Li Yi brought Li Longji and Empress Wang to see a few more places where the children were 'learning'.
The children in the village were of different ages and had different understandings of knowledge.
The children who progressed quickly played with the children who were about the same age, and the questions were more difficult.
Some of the children who had just joined the army at the end of last year had just learned a few additions and subtractions and memorized a few sentences of the Three Character Classic.
Naturally, they were very simple. They counted with their fingers to add up to ten, and they looked very serious.
The older children were slightly better at learning because they had the help of counting chips.
There were also those who were asked to memorize pinyin, recognize words, write a word, and so on.
Those who always answered incorrectly were angry with themselves and squatted down to draw circles.
Li Yi and the others always had a smile on their faces.
"How long will this class last?"
Li Longji looked at the little guy who was frowning there. He moved his little person to the back and flipped through the book and asked with a smile.
"The whole morning. Learn by yourself in the afternoon. There will be no new content for the next two days. During the holidays, all of you are playing like crazy and have forgotten most of the previous knowledge. "
Li Yi talked about the children's learning situation.
He was not too strict with the children's learning requirements. The only requirement was that they must be serious when learning.
There was a period of time every day when the children had to go to the toy room to play and run outside.
"Yes, it's easy to forget after learning. I was like that when I was young." Empress Wang used herself as an example.
After looking around, Empress Wang went to rest when they returned to the courtyard.
Li Longji drank tea and asked, "Brother Yi, do you know the difference between the lessons taught in the local family school and the official school?"
Li Yi looked at the teacup, "Just like me, Zhuangzi. The school is better than the official school. It teaches a variety of things, and at the same time, it guides people to do things."
"Yes!" Li Longji nodded.
"It's the problem of the teaching materials. There are some in use in the previous dynasty, but there aren't any new textbooks in this dynasty.
In addition, the teachers hired by the family school are more knowledgeable, while the local official school has no hope of promotion and is full of people who mess around all day.
The family school teaches interests, while the official school teaches Confucianism. The students in the official school are at a disadvantage. They can't win against the people from the family school in scheming. "
Li Yi analyzed the situation and laid it out.
Li Longji held the teacup and took small sips. After drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, his entire body felt refreshed.
He put down the teacup and looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi came up with his own idea. "First, we need to compile new teaching materials and add more strategies. In order to distinguish between the Confucian schools. "
"How do I write a new book?" Li Longji was worried. Writing a new book was very difficult.
"If Third Brother wants to give His Majesty advice, I can write down the Thirty-Six Stratagems. Gather the past stories and historical facts, and tell us how to apply the strategy. "
Li Yi decided to take one, a simple but interesting book.
"Oh? Can you name one or two? "Li Longji couldn't wait.
"The first plan is to deceive the heavens and cross the sea. If you are prepared, you will be lazy, but if you see it frequently, you will not be suspicious. Yin is within Yang, not opposite of Yang. The sun, the moon.
Write it based on the story of Emperor Taizong Xue Li. In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong personally led an army of 300,000 soldiers …
The Sui Dynasty attacked Chen, and the Sui Dynasty General He Ruo Bi was ordered to lead the defense of Jiang … "
Li Yi began to copy. He could copy any story from before.
"What a good strategy." Li Longji listened to the first stratagem and clapped his hands in praise. There was a story, a plan, and an explanation.
He rubbed his hands. "What's the second stratagem?"
"The second stratagem is to attack Wei to save Zhao. It's better to divide the enemy than to share the enemy, and it's better to attack Yang than Yin. Controlling the army is like controlling a flood. The sharp one avoids the sharp point, and it's like guiding the flow …
Zhao attacked Wei … King Wei ordered Pang Juan to attack Zhao … Sun Bin came up with a plan to attack Xiangling … "
Li Yi said the second stratagem. He didn't speak quickly, but he analyzed it carefully. After all, it was just copying, so it wasn't difficult.
"Good, good, attacking Wei to save Zhao is a good idea." Li Longji took a big gulp of tea.
He turned to look at Li Yi. "What's the third stratagem?"
"Let me think about it. It's already noon." Li Yi didn't want to say anymore. He was tired. He wrote it down and handed it to his third brother.
Li Longji wanted to continue, but nodded. It was indeed time to eat. The tea was cold, and he took a big gulp.
He was satisfied. As expected, coming to Zhuangzi to ask was the right thing to do. Asking the Prime Ministers was useless.
Looking at Brother Yi, he came up with ideas and books.
The two of them went out. Empress Wang was already sitting in the private room. They were eating duck for lunch.
Pieces of duck meat were placed on the table. It was still duck soup. Then there were cucumber strips, shredded onions, and braised and stir-fried duck innards.
Li Yi wasn't very willing to eat. The ducks were fat and oily.
The children loved to eat them. They washed their hands and rolled the duck meat and shredded onions into small pancakes.
She took small bites, and when she was satisfied, she pursed her lips and smiled.
The adults were the same. They ate slowly and carefully.
"Where did the head, neck, wings, and claws go?"
Empress Wang looked at the duck rack in the soup and then looked at the duck meat on the table. She discovered that something was missing.
"It's a snack and a side dish. Zhuangzi, adults also love to eat snacks. It's not just the little ones."
Li Yi glanced at Qing Song as he spoke. Qing Song left his seat.
A moment later, he brought over a plate. On the plate was something that Empress Wang didn't see.
"Yes, I also like to eat." Empress Wang reached out and grabbed a duck head. She began to gnaw on it without the help of a palace maid.
Li Longji's mouth moved. He wanted to say something, but stopped. He took a sip of the soup.
"Third brother, you're craving wine. How about you drink with me?" Li Yi said.
"Okay!" Li Longji agreed as soon as Li Yi finished speaking.
He wanted to drink wine, but he felt that he had to go back to work in the afternoon. He had to endure it.
"Get the brewed white wine. Three taels of wine." Li Yi asked Taohong to do it.
Li Longji nodded. One tael and a half each was not much.
If they drank wine, it would not match the dishes.
If they drank yellow wine, they would not be able to drink the soup after drinking a big bowl.
White wine was just right.
Empress Wang gnawed on half of the duck head and put it on the plate. She picked up a piece of paper and wiped her hands. "Where did uncle throw the pig, duck, and chicken feathers?"
She remembered that Zhuangzi ate good food every day. Where did the feathers of the poultry and livestock go?
"The pig's hair is used to make brushes. The duck's hair is placed separately. The wool is used to make clothes and bedding in winter. The chicken feathers and selected duck feathers are also used to make clothes, but the villagers don't wear them."
Li Yi gave the answer. It was not easy to choose the cloth outside to make down jackets with duck feathers. It was easy to leak the feathers.
Bad duck and chicken feathers were not suitable to make down jackets, but they could be put in clothes. It was better than wearing lined jackets.
So be it. Winter would be over when the hairs were leaking.
"Are the bad feathers for sale?" Li Longji asked.
"Send them to Grief Field Square for other people to wear." Li Yi wanted to donate something. The donation could not be too good. What if it was intercepted?
Li Longji nodded and did not say anything. There was no need to praise him anymore.
When the wine was ready, Li Longji took a sip and said, "The local family school will be taking books from the official school this time. The thirty-six stratagems are so good …"
Li Longji said and suddenly hesitated.
The thirty-six stratagems were good. He felt that two of them were good. There were still thirty-four left. He would give them to others to learn …
For a moment, he was reluctant.
