Chapter 508: The emperor was cold in front of the door, and the Taishi's car was hot
Bang, clang.
The emperor's convoy moved slowly on the official road, stopping and stopping.
No way, there are too many people with me this time, and it's a long journey.
This is not a rush march, considering everyone's stamina, you can only set a target mileage every day and rush slowly.
From Chang'an to Mount Tai, you have to walk for three months, a hundred days! Who can stand it if you go fast?
As the sun began to rise, the convoy stopped.
"Bury the pot, make rice!"
With the order of the vanguard, the men carried all kinds of kitchen utensils, built the stove on the spot, and began to make rice.
The emperor, empress, and princess have a set of standards.
Imperial relatives and ministers and family members are another package standard.
Ordinary janissaries and retinues are another set.
The three standards, produced by three teams, are distinct.
After a while, a scent wafted into the dragon chariot.
"It's so fragrant......"
Li Shimin touched his stomach, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a smile,
"Guanyin, the weather is just right outside, let's get out of the car and go to dinner, how about it?"
"It's fine." The eldest grandson rubbed his forehead, slightly tired.
The carriage was bumpy, and she was not very comfortable all the time.
"Uncomfortable?"
Li Er said with concern,
"Isn't it too tiring?"
The eldest grandson Wujian nodded, and with Li Chengqian's support, he got off the dragon chariot.
"Hey, it's only the first day...... There are still three months to go. β
Li Shimin said with some worry,
"How's this going to work? I wouldn't have let you come out if I had known......"
It's just that there is something wrong with his own body, I'm afraid that his wife won't be able to stand it!
"It's rare to be a Zen seal, how can I not go as a queen?"
The eldest grandson replied,
"It's okay, it's okay, just get a good night's sleep."
"Come, come to dinner, there's your favorite fish soup."
Li Shimin nodded at this time, and got off the dragon chariot in three or two steps.
Outside, there is an endless farmland, and the official road where the convoy is located has long been closed, and ordinary cars and horses cannot enter.
Of course, the people who worked in the fields on foot were not affected, and Li Er also had a clear will that the trip to Feng Zen should not disturb the people's work and rest.
On the table, there are several delicate porcelain bowls, and the dishes in them are fragrant and exquisite.
"It's similar to eating in the palace......"
The eldest grandson frowned and said,
"There are meat and vegetarian dishes, and you brought all the imperial chefs with you?"
As soon as her words fell, Li Chengqian and Li Tai had already pounced.
"Don't rob, it's mine!"
"Brother, don't swallow it alone! I want to eat it too! β
"Woooooooooo......oo You give it to me, you give it to me, you give it to me! β
These little cubs usually eat a lot of snacks in the palace, but they don't move much, and they don't have much interest in these meals, so they just take two bites and finish the work.
But now on the trip, there are no snacks at all, and I am always bumpy and bumpy, and my stomach is hungry.
"Don't rob it!"
The eldest grandson rebuked,
"It's all there, it's not enough for the cook to cook it for you!"
"Do you want to be polite?"
Li Shimin smiled.
"It's fragrant to rush to eat, I also liked to grab food when I was a child."
He waved his hand, and said with some smugness,
"How's that, it's a good logistical right?"
"Travelling away, no compromise on specs! Eat what you eat in the palace, and eat it here! β
The eldest grandson pursed his lips.
"That must be several times the usual cost!"
She said,
"It's a problem to transport all these fresh vegetables, as well as live fish."
"How much manpower and material resources do we have to spend to serve such a lunch?"
Li Shimin rubbed his face.
"Why are you worried about this...... It's not that we pay for it. β
He muttered,
"I didn't loot the people's fat and people's ointment, it was all paid for by the money bank."
"We didn't eat him for nothing, you see that flag hanging on a high place, now everyone in the world knows his money!"
The eldest grandson rolled his eyes.
"That can't be! None of anyone's money is blown by the wind. β
She said displeased,
"Ordinary people are poor and rich, but as an emperor, you must be frugal on the road!"
"If you are extravagant, the people below will do the same! When the time comes, extravagance will become the norm, and the silver will be spent like water! β
"What's that going on? Isn't that what Emperor Yang of Sui did? β
Li Shimin: "!! β
He has 'Yang Guang stress reaction', if anyone says that he is similar to Yang Guang, he must be anxious!
