"Dr. Li, why don't you take a rest according to the regulations of the Imperial College?"

Kong Yingda caught up with Li Zexuan and asked. In his opinion, Li Zexuan was completely fooling around and was probably being lazy on purpose.

"Well, Kong Jijiu, arithmetic is a very nerve-wracking subject. It must combine work and rest to ensure high efficiency. In addition to taking two days off every five days in the arithmetic academy, I also plan to have students attend three classes every day. Every quarter of an hour, you have to rest for a quarter of an hour.

My master said that human attention usually only lasts about five to six quarters of an hour at most. Taking a quarter of an hour to rest after every three quarters of an hour can ensure that people can double their work efficiency in the following time. So it is very necessary for the boy to do this. "

Li Zexuan said seriously, although he did want to be lazy, but he had to find an honest reason to be lazy, right

When Kong Yingda heard this, he glanced at Li Zexuan suspiciously. Although he didn't believe it, he couldn't find any loopholes in Li Zexuan's words for the moment.

Xu Hongzhi suppressed his laughter and said nothing. He was sure that Li Zexuan did this just to be lazy.

"Ahem, let's not mention this for the moment. Dr. Li, I think your blackboards are very useful for teaching. I wonder if you can provide a batch of blackboards and pens that can write on the blackboards for other schools in the Imperial College. ?”

Kong Yingda thought about it and decided not to hold Li Zexuan accountable for being lazy in the name of Xiu Mu. After all, he wanted something from Li Zexuan today.

"Mr. Kong, it is not easy to make blackboards and chalks, and the cost is high. If I were to provide blackboards and chalks to all the teaching buildings of the Imperial College, but the Imperial College didn't pay anything, I'm afraid it would be a little unjust, right?"

Li Zexuan said with a smile that although his family had a lot of money, it didn't come from the wind. Kong Yingda's words were obviously just for nothing. How could this work

Kong Yingda understood the meaning of Li Zexuan's words and sighed in his heart, but said awkwardly on his face:

"Haha, I won't let Dr. Li fund it himself. I will apply to His Majesty for funds from the imperial court to purchase blackboards and chalk for the 120 teaching buildings of the Imperial College. I just hope that Dr. Li will not charge too high a price. This year the imperial court will The finances are not tight either.”

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, sir. I'm not the kind of profit-oriented and ungrateful person. There is a country and a country. Only a country has a family. I won't worry about the country's danger for the benefit of my family. When the time comes, I will just wholesale it to the Imperial College at the cost price. I just hope that Students can study hard and make Datang more prosperous in the future."

Kong Yingda held up his hands happily and said: "The men of Li County are righteous!"

Li Zexuan smiled, are you righteous? There is no money to be made. If this were done in modern times, there would definitely be many keyboard warriors calling him stupid.

After saying goodbye to Kong Yingda and Xu Hongzhi, the group walked out of the Imperial College. Li Tai came up to him and shouted: "Li Zexuan, wait!"

After leaving the teaching building, Li Tai felt that the identity of the prince had returned to him, and he started to wander again, even daring to call Li Zexuan by his first name.

Li Zexuan paused, glanced at Li Tai with a half-smile, and said: "Alas, His Majesty the King of Wei does not know how to respect teachers and calls them by their first names. What will His Majesty and the civil and military officials think if they find out? ?”

Li Tai's chubby face turned pale. Although he was favored by Li Er, he was also afraid of those censors who only wanted to protect their reputations at the expense of their lives, so he shouted angrily: "Mr. Li!"

Li Zexuan felt secretly happy. He clasped his hands behind his back and said "Hmm" in a very pretentious manner, "What does Qingque have to do with finding a master?"

The corner of the little fat man's mouth twitched, but he was helpless and could only say: "Sir, he said a few months ago that he wanted to print "Journey to the West" for sale. I don't know why there is still no news after so long?"

Li Zexuan touched his nose and said awkwardly: "Ahem, so that's what happened! Qingque, you don't know something. There are many plots in "Journey to the West" involving the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. It's really not appropriate to publicize it!"

This was something Li Jingmo accidentally mentioned to him when he was talking to him one day. At that time, he broke into a cold sweat. "Journey to the West" generally emphasizes Buddhism and suppresses Taoism, but Li Er strongly advocates Taoism. If he would Wouldn't selling this book be courting death

After listening to this, Li Tai nodded in enlightenment and said regretfully: "Sir's concerns are somewhat reasonable. It's just a pity that such a wonderful novel as "Journey to the West" cannot be shared with everyone!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Haha, I have been thinking about it for a long time recently and decided to publish another story novel called "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality". I will narrate it and Tie Dan will write it. After it is completed, I will hand it over to the workshop for printing. If you are interested in Qingque then, you can buy a copy, it is guaranteed to be longer and more exciting than "Journey to the West"!"

Li Tai's eyes suddenly lit up, "The Story of Mortals Cultivating Immortality"? The name alone sounded interesting, so he said excitedly:

"Sir, how about I write the calligraphy? The student's calligraphy has already achieved some success, and even my father and Master Yu praised it very much. I will never disgrace your wonderful story!"

Being robbed of his job, Tiedan couldn't help but look anxious, but he also had self-awareness and knew that his dog-earing skills were indeed no match for the prince Li Tai.

Li Zexuan was amused, there were still people willing to compete for this hard work

"Haha, if Qingque is willing, you can go to my master's house every holiday, and you will be the one to write. When you are not here, Tiedan will be the one to write."

Tiedan felt relieved, it seemed that the master was still thinking of him.

Li Tai said happily: "Thank you sir, the student will go to your home tomorrow!"

Li Zexuan said with a straight face: "Qingque, you can't relax your studies because of this. Arithmetic is the foundation of all learning except Confucianism. You should first solve the problem that the teacher left before you come back!"

Li Tai said depressedly: "Yes, sir!"

... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

After saying goodbye to Li Tai, Lan'er and Tiedan didn't want to join in the fun with Cheng Yaojin's group of rough guys, so they went straight home. Li Zexuan asked Sanbao and the others to protect Lan'er Tiedan while he rode to Zuixian Tower by himself. .

"Hey, young master, you are here. The master and several princes are waiting for you above!"

Arriving at Zuixian Tower, Shopkeeper Liu greeted him with a smile.

Li Zexuan nodded. Today's banquet was mainly to thank Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and Niu Jinda for their kindness in bringing their families to the rescue that day. Of course, Li Jingmo, the father, had to come over in person to accompany the drink, otherwise wouldn't it be wrong? Too disrespectful to the princes

Handing the horse's reins to the boy, Li Zexuan went up to the fourth floor alone. He heard Cheng Yaojin's hearty laughter from a distance:

"Haha, Brother Jingmo is absolutely right. In my opinion, you don't look like a businessman, but you are almost like a rough guy in the army like us, haha!"

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Thank you*Yunshang? like? , don’t take it too seriously, those with the surname Gong and the prefix Lao Gong rewarded again and again. Thank you Brother Xiaoyao Xiong and Fatty for your monthly votes, and thank you fellow veterans for your recommendation votes!
