Chapter 342
"You came at the right time. The students don't know about braised pork. Please arrange it and give some to each of these students." Li Shimin said, and turned back to his seat.
"Master, bring out the braised pork and give some to each student. Just leave a little for the teachers and students who come late."
Li Tai instructed the canteen workers inside.
"Okay, principal!" The chef immediately called for help.
Then, Li Tai walked to the middle of the canteen.
He clapped his hands twice and said loudly:
"Classmates, don't rush to eat! There is another dish you have never eaten. Let the chef serve it to you now."
The students present immediately put down their chopsticks and waited quietly.
Su Chen walked towards Li Tai and said awkwardly: "Uh, sorry, I forgot to send someone to notify you in advance." Su Chen felt a little sorry that he had forgotten about it.
"Well, be more careful next time. Let's go and help serve the food. The chef is too busy with so many students."
Li Tai rarely got a chance to scold Su Chen, how could he miss it.
"Okay!"
Li Chengqian and Su Chen responded at the same time.
Two people in a group began to distribute the braised pork to the students. There were six groups in total and they finished quickly.
In the end, only a small plate of braised pork was left for the teachers and students who came late.
Empress Changsun and others specially called Li Zhi and Li Shen to sit together.
The students who sat with Li Zhi also greeted Empress Changsun and others enthusiastically.
Called them: Aunt!
"Mother..., you can come to the school to watch the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. Li Zhi is also the flag bearer of the school!" Li Shen whispered to Empress Changsun and others.
There were other students sitting next to them, so it was not easy to call them mother and mother.
"Yes, yes, aunt, the flag bearer is so majestic standing on the flag-raising platform! Even the principal can only stand below the stage."
The students followed closely and echoed. Although they were not in the same class, they were about the same age and were all from the next class.
They were divided into classes according to age, and there were seven classes for most of the six-year-olds.
The school cafeteria does not prohibit talking during meals, as long as you don't make loud noises.
Empress Changsun thought for a while and smiled and said, "Okay, if we are free on Monday, we will definitely come to school."
Concubine Wei was very pleased to see Li Shen. In the past, he never took the initiative to talk to others in the palace, except playing with Li Zhi.
Now in school, he can not only study with so many peers, but also take the initiative to talk to the queen.
The progress is not small.
"Li Shen, are you two going back... home on the weekend?" Concubine Wei asked with a smile.
Li Shen was stunned at first, and then quickly realized that Concubine Wei should be asking about going back to the palace.
"Mother, I will go home after the holiday. I have to review and practice calligraphy on the weekend."
Li Shen quickly refused. It's so good to be in the manor. I only need half a day to review and practice calligraphy on the weekend, and I can play whatever I want at other times.
Li Zhi nodded with food in his mouth. Go back to the palace?
No!
Concubine Wei had guessed the result long ago. Poor Concubine Wei was worried that Li Shen would miss her mother when he left the palace for the first time!
"Well, I also want to practice calligraphy, I won't go back!"
Little Sizi followed and expressed her attitude. She was worried that she would be taken back to the palace this time and was very nervous.
"Hehe..."
Empress Changsun and others were amused by Little Sizi's nervous expression.
Not long after, Princess Changle and Fang Jingyi Changsun Yao came to the cafeteria. From a group of children, it was easy to find Li Shimin and others.
They did not go over to say hello, but went to Empress Changsun after getting their meals.
"Aunt!" Changsun Yao and Fang Jingyi greeted Empress Changsun and others.
"Why did you three come so late?" Empress Changsun asked with a smile.
"Yaoyao doesn't want to queue up. She always comes late, and always pulls me Jingyi!" Princess Changle said bluntly.
Changsun Yao did not refute, because what Princess Changle said was true.
…
About 20 minutes later, some students cleaned up their dishes and put them away.
Li Shimin finished his meal first and walked around the cafeteria a few times to see how the students were eating.
He nodded with satisfaction.
He planned to build a bigger school in Chang'an.
Little Li Zhi was sharp-eyed and found that Li Shimin was about to come to them, so he hurriedly sped up his meal.
Li Shimin saw Su Chen and Li Chengqian sitting in an empty seat to eat and walked over quickly.
Li You thought he was a big boy and didn't sit with Li Zhi and the others.
"Father!"
The three brothers whispered.
Li Shimin nodded and sat down.
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were very satisfied with their meal, but they felt mixed emotions.
"Xuancheng, although we are the prime ministers, we have to say that we are incompetent!"
The students had almost all left, and the twoPeople were talking among themselves.
Wei Zheng nodded, agreeing with Fang Xuanling's words.
"Xuanling is right. If the Tang Dynasty can have a few such colleges, everyone in the Tang Dynasty will be as good as a dragon in less than 20 years."
They dare not even dream of such a college.
After Fang Xuanling and the other person chatted privately for a while, they packed up their plates and walked towards Li Shimin.
"Su Chen, go to Li Tai's office and sit for a while."
Li Shimin stood up and said when Fang Xuanling finished his meal.
"Okay, wait for me for a while."
Su Chen quickly finished the meal on the plate, and Li You walked silently towards Concubine Yin.
Not long after, Li Shimin and others came to Principal Li Tai's office. Empress Changsun and others waited for Princess Changle to finish her meal and strolled around the campus.
"Su Chen, I plan to build a larger school in Chang'an City next year. What do you suggest?"
Li Shimin shared his ideas with everyone.
"Building a school is a good thing, Your Majesty, just go ahead." Su Chen agreed with Li Shimin's idea.
Li Shimin had mentioned this to Su Chen before, but he had not determined the specific time.
"If you want to make a proposal, you can't be like my school, where everything is free!" Su Chen said after a little thought.
"Why can't it be free? Are you worried that the treasury will not be able to support it?"
Li Shimin was a little curious. Su Chen used to be free for the people, never charged, and never gave less wages if he could pay more.
"Free things will not be cherished after being used for a long time. In the long run, people will think that free things are a matter of course." Su Chen shook his head and explained briefly.
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Tuition can be waived, but books, food and accommodation will be charged a little.
The school is not for profit, and a symbolic charge for labor costs is enough."
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others nodded frequently when they heard this, which was indeed as Su Chen said.
Once free becomes a habit, it will be considered a matter of course.
Su Chen decided to waive all school fees, which was a bit impulsive. In addition, he only wanted to recruit children from the manor at first.
Unexpectedly, he later recruited more than 700 students.
Although Su Chen was short of money, it didn't cost much to build this school.
Li Shimin didn't stay in the school for long, he was still thinking about something important.
"Boy, go back to the manor!"
"I want to take a bath!"
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Li Shimin stood up and walked out.
