At this time, it was Qin Huaiyu's father, Qin Shubao, standing at the door of the Wei Family Restaurant. He had stayed here in Yizhou since Qin Huaiyu took him to Yizhou for treatment. During this period, he returned to Chang'an after he recovered, but Later, he came back and took his wife and children, because he was no longer an official in the court, so Li Shimin didn't know that he came to Yizhou.
Qin Shubao was taken aback when he heard the voice. No one in Yizhou called him that. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw three people sitting at the same table, all of them were looking at him. After sizing him up, he was quite surprised, and he was about to blurt out "the emperor", but Li Shimin immediately made a "shh" gesture, Qin Shubao understood, and walked over with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to visit you at the Prince of Shu's Mansion, but I didn't expect to meet you here." These days in Yizhou, Qin Shubao lived a healthy life. Although his hair was gray, his face was ruddy.
Li Shimin looked Qin Shubao up and down, and said pleasantly: "I have been worried about your body. You think that your illness has been cured, that's good, that's good!" Qin Shubao and Li Shimin's relationship is very deep, because they are also sincere Feeling the joy, he continued: "There is still a position here, sit down!"
Qin Shubao hesitated and said, "How dare I sit with the emperor!"
"You can just sit down. Erlang and I both travel in plain clothes, so don't settle for so much etiquette." Li Yuan said, he and Qin Shubao are also acquaintances, and now Qin Shubao often goes to the chess and card room to play mahjong with him.
Qin Shubao heard the words and said: "The old minister will be more polite." Qin Shubao cupped his hands to the three of them. ,
Li Shimin pushed Qin Shubao onto the chair, and scolded with a smile: "Why are you getting older and more verbose now? Let me just sit down. Tell me how Yizhou is doing now."
Mentioning this Qin Shubao was a little emotional, and said: "Your Majesty, you don't mind if you say it. Only when you arrive in Yizhou do you know what life and enjoyment are. After living for most of your life, you can only feel comfortable now. This is all thanks to His Royal Highness Shu. Take care!"
"Qin Huaiyu and I are brothers and sisters. It is my job to entertain Duke Yi, so there is no need to thank you." Li Yin waved his hand and said.
Li Shimin was silent for a while when he heard the words. He still had some doubts about Li Yuan's praise of Yizhou. Now that Qin Shubao said the same thing, he had to believe it. It seems that Yizhou is really a good place for leisure and cultivation, as Li Yuan said. . I couldn't help but looked at Li Yin again, thinking that this kid really has a way, and in two years the rich and powerful in Chang'an will come to Yizhou to enjoy life, he said: "Since Shubao has said so, It seems that this king is right this time, eat first, and after dinner, you take me around Yizhou City."
"Don't worry, the emperor, this is on the veteran." Qin Shubao patted his chest and said.
While eating, the four of them discussed where to go first. Li Shimin came this time mainly to send the prince and princess to study, so he was still interested in the college, so he said that he would go to a few colleges in Yizhou after dinner. Qin Shubao and Li Yuan have been here for a long time. I haven't been there either, so I agree.
"Well, the taste is really good, and I feel very comfortable after eating this thing." I ate two bowls of bean curd in a row. Li Shimin was full of praise.
Li Yan wiped his mouth, and said: "Father, you are right, eating this tofu brain is very warming up. And I never get tired of eating it."
"His Royal Highness Shu is right. It has become my habit to drink a bowl of tofu nao every morning." Qin Shubao said with a smile.
Nodding his head, Li Shimin stood up, "That's true, we'll come back tomorrow, let's finish eating, let's go!" After all, he stood up and walked out, he couldn't wait to see other things up.
Li Yin, Li Yuan, and Qin Shubao smiled at each other, and followed behind to leave the Wei's restaurant.
The four of them went out, and under the guidance of Li Min, they planned to go to the Government Affairs University first. According to Li Shimin's intention, Li Zhi's three princes were all planning to study at the Government Affairs University, so Li Shimin was most concerned about the Government Affairs University.
"Liulang, what do these people do?" On the way, Li Shimin pointed to Marquis Wu who was wearing a flying fish suit. He had met several times along the way. Can't stop asking.
Li Yan glanced at the five-member patrol team, and said: "Father, they are Marquis Wu, responsible for the security of Yizhou City, and Marquis Wu patrols every area."
"So it's Marquis Wu." Li Shimin finally understood.
