Li Xiu encountered two groups of children fighting, the cause was just a small contradiction, so after reprimanding the two children for the first few words, he asked people to bring some snacks to the children, but the children who were still in a ball just now actually sat together and talked and laughed to eat their hearts, after all, they are all children, and the contradictions come and go quickly.

Looking at the cheerful children eating snacks not far away, Li Xiu smiled knowingly, and did not disturb these children anymore, turned around and walked upstream along the river, and after a while, a huge manor appeared in front of him, which was the courtyard of Princess Pingyang in the past, but it was later given to Ma Ye and became the home of Ma Ye and the county lord of Guanghua.

At that moment, Li Xiu came to the living room of Ma Ye's house, and after a while, he saw Ma Ye lazily walking in from the outside and said, "Why do you have time to come to me, that little guy is okay, has he chosen a good name?" ”

"I'm also worried about the name, why don't you help pick a name, Uncle Ma?" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, the relationship between Ma Ye and the county lord of Guanghua is very good, so after he came back, he also stayed at home every day to accompany his wife.

"I'm just a big boss, it's better for you to think about this kind of thing by yourself, lest the name I choose is too ugly, and let the children complain about me in the future!" When Ma Ye heard Li Xiu's words, he waved his hand again and again, and he didn't want to take over Li Xiu's hard work.

"By the way, you are not at home with your baby daughter, why did you come to me for no reason?" Ma Ye was probably afraid that Li Xiu would say anything about letting him help choose a name, so he immediately changed the topic at this time.

"I didn't have a headache at home to think of my daughter's name, so I came out for a turn, and I encountered two groups of children fighting, one of which was from Wuzhizhuang, but I was also a little strange, why didn't these children go to school to study, and they ran around outside?" Li Xiu explained with a smile at this time, and when he said the end, the smile on his face slowly converged.

"These little rabbit cubs, they are obviously unwilling to go to study in the private school in Zhuangzi, and the men in Zhuangzi often go out to do business, and they don't have time to take care of them, so they all develop a wild temperament and make trouble outside all day long!" Ma Ye couldn't help but scold when he heard this, the Five Fingers Village was full of his old brothers and old subordinates, so when he heard the children in the Zhuangzi fighting outside, he couldn't help but be very annoyed.

"Uncle Ma, did you build the private school in Zhuangzi at your expense?" Li Xiu also asked seriously at this time, although he often went to Wuzhizhuang, he didn't know much about the situation there.

"It's not, you also know that the Zhuangzi are my old subordinates and brothers, they follow the caravan to run business, and they all earn a lot of money, some people pay more attention to their children, so they discuss paying together, and invite Mr. to build a private school, so that their children can go to school, but you also know that most of the brothers in the army are from poor families, and they don't have much knowledge, and even many people think that it is enough to let their children dress and eat well, plus they often go out, and they have no time to discipline at all, As a result, most of the children in Zhuangzi did not study. When Ma Ye said the end, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Although the scholars are very respected, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, the vast majority of people are not educated, even if they are parents, they only have the concept of raising children, and there is no concept of teaching, it can be said that most children are in a state of free-range, even if it is a Zhuangzi like Wuzhizhuang who is not short of money, many children do not go to school, after all, there are still a few children who really like to read, and the vast majority of children prefer to play.

"This is not a good thing, when I saw those children just now, I was thinking about this problem in my heart, and not only the children of Wuzhizhuang, but also the children of nearby tenant families, all of them are running around like wild children, and it is not a way to go on like this, so I think I can build a big private school and let the children around me come to school!"

At this time, Li Xiu finally said what he just thought, education is a century-old plan, if you want to continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, you must cultivate more talents for future generations, Li Xiu didn't have time to think about these before, now that the external threat has been eliminated, the rest naturally need to start laying a good foundation from the inside.

"Build a big private school so that all the children around you can come to school?" Ma Ye couldn't help but look at him in surprise when he heard Li Xiu's thoughts, this idea is really a bit bold, although the imperial court also has similar public schools, but because of the shortage of finances, most of the public schools in various places exist in name only, and even if there are children going to public schools, they can't learn anything in the end.

"Yes, Zhuge Liang once said: There is no way to broaden talents without learning, and there is no way to learn without ambition. And also said: The year and the time are gone, the intention and the day are gone, and then they will become withered, and they will not receive the world, and they will be sad and poor, what will happen! If you let those children play and frolic all day long, how will they become the pillars of my Datang in the future? Li Xiu said with a serious expression at this time.

