Great Tang princess

Chapter 623 Classroom
When most of the captives and engineers went to Weihai and Dalian to start future construction work, the number of people in Qingdao was much smaller, and it felt clean all of a sudden.

Because Li Longji and the others did not live in the imperial palace since they were young, they lived in an army-style life similar to stocking, so they had a high level of autonomy.

After the construction of Weihai and Dalian started, they would usually spontaneously run over to help on Saturdays and Sundays. Anyway, the distance is not very far, and it is easy to go there by hot air balloon.

Of course, they said they were helping, but in fact they didn’t do much work. Most of the time they just walked around watching and learning like a supervisor.

Under the influence of Li Yuechen, they will also take the initiative to learn some "useless" knowledge in the eyes of Confucian scholars, and they may be able to use it at any time.

At the military academy, the Zhou siblings also came out of the confinement room and officially went back to class.

Before going back to school, the two came to the office, kowtowed three times to Li Yuechen, and swore to be loyal with their lives in the future.

Things were already like this, Li Yuechen didn't say much, just nodded and told them to go back to class.

The siblings also knew that it was indeed a great favor from His Highness not to kill them, that's why they made such a move.

It is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to be taken lightly in the future, but in this feudal era... that's all.

As for the siblings, they can take a good look at them in the future. If they are capable, it is not impossible to entrust them with important responsibilities.

……

The time came to the end of March, and the weather has completely entered spring. Apart from the coolness in the morning and evening, you can already feel a little hot at noon.

The branches near the military camp have completely sprouted, covering the surrounding mountains with a layer of emerald green.

In the camp area, flower buds of different colors are in bud, waiting for the arrival of summer to reappear in bright colors.

This should be due to Li Yuechen's planning and design.

In fact, she doesn't like the steel jungle style of the big cities in the future, and she doesn't think that the development of human beings must destroy the environment. The two should complement each other.

Therefore, in the planning and construction of the barracks from the very beginning, the principle of "trying not to damage the environment" was maintained to create a society where man and nature live in harmony.

Even in order to prevent serious damage to the environment caused by too fast development in the future, when taking Li Longji and the others to class, they often organize some extracurricular activities.

In summer, I will take them outside to observe flowers of different colors and the ecological habits of various insects, so that they can understand the beauty of nature invisibly.

These childhood memories will give them more insight and a broader perspective in their future growth.

Li Yuechen felt that they should look for opportunities to let them experience some more interesting folk activities, not just to watch, but to participate in person, such as farming and the like.

You don't need to do farm work every day, but at least you have to participate in it yourself and know what the process is like.

To put it bluntly, at least in the future when you become the boss of the military region or the emperor, you won't let the people below you live easily.

……

In the office, Li Yuechen was thinking about the education of the future flowers of the empire while sipping tea and enjoying the afternoon.

Now Li Yuechen's office has not changed much compared to before. If there is a more obvious difference from the past, it seems that the number of scrolls on the bookshelf seems to be a little less, but there are a lot more thread-bound books.

In fact, in Dongdu, only Taiping Publishing Co., Ltd. can produce bound books, and scrolls and scriptures are still the mainstream in other places.

The promotion effect of this kind of thread-bound book is not so good. The main problem lies in personal habits.

Nowadays, there are no so-called public schools, and most children learn knowledge at home.

Young people know how rigid old people are. They don’t accept this kind of thread-bound books very much, that is, they only buy books like the novels they like, or the "Chen Gui" compiled by the current emperor. Other times, Self-writing is still dominated by scrolls and scriptures.

As a result, the promotion of thread-bound books is not so fast, but Li Yuechen is not in a hurry about it. The young people can't openly oppose the elders because of their filial piety.

But as time goes by, thread-bound books will become mainstream sooner or later, especially after the talents in the school she runs are cultivated, which will naturally have a subtle influence on the entire society.

Just as she was enjoying the pleasant time while sipping tea, there was an untimely knock on the door.

"Come in!" Li Yuechen replied helplessly, complaining in his heart when he would be able to enjoy the relaxing time.

