Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In early summer, Taiwan has become very hot. Even in the Taipei area, the temperature has reached over 30 degrees. At noon, the white sun shines down, and the concrete floors begin to emit blue smoke, even in the shade of trees.  , and the hot wind blowing made me want to dive into the water without getting out.

    In a yard in Niuchou Port, Keelung, a huge parasol tree covers half of the yard. In addition, there is a small pond here, so it seems cooler than other places. And in the yard, a  In the small building, Li Min, with disheveled hair, was sitting on a chair. He was bare-chested and only wore a pair of large underpants. His big bare feet were placed on the table. He had a brush in his mouth. He seemed to be leisurely, but his face was filled with emotion.  They all look distressed.

    "Oh, if I had known this would happen, I should have listened to the teacher's words. Even if I read more books, it would be good." Li Min sat there and thought hard for a long time, and finally sighed suddenly.

    Taiwan's education system needs to be built, but there is a very important issue, and that is the compilation of teaching materials. Whether it is primary school or middle school, what is studied is no longer Confucianism, so new teaching materials are naturally needed, and for these  When compiling the textbook, Li Min originally wanted to transfer what he had learned to future generations, but when things came to a close, he suddenly realized that he could not remember what was in the original textbook.

    In fact, it¡¯s normal to say it. For example, if we were given a math problem from elementary school, everyone would probably be able to solve it. But if we were asked to list the formulas and theorems used in this math problem, probably not many people would be able to solve it.  It can be done.  The same goes for Li Min. His brain is not a computer, so he can't remember it so clearly.  So when he wrote his own teaching materials, he couldn't write anything after holding it in for several days.  Plus, no one can help him with this matter.  So Li Min could only carry it.

    "Zhi~zhi~" The chirping of cicadas outside the window did not make Li Min feel happy, in this hot weather.  On the contrary, it will only make people feel more irritated.  In addition, no matter what Li Min thought, what impressed him most in class was the eight characters "Study hard and make progress every day" on the blackboard. As for the knowledge in the textbook, the most valuable things he thought of were the multiplication table and Chinese.  Pinyin, this made him extremely discouraged.

    "Fuck it, never mind, I, the prince, am not here to compile teaching materials!" Li Min couldn't make it up on his own, and finally became angry from embarrassment.  Angrily, he pulled out the brush from his mouth and threw it away, and then randomly gathered together the teaching materials he had written in the past few days. These were not so much teaching materials as fragments of Li Min's thinking. Anything he could do in the past few days  Everything that comes to mind is written down on paper, including the most valuable multiplication tables and Chinese Pinyin.

    Li Min stuffed these messy things into a paper bag, and then went outside to find Xie Chun and Hua Guang, who were the principal and deputy deans of the Education Institute.  When managing the establishment of Taiwan's education system, they originally wanted to organize people to write textbooks, but Li Min overestimated his own level and insisted on writing them himself.  As a result, after a few days, nothing came out.

    Xie Chun and Hua Guang are both young. Their age plus one is only fifty years old.  However, Li Min used people based on their talents, and he really didn't have anyone he could use.  So they pushed these two young people to high positions, but it was precisely because of this.  Xie Chun and Hua Guang both worked very hard, fearing that something would accidentally happen. When Li Min found them, they were studying with a group of officials from the Education Institute how many primary schools should be opened in each county in Taiwan.

    "Bah~" Li Min threw the paper bag containing the teaching materials in front of Xie Chun and Hua Guang, and then said calmly, "Well, well, these are some things I have sorted out. Originally, I wanted to sort them out myself.  , and then compile a set of teaching materials. However, the weather has been hot recently, and my body cannot bear the heat, so I am a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, I have already written the most important things. You can ask someone to sort it out and add or delete some that are not too uncomfortable.  Important things can be used as teaching materials!¡±

    Li Min told lies shamelessly. Although he did not reveal any lies due to his rich experience, after finishing speaking, he immediately turned around and left.  He was mainly afraid that if Xie Chun opened the bag and saw what was inside, then he would be exposed. Although the other party did not dare to say anything, he would feel embarrassed, so he left in a hurry.

    In fact, Xie Chun and Hua Guang did not expect Li Min to compile the teaching materials alone, so when they saw what Li Min had written, although they felt that these things were too few and too messy, they were relatively  It was novel and very suitable for teaching, which made them admire Li Min even more.

    The writing of textbooks was abandoned halfway, no, to be precise, it was abandoned as soon as it was started.  Li Min has always been a person who has a beginning and an end, so he was still a little bit worried about this, but soon he had no time to pay attention to it, because Wen Xin's delivery date finally arrived, and his third child was finally born.  .

