"Where's the front?"
"Going back to the prime minister, ahead is Shanghe Village!"
"Shanghe Village? Why does this name sound familiar?"
"The MSG that has been circulating in Chang'an City all this time was sold to Bazhenlou by the proprietor of Shanghe Village."
"No wonder I said I heard it somewhere..." Fang Xuanling stroked his beard. Today he was out to inspect the response to the locust plague in various places around Chang'an.
But the results were not very good. As for the ducklings distributed by the imperial court, few people took good care of them.
This also cast a layer of gloom in his mind. After all, he could not tell the people that a locust plague would come, so the people did not care and he had no better solution for the time being.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look!"
He had heard about MSG, but he had never eaten it at Bazhenlou. In his opinion, this kind of thing did no good except encourage the extravagance in Chang'an City.
So he naturally didn't have a good impression of the proprietor of Shanghe Village who had never met him before.
Shanghe Village is bounded by the river. After crossing the bridge, you will arrive at Shanghe Village.
The first thing that catches the eye is the row of light poles in Shanghe Village.
Because the Tang Dynasty implemented a curfew, and Shanghe Village was outside Chang'an, no one came here at night, so the light stayed on for a month at night, but no one outside the village noticed it.
Naturally, the people in Shanghe Village will not show off everywhere. They are really afraid that people from other villages will find out and steal their night lights at night.
Fang Xuanling was helped out of the car by a servant. Everywhere he saw were villagers working in the fields.
But what is different from other places is that the villagers here are actually wearing green clothes.
This was actually what Tang Ping bought when he went back last time. He noticed that many villagers in Shanghe Village were wearing tatters, so he simply went to the labor protection supply store and bought a batch of work clothes.
These clothes are not only wear-resistant and warm, but also more convenient than the Tang clothes in the past, so the villagers in Shanghe Village began to wear this kind of work clothes when working.
But in Fang Xuanling's opinion, it was extraordinary. As for why? Well, in fact, you can understand it if you imagine the scene. It's like going to Africa and suddenly finding a black guy in the field wearing a suit.
As for what they do in the fields, it's not much different from what they do in other villages.
"Hello, sir!"
A kid who was digging bugs in the field saw Fang Xuanling and saw that his service was unusual, so he came up and saluted him and said hello.
"Hello to you too!" Fang Xuanling stopped the kid: "Why do you all wear the same clothes in Shanghe Village?"
"Those are called work clothes!" Wazi looked at the elders in the village with envy. Now only those who work in the fields over the age of sixteen can receive such work clothes, and he is still several years behind.
He had worn Aye's clothes at home. They were light and warm, and they had many pockets for carrying things. Who among the children in the village doesn't look forward to getting a set of work clothes when they grow up soon?
"Work clothes? Why are you dressed like this?"
When we were chatting about this issue after class, Tang Ping told Li Bai that this kid had also heard about it, so he explained it to Fang Xuanling.
"We, the proprietors, have said that uniform dressing can enhance everyone's sense of identity and responsibility for Shanghe Village, as well as equality among villagers, thereby improving everyone's collaboration ability and cohesion."
"Also, wearing work clothes means you are at work. Try to do work-related things during working hours. Work clothes can regulate everyone's words and deeds and enhance everyone's sense of self-discipline."
At the end, he added: "Sir, do you know what self-discipline is?"
Fang Xuanling was stunned. What was this talking about?
Are words like identity, responsibility, collaboration ability, and cohesion something that a country boy of twelve or thirteen years old like you should know?
If he hadn't been online, Fang Xuanling would have thought that this was the legendary max-level child who secretly evolved without bringing his own Fang Yiai.
This is actually what Tang Ping usually teaches Li Bai and everyone. He is not a teacher major, so in addition to reading and arithmetic, he will tell these children the principles he knows to increase their horizons and structure.
"Goudan, come on, there are a lot of earthworms here!"
"Here we come!" Hearing his companion's call, Goudan bowed slightly to Fang Xuanling, then ran over quickly with his little basket in hand.
A country urchin in this village was like this, which made Fang Xuanling even more curious about Shanghe Village, especially the proprietor he mentioned.
He now wants to see what kind of proprietor can teach such a child.
Tang Ping's house is the easiest to find, because his yard is the best and largest, and the street lights are connected all the way to his house, making it difficult not to see it.
He led his attendants to the outside of Tangping Courtyard. Before he could knock on the door, he heard a child's voice coming from inside: "Second Master, you have finished memorizing today's books. Can you go out to play?"
"Wait!" Then a young man's voice came: "I will give you a question to test you!"
Fang Xuanling, who originally wanted to knock on the door, paused for a moment, then heard the young man's voice inside and continued: "Chickens and rabbits are locked in a cage. From above, you can see thirty-five heads. From below, I can see ninety-four legs. Can you tell me how many rabbits and chickens there are?"
This question... After hearing this, Fang Xuanling began to think silently in his mind about how to calculate it. However, as soon as he started calculating, the child's voice came out.
"Twelve rabbits, twenty-three chickens!"
So fast? Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment that 12+23 was exactly 35, and the rabbit had 48 legs and the chicken had 46 legs, which added up to 94 legs.
"How do you calculate it?" The young man's voice inside asked Fang Xuanling's doubts.
"There are thirty-five heads. If you want them all to lift two feet, then there will be seventy legs missing. At this time, the remaining twenty-four legs will all belong to rabbits."
"Then each rabbit has two feet left on the ground, so there are twelve rabbits in total. If you know the number of rabbits, you will know the number of chickens. Second Master, am I correct?"
Tang Ping in the yard didn't expect Li Bai to use such an algorithm. He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know whether the equations he taught him were useful or not.
But he was able to find a new way to calculate it, and it was correct. Of course, he couldn't break his promise.
He could only wave his hands helplessly: "Let's go play!"
Li Bai said happily, opened the courtyard door with his bicycle, and saw Fang Xuanling and others standing at the door.
