Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 270 The Ideal Appearance
Under the influence of Li Qinzai, both father and son miss Wan'er, the unborn son of Shangguan's family.

People always have ideals, otherwise they are no different from salted fish.

Marrying a stunning and awesome woman is definitely one of the ideals of a man.

Just before Li Qinzai's wedding, the new school was finally completed.

Li Sujie and all the students immediately moved into the dormitory of the new school, and Qiao'er also packed her luggage and moved in happily.

Looking at Qiao'er's jumping back, Li Qinzai suddenly felt the sadness of an old father watching his children grow up with tears in his eyes.

He is only in his early 20s, how could he feel a sense of twilight?
After the Ministry of Industry officials handed over the new school, they took the craftsmen back to Chang'an.At the same time, Li Zhi and Empress Wu of Chang'an City also knew the news of the completion of the new school.

Without the noisy construction noise from the construction site, Li Qinzai's life has returned to calm. The only thing he is not used to is that he has to walk from the other courtyard to the south of Zhuangzi to teach the students every day, which is about a mile or more.

It’s more than a mile, and I’m tired when I think about it. I really want to invent the steam engine, lay a track between the other courtyard and the school, and then build a train to take Li Jingchu, the only treasure of the Tang Dynasty, to the mountain every day...

The steam engine is too difficult, and it is basically impossible to build it with today's industrial level.

To be more realistic, it would be more logical to prepare a 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.

Qiao'er is not as simple as it looks on the surface. People who have suffered trauma 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. The real emotions will only be hidden deep in his heart and will not be easily seen by others.

Some knots cannot be untied by chatting for a few days. Li Qinzai can only slowly melt his heart with his father's care.

…………

After a few days of class, a guest came to Ganjingzhuang, also an old acquaintance.

Li Zhi visited again in a low-level service, this time for the new school.

Early in the morning, the entrance to the village was sealed off by the imperial army, and the entry and exit of farmers were not affected, but people from outside the village were not allowed to enter.

Still the same as before when he went on tour, Li Zhi only brought more than a hundred entourages and imperial troops, without courtiers, got out of the carriage before reaching the village entrance, and walked slowly into the village under the guard of his entourage. The rich and noble son went out for an outing in the city.

After an hour of incense burning, Li Zhi appeared outside the new school wearing a black casual robe with a smile on his face.

Li Zhi came suddenly, and Li Qinzai, who was in class, hurried out to greet him.

Before he could bend down, he was lifted up by Li Zhi: "Jing Chu doesn't need to be polite, I just went out of the palace to relax and take a look at the new school, tsk! It cost me five thousand guan, Jing Chu should tell the students Cherish it so much, don’t destroy it.”

"Yes."

Then Li Qinzai carefully accompanied him, explaining his doubts to Li Zhi from time to time.

After a long time, Li Zhi finally smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, the Ministry of Industry has done its best this time. Although it is not perfect, it is enough."

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "The ministers and students thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "You are welcome, I would like to thank you very much. To be honest, if it were not for your full knowledge, I am afraid that this school would not be built. Jing Chu once said that science and technology can change the world. Wait until you When the world is full of peaches and plums, I am looking forward to what the world you will change will look like."

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid the strength of one minister is not enough."

Li Zhi pointed to the school, and said, "What if we add these students?"

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?"

"Many, many, Your Majesty, it can be seen that changing the world is not achieved in ten years, 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 in your heart look like?"

Li Qinzai showed nostalgia, and said: "I think that after two or three generations, the Tang Dynasty will have straight, spacious and flat roads. All the soldiers and horses can come in the morning and evening."

"People no longer take farming as their only livelihood. There will be many workshops in the Tang Dynasty. All kinds of new things will be produced in the workshops, ranging from steel lathes to iron nails and tenons. Earn wages and supplement the family, even if there is a disaster year, the whole family will not become refugees."

"The court will be more pragmatic than it is now, and His Majesty's ambitions are also greater than today, because the world has changed, we need land and population more, and the Tang Dynasty must expand outward."

"We not only want to conquer the surrounding neighboring countries, but also build super-large sea ships, go out to sea to find new land that has never been discovered, and then conquer it, accommodate it, and develop it."

"We will have inexhaustible arable land and food, an invincible army, weapons that will make the enemy fearful, and an indestructible fortress..."

"Your Majesty, this is how Tang should look in my eyes."

Li Zhi was so excited by the new world described by Li Qinzai that his face flushed.

In particular, the proposal of outward expansion tickled Li Zhi's itch. Since he ascended the throne, his biggest ambition was to use troops abroad, expand the country, and surpass his father in terms of civil, military, and martial arts.