    Although Li Min doesn¡¯t careThere is no distinction between legitimate concubines, but in the eyes of others, this is his first legitimate child after all, so not only the people in the palace are watching, but also people like Concubine Yang who is far away in Chang'an, and Wen Xin's mother, Xiao Yu  The others were all eagerly watching the birth of this child.

    On May 22, the 16th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Wen Xin, who was ten months pregnant, finally gave birth, and the little guy born this time lived up to expectations and was a leader. According to legal theory, he was Li  The first heir to the throne is the Crown Prince of Qi.

    For this new-born little guy, Wen Xin is naturally the happiest. She was worried about giving birth to a daughter before, but now that she has a boy, she can finally feel proud and proud, and no longer has to worry about others talking about her behind her back.  In addition, Li Min was also very happy for the birth of this son. After all, if nothing else, just letting Wen Xin get rid of a serious illness was enough to make him excited.

    It is also worth mentioning that the Lu Hong brothers, Hu Li, Zhou Long, Xiao Lin and other officials from the Xiao family in Lanling were all very happy about the birth of the young prince. Although they were foreign ministers, they  But they are all people from the princess's family. Now that they see the princess giving birth to a son, they are also relieved and work harder.

    But after he was happy, Li Min faced another problem, which was to come up with a name.  Originally, Li Min was ready to go back to the study to read books, but Gao Chong told Li Min that the Crown Prince was no better than other children, and Li Min was deeply loved by Li Shimin, so it was best for His Majesty, that is, to let Li Shimin do this.  Give Grandpa a name.

    Hearing this suggestion, Li Min was overjoyed and immediately wrote to Li Shimin, reporting the birth of the child and asking him to give him a name.  However, before the official name was decided, Li Min gave the child a nickname. This nickname also continued the eldest brother's Australian name style, but changed the place and named it Nanyang.

    Although Nanyang is not yet under Li Min's control, Li Min believes that as long as enough immigrants move from the interior, he can control the entire Nanyang in his hands in the shortest time.  A rich archipelago, coupled with millions of Han people, this will be his first foundation and his first step in expanding outward. As long as he has Nanyang, he can enter the Tang Dynasty by going north and entering the Tang Dynasty by going west.  It is India and Africa, and the south is undeveloped Australia. As for the east, there are North and South America that Li Min has dreamed of going to.

    Thinking of North and South America, Li Min couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Nanyang was the closest to the Tang Dynasty, and Luzon was part of Nanyang. If there were no accidents, he would soon be completely under his control, and this would be his first attempt to control Nanyang.  step.  But except for Nanyang, other places are still too far away.

    For example, Australia has been discovered there, and gold and copper mines have been discovered there, but there are still too few people who have moved there. The population has been fluctuating between two and three thousand people, but there are indeed some people who have moved there because of the gold rush.  And getting rich has attracted many people to Australia. I believe that as the immigrant population in Taiwan increases, there will be more bold immigrants to try their luck in Australia.

    ¡°However, compared to Australia, the more distant North and South America can only appear in Li Min¡¯s dreams.  In addition, Li Min also knows that if we set out from Australia, we will be closer to the Americas. However, there is not even a stronghold in Australia. The fleet will not get repairs and supplies at all when it arrives there. It is actually not easy to go to the Americas from there.  Not easy.

    Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but sigh. If steamships could run faster, then maybe he could build a supply point in Australia and then go to America from there. Unfortunately, current steamships can only run offshore.  , otherwise once the coal is burned out, it will have to stop in the sea and wait for rescue.

    ¡°However, it is still too early to think about the Americas. The right way to develop Taiwan, the fundamental place, is now.  Now with the arrival of immigrants, Taiwan's population problem will be slowly solved, so the most important issue now is education. Although I have failed in writing textbooks, education is a century-old plan, and I cannot relax.

    It is precisely because of this that after his son was just one month old, Li Min immediately began to pay attention to Taiwan's education plan. Elementary schools in various places naturally had to be built, and under the supervision of Xie Chun and Hua Guang, plus the information provided by Li Min  The messy knowledge and textbooks were written smoothly and the quality was good. At least when the samples of the textbooks were delivered to Li Min, he could only make some minor modifications after reading them.

    After the textbooks were completed, the recruitment of teachers also began with great enthusiasm. However, there are not many people who are literate these days, let alone teachers who can teach and educate people, so it is not easy to recruit.
