Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 620

Soon, Li Shimin was attracted by the textbooks sent by Yu Zhen. From the first grade of elementary school, although the knowledge is very shallow, the design is very interesting. The language starts with Chinese pinyin and simple Chinese characters, and mathematics is also advanced Deep, from simple ones addition and subtraction to the final addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, pen calculations, and abacus calculations.

What interests him the most is the book on ideology and morality, which uses Confucianism to talk about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Children may not understand it at all, but a children's book like a fairy tale can tell them that when encountering When it comes to things, how to deal with them, and understand the spirit of encouragement in many stories.

For example, "Cutting the Wall to Excuse Light" from "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes", "Sun Kang Yingxue" from "Yiwenleiju" compiled by Ouyang Xun and others in the seventh year of Wude, etc., have been edited. In this book of ideology and morality, using vernacular text and some simple illustrations, children can easily learn the good qualities of these stories. In Li Shimin's view, this method is too clear, and he will always think of various ways , make everything simple, so that others can easily learn.

However, with Li Shimin's intelligence, when he saw the textbooks for the fifth and sixth grades, he didn't understand. The contents of astronomy, geography, biology and nature completely overturned his previous understanding of these phenomena between heaven and earth. , Rain is formed by water vapor, when two cumulonimbus clouds collide, there will be thunder and lightning, etc. He just stood outside the classroom and watched for nearly a class.

"Your Majesty, we still have extra textbooks in our school. Otherwise, you can take this set back and read it!" Yu Zhen patiently waited beside him for a long time, fearing that Li Shimin would delay his next class. Yes, opened the mouth and said.

"Okay, okay, okay, these textbooks, I will take them back and have a good look at them, and you can continue to teach the children! Later, if there are textbooks for higher grades drawn up, I will also send a copy to me." .”

"No, Yu Jiao, are you trying to drive His Majesty away? I heard that your school still takes care of the children's meals, and all the expenses are paid by the profits of the chamber of commerce. Why don't you keep us here for a free meal? "

"Uh, it's fine if you want to eat at school, but the cafeteria will have to wait for a class before opening. If Your Majesty can wait..."

"No need, I believe Sun Dali will arrange this kind of thing very well. The people in their Xingfu Village have never treated the children badly. Let's go to the county to find a hotel to eat and stay! Yu Jiaoyu, you But remember, don't reveal my identity!"

Li Shimin glanced at Yu Zhen with a smile, and walked out of the school with a stack of textbooks. What he wants to do most now is to read all these textbooks. This astronomy and geography is already very interesting. Naturally, that creature shouldn't be bad either.

"Of course, of course."

Yu Zhen sent Li Shimin and his party out of the school, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the education field of Datang, the things taught in Jiuyuan County are not the mainstream, and they are even suspected of heresy. It is said that it is no longer a pure cultural education, but more engineering-oriented, but it is more upscale than the handicraft teaching opened by the Yang family in Hongnong.The Analects of Confucius, the things in the Book of Songs, only take up a small amount of space in the Chinese textbooks of Jiuyuan County, and only a few short paragraphs have been selected.

Fortunately, Li Shimin did not raise any objections on the spot. This hurdle should have passed. After all, such a substantial reform of teaching content did not pass the imperial court.

After leaving the school, Changsun Chun led Li Shimin to stay at Jiuyuan Hotel. He, Changsun Empress and others had a solid meal for dinner, because there were too many vegetables here in the spring, and Sun Chun Xiangfu planted a lot of vegetables that Sun Erli brought back from the Western Regions, but Li Shimin didn't eat much. His attention was all on the nature of those creatures.

Six volumes in a row, from the biology and nature books of the first grade to the sixth grade, he read all of them in more than an hour. From the simple and common insects, animals and plants native to the Tang Dynasty, to many exotic animals and plants, there were introductions, and some animals were even introduced. He gave an introduction about his intelligence and danger, and forced the hotel waiter to reheat the food twice. If the sound of gongs, drums and musical instruments on the street outside had not disturbed him, he would not know when he would have eaten this meal. The method, Li Shimin's earnestness when reading, the eldest grandson empress and the others are not easy to disturb.

"This is, is there any happy event for the local people?"

After putting down the books, Li Shimin realized that after eating for an hour, his stomach would actually be very hungry. It turned out that he hadn't eaten anything at all.

"No, it's time for the common people to dance. They have to dance until Haishi, oh, that's around 21 o'clock on the clock, and everyone will leave."

At this time, the sky was completely dark, it should be around [-] o'clock in the evening, just after the local people had eaten their bowls of rice and cleaned up their bowls and chopsticks, there were large lanterns hanging very high in the county town at night, not only in the urban area The people, the people in the surrounding villages, will also come here to dance, because it is more lively here, and there are more specialized musicians to accompany it.

"Really? Then let's go out to see the excitement." As soon as Li Shimin suggested, the eldest grandson and other concubines who had been in a panic in the dining room responded one after another. Soon, after Li Shimin took a few quick bites of food, he let the eldest grandson Chun led the way to the place where the people danced.

If most of you in the county are busy in an orderly manner during the day, then at night, the entire county becomes a sea of ​​joy. There are only more than 2000 permanent residents in the county. 3 people, in addition to the people who rushed over from the surrounding villages, there are also several factory workers who are off work. It is not a bath day. They generally do not return to their homes and live directly in the dormitories of the factories. At this point, they It is the main force of dancing.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The simple rhythm sounded in many empty places in the city, and the people from all over the place gathered towards the sound of gongs and drums. No one needed to organize them, and the people spontaneously formed a line. There are many people who don't participate in the dance, because they will always be enthusiastically drawn into the ranks by the dancers, and learn to dance with everyone, and then they find that dancing is so simple, it turns out that they don't need to be shy , afraid of making a fool of themselves, and finally, they also became a member of the dancing army.

