"First of all, let me tell you what it means to borrow chickens to lay eggs."

"In order to let everyone understand this policy, I will start with a short story first. Listen carefully. It is a very good story."

The children immediately felt energetic and cheered, "Wow, my uncle is going to tell a story again."

Both of them were tilted their little heads, gathering around Gu Tianya to concentrate, with deep desire flashing in their eyes, which seemed extremely focused and eager.

Gu Tianya slowly began to say: "The story of borrowing chickens to lay eggs is said to have originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. There was a rich man in Qi State. The money treasury in his family was piled up into a mountain. He was very rich and everyone envied. One day, his servants suddenly told the people everywhere that the head of his family wanted to raise chickens, but he was worried that he had no experience, so he wanted to find someone to borrow some hens first, and then take action after he had accumulated experience. The servants also promised the people that if their head of the family raised the chickens to death, they would pay double compensation. If they didn't raise them, they would return the chickens. Although they would not pay the reward, they could get a friendship between their heads..."

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, hens were considered a property in the people's homes. If ordinary people wanted to do this, they would definitely be drowned by spits. However, it would be different for the rich to borrow things!"

When Gu Tianya said this, he looked at the focused children and asked casually: "Guess, can that rich man from Qi borrow a chicken?"

"It can, it can, it must!"

The children almost answered the same answer.

Gu Tianya smiled happily and asked again: "Why can it be? Tell me your reasons. If anyone can answer, my uncle will think he is a very smart and good child."

The little guys were immediately excited and rushed to express their understanding. Some said, "That rich man is rich, and the people are not worried that he can't pay back his debts."

Gu Tianya nodded and praised, "It's very good, this is a reason."

Another child said, "If he raises the chicken to death, he will compensate the people twice the price. This is a big profit business, and the people will definitely be willing."

Gu Tianya nodded again and said, "This reason is also very good."

Suddenly a little fat man spoke and said, "I didn't think of any reason, but I firmly believe that the rich man in the story will definitely borrow a chicken. The reason is very simple. After my uncle said that ordinary people couldn't borrow it, he said two more words, 'But'..."

As he said with confidence, he said proudly: "Since you have used the word 'but', I believe the rich man in the story has borrowed a chicken..."

Gu Tianya was stunned and looked at the fat man.

This little fat man is Li Tai, King of Wei.

After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand, flicked the little guy's head slightly, and said, "Qingque is playing clever, but it is also an answer. To reward you, today's schoolwork will be doubled..."

The little fat man cried out with a wow sound and said in tears: "Uncle, why do you have to double your studies? This is not a reward, this is a punishment. Uncle, you are unreasonable."

Gu Tianya laughed and said, "If you are unreasonable, you are unreasonable. You have added your coursework today. Who told you to be so smart? Smart children have to learn more."

The little fat man cried sadly.

The other children looked sympathetic.

But not far behind him, Li Jiancheng and others were obviously thinking. Zheng Guanyin said softly, saying with a hint: "Brother-in-law is correcting Li Tai's nature..."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said softly: "The child Qingque is indeed in nature who is opportunistic. If he was born in an ordinary family, this nature would be fine. But he is a royal descendant, so he will easily cause trouble."

Zheng Guanyin glanced at Gu Tianya from afar and said, "Tianya's brother-in-law's method is very good. He did not directly suppress Qingque, but instead used a little academic punishment to make the little guy subconsciously feel that he had done something wrong. However, he did not directly point out Qingque's mistakes in front of the children. This is to prevent the children from uniting to isolate Li Tai."

Li Jiancheng nodded again and said happily: "The brother-in-law of Tianya is good at being a teacher."

Zheng Guanyin laughed and suddenly said, "Are you guessing what reason will he tell the children at the end of this story?"

Li Jiancheng let out a breath and smiled: "You'll know if you keep listening."

The couple looked over there again.

...

At this time, many children had already answered Gu Tianya's questions.

