Unknowingly, midsummer entered the seventh year of Zhenguan.

This year, Datang was still not peaceful.

Although there has been no movement from foreign enemies for the time being, rebellions will still occur. For example, Sichuan has never completely surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Yazhou rebelled before, and later Jiazhou and Lingzhou followed suit.

, thanks to the small power, Zhang Shigui and Niu Jinda led their troops to quickly quell the rebellion.

And in addition to rebellions, there are also natural disasters.

In mid-June, Hucan broke its embankment at the border of Yangzhou. The flood flooded countless crops and houses. The miserable Li Shimin had no choice but to send Sun Fujia to rescue the disaster. After hearing the news, he had a good time.

At that time, Li Yuanjia was really not surprised at all. After all, if there were no droughts, floods, etc. these days, would it still be a feudal society?

Anyway, Yangzhou is far away from Luzhou and has nothing to do with Mao.

But after waiting for two months, Li Yuanjia finally received the emperor's reward.

In recognition of his achievements in creating the Quyuan Li, Li Shimin gave his younger brother quite a generous reward, not counting the treasures such as Mingyu jewelry, and the money and silk alone included 500 copper coins and 500 bolts of silk! And the emperor

I also knew that Li Yuanjia was good at calligraphy and painting, so I specially gave him a set of his cherished Four Treasures of the Study. It is said that the square inkstone alone is worth hundreds of dollars!

As for titles, Li Yuanjia is already a prince and cannot be rewarded. Therefore, apart from a large number of praises written in the imperial edict, Lao Li has nothing else to express. If the prince wants to be promoted further, then the only thing left is

The position of emperor!

In short, Li Yuanjia's investment was returned a hundred times.

Therefore, after receiving the reward from Chang'an, Li Yuanjia happily ordered Han Shan early the next morning: "In the future, every time Chen Mu improves the Quyuan plow, send two to Chang'an!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

While he quickly lowered his head in response, Han Shan also secretly rolled his eyes.

It's so pitiful that the king will be happy.

Isn't it just five hundred copper coins, five hundred bolts of silk, some valuable jewelry and a set of four treasures of the study? For ordinary people, it may be a huge amount of wealth, but for someone with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, the treasure in the treasury

For a king who also has tens of thousands of copper coins and countless silk cloths, can these small coins really attract his attention?

But before Han Shan could feel pity for his king, he heard Li Yuanjia continue to say: "By the way, I asked you to find a carpenter who can do overturning. Have you found one?"

"As far as I can tell you, Your Majesty, I haven't yet."

Han Shan quickly lowered his head and said helplessly: "We have searched all over Luzhou, but we haven't found a carpenter who can do overturned cars... However, I have sent people to search for relevant books. As long as we can find a

Chen Mu and the others should be able to follow the simple drawings and make them."

After following Li Yuanjia for a long time, Han Shan also learned the word drawing.

"……All right."

Although he is quite dissatisfied with Han Shan's efficiency, Li Yuanjia also knows that Luzhou is really inferior to Chang'an, and it is impossible to find all kinds of talents so easily. Moreover, this place is thousands of miles away from Chang'an and Luoyang. Under normal circumstances, a

It takes months to come and go, so you really have to be very patient if you want to get something done.

"So, give me a fiefdom closer to Chang'an or Luoyang!"

Recalling the letter his father-in-law wrote to him, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart. Although he didn't know "his" future "history", he knew that during the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin seemed to be waiting for his father's death to

There is a big rotation in the brothers' fiefdom!

If he could move to a better place, many things for Li Yuanjia would be easier to handle.

but……

Unable to help but touch his nose, Li Yuanjia squinted his eyes and pondered: "What if the fiefdom remains unchanged and I still stay in Luzhou? If I don't do anything, I will have waited in vain for several years...

…Sigh, after all, we still lack talents!”

Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken when he thought about how difficult it was for him, a prince of the Tang Dynasty, to find a carpenter who could make a car.

Not only is there a shortage of craftsmen, but also a shortage of "cultural people"!

When Li Yuanjia thought of the words "literary person", he suddenly remembered something: "Old Han, what day is today?"

"Back to your Majesty, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

"First grade of junior high school..."

Touching his chin that had not yet grown a beard, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows and said: "Then today is not the day when Chen Qian and Huang Licheng teach students? Haha, in the past two months, some people have failed the exam twice in a row.

of?"

Shaking his head, Han Shan quickly replied: "To tell you my Majesty, none of them have failed. I have been keeping an eye on a few of them. They study very hard and are excellent in every exam... The best one,

Now I can recognize it and write more than 300 words!"

"Well, that's not bad."

After listening to Han Shan's answer, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction.

Although those five little guys are unlikely to be of any use within three to five years, Li Yuanjia's expectations for them are not low at all, so he never wants them to be wasted because of playfulness or neglect.

The only pity is that some children learn a little slowly.

But you can understand it if you think about it. After all, these days, let alone pinyin and simplified Chinese, there is not even a three-character classic or a hundred surnames. The so-called teaching materials are all chosen by the teachers themselves. Therefore, in addition to personal talent, the speed of learning also depends on personal talent.

It is obvious from the teaching level of the teachers that Chen Qian and Huang Licheng are average, and the talents of the five students are not enough!

If they want to get ahead by studying, these guys must not even think about it.

Just one classical Chinese article can trouble them for several years.

You must know that Li Yuanjia studied Chinese for twelve years in his last life, and also studied classical Chinese for several years. However, if it were not integrated with the memories of this life, it would be difficult to understand those books, let alone those who started with zero foundation.

, and the teacher is particularly incompetent for the little guys.

But fortunately, Li Yuanjia didn't need them to understand classical Chinese.

To put it bluntly, what Li Yuanjia needs is a servant who can do simple reading and writing, and at the same time master a certain mathematical foundation. In the future, he can help him by his side, or he can give instructions and record the experiments of the craftsmen.

It's enough...

Even if the so-called "great talents" of this era could be cultivated, Li Yuanjia wouldn't dare!

"Oh, it would be great if there was a dictionary."

Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thought of those students who worked very hard but whose teachers didn't pay much attention to them.

Having a dictionary would at least allow them to study on their own.

He himself had quite a lot of time, but it was okay for a prince to occasionally teach them some basic mathematics. If he really taught them reading and literacy every day, Li Shimin would probably issue an edict to reprimand him in a few days.

"Tsk, tsk, otherwise..."
