I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen's words made Wang Hongfu unable to react for a moment.

"Build one, Lao Wang. You can find a few professors who are willing to teach. I will give them two guan of money every month. If they are willing to come and settle in Huangzhuang, I can also build them a house. Tell them that if the professors are good "Give me a money increase. Let's go to the village chief Zhang Da first." Li Shen was going to ask the village chief to let him be responsible for building a house.

"Gaimeng Xue?" As expected, Zhang Da was also surprised. This prince really wants to do whatever he wants.

"Yes, build a few big houses first. Let the children in the village study. I will take care of teaching Yu and the books. Village chief, you find a place to build a school building closer to the two villages. Shopkeeper Wang is responsible for purchasing materials, and village chief, you are responsible for organizing The villagers are building a house. It must be completed within a month. If we can bake bricks next year, we will build a bigger one."

"My lord, what about the fees? If you charge too much, the villagers may not be willing to part with it," Zhang Da said cautiously.

"No money." Li Shen replied.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is really kind to us." Zhang Da saluted and thanked. Is reading accessible to ordinary people these days?

"Okay. You tell the villagers. Reading changes your destiny. In the future, the manpower I need to build the government will also give priority to people in Zhuangzi who can read and write. Let them all send their children to Mongolian schools to learn and read. They will basically be literate in this life. That's it. But the children still have a chance. We must seize the opportunity to honor our ancestors." Li Shen was afraid that the villagers would not come.

"My lord, you are right. Studying can change your destiny. We cannot let the children dig in the dirt and eat like us. Don't worry, lord, I will beat them to death if they don't deliver." Zhang Da agreed with Li Shen very much.

"Yes. You can go to Xiaohuangzhuang to inform us later. Let me tell everyone that the hard days will pass. As long as we work together, our lives will get better and better." Li Shen is a college student who went out to the countryside. Although there is no big development. But it’s easier than farming at home. So he knows very well how knowledge can change destiny.

Li Shen left. But it brings hope to the big and small Huangzhuang. What the ancients cared most about was whether future generations could honor their ancestors. Reading is a great gift to the people. Zhuangzi is already preparing to erect an immortal tablet for Li Shen.

Li Shen returned to the palace and began to think about future development. He doesn't care about government affairs. But if you don’t want to be manipulated by others, you must have strength. Money is a type of power. Imperialist conglomerates can influence the political direction of a country. It depends on the wealth of the country that is so rich. He may not be able to achieve that level of strength, but as a prince he has unique conditions. Historically, Li Shen seems to have died of illness while being exiled by Wu Zetian. Li Shen wants to change history. Let Li Chengqian be the emperor, and Li Chengqian is fairly upright. I help myself occasionally. Li Chengqian would not kill the donkey. I can also be a leisurely prince with peace of mind.

There are also aristocratic families, there will definitely be conflicts in the future. They are the rocks blocking Li Shen's beautiful life. But Li Shen is now weak and can only try slowly. Fortunately, as the son of Prince Li Shimin, even if the family wants to deal with him, it can only be used openly. At most, they could play some tricks and tricks, and their lives would be safe for the time being. They would not dare to assassinate a prince, otherwise not only Li Shimin would not let them go. All the princes and nobles will not let them go. This is contempt for the nobles and depriving them of their rights, but it is hard to say whether he will be assassinated in the future. Nowadays, it is nothing more than frame-up. This Li Shen is really not afraid of being framed.

-------------------------------------------------- ----

After winter, Li Shen didn't like to leave the palace. The weather was cold, and Shitou was occasionally asked to come out of the palace to listen to Wang Hongfu's reports and tell Li Shen what he wanted to do. The school had been built. Wang Hongfu also recruited several down-and-out scholars to teach children how to read and write. The biggest investment was in books and paper. The cost in two months is more expensive than Li Shengai School. No wonder Li Shen, a man with few scholars, thought that papermaking should be considered.

Papermaking is one of the four great inventions and is also the basic operation for time travellers. Li Shen has only seen videos of paper-making using reed poles, wheat straw, wood and the like. After crushing, add caustic soda, lime, and plant ash. The modern papermaking process can be divided into raw materials-cooking-washing-beating-pulping-making-making paper.

However, Li Shen has only watched the video and has never made one before, so he doesn’t know if it can be successful. He decided to go to Huangzhuang to give it a try next spring. He also specifically asked Huang Hongfu to buy straw. He had lime mines himself. Caustic soda was simpler, filtered water with plant ash and added quicklime. Things I learned in middle school. But it's cold now. We can only wait until spring.

Li Shimin went to Luoyang Palace some time ago, and Li Shen heard that he was back in the past two days. Li Chengqian supervises the country, and now Li Shimin has handed over some daily minor matters to Li Chengqian. Getting up early and staying up late every day. In his previous life, Li Shen was always up early and late at night. He had had enough of that kind of life. Even if you ask him to be the emperor now, he won't even want to.

But one thing caught Li Shen's attention. When Li Shimin went to Luoyang Palace, he heard that the 14-year-old daughter of the warrior Yu (yuē) was beautiful, so he summoned her to the palace to prepare to be named a talented person. This person was later Wu Zetian. Li Shen felt that Li Shimin's father was really a beast. He was raising a child and a wife.

Li Shen felt that Li Shimin must not be allowed to do this. The main reason is that Li Shen wants to change his destiny. He knew that in history, Li Shen was sent to death because of his opposition to Wu Zetian. He must never let Wu Zetian be the queen and keep him away from the emperor and the prince.

As he said, Li Shen and the palace maids and eunuchs were preparing to go to the Manlu Palace. When they walked to the garden, they saw a group of warblers and swallows. Among them was a woman, tall and round, with delicate features, beautiful appearance, and a charming smile. Li Shen had never seen such a beautiful woman in his entire life. Many people in later generations misunderstood the Tang Dynasty, thinking that fatness was considered beautiful in the Tang Dynasty. After Li Shen arrived, it was not the case at all. The beauty of the Tang Dynasty was about mellowness. Li Shen's understanding is that he has a good figure. Moreover, women in the Tang Dynasty wore more open clothes than other dynasties.

Li Shen pulled a eunuch over and asked, "Who is that woman over there? Why haven't I seen her in the palace before?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji. That is the new daughter of a good family whose surname is Wu. Your Majesty conferred the title of Wu Mei on the fifth-grade talented person." The eunuch immediately said respectfully when he saw Li Shen.

"Oh. Have you ever served Aye?" Li Shen meant to ask if he had been favored by Li Shimin. If he had been favored by Li Shen, it would be difficult to ask for it. Because it is possible to breed a dragon.

"Go back, Your Majesty. Not yet. Your Majesty is busy with political affairs after returning to the palace, so..." The eunuch knew what Li Shen meant.

After hearing this, Li Shen ignored the eunuch and went directly to the Manlu Palace. no. Come over quickly. No wonder Wu Meiniang was able to confuse Li Shimin and Li Zhi. This is so charming. No normal person can resist this. What if he seduce Li Chengqian in the future? He cannot be allowed close to the court. At this time, Wu Mei was still relatively young, although she had been smart since she was a child and had extraordinary intelligence. But he has not yet been dyed with ambition in the big dye vat of the harem. Still relatively easy to train.
