Yongle Square.
In the Li Mansion, the marriage proposal team was assembled early in the morning.
The leader was a lady in her thirties or forties, wearing heavy makeup and laughing so loudly that Li Zexuan was so angry that she quickly turned away and returned to the west courtyard alone.
"Hey, Xiao Xi, you want to go with us too!"
Li Zexuan asked curiously when he met Xiao Xi who was in a hurry.
"Well, young master, madam asked Xiao Xi to go over and deliver something to young madam."
Xiao Xi replied with a smile on her face.
Li Zexuan laughed happily when he heard this, and joked: "Haha, the little girl called the young lady so quickly? Xiaoxi, wait a minute, and help me bring something to Yu Xi."
"Well, Master!"
Li Zexuan smiled and turned back to the room, spread out the rice paper and began to write: "I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together forever! When your hair is gray and your appearance is old, I will still hold your hands and give you all the tenderness." Yuxi, my dear, stay at home and wait for me to marry you!"
After he finished writing, he had a sudden idea and folded the letter into a paper crane, then flattened it and put it in the envelope, sealed it and walked out.
"Master, do you want to bring a message to the young lady?"
At this time, Xiao He also carried a package and came to the entrance of the small courtyard. He was probably going to follow the marriage proposal team to the Han family.
Li Zexuan handed the letter to Xiao Xi and said angrily to Xiao He: "Little girl, don't peek on the road!"
Xiao Xi is the timid and weak type, while Xiao He is more lively and outgoing, but her breasts are a bit small, ahem, where did she want to go
Xiao He pouted and said: "Xiao He didn't peek, the young master must have written some disgusting love words to the young lady, Xiao He will be sore to death after reading it!"
"You little girl!"
Li Zexuan's face darkened and he tried to hit her on the head. Xiao He quickly screamed and pulled Xiao Xi away.
… … …
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
This is where Li Er went to read books and deal with government affairs after his morning dynasty.
At this time, Li Ergao was sitting above, holding a book in his hand, frowning as he read: "Zhao Song, this is Li Zexuan's new arithmetic? How come I have never seen these strange words?"
Zhao Song stepped forward cautiously and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a new arithmetic created by a man from Li County. This book is said to be a textbook compiled by him himself. As for the strange words on it, the old slave can't understand it, but Wei Your Highness Wang must be able to understand it, King Wei even solved a very difficult question given by a man from Li County after listening to the class yesterday morning!"
Li Er smiled happily and said: "Okay! My Qingque is really talented and can learn anything quickly! Haha!"
Zhao Song smiled and said: "Your Majesty taught you this well!"
Li Er smiled heartily and accepted this flattery.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Li County left a question after class yesterday, asking the students to find a way to measure the height of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree at the entrance of the Imperial College. He also said that the student with the best method will take the monthly exam this month. Two points added.”
Zhao Song saw that Li Er was very interested in Li Zexuan and Li Tai's affairs, so he continued.
Li Er was startled for a moment and asked: "Monthly exam? What monthly exam?"
Zhao Song explained: "Your Majesty, this is the examination system set by Li County Men for the Mathematical School. It is said that the Mathematical School has a small exam every seven days, a high school exam every month, and a major exam every six months.
The top five in the monthly exam will be personally funded by a man from Li County, and he will be invited to have a big meal at Zuixianlou, and he can also bring his family. The top five in the monthly exam will post a list of honor, and the top five in the monthly exam will post a list of shame, and will be responsible for Clean the teaching building. The first Li County male in the half-year examination will be rewarded with one hundred guan. "
Li Er was surprised for a moment, and then said with a smile: "This guy is really rich. He spends more money than me, and he has more clever ideas. Now the students in the Imperial College will have a headache. I hope he can guide the atmosphere of the Imperial College in these years. It’s almost becoming a gathering place for dandies.”
Zhao Song complimented: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and sage."
Li Er waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "But this guy is really embarrassing. The ginkgo tree at the entrance of the Imperial College is probably more than ten feet high? How can the students measure it? Zhao Song, with you Can the lightweight function fly that high?”
Zhao Song sweated violently and said quickly: "Your Majesty, this... this grand master can't fly to a height of ten feet, right? Such a height is definitely beyond the reach of human beings!"
Li Er touched his nose and knew that he was thinking too much.
"Your Majesty, are you still reviewing the memorial? I have made you some iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat!"
At this time, Changsun walked over gracefully carrying a bowl of sour plum soup.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Song quickly stepped aside, like an old monk in meditation, blending into the pillars in the hall.
"Haha, Maid Guanyin, thank you for your trouble. From now on, just let the servants take care of these things. You are not in good health and should not work hard. Come and sit down."
Li Erteng moved his seat and called for his eldest grandson to sit over.
After the eldest grandson sat down, he smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, your majesty. My body is not that delicate yet. Your majesty, please drink some sour plum soup to relieve the heat."
Li Er nodded, took the sour plum soup, drank a few sips, and shouted happily.
"Hasn't His Majesty's memorial been approved yet?"
Changsun looked at the stacked memorials on several cases and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
"Come on, wait a moment, Maid Guanyin, I will finish reviewing it soon, and then I will accompany you to enjoy the flowers!"
Li Er finished the sour plum soup in a few sips and returned to work.
After a while, Li Er looked at a memorial and murmured: "It's this kid again, but this time he still has some conscience."
Changsun came over curiously and asked, "Who are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
Li Er came to his senses and said with a smile: "Not that boy Li Zexuan, Kong Yingda wrote a letter saying that Li Zexuan created a blackboard and chalk, which are very beneficial to teaching, so he asked me to allocate a sum of money to the Imperial College to purchase a batch of blackboards and chalks. chalk."
The eldest grandson said in astonishment: "This child has earned all his money from Your Majesty?"
Li Er shook his head and said: "This guy still has some conscience this time. Kong Yingda told him that the government's finances are not tight this year, but this guy didn't say anything and took the initiative to give in and said he would only charge the cost. It's really rare!"
The eldest grandson smiled and said: "So, this child understands justice well. Why does Your Majesty still seem a little unhappy?"
Li Er raised his head and sighed, and said in a deep voice: "In the final analysis, the court has no money, and it actually allows a child to make concessions."
Seeing Li Er's dull expression, the eldest grandson knew that he remembered that the Turks went south last year and the Tang Dynasty signed the Weishui Alliance. She comforted her softly:
"It has been difficult for Your Majesty these past two years. It is a pity that I am a woman and cannot come forward to share your Majesty's worries."
Li Er hugged his eldest grandson's waist happily and said with a smile: "Guanyin has helped me a lot. Of course, I have to take care of these world affairs. The Turks are no more than clowns. When the Tang Dynasty regains its strength, I will surely succeed. Hunting grassland!”
Changsun rested his head on Li Er's shoulder, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said:
"Your Majesty, Li Zexuan said before that his master predicted that there would be a locust plague next year. How does Your Majesty plan to deal with it?"
Li Er's lofty ambitions suddenly disappeared, and he said solemnly:
"Shu Bao personally vouched for this boy, and this boy said it with certainty. I have to believe it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. I am discussing this matter with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, and we will probably have countermeasures in the next few days. .”
The eldest grandson asked in confusion: "Why don't your majesty just adopt the kid's strategy of raising chickens?"
Li Er stroked his eldest grandson's long hair and sighed: "That kid's method will probably only be able to take care of his family's farmers. What I have to take care of is the people of the world. How can the imperial court have the money to raise so many chickens? This matter, when it comes to specific localities, must have a detailed plan!"
The eldest grandson nodded thoughtfully.

Thank you for losing the beauty; get a better and better monthly pass!
