Xiaobao is now "diligently diligent", so diligent! He is going crazy!

With so many courses, are they going to tie him into a state school? He wants to go on a study tour (play)!

He wanted to see cotton seedlings, see whether cotton was a flower, see the digging of wells and canals, see the horse farm, wanted to see...

Think about it, you can’t see it!

As a result, the correspondence between Xiaobao and Chu Qing included this exchange:

Xiaobao: Mom, we have opened four new courses: governing the people, teaching martial arts, weirs and water, and calculating calendars.

Chu Qing: I can generally understand the first three. What kind of lesson is calendar calculation?

Xiaobao: Algorithms and Algorithms.

Chu Qing: What is the Li Xiang?

Xiaobao: I don’t understand the celestial phenomena of the movement of the sun, moon, and stars. Anyway, that’s what the teacher said.

Chu Qing: So that’s mathematics and the movement of celestial bodies? Oh my God, Xiaobao, you guys seem to have learned so much!

Xiaobao: Mom, Xiaobao misses you!

Xiaobao suddenly didn't want to write to Chu Qing anymore. It took four or five days to write back and forth, and it took more than half a month for his mother to roughly know what new subjects he had opened.

But is this what he wants to say? He wants to say that he wants to go on a study tour (play)!

But I can't say it directly. Xiaobao has always felt that studying can make his mother happy. As a filial child, he can't be so ignorant.

So again:

Xiaobao: Mom, today my husband is talking about "The way to govern the people is to be diligent in teaching." Do you know what it means?

Chu Qing: My mother is not very sure. Does it mean that the best way to govern the people is to devote oneself to promoting education?

Xiaobao: Mom is right! But do you know how to promote education?

Chu Qing: Can you even think about such a profound question? Mom thinks that "service" means to be wholehearted, and "du" means to do it in a down-to-earth manner and not to be vain. As for how to promote it, at least it requires the cooperation of many parties, right?

Xiaobao: Who cooperates with whom? How?

Chu Qing: In education, at least those who teach people must cooperate with each other. If it is a child, it means that the school and parents must cooperate. For example, if the state school wants to teach you to cherish food, then mother first cherishes the food herself, and then sets an example; the same is true in school.

Don’t waste food, make rules.

Xiaobao: What if the person being taught doesn’t understand?

Chu Qing: Then you have to be patient and teach more! "Du" means that education should be down-to-earth.

Xiaobao: Mom, Xiaobao misses you!

After all this fuss, more than half a month has passed.

After four months of exchanging letters, Chu Qing finally figured out why Xiaobao always mentioned that "the person being taught cannot understand" every time.

This means that there are too many subjects, and the children do not have enough knowledge to store, cannot understand, and are tired of studying!

"Chu Yuan!" Chu Qing shouted while holding Xiaobao's letter.

"Here we come, boss!" Chu Yuan jumped into the tent.

Chu Qing has been living in tents recently, just like on the grassland. Since the weather is warm, she lives in various places so that she can easily check the more than one million acres of cotton fields.

"You go back to Jizhou, go through the formalities for Xiaobao's six-month study tour, and then bring him here." Chu Qing ordered.

"Study tour? Won't it delay the children's homework?" Chu Yuan worried.

"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. He has to travel!" Chu Qing said.

"Okay! I'll be back soon!" Chu Yuan didn't care whether he understood or not, he just asked. He was only happy when Xiaobao was coming!

Without Xiaobao by his side, Chu Qing acted like a wooden person day by day, with nothing to say except business. It was so boring.

Xiaobao arrived five days later. His eyes were bright when he saw Chu Qing, but he stood there and blinked a few times before rushing towards him.

There is something strange about this child. He is usually ordinary and lacks the seven emotions of other children of the same age. Instead, he always gives Chu Qing the feeling that he is restraining his emotions at any time.

Other children laugh when they are happy and cry when they are unhappy. It is very straightforward, but Xiaobao always has to think about it for a few seconds.

Even he missed his mother so much. Normally, other children would have pounced on his mother, but Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, as if he was considering whether to pounce on her.

The only time Chu Qing expressed it directly was when he returned from injury at Baoqingsheng Beizhan in Xinlunzhou.

"What are you thinking about?" Chu Qing hugged Xiaobao, "Don't you know your mother anymore?"

"Hehe, mother has lost weight and darkened." Xiaobao held Chu Qing's face.

"No way! Xiaobao has grown a lot taller!" Chu Qing tugged at Xiaobao's sleeves, which were a bit short.