Children are innocent and have colorful answers, but no matter how they answer, most of them cannot avoid the fact that the people are not worried about losses.

Only one little girl is unique.

But when Princess Changle suddenly spoke timidly, she said with uncertainty: "Uncle, Changle also thought of an answer. I have thought about it for a long time, but I am not sure if it is right."

If a child is willing to take the exam, it is the greatest educational achievement, especially Changle, who is shy, which makes Gu Tianya feel even more relieved.

He quickly encouraged, "Don't be afraid, answer boldly."

Princess Changle pursed her lips and said carefully: "Brother Chengqian just replied that if the chicken is raised to death by the rich, it will be compensated twice as much as possible, so the people are willing to borrow chickens because they don't have to worry about losses. The same is true for the other brothers. Everyone thinks of the chickens being raised to death and can compensate..."

The little girl said, glanced at Gu Tianya, and plucked up the courage and said, "Changle thinks, why don't we think about it the other way around? For example, the chicken was not raised to death."

Gu Tianya was stunned at first, then he showed great interest and encouraged him: "Changle continues and my uncle is looking forward to your wonderful answer."

Princess Changle blinked her eyes and said in a soft voice: "The chicken was not raised to death. It lived in the homes of the rich during the loan period. Since it ate good food, it would inevitably increase the weight. Then, after the rich returned the chicken to the people, it would be a benefit for the people."

“Huh?”

The children around him spoke out in unison and asked curiously: "Why is it a benefit for the people?"

Princess Changle was stared at by a group of older brothers and sisters, and her face suddenly turned red.

However, the little guy mustered up the courage this time and said loudly: "Because the weight of the chicken has increased, it is not his own food. Although this benefit is small, it is purely a waste of money..."

The little girl stopped when she said this, looked at Gu Tianya timidly with her little head, and said shyly: "Uncle, is Changle's answer too petty?"

"No, not at all!"

Gu Tianya shook his head heavily, and a hint of relief appeared on his face.

He leaned over and stared at Princess Changle and said in surprise: "Girl, do you know that your answer coincides with your uncle. Although the benefits are small, it is purely profitable. This is the simplest desire in the story and the policy support point that my uncle is about to implement..."

He said that, gently pinched Changle's little face and smiled, "I really didn't expect that your uncle's policy would be seen through by you, the little girl. No wonder your aunt often told me that Changle is a very smart and good boy."

The little girl's face suddenly turned red with joy.

The other children looked envious.

Gu Tianya straightened up and said, "The first half of the story of borrowing chickens to lay eggs is indeed that all the people lent the chickens to wealthy families. As for the reason they are willing to lend, just like your answer just now, the people are not worried about losses, and the people feel that they are making money in vain, so they borrowed it."

He continued to tell the story again, and said, "But the intention of the rich man to borrow chickens was not to accumulate experience in raising chickens. He just made a fortune by making money and wanted to get some eggs for nothing. The second half of the story is exactly the case. The rich man really gained countless eggs. He made a fortune in vain and made a small fortune."

As he said that, he stopped suddenly, looked at the children, and smiled and said, "Uncle, I am also going to learn from the rich man who borrows chickens to lay eggs. Guess what I am going to do?"

The children's eyes suddenly became bright.

Li Chengqian was the first to rush to speak and said hurriedly: "As the lord of Youyun, my uncle will definitely not be petty when doing things. What you mean by borrowing chickens and laying eggs is definitely not borrowing chickens from the people."

Li Tai raised his little hand tremblingly and said pitifully: "If my answer is wrong, will my uncle want to add my studies again?"

Gu Tianya glanced at him and said in a gentle voice: "If you don't do two punishments in one thing, you will get rewards. However, Qingque, you like to take advantage of loopholes, so you should first think about whether your answer is appropriate before you answer."

The little fat man hesitated and his face was entangled.

