Li Shimin

Bows and arrows, fishing nets, flints, rakes, shovels, plows, carts, hoes, samarium, buckets, pulleys, waterwheels, overturned carts, etc...

And at first wearing leaves, then wearing burlap, then silk, iron armor..."

"Gentlemen, the development of our human society is inseparable from the development of these tools, and it is also inseparable from the study of Gewu! In my mind, the study of Gewu not only includes various craftsman skills, but also includes various Astronomy, physics, mathematics, geometry, biology, navigation, people's livelihood, commerce, plants, agronomy, breeding... and dozens of other theories!"

"You don't have to believe it, but this Li Family Village, my boy, has already proved everything! From the basic necessities of life of the farmers, to even those objects such as smelting techniques, movable type printing and fountain pens, I think it is a symbol of social progress..."

"It is indeed the knowledge of social progress!"

At this moment, Wang Ji, Zuo Gong and the others couldn't help thinking.

In his heart, he was overwhelmed.

At first hearing, they would think that the learning that Xuan said is very absurd.

However, if you think about it carefully, you will find it very reasonable.

Moreover, such a huge school is unknown.

Could it be that this is really the school created by the third son of the Li family?

Even if they are great Confucianists, now they feel that their minds are in a mess and they can't believe it.

"So your kid's school is a hodgepodge of various schools?"

Suddenly, Li Gang on the side chuckled and said slowly.

"A hodgepodge?"

Immediately, Wang Ji and Zuo Gong's eyes lit up.

Isn't it a hodgepodge?

"The old man was almost fooled by your kid's mouth!"

What is Gewuxue, isn't it just picking out some knowledge that is believed to be beneficial to the development of the farm from the knowledge of the hundreds of schools in the Warring States Period, and then blending them together!

As for whether they were blended together, both Wang Ji and Zuo Gong still had some doubts.

In the entire Lijiazhuang, there is not a single person who is serious and knowledgeable.

"Hey, what gentlemen say is what they say!"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly, and didn't think about arguing.

Anyway, he didn't even think about how to develop the theory of Gewu, and now it's just a temporary talk.

Maybe, the two old men in front of him can help him think about it.

"Hmph, cunning boy!"

The two old men felt more and more that the kid in front of them was fooling them.

After glaring at Li Xuan, he lowered his head to eat.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian was always anxious. He could be sure that his third uncle was really trying to deceive these great scholars.

Except for the forge, he has never seen any of the piles of knowledge that his third uncle talked about.

After dinner.

In the front hall, a group of people formally sat together.

"The two gentlemen have made up their minds to really stay in Lijiazhuang?"

Li Xuan asked solemnly again.

Wang Ji and Zuo Gong: "..."

However, I still want to sigh.

"The old man has already promised you yesterday, and he will definitely not go back on his word!"

"Haha, that's great!"

Li Xuan's face brightened, and he shouted.

"housekeeper."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, the housekeeper Li Chang came up with two maidservants carrying two plates.

On a plate, there are four golden fountain pens, two of which are made of gold, and two of which are made of copper with gold tips.

Seeing this, Wang Ji and Zuo Gong's eyes lit up immediately.

"Gentlemen, these four pens are a gift from the boy to the two of you. There is ink on the side. You can try it out!"

As he spoke, Li Xuan bent down directly, and took out a few white papers from the coffee table.

Immediately, Li Chengqian, who was at the side, quickly taught Wang Ji and Zuo Gong to suck up ink for the pen.

Then, teach the writing posture.

Soon, the two old men could hold a pen and write on white paper.

Immediately, the two old men couldn't help staring at the writing on the paper with excitement.

"With such fine and clear handwriting, the name of the fountain pen really lives up to its reputation!"

"Don't worry, gentlemen!"

Li Xuan chuckled, and glanced at Li Chang who was beside him.

Li Chang hurriedly put down another plate as well.

Wang Ji, Zuo Gong and the others looked over curiously.

Three drawings!

"Please take a look, gentlemen, this one is the current map of Lijiazhuang, and these two are the drawings for the small courtyard that the two gentlemen are going to build!"

Li Xuan placed the three blueprints in front of several people one by one, and then said: "Where do you two gentlemen like to live? As for the layout of this small courtyard, which one do you like and what changes can you make?" ? As long as the two choose well, within two months, a small courtyard will be built for the two of you!"

"Is this the kind of courtyard that the Cui family boy and the Zheng family boy belonged to?"

It was just a floor plan, but Wang Ji and Zuo Gong still looked at it seriously for a while before raising their heads.

"The courtyards of the two gentlemen are comparable to their courtyards!"

Li Xuan said proudly.

