Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Before Lu Ci left, he had already asked clearly, and he knew that the official school would only have half a day of class this day.

He thought about shopping around the mats before school was over, buying some favorite gadgets for Little Lucky Star as rewards, and then taking them to have a full meal.

With Di Qing's exaggeratedly large appetite, which even he is willing to beat, it is not bad to be able to eat one-third of the full meal in the school dormitory where each person has a fixed amount of food.

No wonder he had to run up the mountain every three days, catch wild game, dig yams, and find ways to add meals.

Lu Ci didn't let his servants follow him that day, and while thinking wildly, he entered a shop specializing in the Four Treasures of the Study.

After entering the store, he did not let the shopkeeper who recognized his identity and looked surprised to entertain him.After just wandering around a few times, I fell in love with a set of pens and inks that looked exquisite and expensive, and bought a large stack of Fen linen paper.

After Lu Ci asked them to pack their things beautifully, they went directly to the repaired bookstall next door.

The bookstore that used to steal and engrave various books with poor paper and ink to make huge profits has been severely punished and its storefront has been sold out. Now those who run it dare not be dishonest.

The number of customers is obviously less than before, but since there are not many bookstores in the city, many customers still come into the store.

It's not good for Lu Ci to stay in one place for a long time, so as to avoid people gathering "invisible", so he just glanced at it casually.

I found that the best-selling ones were indeed the tutorial books related to scientific examinations.

Due to the rarity of such books, the policy guidance collection compiled by him has always maintained the most popular throne.

Thinking of this, Lu Ci squeezed his bulging money bag thoughtfully.

Thanks to this, he has an endless stream of stable dividends to maintain this light and luxurious life.

After staying in the bookstore for a while, Lu Ci finally carefully selected a few books related to marching and fighting according to Di Qing's age and his preferences.

Children study hard, so they have to have fun.

Lu Ci put the five books into the burden he had memorized in advance, and easily imagined Di Qing's ecstatic expression, and couldn't help but smile.

And let Di Qing live happily for a few more years without any worries.

Lu Ci weighed the weight of the burden and carried it easily.

Anyway, when little lucky star grows a few years older, what he wants to give away is a whole set of teaching materials.

After coming out of the bookstore, Lu Ci saw that it would be a while before the official school ended, so he continued to wander around.

After he had visited all the shops he was interested in on the whole street, his considerable baggage was filled with gifts, and he still felt a little unsatisfied.

I even bought an extra wooden bow with a beef tendon string, but I had to hold it in my hand because it couldn't fit in my bag.

It's just that compared with Mizhou in memory, the bustle of Fenzhou city is still much worse.

How prosperous a place is depends not only on the local people, but also on the number of passing merchants.

Lu Ci didn't go far, and he couldn't resist the temptation of the snack stall.

So the only free hand held a Kong Ming bottle.

Inside is honey sorbet mixed with chopped plums.

In order to increase the population, it is undoubtedly necessary to make a long-term plan. It is not enough to just encourage people to live more, but also to ensure that all benefits can keep up... Even if he is full of salary in three years and wants to move to another place, it may not be possible. Seeing the effect is far away.

Lu Ci frowned: It's better to start elsewhere.

He took a few sips of ice dew thoughtfully.

A refreshing coolness took away some of the heat, Lu Ci squinted his eyes comfortably, and enjoyed a few more sips.

After the heat is over, I continue to think about how to attract investment most effectively.

Before he could figure out why, the hour was approaching.

Lu Ci then walked slowly towards the official school.

Walking halfway, he was politely called out by the shopkeeper of the restaurant he frequented: "Gongzu Lu will come to the restaurant for dinner soon?"

Just as Lu Ci was about to decline, he whispered, "...I specially kept two good ducks."

Lu Ci couldn't help being taken aback: "You still have a lot left, haven't you taken it away together?"

Because when the duck soldiers were requisitioned this time, the budget given by the imperial court was very sufficient, and the purchase price given was also very reasonable, which was a full [-]% higher than the usual selling price by the catty.

Even if there is no forced buying and selling, most farmers can't control it, and they sold all the ducks taking advantage of the high price.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile: "Before the new ducklings grow, the duck dishes cannot be sold, but I know that my grandfather likes ducks, so I specially kept two of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at the waiter, who trotted to the backyard, and soon came out with both hands holding a mighty and majestic big white duck, and showed it to Lu Ci.

The white duck was born extremely strong, it was heavy at first glance, with plump feathers, it was almost a whole ring bigger than ordinary ducks.

At this time, both wings are bound, but they are still alive and majestic.

While "quack quack quack" angrily, it kicked its feet wildly, twisted its body, and stretched its long and flexible neck back and forth, trying to peck at the guy's hand.

The more Lu Ci looked at it, the more familiar it became.

A snow-white strong duck with a tuft of black hair on top of its head is so strong that it can be called the king of ducks...

A few points added up are impressive enough.

Lu Ci hesitated: "...Could it be that General Duck?"