After a long time, the little guy finally couldn't help it and said loudly: "I think my uncle is going to borrow money to make money, just like borrowing chickens to lay eggs in the story. You uncle, you took us around Youzhou New City today, just to teach us government affairs while wandering. What is the biggest government affairs in Youzhou New City? It's just that hundreds of thousands of houses have no money to build, so your purpose is to find a way to get money to build a house."

When he said this, the little guy seemed to have tried his best and said loudly: "As for where the money comes from, it is basically aristocratic and foreign tribes. The aristocratic families have been tied to Youzhou by my uncle with the cotton industry, but the foreign tribes have not yet boarded your uncle's pirate ship... Um, he has not yet become his uncle's good friends, so his uncle's target is foreign tribes. Those fools and scammers are rich and easy to cheat, and they will pounce on them as long as they are given a bone."

The little guy said what he was thinking loudly, then spread his hands like a hob, and said, "I'm done, how can I punish my uncle? At worst, it's just a little more than a lesson. Qingque's handwriting is ruined..."

Gu Tianya stared at him with bright eyes.

After a long time, I let out a long sigh.

He slowly squatted down, looked at the little guy, and said earnestly: "Among all the children, you are a very smart one. The reason why my uncle punished you just now was because he was worried that you would not make good use of your intelligence."

Li Tai's eyes were a little red.

Gu Tianya reached out and stroked his forehead gently, and said softly: "Promise my uncle, you must make good use of your intelligence in the future. Do things with grand and generous means, okay?"

Li Tai pursed his lips and said with a grievance: "Uncle, did I still answer wrong? The answer I just said, "Is it right? Is it true that I am in danger? I know that you don't like children with dark minds the most."

"No! No this time!"

Gu Tianya continued to stroke his forehead gently and said solemnly: "This time, your answer is exactly the same as the strategy my uncle wants to use. To be honest, I have indeed focused on the money of foreigners, and I really want to put a trap on them. This is a conspiracy, so I am not qualified to accuse your answer."

He said for a while and said earnestly: "But, my uncle still hopes that you will not learn from me in the future. As for the reason, it is very simple. I am the leader of the Land of Youyun. To put it bluntly, I am the leader of a large area. The status of this leader is roughly similar to your father. You can regard me as an emperor who has not yet founded the country and ascended the throne..."

"As the emperor, for the sake of the people's life, we must do everything we can. As long as we can succeed, we can do whatever we can."

"But you are different. You will be a king's title in the future. You have Brother Cheng Qian above you, and he is the one who inherits the throne. As a king, you cannot do what the emperor should do... that is, you cannot do whatever you want to succeed."

Li Tai said with a thoughtful face and said softly: "Because of different identities, the methods of doing things cannot be the same, right?"

As he said that, he looked at Gu Tianya and said, "Are you worried that I will cause trouble to the imperial power?"

Gu Tianya nodded without hesitation and said, "You are a smart child."

Li Tai suddenly said: "What if I go to build a piece of land by myself and become an emperor who founded and ascended the throne?"

Gu Tianya was stunned at first, then his eyes flashed, saying, "If that were the case, my uncle would be very pleased. I no longer suppress your nature, but would stand behind you to support me. At that time, you were the emperor of a country and wanted to seek happiness for all people. You can use any means to your enemies, and your uncle will support you even if he caused a great disaster."

Li Tai's eyes were red, and a little child suddenly found the direction of his life and shouted: "Uncle, I must support you in the future."

Gu Tianya Zheng pointed his head and said, "I'll wait for that day to come."

He was really relieved.

Although it did not correct Li Tai's nature.

But it will eliminate the disaster for the Li royal family in the future.

After this transformation, Li Tai should no longer be the Li Tai in history.

...

Not far behind him, Li Jiancheng sighed and said to Zhaoning and others: "Did you see that, it should be like this to educate children. Forced preaching will never be as interesting as you mothers, you brother-in-law who learn more about Tianya..."

Zheng Guanyin nodded and said sincerely: "Brother-in-law is indeed good at being a teacher."
