Chapter 129: Annoying the King
Li Zhi’s idea was very simple. The more powerful the horse he was, the more he wanted to tame it. Didn’t Li San be ungrateful and refused to become an official? Then I would trick him into the palace and serve him as an imperial chef.
Just as his beloved concubine Wu once tamed a BMW from his father Taizong, Wu once told Taizong that she could tame the horse as long as she gave her three things. She would tame the horse, a leather whip, an iron rod, and a dagger. She would beat it with an iron whip. If she didn't accept it, she would knock its head with an iron rod. If she didn't accept it, she would cut its throat with a dagger.
If you don’t agree, you have to beat it.
However, Wu's words were too ruthless and did not get favor from Taizong because of this, because Li Shimin heard Wu Zetian's ruthlessness. Li Zhi's temperament was actually not as ruthless as Wu's, although Li Zhi was quite powerful when he became ruthless.
But at this time, at least he had never thought that he would beat Li Xiao to death if he was not convinced.
But he obviously underestimated Li Xiao.
Although Li Xiao needs several teachers at this time, he will not be a chef in other people's house. If it is okay to cook a meal, but if it is said that he is a chef in other people's house for a month, or even longer, there is no one in the door.
Without Butcher Zhang, you don’t have to eat a pig with hair.
Without him, Wang Dalang, wouldn’t there be Xue Wulang and Liu Silang?
Li Xiao didn't want to be an official because he was unwilling to be restrained, and he was also afraid of the officialdom of this era. Without that strength, he would not rashly enter that circle.
How could a person who is unwilling to be a chef for others if he is not even bound by the officialdom?
What's more, the status of chefs these days is very low.
He, Li Xiao, is also a landlord after all.

"No."
Li Xiao shook his head.
Seeing Li Xiao like this, Li Zhi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Why, didn't you just say you wanted to benefit the country and teach your neighbors? Why now, you are not willing to pay even this little effort."
Li Xiao chuckled twice, "All the great roads lead to Chang'an, and I don't have to follow your path. If you really want to help, don't bring so many conditions. Requesting rewards with gratitude is not a clever move."
He looked down on Li Zhi's character and even gave him a look of contempt.
Li Zhi has never received such treatment.
The dignified emperor was actually said to have a problem with character and was despised.
Is it tolerable, who can't bear it?
Cheng Boxian and others were even more frightened. Li Sanlang was too brave and dared to say anything.
Just when everyone thought Li Zhi was furious, Li Zhi laughed.
"Hahaha, that's right. How could I be such a person? I was just joking with you just now. I'm just a few gentlemen. I'll invite you to come in the future. Don't you want four gentlemen? I'll invite you ten."
"Are you serious?" Li Xiao asked with his eyebrows raised.
"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse." Li Zhi said unhappily. He could not get involved with a villain all day long, otherwise it would be him who would be embarrassed if it spreads out.
Li Xiao said again, "There are no other conditions attached?"
"No."
"Oh, then I'll thank Wang Langjun. Although it's enough for me to have four gentlemen, since Wang Langjun is so strongly helping, then ten are fine."
He looks like he has to behave well when he gets cheaper, and he will be more annoyed as Li Zhi will be.
"I think it's too much? Then forget it." Li Zhi snorted.
"Not too many, no matter how many, there are 160 students, ten gentlemen, there are really not many. It's good to have more gentlemen, it's just right for moral, sports, physical, intellectual and aesthetics to develop comprehensively, and we will carry out quality education."
Li Zhi was shocked and stunned. He was just enlightened. He also talked about the comprehensive development of moral, sports, physical, intellectual and aesthetics, and quality education. He never heard of this.
"Where do you think? Children are just teaching them to read and write, right?"
Li Xiao shook his head.
That's not to say. Since he has established the brand of Lanxi Academy, he must run the school seriously. As a modern time traveler, he opposes the simple enlightenment education in ancient times.
Although he did not like the test-oriented education that later generations did not like, although the later generations had shortcomings, they were definitely more advanced than the elementary education of this era.
Where can I read a book? I can only learn a thousand-character text when I shake my head.
"Our Lanxi Academy aims to teach and educate people. As the saying goes, ten years of trees and a hundred years of cultivation will bring benefits to the present and the future. Children are like a piece of white paper. When we come to the academy for education, we have to teach them good knowledge."
"Lanxi Academy not only teaches children the enlightenment books such as Thousand Characters, teaches them to recognize words and calligraphy, but also teaches them arithmetic, and even teaches them some simple study of things and knowledge, as well as art paintings, musical instruments, etc., and also teaches them sports and even some basic agronomic knowledge."
Li Zhi was confused when he heard this.
This Lanxi Academy only contains a group of six or seven-year-old children. If you don’t teach you some simple literacy and writing, what can you do?
"Knowledge is not only the quotes of sages, but also other things, such as manufacturing of vocations, agronomy and other skills, which are all knowledge. I hope that even if the children who graduated from Lanxi Academy for six years will not continue to study, they will have more skills when they leave the Academy."
"Not all scholars can eventually become officials or officials, so what are the remaining scholars? Everyone can only think about squeezing that single-plank bridge and walking on that narrow road. There are thousands of roads in the world. If you don't become an official or an official, you can do other things."
These words surprised Li Zhi again.
Even in the cognition of the emperor, studying is not just to be an official one day, and if you can’t become an official, you will be an official. If anyone only wants to farm, work and do business, then do you still need to study hard?
Reading is to prepare for being an official.
Teaching should be for this, and it is not in this direction from the beginning.
Originally, Li Xiao's poem was inferior to everything, but he had high school studies, and had a farmer in the morning and climbed to the emperor's hall in the evening, which made Li Zhi very much like it.
But now Li Xiao has made another set of fallacies, which is simply playing the piano randomly.
This guy is always unexpected everywhere.
Although the imperial court also had various subject examinations in the imperial examinations, such as Ming Jing, Ming Fa, Ming Sutra, etc., which specializes in teaching calligraphy, arithmetic, law, etc., Li Zhi just felt that Li Xiao even had to do a comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, sports and beauty in elementary school, which was a bit nonsense.
Seeing that Li Zhi was unhappy, Wu said on the side, "Since Li Sanlang said that, he must have thought about it. Since his husband promised to invite ten gentlemen for him, he might as well invite people for him. As for how to teach the academy, this is the decision of the academy director himself."
Wu's words meant that Lanxi Academy abandoned it was just a mountain village of elementary school. Why did the emperor have to be as knowledgeable as Li Xiao and argue with his shortcomings. It was meaningless to win and lose.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi nodded, "Well, I will invite someone back and I will have something to do today, so I will say goodbye first."
Li Xiao bowed and smiled, "No."
"snort."
