Chapter 1121: Jingyang full of knowledge
Chapter 1121 Jingyang full of knowledge
Zhang Gongjin didn't know how to explain whether Li Zheng was covering up his eyes or not.
Taking Li Shimin out of the academy, Zhang Gongjin introduced the various changes in the village today.
After walking out of the academy, Li Shimin asked: "Didn't Qingque be the head of Jingyang Academy?
Why didn't I see him?"
Zhang Gongjin explained: "At this time, His Highness King of Wei should clean the horse circle with Li Zheng."
"Horse ring?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin looked at the academy behind him, "He swept the horse circle?"
Zhang Gongjin nodded and said, "Li Zhengmei said that she was helping His Highness the King of Wei lose weight."
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. This guy Qingque is really not capable of controlling this academy."
Zhang Gongjin whispered: "Your Majesty, this may not be necessary. People can be trained. No one knows what the King of Wei will look like in the future. Moreover, in terms of dealing with people, His Highness King of Wei and Li Zheng are close friends, His Highness King of Wei is also the first person to come into contact with science. In addition, the King of Wei is His Highness the child of His Highness King of Wei. From these two points, His Highness King of Wei is indeed the most suitable candidate."
This sounds a bit complimentary. Zhang Gongjin is a smart person. He can make the complimentary words reasonable and evidence-based, which makes people unable to refute.
According to what Zhang Gongjin said, Li Tai is indeed the most suitable person to stay in Jingyang Academy.
Apart from that hypocritical compliment, Zhang Gongjin's words sounded much more comfortable.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "I know very well how much my son has."
Zhang Gongjin followed Li Shimin's footsteps and said, "You might as well observe more years and months, and you can see one or two."
His pace still did not stop, and Li Shimin said again: "Since Li Tai is in charge of Jingyang Academy, it is impossible for him to restrain Li Zheng, and he may even become a hostage to Li Zheng. The prince is under pressure."
Zhang Gongjin said again: "If the King of Wei is not in the academy, can Your Majesty feel at ease here?"
This made Li Shimin speechless again. He glanced at Zhang Gongjin and said, "It's really unpleasant to talk to you smart people."
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said, "Your Majesty should give His Highness the King of Wei a little more time. Besides, it is not the King of Wei, but His Majesty to restrain Li Zheng."
The king and his minister followed, and there was a field to the south of the village.
The fields here are invisible at a glance, and two-thirds of the land in Jingyang are used to grow grain.
And this was also developed by Li Zheng at the time.
Who could have thought that these wastelands could still produce food?
Zhang Gongjin picked a tomato from the field and handed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took a bite of tomato and said, "Li Zheng always likes to grow these strange things."
Zhang Gongjin said: "This kind of crop is a bit difficult to control pests, and it is not that it cannot be grown or it is very troublesome."
As he spoke, Zhang Gongjin handed Li Shimin another cucumber, "I like this more, I can cook or serve as a snack."
After eating tomatoes, Li Shimin started eating cucumbers again. I have to say that this cucumber tastes very refreshing.
Li Shimin saw an old farmer sitting by the edge of the field, writing and painting on the ground.
When he got closer, Li Shimin found that they were actually doing math problems.
I was curious, and Li Shimin didn't ask much. After walking for a while, I saw several women who could write skillfully and fluently.
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Zhang Gongjin.
Mr. Zhang said in confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Li Shimin said curiously: "The villagers in Jingyang can write and read."
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said, "The villagers here have nothing to talk about when they are idle. They will go to Jingyang to discuss things in the academy, and often sit together to talk about how to write and read, and they will unknowingly."
Stuck in place, Li Shimin said, "Is this the same thing in other counties in the Central Plains?"
Zhang Gongjin said: "There are ten people who cannot read in the Central Plains counties."
Li Shimin sighed, "There are so many people in the Central Plains who cannot read. The old peasants in Jingyang can do numerology, and women can read and write?"
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this matter starts with some things in the academy. I don't know who came from the academy. I just say that if you can't read, you can't read books, and you will easily be deceived. Often, when you are illiterate, you don't even know what the other party wrote."
When Li Shimin heard this, he also smiled, "Jingyang is really unique."
Zhang Gongjin nodded and said, "Jingyang is indeed different. The biggest difference is that the whole Jingyang is full of knowledge. Men, women, young and old will read Jingyang magazines when they are free, and they will also have some mathematical techniques. After all, these are also helpful to their lives. Even though some old farmers are too late to learn calligraphy, they can still write their own names."
"And Jingyang has a very unique place, and may be guided by the outside world."
Li Shimin frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Gongjin bowed and said, "Girls in Jingyang can also study in academy. Moreover, the girls in Jingyang have been over 16 years old and have not yet gotten married. The first one to marry is over 20 years old. Instead, these girls like to study even more."
Li Shimin said curiously: "Girls will be hard to marry when they are old."
Zhang Gongjin shook his head and said, "I think it's not the case. The husband and wife's life are suitable for husband and wife. Most of the women in Jingyang work in workshops. Moreover, because of Princess Changle, Princess Changle has now become a role model for many girls in Jingyang. They are reading and literate, and are smart. They can even run a shop alone to support their families when they get married."
"A girl with such ability is very popular outside. Many people think that marrying a girl is just to add incense to their family, or that this girl has a good figure, but it is different in Jingyang. If someone marrys a girl from Jingyang, he will not only get a generous dowry, but also a woman's ability."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin remembered Gao Yang now.
What Gao Yang did really gave Li Shimin a headache.
However, Gao Yang did make achievements.
And it cannot be denied such a great benefit.
Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, "This is the first time I have heard of it."
Zhang Gongjin said: "There are not many Jingyang girls who have been married in the past two years. I feel that as the people's wisdom improves, the age of marriage for men and women will also increase."
Today's Tang Dynasty is still short of population, Li Shimin thought to himself, "If everyone outside is like Jingyang, will the population of the Tang Dynasty become smaller and smaller?"
Zhang Gongjin said: "Not that, the increase in people's intelligence will only make the people of the Central Plains smarter, and they will still have children if they should have children. I think it will not affect the country's major plans."
