Chapter 695: Li Ke is here
"What's the matter?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard Princess Pingyang's words, and then asked with some surprise, Li Ke's mother, Concubine Yang, he hadn't seen it, but Princess Pingyang just met her today, and she also took the initiative to give the secret recipe in the palace to Princess Pingyang, and what was even more coincidental was that Li Xiu had just met Li Ke when he was hunting before, which made him vaguely seem to guess something.

"That's the case, Concubine Yang heard that Cheng Qian and Tai'er both studied with her husband, and Ke'er just reached the age of studying, so she wanted Ke'er to also worship her husband as a teacher, although this is a good thing, but I think Concubine Yang's purpose is probably not so simple, so she didn't agree for her husband." Princess Pingyang frowned lightly at this time.
Li Shimin's sons grew up slowly, although Li Chengqian was made the crown prince early, but other princes may not have any ideas about the throne, especially Li Ke is still one of Li Shimin's favorite children, naturally more conspicuous than other princes. Although Princess Pingyang hates Li Shimin and is unwilling to take care of his family's affairs, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand these things.
"I see, I have also seen this kid Li Ke, he is indeed very smart, if he is really willing to study with me, I don't mind having one more student." Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.
"Does the husband really want to accept Ke'er as a student?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Li Xiu's answer, even she could see that Concubine Yang's mother and son's motives might be a little impure, and Li Xiu would definitely be able to see it, with her understanding of Li Xiu, he should not like these troublesome things the most.
"Hehe, Xiuning, don't think too complicated, just teach a student, and Li Ke didn't say that he wanted to worship me as a teacher, so it's a little too early for us to think about this now." Li Xiu smiled freely at this time, and seemed to have not paid any attention to this matter.
Husband and wife for many years, Princess Pingyang also has great trust in Li Xiu, since she heard him say so, she also put this matter aside, anyway, Li Xiu is measured, let him deal with this matter, he just needs to be a good wife and mother at home, of course, the most important thing now is to have another child.
Early the next morning, Li Xiu came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture to take a turn, Yang Dui and they had long been ready to introduce cotton, at this time as soon as they saw Li Xiu, they immediately asked about cotton, Li Xiu could only let them wait, in fact, Ma Ye also assured Li Xiu that he would definitely be able to get cotton seeds within this year.
Li Xiu stayed in the Ministry of Agriculture for a while, and then walked to the school next to it, just came to the front of the gate, he heard the sound of reading in the school, and even some small vendors appeared in front of the school, it seems that they also saw the power of the student consumer group.
A year has passed, the first batch of students in the school have been studying for a year, and now they have completed the basic education, and now they have been promoted to the second grade students, in addition to the most mathematics and Chinese, they have also begun to teach other courses, such as Sun Simiao's basic medical course, which can teach children some basic health and medical knowledge, and Sun Simiao has also selected a good student, and usually follows Sun Simiao to learn more in-depth medical skills.
In addition, the school has recruited a group of students this year, but compared with last year, this year's students have not increased but decreased, and it has decreased by more than half, only more than 100 people have been enrolled, Li Xiu has long been mentally prepared for this, after all, last year, the school was able to receive more than 400 people at once, mainly because all the school-age students under the age of fifteen were all received in the school, and the effect of student learning has not yet appeared, so it is normal for the students in the school to decline.
At that moment, Li Xiu just wanted to step into the school hall and take a turn, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when Li Xiu turned his head, he found that a team of people and horses were galloping over, and the first person turned out to be an eleven or twelve-year-old child, who was Li Ke who asked Li Xiu for advice during the hunting that day.
Yesterday, Princess Pingyang mentioned that Concubine Yang wanted Li Ke to worship Li Xiu as a teacher, but today Li Ke came, which made Li Xiu a little surprised, but his face was indifferent, and then he saw Li Ke's horse come to Li Xiu's approach, and immediately flew off the horse and saluted Li Xiu and said: "Li Ke greets the Duke of the Kingdom!" ”
"Don't be polite, there are many pedestrians on the road, and you, as a prince, gallop on the road, even if you don't hit anyone, it will damage the reputation of the royal family, do you understand this?" Li Xiu looked at Li Ke for a moment, and then opened his mouth to teach a lesson.
"The lesson of Guogong is that Li Ke is young and ignorant, and he asks Guogong to forgive his sins!" Li Ke couldn't help but be a little flustered when he heard Li Xiu's lesson, he just saw Li Xiu in a hurry to see each other, so he didn't control his speed for a while.
"Well, it's good if you can remember it, and don't do it again in the future!" Li Xiu nodded immediately, and then spoke again, "King Shu, shouldn't you be studying in the mansion now, why do you have time to run outside the city?" ”
"That's right, I'...... I encountered a few problems when I was studying, so I wanted to ask Guogong for advice! Li Ke's face turned slightly red at this time, in fact, he didn't come to Li Xiu simply to ask questions, but was forced by his mother to come, but he was still a child, and he hadn't learned the skill of not changing his face when lying.
Li Xiu could naturally see Li Ke's weakness, but he smiled indifferently and said: "It's a good thing to have a desire to learn, let's go, we can talk while walking!" ”
Li Xiu said and turned around and entered the school, Li Ke also hurriedly followed, but he did not immediately ask Li Xiu for advice, but was attracted by the situation in the school, especially when he heard the sound of reading in various classrooms, he felt very curious, stretched his neck to see the situation in the classroom, but his height had not grown taller, even if he stood on tiptoe.
"Guogong, what kind of place is this, and why are so many people studying?" Li Ke couldn't see the situation in the classroom, and immediately turned to Li Xiu to ask.
"It's called Xinzhu School, which I built to let the children around me study, and it's similar to a private school, and there are now hundreds of students studying together." Li Xiu replied with a smile at this time.
"Hundreds of students? Wouldn't that be comparable to Guozijian? Li Ke couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he heard Li Xiu's words.
"The number is indeed about the same, but the students of Guozijian can become officials after they come out, but the students in my academy are not so blessed." Li Xiu saw Li Ke's shocked appearance, and he felt interesting at the moment, so he patiently talked about the situation in the school, but he didn't notice that Li Ke listened to his explanation, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
