Chapter 1051 Imperial Tutor
Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with the children's behavior of asking about prices, which can truly reflect many conditions in Beijing, which is a means of understanding people's feelings, and can analyze many things from simple prices.
Although a family of five people came out to eat, they didn't order too much food, a few cold dishes in line with the season, plus some stir-fried vegetables and roasted vegetables, and finally some desserts are the meals of the five people of the heavenly family.
Xiao Si in Qingfeng Building did not look down on these people because of the food in front of him, although the food was not very luxurious or expensive, but Xiao Si gave a thumbs up in secret, the family ............ So good at ordering!
The dishes are rich and comprehensive, and there are meat and vegetables, most of the vegetables are seasonal vegetables, and the meat dishes are not big meat but with some vegetables, this table can only be said to complement each other! Even the officials of the two provinces don't have this family to order!
What's even more unexpected is that the guests in this box don't let themselves serve on the side, this is still a situation that has never been encountered, Xiao Si is puzzled, why don't these powerful people's own superior people let themselves pour wine and food on the side?
Zhao Zhen is used to eating together with his family, what's wrong with pouring food and wine by himself? It is called eating by doing what you do, and when you open your mouth when you eat, you are disabled...... Besides, I have a son who pours wine, and my wife picks vegetables, so what do you want an outsider to do!
The more royal the more you must develop good habits, Zhao Zhen wants to train children to know what a real Chinese nobleman is, "fragrant soup bathing, eating with the taste of ointment, decorated with embroidered clothes, teaching etiquette, such a person is a nobleman."
China's aristocracy is thousands of years earlier than Europe, and in the dark ages when Europeans were still barbaric, there were already etiquette numbers in China, and gentlemen naturally did not lack nobles, of course, these nobles were not those nouveau riche families.
The real aristocracy inherits the family of literature and education, takes cultivation and reading as a companion, and acts with benevolence, although they will take into account their own interests, but they will not be ashamed of their virtues, and there are really so many noble families that make Zhao Zhen awe-inspired.
The so-called aristocracy does not refer to those clans, to be honest, they are also nobles in Europe, but in the Great Song Dynasty, in the eyes of Zhao Zhen, it is not good, because more or less these clans are eating the soft rice of the Great Song Dynasty, even if there are a few who do not rely on Yin En, there are very few, and it is also for their own lintels to look better.
There are few people in these clans who are really for the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen once tried in the army, and the final result was almost all for the lintel of his own home, hoping to fight for a good future for future generations.
This is true, who doesn't want to think about their children and grandchildren? A man who even loves his own family, do you expect him to love his country? But what Zhao Zhen needs is the kind of person who can put the imperial court and the Great Song Dynasty first.
For no other reason, Zhao Zhen needed a clan to lead the troops north, and he also needed a clan to transport troops to Zhou of the Wa Kingdom.
Among the foreign ministers and generals, he trusted only Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu the most, not even Yang Huaiyu was not 100% convinced, because he was from Jiangmen and from the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion.
This Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty was likely to be the last Northern Expedition, and once the Liao Dynasty's Shangjing Road was captured, the entire Liao Dynasty would fall apart, and no one knew better than Zhao Zhen how quickly an empire ruled by a nomad would collapse.
Although the Liao Dynasty has been sinicized, he is still unwilling to give up everything that the nomads have, and even retains the slavery system, which means that the feudal system of the Liao Dynasty is imperfect, and compared with the system of the Great Song Dynasty, its shortcomings are immediately dwarfed.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, if the Liao Dynasty is an independent dynasty, it is nothing in the world, but the Great Song Dynasty is beside him, and it is constantly advancing, developing, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are running around the Liao Dynasty, and the goods of the Great Song Dynasty are also sold to all parts of the Liao Dynasty.
The Liao people sometimes even knew more about the life of the Great Song Dynasty than the Song people themselves, they knew how much the wages in the Great Song Dynasty were, what commodities in the Great Song Dynasty were most useful to them, and even knew which city in the Great Song Dynasty they should go to if they couldn't survive in the Liao Dynasty............
After finishing the meal, Zhao Zhen took the tea and rinsed his mouth, eating without saying a word is a good and uncomfortable habit, if Wang Yuyan is not there, Zhao Zhen will never eat so honestly, and the same is true for the children.
It's just that if there is a queen, once Zhao Zhen acts recklessly, Wang Yuyan will fulfill the rights of the queen and constantly admonish him: "As a king, can you be rude?!" Until Zhao Zhen was tired and helpless to comply.
I did a good job today, and after coughing lightly, Zhao Zhen said: "After going back today, everyone will write an article, and the content of the article is what you have seen and heard today, and what you have found from it." Big or small, as long as there is something to gain, I will look at this thing when I take the school exam for you the day after tomorrow. ”
The three children stared at each other with big eyes, and finally got up and saluted: "The son obeys the will of his father!" ”
This is not the first time, they have already been mentally prepared, and Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Let's all go play!" Feel free to walk around Beijing in the afternoon, but don't deliberately get rid of the guards and masters, if you let me know, you will be grounded for a month! ”
"Yes, Father."
For these children, the most annoying thing is that when they play in the city of Beijing, they will be accompanied by the people of the Guardian Division, and the "masters" that their fathers have found for them are even more excessive, not allowing them to bully others, not allowing them to show their identity, and not allowing them to be traitors......
But everyone knows what the emperor hates, how can he use his reputation to do this kind of thing, since they came out, it is to give up the identity of the prince on their bodies, and travel in the city of Beijing like their peers.
Zhao Zhen smiled at Wang Yuyan after seeing the children leave: "I know that you will go to Biyaxuan to check the accounts today, go quickly!" ”
Wang Yuyan sighed and said: "Why should the official family avoid the important and take it lightly, Bi Yaxuan's account ministers and concubines are the same, anyway, in the end, a large part of it will be removed by the third division, and these children will really benefit from it as the official family said?" ”
Zhao Zhen looked at the backs of the children who disappeared into the crowd and nodded slightly: "Yes, definitely, this Beijing city is a huge academy, in which people will learn different knowledge, truths, and even wisdom every day."
Did you know? I will not restrict them to go anywhere, the good and the bad, all the three religions and the nine streams can be contacted, so that they can see the truth of the world. ”
Seeing Wang Yuyan's surprised eyes, Zhao Zhen waved his hand slightly and spoke again: "Only by letting them see the essence of this world can they understand the truth, especially Xu'er, he must know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, otherwise he can only be a waste that even the king of Shoucheng can't do...... Anyone can be a waste, but he can't. ”
