Compulsory education in ancient times

Hearing this, the children's attention was immediately diverted, and they happily displayed the things they bought for Tao Jianran to see.

Tao Jianran looked at the innocent smiling faces of the children, and the anger in his heart was purified a lot.

Seeing Tao Jianran like this, Qi Bohan felt relieved.It was only then that he noticed that there seemed to be someone outside the door, and asked Ying San who followed the children today with his eyes.

Ying San replied: "Master, that is the little beggar that the little masters met on the road today when they went out today. They brought him back."

Hearing Ying San's words, the children remembered that they had forgotten a little friend outside.

Bao'er hurriedly said coquettishly to Tao Jianran: "Father, those little beggars are so pitiful, can we let them follow us?"

Tao Jianran did not agree, but said: "Let them live here first, and after the new year, Dad will send them to a nearby elementary school, okay?"

Bao'er heard the words, but she was not very satisfied: "Can't we let them follow all the time?"

Tao Jianran turned to look at Qi Bohan.

He couldn't make up his mind about this. It stands to reason that it is best not to keep these people of unknown origin by his side, so as not to bring unnecessary danger.

Seeing this, Bao'er knew that it was Daddy who made the decision this time, so she turned around and hugged Qi Bohan's thigh: "Daddy, just let them follow us~ okay~"

Tao Jianran's heart melted when Bao'er's little milk voice trembled.

However, Qi Bohan was unmoved, and only said: "If they perform well on the road, you can choose one to be your bodyguard."

"Only one." Bao'er pouted in dissatisfaction, "What about the older sister and younger brothers? Together, we can pick four, right?"

Qi Bohan really had no way to refuse this bargain, so he nodded and said: "Yes. But you can only pick people who are good performers, whom both father and I recognize."

Bao'er's mind was full of the first word Qi Bohan said, and he selectively ignored the following attributives, jumping up and down happily.

Qi Bohan had nothing to do with the prince who was spoiled by Tao Jianran, and asked the maids to take the little beggar down to resettle him.

On the other hand, Bao'er also told Tao Jianran about what they had gained from going out today: "Father, there are a lot of little beggars in Lianzhou, so there are a lot of poor people here?"

"But Dad said that Lianzhou is the richest place, how can there be so many poor people." Beibei pouted, wondering what to do.

"When things go wrong, there must be a demon." Belle spit out a common saying very calmly.

Seeing Beier's serious appearance, Tao Jianran couldn't help pinching Beier's cheek, and then asked the baby: "Then did the baby find anything today?"

Baby tilted his head: "Money can't disappear out of thin air, someone must have snatched away the money that belongs to the common people!"

Hearing this, Qi Bohan looked at the baby in surprise.

As a six-year-old child, being able to draw such inferences on his own can be said to be a genius.

Tao Jianran didn't just praise the baby this time, but everyone praised him again, and finally rewarded the baby with a gadget.

Bao'er is satisfied with these things, and she is not jealous of the baby's rewards, she is very complacent, even before going to bed at night, she is still chattering non-stop.

However, when Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan returned to their room, it was Qi Bohan who looked worried.

It was rare for Tao Jianran to see Qi Bohan's expression like this, and he was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

"Sanlang is too smart." Qi Bohan frowned slightly when he said this, as if he was praising.

"Baby is smart, isn't that good?" Tao Yanran was rarely able to guess what Qi Bohan was thinking.

"When I grow up in the future, a prince who is smarter than the emperor will not be a good thing for Jiangshan Sheji."

When Qi Bohan mentioned this, Tao Yanran understood what he was worried about.

But he doesn't think it's a bad thing: "As long as we teach the baby well, don't let him have a different heart. It will be a great blessing for Rui Chao to have such a capable prince to help Bao'er in the future."

"People's hearts are unpredictable. Even if he doesn't disagree for a while, it's hard to guarantee that someone with a heart will talk too much in his ear, and he will have a disagreement." Qi Bohan is suspicious, not to mention his father's matter in the front, and he is very sensitive to such things. Extremely sensitive.

Regarding this, Tao Yanran did not dare to make a guarantee: "If he has a different heart at that time, it will be fine to take away his power so that he can't make waves. Now we should worry about how to train Bao'er yes."

It is not a bad thing for a baby to be smart, but it is the biggest bad thing for Bao'er to be unsuccessful.

When Qi Bohan heard this, he squinted at Tao Jianran: "If you continue to let them both receive the same education, it will be a matter of time before the crown prince is inferior to Saburo."

Tao Jianran was speechless at these words.

Naturally, smart students benefit more from the same educational resources.

Tao Jianran felt a little guilty, and said awkwardly: "Then from tomorrow onwards, you should bring more Bao'er."