"Hurry up and go to People's Square. I heard that Mrs. An Guo will lead the dance there today, and she can also sing. The dance I learned from her is the best..."

"I usually go to People's Square to dance! The musicians over there are very good, and the melodies they perform are not comparable to other places..."

"I heard that the level of the musicians in several other positions has also been trained. In order to prevent everyone from gathering in one place to dance, Mrs. An will not go to one place to dance every day. If we go to People's Square, we have to walk fast It’s time to go, and there are usually the most people there, but it’s too late, and there’s no place in the corner…”

On the street, a few women in different work clothes chattered non-stop, and didn't pay attention to Li Shimin and the others. Anyway, people who went to the street at this time were listening to music, dancing, and taking a leisurely walk, in small groups It's all too normal.

Li Shimin originally wanted to go to the nearest dance venue and forget it, but after listening to the conversation of those female workers, he changed his mind and said, "Why don't we go to People's Square too! Look at our dignified Tai Le Ling, what kind of shocking song and dance performances will be organized in this small Jiuyuan county."

Changsun Chun heard the words and said with a smile, "Tai Le Ling is amazing, she has a baby in her belly! She often comes out to teach people to dance. When she dances, she not only has tunes, but also sings with everyone. When the new song is released, everyone has the opportunity to hear her solo. The people are fascinated. I have been working in Jingzhou for more than half a year, and I have only listened to it twice. If your majesty is going, please follow me quickly. , there is really no place there."

Hearing this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also quickened their pace.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the People's Square in the center of the city, tens of thousands of people had already gathered here. In the middle of the square, there was a four-sided stage several square meters in size, which was only big enough for one or two people to dance. Well, at this time, Yu Xiu'er, who was wearing a moon white lace long-sleeved shirt and hakama, had already stood on the stage. Her belly around April was slightly showing, but it didn't affect her dancing temperament.

"Look at this movement, break it down, one click, two clicks, three clicks, turn around and do it again, isn't it very simple?"

"We remember, we can start."

Yu Xiuer should have explained on the stage for a while before, but when she asked, the people who followed her all responded, and then she waved to the people, "Then, let's go along with the music now, Don’t panic if you make a mistake, just follow the imitation slowly, and you will be able to dance smoothly in a few days at most.”

The musician got the signal from her eyes and started to play the instrument.

Like many foreign visitors who came to Jiuyuan County for the first time, Li Shimin just watched everyone dance from a distance. He had already seen this kind of scene of tens of thousands of people dancing, and it didn't cause much visual stimulation for him, so, What he paid more attention to was the mental state of the people who came to learn how to dance. The satisfaction on their faces was hard to pretend.

A melodious flute sounded the prelude, and Yu Xiuer took the lead in slowly dancing on the stage, and the common people in the audience followed her movements one after another. Li Shimin could tell that this was a gentle and feminine dance, but, Many men are also standing in the queue to study, and they don't feel ashamed at all.

"Cut a period of time to flow slowly, flow into the moonlight and rippling slightly, play a piece of Xiaohe's faint incense, the beautiful sound of the piano falls beside me..."

As soon as Yu Xiuer's song started, a large group of people spontaneously began to sing along, and then, it inevitably evolved into a chorus. There were also people who sang and danced well, which attracted many people around them to study nearby. In short, everyone just followed the music, singing, singing and dancing happily. Li Shimin still wanted to walk around the square more, but he didn’t want to. The eldest grandson empress dressed as an ordinary woman was stopped by an aunt.

"This aunt must be from another place! Seeing that you are round and smooth, I'm afraid your body is not light. Come and learn to dance with us. If you dance for a while, your whole body will be lighter and you won't be out of breath when you do things. , Sleeping will be much better, and minor illnesses and pains will definitely be much less..."

"Uh, this..."

Suddenly encountering such a thing, Empress Changsun was a little dazed, but who knows, the aunt became more enthusiastic when she saw her hesitation, and said, "It doesn't matter, this dance is very simple to learn, and it looks good when you dance it. Yes, you guys are here too! There is a special venue here for newcomers to learn. After you learn it, you can dance by yourself or teach others when you go back to your hometown. By the way, you can call me Aunt Jia , I am the women's director who is in charge of several blocks around People's Square. Let me tell you, this woman! Don't be too fat. Doctor Zhen said in the civil studies class that being too fat is easy to get sick, so exercise more. Sweating a lot..."

All right!The phrase "beads and jades" used by affectionate people at the beginning is a compliment. The director of the district women is responding to Zhen Yizheng's call to promote weight loss. The locals have been promoted by him. Not going to let it go.

Li Shimin was amused by this enthusiastic woman, and pushed the secret guard who approached slowly. He wanted to deal with the situation, and gave Empress Changsun an encouraging look. , already taller, plus she has been pampered in the court all the time, and has given birth to several children, so it's no wonder she isn't fat.

It's just that she belongs to the type that looks good even when she's fat. Seeing Li Shimin's eyes, Empress Changsun, who also danced in the early years, didn't want to be underestimated by him. The imperial concubine followed the lady director Jia and left the dance floor.

Li Shimin hasn't seen Empress Changsun dance for many years, and is planning to find a piece of land to enjoy it!The shoulder was patted.

"Brother, your body is not light! If you want to be strong and powerful, and have many children and grandchildren, you need to exercise more,..."

All right!This time, not only Empress Changsun, but also Li Shimin and Changsun Chun were mobilized off the dance floor. In the end, even the secret guards were forced to hide by these square dance promoters, and they were almost poisoned. Like a luminous body!He is just so influential.
