"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, "You waited for the hot pot a few days ago, but you ate pig meat? You ate pig brains, you ate pig belly?

Also, you have been in the canteen every day these few days, but you have eaten chicken, duck, fish, and pig meat? "

"Go back to the king, the students and others really ate it!"

A group of scholars quickly replied.

"So, don't you feel that those chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs are dirty?"

Li Xuan asked.

"This……"

All the scholars were stunned again.

"Why don't you speak?"

Li Xuan didn't stop. He didn't expect that even though he was already selecting honest scholars who didn't have any big ambitions, they still had to experience so many days in Lijiazhuang.

But these scholars still have such stinking problems!

"Also, since chickens, ducks, fish and pigs are also food, and crops are also food, why do you only look down on those who raise pigs and chickens and ducks, but never ridicule those farmers?"

"Could it be that this is your prejudice as a person who is literate and enlightened?"

All the scholars couldn't help lowering their heads.

"Besides, this king is very curious, why should you laugh at others?"

It's a pity that Li Xuan managed to catch an opportunity that could severely hit some of these scholars, so he certainly wouldn't let it go easily.

"At your age, apart from knowing a few words and writing a few words, this king really doesn't know, what else can you do?"

"My lord, we are familiar with the books of sages and sages, learn the knowledge of sages and sages, enter the court as officials, rule the world, and manage the people of the world..."

A scholar bowed his hand a little bit disobediently.

"Tsk!"

Li Xuan sneered again, his face full of disdain.

"Reading the books of sages and sages, what do you learn? From now on, I have nothing to be ashamed of."

"You ask yourself, the sage books we have learned, apart from showing the world how many books we have read and what allusions we know? What have you really learned? Even the most basic things narrated by the sages in the book I haven't learned the etiquette of being a human being!"

"Only reading is high, and everything is inferior?"

"Pooh!"

"The officials in the court all entered the court after reading the books of sages, enjoying the food and money offered to them by all the people in the world every day, and they even used their power from time to time to greedy for some money.

Think about it carefully, what have they brought to the people of the world? "

"Hmph, in the eyes of this king, you and other scholars, and those officials who only care about enjoying themselves and don't do practical things, are all moths in the world!"

"Any farmer, even the most humble farmer who raises pigs and chickens in your eyes, has a role for Bill and others!"

"You are not convinced?"

As if he could see the inner dissatisfaction in the eyes of those scholars, Li Xuan sneered and said: "Food is the most important thing for the people! Let me tell this king, if there are no farmers to grow food, and no farmers to raise chickens, ducks, fish and pigs, you will eat What?

Let you go so hard to plant crops, raise chickens, ducks, and fish. Can the food you grow and the chickens, ducks, and fish be enough for you to eat? "

"Without the farmers, you can starve to death as many of these scholars as there are!"

"But without you scholars, even those officials, the common people can still live happily as usual!"

"This……"

Following Li Xuan's words, the faces of the scholars began to change.

"Besides, don't you guys also want to go to the forge? Could it be that the forge is more noble than the farmers? This king really doesn't understand, the good ones are all working, why are you mocking them?"

"I don't want to pursue what kind of virtue you have had in the past. However, I hope that you will be in Lijiazhuang, with good morals and do things with all your heart!

You are all children from poor families, at least you are people who have read sage books, you should understand some things, and you are not stupid people.

The music stage in the forge was named the Marquess of Craftsman Mo for his many inventions in the Tang Dynasty. As long as you can grow wheat or rice with an yield of six stones per mu, this king will definitely ask your majesty to confer titles on you.

Or, if you can raise pig rings or chickens and ducks that everyone in the Tang Dynasty can eat meat, this king will definitely ask His Majesty to confer titles on you.

The rest of you don't need to be discouraged, as long as you can make great contributions, this king will ask His Majesty to confer titles on you!

Alright, I've finished what I need to say, if you have anything else to do, go find the butler! "

As he said that, Li Xuan didn't want to talk to these scholars, so he got up and left.

After being stunned for a moment, all the scholars stood up quickly, and bowed their hands to Li Xuan's back.

"Students send off the King!"

When Li Xuan walked away, the group of scholars slowly came back to their senses and looked at each other!

After that, he silently looked towards the butler Li Chang in the corner!

……

Chapter 788

Although Li Xuan's words didn't wake up these scholars like a drum at dusk and a bell at dawn, they gave them a severe blow.

At least, let these scholars truly realize their status.

So, they began to be honest, and under the leadership of Li Chang, they went to their respective positions!