After having children, Li Xiu has also read many education-related works left by his predecessors, the above two paragraphs of Zhuge Liang are from his "Book of Commandments", the former sentence explains the role of education, and the latter paragraph explains from the opposite side that if a child is not educated, then it will become like a dead branch and a leaf in the future, and it will not be of any use to himself or society.

"That's a good idea, but the imperial court has already set up public schools in various places, if we run such a big private school, will people use this to attack you?" Ma Ye was still a little worried at this time, when he reached Li Xiu's status, every word and deed might be stared at, so he had to be cautious.

"What's this, the imperial court has a public school, and it didn't say that it was not allowed to set up a private school, and Uncle Ma, think about it, which of those big families doesn't have a private school, it is said that some private schools can't even compare to the imperial court's Taixue, in comparison, what is it for me to build a private school for children from caravans and tenant families to go to school?" Li Xiu didn't care at this time.

Seeing that Li Xiu had made up his mind, and Ma Ye also felt that what he said made sense, so he didn't stop him anymore, but then he thought of another question, and frowned at the moment and said: "This private school is good, the old brothers over there in Wuzhizhuang are not short of money, and they don't need the children at home to help them work, so it must be no problem for the children over there to go to school, whoever dares not to come to Lao Tzu will beat him, but the children of the tenant family are generally used as half adults, and they usually have to work, I'm afraid it is not easy for them to send their children to private schools to study, right?" ”

"This is a big problem, but it is not without a solution, now with the promotion of corn and sweet potatoes, as long as our tenants are not too lazy, it must be no problem to eat a full meal, so the children of the tenant family do not need to work every day, and I plan to provide a free lunch in the private school, and the private school does not charge any fees, so that it should be able to attract a group of tenant children to study." Li Xiu thought for a moment at this time.

"Actually, if you want me to say that you don't have to do more, anyway, your private school is not only for a few days, and when the first batch of children who study leave the private school, even if they are admitted to the imperial examination, they will definitely be much better than those wild children who don't go to school, and then other people will naturally rush to send their children to your private school!" Ma Ye nodded after hearing this.

Seeing that Ma Ye also agreed, Li Xiu was also very happy, and discussed the details of opening a private school with Ma Ye at the moment, in fact, there was nothing to discuss, it was nothing more than Li Xiu to pay for it, and then choose a place to build a private school, and then hire some gentlemen to teach children to read, of course, he may make some guidance and changes to the teaching of the private school, but these are all things in the future.

"By the way, are you free during this time?" At this moment, I suddenly saw Ma Ye hesitate and asked.

"Uncle Ma, what's the matter?" Li Xiu saw Ma Ye's appearance and hurriedly asked, Ma Ye is not a mother-in-law, and it is definitely not a trivial matter for him to show such an expression.

"Actually, it's nothing, didn't Your Majesty promise to let Guanghua reunite with her son after the Turks are destroyed, I have asked Your Majesty for instructions before, and he agreed, so I want to find a time to go to Luoyang, and then bring Guanghua's son back, so as not to let her suffer from the separation of mother and son." Ma Ye sighed at this time and said, he can't have children, so he also treats the children of the county lord of Guanghua as if he is gone, especially the hater is even more favored by Ma Ye.

"It turns out that this is the case, no problem, anyway, Luoyang is not far away, when are you going to leave, Ma Ye, I will go with you then!" Li Xiu heard that Ma Ye was preparing to reunite the mother and son of the county lord of Guanghua, and immediately nodded and said, Ma Ye has no relatives around him, and he is his closest person, so he should help himself.

After chatting about business, Li Xiu chatted a few words with Ma Ye, and Li Xiu also told him about his conversation with Wei Zheng, hoping to get Ma Ye's guidance, but when it came to Wei Zheng, Ma Ye was also very troubled, after all, this is a hard bone, Li Xiu wants to persuade the other party to change his mind, then he can only resign himself to fate, he can't help much.

At noon, Li Xiu originally wanted to say goodbye and go home, but the county lord of Guanghua suddenly came out to stay as a guest, and insisted that Li Xiu try her cooking skills, and Ma Ye also persuaded him to stay, and finally Li Xiu had to have a meal here at Ma Ye, all the dishes are in charge of the county lord of Guanghua, not to mention, although the cooking skills of the county lord of Guanghua are not as good as Yuechan, but they are also quite good, no wonder Ma Ye has gained weight several times after getting married.

After eating, Li Xiu said goodbye and left, but when he came to the door of the house, he suddenly saw a team of people and horses galloping on the official road not far away, and the leader turned out to be Li Xiu's old acquaintance Tang Jian.
