I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 509

Bang, bang.

The emperor's convoy moved slowly along the official road, stopping and going.

There is no way, there are too many people with me this time, and it is a long journey.

This is not a rush march. Considering everyone's endurance, we can only set a target mileage every day and walk slowly.

From Chang'an to Mount Tai, it takes a full three months, a hundred days!Who can bear to go fast?
As the sun gradually moved up, the convoy also stopped.

"Bury the pot and cook!"

Following the order of the vanguard, the cooks picked up all kinds of kitchen utensils, built the stove on the spot, and started cooking.

There is a set menu for the emperor, queen, prince and princess.

The royal relatives, ministers and family members are another package.

Ordinary guards and followers are another set.

The three standards are produced by three teams respectively, with clear distinctions.

After a while, a scent of fragrance floated into the dragon chariot.

"smell good……"

Li Shimin rubbed his stomach, looked at Changsun Wugou, and said with a smile,

"Guanyin maidservant, the weather outside is fine, how about we get out of the car and have dinner?"

"Alright." Changsun Wugou rubbed his forehead, feeling a little tired.

The carriage was bumpy, and she was not very comfortable all the time.

"uncomfortable?"

Li Er said with concern,

"Is it too tired?"

Changsun Wugou nodded, and with Li Chengqian's support, got off the dragon chariot.

"Hey, it's only the first day... There are still three months left."

Li Shimin said worriedly,
"How can I survive this? If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have let you out..."

It's fine for him to have some problems with his own body, he's just afraid that his wife won't be able to withstand it!

"Feng Chan is rare, how can I not go as a queen?"

Grandson Wugou replied,

"It's okay, I can still hold on, just sleep well at night."

"Come on, let's eat, here is your favorite fish soup."

Li Shimin just nodded, and got off the dragon chariot in two or three steps.

Outside, there is endless farmland, and the official road where the convoy is located has long been closed, and ordinary vehicles and horses cannot enter.

Of course, the people who went to work on foot would not be affected. Li Er also had a clear order that the trip to Fengchan should not disturb the people's work and rest.

On the table, there are several exquisite porcelain bowls, the dishes inside are fragrant and delicate.

"This is almost the same as eating in the palace..."

Grandson Wugou frowned and said,
"There are meat and vegetables, and you brought all the royal chefs with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chengqian and Li Tai had already rushed forward.

"Don't grab it, it's mine!"

"Brother, don't eat it alone! I want to eat too!"

"Woooooooooooooo...you give me you give me, you give me!"

These little guys usually eat a lot of snacks in the palace and don't move much. They don't have much interest in these meals, and they just pick up a few casually to finish the job.

But now on the journey, there are no snacks at all, and they are always twitching, and their stomachs are hungry. When it's meal time, they naturally have a grim face, and you fight for it!

"Don't steal!"

Grandson Wugou reprimanded,
"There are all of them, not enough for the cook to cook for you again!"

"Do you still want to show manners?"

Li Shimin smiled.

"It's delicious to rush to eat. I also liked to rush to eat when I was young."

He waved his hand and said with some complacency,

"How about it, isn't the logistics good?"

"Traveling abroad, the specifications are not reduced at all! What you eat in the palace, you can eat here!"

Changsun Wugou curled his lips.

"That expense must be several times the usual amount!"

she said,

"It's a difficult problem to transport these fresh vegetables and live fish."

"How much manpower and material resources will it take to serve us such a lunch?"

Li Shimin rubbed his face.

"Why are you worried about this... It's not us who pay for it."

he muttered,

"I didn't search for people's fat and people's ointment, it was all paid for by Mingming's bank."

"We didn't eat him for nothing. Look at the flag hanging high, now everyone in the world knows his bank!"

Changsun Wugou rolled his eyes.

"That's not allowed! No one's money comes from the wind."

She said displeased,

"Ordinary people are poor and rich, but as an emperor, they must be frugal when walking on the road!"

"If you are extravagant, the people below will follow suit! When extravagance becomes the norm, money will be spent like water!"

"What's the matter? Isn't that what Emperor Sui Yang did?"

Li Shimin: "!!!"

