Li Shimin

Chapter 49 Father, Show You Baby
And after Li Xuan finished speaking, it was obvious that the Second King Li was in a daze.

Obviously, this was the first time he met a master like Li Xuan.

Not to mention in the East Palace, even if it was the masters invited to Li Chengqian when he was in the Qin Palace, none of them taught with sincerity and fear, devoted themselves to death.

I can't wait to instill 24 hours of knowledge into Li Chengqian in [-] hours a day.

However, at any time, the master will always have a certain authority in front of the parents.

Especially Li Xuan, who has long been recognized by Li Shimin as a high-ranking hermit.

Therefore, Li Shimin did not refute Li Xuan's words, but just muttered in a low voice.

"Little Master, this kind of teaching method is really very strange!"

"It's just that the boy's ability is limited. He can only teach some students how to read and write, and do some arithmetic."

Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "It's also fortunate that the students like the boy are not prepared to take the imperial examinations to become officials!"

"Little Master, you are joking. You are knowledgeable, and the students you teach are regarded as talents. If you refer to the imperial examinations, they are only counted as subjects, and you will surely stand out!"

Li Shimin smiled lightly. "If Mingjing and Jinshi are outstanding again, you don't need to submit papers, you can directly become an official!"

"Forget it, forget it, boys, these students are just mountain village boys, they have never been in contact with officialdom, they are simple-minded, there is no need to go through the ups and downs of official careers, and they are envious of a career that they can spend their lives peacefully and steadily!"

Li Xuan shook his head lightly again and said: "Besides, Your Majesty should also know that half of the officials in the Tang Dynasty are descendants of aristocratic families!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin's expression darkened involuntarily.

"Unfortunately, now that paper is expensive and books are scarce, many children from poor families have no money to study!"

Li Shimin sighed deeply.

"My lord, this matter..."

Li Xuan, who was about to say that the matter could be resolved, quickly shut up.

Now, all major families in the world control the lifeblood of scholars in the world.

Even if he could develop papermaking and movable type printing, he would not dare to announce it.

However, these are all bombs, bombs that can blow up the foundation of all the world's aristocratic families.

Li Xuan couldn't guarantee whether the Second Highness Li could resist the family's counterattack.

"Little master, do you have a clever plan?"

Li Shimin asked expectantly.

"Let the king down, there is really nothing the kid can do about this matter!"

Li Xuan smiled wryly.

"I have seen my father, I have seen my master!"

Just as he was talking, Li Chengqian walked in from the door with a happy face.

In his hand, he was holding two books.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Li Xuan was startled, "It's already noon?"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian's expression changed, and he said quickly: "Gao Ming dare not lie to Master, it is indeed already noon!"

This kind of situation directly made Li Shimin stunned. He didn't expect at all, what kind of magical power does that school have, that it can make Gao Ming respect the young master so much?

However, Li Xuan didn't realize the changes between the two of them.

Instead, he stood up directly and walked outside.

"I didn't expect it to be noon, and it's time for the boy to cook. Your Majesty and the young master can do their own thing!"

When Li Xuan left, Li Chengqian hurriedly walked to Li Shimin's side.

Taking out the book in his hand, he said as if offering a treasure: "Father, my child found a treasure!"

"Oh?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with great interest, and asked, "What baby is it that makes Gao Ming so excited!"

"Father, please see!"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian pushed the book in his hand towards Li Shimin, and opened it.

"This is?"

At this moment, Li Shimin began to take a serious look at the book in Li Chengqian's hand, which was rough in workmanship and had some black and yellow books.

"Ok?"

After glancing at it, Li Shimin started reading involuntarily.

"Winning a cow and giving back a horse, if you go and don't come back, it's not a ritual."

"Knowing how to repay kindness, being romantic and elegant, and not repaying kindness is not an adult."

"Be loyal to the king, and respect to the father. Learn from etiquette, and teach without asking."

……

After a long time, Li Shimin came back to his senses, raised his head excitedly, looked at Li Chengqian, and said, "Gao Ming, where did this book come from?"

"Return to father, these are Li Kun's enlightenment books!"

"Li Kun?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

"Li Kun is the eldest son of Li Dazhu's family in the village. He should be 11 years old this year!"

Li Chengqian replied casually.

"Ah."

After listening, Li Shimin nodded slowly, and continued to ask: "Do you know who wrote this book? It is not only easy to read, but also easy to understand. This kind of enlightenment book is comparable to " Enlightenment Yaoxun, Ji Ji Pian, and Thousand Characters are much better!"

"Go back to my father, it seems to be a little master!"

Li Chengqian said: "The child asked Li Kun that this enlightenment book was copied by the little master for their enlightenment."

"So, these little masters are really strange people!"

Li Shimin couldn't help feeling emotional again.

"What the father said is absolutely true!"

Li Chengqian said: "I don't know my father, but I found that there are some small differences between this enlightenment book and ordinary books?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but look down again.

After a while, his face froze again.

Immediately, he quickly looked at Li Chengqian.

"Gao Ming, what kind of characters are some of the characters above these fonts? Also, what are these little gadgets between these sentences?"

"Father, these little things between each sentence are punctuation marks invented by the little master, and they are specially used to break sentences." Li Chengqian replied,

"Sentence?"

After Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin realized that the sentences he just read were all based on the sentences broken by these punctuation marks.

If these punctuation marks are used in more articles, wouldn't there be no more translations of a sentence?
Thinking about it, Li Shimin's face was full of excitement.

"Gao Ming, what's the meaning of this small line above these words?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Return to father, these are pinyin!"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian blushed directly with excitement, "Through these pinyin spelling, even if a person does not know how to read, as long as he learns these pinyin, he can also read!"

With that said, Li Chengqian turned the book to the first page.

"Father, please see!"

Li Chengqian pointed to the pinyin note on the first page and said, "Father, there are 26 letters in total, and their pronunciations are 'ah' and 'boo'..."

"These 26 letters are a sound alone, but when combined, they are the sound of words."

"For example, the character '得' in 'Get a man and a cow' is composed of 'd' and 'e', ​​and it is pronounced as 'de'..."

With that said, Li Chengqian explained it to Li Shimin in detail!
