After Li Xuan finished speaking, it was obvious that His Highness Li Er looked stunned.
Obviously, this was the first time he met a master like Li Xuan.
Not to mention those in the East Palace, even those tutors that were invited to Li Chengqian when he was in Prince Qin's Mansion, none of them taught with sincerity and fear, and dedicated themselves to death.
I wish I could instill twenty-four hours of knowledge into Li Chengqian at twelve hours a day.
However, at any time, the master always has a certain degree of authority in front of the parents.
Especially Li Xuan, Li Shimin has long recognized him as a master and hermit.
Therefore, Li Shimin did not refute Li Xuan's words, but just whispered something in a low voice.
"My little master, this teaching method is really unique!"
"Only this boy has limited abilities. He can only teach some students how to read and write, and do some arithmetic."
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "Fortunately, these students are not planning to take the imperial examination to become officials!"
"The young master is joking. The young master is very knowledgeable, and the children he teaches are considered to be talents. If they take the imperial examination, only the subjects will be counted, and they will definitely stand out!"
Li Shimin smiled softly and said, "If you excel in Ming Jing and Jin Shi subjects again, you can become an official directly without submitting papers!"
"Forget it, forget it, these students are just village boys in the mountains. They have never been exposed to officialdom. They are simple-minded and have no need to have ups and downs in their official careers. They can live their lives calmly and steadily, which is the life they envy!"
Li Xuan shook his head slightly again and said: "Besides, the prince should also know that half of the officials in the Tang Dynasty are descendants of aristocratic families!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin's expression couldn't help but darken.
"It's a pity that paper is expensive and books are scarce now. Many children from poor families have no money to study!"
Li Shimin sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, this matter..."
Li Xuan, who was about to say that the matter could be easily solved, quickly shut up.
Nowadays, all the major aristocratic families in the world control the lifeblood of scholars in the world.
Even if he could develop papermaking or movable type printing, he would not dare to announce it.
However, these are all bombs, bombs that can blow up the foundation of all the world's famous families.
Li Xuan could not guarantee whether His Highness Li Er could withstand the family's counterattack.
"Little Master, do you have a clever plan?"
Li Shimin asked expectantly.
"I disappoint the prince. There is really nothing I can do about this matter!"
Li Xuan smiled bitterly.
"I have met my father, I have met my master!"
Just as he was talking, Li Chengqian walked in from the door with a happy face.
In his hand, he also held two books.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Li Xuan was startled, "Is it already noon?"
After hearing this, Li Chengqian's expression changed and he quickly said: "Gao Ming dare not deceive Master, it is indeed already noon!"
This situation immediately stunned Li Shimin. He had no idea what the magic power of that school was that could make Gao Ming respect his young master so much?
However, Li Xuan did not realize the changes between the two of them.
Instead, he stood up and walked out.
"I didn't expect that it's already noon. It's time for me to go cook. The prince and the young master can help themselves!"
After Li Xuan left, Li Chengqian quickly walked to Li Shimin's side.
He took out the book in his hand and said as if offering a treasure: "Father, I have found a treasure!"
"oh?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with interest and asked, "What kind of treasure is it that makes Gao Ming so excited?"
"Father, please look!"
After saying that, Li Chengqian pushed the book in his hand towards Li Shimin and opened it.
"This is?"
At this time, Li Shimin began to take a closer look. The book in Li Chengqian's hand was rough in workmanship and had some black and yellow parts.
"Um?"
After taking a look, Li Shimin couldn't help but start reading.
"It is not a ritual to receive a man and an ox and give him a horse. If you go back and forth but do not come back, it is not a proper etiquette."
"Knowing how to repay kindness, being courteous and refined, and not being able to repay kindness is not what it means to be a grown-up person."
"Be loyal to the king and respect your father. Ask for etiquette and learn from others, but don't ask for instructions."
…
After a long time, Li Shimin came back to his senses, raised his head with excitement, looked at Li Chengqian, and said, "Gao Ming, where did this book come from?"
"Back to my father, these are Li Kun's enlightenment books!"
"Li Kun?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
"Li Kun is the eldest son of Li Dazhu's family in the village. He should be eleven years old this year!"
Li Chengqian replied casually.
"Um."
After listening, Li Shimin nodded slowly, and then continued to ask: "Do you know who wrote this book? It is not only catchy to read, but also simple and easy to understand. This kind of enlightenment book can be compared to "
"The Three-Character Classic" and "The Thousand-Character Classic" are much better!"
"Go back to my father, you seem to be my little master!"
Li Chengqian said: "The children asked Li Kun that this enlightenment book was copied by the young master for their enlightenment."
"So, these little masters are really amazing people!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion again.
"What my father said is absolutely true!"
Li Chengqian said: "I wonder if my father discovered that this enlightenment book is slightly different from ordinary books?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but lowered his head and looked up again.
After a moment, his face was stunned again.
Immediately, he quickly looked at Li Chengqian.
"Gao Ming, what kind of words are the words above these fonts? Also, what are these little gadgets between these sentences?"
"Back to my father, these little gadgets between each sentence are punctuation marks invented by the young master, specially used to break sentences." Li Chengqian replied,
"Sentence break?"
After Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin realized that the sentences he just read were all based on these punctuation marks.
If these punctuation marks were applied to more articles, wouldn't it mean that there would never be more than one sentence translated?
Thinking about it, Li Shimin's face was full of excitement.
"Gao Ming, what does this small line of text above these words mean?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Back to my father, these are Pinyin!"
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian's face turned red with excitement, "Through these pinyin readings, even a person who doesn't know the Chinese characters can still read them as long as he learns these pinyin characters!"
With that said, Li Chengqian turned the book to the first page.
"Father, please look!"
Li Chengqian pointed to the pinyin annotation on the first page and said: "Father, there are twenty-six letters in total, and their pronunciations are 'ah' and 'bo'..."
"These twenty-six letters individually have the same sound, but when combined together, they are the sound of words."
"For example, the word 'De' in 'Get a man and a cow' is composed of 'd' and 'e', and it is pronounced as 'de'..."
With that said, Li Chengqian explained everything to Li Shimin in detail!
