Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 35 The Children Are Here

Li Cha, who returned to Shiqiao Village, will continue to start his life as a rural teacher.

It's worth mentioning that Shi Ruying, the former teacher of Shiqiao Village, came back during Li Cha's absence.At this moment, he was standing awkwardly at the door of Li Cha's house.

While Li Cha was away, Shi Ruying also attended classes for a few days. The children who had been taught by Li Cha could no longer accept Shi Ruying's boring teaching methods.

Not only the students can't accept it, the parents are also unwilling to let him teach. In the eyes of the parents, Shi Ruying's ability is far behind Li Cha.

Shi Ruying came to Li Cha just to see if there was any last chance.

It is really not easy for a successful Juren to find such a decent job in Chang'an City.

All in all, he is still a juren, even if he loses this job, he will not starve to death, but the face of juren makes him unable to accept jobs such as selling letters on the street, writing letters for others and so on.

Shi Ruying knew Li Cha's status in the hearts of the villagers in Shiqiao Village, so she wanted to come to Li Cha to intercede.

Let him continue to stay in Shiqiao Village to teach.But he really couldn't take the scholar's face away and begged Li Cha, so he was wandering awkwardly at the door.

It was no coincidence that Li Cha, who was returning to his own home after eating at Meng Huhu's house, ran into him at the door of his house.

"Brother Shi, you're back." Li Cha said when he saw Shi Ruying hovering in front of his house.

Shi Ruying was taken aback by Li Cha's sudden question, and then said: "Ah, brother Li Xian, you are back, Brother Wei is looking for you."

"Brother Shi, let's go inside and talk." Li Cha opened the door and greeted Shi Ruying to enter.

"No need, Brother Li Xian, brother. Brother Wei is here to say goodbye to Brother Li Xian. Brother Wei has little talent and learning, and is no longer good enough to teach the children. Before I leave, I come to say goodbye to Brother Li Xian."

After saying this, Shi Ruying wanted to slap herself a few times.He obviously came to plead for mercy, but why did the words change as soon as he spoke.This damn face.

"Ah, why are you leaving? Who will teach these children when you leave? I don't have so much time to help you with the lessons." Li Cha said.

"Huh? But the parents of the children think that I am not suitable to stay in the village to teach the children anymore. My brother has little talent and little learning."

Shi Ruying didn't expect that there would be unexpected joy, her mouth was still so hard, but her eyes looked at Li Cha eagerly.

"What? That's because your previous teaching method was wrong. Just go to the school tomorrow and watch me take a class. You're a talented person, and you can learn this quickly. That's it. Don't forget to go to the school tomorrow." Li Cha said.

Shi Ruying, who had a surprise, thanked her and left.It's not because of Li Cha's soft heart, it's because the people he and Li Shimin want are going to Shiqiao Village soon, and Li Cha really doesn't have time to teach the elementary school children in Shiqiao Village how to read. The first batch of teachers.

Sure enough, as Li Cha expected, Shi Ruying is not a bit of a person, and his teaching is a little rigid, and he can be flexible if he doesn't know how to teach the children.

This is not to come back to teach the children after listening to Li Cha's class for a day. Whether it is the meaning of "Three Character Classic" or "Disciple Regulations", Shi Ruying can quote from many sources, and all kinds of allusions from ancient books can be blurted out, which is better than Li Cha's half-hearted too much.

He deserves to be a Juren who has lost his name and still wants to be a Jinshi.After a trial lecture, it also received unanimous praise from the parents and was able to stay in Shiqiao Village to teach children literacy.

On this day, the children that Li Cha wanted finally came. Except for the crown prince Li Chengqian and the young prince, the rest of the adult princes came, including Wu Wang Li Ke, Wei Wang Li Tai, Qi Wang Li You, and Shu Wang Li Yin. Along with them were the second sons and bastards who were not welcome in the families of the court officials and could not inherit the title.

Only Cheng Yaojin sent all three sons here directly. The old fox inquired about something when Li Shimin wanted someone. When he heard that Li Cha was an important person, Cheng Yaojin not only sent all three sons to him. coming.

He also sent Qin Huaiyu here for his sworn brother Qin Qiong.He also greeted Yuchi Gong and asked him to send his eldest son, Yuchi Baolin, along with him.

There are a total of 71 children, all aged between 15 and 20, who have already read books and learned to read.This is what Li Cha requested. He doesn't want to start teaching these people from literacy.

Don't be surprised why there are so many children. For the officials of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor asked them for a few literate sons, and they didn't even think about what the emperor wanted to do.

Their titles are usually inherited by the eldest son.It didn't matter that the emperor wanted someone, some people even sent the second and third sons directly.

No matter what the emperor asks them to do, as long as they can enter the emperor's eyes, it is a good way out for these children.

Then again, even if the emperor arranges these bastards to do some dangerous things, and these children can't come back, it will only be good for their family and not bad.The emperor will compensate them.

