Under Li Qinzai's influence, both father and son were obsessed with Shangguan's unborn Wan'er.
People always have to have ideals, otherwise they will be no different from salted fish.
Marrying a stunning and awesome woman is definitely one of the ideals of a man.
Before Li Qinzai's wedding, the new school was finally completed.
Li Sujie and other students immediately moved into the dormitory of the new school. Qiao'er also packed her luggage and moved in happily.
Looking at Qiao'er's cheerful back, Li Qinzai suddenly felt the sadness of an old father watching his children grow up with tears in his heart.
He was only in his early twenties, how could he feel like he was in his twilight years?
After the officials from the Ministry of Industry took over the new school, they took the craftsmen back to Chang'an. At the same time, Li Zhi and Empress Wu in Chang'an City also learned about the completion of the new school.
Without the noisy construction noise at the construction site, Li Qinzai's life has returned to calm. The only thing he is not used to is that to teach students every day, he has to walk from another courtyard to the south of Zhuangzi, a walk of about a mile.
It’s more than one mile, and I feel exhausted just thinking about it. I really want to invent a steam engine, lay a track between the other courtyard and the school, and then build a train to transport the only treasure of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jingchu Shanchang, every day...
A steam engine is too difficult. It is basically impossible to build it at today's industrial level.
To be more realistic, it would be more logical to prepare a horse-drawn carriage for transportation.
Qiao'er returned to her usual cheerful and innocent appearance, and Li Qinzai was worried for a while. Running away from home last time sounded the alarm for Li Qinzai.
The child Qiao'er is not as simple as she seems on the surface. People who have been traumatized in childhood must be very sensitive, fragile and full of emotions in their hearts.
The smile and cheerfulness he showed may be just his disguise. His true emotions will only be hidden deep in his heart and will not be easily seen.
Some heart knots cannot be solved by chatting for a few days. Li Qinzai can only slowly melt his heart with his father's care.
…………
After a few days of classes, a guest came to Ganjingzhuang, who was also an old acquaintance.
Li Zhi once again visited incognito, this time to the new school.
The entrance to the village was sealed by the imperial army early in the morning. The farmers' access was not affected, but people from outside the village were not allowed to enter.
As before, Li Zhi only brought more than a hundred followers and imperial troops with him. There were no courtiers to accompany him. He got off the carriage before reaching the village entrance and walked slowly into Zhuangzi under the escort of his followers. His leisurely and lazy appearance was very much like that of a certain family. The wealthy young man went out to the city to take him on an outing.
An hour after burning the incense, Li Zhi appeared outside the new school wearing a black casual robe with a smile, looking at the new school which occupies a large area and is not small in scale.
Li Zhi arrived suddenly, and Li Qinzai, who was in class, hurried out to greet him and salute him.
Before he could bend down, he was lifted up by Li Zhi: "There is no need to be polite Jingchu, I just went out of the palace to relax, and took a look at the new school by the way, tsk! It cost me five thousand guan, Jingchu has to warn the students Cherish it, don’t destroy it.”
"yes."
Then Li Qinzai carefully accompanied Li Zhi and explained his doubts to Li Zhi from time to time.
After a long time, Li Zhi finally smiled with satisfaction and said: "Yes, the Ministry of Industry has tried its best this time. Although it is not perfect, it is enough."
Li Qinzai said hurriedly: "On behalf of the students, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "You're welcome, I want to thank you very much. To be honest, if it weren't for your knowledge, I'm afraid this school wouldn't be built. Jing Chu once said that science and engineering can change the world. Until you When the world is full of peaches and plums, I am looking forward to seeing what the world you change will look like."
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid my efforts alone may not be enough."
Li Zhi pointed to the school and said, "What if we include these students inside?"
Li Qinzai shook his head and said slowly: "It's still not enough."
Li Zhi was stunned: "How many talents are needed for the science and engineering you mentioned?"
"There are many, many, many things, Your Majesty. It takes more than ten years to change the world. It may require the efforts of one, two or even three generations."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Jingchu, what will the changed world look like in your mind?"
Li Qinzai showed a nostalgic look and said: "I believe that after two or three generations, the Tang Dynasty had straight, spacious and flat roads. Each road connected various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty. If there was a war or disaster anywhere, the imperial court would All the troops and horses can arrive in the morning and at night."
"People no longer rely on farming as their only livelihood. There were many workshops in the Tang Dynasty. All kinds of new things were produced in the workshops, ranging from steel lathes to nails and tenons. People went to the workshops to work in their spare time. By earning wages and supplementing the family income, even if there is a disaster, the whole family will not become refugees."
"The court will be more pragmatic than it is today, and your majesty will be more ambitious than it is today, because the world has changed, we need more land and population, and the Tang Dynasty must expand outwards."
"We must not only conquer the neighboring countries around us, but also build super-large sea ships and go out to sea to find new undiscovered land. Then, conquer it, accommodate it, and develop it."
"We will have inexhaustible farmland and food, an invincible army, weapons that will scare the enemy, and an indestructible fortress..."
"Your Majesty, in my eyes, the Tang Dynasty should look like this."
The new world described by Li Qinzai made Li Zhi so excited that his face turned red.
In particular, the proposal of outward expansion scratched Li Zhi's itch. Since he came to the throne, his greatest ambition has been to use troops abroad, expand the country, and surpass his father in both civil and military skills.
