When the first batch of new students came to report after the new year, the Imperial College was filled with excitement. After everyone was settled, Li Yuanying found that only he was assigned to Tang Sui and the others, and the others were all assigned to the new students. Asked Tang Sui, Tang Sui didn't understand, so he could only help guess: "It's probably Kong Jijiu who knows how you've learned, and I'm afraid you'd be wasting your time going to other Zhaitangs."
Li Yuanying was very happy when he heard this, and felt that Lao Kong looked up to him, even though he wanted to have a separate class from Li Zhi and the others, he didn't think it was a big deal, so he happily followed Tang Sui to the dining room where they had classes.
Li Yuanying was a transfer student, so naturally he didn't have a seat in the front row, so he had to sit in the back row. Tang Su was afraid that Li Yuanying would be lonely, so he changed seats with someone else and sat next to Li Yuanying.
Others thought Tang Sui, a "little genius" who came from behind, was not pleasing to their eyes. When they saw him being so attentive to Li Yuanying, they secretly sneered. Rushing to please.
There were twenty-two sons of the Supreme Emperor, and besides those who died, there were more than a dozen who survived, all of which were sent to a certain place. Not to mention the sons of the Supreme Emperor, even the sons of His Majesty today, except for the three descendants, who can show their prestige
Look at the third prince, Li Ke, who clashed with a county magistrate after he went out, and he will be criticized by His Majesty Li Er! Therefore, they will be officials in the court in the future, so they don't have to be afraid of Li Yuanying at all, let alone degenerate themselves to cater to them.
Tang Xuan didn't pay attention to the mocking eyes of others. In his eyes, Li Yuanying was his friend, they were like-minded and they got along very well.
Li Yuanying had just arrived at the Imperial Academy, so he should help Li Yuanying adapt well, if he went to Li Yuanying's land, Li Yuanying would help him too! Isn't that what being a friend is supposed to do
Li Yuanying doesn't care much about what others think of him. Anyway, he has been a little devil since he was a child, and there are several batches of wives who have gone away in anger. This little hidden ridicule is just a little bit of rain for him!
Li Yuanying took out the new textbook that Tang Zhen asked him to bring, and said, "Just learn the Five Classics? Is it too little?"
The Five Classics refer to "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn".
"Poetry" naturally refers to the "Book of Songs". Reading and writing poems is an essential skill for scholars, so this must be learned.
Then there is "Book", which refers to "Shangshu", most of which are political documents handed down, and officials have to study them.
"Li" is the "Book of Rites", and scholars must follow it in their words and deeds.
"Yi" refers to the "Book of Changes", and it is also necessary to understand metaphysical knowledge.
"Spring and Autumn" is a chronological history book, because it is written according to spring, summer, autumn, and winter, so it is called "Spring and Autumn".
Tang Xuan answered him in a good-tempered manner: "I have learned a lot of the Five Classics, and many people may not be able to master them after a lifetime of study. I have read some books myself, but I have new insights after listening to the master's explanation, so even if It is the same book, but listening to different masters will give you different insights.”
Li Yuanying is a typical example of being soft and not hard, and after listening to Tang Sui's words, he will do it honestly and wait for his master to start the lecture.
The doctor of Guozijian who was in charge of Li Yuanying's Zhaitang was surnamed Ma, and his name was Ma Jiayun. He was over sixty years old, and he was a famous Confucianist in the world. When this Dr. Ma heard that the little demon king of the world was assigned to him, the alarm bell immediately sounded in his heart. Before he left the straight house, he even tidied up his Futou Haosheng twice, for fear that it would be distorted by Li Yuanying.
Dr. Ma went to the Zhaitang to see that Li Yuanying was sitting obediently in the back row, wearing the same clothes issued by the Imperial College, and he looked quite decent. Looking again, Tang Sui actually moved to the next door to Li Yuanying, Dr. Ma frowned.
There is a saying that it is easy to learn bad things and difficult to learn good ones. Dr. Ma was quite satisfied with Tang Sui not having close contact with those dudes before. Now seeing Tang Sui and Li Yuanying getting close, he was a little worried about this beloved apprentice he was optimistic about. But they were still young people, and Dr. Ma didn't say anything on the spot. He only paid special attention to Li Yuanying when he was giving lectures, to see if he would be as disruptive as some colleagues said.
Dr. Ma's lectures on "Book of Changes" are not boring at all. Although he is over sixty years old, his lectures are very humorous. He lived in seclusion in the mountains in his early years, and the examples he gave were mostly with a bit of mountain interest.
