Chapter 672: It's New Year
Although Confucius has long put forward the concept of education without class, and he also teaches publicly, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, real education is still controlled by the major families, and the private schools of some great families are even more popular than Guozijian, as for the four famous academies in the history of later generations, that is, Yingtian Academy, Yuelu Academy, Songyang Academy and Bailudong Academy, they did not appear at all in this period of the Tang Dynasty, and even ordinary people don't know what the academy is?
After Li Xiu learned about the above, he actually wanted to build a academy as famous as the four major academies in later generations, not to mention anything else, just breaking the family's monopoly on education is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, but the academy is not so easy to build, even with his current fame, I am afraid it will be difficult to build a real academy, not to mention that the gentleman in the academy alone is not so easy to find, not to mention that managing a academy is also extremely cumbersome, Li Xiu does not want to spend the rest of his life on a academy.

Of course, the academy can't be built, it doesn't prevent Li Xiu from building a school, anyway, the Tang Dynasty court also opened public schools in various places to teach Mongolian studies, Li Xiu's school is similar to the imperial court's school, mainly for the enlightenment of children in the surrounding villages, of course, the things taught must be different from the traditional Mongolian studies, such as Li Xiu will add some knowledge of mathematics and physics to the curriculum.
Of course, Li Xiu still has a little ambition in his heart, of course, the current school is only used for enlightenment, but if the development is good, it may not be able to become the existence of the four major academies in history in the future, but he only thinks about this matter in his heart, and does not report too much hope, after all, he does not plan to spend too much thought on the school, and how far it can develop in the future depends on its creation.
The Tian Chip recommended by Yang Dui is very good, not only proficient in arithmetic, but also has teaching and management experience in Guozijian, so it is useless for him to manage a school for enlightenment, but he also put forward a condition, that is, he hopes to hand over the management of the school to him, even Li Xiu must not interfere.
Li Xiu didn't have much opinion on Tian Chip's requirements, after all, this school is different from ordinary private schools, not to mention anything else, the general private school has dozens of children at most, but the school has to accept hundreds of children, if there is no strict management, let alone teaching, it is difficult to deal with discipline alone.
However, the management of the school can be handed over to Tian Chip, but the system of the school is formulated by Li Xiu, Tian Chip was still a little reluctant, but when he saw the detailed rules and regulations of the school written by Li Xiu, he couldn't help but be shocked, in fact, Li Xiu almost copied the management and teaching system of the school in later generations, from the teaching method to the length of the bell in and out of class, Li Xiu almost thought of it, it can be said that as long as Tian Chip does it, the entire school can be managed in an orderly manner.
After reading the rules and regulations of this school, Tian Chip also admired Li Xiu even more, and now Li Xiu also agreed with him that he could come to the school to serve after the New Year, and before the Shangyuan Festival, he would start recruiting students, and Li Xiu would also cooperate with him at that time.
A few days later, the new year is coming again, this year Li Xiu's family has added the little princess Le'an, which is also Li Xiu's happiest thing, seeing that Li Xiu likes her daughter so much, Princess Pingyang also seems a little anxious, Li Xiu has no choice but to work harder at night.
On the second day of junior high school, it is the day when the married woman returns to her parents' house, although the relationship between Yiniang and her father Pei Ju has eased, but it is still not very close, and the Pei family has nothing to be nostalgic for her, so she has never had the habit of returning to her parents' home, Li Xiu has persuaded her several times, but Yiniang did not listen at all.
Originally, according to the royal rules, Princess Pingyang should also go to Da'an Palace to visit Li Yuan on the second day of junior high school, in fact, all of Li Yuan's children will come to visit Li Yuan on this day, which is also the biggest gathering of the royal family in a year, but Princess Pingyang is reluctant to participate, because Li Shimin will also go, in fact, since Li Jiancheng died, she has been unwilling to see Li Shimin, even if it is such a family gathering, she will not go, but will visit Li Yuan with Li Xiu in the third year of junior high school.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that when others dragged their families to go to relatives, Li Xiu actually stayed at home and had nothing to do, and finally simply left home to take a walk outside, but before he walked a few steps, he suddenly saw a luxurious carriage passing by on the official road not far away, Li Xiu didn't care at first, but when the carriage was not far from him, he suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting: "Master, why are you outside alone?" ”
Li Xiu heard the sound and looked, and immediately saw a familiar face in the car window, it was Su Niang, who had been married to a wife, that is, the daughter of Boss Liu, when her family was in difficulty, Li Xiu proposed to let her make chili sauce, but now Su Niang's chili sauce has become a must in Chang'an, merchants from the south to the north like to bring a few bottles when they are merchant, just relying on this chili sauce, Su Niang has become one of the famous rich people in Chang'an.
