"This?" Gu Jie stopped his chopsticks and thought about it, slapped his thigh one at the last time, and said with a happy face, "Come to think of it, the teachers in our school are relatively old, although there are a few of them who have more daughters, but most of them are too old, and even if there is one occasionally, people may still use it, but Mr. Yu, who is in the same office as you, is old and strong, don't look at the sixty-year-old person, but he has eight daughters at once, three of them are between six and ten years old, the only pity is that there is no son, it is estimated that he is destined to have no children!" ”

"Teacher Yu?" Li Zhi was immediately a little deflated after hearing this, the old pedant surnamed Yu didn't like him in the first place, let alone let the other party borrow one of his daughters to complete his quota.

Gu Jie also remembered at this time that Teacher Yu and Li Zhi were a little wrong, in fact, the relationship between him and Teacher Yu was not good, mainly because of the other party's old-fashioned personality, and Gu Jie liked to brag, so neither of them liked anyone.

"Old man Yu is stinky and hard, Xiao Jiu, if you want to beg him, it is probably unlikely, but it doesn't matter, I know a lot of people with daughters in our town, I'll go back and help you make a list, you go one by one to persuade you, I still don't believe it, can't even find a female student in such a big town?" Gu Jie patted Li Zhi's shoulder and said.

However, Li Zhi was full of wry smiles when he heard it, he was not familiar with the life in Sugarcane Town, and it was already very rude to come to the door rashly, and he also had to persuade people to send his daughter to school and study with a group of stinky boys, the difficulty of this task was not ordinary, and even Li Zhi had already considered whether he would exercise first to recover his physical fitness when he worked before. lest when others chase him and fight, he can't outrun others.

I finished my lunch with trepidation. Then Li Zhi took two more classes, and waited until the end of school. Sure enough, Principal Hu now had a meeting with everyone, and then announced that he would recruit female students and allocate a place to each teacher. The teachers in the school had already received the news before, and they also knew that it was useless to object, so they all agreed weakly.

Principal Hu, who had a face full of Chinese characters and was full of righteousness, and he couldn't tell that he was an official fan at all, swept everyone, and finally spoke: "I know that this matter makes everyone very embarrassed, but this is a decree personally issued by His Royal Highness King Qi." In order to show the principal's support for this decree, I have decided to send my daughter to the school, and I will personally recruit another female student, I hope you will also learn from the principal and strive to recruit more girls! ”

After Principal Hu finished his last words, he immediately dismissed the meeting, while Li Zhi sighed silently. Li Zhi can be said to know this headmaster who is determined to climb up, and the other party is taking this opportunity to show his ability, and the more female students their school can find. Then he will have a chance to attract the attention of the superiors, and then this Principal Hu may really be promoted, and it seems that the quota he allocated must be completed.

In fact, it has been almost ten months since Li Zhi came out. In two months, it will be a year, according to the agreement between him and Li Shimin. At that time, he will return to Chang'an, so can he complete the tasks assigned by the school. It doesn't matter to him anymore, but Li Zhi feels that since he is a teacher in the school, as long as he doesn't leave for a day, he must try his best to do his job well, even if this matter is forced down by the top, he must complete it seriously, which is the true meaning of seeking government in it.

It's just that Li Zhi and the teachers in the school didn't expect that the day after the opening, Principal Hu brought his daughter to the school, and said that he was familiar with the environment, in fact, Li Zhi knew that this was Principal Hu's attitude of eagerly expressing his support for this decree to the head, it seems that this upright Principal Hu is really an out-and-out official fan.

After a few more days, Gu Jie handed over the list he had compiled to Li Zhi, and told him that he had screened these lists, and that some people who would definitely not let their daughters go to school had been removed by him, and although there were not many left, there was hope to convince them.

Li Zhi took a look at the list and found that Gu Jie had really put a lot of effort into it, the list not only listed the family members of each family, but also made a brief introduction to the family status of these families, and Li Zhi found that these listed families have generally seen the world and are more open-minded, so it should be easier to accept new things.

And just when Li Zhi was struggling for a female student quota, Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang'an, was sitting alone in the study, on the bookcase in front of him, there was a sandalwood box, the box had been opened, and there was a thick stack of paper inside, which was full of words, Li Shimin was taking it out one by one and reading it carefully, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling, and occasionally nodding with great satisfaction.

