The closer the year passed, the heavier the snow fell, and the snow on the road from Taoyuan to Chang'an was no longer above the ankles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Early in the morning, Bai Qi sat in the hall holding hot white porridge and drinking, and Li Chengqian walked in from outside with snowflakes draped.

"This snowflake has buried the world, do you dare to go out?" Bai Qi glanced at Li Chengqian angrily, lowered his head and continued to eat breakfast, this ghost weather is so cold, fortunately he made a kang for himself early, otherwise it is estimated that he would have frozen into a dog.

Li Chengqian walked over with a smile, and poked out a small head tightly wrapped in a sweater from behind him, revealing only a pair of bright big eyes.

"Brother Bai!" Li Zhi's immature voice rang out, and he took off his coat on his head, revealing a flushed face.

Bai Qi immediately opened his arms with a smile on his face, picked up Li Zhi who rushed over, and pinched his nose: "Has Your Highness had breakfast?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head. Bai Qi instructed his subordinates to bring up the breakfast for the two, carried Li Zhi on the high chair, and asked his subordinates to watch Li Zhi from the side.

"Why are you free today?" Bai Qi turned his face and asked Li Chengqian, who was eating breakfast.

"After the morning court, the young slave said that he wanted to come to play with you, so I stopped by." When Li Zhi heard his eldest brother talk about himself, he raised his head, with rice grains on the corner of his mouth, smiled at the two, and continued to lower his head to eat. Li Chengqian glanced at Li Zhi dotingly, and said with a smile: "According to the method of Sun Daochang and you, plus your kang, the queen mother's illness has been much better, and her body has been normal since this winter." The Queen Mother said let me thank you. ”

Bai Qi waved his hand, pushed it and said, "Niangniang's words are serious, I just did my duty as a courtier." In fact, the main credit is still on Sun Daochang, without his extraordinary medical skills, I would be a decoration if I have a few more! ”

Li Chengqian smiled with Bai Qi and did not continue to talk about this matter. Everyone tacitly knows that White has no utilitarian intentions for curing the eldest grandson's illness, and is entirely out of worship of this highly rated queen in history. Li Shimin's family also knew this, so they only privately asked the crown prince Li Chengqian to come over to thank him, the purpose of which was to show that this was a family affair of the royal family, and there was no utilitarianism in it.

The school moved to the back of the village some time ago, because it was going to expand again. The students inside are not only in Taoyuan Village, but also children from nearby villages, as long as they are under the age of 16, they are basically sent here to study. First, the purpose of the school's enrollment is to treat everyone equally, regardless of wealth and poverty, as long as you want to come, and can afford the very cheap tuition, you can come to study; The second is that this school can provide room and board, in addition, those shops and workshops in Taoyuan Village will occasionally come here to recruit some casual workers, and the school itself will also have work-study programs, and many poor students come here and can study part-time, so it is very popular with people nearby.

There were too many people, and it turned out that only one gentleman couldn't do it at all, so Baiqi invited a few famous gentlemen from Chang'an to give them lessons. I occasionally go to class, and the basic lecture is arithmetic, and there are some simple physics knowledge. Li Tai would also come to listen to Baiqi's lessons at first, but later he disliked the stupidity of the classmates around him, and Baiqi didn't talk about new knowledge, so he didn't bother to come.

Bai Qi took Li Zhi to the school, found a set of building blocks on the second floor of his office, and taught Li Zhi to play on the side, then sat by the window with Li Chengqian, brewed a pot of hot tea, and enjoyed the snow outside.

Heavy snow is flying, thousands of mountains are raining at dusk, birds are gone, and between the heaven and earth of white armor, occasionally I see a wisp of light smoke rising in the white, and in the blink of an eye, it is blown away by the north wind. In the distance, on the Wei River, the water has frozen, and a huge waterwheel is frozen in the river, and it is covered with crystal ice edges.

Li Chengqian flipped through a book of elementary arithmetic, frowning and thinking seriously while reading. After a long time, he raised his head, held up the book in his hand with a shocked face, and asked Bai Qi: "Crazy, you wrote this?" ”

"Well, I wrote it by summarizing a lot of foreign knowledge, so I guess I wrote it myself." Bai Qi said lightly, pretending not to see the constipated expression on Li Chengqian's face.

Li Chengqian found a local book from the shelf, took down all the books on arithmetic and physics, there were more than a dozen of them, and looked at Bai Qi in surprise, Bai Qi nodded helplessly, and then Li Chengqian's whole person was square.

"Don't look for it, Qingque has a set there, but it is estimated that he has thrown it into the fire and burned it." Bai Qi said slowly, replacing the cold tea in his hand with a hot one, and sighed comfortably after taking a sip.

"That's what you usually teach your students?" Li Chengqian looked at his good friend curiously, and was a little puzzled: "Why don't you hand over these things to the Guozijian, wouldn't it be better for the protégés of the Guozijian to learn?" ”

Bai Qi shook his head and said seriously: "Guozi teaches the way of governing the country, and I teach the principles of life here, and the two should not be confused. Moreover, I personally hate the Guozijian, who always teach our good things to those foreign students. Seeing Li Chengqian's stunned appearance, Bai Qi warned him: "Don't go back and tell Li Gang this, if you don't want me to be nagged to death by a group of old men!" ”

Li Chengqian left, taking with him the textbook written by Baiqi. The happy Li Zhi took the fun building blocks, waved goodbye to the white chess, and went back with him.

Bai Qi stood at the door of the Hou Mansion, watching Li Chengqian's carriage drift away, the rut marks on the ground slowly covered with snowflakes, and hummed a minor tune and went back to his study.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin, accompanied by Lu Zheng, came to the Hou Mansion in civilian clothes, and the first thing he said when he saw Bai Qi was: "Take me to your school to have a look!" ”

Spacious and bright classrooms, rows of neat tables and chairs, canteens that can accommodate hundreds of people, fully functional independent dormitories, and a book reading room with dense bookshelves that are already full of books, Bai Qi took Li Shimin to look at every corner of the school. Listening to the introduction of white chess, Li Shimin was silent.

Finally, he came to Baiqi's office, Li Shimin sat on the comfortable sofa, and saw that there was a "Chronicle of the Surrounding Regions of Datang" on the table that Baiqi had not yet completed, which was full of introductions to the countries around Datang, which was very detailed.

"Say, what's the point of making such a school?" Li Shimin took this regional chronicle and flipped through the pages, and asked Bai Qi without raising his head.

Bai Qi said wrongly: "Your Majesty, the minister's mind is very pure, okay?" I just want to read to these poor children! ”

Li Shimin glanced at the white chess, snorted coldly and said, "It's strange that I believe in you!" You deliberately asked Cheng Qian to pass on your words to me, just to express some meaning to me. Say, as long as it's not too much, I'll think about it. ”

Bai Qi smiled and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the minister just wants you to give this school a name!" ”

"It's as simple as that?" Li Shimin glared and asked in disbelief.

"It's as simple as that, Your Majesty, the minister is an honest man!" White said patting his chest.

I am very honest and simple, and I generally don't cheat people, if I do, then someone must have been crushed by my own IQ!