This moment is no exception.
"You...... You're really ...... It's even more powerful than that Wei Zheng! β
Li Er gritted his teeth, but in the end he was deflated and said,
"Okay, okay!"
"Come, pass on my will, starting from the next meal, remove the fresh vegetables and live fish, and don't send them to me quickly!"
"My food is consistent with the ministers!"
"Yes." The waiter answered.
"Satisfied, right?" Li Er looked at his wife and spread his hands.
"That's pretty much ......"
The eldest grandson snorted softly,
"We can't finish this meal, go and call a few people to come and share it together."
Li Shimin nodded.
The emperor has big rules, and he has at least ten or twenty dishes for a meal, but the emperor is a human being, not a pig, so he can't eat so much.
Give food to the minister, as a sign of grace, and it will not be wasted.
"Cheng Qian, Qingque."
Li Er commanded,
"Don't eat it! Give you both a task. β
"Go and call your master, as well as Uncle Fang, Uncle Changsun, Uncle Wei Chi, Uncle Cheng, as long as you are familiar with your uncles, you can call them!"
"Let's have dinner together!" γ
Li Chengqian wiped a handful of oil from his mouth.
Li Tai swallowed a mouthful of rice balls with difficulty.
"Yes!"
The two cubs jumped and ran away.
After a while, they went and returned.
"Father, Uncle Fang is not in his carriage!"
"Father, the eldest grandson and uncle are not here!"
"They all seem to have gone to Master's place, Master's big crowd!"
Li Shimin: "? β
Did they all run Xu Fenglei? What are you going to do?
He was a little more curious, took off his robe and threw it to his wife, and walked towards Xu Fenglei's carriage.
β¦β¦
In front of a carriage.
"Taishi, when will this Tang School Palace open and when will it enroll students?"
"I brought my child, can you take a look?"
"Taishi, my baby is also very smart, can you help take a look? Really, I don't lie to you, he can memorize poems at the age of three, compose at the age of five, and ...... at the age of seven."
"Taishi, what are the items for admissions...... If you reveal a little bit, let's go back and get ready! β
"yes......"
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Fenglei looked at everyone's earnest faces, and his head was about to get bigger.
What is this, this is!
Came with a child to block him!
If it weren't for the help of Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin, he would have been squeezed flat by them!
"Taishi, is it too late to buy shares now? I am willing to invest 200,000 taels in shares! β
"I want to take a stake too! If only I had known sooner! β
"Taishi ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Li Shimin was in the corner of the carriage, and his face darkened when he heard this.
These ministers are really rich! Spending 200,000 taels of silver is like playing, without blinking your eyes.
Are they so rich?
Let me see who they are......
At this glance, he was a little relieved.
Most of those who have deep pockets and are clamoring for shares are military generals, which is normal.
When he first fought the world, I don't know how many generals secretly swallowed the spoils, and as the commander-in-chief, he also turned a blind eye.
After all, I swallowed it myself......
If it weren't for that, how could he have so much money to buy people's hearts and manage his power?
comforting himself like this, Li Shimin continued to eavesdrop.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."
Xu Fenglei raised his hands and said loudly,
"Listen to me."
After a while, everyone fell silent.
"I can understand your feelings, after all, you all want to give your children a good education."
Xu Fengleidao,
"Especially the children of military attachΓ©s, they hope that the children of their families will get ahead and become scholars and cultural people."
"I can understand that, but I also want to make it clear to youβ"
"I originally thought of opening Chang'an Academy, which is now the Datang Academy, not to collect money, not to make profits, but to really want to set up a sound talent training mechanism in Datang."
"So, the matter of shares, please don't think about it anymore, I made it clear that this road is impossible to go, to be honest, I was also because I was really short of money, so I made this decision, and now I am not short of money, and the court also has allocation, so naturally there is no longer any need for crowdfunding."
When everyone heard this, they all showed disappointment.
However, the expressions of Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin and others were a little proud.
They're the ones who got in the car in the first place! You can enjoy the treatment of your children being sent to school!
Now looking at the appearance of these people begging grandpa to sue grandma, my heart is so cool!
