Chapter 284: Prince Chengqian
Chapter 284 Prince Chengqian
Qin Lang, the prince's young teacher, hadn't figured out how to face this errand, but Cheng Qian took the initiative to come to see the teacher. Facing this brother-in-law student who was eight years younger than himself, Qin Lang felt a little awkward.
If it weren't for the preconceptions of later historical records, in fact, the current Chengqian is a very good child, handsome, intelligent, sensible, and polite, although for a nine-year-old child, these The performance is even a bit too precocious.
But who would have thought that such an outstanding young man would have such a big contrast in the future?
Can I change Chengqian?
Qin Lang didn't know that the change of a person's personality was mainly due to the influence of the environment. What he saw, heard, learned, and even the people he came into contact with would have a huge impact on a person's personality. So even if Qin Lang became the prince's junior teacher, he didn't dare to say that he could change the course of history.
"I heard that His Majesty worshiped Mr. as the prince's teacher, and the students couldn't help it. The students and the husband are really destined. Before, the husband was a bachelor of Chongxian Hall, and now he is the prince's teacher..."
"Fate is beyond words." Qin Lang could only answer like this.
Chengqian's happy appearance really didn't look like he was pretending. When he was in front of his teachers Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, and Li Gang, he was indeed quite restrained, because those teachers always taught him in the words of sages, restraining him everywhere, all the time Not talking about the rules made him very depressed.
But Qin Lang is young, he won't speak so old-fashioned, and he won't quote chapters when he speaks, and he won't talk about sages at every turn. Qin Lang will not deliberately put on the airs of a teacher.
This made the young Cheng Qian like this atmosphere very much, especially Qin Lang would take them out to see the situation among the people, which made him feel that he had discovered a new world.
"Sir, the second practical class you assigned to us before, we have been doing pairing to help the poor. The old man Ke who sold charcoal that I helped before has greatly improved his life now."
"Oh, how did you help?"
Cheng Qian was a little excited and began to talk to Qin Lang about his poverty alleviation work, saying how much time he had spent collecting and sorting out old man Ke's past experience, knowing that Ke Lao Wu had actually been a craftsman before and knew how to build carriages, It's just that he was forcibly conscripted as a civilian husband, living in Shandong, and was disabled.
"I also found out that when Old Man Ke was actually in Shandong, he once took care of a widow with a child. He lived with her for several years and helped her raise the child. However, he was lost due to the war. Later, Old Man Ke returned In Guanzhong, we have completely lost contact with them.”
Chengqian sent people to investigate, and after a lot of effort, they actually found the widow and her children who Old Man Ke lived in. The widow is still alive, and the children have grown up.
Under the contact of Chengqian, the widow and her children were very happy to hear that Ke Laowu was still alive.
The widow's sons were even willing to take Ke Lao Wu to live there, saying that when they were young, it was very difficult for their mother, a widow, to pull them up. If Uncle Ke hadn't taken care of them and worked hard to support the family, their mothers might have starved to death.
With the help of Chengqian, Ke Laowu went to Henan to reunite with the widows.
Then Chengqian also helped Ke Lao Wu and the others borrow money from Kaiyuan Bank, set up a shop, and opened a carriage workshop. They can make money by making cars during the slack season. Old man Ke is in charge of technical guidance when he is old. A child is responsible for the production. Although the scale is small, the business of the shop is still good, especially Ke Laowu is taken care of by the prince after all, so the local government will definitely take care of it. After a few orders, the shop is now booming. On the right track, not only Ke Lao Wu is running the business with his adopted sons, but he has even recruited several apprentices.
Old man Ke now has no worries about eating and drinking. He has completely escaped poverty and even become rich.
"This is a good thing. You guys can do this matter seriously to the end. It's very good. It's beyond my expectation and deserves praise."
Chengqian said with a smile that not only him, but also the students in the Chongxian Hall are very serious about helping their loved ones.
"After we helped the first batch of clients get rid of poverty, everyone thought that we should continue, so now we have taken the initiative to help a new group of poor clients. Not only that, but we also called on people around us to do their best to help each other. The poverty alleviation project initiated by the teacher at the beginning has now more and more people joining. We have also created a file. Now there are more than a thousand poverty alleviation targets who have joined this file. With our efforts, we have already More than 300 households have been completely lifted out of poverty, and the lives of more than 500 households have also been greatly improved, and the lives of hundreds of other households are also improving..."
Qin Lang was really surprised.
It was a temporary idea at the beginning, and then I left by myself, so I didn't pay attention to it anymore. I didn't expect that they have been doing it all the time, and they are getting better and better, which has already exceeded my expectations.
Chengqian asked Qin Lang to return to the Chongxian Hall to continue teaching the students, and said that everyone was looking forward to his return.
Said as if looking forward to nectar.
Qin Lang smiled, actually feeling a little overwhelmed by the young prince's call.
In the last imperial examination, 500 students were admitted to the Children’s Department, and then Chongxian Hall, Hongwen Hall, and Guozijian were divided into more than 100 boys each. Now Chongxian Hall has more than 200 students, and the scale has expanded again.