Wang Xiaojie opened the door and walked in, saluted respectfully: "Your Highness."

"Excuse me, what do you want to say?" Li Yuechen asked, leaning on the back of his chair.

"Your Highness, this Lun Qinling is dead, but the art of war course can't be left behind. Do you want to find another gentleman? Otherwise, my subordinates are really... lacking in skills."

While speaking, Wang Xiaojie's tone even carried a grievance like a child who didn't get his beloved toy.

"Forehead……"

This is such a grievance, Li Yuechen didn't know how to comfort him for a while, after all, what he said was indeed true, the curriculum of the military academy should not be left behind, and he still had to find someone to teach the art of war course. It is indeed not good to give Wang Xiaojie the principal.

But the biggest problem is that there are quite a few people in the court who understand the art of war, but it is almost impossible to find anyone who understands the art of war and the concept of the new army.

Li Yuechen thought about it carefully, and felt that the only one who could handle this task now... seemed to be Geng Yunqiang.

First of all, he understands the art of war, and secondly, he has rich actual combat experience. He has followed him on the battlefield, and has led special forces to perform many missions.

Overall, he is the best candidate no matter how you look at it.

It just so happens that he is also thinking about returning to the Eastern Capital at the end of May. Things here have been gradually handed over, and he still has a lot of free time.

In order to prevent him from being bored, it is better to let him serve as the art of war teacher of the military academy, so as to save him from being too idle and causing physical discomfort.

……

Geng Yunqiang, who received the order, didn't react at first, but after repeated confirmation, he found out that he was really asked to serve as the art of war teacher in the military academy.

Although I felt a little helpless about this, soldiers just had to obey orders, so they went obediently.

For the students, this is a very novel experience. After all, Geng Yunqiang participated in many wars with the princess at the beginning, and his actual combat experience can be said to be quite rich. With such a teacher, he should be able to ask after class Some questions that I have been thinking about for a long time.

Geng Yunqiang suddenly felt much busier than before, and he still had a little resentment in his heart. After thinking about it, he told the princess that it would be best to find a teacher who could replace him as soon as possible.

But before he had time to say it, Li Yuechen gave him more treatment, which made him full of complaints and was blocked back. There was no way, it was too much.

Princess Taiping is not only a princess, but also the richest woman in the country today. If there is a rich list in this era, it will definitely be ranked first.

So not only did Geng Yunqiang not tell his grievances, but he also did all kinds of related work more seriously than before, such as preparing lessons, otherwise the money would feel hot.

It stands to reason that this kind of semi-private treatment promotion should not be, but now it is a feudal dynasty after all, the princess gives some benefits to her own people in private, even if it is known, no one can say anything.

But considering the problem of face, the two still kept a low profile on the matter and did not show it.

Originally, Li Yuechen thought about taking over as a substitute teacher, but there was not enough time, and it was already very tiring to teach these royal children every day at school.

The education of the royal family is different from that of the outside world, and it takes more energy to be a teacher.

Just like now...

In the classroom, Li Yuechen leaned on the podium, chatted with the students to answer their various doubts, and explained to them how to be a qualified leader.

"That's why, I usually ask you to read more about history, and you can always get a glimpse of useful knowledge from the experience of the predecessors." Li Yuechen picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Auntie, I read history, but I don't understand many things." Li Chongrun replied with a pouted mouth, "Without punctuation marks, these history books feel extremely obscure and difficult to understand, and it takes a lot of energy to read."

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "So the role of my husband is here. Tell me, what don't you understand?"

Li Chongrun raised his eyebrows slightly and replied, "Emperor Xiaowen."

"Emperor Xiaowen?" This answer was obviously beyond Li Yuechen's expectations, she raised her head slightly in surprise, "His reform policy?"

"Well," Li Chongrun nodded slightly, "As a Xianbei, he has fully implemented Sinicization, isn't it boosting other people's aspirations? Wouldn't this matter cause the same clan to rebel?"

The others nodded as well, expressing that they had the same doubts.

Seeing that the problem has come to this point, Li Yuechen also put away his usual relaxed look, picked up his teacup and took a sip: "You all think so?"

