My house's electrical wiring dates back to the Tang Dynasty.

Given Li Shimin's wisdom, it's impossible that he wouldn't have considered the limitations on craft production that Li Mingbo pointed out.

I didn't realize it was because he hadn't thought of it that way before.

Upon hearing Li Mingbo's reminder, Li Shimin felt a chill run down his spine.

It's not just about iron smelting, but also construction and agriculture...

Li Shimin had a sudden inspiration and spread out a piece of paper to write.

In the end, Li Shimin still wanted the dazzling 5000-bead sword.

Li Mingbo gave ten bulletproof vests to Li Shimin and ten to Li Chengqian.

Keep ten for yourself.

"Your Majesty, I went to the Eastern Palace to lay the power lines and made contact with the Crown Prince. As of now, the Crown Prince has not rebelled, and anything is possible," Li Mingbo said.

"Rebellion?" Li Shimin heard another new word.

I thought to myself, this phrase must be from a thousand years in the future.

"In our time, technology is advanced and there are all kinds of disciplines, among which education is the most important."

"Educators and psychologists have found that children in the 12 to 18 age range are in the rebellious stage of adolescence."

"The main manifestations include significant mood swings, challenging authority, increased self-awareness, changes in social behavior, and attempts at risky behaviors. These manifestations are closely related to the need for independence and identity exploration, and usually appear between the ages of 12 and 18, but there are significant individual differences."

After finishing his sentence, Li Mingbo took a swig of cola.

The term "rebellious period" is a relatively recent one.

This was likely common in the ancient Tang Dynasty.

This disease is generally not seen in children from poor families, but it is very common in pampered children like Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

"Go on," Li Shimin urged.

"Perhaps Your Majesty and the Empress also feel this way: when children are young, they are very obedient and well-behaved, but when they grow up, they become disobedient. Even if they pretend to listen in front of you and agree very sincerely, they don't change at all," Li Mingbo asked Li Shimin.

"That's right, why is that?"

"This is also a psychological manifestation of adolescence. On the surface, they pretend to accept it, but in their hearts they are doing the opposite and resisting it. Your Majesty, because we humans have our own thoughts, people are different from each other."

"When children are young, they don't have their own opinions and listen to their parents. But as they grow up, they gradually develop their own ideas and worldviews. If you force your own ideas and worldviews on them, they will resist it. So it usually goes in one ear and out the other."

"Everyone has different life experiences and upbringing, and their personalities and achievements are also different. Even fathers and sons are the same; just take Your Majesty and the Crown Prince as an example."

"You are a great emperor throughout the ages, an emperor who rose from the ashes, while the crown prince is different. The crown prince grew up in a relatively stable world, never experienced hardship, and does not understand the suffering of the people."

"Your Majesty, you cannot use your standards to judge the Crown Prince. Not only is it impossible for the Crown Prince to do it, but throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, no one of his age can do it."

"Appropriate pressure is acceptable, but everything should be done in moderation. If it exceeds that limit, it's like a bow that's been pulled too taut and will break. It's the same principle."

Li Mingbo finished speaking and then stopped.

"Speak," Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, I am not an expert in this field either. I will bring you some books on parenting methods next time." After saying this, Li Mingbo felt that the Crown Prince's daily study time was too long, so he mentioned it to Li Shimin and asked him to reduce the teaching time and increase some social activities.

"If you want to cultivate a qualified crown prince, the current method won't work. Otherwise, Yang Yong, the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, would have become emperor long ago. Your Majesty, have you ever seen a founding crown prince who eventually became emperor?"

"Especially those instructors, including Li Gang, the former Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince? If he's that capable, why couldn't Yang Yong of the Sui Dynasty become emperor?"

Li Gang could be considered a crown prince killer; whoever he taught was doomed.

During the days when Li Mingbo was laying electrical wires at the East Palace, he saw Li Chengqian attending classes every day.

It's even more tiring than being a senior in high school today.

If this continues, it's no wonder they can't maintain mental health.

Li Mingbo's question left Li Shimin speechless.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Li Gang is a learned man, but doing scholarship and teaching are two different things. Just because you are good at scholarship does not mean that you can teach others."

Li Mingbo left after saying a few words, took his things, and left.

Looking at Li Mingbo's back, Li Shimin thought to himself, "This kid is really a modern person. Li Gang died in the fifth year of Zhenguan, and you really didn't know?"

However, upon closer examination, what this kid said makes sense.

Li Shimin sent several horse-drawn carriages to take Li Mingbo's belongings away.

This included a double-door refrigerator and ten bulletproof vests, among other things.

After Li Mingbo left, Li Shimin kept thinking about Li Mingbo's words and sent someone to deliver a double-door refrigerator to the East Palace.

Li Mingbo's Yongchangfang is just one street away from Donggong.

Pass through Yanxi Gate, to the west gate of Yongchangfang.

Several horse-drawn carriages, laden with goods, arrived at the gate of the Li residence.

"Greetings, Ah Lang." Wang Chao, Ma Han, and the other three servants came out, and Li Mingbo asked them to move their things inside.

Soon after, Lotus also came out from the backyard.

Li Mingbo asked Juhua to clean the refrigerator thoroughly, plug it in, and set the power setting to level 3.

Then I put the large bottles of Coke and ten cans of Tsingtao beer I bought into the freezer.

Ten bulletproof vests and boots were distributed to the four people, and Old Zhao also received one.

Next, Li Mingbo put the sword and a lance into the carriage, and under the protection of four family guards, he brought Lianhua to the Yiguo Duke's Mansion in Taipingfang.

"Young Master Li has arrived! Please come in quickly." The old steward of the Qin family greeted Li Mingbo and his entourage with a smile when he saw Li Mingbo's carriage stop at the gate, and invited them inside.

Li Mingbo is now a distinguished guest of the Qin family. Qin Shubao has said that there is no need to ask permission when Li Mingbo arrives.

"Thank you. Is the Duke of Yi home?" Li Mingbo asked as he helped Lianhua down from the carriage.

"They are in the main hall, and the Duke of Su is also there."

"General Cheng is here too, saving me the trouble of making the trip." Li Mingbo was pleased to hear that Cheng Yaojin was also there.

"Go quickly and inform Ah Lang that Young Master Li has arrived," the steward said to the servants of the Qin household beside him.

The other person rushed inside.

"Butler, have someone move the things from the carriage into the main hall," Li Mingbo said to the old butler of the Qin family.

With so much manpower, you don't have to do anything yourself.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up! Don't you have any sense?" The old steward glared at the servant beside him.

Li Mingbo led the way, holding Lianhua's hand, with Old Zhao following closely behind, and four of his family retainers behind Old Zhao.

"Wang Chao, Ma Han, you don't need to come along. This is the Duke of Yi's residence; no one will assassinate me here," Li Mingbo said.

"Yes," the four guards replied, bowing, and then began to talk with the brothers from the Qin family.

No one knew about the bulletproof vests they wore underneath; it was a secret of the Li family.

However, the work boots he was wearing caught everyone's attention.

The four told their former brothers that they had changed their names.

As Li Mingbo entered the second courtyard, he saw Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin walking towards him.

Seeing so many people carrying boxes behind Li Mingbo, Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Shubao with envy and said, "Second Brother Qin, you've struck it rich."

"You'll die because of your mouth someday. You never know when or where you're talking." Qin Shubao glared at Cheng Yaojin, who had no choice but to shut up.
