Chapter 98
The palace maid continued: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei also asked someone to bring a message. These ices are not edible, they can only be used for freezing."

Looking at these ices, Li Shimin must be very proud of Li Zheng now!

How much more?
"Could it be that I want him to help Li Zheng!" Li Shimin said.

The palace maid bowed and stood, not daring to look up to see the present His Majesty's face.

Li Shimin said to the palace maid, "Go get some Tibetan ice and distribute it to each palace and palace."

"Here."

The maid retired to work.

Li Shimin looked at the broken ice in the package and said disdainfully, "I also have ice!"

Cen Wenwen said about Jingyang in Zhongshusheng, and also said that the iced mung bean soup only cost a penny a bowl.

There are rumors about Jingyang between the government and the opposition. Now that I think about it, Li Zheng not only did not want to recruit labor force, but also treated the villagers kindly.

Fang Xuanling said with admiration, "You can't easily believe those rumors in the court."

Du Ruhui also nodded and said: "Li Zhengzheng is really a good boy, no matter what, he will never do those things that are devoid of conscience."

"General Li Jing has accepted a good disciple."

"It is said that Sun Simiao also accepts Li Zheng as a disciple."

……

The court ordered that the workshops all over Chang'an did not dare to start work, and many villagers who came to work had their wages reduced.

It used to be a bad day, and now it's even worse.

From ten cents a day to now only four cents a day.

Some give up, others take risks and work secretly.

I don't know where the news came from. It is said that Jingyang is recruiting workers, and one month's salary is consistent.

People who lost their jobs in Changan went to Jingyang to inquire about the news. Is it true that Jingyang is now recruiting workers?

After inquiring, there is really such a thing, and it only needs to work for four hours a day, and two hours in the morning and two in the evening.

People who had lost their jobs seemed to have found hope.

There is such a place, the wages are more.

Treated well.

And you don't have to be charged.

Outside Chang'an, a group of workers who lost their jobs were talking.

"I heard that the Marquis of Jingyang County is a child of the Immortal family and can make ice out of thin air."

"Not bad, you can still grow food in the wasteland."

"Let's go to Jingyang to work, those workshop owners are too dark, and the wages of ten cents are only four cents."

"We have hands, feet and strength, and we have to work for those black-hearted owners."

……

The tenants of Bashang took it away from the people of Dali Temple, and many villagers of Bashang also left the place.

"When the eldest grandson's family was there, we had a bad time, and now we are not treated as human beings anymore."

"No! Let's go to Jingyang."

"Yes, let's go to Jingyang!"

……

Jingyang
Li Yifu is so busy now that more and more people come to work, and there are thousands of them in a day.

Because these are not the people who live in the village, Li Yifu has to register them, so as to avoid chaos when the wages are paid.

After taking a mouthful of iced mung bean soup, Li Yifu registered the villagers.

"We don't want children, we don't want children under the age of 16." Li Yifu shouted, "Everyone line up and take your time, don't crowd."

Daniu and the children in the village were also counting the number of people. After counting this wave of people, he said to Li Zheng: "There are 600 teachers in total."

Li Tai looked curious and asked, "Can you count? Five thousand six hundred people?"

Daniel replied: "A group of 100 people, a total of 56 groups, 600 people is right."

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng, can a child around ten years old calculate such a large number?
Daniel handed a roll of bamboo slips to Li Zheng and said, "Teacher, let's go to arrange the second group of people."

Group management is better for statistics, and it is easier to calculate wages at that time.

Li Tai looked at the crowded scene in front of him. Outside the village was a crowd of people from Wuyang.

When these people enter the village, they will be arranged into groups by Da Niu and other children, and the people who enter the construction site will immediately become orderly.

Li Tai looked at the situation and asked, "Li Zheng, how did you teach these children."

"Teach them the multiplication table." Li Zheng said.

Li Tai stared at Li Zheng and asked, "What else?"

"Group them."

Li Tai pondered for a while eating peanuts and said, "What do you mean by grouping?"

Li Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "Ten Guan Qian, I'll teach you."

"I said how far are you going to ask for money?"

"I don't want to learn."

Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Learn! IOUs."

Li Zheng took out a pen and a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to Li Tai.

Li Tai took it and looked at Li Zheng's expression, "Are you taking it with you?"

"Because someone may owe me money at any time, His Royal Highness King Wei owes me a total of 330 and [-] dollars so far."

Li Tai wrote an IOU on the bamboo slip and asked, "Li Zheng, do you only have money in your eyes?"

"Of course not. I can't just let me earn money alone, I have to take the villagers to a well-off life."

Although I don't know what Li Zheng's "running to a well-off life" means, I'm used to Li Zheng saying things that I don't understand.

Li Tai then asked, "The IOU is also written, so tell me how you usually teach these children."

Li Zheng accepted the IOU and checked it again. After confirming that it was correct, he carefully accepted it.

"Actually, it's not difficult. I just let them maintain good discipline, and also exercise their organizational skills and ability to listen to commands."

After listening to what Li Zheng said, Li Tai pondered for a while, "Listen to the command? Is it like in the army?"

"Actually, it's almost the same. I have a squad leader who can direct the whole class. This squad leader must be able to unite the entire class."

"Assign four more team leaders, and follow the squad leader's arrangement to instruct the children below, so that the whole class will not be like a mess of sand."

"I often assign homework for them to work together to complete, and the habit of cooperation will gradually develop."

Li Tai understood somewhat that Li Zheng's teaching method was indeed different from the previous teaching methods of the Tang Dynasty.

Like Guozijian, children are usually taught to explain some Confucian classics or some sages' poems first.

Li Tai recalled that he also went to see what Li Zheng taught his children.

It seems that Li Zheng has never taught these children something about Confucianism, and Li Zheng seldom teaches them even etiquette.

If it is known to others, it would be against the way of being a teacher.

Discipline, cohesion!

Secretly writing down these two words, Li Tai looked at the busy construction site and asked, "With so many people coming to work, your house should be built soon, what about the wages? Recruiting so many laborers, what do you need? You pay a lot of money, do you have enough money?"

Li Zheng shook the palm fan in his hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, the mountain man has his own plan."