When I am not at home, the boys at home always fail to notice these details.

But I can't blame them. A group of young men don't take good care of themselves, so we can't expect them to be considerate at all times.

Besides, since I traveled through time, my life has been like living in a dormitory. Even if I have a house in Jizhou, my home is like a military camp.

Everyone is busy with their own things during the day, and everyone goes back to their respective houses at night to take care of everything on their own.

When you have a meal, you prepare it just like in a canteen. Everyone is a cook. When Chu Qing is cooking, the quality of the food is the best and the atmosphere is the liveliest.

But as long as you eat enough, it won't delay the baby's growth.

Xiaobao "inspected" Chu Qing's tent inside and out.

My mother's tent is very simple. It is an army tent and has more clothes drying racks than the army, one inside and outside the house.

The clothes drying rack at the back of the house was made larger, and my mother's clothes that were still dry were hung on it.

The one in the room is smaller, and now there are only a few handkerchiefs hanging on it for washing your face and feet.

My mother placed a few books on the bedside. There was a small table next to the bed, and the one open on it was a handwritten copy of "Historical Records".

The page that was spread out read: "Shanxi is rich in materials, bamboo, grain, bamboo, jade, and jade; Shandong is rich in fish, salt, lacquer, silk, sound and color;

In the south of the Yangtze River, there are many nan, catalpa, ginger, cinnamon, gold, tin, lian, cinnabar, rhinoceros, tortoise shell, pearls, and leather; in the north of Longmen, there are many horses, cattle, sheep, fur, and horns."

Here is my mother's pen calligraphy: "Where is the west of Mount He? Where is this place?" Next to it is a simplified version of Zhang Daxuan's map.

"Mom, are you reading "Historical Records"?" Xiaobao asked.

"Well, I have nothing to do, just take a look."

"It's so boring, can you stand it?"

"It's okay, not boring. Can't you memorize a lot?"

"Mom, I have to memorize it. Who knows what will be tested in the exam? It's always good to memorize more. But you don't want to take the exam, so why are you looking at these?"

"Oh..." Chu Qing seemed to have thought of something: Xiaobao couldn't learn, was it because he didn't understand the class or didn't find interest?

"Mom, it's not for the exam. I think this travelogue is quite interesting," Chu Qing said.

"Travel notes? Mother, you said "Historical Records" is a travel note?!" Xiaobao was surprised.

"It's not a complete travelogue. Sometimes I read it as a storybook."

"Storybook?! Oh my god!"

Well, this time it's a bit childish.

"Yes," Chu Qing said, "My mother thinks that history is what happened, and what happened is just a story? As for travel notes, look at the "Biographies of Huo Zhi" that my mother is reading. It has '

A shopping guide for specialties from various places, and a 'map cannon' all over the world..."

"What is a 'map cannon'?"

...Uh, my God, I'm talking so much that I'm talking nonsense. How should I answer this?

"You know how to set off firecrackers, right? Use words like firecrackers to point out famous people all over the world. Well, that's pretty much what it means."

“Then why do you say ‘map cannons’ are being fired all over the world?”

"Because it summarizes the customs of various places in words and points out the habits of the local people. For example: Bodi people in the border areas have more boy waiters and servants;

People in the Sanjin area like to act bravely and have a fierce personality, and are unwilling to engage in agriculture and business;

People in the Zhongshan area have bad tempers and like to be opportunistic. Many people are good at tomb robbing and forgery, but there are more handsome guys and beauties. There are many singing and dancing artists in the "entertainment circle". The "entertainment circle" is the literary and art industry, well, that's pretty much it;

People in the Yan area are quick and fierce, and don't like to think about problems;

People in the Western Chu area: folk customs are tough and agile, people are easily angry, and don't like to save money;

People from Nanchu area: good at speeches and debates, but not very trustworthy...

You said, if the local people knew about this, they wouldn’t beat up the author of this book?”

"Hahahaha..." Xiaobao started to laugh: "Mother, what you said is so interesting, it really is like this!"

"Also, this book also has a 'rich list'." Chu Qing added.

"What?"

"It just ranks the rich people in order of first, second, third and fourth. For example, this book selects the business giants of the Western Han Dynasty and lists seven companies, namely:

The Zhuo family in Sichuan, the Kong family in Nanyang, Henan, the Bing family in eastern Shandong, the Dao family in eastern Shandong, the Shi family in Luoyang, Henan, the Ren family in Guanzhong, and the Wuyan family in Chang'an, the capital.

The order of appearance of these names is roughly the ranking.
