Li Zhi hid his face and ran into the house crying, and the maids from the palace helped change clothes.

The rest of the children were not only frightened, but also curious in their eyes.

This curiosity will arouse children's interest in learning, and it is the age when they are curious about everything in the world, and this age is the best time to tell them about their worldview.

As for what the people in the palace will teach, it doesn't matter.

If you miss this age, it will be difficult to change it when their thinking has a fixed pattern in the future.

Although a month is a bit short, it is still possible to instill some popular science education in them.

For the rest of the day, let the children play with the pumps on their own.

Zhang Yang cleaned up the kitchen and began to prepare dinner, yesterday the village killed a pig, and left some ribs, ribs and radish stew are just right.

Even in the palace, these children rarely eat a meal of rice, and now in Lishan, their mouth is surprisingly good, and it is rice every day for a month.

The villagers were reluctant to eat rice, and after each family had a bag, there was still a surplus.

This year, the weather is good, and maybe the rice yield will be better.

There will be uninvited guests every time the meal arrives, and Li Tai is one of them, and there is also Li Yuan.

Li Chengqian is very thin-skinned, and he will only follow when Li Yuan comes.

The children of the royal family all gathered around the water pump, and several children took turns pumping water and had a lot of fun.

The same dishes are served, and the children's interest moves from the pump to the table.

Li Tai came with a vegetable in his arms, "Brother-in-law, take a look." ”

Seeing the cabbage in Li Tai's hand, Zhang Yang was surprised: "Where did this thing come from?" ”

Li Tai explained: "There are a few Persian merchants who buy and sell things in Chang'an City, what kind of jade, fine iron, and some things that have never been seen before, so they will ask for the king's money. ”

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "When I had no money, I was stretched, but now that I have money, I start to spend money again." ”

Li Tai scratched his head in annoyance, "I regretted it after I bought it, I was really blind." ”

Looking at this cabbage, it looks very old.

Supposedly, this thing is still in the Mediterranean, far west of Persia.

It is true that Western merchants will come to Chang'an, and that is in some places west of the Silk Road and west of Persia.

Zhang Yang brushed aside the vegetable leaves.

This scene made Li Tai feel a pain in his flesh, "I always bought it with money!" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Vegetables are meant to be eaten. ”

"Dish? Isn't this a flower that comes with a bag? ”

"You've been deceived, it's just a dish, it won't bloom." Zhang Yang continued to peel the leaves, "Some of the leaves on the outside are inedible, but the inside is okay." ”

Zhang Yang cut it with a knife, and Li Tai trembled for a while, and his heart was dripping blood.

The roots can be soaked for a period of time and then grow roots and can be planted again, which is a more vigorous vegetable, and it can be widely planted if it can raise seeds.

"Wait for me to fry a pot of cabbage for King Wei to eat, the dish may not taste too good if it is left for too long." Zhang Yang said again: "Are those Persian merchants still in Chang'an City?" ”

Li Tai nodded, "They still have a lot of goods that haven't been sold." ”

Could it be that the Persians also planted cabbage?

There's never too many crops, let alone the right ones to grow.

This is all food, in terms of the diversity of food, in this Datang, where materials are scarce, this is the best nutrient, which can support people and national strength.

Zhang Yang said while stir-frying vegetables, "Can they still have anything weird?" ”

"Just now my brother-in-law said that I was deceived, and now I am anxious to buy it."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yang said again: "For example, spinach and this cabbage are very good crops, and as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he should also walk around with people outside the customs." ”

"For this vegetable, it took the usual money, and my brother-in-law didn't know how outrageous their offer was."

Zhang Yang said again: "Let them go to Lishan, I will see what they have in their hands, and say that the Foreign Affairs Yuan has an invitation, and then it is difficult to let Xu Jingzong come forward." ”

Li Tai picked up a peach and ate it, "What is your letter to Songtsen Gampo?" ”

Zhang Yang fried a pot of vegetables and served it on the table, and the little fat man followed back and forth, "Children, don't ask so much. ”

Li Tai chewed the peach hard, "I just don't know, I have been thinking about it in my heart and asking because I am uncomfortable." ”

Zhang Yang whispered, "I told him that Tang Xuanzang is a very talented person, he is a very important figure in the Tang Dynasty, and his Buddhism is very important. ”

"Tang Xuanzang? The monk who ran away? ”

Zhang Yang still nodded, "Maybe after receiving the letter, Songtsen Gampo will be able to take good care of him by speaking of martial arts." ”

Li Tai frowned and said: "I always feel that it is not a good word, there must be a conspiracy here." ”

"How can there be so many conspiracies and tricks, even if there is, I won't say it, so don't ask His Royal Highness King Wei."

