Villager of Daming

Chapter 695: It’s not too late to reward you for learning

"This one called hairtail is delicious. It looks like a belt and can be worn around the waist."

Zhu Zhu listened to Li Chang's words, took a bite of the braised hairtail fish, and showed a satisfied look.

"Oilfish is also called sickle fish. In some places, it is just called saury fish. The knife is the blade of a sickle. Hairtail fish live in deep water..."

The director once again began to educate the four princes about the living environment of hairtail fish and why hairtail fish died when caught.

“Therefore, if you want it to survive, you need a big cage, wait for it to get in, close it, and rise little by little. It will gradually adapt to the pressure of sea water, and it will be alive.

Therefore, Zhu Xi said: Although those who are favored know what it is, they may not know why it is so.

There is a record from the University: The way of a university lies in understanding the virtues, being close to the people, and striving for the highest perfection... To achieve knowledge is to study things... This is called knowing the origin, and this is called knowing the ultimate. "

The director finished talking about water pressure and the reasons for the death of hairtail due to changes in pressure within the body, and finally concluded.

So I ate a meal for a full hour, that is, two hours, and drank two large bowls of soup. I was so tired.

The princes are all curious babies, especially Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xi. They seize the opportunity and ask whatever comes to mind.

In the past, they would also ask the 'teacher' of the main hall, but the teacher only talked about what he wanted to talk about and rarely answered anything else.

One is afraid of Chao Gang and said something he shouldn't have said. The other is talking about the Spring and Autumn Period for you today. If you ask about the currents, how can we know?

The chief has been following Hanhan for these years, and he is not stupid himself. Hanhan teaches a lot. In fact, he is the most knowledgeable besides Hanhan. Some are a little more sophisticated, and some can give a rough idea.

After the four brothers finished their meal, they were still not satisfied. They listened with great enthusiasm.

"Second brother, you and your eldest brother went on a tour to the north. Didn't you learn a lot?" Zhu Ru asked with a disappointed expression.

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di had similar expressions. They found that this was better than going to the Dabentang to study. So what did the Dabentang teach?

If you had told us this earlier, how could we still be sleepy?We like to learn.

"It's not bad! Anyway, if you ask, you will find the answer." Zhu Xi felt the emotions of his brothers and responded in a low voice.

"Chief, I'm willing to learn from him. It's so interesting." Zhu Rui firmly decided to continue learning.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, it can be said that those who know well are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy. Great kindness!" praised the chief.

"Yes, yes, we have learned this sentence before. I remembered it when I was learning it, but I couldn't feel it. Now I understand it. It's really true!"

Zhu Zhu nodded vigorously. He had fun studying with the chief and learned skills. He would go back to the palace tonight to teach them.

Zhu Di's eyes were also bright. The same text was taught by the teacher at Dabentang. The director just talked about hairtail and other aspects first, and thus he understood part of the university and the Analects.

All the great Confucians in Dabentang give lectures like this, who wouldn’t want to learn?
……

The weather in the afternoon was sunny, neither hot nor cold, about [-] or [-] degrees above zero.

"Chief, is it cold in our fiefdom?" Zhu Di felt the current weather and thought of Peiping.

"Your Highness, Nanjing still looks like a refreshing autumn day, while people in the north are already wearing cotton-padded clothes.

This change is caused by the rotation of the Earth around the Sun and the subsequent declination.

In winter here, it is summer in some places, frozen all year round in some places, and always hot in some places.

Many crops need sunlight, and some are afraid of cold, so the products vary from place to place. Some plants grow slowly in cold places, including shellfish in the sea..."

On the way to the convenience office, the chief patiently answered Zhu Di's questions, and the other three also listened carefully.Specialized people in the team had to memorize it, record it when they went back, and send it to His Majesty.

This matter has been going on for a long time, and even when it comes to Helin, someone is responsible.

The palace is sorting and categorizing, as if it wants to compile a book and then use it to teach the royal children.

