Chapter 346 Mother’s Grace to the World

Today, in addition to the concubines in the harem and the Taifu, several lecturers also came to listen to Song Xia's lectures. Among them were His Majesty's people and people from other forces.

Song Xia stood on the podium with a calm expression. From the moment she said she wanted to give a lecture, she went to the study room and rearranged a classroom according to her requirements. According to her habits, she painted the blackboard with black paint and set up the podium.

The six seats below are arranged in pairs, and they are not sorted by age like this era. Instead, the six of them draw lots to decide. From now on, she will also adjust the seats regularly. Whoever sits with whom will be determined by fate.

Concubine Zhuang looked at the second prince she had given birth to and the eldest prince she hated the most sitting together, her eyebrows almost twisted into knots. This room was so big, and it wasn't like there was no room. Why did they have to sit next to each other? Still sharing a desk?

Concubine Xian and Concubine Li were equally dissatisfied. Concubine Xian disliked Concubine Li for being tacky, saying that a son is like his mother, and the third prince also preferred those gorgeous clothes, which really hurt her eyes. Concubine Li felt that the fourth prince was just like Concubine Xian at a young age. She likes to show off, so don't lead her into trouble.

As for Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen, they were happy to see the result. They did not expect that the princes would sit next to each other, but this was the first time they had seen the prince's nervous and curious look!

Song Xia looked down with a smile. It was fate. This time, the tables were drawn in order of age. She didn't know what kind of sparks would be created.

However, although His Majesty is arbitrary and plays tricks on power, these princes are among the best in the world in terms of appearance and demeanor. They are eye-catching just to look at. Such outstanding cubs must be allowed to follow the right path and not be sacrificed for power. under struggle.

Everyone stood up and saluted with different thoughts: "See the Queen."

"Everyone, please sit down. When you enter this classroom from now on, you won't need to talk about formal etiquette." Her voice was gentle and calm, which unconsciously made people relax. "My knowledge is not as good as that of several lecturers, let alone I am not as good as the Tai Tu, so I can only teach the children some interesting and interesting knowledge. What I will talk about in the future will all be accidentally obtained from the original books in the past. Please discuss the reasons together."

Concubine Zhuang curled her lips, thinking that since she knew she didn't have much knowledge, she still came to teach, wouldn't she teach the emperor a bad lesson? If the Queen deliberately lets the Emperor lose his temper with toys, she must report it to His Majesty.

"Today's first lesson is for us all to do a small experiment together, how to use the sun to ignite spontaneously without fire."

The tutor and the lecturers looked at each other, what is this? Although they have heard that wildfires will burn in certain forest areas when the weather is hot, but can they cause it themselves?

Song Xia took out a magnifying glass: "This is the glass lens I asked the palace servants from Liulichang to make before I entered the palace. Using this lens, I can focus the sun, generate heat, and ignite the paper."

Concubine Shu asked curiously: "What do you mean, your Majesty, you can light a fire with just this?"

"Yes."

Everyone is becoming more and more suspicious, is this true or false? No matter how you think about it, it seems impossible.

"I know that everyone doesn't believe it. Why don't we go out and do an experiment now and witness the miracle happen together."

Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li were the first to stand up. They wanted to see how the Empress would reconcile her words. If they couldn't succeed later, they would definitely have to suspend classes.

"You can check these lenses and paper to see if I have done anything on them."

Being guessed, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li did not refuse or feel embarrassed. However, after checking, they found nothing, so they returned it, and their disbelief in their hearts became even stronger.

"Xiao Huanzi, you go."

"Cha." Song Xia had trained Xiao Huanzi yesterday, so after he put the paper on the ground, he immediately took a few steps back, then found a suitable angle, let the sun shine on the magnifying glass, and then focused on paper.

"Your Majesty, is this all right?" Even the Taifu was doubtful at this moment. He didn't even touch the paper and put it on the ground so far away. Could it really catch fire?

"That's all. Just wait with me."

Time passed by, Xiao Huanzi was sweating profusely under the sun, and everyone's patience was gradually running out, especially the two youngest princes. If their mother and concubine hadn't signaled to them, they would have shouted. Go into the house.

"There is smoke, Queen Mother, there is smoke!" The eldest prince suddenly said, causing everyone's attention to return to the paper. They looked intently and saw that white smoke was rising from the paper that had not been moved much.

After a small puff of smoke, right under their noses, the paper actually burned.

Everyone opened their mouths wide, as if they had seen something very magical.

Concubine Xian murmured: "It's really on fire."

The Taifu's eyes were burning: "Does the Queen know the principle behind this?"

Song Xia answered calmly: "When I was young, I occasionally read a story book. The content in it was that sunlight has energy. This is the focusing principle. In addition to glass lenses, ice cubes can also be used. It was the man who accidentally lost his fire folder in the winter field and started a fire with ice cubes by chance, and was able to save his life."

The Taifu nodded with emotion: "I see, that person's life should not be cut off."

Concubine Zhuang chuckled: "Even if it's somewhat magical, it's just a folk trick. Queen, are you not afraid of making people laugh if you let the princes learn this?"

Song Xia glanced at her lightly: "In Concubine Zhuang's heart, are the Four Books and Five Classics the only great way? Grain cultivation, observing the astronomical phenomena and terrain, building ships and bridges, etc., are equally important in my eyes and are also the foundation of the country."

"But what does what I taught you just now have to do with this?"

"Why is there no connection? As a prince, he is a role model for the people in the world. Do you want them to only know the Four Books and Five Classics and not common sense of life? There are many wonderful uses of the sun, and this is just one of them. It is this kind of thing, when marching and fighting Is it possible to use it? When civilizing the barbarian Huns, can they be convinced? If this knowledge is learned by swindlers to pretend to be gods and ghosts, can it be dismantled and used to educate the people and consolidate the political power? "

Song Xia snorted softly: "I hope that the princes can learn something truly useful, not just test content that caters to the public."

Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen almost laughed out loud. This made it clear that Concubine Zhuang had only asked the second prince to learn the classics that Your Majesty liked. And this was true. After all, there is no harm in learning more, and knowledge must have its merits. Useful place.

Song Xia looked at the second prince's expression of shame and anger, and his voice became softer: "Of course you have to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and you have to learn them thoroughly, but I also hope that you can also gain some other insights and explore more. What wonderful things are there in this world? When you grow up and become the pillars of the country, you will know how to make use of those knowledgeable people, instead of being fooled and losing your own judgment."

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Zhuang no longer had a chance to argue, but she still doubted her intentions in her heart.