This sandalwood box was sent from Taiwan by Li Su, and most of them were sent by waterway, first from Taiwan to Shanghai, then from Shanghai to Yangzhou, after entering the Grand Canal, all the way north into the Yellow River, and then westward to Zhengzhou, and finally to Chang'an, and when taking the waterway, all of them were steam ships with extremely fast speed, so this sandalwood box was delivered to Li Shimin's hands in only a short time.

There are a lot of contents in the box, all of which are Li Zhi's words and deeds in various places after he went to sea, all of which were recorded in detail by Li Su's people, and then sent to Li Su, who personally sorted out and stored them, until Li Zhi's one-year period was about to end, he sent this sandalwood box to Li Shimin's hands, so as to let Li Shimin know what Li Zhi had experienced in the past year, and the impact of these things on Li Zhi.

Li Shimin was naturally very interested in the contents of the box, and even pushed out some of today's recitals for this reason, and then took this time to read carefully. Especially when he saw that Li Zhi actually entered the shipyard to be a porter under Li Su's arrangement, a smile appeared on his face.

As a father, Li Shimin naturally doesn't want his children to suffer, but as an emperor, for the sake of his own country, he is very willing to let Li Zhi suffer a little, because he knows that only by letting Li Zhi suffer enough and experience the hardships and joys of ordinary people can he have the opportunity to become a wise emperor in the future.

Next, when Li Shimin saw Li Zhi's life in the factory, especially helping others fight with his co-workers, and later took the initiative to enter the factory school to help those workers become literate, Li Shimin's face was even more gratified.

"Hey, this kid really thinks of teaching as a career?" When he saw that Li Zhi quit his factory job and then entered Taiwan's education system as a teacher, Li Shimin couldn't help but say to himself with some surprise.

Speaking of which, among Li Shimin's sons, Li Tai should be the most fond of reading, followed by Li Shen and Li Ke, as for Li Zhi, Li Su and Li Zhen and others, all of them belong to people who don't like or even hate reading, but after Li Zhi became the prince, although he didn't like to read, he knew that it was his responsibility, so he still forced himself to study.

And when Li Shimin saw Li Zhi teaching workers to read and write in the factory school, he just thought that Li Zhi was on a whim, but he didn't expect that he would actually go to work as a teacher and teach other people's children to read, which naturally surprised Li Shimin.

However, what surprised Li Shimin even more was still to come, because in the next record, Li Su also attached the report card of Li Zhi's class, and Li Shimin easily found that after Li Zhi taught those children, the grades of these children have improved significantly, and once in the competition with several other schools, they also won the first place, which does prove that Li Zhi really worked hard, otherwise he would never have achieved such good results.

Just when Li Shimin was looking at the information about Li Zhi very intently, suddenly there was a report from Huang Menyu outside: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiang asks to see you!" ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he pushed a lot of government affairs to Fang Xuanling today, generally speaking, if there was nothing too important, he should not come to ask for a meeting.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately spoke: "Please let him in!" ”

"No!"

The waiter at the Yellow Gate agreed, and after a while, he heard footsteps outside, and then the door of the study was opened, and Fang Xuanling, who had a white beard, bowed and walked in, and then saluted and said: "Old minister Fang Xuanling, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

"You don't have to be polite, why do you want to see me?" Li Shimin asked straight to the point. He still hasn't finished reading the information about Li Zhi to the last point, and after reading it, he still wants to take it to the Lizheng Palace, so that Empress Changsun can also see their son's performance, presumably she should also be very happy.

"Your Majesty, the Western Regions sent someone to send a song, before His Majesty ordered Tubo and the countries of the Western Regions to send troops to gather in Qiuci, among which the countries of the Western Regions that belong to our Tang Dynasty have begun to send troops, but Tubo has not moved, in the opinion of the old minister, the Tibetan male lord may be fighting some ghost idea again." Fang Xuanling squinted his eyes and smiled, it seemed that he had already seen through Songtsen Gampo's plan.

And Li Shimin also smiled after hearing this: "Songtsan Xiao'er is not dead to the thief of the Western Regions, it is nothing more than to let us fight with the Western Turks to lose both, he can take the opportunity to meddle in the Western Regions, it seems that the lesson given to them last time is still too light!" ”

"Your Majesty, Tubo is located on the plateau, and Songtsan Gampo is a wolf's ambition, and after my Tang Dynasty destroys the Western Turks, there will only be such a strong neighbor left, do you want to ......" Fang Xuanling's words were not finished, but the meaning was already very clear.

It's just that Li Shimin shook his head after hearing this: "Originally, with the performance of Tubo, coupled with the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, it was indeed necessary to destroy them, but now it has the need to keep it." (To be continued......)