The courtyards of Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were just built randomly at the beginning, how can they compare to the careful design this time?

"So, build it here! As for the courtyard, it will be built according to the courtyard chosen by King Jin!"

The two old men looked at each other, pointed to an open space next to the mountain, and said in unison.

Immediately, he took it away from the drawing and looked at the two pens seriously again.

Seeing this, Li Xuan also chuckled and took the blueprint away.

On the same day, Old Man Li Gang's fountain pen was also wrapped in red silk and satin in an exquisite wooden box, and handed over to Old Man Li, he raised Old Man Le's beard all the way!

The next thing will be much easier.

The butler gave an order.

Just after the spring plowing, all the farm households who have been idle.

Immediately, one by one rushed out of the house screaming, began to take off their clothes and rolled up their sleeves, and then straightened up.

They have been very proficient in building houses for the past two years.

And some older boys in the village also took part in with various rulers, or carrying iron shovels and shovels.

It can be said that the whole village is dispatched.

……

Chapter 579 Wang Ji: Improper Son of Man!

"Prince Jin, it's just an old man who built two small courtyards with two people, and he exhausted all the farmers so much, the old man feels ashamed!"

Li Xuan followed Wang Ji, Zuo Gong and others standing on the side of the road in the distance, looking at the orderly and busy construction site in front of him, Wang Ji was a little worried.

According to their understanding, after the spring plowing is completed, these common people will go to labor, or go to the city to work as some coolies, or go to the mountains to find some mountain goods, chop some firewood, fish and hunt, and can earn some money to subsidize their families.

But now, they can feel that all the farmers in the village, as long as they can move, are carrying all kinds of tools and working in the construction site.

"Exactly, building a house is not a matter of overnight, so don't be so anxious. It's good for the old man and others to live in the other courtyard of the Wangfu for the time being!"

Zuo Gong also followed suit.

They thought to themselves that they tossed these dealers with such fanfare, it was really a bit of a bully!

"You two gentlemen don't need to do this. It's natural for these households to build houses for their sons' wives!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, not taking it seriously.

"Besides, the two gentlemen don't have to feel guilty. Each of them works for a day, and the family will pay him twenty cents."

"That's good!"

Wang Ji and Zuo Gong breathed a sigh of relief this time, "In this way, these farmers will not be delayed in making money!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sneered.

"What does Prince Jin mean by this?"

Wang Ji was a little annoyed.

He really didn't understand why the third son of the Li family was so proud every day when he talked about the Li family village?

I don't know, how could a Zhuangzi who was a little bit richer make this kid so proud in front of great Confucians like the two of them?

Don't you know that as long as the two of them work hard, any Zhuangzi can become so rich?

"Sir, I don't know, this kind of farmers, last winter, just by selling vegetables, each family earned about [-] guan. I'm afraid they haven't taken it to heart for a long time!"

Li Xuan laughed.

Wang Ji and Zuo Gong's eyes gradually widened, their faces full of disbelief.

"Two hundred strings?"

You know, now a household in the Tang Dynasty can earn ten guan a year, and it is already a wealthy family, and they don't even need to do hard labor.

It's just that many families can't even earn five pennies a year.

And two hundred strings?

Their family couldn't afford so much cash for a while!

"Two hundred guan is not much!"

Li Xuan still had a flat face, "If you count the miscellaneous things in a year, some farmers can earn thousands of dollars!"

"Thousands?"

This time, Wang Ji couldn't help exclaiming.

Immediately, he stared at Li Xuan with disbelief.

"Isn't King Jin trying to deceive this old man?"

"cut!"

Li Xuan glanced at his mouth in disdain.

"It's only one thousand pens. The two gentlemen are great Confucianists in the world. How can they be so ignorant? A pen in Li Family Manor can be sold for one thousand pens by me, and those aristocratic families will rush for it.

Or, buying a few bottles of white wine, or selling some vegetables, chicken, duck and pig fish, isn't it easy to earn so much? "

"Tsk, King Jin is really proud!"

Wang Ji couldn't help but sneered, "It's just that the third son of the Li family, the dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, didn't want to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty and become an official in the court. Big disappointment!"

In the past few days, the old man Wang Ji also found out Li Xuan's temperament.

Therefore, when it comes to speaking, there is no worry at all.

"Sir, if you want this king to be an official in the court, do you also think that in the world, those black-hearted families should also be rectified?" Li Xuan laughed.

Wang Ji was stunned, thinking of the Jinyang Wang family, his expression changed slightly, and he continued: "When did the old man let you go to the court as an official? King Jin was born with supernatural powers, and he took over the frontier from the army to teach those barbarians a lesson. Hozen, or expand the territory for my Great Tang!"