The so-called "duck general" is the nickname given to the bravest ducks who led the duck soldiers to charge the battle by the people of Fenzhou who had watched the duck-locust battle that lasted for several days with relish.

The shopkeeper nodded affirmatively.

After Lu Ci got his answer, when he looked at the struggling big white duck again, he felt a bit of grief and indignation from its fierce struggle, and his mood was a little complicated, and he wanted to laugh.

To replace a duck with a human, this is really "the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks".

No wonder General Duck was so outraged.

Lu Ci smiled and said humorously: "Although I like to eat ducks, they have made great achievements, so they are different. If I can't ask for rewards for them, that's all. It makes me feel really sorry. Well, I will pay twice the price to buy both of these duck generals, so that one of them can die."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said in an embarrassing way: "Grandpa Zhai has a kind heart, so there is no need to double the price, just follow the market price."

Lu Ci smiled, and paid double as agreed.

As for the ducks, they will stay in the store for now, and wait for someone from home to pick them up later.

Of course, for the sake of my sleep quality, I can't stay in the small courtyard... I have to find a suitable next home.

Although male ducks cannot lay eggs, they are majestic. If they can be used as breeding ducks, no one will be willing to take good care of them.

Lu Ci thought lazily, and soon came to an alley not far from the gate of the official school.

He put down the things he had carried all the way, leaned against the brick wall with a smile on his face, let the colorful sunlight from the branches and leaves bask in it, and waited for the people inside to come out.

When the master lectures, the official school is naturally silent, only the birds on the branches are chirping.

Lu Ci didn't wait long, when he suddenly heard laughter coming from inside, mixed with the movement of tables and chairs.

Then you can intuitively experience the joy of the students when they are in class.

Lu Ci originally thought that a wild little raccoon slave like Di Qing would be the fastest one to walk after class, but unexpectedly, he waited for several waves of people, but he didn't see him in the crowd.

If it weren't for the official school, which was the only door available for entry and exit, he would have suspected that Di Qing had left through another door.

Lu Ci couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

It wasn't until the flow of people washed up that they dispersed, and then I saw Di Qing who was slowly coming out with a book bag on his back.

After not seeing him for more than four months, Lu Ci noticed that Di Qing's height had obviously jumped up again, and his limbs became more and more slender.

In addition, in the early summer, Di Qing was still too hot to wear less and thinner clothes, so he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing his solid tendons. .

Although he still has the childishness of a teenager, the profile of his profile is somewhat handsome and handsome.

At this moment, he is pursing his lips tightly and frowning, not knowing whether it is intentional or not, in short, in the eyes of outsiders, it is always a posture that is not easy to get close to.

Lu Ci raised his eyebrows.

——This kind of pride and indifference is definitely a big raccoon slave.

Di Qing didn't know that Lu Ci was waiting around the corner. When he was carrying a heavy bookbag and stepped out of the threshold with a stern face, his mind was still desperately revolving around questions that he had just asked his master for advice but still half understood.

Because of this absent-mindedness, when he was at the corner, he almost bumped into Lu Ci who was standing there motionless.

When he saw Lu Ci's long-lost face that seemed to be shining under the sunlight, Di Qing's eyes widened in a daze.

He stood upright, opened his mouth, his mind was blank, and he couldn't even speak a complete sentence for a long time.

...Is he dreaming again?

Seeing Di Qing's dazed expression, Lu Ci couldn't help teasing him, "Why, it's only been half a year, and you've forgotten me?"

"Gongzu Lu!"

Di Qing finally returned to his soul.

"I still remember."

Lu Ci nodded with a smile, and stuffed the wooden bow he had taken all the way into his hand.

Di Qing took it in a daze.

"For you."

Lu Ci announced directly.

Di Qing felt like getting an electric shock, and wanted to return the wooden bow, but Lu Ci frowned on purpose, and the ending sound was slightly drawn out: "Why, do you still expect me to hold it for you?"

Di Qing obediently withdrew his hand.

Lu Ci nodded in satisfaction.

He originally wanted to let Di Qing take the bag full of gifts by himself, but after trying to lift Di Qing to carry the book bag on his back, he gave up the idea.

After all, the book bag is already heavy enough, plus these, I'm afraid it won't crush people.

Lu Ci felt that his conscience was not lost, and it was rare for him to be a parent who picked up his children from school, so he decided to do a good job to the end, and wanted to take Di Qing's schoolbag along with him.

Unexpectedly, this sudden action drew fierce opposition from Di Qing, who was still in a daze just a moment ago.

Di Qing was almost insane from being frightened. With the posture of risking his life, he successfully surprised Lu Ci and defended the right to carry the book bag.

——Even if he lends him a hundred faces, he can't ask Lu Zhizhou to help him carry his things!

"Okay, okay, I don't want you to grab it."

Lu Ci helplessly spread his hands, which made Di Qing's vigilance slowly relax.

In this regard, he shook his head amusedly, and sighed: "You are such a calf."

After sighing, he went to eat a big meal with his calf temper.
