"Your Majesty, studying is an extremely difficult thing for us and the rest of us! However, since the smoke is rising from our ancestral graves, we can have a good proprietor like you, and we have accumulated a lot of money.
With eight lifetimes of blessings, we will definitely let those little bastards follow the masters in the school and learn to read and write!"
"Exactly. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely live up to your hard work!"
"If that little brat dares to cause trouble, I'll break his legs..."
Each and every farmer's eyes were red and their teeth were gnashing.
Seeing this, Li Xuan stroked his forehead helplessly.
"It's a son's fault if he doesn't teach his father! You only care about beating the children, but think about it, are you setting an example for those little monkeys?"
"Your Majesty..."
At this time, all the bankers couldn't help but stare blankly, full of confusion. Doesn't the king want them to take good care of these evil obstacles after so much painstaking efforts?
"You are so strong and not stupid, why can't you go to school to read and learn?" Li Xuan said.
"Ah? Your Majesty, do you want me to study and read in the school with those brats?"
All the bankers were shocked.
"Why, do you think the teachers in the school are not worthy of teaching you?" Li Xuan's face darkened.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I was afraid that those brats would learn faster than me and we would not be able to afford to disgrace this person!"
A banker's face was flushed, but his face and skin had been tanned purple and black, and there was nothing visible at all.
"Tsk?"
Li Xuan sneered directly, "You guys are not as rich as the rich people in the city, don't have the power of the officials, and don't have the dignity of the nobles, so why are you so embarrassed?"
"Also, wouldn't you be ashamed if you wait until the little ones in your family have learned how to read, write, and do numbers and arithmetic? If you still need to ask them for help when you encounter problems?"
"this……"
Suddenly, all the dealers looked embarrassed.
"Since you don't say anything, I will assume that you agree!"
Li Xuan said directly: "Everyone will get a set of books for themselves, and then give a set to each of the little ones at home. In such a cold winter, as long as you learn the letters of enlightenment, no matter in school
, or at home, or in a glass greenhouse, you can hold books in your hands and read and read according to the alphabet of enlightenment!"
"After this winter, you should have learned a few hundred words, or some math and arithmetic!"
Li Xuan had already mentioned this, and none of the bankers dared to shirk it anymore.
"We will obey the king's orders!"
"Very good!"
Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, he ordered the housekeeper Li Chang and several personal guards to start distributing the books.
Every banker and personal guard who received the book was filled with joy, as if they were treating a family heirloom. They carefully held all the books in their arms and walked home.
However, after Li Xuan's troubles, the thousand books originally planned by Li Chang could not be used up.
Now, there are still more than 300 people without books.
Therefore, he had no choice but to report it to Li Xuan, and immediately stepped up printing books again.
Despite this, early the next morning, the more than twenty classrooms in Lijiazhuang School were crowded with students attending classes.
In response to this, Li Chang had no choice but to quickly ask Li Xuan for instructions to select some masters from among the officials in the Jin Palace to give lectures to the personal guards and farmers.
…
"How can this be?"
In Liangyi Hall, after listening to Li Chengqian's report, Li Shimin sat up in surprise.
"My child will never dare to trick Aye on this matter!"
Li Chengqian quickly replied.
"Gao Ming, have you ever calculated carefully? Enlightenment books, mathematics and arithmetic books, plus alphabet enlightenment books, even if it is just these three books, according to you, there are three thousand books!
How can a small bookmaking workshop produce such a large number of books? Is it possible that Xuanba really has the ability to create things out of thin air?"
Li Shimin murmured to himself.
At the same time, he stood up, walked to the eucalyptus table, and paced back and forth in the hall.
"Go back to Aye, I've already settled this matter!"
Li Chengqian said slowly: "Master started to open a book-making workshop a month ago. Today, three thousand books have been produced in the book-making workshop, so we only need to produce a hundred books a day!"
"One hundred copies..."
After listening, Li Shimin said slowly: "If a hundred people copy books in the bookmaking workshop, they can copy out a hundred books in one day."
"Aye, this is absolutely impossible. Not to mention that there are not even a hundred literate people in Lijiazhuang. Even in the book-making workshop, there is no room for a hundred people!"
Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly, "Moreover, Ha'er and Chongyi have also read the books made by Master, and every one of them is exactly the same. Even the handwriting in the books is bent down a little, and they are exactly the same.
"
"In this case, this matter is strange!"
Li Shimin's face was full of surprise.
Then, he slowly waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't have to pay attention to this matter. Since Xuanba doesn't want to tell you, this is the matter. It is a big trouble and you are not allowed to participate!"
"Yes, Aye!"
Li Chengqian quickly bowed his hands and bowed, then slowly exited.
After Li Chengqian lost sight of Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian's little face suddenly collapsed.
His face was full of sorrow.
Since these things are quite troublesome, why are you forcing me to report them to you?
However, after entering the East Palace, that little face returned to calmness.
…
A few days later.
The sky is slightly clearer and the sun is shining brightly, adding a touch of warmth to Chang'an in winter.
Li Shimin took Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji in a spacious carriage and slowly arrived at Lijiazhuang.
As soon as I entered the village, I was shocked by the lively scene inside the village.
Looking towards the school next to the square, I saw it was completely dark, with at least forty people crowded in every room.
Among them, there are soldiers in armor, villagers in simple clothes, and servants of the royal family in green clothes...
On the other side, there are rows of neat glass greenhouses.
Although they had already seen it last year, the number of glass greenhouses in Lijiazhuang has doubled this year, which still made Li Shimin and others' eyes flash with surprise.
Between these glass greenhouses, there are some farmers pushing small carts to transport water and charcoal into the greenhouses.
In addition, in the other corner of Lijiazhuang, people would come in and out of those workshops from time to time.
Each one is wearing a thick cotton coat and gloves. Just looking at them makes you feel warm.
Moreover, everyone has a smile on their face, without any sadness at all.
"I didn't expect that Jinwang Manor would be such a lively scene!"
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but admire subconsciously.
"I wonder what the scene is like in your village now?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but turn his head and look at Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.
"this……"
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were all startled and looked embarrassed.
They haven't been to the village in their home for several months.
"I've seen Aye!"
"I have met His Majesty!"
At this time, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi came out to greet them after hearing the report.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