Putting all the rice into a small bucket, Zhang Yang walked to the dining table with the rice, and all the children were already seated, "Report the number first!" ”

"One! Two! Three! Four ......"

The children counted loudly one after another, and after confirming that everyone was there, they began to let the children serve their own meals.

Zhang Yang sat next to Li Yuan, and Li Chengqian was still sitting on the side.

The royal family is here, and Li Yuan is eating and looking at the pump from time to time.

Zhang Yang said: "This thing is not perfect enough, when I have a good evening, I will give it to the Emperor Taishang, so that you can fetch water and play every day." ”

Li Yuan took a sip of wine, "It's the people who fetch water, and I don't know how to fetch water myself, I'm just curious about the water in the well?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded.

Li Yuan asked again, "How did the well water come up?" ”

Zhang Yang gave Li Yuan some more vegetable leaves, "You should eat more vegetables, and this bean sprout is also good, you should eat more." ”

The children's appetite has always been the best, there is not much left of the dishes on the table for one or two bites, Li Tai looked up and saw that the pots of dishes were about to be eaten, he used to eat by himself, but now he has younger brothers and sisters competing for meat and vegetables, and as the king of Wei, he feels a little lonely.

Ever since I met these bear children and came to Lishan, there have been rivals for food.

They are just a group of children, and the gap in the realm is very large, but it is the principle of air pressure, and I have long understood it.

In two years, he will become an adult, and he will be an adult in the future, Li Tai comforted himself with a calculation in his heart, and he didn't care.

After the meal, Li Yuan used a toothpick to shave the fine flesh between his teeth, and he couldn't put it down after using a toothpick once, this thing was so easy to use.

After the meal, the children played by themselves for a while, Zhang Yang looked at the toys that were made for Li Yue before, but now in the hands of this group of little devils, the tumbler and the Rubik's Cube have been broken.

Some melancholy is helpless, this group of children is really too cruel, and the destructive power and inexhaustible energy are really terrifying.

Gao Yang knocked down a crockpot, and she was still proud of her strength.

After looking at it numbly for a long time, time passed little by little, and an hour passed, Zhang Yang rang the bell in his hand and started class again.

The children came to find their seats again, Zhang Yang said: "Everyone has tried it just now, this pump can pump out the water, I will tell you the principle of air pressure, and the principle of wind and air squeezing in this regard......

At the beginning of a class, Zhang Yang uses a storytelling method to explain the principle, and the children will listen very carefully.

But once they leave the storytelling, the children get distracted again.

The children were also asked to hold a thin bamboo tube to suck the water in the cup.

The lesson was very lively, and the children were also very interested in the small experiments.

Li Yuan, Li Tai, and Li Chengqian were all listening.

Li Chengqianhu said suspiciously: "Lone remembers, Qingque has also studied this kind of thing. ”

Li Tai nodded; "That's natural, at that time in order to understand the reason for the collection of a lot of classics, this is the understanding, at that time I thought that this knowledge was useless, now I see the whole thing of digging well water, I can be regarded as knowing that these things are useful, can bring convenience to life, that is the truth."

"Truth? There are many people who can understand the truth of the world, and I think that this Zhang Yang is just a little more understanding than others. Li Yuan said with a smile.

After listening to this class, I waited until it was nightfall, and the three of them each had their own thoughts and opinions, and then left.

At night, Li Yue had little time to concentrate on handling the accounts, and he had to teach these children simple math, but fortunately, Li Lizhen and Xiao Wu had some foundation and could teach on their behalf.

Seeing that the children still couldn't hold the brush in their hands, Li Lizhi and Xiao Wu patiently explained like adults.

The couple watched this scene at home.

