Li Ke felt that if he used compulsory orders or compulsory propaganda, more people might be sent in, unlike now, where there are only so many encouraging words, but in a short period of time he can only encourage them. way.
Datang's finances couldn't keep up.
Currently, the food and accommodation for the children in these schools are donated by local businessmen, but it is impossible to always ask for donations. In the future, the Ministry of Education of Datang will definitely supplement this part of the funds.
Although the cost of education in the Tang Dynasty was actually much lower than that of later generations, it still required a process.
Take your time. When these children grow up and see that these children can succeed, more people will send their children in.
However, Li Ke felt that the "welfare homes" he had established in various places could speed up the progress.
These welfare homes were just what Li Ke called them. They were places used by Yuelai Trading Company to collect orphans and beggars from all over the Tang Dynasty for education. Many of the key members of Yuelai Trading Company were made up of these orphans and beggars.
Now let’s speed up the education in these welfare institutions. The Tang Dynasty can actually be said to have entered the era of the first industrial revolution, but in fact the talents have no way to keep up.
So even if we start a revolution, it won’t be fast enough. Let’s do it step by step.
Of course, this speed is naturally much faster than the speed of natural technological development in history.
After entering the Li Zheng Hall, Li Ke took back his thoughts. Before he could enter, he heard the sound of Jin Yang playing with Xincheng and the others.
"Jinyang, Xincheng." After Li Ke came over, he said loudly.
"Third brother, third brother." Several delicate figures immediately ran over here.
Soon several figures ran over.
It was Jinyang who was playing with Xincheng, and I didn't see the others.
"Where are your sisters Chengyang and Gaoyang?" Li Ke asked curiously.
"Humph, they won't let me play! I won't play with them yet." Jin Yang became a little angry when he talked about this and pouted.
Li Ke was a little speechless. Chengyang Gaoyang and the others are eight years old this year, and Jinyang is five years old. Little girls at this age really don't want to play with little kids who are five or six years old. Li Ke can understand.
However, Jin Yang is having a good time with Xincheng, who is two or three years old. Fortunately, they have a maid to accompany them, so it is not boring.
"Then they make you angry, do you want to give them a punishment?" Li Ke rolled his eyes and said.
"Think! Third brother, what do you think you can do?!" Jinyang's eyes were shining.
"Um, how about you study hard and inherit the throne and become the empress in the future?! Then you can order your sister Gao Yang, Chengyang and the others to work!" Li Ke rolled his eyes and said quickly.
"Tch... Third brother, I'm young, and I'm not stupid. I'm also educated, okay? How can a woman inherit the throne?" Jin Yang glanced at Li Ke with contempt.
"Why not? Third brother said there is. As long as you study hard and have outstanding abilities, you will be the first empress of the Tang Dynasty in the future! You will be the smartest and most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Ke continued.
It wasn't that he was fooling Jinyang, but he felt that Changle was not very interested in the empress recently, and Li Ke felt that he couldn't put his eggs in one basket.
The little guy Jinyang is also very smart. Whether it is historical evaluation or Li Ke's own feelings, as long as he is well cultivated, he is a talent!
"Really?!" Hearing that he was the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, Jin Yang looked at Li Ke and asked with bright eyes.
"Of course!" Li Ke nodded seriously.
"Then I will study hard! Jinyang's studies are very good!" Jinyang nodded seriously.
"Third brother, third brother, you are here." Before Li Ke could speak, a new voice came out. It was Li Zhi, who was already ten years old, and ran over when he heard Li Ke's voice.
Seeing Li Zhi, Jinyang curled his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to his ninth brother.
"How's it going? Have you finished your summer homework?" Li Ke asked when he saw Li Zhi coming.
Li Zhi, who had just rushed over excitedly to ask his third brother if he could take him out to play, immediately stood there blankly.
"Third brother, why are you so cold? It's still early for me to leave school." Li Zhi's whole body shrank before his eyes.
"Brother Jiu, you are just lazy." Jin Yang stuck out his tongue at him.
"Have you finished writing?" Li Zhi glared at Jinyang.
"I've finished writing. I finished it on the eighth day of my vacation. Only after I finish writing can I have fun!" Jin Yang snorted proudly.
"I want to have fun first and then write when there are eight days left." Li Zhi retorted.
"I don't believe it, you are just stupid and can't write." Jin Yang said proudly.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Li Ke felt a little nervous, "I'll give you a math problem and see who of you can figure it out first. If you get the wrong answer, I'll have someone give you some summer homework. ."
Li Ke stopped the two people directly and said quickly.
"Okay!" Jinyang said seriously, "But third brother, you can't take the test on something I haven't learned before."
"You must have learned."
"Third brother... don't want it." Li Zhi said weakly.
"I'm here to teach you your lessons, so I don't want anything else." Li Ke glared at him.
"Then...okay." Li Zhi curled his lips and said helplessly.
"Listen, two people need to drink two buckets of water in two days, and eight people need to drink several buckets of water in eight days." Li Ke asked directly.
As soon as Li Ke asked the question, the two little guys immediately started counting. Jinyang was still counting his fingers, but Li Zhi had already finished the calculation. He smiled proudly and said: "Third brother, I'm done."
"Okay, tell me." Li Ke looked at him and asked.
"It's 64 barrels of water!" Li Zhi said loudly.
"You made a miscalculation!" Before Li Ke could speak, Jin Yang next to him said directly.
"I don't believe it, how much do you say?" Li Zhi asked, glaring at her.
"32 barrels!" Jinyang raised his head proudly.
"Hahaha, are you stupid? 2 people have 2 water connections in 2 days. One person has 1 bucket of water per day. 8 people have 8 days. 8 multiplied by 8 is 64. How did you calculate 32?" Li Zhi laughed. said.
"Who told you that one person can use one bucket of water in one day? Brother Jiu, no wonder you were so bad at math in the final exam. Two people have two buckets of water in two days. One person can use one bucket of water in two days! One person can use half a bucket in one day! Eight Personally, it’s 32 barrels in eight days! I’m making it difficult for you to review the question carefully!” Jin Yang looked at Li Zhi with contempt.
Li Ke was instantly happy, "Okay, little Jinyang has learned well."
"Okay, Jinyang, you study hard. You will definitely be able to do what Third Brother promised you in the future. Li Zhi, I will send you some summer homework in a moment. If you can't finish it, just wait for a beating." Now you go back to me and do your homework. If you can't finish your summer homework, I tell you not to go out or leave the palace. No, you don't want to leave the Li Zheng Palace!" Li Ke looked at Li Zhi and said fiercely.
Li Zhi was dumbfounded: "...I know."
Li Zhi's whole body wilted, and he turned around and walked towards his palace.
