The Daming Glasses Factory, the Royal Glasses Factory are under construction in full swing, and the Shuxiangyuan is also under construction in full swing.
Before the kindergarten in Shuxiangyuan was completely built, Li Wenchong discovered that the yard he specially prepared for Yao Jiuye had become a "kindergarten" first.
I don't know when, following the emperor's eldest grandson Li An, Li Xue, the second daughter of the eldest prince's house, Li Gen, the third concubine, and other grandsons of the prince's house appeared one after another.
Except for a few grandsons from the Second Prince's Mansion who did not show up, almost all the other princes and grandsons who were studying in the upper study received the "invitation" from Master Yao Jiu and came to Prince Chong's Mansion as guests.
If it had been anyone else, Emperor Mingguang would have long suspected him of being a clique.
Because Li Wenchong couldn't give birth, Emperor Mingguang laughed at him and called him "King of Children" and left him alone.
Li Wenchong rubbed his forehead, he is really not the king of children.
He is already in his thirties. If it were not his biological son, who would be willing to take care of the child?
Unfortunately, Master Yao Jiu refused to let him take care of him. He preferred to stay with a few gentlemen arranged by Gu Qingling, either attending classes or reading books and doing experiments. By the way, he also brought a bunch of princes and grandsons with him.
The trick is that these princes and grandsons became obsessed with it after doing several so-called physics and chemistry experiments with Yao Jiuye.
Every now and then I would find excuses to take leave from the study room, just because I wanted to take advantage of Yao Jiuye's "transfer leave" to come over and attend classes at Prince Chong's Mansion with him.
Li Wenchong: "..."
Hello!
Are you mistaken?
Yao Jiuye took this lesson because he will inherit a mountain of gold and silver in the future. He doesn't have to work hard, as long as he is happy. Why are you just joining in the fun?
Do you know that some of you may be able to sit in that position in the future?
If we don't just stay in the upper study and listen to the emperor's holy teachings, why are we here to join in the fun?!
"Are you sure this is really okay?"
Li Wenchong hesitated.
Regarding education, his royal brother still attaches great importance to it. As a result, these boys skipped classes under his royal brother's nose. It's a good thing that they didn't come out. If they did, I'm afraid something big would happen.
Gu Qingling raised her eyelids: "What's the problem? There can only be one person sitting in that seat. There are so many princes and grandsons, so they look like cross-eyed people, just staring at that seat all day long. What's the point? Children should
Broaden their horizons and let them know how big the world is, so they won't always focus on one place."
I also asked Li Wenchong, when he traveled around the world due to his health, did he think it was more interesting than sitting in that position?
Sitting in that position, I woke up earlier than a chicken, went to bed later than a dog, worked so hard, and seemed to be rich in the world, but I couldn't even get out of the palace.
How miserable!
He is different. He has no worries about food and clothing, and can travel all over the world.
He doesn't have to be trapped in the capital like his imperial brother, unable to go anywhere.
"The most important thing is that if there is something that can't be solved, you can clean it up and let your brother worry about it. But can your brother worry about it? He can't relax on even the smallest things. He has to interfere with everything.
I have to take care of everything... and I don’t even have a holiday, it’s too hard!”
Li Wenchong's mouth twitched and he quickly reminded Gu Qingling to take it easy.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Even if this is the palace of Prince Chong, he cannot guarantee that nothing he says will leak into the ears of his royal brother.
It's okay if his imperial brother doesn't care about it, but if he cares about it...
"What's there to argue about? I'm a woman, nagging about trivial things in the backyard, why would he, an emperor, argue with me? Besides, I'm not saying bad things about him, I'm just a little lucky. Fortunately, you're just a prince.
.”
Li Wenchong: "..."
When she said this, he suddenly felt that what on earth were his nephews and grandsons fighting for that position like cross-eyes?
Is it just to be like his royal brother, who wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog?
Li Wenchong looked down at her busy work and asked her what she was doing and why he kept seeing her busy in the past few days.
"Didn't I tell you before that I plan to teach them a lesson to broaden their horizons, so I am preparing lessons."
"Preparing lessons?" Li Wenchong looked at the colorful things in front of him, which were cut and pasted, and he was confused.
"When you come together, you will understand."
…
A few days later, the class that Gu Qingling mentioned finally arrived.
While Li Wenchong was already sitting in the classroom, he sneaked in from behind and sat at the end.
On the podium, Gu Qingling asked her servants to bring up the wooden board that she had prepared in advance and was as wide as a blackboard.
Everyone was very surprised: "What is this? Why is it so big?"
Yao Jiuye shook his head: "I don't know either, my mother said she wants to give us a special lesson."
"You really don't know what Grandma Huang will say?"
"have no idea."
…
After putting it away, Gu Qingling took off the paper covering it, revealing a piece of paper with an outline drawn on it.
She pointed to the outline and asked everyone, "Do you know what this is?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"You can take a guess. Each of you has seen it, touched it, and is closely related to it..." Gu Qingling encouraged.
Everyone looked at each other and started guessing.
"Is it...a chicken? I feel like it looks like a chicken."
Gu Qingling shook his head.
"A bird?"
Gu Qingling was helpless: "It's not an animal, it can't talk or bark."
"Ah? It's not an animal? That's an object?"
Gu Qingling shook his head again: "No, it is very big, much bigger than your imagination. Even now, we are standing on it."
Everyone was confused and looked at their feet.
Some people guessed it was the floor, others guessed it was a stone.
After Gu Qingling shook his head again, Emperor Sun Li An said: "It can't be Dadi, right?"
Gu Qingling smiled: "It's very close, but not completely right."
The crowd was in an uproar.
"It is indeed the earth, but it is not only the earth. To be precise, it is the Ming Dynasty." Gu Qingling mentioned a word that shocked everyone - map.
Li Wenchong, who was sitting in the back, suddenly became nervous and didn't understand why Gu Qingling would mention such a thing.
Doesn't she know that this thing is a "taboo" for the royal family?
He winked at Gu Qingling.
Gu Qingling returned a "calm" look and continued: "Looking at your expressions, you seem to be shocked. Do you think that maps are state secrets and should not be taken out casually? But don't worry, I have this
The map is just a rough outline, it is neither clear nor clear. I took it out just to tell you - how much do you know about the land you live on?"
Then, Gu Qingling started to ask questions, asking them if they knew which states and counties there were in the south and what were the characteristics of these states and counties?
In addition to the south, what about the north, west, and east?
Even outside the Ming Dynasty, what countries are there and what are their characteristics?
What is it like further afield?
Has anyone in the whole world really seen it and know what it looks like?
If no one knows, then can they find a way to see its whole picture and tell the world what the world is like?
