Stunning beauty

into the night.

After a busy day, Li Ziye just found time to go to the west chamber to learn martial arts.

Li Ziye cherishes the hour of studying with Feng Manlou every day, and dare not waste a single minute.

Because, Feng Manlou is too punctual, saying that every hour is an hour, and he won't teach more than a second.

In the courtyard of the west wing.

The figures of the two intertwined, one was fast and the other was even faster.

The distance between Li Ziye's sword and Feng Manlou was always less than three inches. However, this three-inch distance seemed to be the end of the world, making it difficult for people to cross.

soon.

An hour has come.

Feng Manlou stopped, pointed at Jianfeng in front of him, and said calmly, "Okay, time is up."

Li Ziye cupped his fists, saluted respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Feng."

"It's a lot of progress."

Feng Manlou said a few words more rarely, and said, "However, with your current cultivation base, you will not be able to practice the seventh form of the Feixian Jue. The strength of your true energy is not enough."

"I've been trying to figure it out."

Li Ziye retracted his sword and said, "According to my current cultivation speed, I'm afraid it will take a year and a half to enter the middle stage of the third realm. It's too slow, so I have to think of another way."

"I can feel that you have at least three types of true qi in your body. Compared with ordinary people, your true qi strength is considered outstanding. However, the seventh move of Feixian Jue should be a move that can only be cultivated with difficulty in the fourth realm. It’s not surprising that you are lacking in true qi after studying in a big realm, I think, even if you enter the middle stage of the third realm, you won’t be able to completely solve this problem.” Feng Manlou said calmly.

"Mr. Feng, is there any good way?" Li Ziye asked.

"No."

Feng Manlou said indifferently, "Unless you can find a divine object of the level of Tianshu, even if you don't enter the five realms, you can continuously gather the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, and there will be no problem of exhaustion of true energy."

"Book of Heaven?"

Li Ziye touched his chin when he heard the words.

It seems to make sense.

How about borrowing it from the old man of Confucianism?

The next day.

It's not yet dawn.

Li Ziye rushed to Taixue Palace.

Instead of going to the north courtyard, he ran towards the small courtyard where the head of Confucianism was located.

On the way, no one stopped him.

In this world, there are basically no people who dare to break into the East Courtyard. Therefore, the East Courtyard does not need expert guards from the Confucian sect.

"The head of Confucianism."

In front of the east courtyard, Li Ziye stopped and shouted, "Boy, I found out my conscience and decided to tell you how to help the people survive the cold winter."

"come in."

In the small courtyard, the old voice of the Confucian head echoed.

When Li Ziye heard the Confucian chief's response, he rushed in.

at the same time.

In front of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The Fourth Prince Mu Bai and the Ninth Princess Murong boarded the carriage and rushed to the Eldest Prince's Palace together.

Because of her brother's affairs, Princess Jiu didn't even return to the palace, and she was heartbroken.

"Brother, when you arrive at the Great Emperor's residence in a while, don't talk, and do everything according to my winks."

Inside the carriage, Murong looked at his elder brother and exhorted him very worriedly.

"it is good."

Mu Bai nodded in response.

Taixue Palace.

In the small courtyard on the east side.

Confucius got up very early to clean the yard, no matter how big or small he was, he seldom troubled others.

"Confucian chief, cleaning the yard is such a trivial matter, how can you do it yourself as an old man."

Li Ziye stepped forward, grabbed the broom, and said flatteringly.

Kong Qiu looked at the appearance of the boy from the Li family in front of him, and knew without thinking that this guy had something to ask for, but he was not in a hurry, and was busy tidying up the yard first.

"Confucian chief, haven't you always wanted to know how to help the people survive the cold winter?"

While sweeping the yard with a broom, Li Ziye said, "In winter, the biggest troubles are heating and the growth of food. I don't have a good solution for the food problem. After all, crops need sunlight to grow, and light sources are artificially produced. It's too complicated. With the technology of this era, it's impossible to make things like generators and incandescent lamps. Even if I manage to make them, it's almost impossible to mass-produce them. Therefore, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, but .”

Speaking of this, Li Ziye paused, looked serious, and said, "For the heating problem, I have some solutions, that is, let the imperial court send people to find the open-pit coal mines and the oil reservoirs on the surface. Mining is relatively simple and does not require too complicated techniques. After the collection is returned, it can be used after simple processing. I also know these processing methods. For the sake of Confucianism, the processing fee is [-]% off!"

"Let the court find it?"

Kong Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Since you understand these things, why hasn't the Li family taken any action in this regard all these years?"

"no need."

Li Ziye replied, "There are many ways to earn money. There is no need to touch these things. Both coal mines and oil deposits are far beyond this era. Moreover, the development of these things is likely to be used in wars. What I don't want to see, if the winter is not approaching, I will not say these things."

"Li family, don't interfere?" Kong Qiu continued to ask.

"Ah."

Li Ziye nodded and said calmly, "The Confucian leader should know that in the Shang Dynasty, no matter whether it was iron ore or gold, there were clear laws and regulations, and private mining was not allowed. Coal mines and oil deposits are also mines. , the reason why the law does not stipulate is only because the world does not know the use of these two things. Once the functions of raw coal and crude oil are developed, the imperial court will definitely not tolerate such things as private mining. At that time, the Li family's It will be a big trouble, and you may even be charged with an unwarranted crime, so the Li family will definitely not touch these two things."

"Your words are indeed reasonable."

Kong Qiu nodded and said, "However, the Li family can't mine these two minerals privately, but only the Li family knows the subsequent processing technology, which is enough for the Li family to make a fortune."

"The court eats meat, and the Li family always wants some soup." Li Ziye smiled.

"How are you going to tell the court about this?" Kong Qiu asked.

"Naturally through the Fourth Highness."

Li Ziye smiled lightly, and said, "This is a great achievement, the merit lies in the community, and the benefits lie in the future. Moreover, the Fourth Highness went to Mobei and saw the oil reservoirs. It is reasonable for him to propose."

"Fourth prince?"

When Kong Qiu heard this, a strange color flashed in his old eyes, and he said, "Are you going to help him ascend the throne? You should be clear that the fourth prince is not a suitable candidate for the emperor."

"I do have the idea."

Li Ziye said seriously, "Among the princes of Dashang, except for the Fourth Highness, I can't believe the others. The Fourth Highness's personality is indeed not suitable for that position, but whether it is suitable or not is none of my business. "

"Your thinking is a bit selfish." Kong Qiu sighed softly.

"Confucian chief, I am not a saint."

Li Ziye said sternly, "The Li family and I have to live first before we can think about other things. Although the fourth prince will not become an emperor through the ages, he will definitely be a benevolent monarch. The winter is coming, and the world is suffering enough. Now, it is not easy to live a good life, there is no need for an emperor who has expanded the territory and expanded the territory, and has a great talent through the ages."

Great Prince's Mansion.

The carriage stopped.

The Fourth Prince and the Ninth Princess got off the carriage and entered the front mansion together.

in the front yard.

The eldest prince Mu Yuan was sitting in a wheelchair and greeted him personally.

Mu Bai and Murong stepped forward and saluted together.

At the end of spring, when the weather was slightly cold, two princes and a princess got together to talk about their brotherhood.