Li Cha and Meng Huhu had been notified a long time ago, and today the emperor Li Shimin personally led the team to send Li Cha off.The place is at Meng Hu's house.

Li Cha had discussed this matter with Meng Huo long ago. Originally, Li Cha wanted to ask Meng Huo to help build a school and several dormitories.

Unexpectedly, after Meng Huhu heard about Li Cha's purpose of building the school and dormitory, he waved his hand, no need to build it, just go to my house directly.Anyway, there are only me, the cook, and the groom in such a big family.

The place is so big, so there is no need to waste it. It happens that the old man is lonely by himself. With these children, it will be more lively. You can also arrange some work for me when the time comes.

Don't be surprised, don't say there are only 71 students, even if there are dozens more, Meng Huo's family will definitely be able to pretend.

Although it was just a home in Meng Huo's mouth, Meng Huo's home was built according to the standards of the Duke's Mansion.

Compared with the real Duke's Mansion, the difference is only the plaque.It can be seen that Emperor Li Shimin treated this beloved general well.

Meng Huo offered to contribute his home, but Li Cha refused without thinking.It's not good to disturb others with your own business.

But Meng Huo was very persistent.Meng Huo is indeed the kind of person who is willing to be mediocre and doesn't know how to enjoy himself. His only hobbies are to eat some meat, drink some wine, and go hunting in the mountains when he has nothing to do.

Such a large state mansion has been around for almost ten years, and only three people live in it, which is indeed a bit wasteful.Besides, Li Cha will not continue to use it forever. When potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other high-yielding crops mature, Li Cha will start preparing to build a comprehensive college by himself after raising seedlings again.

Li Cha understands very well that by himself alone, it is true that Datang can stand in the east of the world for a while, but if he wants to keep leading the world, he must train batch after batch of outstanding students to complete it together.

What Li Cha needs is one quick step, one quick step.Put forward some ideas in advance, after all, knowledge is accumulated.There is always a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and this process needs to be completed with these children.

After Li Cha figured it out, he didn't refuse anymore. Together with Meng Huhu, he called a few villagers and spent two days working together to renovate the school and dormitory.

In order to cultivate the relationship between these children and eliminate the barriers between them, the dormitory is completely modeled on the eight-person room on the university campus of later generations.

Li Cha has long thought that when these children come here, they will be directly managed militarily, and the person who manages them is that Meng Huo who has nothing to do all day long.

"Caomin has seen His Majesty." Seeing Li Shimin bringing the children, Meng Huo saluted.

Li Cha stood there without moving.It's really not that Li Cha didn't understand to save face for Li Shimin.Because in Li Cha's heart, he only wanted Li Shimin to be the second elder brother in his heart, not a relationship between a monarch and a minister.

Although he knew that since he promised to be queen, it has been a relationship between monarch and minister.This is not the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, it is the only persistence left in his heart.

"Hahaha, Meng Huhu, Meng Huhu, I heard that you have donated all of your Duke's mansion? You don't want anything I gave you. Get up quickly. Go in and talk."

Li Shimin laughed and joked about this former confidant and beloved general.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Caomin just thinks that this house is too big and too spacious. It would take time and effort to build a new school and dormitory. It is better to come directly to Caomin. Caomin does not have any objection to His Majesty's reward."

Meng Huo replied.

"Okay, what kind of person are you, don't you understand? Get up quickly." Li Shimin said.

"The grass people follow the order."

For Li Shimin's joke, Meng Huo didn't go beyond that.He's a real rule-abiding guy.

Li Shimin was in front, followed by Meng Huo and Li Cha from left to right, followed by a group of children into Meng Huo's mansion.

When he came to the inner courtyard, Li Shimin turned around and first said to the four princes standing at the front: "Li Ke, Li Tai, Li You, Li Yin, come forward to pay your respects to your third uncle.

From now on, you can study the knowledge taught by your third uncle here with peace of mind. Your third uncle's orders are my orders, and you must not slack off. "

"My son obeys the order." The four princes first responded to Li Shimin.

Although they were wondering how they still had such a third uncle, after Li Shimin called them up, they paid respects to Li Cha in a respectful manner.

"The emperor's nephews Li Ke, Li Tai, Li You, and Li Yin pay respects to the three emperor uncles."

"En." Li Cha agreed without saying anything.

Then Li Shimin said to the remaining group of children:
"This is my third younger brother, my King Hua after the Tang Dynasty. From today on, he will be your teacher. What he says is my will, and you must carry it out unconditionally. Do you understand?"

"My minister obeys the order..."

The group of children who came here were all between the ages of fifteen and twenty, and except for a few princes, they were more or less in official positions.

"Okay." Li Shimin responded to the child, and then said to Li Cha beside him: "Third brother, can you say a few words?"

"Well, then I will give you the first class now." Li Cha nodded and said.