Chengqian and his students have been officially promoted to the second grade, and the new boy is a first-grade student. Because there are too many students, each grade is now divided into four classes, A, B, C, and D.
Li Gang is getting older, and now he is basically recuperating at home. He can only come to the East Palace for ten days and a half months to inspect. Now the Chongxian Hall is basically presided over by Chu Suiliang, a direct scholar, but because Chu Suiliang once killed students The bad performance of the chicken, so everyone doesn't like this acting host very much.
Chengqian watched the training of the Qin family polo team, they played both offensively and defensively, very well organized.
"Do you think it's different from the match between Cheng's family and Yuchi's family that you saw that day?" Qin Lang asked.
"Well, they rarely score goals." Chengqian is also a young man who loves polo. Although it is difficult for him to get off the court, once in a while, he can only fight with the guards, and he rides a pony. He will also let him go far away, and will not really fight.
"In fact, when playing polo, it is not only about the fighting spirit of the players, but also about the quality of the horse racing. What is more important is the tactics. For different opponents, we have to formulate different styles of play. For example, after knowing the opponent's team's Under certain circumstances, it is also possible to implement targeted tactics based on the opponent's usual style of play, and even target the opponent's excellent golfers and target containment."
"And if both teams adopt the same targeting tactics, then at this time, the consideration is no longer who is more fierce, but who makes fewer mistakes."
"So you will see that although the two sides compete fiercely on the field, there are very few goals. Because polo matches are determined by the number of goals, we must not only break the opponent's goal to score, but also prevent the opponent from breaking through. Our goal conceded."
"But this kind of competition is not as good as the Cheng family's!"
"For laymen to watch the excitement, for experts to watch the doorway. People who really understand polo will prefer this kind of game, because this kind of game is more about technology, both offense and defense, and it is more exciting."
Chengqian seems to understand but not understand.
"Sir, what the students don't understand is why you like polo so much. The Qin family not only has two polo teams, but also set up a polo league in Chang'an, established a polo league, and even started a big polo league." Stadium, selling tickets to watch, and gambling quiz? When we were in class in the Chongxian Hall, the direct scholars once criticized your behavior, saying that you are playing with things and losing your mind, and that you are taking the opportunity to make money!"
"Let us take it as a warning."
Qin Lang smiled, "Those are just rotten words, and their understanding of things is still superficial. They only see that playing polo is entertainment, and it costs a lot of money to form a polo team, and they think that betting tickets are gambling. Selling tickets to watch the football, I think it is to guide everyone to play with things, but they don’t see the deeper content.”
"What's at the deep level?" Chengqian asked.
"I can tell you that Chang'an, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, has a population of only a few hundred thousand, but with the unification of the world, the population will only increase. Moreover, as the capital of the emperor, there are many noble officials and officials here. This is the capital of wealth, even if I don’t build this polo league, in fact, there are still many polo teams in Chang’an.”
"It's just that these polo teams have nothing to do with ordinary people, and ordinary people can't see this wonderful game. Chang'an still has a lot of wealth spent on these polo sports, but they only serve the rich and powerful. There will be half of the benefits, and the common people will not see it."
"Now I'm building an alliance, forming a league, and linking Chang'an's polo with the court and the people, so that it is no longer just a game for the rich and powerful, but also a source of tax for the court and an entertainment for the people. Isn't that good?"
"It's just like money itself does not distinguish between good and evil. It depends on how you take it and how you use it. If you take it from the people and use it for the people, that is the right way. People spend some small **** to buy a betting ticket when watching football. It’s harmless to have fun, and part of the proceeds from the tickets will be handed over to the country, and the court will collect the money and use it for the people, or for border defense, isn’t that a good thing?”
Cheng Qian stared wide-eyed, "According to what you said, the imperial court should promote polo?"
"It's good to guide it correctly."
"Sir, your point of view is really completely different from that of Chu Xueshi and the others."
Qin Lang patted Chengqian on the shoulder, "So, sometimes it's better to have no books than to believe in books. For others, you have to read it dialectically, and you have to think and analyze it yourself, instead of listening to it easily. You have to think and distinguish on your own." ,do you know?"
"Then I want to play polo too?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Of course. Isn't there polo lessons in Chongxian Hall? You can also form teams, grade polo teams, and even Chongxian Hall polo teams. You can compete between classes. The competition between grades, even the competition between Chongxian Hall and Hongwen Hall, Guozijian, and Fangnei Sociology."
"Is this really okay?"
"What's impossible, as long as there are conditions, you can build a student polo league, you can play games, you can also decide to win the championship, you can even set bonuses, sell tickets, and sell betting tickets. Of course, if you don't Conditions, you can also promote sports such as football and football, which can not only strengthen your body, but also cultivate some military tactical literacy and team spirit. Just do it."
Chengqian said excitedly, "Sir, can you please come and help us host and establish the Chang'an Student Polo League, and I invite you to be the leader!"