While speaking, the four of them had already arrived at the gate of Yizhou University. Above the five-meter-high open gate, the words Yizhou Government Affairs University were written on a majestic plaque, which was eye-catching.
Li Shimin nodded, but he was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he stood at the door and looked at these students wearing the same clothes, and asked, "Liulang, why are they all wearing the same clothes!"
Li Yin said: "Father, they are all wearing school uniforms issued by the school, and they are all provided by the school for free. The reason why they have to wear school uniforms is that it is easy to identify these students and prevent outsiders from entering the school. At the same time, among these students Some are poor, some are rich, and you can’t tell if you wear the same clothes, which can also reduce the confrontation between the poor and the rich in the school, and make the atmosphere of the school more harmonious.”
"Well, it makes sense, but you are thoughtful." Li Shimin praised, "Come on, let's go in."
"Yes, father!" Li Yin led the three of them into the school. Many of the students who came and went recognized Li Yin. Come to school and give a speech.
Li Yuan looked at the school environment while walking. When he passed the playground, he looked at the students running back and forth on the playground and said, "Is this football?"
"That's right, this is football. Huaiyu goes to the Military University to play this every night, and even brought the football back. I've seen it before. It's this kind of white ball." Qin Shubao said.
When Li Shimin saw this kind of sports, he became interested. He kept staring at the players on the playground, and finally stood on the edge of the playground to watch. Hearing what Li Yuan and Qin Shubao said, he said, "Football? Interesting, Liulang, what is this about?" How to play."
"This is actually very simple, that is, each team has eleven players against each other. It is the same as polo, but the rules are different..." Li Yin stood in front of Li Shimin and talked eloquently, describing the rules of football. Li Shimin listened frequently. Nodding, the interest is getting more and more.
"It's very interesting. After returning to Chang'an, my father will also start a football team. How about coming to Yizhou to compete with you?" Li Shimin laughed.
Li Yin's heart moved. He is now planning to turn football into a national sport. He may hold the Yizhou Cup or even the World Cup in the future. Li Shimin's words fit his heart. It's time to wait for the father to bring the football team to Yizhou."
"Hahaha... good!" Li Shimin laughed, and Li Yuan and Qin Shubao also laughed.
After staying on the playground for a while, Li Min took Li Shimin to the teaching area and walked around the student dormitory and cafeteria. Li Shimin was quite satisfied with these hardware facilities. According to his words, the lives of these students are better than Let's go to the life of the nobles in Chang'an.
And in the school, he saw a projector for video teaching, and he was amazed at this magical thing. After turning around, he was surprised by too many things, which can be said to emerge endlessly. Overwhelmed.
After learning about the School of Political Affairs, Li Yin accompanied Li Shimin to Yizhou Military University, where Li Shimin saw the combat laboratory established by Li Yin.
After entering the combat laboratory, Li Shimin was immediately attracted by the drawings all over the wall. Some of these drawings were detailed maps of Yizhou, some were full maps of Tang Dynasty, and some were full maps of Japan, Goguryeo, and even Europe. , and the largest one, which occupies one wall, is a world map.
"This is the world map?" At this time, Li Shimin, Li Yuan and Qin Shubao were all standing beside the huge world map, and the three of them had almost the same expressions—surprised, he probably didn't expect the world to be so big.
Li Yin explained: "Yes, father, this is the world map, and our Tang Dynasty is only a small part of it. There are still many people living in other vast lands."
Touching the map, Li Shimin felt that his faith collapsed in an instant. He used to think that the Tang Dynasty was the majority of the world, while other places were just small barbarian countries, but this map gave him a different interpretation. The world is very big. , so big that he didn't dare to imagine it.
Li Yuan and Qin Shubao were equally astonished. Li Yuan said: "The Han people have been fighting among themselves for thousands of years, why don't they know how to open up?"
"That's because we don't know how big the outside world is, and now we know." Qin Shubao said.
Li Shimin was stunned for a while, then suddenly said: "Father, someone has already done this about Shubao?"
The two wondered, "Who is it?"
Li Shimin turned around and said to Li Yin, "What do you think, Liu Lang?"
Li Yin knew that there were many things that Li Shimin couldn't hide from Li Shimin, and it was impossible for Li Shimin not to know that he won the Ryukyu with such great fanfare, so he said: "I know that I can't hide it from my father, but now I just occupied a Ryukyu. One step is to start from this Ryukyu, gradually conquer the whole world, and make Datang an empire on which the sun never sets!" (.)