He has a 'Yang Guang stress response', whoever says he is like Yang Guang, he must be impatient!

This moment is no exception.

"You...you are really... stronger than that Wei Zheng!"

Li Er gritted his teeth, but in the end he was discouraged and said,

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Come on, pass on my order, from the next meal, remove the fresh vegetables and live fish, and don't send them to me in a hurry!"

"My diet is consistent with that of the ministers!"

"Follow the order." The attendant responded and left.

"Are you satisfied?" Li Er looked at his wife and spread his hands.

"It's almost..."

The eldest grandson Wugou snorted softly,
"We can't finish this meal, so let's call a few people and share it together."

Li Shimin nodded.

The emperor had strict rules, at least a dozen or twenty dishes were required for a meal, but the emperor was a human being, not a pig, so he couldn't eat that much.

Give food to ministers to show favor, but not to waste.

"Chengqian, Qingque."

Li Er ordered,
"Don't eat! I will give you two a task."

"Go and call your master, as well as Uncle Fang, Uncle Changsun, Uncle Yuchi, Uncle Cheng, and others. You can call any uncle you know well!"

"Let's eat together!",

Li Chengqian wiped the oil from his mouth.

Li Tai swallowed a mouthful of the rice ball with difficulty.

"Yes!"

The two cubs hopped and ran away.

After a while, they went back and forth.

"Father, Uncle Fang is not in his carriage!"

"Father, uncle grandson is not here either!"

"They seem to have all gone to Master's place, Master's big black crowd!"

Li Shimin: "?"

They all went to Xu Fenglei?What are you going to do?
A little more curious in his heart, he took off his outer robe and threw it to his wife, then walked towards Xu Fenglei's carriage.

……

In front of a carriage.

"Teacher, when will the Great Tang Academy start and recruit students?"

"I brought my child, can you show it?"

"Teacher, my baby is also very smart, can you help me take a look? Really, I won't lie to you, he can recite poems at the age of three, compose at the age of five, and at the age of seven..."

"Grand Master, what items are tested for admission... You should at least reveal a little bit, so we can go back and prepare!"

"yes……"

"..."

Seeing everyone's eager faces, Xu Fenglei's head was about to grow big.

What is this!
Bring the child to block him!

If Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin were not there to help stop him, I would have been squeezed flat by them!
"Teacher, is it still too late to buy shares? I would like to contribute 20 taels of shares!"

"I want to buy shares too! It would be great if I knew earlier!"

"Master..."

"..."

Li Shimin was in the corner of the carriage, his face turned dark when he heard this.

These ministers are really rich!Picking up 20 taels of silver is like playing, without even blinking.

Are they that rich?
Let me see who they are...

Seeing this, he felt a little relieved.

Most of the rich and powerful people clamoring to buy shares are military generals, which is normal.

Back then when he was fighting the world, I don't know how many generals stole the spoils secretly. As the coach, he also turned a blind eye.

After all, I also swallowed it...

If not, how could he have so much money to buy people's hearts and run power?
Reassuring himself like this, Li Shimin continued to eavesdrop.

"Everyone be quiet, be quiet."

Xu Fenglei raised his hands and said loudly,
"Listen to me."

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

"I can understand everyone's feelings. After all, they all want to give their children a good education."

Xu Fenglei said,

"Especially the children of military officers, they hope that the children in the family will be successful and become scholars and cultural people."

"I can understand this, but I also want to make it clear to you—"

"At the beginning, I thought about starting the Chang'an Academy, which is now the Datang Academy, not for making money, not for profit, but because I really wanted to establish a sound talent training mechanism in Datang."

"So, please don't think too much about buying shares. I made it clear that this road is impossible to go through. To be honest, I also made this bad move because I was really short of money. Now I There is no shortage of money, and the imperial court has allocated funds, so naturally there is no need for crowdfunding."

When everyone heard the words, they all showed disappointment.

However, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others looked a little complacent.

They were the ones who got in the car at the beginning!You can enjoy the treatment of sending your children to school without fail!

Seeing this group of people begging their grandpa to sue their grandma now, I feel so refreshed!
It's worth the money!So prescient!
"Then, I'll talk about the start of school and enrollment."