As for Li Xuan, after returning to the main house, he gradually calmed down after drinking a cup of hot tea.

After a while, Li Chang opened the door, walked in from the outside, and bowed his hands to Li Xuan.

"Your Majesty, those scholars are all arranged!"

"good!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then remembered something, and asked Li Chang: "Housekeeper, did this king scold you a little bit hard just now?"

"Your Majesty is strict with those scholars for their own good. In the eyes of this old servant, it is not so cruel!"

Li Chang said.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, thought for a while, and ordered again: "Housekeeper, go get a piece of paper and a pen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang responded, then hurriedly walked to the desk beside him, picked up a piece of white paper and a pen, and placed them in front of Li Xuan.

Li Xuan directly picked up the pen and wrote on the paper:

"Scholars should be familiar with the books of sages and sages, imitate the sages, and be proficient in the knowledge of the world. They must know how to delve into all things in the world and understand the truth of all things, so that they can make good use of them. Use the principles of all things to unite knowledge and action to benefit the world. You can't make any achievements in the world!"

After finishing writing, he handed the blank paper to Li Chang.

"Housekeeper, copy 52 copies of this paper and give it to those scholars. This is my king's encouragement to them! In addition, each person will be rewarded with a full copper pen and a stack of one-inch thick white paper. The treatment of Lijiazhuang.

The rest of the treatment is the same as that of the stewards in the house! "

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

Li Chang said quickly.

"Go, I hope these scholars can increase the productivity of my farm, field and forge in Lijiazhuang again!"

Li Xuan waved his hand and said.

Although Li Chang couldn't understand Li Xuan's words, he could still guess some meanings.

He arched his hands at Li Xuan and walked out.

When Li Chang appeared in front of those scholars with a pen and blank paper, all the scholars couldn't help crying with joy.

"I also ask the Chief Manager to tell the king that we will definitely do our best and will never disappoint the high expectations of the king!"

"Very good!"

Li Chang nodded slightly, and continued: "The old man has one more thing to tell you gentlemen, since you have chosen your own work, you can check the books about your work in the library of the King's Bieyuan. Any money is needed.

In addition, if you gentlemen still know that there are other classics left in my Tang Dynasty, which are not in the library of the Great King's Bieyuan, every time a classic is taken back, the King will reward you with money! "

"Thank you housekeeper!"

All the scholars couldn't help but beam with joy.

In the next few days, a group of scholars were completely immersed in their respective jobs.

Every day, I go out early and return late, either in the library of other courtyards, or in the forging workshop, glass greenhouse, or in the chicken, duck and pig pen.

at the same time.

In Chang'an City, the dignitaries of the aristocratic families also recovered from the pain of hot pot one after another, and began to eat hot pot again.

Regarding this, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were full of joy.

In particular, on a certain day, several dignitaries from aristocratic families discovered that His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor and others also came to eat hot pot in the hot pot shop.

As a result, the hot pot shop became even more popular throughout Chang'an City, and those nobles from aristocratic families wished they could eat and live in the hot pot shop every day.

This continued for five or six days.

As the luxurious carriages entered Chang'an City, the patriarchs of families from all over the Tang Dynasty and the vassal princes of different surnames in the Tang Dynasty began to come to Chang'an City one after another.

The diners of the hot pot restaurant have once again become distinguished.

……

On this day, two days before the New Year's Eve, Li Chang walked in with a happy face.

"My lord, great joy!"

"Ok?"

Li Xuan was taken aback, "Why do you like it?"

"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back!"

Li Chang said quickly.

"Gao Ming is back?"

Li Xuan was startled, "Gao Ming captured Tubo so quickly?"

"This……"

Li Chang couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this old servant doesn't know!"

"Did Gao Ming come back alone, or did the army come back too?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it seems that His Royal Highness, Duke Dai, and all the young men have returned together!"

Li Chang said again.

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan, who had already sat up, lay down lazily again.

"It should be His Majesty who called Gao Ming back, just pay attention normally!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang responded and walked down.

However, what Li Xuan didn't expect was that the next day, those little bastards came to Li's Village in a bustling manner.

"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

All the little bastards, after performing the etiquette to Li Xuan, all looked at Li Xuan with grievances on their faces.

This surprised Li Xuan, "Why are you acting like a little daughter-in-law, but someone insulted you?"

"Master, you have made me wait for you!"

"Exactly, master, you urged me to lead the troops to attack Tubo, but you alone defended Tuyuhun, eating delicious food and spicy food, while we were suffering from the cold and suffering in Tubo!"
