Li Shimin

Chapter 52 The Prince is a Teacher?

"well!"

Looking at it in detail, Li Gang, Kong Yingda and the others were all overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, I implore you, this number calculation must be carried out in the Ministry of Finance!"

On the side, Pei Ji hurriedly cupped his hands and suggested.

As for Dai Zhou, Minister of the Household Department, he nodded again and again.

Although there are many places, he still doesn't understand.

However, Pei Ji had told him about this kind of magic calculation before. If he used numbers to keep accounts and arithmetic, the Ministry of Household Affairs would definitely save more than half of the effort!
"Are there any of you who are proficient in arithmetic?"

Li Shimin nodded lightly, then asked the ministers below who were excited.

"Forehead……"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help turning their heads slowly to look at Pei Ji who was on the side.

Pei Ji was taken aback for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he waved his hands again and again: "Don't look at me, everyone, I only know superficially!"

"This?"

Including Li Gang, everyone couldn't help looking at Li Shimin again.

"I don't know how to do math either!" Li Shimin shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the hermit master?"

Changsun Wuji reminded in a low voice.

"No!"

Li Shimin directly shook his head and refused, "That hermit is indifferent, and I also promised that no one will disturb him!"

"Your Majesty, this math is related to the country. Please discuss it with that hermit master, or just teach me and others to learn this math!"

Li Gang said.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was taken aback.

Immediately, thinking of something, he looked at Li Chengqian with a strange expression on his face.

"Everyone, I have a candidate for this matter!"

"Please show your majesty!"

Kong Yingda, Li Gang and the others looked happy and asked quickly.

"Prince!"

Li Shimin said softly.

"Prince?"

After listening, all the ministers couldn't help but flicker, and their faces were weird.

Although the crown prince is the crown prince, he is only ten years old now, and in the eyes of all the ministers, he is just a child.

Asking the prince to teach them number arithmetic made everyone feel a little weird.

Especially Li Gang, as the prince and grand teacher, in the end, the student of the prince had to teach him arithmetic?
No matter how you think about it, it feels a little weird.

"Exactly, a few days ago, I took the prince with me to worship the hermit expert as my teacher, and the hermit expert is responsible for teaching the prince number arithmetic!"

Li Shimin didn't seem to see the faces of these ministers, he still said unhurriedly: "The number and arithmetic book in your hands is the arithmetic textbook that the expert prepared for the prince."

"And the Enlightenment Alphabet Book was borrowed by the prince from a classmate!"

"At present, among all the scholars in the world, except for the prince, there is no one who is more familiar with numbers and arithmetic!"

After speaking, Li Shimin stood up and looked at the ministers.

And this time, Li Chengqian had already looked dull, and asked him to teach these ministers and teachers about arithmetic. Although he couldn't believe it, there was a faint sense of excitement in his heart.

"I don't know everyone, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, there are no seniors in learning, and those who can master it come first! I would like to learn number arithmetic with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After a while, Kong Yingda spoke first.

Immediately, Changsun Wuji was startled, and hurriedly bowed his hands.

"Your Majesty, I would also like to learn arithmetic with the crown prince!"

"Your Majesty, I would also like to..."

With Kong Yingda and Changsun Wuji taking the lead, Pei Ji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others could only agree.

"Haha, it's so good. In a few days, when you are free, the prince will teach you how to count numbers!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly.

"The minister obeys the order!"

……

"Pei Gong, you said that Kong Yingda was the first person to agree with His Majesty's words and let the crown prince come down to teach me how to learn numbers and arithmetic? The crown prince is so big that a child actually came to teach us, what is this?"

Outside the palace, Dai Zhou couldn't help complaining to Pei Ji.

"The man from Kong County is a smart move!"

Pei Ji sighed softly.

"Pei Gong, what do you mean?" Dai Zhou was startled.

"Could it be possible that Dai Hubu wants to let Mr. Kong County, or Wei Guogong, Qi Guogong and others teach me to wait for mathematics and arithmetic?"

Pei Ji glanced at Dai Zhou and asked slowly.

"What's the matter..."

The words were ordinary, Dai Zhou quickly shut up, and then bowed his hands to Pei Ji to salute.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei!"

"Dai Hubu wants to have a bowel movement!"

Pei Ji smiled lightly. Although the prince is young, it is better to let the prince be their teacher than to let other ministers be their teacher.

Everyone understands this.

However, only Kong Yingda figured it out faster.

……

Inside the Tai Chi Palace.

After all the ministers left, Li Chengqian's expression suddenly changed to uneasy, and he stared at Li Shimin closely.

"Father, let the child teach the ministers how to count numbers. The child has not learned it yet, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do it!"

"Didn't I leave you several days!"

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

"But, Father..."

"Okay, that's it for now."

Li Shimin waved his hand and asked, "Gao Ming, I am busy with government affairs all day long, how can I have time to teach them arithmetic, only you have time!"

"As for finding someone else to teach these ministers how to count numbers, do you think who else can teach them numbers to count besides the little master?"

"Kong Yingda? Li Gang? Or Pei Ji?..."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian was taken aback.

Immediately, he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted.

"Thank you, Father, my son understands, and my son must be a good teacher of mathematics and arithmetic for all ministers!"

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

"It's just that textbooks are needed to teach number arithmetic, so in the past few days, you need to copy a few more number arithmetic books yourself!"

"Yes!"

This time, Li Chengqian was full of motivation.

For the past few days, I have been hiding in the East Palace and started copying mathematics and arithmetic textbooks.

As a result, when Li Chengqian came to Lijiazhuang and followed Li Xuan in class, learning numbers and arithmetic, his learning ability was very fast, and Li Xuan knew it as soon as he spoke.

This surprised Li Xuan very much, he almost thought that this noble son was also a 'second generation' just like him!
However, after knowing that Li Chengqian had copied more than a dozen books on number arithmetic in the past few days, he understood.

He couldn't help but look happy.

Sure enough, copying books is the fastest way to learn.

"Your Highness, I think your Highness can try to copy the book of enlightenment letters over there!"

"Copy the book of enlightenment letters?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but jump when he heard that he had to copy books again.

Just copying the book of mathematics and arithmetic, the hands he had already copied were about to break off.

Now, want to copy the book of enlightenment letters?

With so many words, wouldn't it be even more difficult to copy one book?
However, in this era where teachers are like parents, Li Chengqian could only grit his teeth, hold tears in his eyes, and nod respectfully in response to Li Xuanzhi's words.