"Su Niang, are you going to Uncle Liu's house?" At the same time that Li Xiu saw Su Niang, he also saw Liu Dalang sitting next to Su Niang in the carriage, and when the other party saw Li Xiu, he immediately probed to say hello, his legs and feet were not good, and the previous injury also left a little sequelae, but he can usually help Su Niang take care of business.
"Yes, it's so cold, why are you wandering around outside alone, sir?" Su Niang smiled again at this time, she knew the situation in Li Xiu's family better than anyone else, and she also knew that Li Xiu's two wives had problems at home, so she didn't ask more.
"I'm also idle and bored, so I'll just come out and walk around." Li Xiu replied, but seeing Su Niang reminded him of one thing, and he spoke again at the moment, "By the way, there is something I just wanted to tell Uncle Liu, since you are going, then help me convey it." ”
"No problem, what is my lord going to say to my father?" Su Niang said very happily, she can have her current life now, and the person she is most grateful to is Li Xiu, and after earning money, their family has moved to Chang'an City, originally she also wanted to take Boss Liu's family to live in Chang'an City, but Boss Liu has worked hard for most of his life, and he can't leave the land at all, and he can't be idle, so he insists on living in the village.
"That's the case, I see that the children in the surrounding villages run crazy every day and can't learn anything, so I built a school, and now we are about to start recruiting students, so you ask Uncle Liu to inform the people in the Zhuangzi and let everyone with children in the family come to the school to go to school, after all, if you can read and write, it will be better than being blind who can't read and write in the future." Li Xiu said with a smile, the matter of the school has actually been spread a long time ago, and it is estimated that Boss Liu and they also know, but he has just decided the time for enrollment.
"That's great, you're thoughtful, sir!" Su Niang's eyes lit up when she heard Li Xiu's words, as she began to do business, she felt more and more the importance of reading, and fortunately, she had studied with Yuechan for a period of time, so it can be said that she could write and calculate, and her husband Liu Dalang also read for a few years, which allowed them to support such a large agriculture, otherwise their family's chili sauce business would not have been so big.
"It's always a good thing to read and write, for example, your two younger brothers can come to the school to study." Li Xiu smiled again at this time, if he remembered correctly, Su Niang's two younger brothers are now of school age.
"Speaking of the two younger brothers, I am angry with my father, originally I told my father last year that I would ask a gentleman for the two younger brothers to teach them to read, but my father is a dead brain, I think reading is too expensive, it is better to let me teach them, and by the way, I can also learn to do business with me, but I am usually so busy, how can I have time to teach my two younger brothers to read?" As soon as Su Niang mentioned the matter of reading, she was also angry at the moment, and it seemed that she and Boss Liu had some conceptual conflicts.
"Hehe, Uncle Liu is old, and it's normal for some things to be inconsiderate, but our school doesn't cost money, and there is a free meal at noon, it is estimated that Uncle Liu will definitely not object, after all, your brother is idle at home, it is okay, it is better to come and learn something!" Li Xiu immediately smiled when he heard this.
"Okay, if my father doesn't want to, I'll go to my mother, and then the two of us will make trouble with him, and let my brother go to school no matter what." Su Niang patted her chest and reassured, but when she said this, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Master, when my chili grows up, can I also go to the school to study?" ”
Su Niang said and pointed to a little guy in the carriage who was held by the nurse, this little guy is the son of Su Niang and Liu Dalang, because Su Niang started with chili peppers, so he gave his son a nickname called chili, and he is not yet a year old.
"No problem, but with your family's conditions, you can find a private school teacher to teach your chili alone, and you don't need to come to school with us, right?" Li Xiu first nodded when he heard Su Niang's words, and then asked with some puzzlement.
"That's different, sir, you are a famous talent in our Tang Dynasty, where is the average private school Mr. can be compared, so the school you opened must be stronger than others, and you must let Chili follow you to learn in the future." Su Niang immediately said that she was not flattering Li Xiu, but sincerely felt that no one in the world could compare with Li Xiu.
Hearing Su Niang praise herself like this, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing, and then exchanged a few words with him, and then said goodbye to the couple, it was almost noon, Li Xiu returned home, first went to play with his daughter Le'an for a while, and then the family prepared lunch.
However, when he was preparing lunch, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates, saying that Zhang Shiyi and his wife came to visit, and it was estimated that they had nowhere to go today, so they came to Li Xiu's house to eat, so Li Xiu also hurriedly invited them in, but what Li Xiu didn't expect was that Zhang Shiyi just saw him, and immediately pulled him to a corner and said: "Donkey, there is something I have to tell you!" ”