Li Yuanying's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he felt that the Imperial College was really good, at least Dr. Ma was very good, and he liked to listen to the lectures. Not only actively rushed to answer during class, but also dragged Tang Sui to stop Dr. Ma from asking questions after class.
Dr. Ma watched his words and deeds, and felt that although the young prince had the pride of the Li family, he was still a good student who was eager to learn. Zi said, there is no distinction between teaching and learning, but their evaluation of Li Yuanying is too preconceived and biased!
Dr. Ma answered Li Yuanying's questions one by one, and after returning home, he raised a few words with Jia Gongyan, the assistant teacher Jia Gongyan who led Li Yuanying's fasting hall together, saying that Li Yuanying is still capable of teaching.
Assistant Professor Jia went to the class behind Dr. Ma. He taught "Li", which is his old profession.
The "Book of Rites and Justice" in the unified textbook "Five Classics of Justice" that Kong Yingda was ordered to compile was edited by Assistant Professor Jia.
Although Li Yuanying studied the "Book of Rites" with Wei Zheng, just as Tang Sui said, different people will have different opinions, and the teaching assistant Jia is also different from Wei Zheng. Li Yuanying compared what he had learned with what Jia Assistant taught, and felt that he had indeed gained a new understanding of "Book of Rites".
Li Yuanying was tirelessly learning new knowledge here, and Kong Yingda was also found there.
It was Li Chengqian who found Kong Yingda, not someone else.
Li Chengqian also had no choice, Dong Xiaoyi came to the East Palace to ask for an interview, and said to Li Chengqian with snot and tears: "Our Highness is going to starve to death in the Imperial College!"
Li Chengqian thought, Fang Yizhi just came to tell him that his Uncle Yao went to the Imperial College and found the food was too unpalatable, so he refused to eat it, and ran to snatch the food box sent by someone else's house. Is his Uncle Yao a person who can starve to death? Starving others will not starve him to death! But Li Chengqian liked him as an uncle, so he kindly asked Dong Xiaoyi what he wanted to say, and just said it.
Dong Xiaoyi told him directly, he said that he was ordered to buy a restaurant with a lot of money, recruited a lot of good cooks, and planned to send a group of cooks to cook for the Imperial College every day. It must also be able to enter. He also thought about the specific explanation, and said that the owner of this restaurant is grateful to Guozijian for cultivating talents for Datang, and voluntarily contributes money to make these pillars of the country who are going to be ministers in the future eat and drink well, so that Guozijian will not spend an extra day. Divide the money, and let everyone eat good food! The only thing is, let their restaurant put up a signboard, saying that their dishes are exclusively for the Imperial College!
Dong Xiaoyi also showed Li Chengqian the plan that was obviously written by Li Yuanying. It said that the dishes served in the first hundred days were not the same every day. Li Yuanying called it "a hundred dishes tasting activity". It is said that food is the most important thing for the people, so knowing the eating habits of different places and what the common people eat and drink, isn’t that what the Imperial College students should do? This is called understanding people's livelihood and people's sentiments!
The entire event does not require the Imperial College to pay for it, only the students in the prison are allowed to vote for the dishes that they think are delicious. This is a piece of cake, and it doesn't take much effort. It is expected that everyone is willing.
After Li Chengqian understood Li Yuanying's complete plan, his expression was a little numb. His uncle really put in a lot of effort in order to be able to eat new tricks every day. He wondered if Li Yuanying had a plan in advance, or how could he come up with such a comprehensive plan in just half a day? ? Even after hearing this, he felt that he didn't care about the people and the people's livelihood because he often eats all over the world!
How can he say that with such an uncle
What can Li Chengqian do? Of course, Li Chengqian can only be a good nephew and talk to Kong Yingda about it immediately.
Kong Yingda was worried about the Guozijian all day today, for fear that there would be a big commotion when Li Yuanying entered. Most of the day passed, no one came to report the news, Kong Yingda was relieved but also inexplicably disappointed: It's really unaccustomed for the little devil in the world not to do something!
Before Kong Yingda could put his mind down to Xiaya, Li Chengqian came to find him, and told him the great thing about "good-hearted restaurants provide free food, and it will not be repeated for a hundred days".
When Kong Yingda heard it, he understood that he was waiting for him here.