"He's too playful now, so don't indulge him too much." After Qi Bohan finished talking to Tao Yanran, he didn't want the two of them to get into a fight over their children's education, so he changed the subject directly, "You're tired today too. Take some rest, the dark guards should be able to find out something tomorrow."

Tao Jianran heard the words, obediently took off his coat, and climbed into Qi Bohan's arms.

In the dead of night, the dungeon where Li Xiuwei and Shen Pengju were imprisoned was surrounded by more than a hundred people, and it could be said that it was airtight.

But the common people were not trained after all, and they began to doze off one after another as the night fell.

Just when he was feeling sleepy, a black figure sneaked into the dungeon while no one was paying attention.

When Li Xiuwei heard the movement, he immediately opened his eyes. There was no sleepiness in his eyes. Obviously, he knew that someone would come tonight.

The person who came was the assassin he sent out.

Li Xiuwei glanced at Shen Pengju who was sleeping soundly in the cell next door, and asked the assassin in a low voice: "How?"

"Only the Qian family was dealt with, the other families were on guard, and the people around the imperial envoy were also watching closely, and the subordinates had no way of attacking."

Li Xiuwei was very dissatisfied when he heard the words, but he was afraid of waking up Shen Pengju, so he could only take a deep breath to calm his emotions, and then put his eyes on Shen Pengju: "Go and deal with him."

The assassin responded, and stepped forward to chop off the dilapidated iron locks in the prison, and slowly approached Shen Pengju with a dagger.

At this moment, a hidden guard suddenly appeared, and cut off the assassin's tendons in the blink of an eye.

Although this assassin could kill Patriarch Qian, his actual ability was to kill ordinary people, otherwise he wouldn't have been stalking him, and he would have been easily spotted by the hidden guards.

The dark guard took care of the assassin, and suddenly turned his head to look at Li Xiuwei.

Li Xiuwei shuddered at the bloody and brutal look in the dark guard's eyes, and sat down on the ground.

At this time, Shen Pengju, who was sleeping soundly, was finally awakened. Looking at the scene in front of him and the smell of blood lingering from his nose, he was so frightened that he urinated.

The hidden guard didn't bother to pay attention to him, locked the cell door again, and left with the assassin.

Only then did Shen Pengju come to his senses, and looked at Li Xiuwei in shock: "You wanted to kill me just now?"

"Li Tongpan, don't talk nonsense if there is no evidence, and don't be provoked by others to hurt our feelings." Li Xiuwei smiled, thinking like a Buddha of joy, "I just pretended not to hear what Li Tongpan said just now. , don’t say that again in the future, you know?”

Looking at Li Xiuwei's hypocritical face, how could Shen Pengju be fooled: "Do you think I'm as stupid as that guy Qian Guang? Let me tell you, as soon as I die, those deeds you did will be made public immediately!"

Hearing this, Li Xiuwei immediately took off the disguise on his face, and said viciously: "You'd better not do this, otherwise your wife, children, and your family will all be ruined!"

When Shen Pengju heard the words, he really hesitated.He stopped arguing with Li Xiuwei and went back to sleep against the wall.

Li Xiuwei saw that a small general judge dared to belittle him so much, his anger became even worse, and he couldn't fall asleep all night!

On the contrary, Tao Jianran slept peacefully all night in Qi Bohan's arms.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he knew that the assassin had been captured and had recruited a lot of things.

It turned out that five years ago, a huge iron mine was discovered in a mountain a hundred miles south of Lianzhou Prefecture.

Li Xiuwei was greedy for profit, and began to use various methods to deprive the people of their freedom, and then sent them to work as coolies in the iron mine.

And the iron ore mined will go south along the canal and be sold to Nanman and Korea.

This is one of the reasons why Nanman and Goryeo, two small countries, dared to challenge Ruichao.

And even after the defeat of these two countries, they still kept the iron ore deal with Li Xiuwei, and they lied to everyone!

Since Li Xiuwei would send valuable gifts to the surrounding prefectures every year, no one has ever exposed the matter in Lianzhou!

After Tao Jianran learned about it, his heart suddenly calmed down: "These two smuggling routes can last for so many years, and it must involve more than just Jinling. It must be thoroughly investigated."

"This is very involved, and it will take a lot of time and energy to investigate. Why don't you send someone from the court to investigate." Qi Bohan also said very calmly.

"Just Yuan Shajing, I can't trust others." Tao Yanran found that the available manpower was still too small.With such a big Ruichao, Yuan Shajing couldn't let Yuan Shajing, a majestic Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, run out every day.

Qi Bohan had no objection.Added: "There are also Goryeo and Nanban, you let Xi Tianyun deal with it, and spit it out as much as you take."

This is what makes Qi Bohan most angry. Two small countries that have bowed their heads and proclaimed their vassals dare to hide this from them.

If they are spared lightly, I am afraid that any country will dare to pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth in the future!
