Chapter 1000: Teaching by Precept and Example

Ten days later, the weather has completely warmed up. There are already farmers in the fields starting to prepare for spring plowing.

In Xianyang Palace, Zhao Lang had just finished handling some political affairs and was walking towards Xiao Bailian's palace.

He feels uncomfortable without seeing his two children for a day. This is how he feels after becoming a father.

Just when he arrived at the palace gate, he heard Zhao Hao's cry.

"Mom, the baby knows it's wrong. Stop hitting him! It hurts so much!"

Zhao Lang immediately walked over and saw his big son being spanked by Xiao Bailian.

Weeping for father and mother and howling,

Zhao Anan looked on with a smile, barely applauding.

Zhao Lang stepped forward and said with a smile,

"Children can't be beaten all the time, just give them some punishment."

It is good to educate children, but rough corporal punishment can sometimes be counterproductive.

Seeing Zhao Lang, Xiao Bailian stopped angrily.

Zhao Hao seized the opportunity and threw himself directly into his father's arms, saying with tears streaming down his face,

"Dad, mother beat me!"

Zhao Lang comforted the other party, and then asked Xiao Bailian,

"What did he do to make you so angry?"

Ji Wushuang said angrily at this time,

"I met with several young farm leaders today. They are also here to congratulate you. They are dressed more simply. But who knows, this guy said that these people are dirty and look down on them."

"How can I bear it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Lang's eyes suddenly narrowed, wondering whether he wanted to have a doubles match.

Of course, I thought about other things,

When children are so old, sometimes they are actually very simple and have no concept of good or bad.

Everything is done according to nature,

Some natures are not that good, and that's normal.

And in his personal opinion, human nature is inherently evil.

Just teach well.

Because if human nature is good, then "no tutoring" is the greatest compliment to people.

He has now seen some of his son's temperament, which is a bit domineering, but he is not a good person anyway.

Of course he doesn't think there's any problem. Royal children don't need good guys.

Therefore, it is even more important to teach them well,

Zhao Hao seemed to realize the danger and could not escape by running, so he quickly said,

"Dad, those old people are all dirty. Even if they are simple, they still have to keep them clean."

Ji Wushuang on the side said angrily,

"These people are busy with some farm work, so what if they are dirty?? Besides, which farmer keeps himself tidy all day long?"

The current small peasant leaders also have to work personally. This is Zhao Lang's order.

Leaders of farmers must never be separated from agricultural production. Only by remembering these things can we truly not be separated from farmers.

After all, if he wants smart managers, merchants are better than all farmers.

So Zhao Lang naturally understood what Xiao Bailian meant. Nowadays, there are no conditions in the countryside that he had in his previous life.

It won’t be paved with bluestone slabs like those in the palace.

There are dirt roads everywhere and you'd be kidding yourself trying to keep them tidy all the time.

Moreover, farmers are all running for their livelihoods, so who would care about these things?

Isn’t that too busy?

But trying to reason with the child doesn't work.

Personal experience is the way to go, so he smiled and said,

"Dad is free today. Let's go. I just want to take you to have some fun outside the city."

"Slave, please ask another painter to follow."

Although Zhao Hao didn't know why they brought a painter with them when they went out to play,

But the current situation is that it is a great blessing to be able to go out and play outside the city without being beaten by my mother.

So he smiled and said,

"Dad is the best to me."

As he said that, he hurriedly walked outside.

Zhao Lang showed a smile and said hello to Xiao Bailian.

Instead, Xiao Bailian glanced at her lively son with some distress, and then said to Zhao Lang,

"Alang, it's time for the child to grow, so don't be too harsh."

Zhao Lang replied with a smile,

"Don't worry, I know what's going on, and I will also bring the palace doctors with me."

After saying that, he followed Zhao Hao, who had already run away.

The palace has long been accustomed to royal travel. After all, both father and son are accustomed to running outside.

Soon, the group arrived outside Xianyang City.

"Dad, what are we here to see?"

Zhao Hao asked a little strangely at this time,

He thought he was going out to play, but he didn't expect that his father took him directly to the side of a farmland. Apart from the sky and the earth, there was nothing interesting to see here, except for a few farmers preparing for spring plowing.

Zhao Lang said calmly at this time,

"When you go to the fields, you naturally work."

"You are young, so your task is to do one-tenth of the work of these farmers."

Zhao Hao made everyone dumbfounded and said quickly,

"Dad, I..."

But before he finished speaking, he saw his father also going directly to the fields and working with the farmers.

I immediately knew that I couldn’t run away today, so I could only go to the ground honestly.

Following Zhao Lang with a frown on his face, he would do whatever the other party did.

He doesn't know how to work, but he can still learn.

But after doing it for less than a while, he started crying.

"Dad, the child was scratched."

As he spoke, he raised his arm, and there was indeed a small cut as wide as a fingernail on it.

Zhao Lang said lightly,

"Doctor, come and bandage it."

Looking at the tearful Zhao Hao,

"You can continue to cry, but when you cry, you have to finish what you are supposed to do!"

Zhao Hao knew his father's temperament, so he could only grumble and continue working.

The slave on the side could only watch and smile bitterly.

My master, this way of teaching people is too special.

At this moment, a slightly older voice came from the side,

"Guys, please ask for directions. Can Xianyang be ahead?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a dusty old man wearing simple clothes, holding a skinny old cow in his hand.

Asking them for directions,

Zhao Lang smiled at this time and said,

"Not far ahead."

The old man smiled and said thank you, and then left.

He just glanced at the two people working and couldn't help but said,

"Doing farm work is a good thing, but you didn't do it well, and then you delayed spring plowing."

Zhao Lang suddenly blushed. He did farm work today to teach by words and deeds.

This job is really average.

So he said sincerely,

"Please ask the old man for advice."

There is nothing wrong with being more modest about things you are not good at.

The old man was not polite. He tied up the old cow and went directly to the field.

He couldn't bear to see others wasting the fields, so he taught the two of them step by step.

Taking advantage of the break, Zhao Lang asked with a smile,

"Where did the old man come from?"

The old man replied with a smile,

"Coming from Liaodong."

Zhao Lang was stunned for a moment, Liaodong, that's too far!

So I couldn't help but ask,

"Come this far, what's the important thing?"

The old man replied,

"Of course there is an important period. His Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne. Do you think it will be important?"

Hearing this, the faces of the people around him became a little strange.