It's worth it! Too prescient!
"Then, I'll talk about the opening of the school and admissions."
Xu Fenglei said again,
"The Tang School Palace is about to be completed, and it is expected to open in September, and the enrollment will be in June."
"That is to say, when His Majesty comes back, we will start recruiting students in full swing, and it is expected that the first batch of students will be about 500."
There are five classes on one floor, and there are 50 people in one class.
It is more appropriate to accommodate 500 students in one building, and if you insist on cramming it in, you will have to stuff another one or two hundred people at most.
In its current form, this is not enough...... If you open the door for these powerful people, it won't be enough for them to stuff people inside!
This Xu Fenglei didn't agree, he was aiming to serve the children of the people! The children of the nobles must strictly control the proportion!
"It's only 500 people......"
"That's a little less...... Taishi, what is the standard for admission, is it to recite the "Book of Songs", or the Four Books and Five Classics? Can you tell me about it? β
The ministers shouted again.
"No, none of this will be examined, and I will not examine any book knowledge."
Xu Fenglei smiled lightly,
"What's the point of those things being tangible, things that can be done by rote? It is impossible to judge a person's wisdom and character. β
"I'm going to investigate a man's God!"
"There is a word called Jiongjiong God, and what I want to investigate is this 'God'!"
"Much, don't say it again, otherwise it will be unfair to other children, that's all it takes, let's disperse...... I'm going to eat. β
When everyone heard this, they were all a little confused.
God?
What is God? It's so mysterious!
"Blazing? This word is used to describe the eyes, isn't it that the Taishi wants to investigate the eyesight? β
"Sight, you ghost! Looks, eyes understand! I kind of understand what Master Tai means......"
"Really? Then tell me about it! β
"Don't say it! Figure it out for yourself! I told you, what should I do if your son compares my son? Now the competition has begun! β
"You're a, or aren't you a brother?! Don't even say that? Don't say brother, you don't have to do it! At the beginning, Lao Tzu still blocked the knife for you......"
"Okay, be quiet, be quiet...... I'm telling you, don't tell anyone, I guess too, this exam...... Maybe it has something to do with a person's spirit, that is, the spiritual outlook......"
ββ¦β¦β
Driven by Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin, everyone finally left.
"Hey, these guys, what are you doing in such a hurry!"
Wei Chi Gong said hesitantly,
"Isn't it just a study, isn't it the same to find a random Mr. Xixi? Why do you have to go to the school palace to study? β
Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes.
"Can Mr. Xixi compare with the Tang Academy? This is the first public school in Datang! His Majesty supports it, and the Taishi is in charge himself, can it be the same? β
He said,
"Why are those children of the family excellent, isn't it because they have family education and heritage?"
"And now, behind the Tang Academy Palace is the royal collection, with the best gentlemen in the world to teach! What is taught by this must be better than those children of the family, and it must be a talent! β
"With this one advantage, who is not greedy? Especially those who are old and coarse, they want to take off the hat of illiteracy in their dreams, and they want their descendants to produce a few literate people who can follow the path of civil officials. β
"Believe it or not, if you want to say that you will transfer the quota of your family captain Chi Baolin, those people can kneel down and kowtow to you and call your father!"
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.
In order for their children to get a better education, some parents are really stunned!
A common disease in ancient and modern times.
"Hey, I won't transfer! I'm stupid, I'm stupid! β
Yu Chi Gong said,
"It's not uncommon to have so many sons, I just need my own son to be promising!"
"Come, come, eat, let's eat here today, and talk about the children's learning by the way......"
The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were still watching the excitement from the sidelines, but when they heard that they were going to discuss children's education, they immediately came up.
"Together, together."
"Come on, let's fight a table, I recently found a good method, especially good to deal with the baby!"
"Oh? Tell me about it? β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Shimin in the corner was a little speechless.
A few big men actually shared parenting scriptures there! For this reason, he did not hesitate to be cheeky and rubbed the table with a bowl here at Xu Fenglei!
It is estimated that at this time, in their eyes, the emperor's food is not as attractive as a few parenting scriptures!
"Forget it......"
Li Shimin pursed his lips, turned around and said,
"I eat by myself, and I'll go for a walk after eating!"