"Yes, will there be such a day?" Li Zhi's eyes were shining with excitement.

Li Qinzai nodded affirmatively: "There will definitely be, but the premise is that your majesty must take good care of the dragon's body. Long live or something is too false. I hope that your majesty will live a long life and witness with your own eyes that the Tang Dynasty has reached the peak of ancient and modern times under your rule. .”

Li Zhi said excitedly: "Yes, I have always taken care of my body, haha, the folk prescription you gave me is not bad, cut ginkgo leaves into shreds and soaked in water to drink, I insist on drinking it every day, and it has been more than half a year since then. gone."

As he spoke, Li Zhi sighed with emotion: "Counting it down, Jingchu really contributed a lot to my Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the magic arm, bow, horseshoe and pulley block, the important thing is that when my life was in danger in the Taiji Palace, it was you. Resolutely saved my life, and prescribed a good medicine for me..."

"My problem has left countless imperial physicians at a loss. After taking your folk prescription, I haven't committed it again. Jing Chu is to me, just like Kong Ming is to Xuande Gong. He is actually my humerus minister. It is better than a million soldiers."

Li Qinzai said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty praised too much, I am ashamed..."

Li Zhi laughed loudly, and then said in a low voice: "I heard that you are getting married soon, is it the one from the Cui family? Didn't you change?"

Li Qinzai's old face darkened.

Is the emperor talking like this?
"Uh, if there are no accidents, there should be no substitutions..."

Li Zhi sighed with some regret: "What a talent, why did he favor a daughter from a family... I originally planned to persuade Zu to change marriages and betroth a princess to you..."

"It's a pity that all my sisters have been handed over to my servants, and they are older than you, but I have only three daughters, one of whom died young, and the other two were born to Concubine Xiao Shu. What a disaster, tsk, what a pity, what a pity!"

Li Qinzai's back suddenly seeped a layer of sweat.

Nima, fortunately you are still sensible and didn't marry Concubine Xiao Shu's daughter to me, otherwise my life would be a mess.Your wife in the palace sees me as disliked from here and there, she has an enemy for no reason.

What's even more fortunate is that the prestigious Princess Taiping has not yet been born, which saves her a green hat and anger.

In contrast, Cui Jie is simply perfect.

Well, 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 several doctors from the Imperial College to assist Li Qinzai in presiding over the school affairs.

As for the math teacher, Li Zhi decided not to transfer after all. He had listened to Li Qinzai's class and knew that what he taught was unheard of in Datang. Bad for students.

The monarchs and ministers returned to the other courtyard of the Li family, and Li Zhi rushed into the wing room where he lived before.

After entering the room, Xuan Qiaoer came over excitedly.

Qiao'er, who was taking a nap, was forcibly switched on, half-dragged and half-dragged in front of Li Zhi, and was still yawning while saluting awkwardly.

The cute appearance made Li Zhi so cute, he reached out and pinched his pink face, and said with a smile: "Qiaoer, I heard that you have been misbehaving recently."

Qiao'er's eyes widened: "Your Majesty 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 busy, and you are not important enough to ask my father to write a memorial to sue."

Li Zhi laughed happily: "Oh, your son Jingchu is so interesting, I really want to adopt him as a foster son."

Li Qinzai was startled, his lips twitched a few times, but he didn't make a sound.

Li Qinzai really didn't want Qiao'er to be adopted by Li Zhi as his adopted son. Once he became the emperor's adopted son, Qiao'er would never have peace in his life. Whether he wanted to or not, he would be involved in endless battles.

Fortunately, Li Zhi just mentioned it casually, and he didn't seem to take it seriously, so Li Qinzai heaved a sigh of relief.

"Qiao'er read more and learn all your father's knowledge. When you grow up, you don't have to take the imperial examination. I will directly make you a high official."

Li Zhi looked at Li Qinzai 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, don't praise him in front of the child, I'm afraid he will get carried away..."

Li Zhi hummed, and sighed: "Jingchu's talent, I have seen it again and again, and even the son I taught is so outstanding, I can't accept it."

Li Qinzai smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty is absurd. I have little talent and little learning. The students in the school are uneven. I have taught and taught a lot of knowledge, but I still can't master it. I am ashamed of trusting Your Majesty."

Li Zhi shook his head: "Those princes and powerful children, I know what kind of virtue they are. Jing Chu can subdue them and restore Chang'an City to a bright and clean world, which is already a great contribution."

Li Qinzai's cheeks twitched.

This is how disgusting those little bastards are, "returning Chang'an City to a bright and bright world" has been used.

The one who really restores Chang'an City to the bright world is me, okay?