Xu Fenglei said again,
"The Datang Academy is about to be completed. It is expected that the school will start in September, and the enrollment will be in June."

"That is to say, when His Majesty Feng Chan returns, the enrollment will be intensively launched. The first batch of enrollment is expected to be around 500 students."

There are five classes on the first floor, and each class has 50 students.

It is more appropriate for a building to accommodate 500 students. If you insist on stuffing it in, you can cram another 200 students at most.

Judging from the current situation, the number of recruits is not enough at all... If you open the door to these powerful and powerful people, it will not be enough for them to stuff them in!
This Xu Fenglei does not agree, he aims to serve the children of the common people!Honorable children must strictly control the ratio!

"Only 500 people..."

"It's really too little... Grand Master, what is the standard for recruiting students, is it to recite the "Book of Songs" or the Four Books and Five Classics? Can you tell me?"

The ministers shouted again.

"No, these are not tested, I will not test any book knowledge."

Xu Fenglei smiled lightly,

"Those are tangible things. What's the point of something that can be done by rote memorization? It's impossible to judge a person's wisdom and character."

"What I want to investigate is a human god!"

"There is a word called piercing, and what I want to investigate is this 'god'!"

"There are too many, don't say any more, otherwise it will be unfair to other children, and that's all for now. Everyone, let's break up...I want to eat."

When everyone heard the words, they were all a little confused.

god?
What the hell is God?It's so ridiculous!
"Sparkling? This word is used to describe the eyes. Could it be that what the grand master wants to examine is vision?"

"Vision, you ghost! Eyes, eyes, don't you understand! I probably understand the meaning of the grand master..."

"Really? Then tell me!"

"Don't talk! You can figure it out for yourself! I told you, what should I do if your son compares to my son? Now the competition has begun!"

"Damn you, are you still a brother?! You don't want to say this? You don't have to do it if you don't say brother! Back then, I blocked the knife for you..."

"Okay, keep your voice down...Let me tell you, don't tell others, I guess too, this exam...maybe it has something to do with a person's spirit, that is, his mental outlook..."

"..."

Driven away by Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin, everyone finally left.

"Hey, these guys, what are you doing in such a hurry!"

Yuchi Gong said hesitantly,

"Isn't it just a study, isn't it the same to find a teacher at random? Why do you have to go to the academy to study?"

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes.

"Mr. Xixi, can you compare with the Datang Academy? This is the first public school in the Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty supports it, and the Grand Master runs it himself. Can it be the same?"

he said,

"The reason why those aristocratic children are outstanding is not because of their family education and background?"

"But now, behind the Great Tang Academy is the Royal Collection, and there are a group of the best gentlemen in the world to teach! Those who are taught must be better than those from the aristocratic families, and they must be talented!"

"With this advantage, who wouldn't be greedy? Especially those big bosses who dream of taking off the hat of illiterates, and want their descendants to produce a few educated people who can follow the path of civil servants."

"Believe it or not, if you want to transfer your Yuchi Baolin's quota, those people will kowtow to you and call you father!"

Hearing this, Xu Fenglei couldn't help but smile helplessly.

In order for their children to get a better education, some parents are really bewildered!

A common problem in ancient and modern times.

"Tch, I won't transfer it! I'm stupid!"

Yuchi said respectfully,
"I don't care about having so many sons, as long as my own son is promising!"

"Come, come, eat and eat, let's eat at the Grand Master's place today, and talk about the children's studies by the way..."

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were still watching the fun, but when they heard that they were going to discuss children's education, they immediately joined in.

"Together."

"Come on, let's fight for a table. I recently discovered a good method, which is especially useful against babies!"

"Oh? Tell me?"

"..."

Li Shimin in the corner was speechless.

A few big men actually shared the parenting experience there!For this reason, he did not hesitate to rub the table with a bowl on Xu Fenglei's cheek!
It is estimated that at this moment, in their eyes, the emperor's food is not as attractive as a few parenting scriptures!
"Forget it……"

Li Shimin pouted, turned around and said,
"I'll eat by myself, and go for a walk after eating!"