"Yes, will there be such a day?" Li Zhi's eyes flashed with excitement.
Li Qinzai nodded affirmatively: "There will definitely be one, but the premise is that Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body. Long live or anything like that is too illusory. I hope that Your Majesty will live a long life and witness with your own eyes that the Tang Dynasty will reach the peak of ancient and modern times under your rule. .”
Li Zhi said excitedly: "Yes, I have always taken care of myself. Haha, it seems that the folk remedy you gave me is good. Cut the ginkgo leaves into shreds and soak them in water to drink. I insist on drinking them every day, and I haven't had any problems for more than half a year. ”
As he spoke, Li Zhi sighed with emotion: "If you think about it in detail, Jingchu has really contributed a lot to our Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the divine arm, bow, horseshoe and pulley set, the important thing is that when my life was in danger in the Tai Chi Palace, it was you. He decisively saved my life and gave me folk remedies..."
"I have this problem that has left countless imperial doctors helpless. After taking your folk remedies, I have not had it again so far. Jingchu is to me just like Kong Ming is to Xuande Gong. He is actually my humerus minister. I have Jingchu's Use it better than a million troops."
Li Qinzai said in shock: "Your Majesty praises too much, I am ashamed..."
Li Zhi laughed loudly, and then whispered: "I heard that you are getting married soon, are you still the one from the Cui family? There is no change, right?"
Li Qinzai's old face darkened.
Is the emperor talking like this?
"Well, if nothing else happens, there shouldn't be any substitutions..."
Li Zhi sighed with some regret: "What a talented person, why did he choose to marry a daughter from a noble family... I originally planned to persuade Lingzu to change the marriage and betrothed you to a princess..."
"It's a pity that all my sisters have been given to me, and they are older than you, but I only have three daughters, one of whom died young, and the other two were born to Concubine Xiao Shu. If I promise you, I will inevitably give you more money. It’s a disaster, tsk, what a pity, what a pity!”
A layer of sweat suddenly broke out on Li Qinzai's back.
Damn it, luckily you still have sense and didn't betroth Concubine Xiao Shu's daughter to me, otherwise my life would have been a mess. Your wife, the wife of the royal family, looks down on me from here, and I have an enemy for no reason.
What's even more fortunate is that the famous Princess Taiping hasn't been born yet, so she doesn't have to be cuckolded yet, and she doesn't have to suffer the consequences.
In comparison, Cui Jie is simply perfect.
Well, just thinking about it makes me happy, and I love her more and more.
After accompanying Li Zhi to inspect the new school, Li Zhi ordered to transfer several doctors from the Imperial College to assist Li Qinzai in presiding over the affairs of the school.
As for the arithmetic teacher, Li Zhi finally decided not to transfer him. He had listened to Li Qinzai's class and knew that what he taught was unheard of in the Tang Dynasty. If the arithmetic teacher from the Imperial College was transferred, it would inevitably lead to a situation where the students learned were very complicated. Not good for students.
The king and his ministers returned to the Li family courtyard, and Li Zhi rushed into the wing room where he had lived before.
After entering the room, Xuan Qiao'er came over in high spirits.
Qiao'er, who was taking a nap, was forced to turn on her phone, half-dragged and half-dragged in front of Li Zhi, still yawning while saluting awkwardly.
Li Zhi was so cute with his cute look that he stretched out his hand and pinched his pink cheeks, smiling and saying: "Qiao'er, I heard that you haven't been good lately."
Qiao'er's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, you also heard that Qiao'er is not good?"
Turning to look at Li Qinzai, Qiao'er said, "Did Dad write a memorial to complain to His Majesty?"
Li Qinzai rolled his eyes: "Your father is not that free, and you are not important enough for me to write a memorial to complain."
Li Zhi laughed happily: "Oh, Jingchu, your son is so interesting. I really want to adopt him as my adopted son."
Li Qinzai was startled, and murmured a few times with his lips, but said nothing.
Li Qinzai really didn't want Qiao'er to be adopted as his adopted son by Li Zhi. Once he became the emperor's adopted son, Qiao'er would never have peace in his life. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, Qiao'er would be involved in endless battles.
Fortunately, Li Zhi just mentioned it casually and didn't seem to take it seriously, so Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qiao'er, study more and learn all your father's knowledge. When you grow up, you don't have to take the imperial examination. I will make you a high official directly."
Li Zhi said and looked at Li Qinzai again and said, "I heard that among all the students in the school, Qiao'er is the most talented child?"
Li Qinzai coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is better not to praise him in front of the child. I am afraid that he will get carried away and get carried away..."
Li Zhi hummed and sighed: "I have seen Jingchu's talent time and time again. Even the son he taught is so outstanding. I can't accept it."
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is ridiculous. I have few talents and limited knowledge. The students in the school are uneven. I have been taught many things over and over again, but I still can't master them. I feel ashamed to trust your Majesty."
Li Zhi shook his head: "Those princes and powerful children, I know what kind of virtue they are. Jing Chu can treat them obediently and bring peace to Chang'an City. This is already a great achievement."
Li Qinzai's cheeks twitched.
How much he dislikes those little bastards, he has used "returning Chang'an City to a bright future".
I am the one who really brings peace to Chang'an City.