If the owner of a restaurant really wants to do such a "benevolent act", can he follow Li Chengqian's path? Even if you think about it, you know it's impossible! Who is willing to pay a hundred days of food for nothing just to get the students of the Imperial College to vote? You must know that this is not a few hundred people, this is more than two thousand people! This is the original superintendent of the Guozijian, not counting the auditors and non-staff! Is this the money most people are willing to pay for nothing
Even on the Ministry of Households, it is very painful to save a sum of money every time to spend on the Guozijian. After all, this place generally has no income, and there is no income at all except for cultivating talents for the imperial court!
I also know that only Li Yuanying, who is not short of money, is willing to spend such money.
Kong Yingda felt that after he spent a few days, he should be able to know that it is not easy to feed and drink so many people, right
Kong Yingda thought about it for a moment, and felt that it was okay to settle the matter, as the left and right were not spending their own money, so she immediately said it was okay. He turned around and asked someone to convey this matter back to the Imperial College. If someone wants to send money, let him give it, and see who is crying then!
Li Chengqian finished what his Uncle Yao asked him to do, and also sent someone to send a message to Dong Xiaoyi. Dong Xiaoyi happily went back and told Liu Baolin about the matter, saying that Li Yuanying was used to it there, but the food was not tasty, but this problem has been resolved.
Liu Baolin heard that Dong Xiaoyi was going to a restaurant and invited many good chefs to cook "hundreds of dishes", so he took out the recipes he had compiled on weekdays and asked Dong Xiaoyi to choose what Li Yuanying liked and mix it in the daily meals, it didn't matter how much he spent , must let Li Yuanying eat well.
Liu Baolin is also the one who is not short of money, she has nowhere to spend the money in the palace, thinking that the weather has been very cold recently, so she asks Dong Xiaoyi to donate some more charcoal to the Imperial College. Liu Baolin came up with a plan according to Li Yuanying's plan on the spot: "Go out and buy more charcoal and stock it up. Let me tell you that you also sell charcoal. I want to see which kind of charcoal is good, and send them several kinds of charcoal in turn every day. , send it to spring and then break it."
Dong Xiaoyi calculated in his heart, and felt that their spending was too high this time. Fortunately, the sunflower seeds harvested last year sold for a lot of money!
When it comes to selling sunflower seeds, that was Li Yuanying's idea. Last year, Li Yuanying learned a word called "odd goods to live in". At first glance, besides the batch of sunflower seeds in the hands of His Majesty Li Er, he is the only one who owns these sunflower seeds. Isn't it just "odd goods"
Li Yuanying asked people to sell sunflower seeds, not one by one, but three by three! The three sunflower seeds are packaged in a beautiful package. They look elegant and beautiful. This is the unique "exotic product" in the whole capital.
At that time, the people below moved a few flowering sunflowers and placed them at the door as a signboard, and sent a special person to explain how novel and beautiful the sunflowers are, and how they follow the sun! These people have been with Li Yuanying all the year round, and they are the most eloquent, spreading the "sunflower spirit" abruptly. Many people have bought a copy to go back and wait for the next spring to plant it in order to get a good fortune.
In this way, the sunflowers produced by several Zhuangzi sold at prices unimaginable to many people! After all, can you count how many sunflower seeds that continuous sunflower can grow? Anyway, Dong Xiaoyi couldn't figure it out! All he knew was that the wives and mothers of the surrounding farmers lived a fat year by helping to pack sunflower seeds.
As a result, the money sold for "Sunflower Spirit" has not been warmed up, and it will be out so soon!
Dong Xiaoyi didn't know whether to admire Li Yuanying's ability to make money, or to admire Li Yuanying's ability to spend money.
Now is not the time to think about things, Dong Xiaoyi left the palace with the recipe given by Liu Baolin, and went to the restaurant to have people prepare dishes according to the number of students in the Imperial College and send them to the Imperial College to start working on dinner.
With such a large quantity, if it weren’t for the restaurants that are used to big banquets, they really wouldn’t be able to eat it. After a while of fuss, the new cooks managed to squeeze the original cooks who were dealing with the matter into the position of washing and cutting vegetables. With the first recipe, he began to prepare Li Yuanying's first dinner after arriving at the Imperial College.
In the evening, the supervising students of the Guozijian dragged their hungry feet towards the eating place, trying to rely on hunger to ignore the taste of food as usual. As a result, just after walking a certain distance, they smelled a tempting aroma of food.
who is it? Which goddamn dude asked someone to give them delicious food to greedy them again? !
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: It is impossible not to spend money, I like spending money the most!
