Of course, this news could not be hidden from Tang Ping.
Everyone was locked in the yard just now, and Tang Ping had nothing to do, so he took out the small whiteboard he usually hung in the store to teach these children how to read.
In fact, not only are these children studying seriously, but fools like Wang Tieniu who only know how to work are also secretly studying.
Of course, Tang Ping was not a teacher major, and he didn't know how to teach systematically, so he just started teaching Pinyin like he did when he was a child.
"Little brother Tang, I was offended just now. Everyone in Shanghe Village can go back!" There were many people in the courtyard. Li Shimin and others were waiting outside, but Li Jing came in first to negotiate.
"That's okay!" Tang Ping also knew that the plowing matter had probably come to an end, so he said to the villagers in Shanghe Village: "Everyone, please go back today and keep your spirits up. Tomorrow we will prepare for spring plowing and planting spring wheat! As for the children, just Let’s come over tomorrow morning and learn how to read!”
"Yes, proprietor!" The current villagers of Shanghe Village obeyed Tang Ping's true words.
Soon everyone in the yard was gone.
Li Shimin and the other three left the guards outside and walked in.
"Hmph!" Xiao Luo snorted softly when she saw Li Shimin and the other three.
Last time, it was the leader, General Li, who took away his son's globe and said he would exchange it for something the next day, but nothing happened.
I didn't expect that such a person could blackmail people.
She didn't know that Lu Yi beside her was actually given to Tang Ping by Li Shimin.
"Brother Tang, you have been wronged!"
"General Li is over-worrying. In fact, I didn't think carefully about what happened today!" Tang Ping later thought about the impact of a new farm tool on this era, and felt that it was a bit too rash for him to use it rashly.
"No, no, no!" Li Shimin bowed and said sincerely: "It is true that we have misunderstood. Such things that benefit the people are not for us, the people of the Tang Dynasty. They will just learn it if they are allowed to learn it!"
"But are these divine objects brought by my little brother from...?" Li Shimin said and pointed to the sky.
"Well, yes!" There were too many things that could not be explained, and Tang Ping could only act as a magic stick.
Fortunately, Li Shimin had known for a long time that Tang Ping's convenience store was moved here by the landlord. A few days ago, the landlord also added a room called a "garage" outside his yard.
Therefore, Li Shimin would not have any doubts at all. Anyway, this is his nephew, and he will come to help Li Tang next time.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the case of Princess Pingyang had never been found out, he would have recognized his nephew long ago.
"I heard that my little brother likes to collect porcelain. These two pieces were given to me by His Majesty because of today's new plow."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian and Li Yuanji each took a step forward holding a piece of porcelain.
If it were before modern times, Tang Ping would definitely be very happy. Now he doesn't know that his Xing kiln white porcelain bowl can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan. He thinks that these things are worthless, so he has no interest in them.
After taking it, I asked Xiao Luo and Lu Yi to place it casually in the store.
"Little brother Tang was teaching those children how to read just now?" Li Shimin's sharp eyes saw the whiteboard next to Tang Ping.
"Yes!"
"What are these crooked things?" Li Shimin asked curiously, pointing to the pinyin.
"Pinyin!" Tang Ping knew that people here definitely didn't know what Pinyin was, so he patiently explained what he knew.
As a result, Li Shimin, who had calmed down because of the new plow, was no longer calm.
If there were internal and external troubles in the Tang Dynasty, the internal troubles must be the aristocratic families.
The relationship between the five surnames and the seven looks is intertwined, and their influence is deeply rooted in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. These aristocratic families have begun to threaten the imperial power.
The most important point among them is its monopoly on talents.
Everyone knows that it is difficult to study, and it is even more difficult for the poor to study. Eighty percent of the scholars in the world now come from these aristocratic families.
The root of the talent monopoly is the monopoly of education.
It is very difficult to cultivate a scholar from a poor family.
Just being literate has blocked countless people from studying.
And this literacy method called Pinyin undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of literacy.
According to Tang Ping, there are actually only 3,000 commonly used words. As long as they learn the spelling rules and compile a dictionary for 3,000 words with pinyin annotations, even children can quickly master 3,000 commonly used words.
That way, even if I can't write Jingxiu articles, at least I won't have any obstacles to reading and writing in my daily life.
This is the power of education!
At this time, Li Shimin was extremely grateful to the Li family ancestor who sent Tang Ping here.
"Little brother Tang...this is another great achievement of yours. I wonder what reward you want? How about I call...and ask your majesty to give you some pieces of porcelain."
"No!" Tang Ping quickly waved his hand. The white porcelain just now could hold soup, but the green jar could only hold vegetable oil.
Li Shimin didn't expect Tang Ping to react so strongly. To be honest, how could anyone else be picky about the emperor's rewards?
Only Tang Ping is treated like this!
"So what does little brother Tang want? I'll help you ask the emperor for it!"
"Gold!" This was the result of Tang Ping's careful consideration. I really don't know what is valuable and what is not valuable in the things brought back by the Tang Dynasty.
After much deliberation, I guess it’s gold. That thing costs hundreds of dollars per gram. Even if the gold from the Tang Dynasty is not 24K pure gold, it is definitely worth more than porcelain!
"Gold?" Li Shimin obviously did not expect this answer, but for him, it is not too much to ask for gold when his nephew is asking for a reward!
"Okay, I'll report it to His Majesty when I get back!"
"Then thank you General Li!" Tang Ping also breathed a sigh of relief. This way he could be regarded as having some financial resources.
Even relying on the emperor's rewards seems not stable enough. I still have to find a way to have a more stable income.
"Little brother Tang, do you like goldware? I still have a few nice gadgets in my house. I'll ask someone to deliver them tomorrow!" Li Jiancheng said.
What Li Shimin gave was a reward, and what he gave was pocket money from his uncle to his nephew!
"Yes, yes, yes, I also have some in my house. They will be delivered tomorrow!" Li Yuanji said not to be outdone.
Then he looked up at the sky: "Little brother, it's getting late, don't you want to eat?"
The hot pot meal last time, although I felt a little miserable the next day after returning home, it was really enjoyable when I ate it.
He had been thinking about it for a long time and asked the palace cook to study it for a long time, but he just couldn't get the taste out of it.
"Hey, it's getting late, those guys can eat here!"
Now the small courtyard outside the Tangping store is very spacious. With a few more people, there is no need to crowd into the convenience store like before.
"Then why not eat hot pot!" Li Yuanji said with a smile.
