In order to learn practical skills, they sat on small benches and listened carefully.

Some people were literate and wrote down the Master's words on paper.

Some people are illiterate, so they can only read and listen carefully, and remember as much as they can.

Those who don’t know how to do this should wait until after class and ask their classmates or teachers.

After watching here for a long time, the eldest prince came out.

It's time for arithmetic class.

People who need to learn arithmetic come to arithmetic classes.

At this time, there was enlightenment arithmetic and practical arithmetic.

The eldest prince had never studied before, so he followed the second prince directly to Enlightenment Arithmetic School and sat in an empty seat at the back.

This one just enrolled this summer.

Students have learned numbers, and number combinations, and now begin addition and subtraction.

It is also simple at the beginning, adding and subtracting one-digit and two-digit numbers.

It can be easily calculated using the vertical form.

Very friendly for beginners.

The eldest prince used this method to start using vertical calculations. In fact, very large numbers can be easily added up.

The second prince had been exposed to it before, so he was not curious.

After taking an arithmetic class, the eldest prince was still not satisfied and began to continue learning the rest.

In fact, these mathematical knowledge were all copied by Liu Paner from the mathematics books of the nine-year compulsory education.

The eldest prince began to study on his own. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask his younger brother.

The second prince didn't know how, so he came to ask Li Dabao.

When Li Dabao saw that the eldest prince was studying seriously, he naturally also taught it very seriously.

So much so that the eldest prince studied too seriously and stayed up late into the night.

If the chamberlain around him hadn't tried his best to dissuade the eldest prince and let him rest early, he would probably have been able to study all night.

These elementary mathematics are simple and easy to understand, and the eldest prince can learn them by himself.

The further you go, the harder it gets, and sometimes it takes more time.

The second prince saw that his eldest brother had been studying mathematics in the study room, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Brother, these mathematical knowledge cannot be found in books. I will wait until you return to the capital to think about it slowly."

"It's rare to come out, shouldn't you walk around and look around? Only in this way can you understand the people's sentiments. What do you know about the people's sentiments in the house?"

The eldest prince was slightly startled when he heard this. "Thank you for reminding me. If I continue to read, I will indeed waste this good opportunity to leave the palace for a private visit."

"That's right!" The second prince smiled, "Let's take a walk around quickly!"

After the second prince's persuasion, the eldest prince put down the mathematics book in his hand and walked around to take a look.

Wearing a straw hat, walking in the fields.

Li Dabao also took the eldest and second princes to the fields, pulled weeds and stepped barefoot in the rice fields.

The second prince finally pulled out a weed, his body staggered and he almost fell down.

At this moment, a few small fish actually swam by on my feet.

"Oh, there are actually fish in the rice fields!" the second prince exclaimed, and after he stabilized his body, he went to catch fish.

Li Dabao smiled and said, "That's the rice flower fish. I caught some fry and put them inside."

"When the rice is about to mature, the fish will grow to the size of a palm. Whether it is fresh stewed fish, braised in braise, or made into salted fish, it is all delicious."

"It's just that it's too young now. Even if it's caught, it doesn't know how to eat it."

The second prince was a little disappointed, but he saw that the little fish had already swam away, and he couldn't catch up with him at his speed.

"When will the harvest be harvested? Can we still eat the fish before we return to the capital?" the second prince asked, looking longingly at the small fish swimming around in the rice fields.

Li Dabao replied: "It will be fine in a few months. Don't worry, you should be able to eat it."

The eldest prince was always calm. He also saw the small fish, but he didn't think about eating it. He was observing carefully.

"Dabao, these fish eat rice flowers and insects in the fields. The feces they excrete can also fertilize the fields."

Li Dabao was surprised, "The eldest prince is right, putting some fish in the rice fields is indeed beneficial."

The eldest prince smiled and asked: "Did Mrs. Derry come up with this?"

Li Dabao shook his head, "It's not my mother's idea. In fact, there is plenty of water in the south, and most of it is paddy fields."

"When farmers divert water, small fish fry will come to the farmland along the ditch. Some local people found that small fish can eat insects and fertilize the fields, so they will put some fry in the fields more or less."

"It's not necessary to use too much. It's too much. There's not that much food in the rice fields, and there's not much water here. Just a small amount to raise seedlings."

The eldest prince smiled and said: "It's great. You can farm and raise fish. No wonder the products in the south are richer and life is richer."

Li Dabao smiled and explained to the eldest prince again, "Compared to the plains in the north, the south has more mountains and water, and it used to be a wasteland and a poisonous land."

"It is precisely because people came here to develop the zone that the current situation gradually emerged. Further south, there is still a lot of land reclaimed by people who fled before."

"Many of them migrated because of wars, some because of famine, and some migrated for various reasons. The economy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was constantly moving south."

The eldest prince thought of the relocation plan promoted by his father. There were many people in the Central Plains, but there was not much land, and much of the land was seriously annexed.

The common people have little property and if there is a slight disaster, they have to sell their fields to tide over the difficulties.

More and more land is in the hands of a few people, and the propertyless people either work for others or sell themselves into slavery.

Many people cannot have a good life there, let alone development.

But if you move to other places, it will be different.

The north and northwest, and the south are vast and sparsely populated.

There is a large area of ​​land for development in the south. If this is the case, why not move these people there?

After experiments in Northwest City, good results have been achieved.

This time, hundreds of thousands of people were moved to Beiyun City, and the results were gradually seen. More and more land was reclaimed on the northern border.

Not only can it be self-sufficient, but the remaining food can also feed hundreds of thousands of troops at the border.

After working outside for a day, the delicate skin of the eldest prince and the second prince became red from the sun.

The Ninth Princess was worried about the eldest prince and the second prince and couldn't stay at home, so she dragged her family to Jixiang Town.

There are newly built houses in Jixiang Town, and a few units were immediately packed out for Ninth Princess and Gu Shao to live in.

At this time, the Ninth Princess was talking to Liu Pan'er when she saw two red-faced nephews walking in from outside.

"Hey, why don't you wear a straw hat when you go out? Look, your face is tanned. If I return to the capital, I won't be able to explain to the emperor's brother and his wife!"

The eldest prince stepped forward to greet him and said, "Auntie, there is no need for this. Since we are here to understand the people's sentiments, we naturally want to experience the life of farmers."

The second prince also nodded, "Yes, aunt, don't worry. Only through personal experience can you understand the hard work of farmers."