Li Xianhui raised her hand and said, "It feels like something is wrong, but I can't tell."

Li Longji on the side folded his arms in front of his chest: "Well... especially his reforms didn't last long for the Northern Wei Dynasty, and eventually perished."

"Well... it's true in terms of the result, but have you ever thought that if you don't change it, maybe the Northern Wei Dynasty will perish under his dynasty?" Li Yuechen asked back.

This point of view made Li Xianhui nod slightly: "I think so too."

Then Li Yuechen turned his head and looked at Li Chongrun: "Going back to the question of you, of course the same clan has a rebellious heart about this, and the Six Towns rebelled because of this."

Li Chongrun nodded slightly: "In that case..."

"But you have overlooked a problem. It is true that Emperor Xiaowen is from Xianbei, but first of all, he is an emperor!" Li Yuechen interrupted his question and continued, "I told you long ago that our country is a multi-millionaire. A nation-state, so the emperor should not only look at the interests of his own family when looking at things. As an emperor, everything must be based on the interests of the country! If comprehensive Sinicization is beneficial to the country, then it should be Sinicized. If Huhua is beneficial to the country, then It should be fooled."

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen took two steps back, came to the blackboard, put his hands on the desk and said: "The social environment at that time was bad, and the ethnic conflicts were almost irreconcilable, but Emperor Xiaowen's comprehensive Sinicization has been eased to a large extent. It has eliminated ethnic conflicts...and even achieved quite good progress in politics, economy, culture, etc., which cannot be denied."

These words made the children listening to the class below nod their heads, expressing that this is indeed the case.

However, Li Chongrun said: "However, his introduction of the Wei and Jin clan system also led to a new one..."

Li Xianhui reminded: "Class contradictions!"

"Yes!" Li Chongrun nodded, "The clan system has triggered new class conflicts, and ultimately led to no hope of rising at the bottom. Will it go further and lead to an uprising?"

Before, Li Yuechen told them why the imperial examination system is needed now, and even told them how oppressive social life is under class conflicts.

She has personally been to a chaebol-controlled country like Cosmic Country to participate in activities before, and she can really feel the oppression of ordinary people. The entrepreneurial environment is extremely harsh, and there is almost no room for small and medium-sized enterprises to survive.

The tentacles of chaebols spread all over all walks of life, and even roadside restaurants and milk tea shops are basically run by chaebols. If ordinary people want to start a business in that environment, the success rate is infinitely close to zero.

That's why these children can understand words like class contradictions, plus they didn't grow up in the palace since they were young, they were very close to the people, and most of the army are civilians. After staying with them for a long time, I dare not say that I empathize with them. But at least I can understand a thing or two.

"That's right, but this is the limitation of history. Emperor Xiaowen's era also made him unable to see further."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Besides, I am really in a hurry to fully Sinicize. The fusion of cultures is essentially a process of mutual absorption. However, Emperor Xiaowen was extremely strict in demanding that customs be changed in a short period of time and fully Sinicized. This hasty order eventually failed. It led to the internal division of Xianbei. The rebellion of the six towns is actually the extreme Xianbei nationalism born under this system."

"According to what my aunt said, the original intention of Emperor Xiaowen's reform was indeed right, but why did it end up like this in the end?" Li Chongrun asked.

For this kind of humbly asking for advice, Li Yuechen glanced at him very much, but did not answer right away, but asked: "Who has a different answer to this question?"

Li Longji raised his hand: "I think this is the fault of future generations. The consequences of Emperor Xiaowen's policy should be resolved by the emperors after him, but they failed to resolve them, which led to the Northern Wei Dynasty's end."

"That's right!" Li Yuechen nodded, "So now, what problems can you realize from Emperor Xiaowen?"

The children all frowned and thought about it, but Li Chongfu, who just turned ten years old, said: "He should not trust the ability of future generations too much, he should do everything for future generations by himself like Emperor Sui Yang. "

"cough--"

Hearing this answer almost choked Li Yuechen who was drinking tea, what the hell?Shouldn't it be the importance of education?