Just books can never be as good as on-site teaching. The key is to talk about one thing when you see it, and use this thing to draw out the content of the Four Books, the Five Classics and other schools of thought.

Books are dead, but people are alive. If reading books is enough, how much of a genius would that be?Otherwise, what else would Master, Jiao Yu and others do?
What's even more amazing is that Master can teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Why is one-on-one tutoring so expensive?
Zhu Wentian's friends also quoted scriptures and exchanged examples. The whole team had a special learning atmosphere.

"It's late, we're late..." Zhu Fan looked at his second brother and said when he saw the place.

He knew that his second brother had been following Xiaqiu Village from the very beginning. How much had he missed?The prince brother also learned it while fetching food.

"It's not too late, it's not too late. It's not too late if you don't learn, but it's not too late if you learn." The little girl spoke out over there.

He continued: "Zhuang Xin's "Warring States Policy" on Fortunately Officials Says: It's not too late to look after the dog when you see the rabbit; it's not too late to repair the dead sheep!

Of course, this means that King Qingxiang of Chu can focus more on government affairs, just like what Zhuge Liang recorded in his apprenticeship list: "Be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. This is why the ancient Han Dynasty prospered; be close to villains and stay away from virtuous people." Minister, since then the Han Dynasty has been in decline. 'It's the same!

Yes!It’s better to take action than to move your heart. Hurry up and study hard. Rather than looking for fish in the abyss, it’s better to retreat and build a net. "

"Thank you, sister Ling'er!" Zhu Fan quickly thanked her, his heart brightening.

……

In the office, the former bungalow has long been turned into a building. There are many stools outside, and there are stalls selling things endlessly.

"Roasted chestnuts with sugar, roasted chestnuts with sugar! Authentic Xuancheng roasted chestnuts with sugar, the skin is easy to peel, glutinous and sweet... At first glance, you can tell that they come from a wealthy family... uh... from Xiaqiu Village? Alas!"

The seller of sugar-roasted chestnuts was shouting when he saw a group of people coming over. He thought they were here to buy and sell, but he rubbed his eyes, sighed, and continued to fry.

"We all want these, let's weigh them!" Zhu Taiyi, who was leading the guards of the Prince's Mansion, came forward and asked the other party to weigh the fried ones together. The people in the team would get one point, and there wouldn't be many for each person.

Just eat a few and try them. If you want to eat more, go to Xiaqiu Village.

"Do you really want it? That's great!" The seller of sugar-roasted chestnuts was energetic again and was about to use a scale to weigh them.

A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old next to him said: "Dad, these chestnuts cost sixty kilograms raw, and they are 48% lighter when fried, weighing 44 kilograms. I just sold four kilograms, and there are [-] kilograms left, so they are sold as forty kilograms." .”

"Okay." The stall owner didn't say anything, so Zhu Taiyi nodded first.

Zhu Wentian stepped forward, lifted the big bamboo basket with both hands and weighed it: "Okay! Hmm!"

"That's forty pounds. This kid is better at counting than us. He learned it in the library. I'll give the rest to you guys."

The roasted chestnut seller talked about the child and continued to pack the chestnuts. Next to them were the leftover chestnuts from yesterday. They were heated again today. They weighed three to four kilograms. They had to be separated and they could not be deceived.

The first 44 kilograms are considered as forty kilograms and are the normal price for buying in large quantities, while the latter ones are for free.

"Study hard! If you have any problems, please contact the curator Wang Shu." Zhu Tai turned around to find the people who took the money, took out half a string, five hundred coins, and threw it to the place where the money was collected. It was quite heavy!
"It's too much. It's too much. Four hundred fen is four hundred fen. This year it's ten fen per catty. It's too much."

The roasted chestnut seller knew at a glance how the money was divided into half and half, which was always one thousand cents per string.

"If there's more, I'll reward your son, so settle the score quickly!" Zhu Taiyi pointed to the child with a smile.