Li Yue whispered: "I also asked the young slaves, most of the people in the palace teach them etiquette and etiquette, and rarely teach them such knowledge. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Continue to explain air pressure to them tomorrow, and it will be better to instill this kind of knowledge in them while they are still young, and you can accept them all as disciples of the Mountain Gate." ”

"I do, but I'd better wait until the end of the month to see how these kids are doing."

It seems that Li Yue still wants to choose a few from them.

After the end of a class, it was the saddest moment for the bear, and it was chased and beaten by Gao Yang and Li Zhi.

As the saying goes, a dog jumps over a wall.

The bear climbed up to the roof, and his dark eyes looked at the few little devils under the eaves, and he did not dare to go down.

In the past, the bear cub had energy and didn't know where to use it, but now in the face of this group of bear children, its energy is simply not enough to cope.

At this moment, the bear was still wearing children's clothes, and it was scratching so hard that it couldn't take it off, and it was running back and forth on the roof.

In the end, he simply lay on the roof and remained motionless, until late at night, when the children were asleep.

Li Yue waved his hand to the roof, and the bear jumped from the eaves to the hut on the side, and then climbed from the hut to the windowsill before coming down, and walked to Li Yue's feet, where it hugged its legs with its claws to show its grievances.

There is also some warm rice in the pot, pour some soup and minced meat into a bowl and feed it to eat.

Seeing it gobbling up, it has only now eaten, and some distressed strokes the hair on its back, and this painful day will continue for half a month.

Early the next morning, Li Tai and Xu Jingzong led a group of Persians to the entrance of the village.

Several Persians are now dressed in the clothes of the Guanzhong, but they are wearing scarves and beards.

Xu Jingzong stood aside and was silent.

Li Tai explained: "This is the Persian who sold things in Chang'an City. ”

The person who came spoke Persian dialect that others could not understand, but a person from the Western Regions could translate it, and he said: "This is talking about the respected nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and these things are the most fair price." ”

Hearing the word justice, Li Tai spat out a mouthful of spit to show his disgust.

A cart full of goods, uncovering the cloth cover, the first thing Zhang Yang saw was a pair of ivory that was still intact.

There are also some red and green gems.

I accidentally found some olives, which were shriveled and would have been nice if they were fresh.

There are also boxes made of camel bones.

The rest of the stuff is of little value.

There were often wars in the area west of Persia, and it was a very chaotic place with many small states, and it was not uncommon for them to divide and merge.

These wars have also become an obstacle to the flow of goods.

Won't these guys make peace and develop trade and bring more good things to Guanzhong?

Zhang Yang took a few olives and took out a picture, "I want these three things, I don't know if they can find them when they return to Persia, even if they can't find it, it doesn't matter." ”

Several Persians took the map and consulted in a Persian language that the others did not understand.

The people from the Western Regions translated: "They said they had not seen it, and they could look for it when they returned to Persia." ”

After taking a few olives, Zhang Yang paid a bunch of silver to let them leave.

It wasn't that there was no harvest, but a few olives that could be used as seeds.

The pits of these olives are suitable for making seeds, and you have to raise your own seedlings.

After sending the Persians away, Li Tai complained, "These Persians really don't understand what they say, but those jade stones are very beautiful, why did my brother-in-law take such a few fruits." ”

】

"We can raise our own olives and we can use them to make olive oil."

It is said that the area west of Persia to the Mediterranean Sea is quite far, and it is rare for Westerners to come to Chang'an City to do business.

Although it was hard to transport goods from the West to the splendid city of Chang'an in the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty was the most splendid place of human civilization and a wealthy country in this era.

Along the way, they traveled thousands of miles, and some people were either robbed or died of illness when they walked halfway down the road.

It is also rare for Westerners to walk to Chang'an City well.

During this period, they also have to calculate the days and seasons, avoid the desert wind season, and pay attention to water sources along the way.

There are many other countries to the west of Persia, and it is also a place of complex kingdoms and peoples.

It is said that there is no other country in the West that can rule and unify such a large territory as the Emperor of the Central Plains.

Li Tai asked, "What is olive oil and is it delicious?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Of course it's delicious, when the time comes, His Royal Highness King Wei can drink as much as he wants." ”

"Really?"

"That's nature."

Li Taihu wondered: "Why do I think you are lying, can you really drink that olive oil?" ”

"Of course you can drink it, and it tastes very good."
