Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

On that day, the Sun family sent a total of seven house slaves and their deeds of sale. The elder of these people was over 50 years old, and the youngest was only 12 years old. It is said that he was still an apprentice. It was sent to him with reservations.

Liu Shu personally received these people, looked at their hesitant eyes, and laughed: "You are very lucky, the fate of this life has changed, don't be afraid, it's better to be a slave to the prince than someone else's county master , you will know later.

The prince wants to build a printing factory, and you will be elders when you come here. As long as you can make some achievements, you don’t have to worry about your future in this life. In the palace, there is no such thing as domestic slaves. It is also possible to become an official. "

Seeing that they were stunned for a while, Liu Shu smiled more sincerely, "Have you ever heard about the prince's deeds before?"

The youngest boy faltered and said: "I have heard of it, but... but the slaves don't... don't know that there will be such a day."

Liu Shu really likes such timid servants, they are obedient and easy to control, and they will be grateful to the prince if they give them some sweets, and they are also very loyal, so he doesn't need to spend much time beating them.

"In the future, your treatment will be the same as that of the craftsmen in the palace. When you first came, you will be the lowest-ranking employees. You will have two sets of clothes per season in the first year, and one set per season every year thereafter. Additional rewards will be given based on your performance at the end of the year. The money will be determined by the supervisor after you have worked for a full month. That is to say, the stronger your skills, the more monthly money you can get.

The prince can't say how fair and equitable it is to employ people, but there are rules, and no one will be treated badly because of personal feelings. Therefore, as long as you work hard in the future, your life will definitely be a thousand times better than before. Do you have your own house? "

The seven people shook their heads in unison. They were domestic slaves. They used to live in the house of the Sun family. The Sun family treated them well. They gave each of them five taels of silver when they were sent away. Let the seven of them pay to rent a small house together, and spend a few months before talking.

"Then live in the dormitory building. The old palace knows about it. Are you related?"

The youngest boy nestled next to the oldest craftsman. The two were grandparents and masters and apprentices. Liu Shu arranged them in one room, and the other five people divided them into two rooms.

After finding a servant to take them there, Liu Shu warned: "Stay in the house until the lord gives you an order. Don't run around. You have to go to the trade union to inform you. If you can't read, you can find someone to teach you how to read. But you If you want to print a book, you should be able to read and write, right?"

The result was unexpected, there were only two people who could read and write, and the rest were just helpers.

Liu Shu looked at them disappointed, "No wonder you haven't made any achievements for decades, you are too self-motivated, you can't do this in the future, the palace doesn't support idlers."

After beating the seven newcomers, Liu Shu let them go, then went back to report to Li Xu, and suggested, "My lord, let's recruit some experienced craftsmen from other places. It’s unreliable, and I think it will disappoint you.”

Li Xu didn't hold out too much hope, "Let's take a look first. People from other places are afraid that they are unreliable, and they have to check their backgrounds. It is not convenient for their own people to use. While the factory is under construction, this king finds time to talk to them." Let’s chat and look at their ideas, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand now, what matters is that your brain needs to be bright, and creation is sometimes a flash of light.”

Liu Shu thought to himself: In this case, it would be better to arrange for someone to give each of them a bowl of brain-reinforcing soup. Their brains are so blunt, it should be better if they replenish their brains, right?

Kou Xiao came back late at night, covered in mud, as if he rolled out of a mire, Liu Shu ignored him for a moment, let him lean to Li Xu's side, rubbed the mud all over Li Xu, and finally had to take a bath together.

"Why don't you sleep so late? Are you waiting for me?" Kou Xiao asked, biting Li Xu's ear.

Li Xu splashed water on his face, and almost rolled his eyes at him, "Didn't you see that I was busy when you entered the study? Who made me stop halfway through the work?"

Kou Xiao said without guilt: "It's a combination of work and rest. You see, if I'm not at home, you just sit in the study all day. Your little Liu is too irresponsible."

Li Xu replied "hehe", and then asked him to take a bath, wipe himself off, put on his pajamas, and let him do his duty for a while.

However, after making a fuss in the bathroom, his legs were still weak for two days. He may have really sat in the study for a long time recently, lacking exercise, and his physical strength has declined.

Kou Xiao also felt the same, and sighed desperately: "Has the prince gained weight recently? It feels like the flesh on his stomach has softened."

Li Xu kicked the man away, went to the study without saying a word, closed the door, and shut the person who was chasing after him outside.

"Dong dong dong..." Kou Xiao knocked on the door wildly, and regretfully said: "The prince calm down, it's the last general who made a slip of the tongue, you're not fat, not fat at all, it's the last general's rough hands."

Li Xu didn't want to talk to him, so he lifted his clothes and touched his belly. Not to mention, the original six-pack seemed to be four. There are signs of gaining weight.

In his previous life, he paid great attention to exercise. In order not to die from overwork at a young age, he had to go to the gym two or three times a week. When he arrived here, he was injured at first, and he had traveled a long distance without recovering his body. I have spent a lot of time recuperating my body, and I have not stopped exercising all day, so I have been slack during this time.

Recently, South Vietnam has become much more peaceful. Officials are very motivated to distribute a large sum of money at the end of the year, and the work of various departments has been overfulfilled. Only then did Li Xu free up his hands to run a bookstore. When dealing with books, people don’t like to move. The weather hasn't warmed up yet, and Li Xu doesn't like to go out.

Li Xu carefully recalled the appearance and identity of the old emperor, but the emperors in his memory were all earlier. At that time, he was tall and majestic, with a voice like a bell, and he was an extremely heroic man.

However, the emperor Li Xu learned from recent information was not like this. He was addicted to pills and womanizing, with white sideburns, drooping eyes, fat body, and a small belly. He was an old man with no energy.

But the emperor is only 47 this year, and he is still middle-aged. If he is well maintained, he will live another 30 to [-] years without any problem.

The knocking on the door has never stopped, accompanied by Kou Xiao's intermittent fawning, he is really thick-skinned and dares to say anything.

"My lord, if you don't open the door, I'll jump off the stairs. Come out and take one last look at me."

Li Xu laughed angrily, put down the hem of his clothes, and shouted outside: "Come in, the door is unlocked."

Kou Xiao fell in in a funny posture, turned over and rolled to Li Xu's feet, hugged his calf and said, "Oh, I've been exhausted recently, and I feel weak all over, my lord, do you see if I have changed?" Ugly?"

Li Xu bent down and raised his chin, took a closer look at him, and said solemnly: "Has he become ugly? It seems that he has always been this ugly, with too thick eyebrows, too long eyes, too big nose, too thin lips, and a bearded chin. Too much scum, oh, have you been blown too much by the cold wind recently, and your skin has become rough, no wonder you said you have become ugly."

Kou Xiao was stunned, and stared at Li Xu blankly, looking injured, he jumped up from the ground, rushed to the mirror in the study to take a picture, and chattered endlessly at Li Xu's evaluation: " It shouldn't be, everyone praises me for being handsome, my eyebrows are like peaks and my eyes are like torches, and there is no other man in Nanyue who is more handsome than me."

Li Xu propped his chin to look at him. From behind, Kou Xiao's figure is really amazing, with broad shoulders, thin waist and long legs. Because he just came out of the bathroom, he wore a knee-length bathrobe, and his calves were exposed. Barefoot, he has experienced many times how tough this young body is. Even if you don't look at the face, it is still an exciting figure.

Kou Xiao saw the way Li Xu looked at him from the mirror, and was speechless immediately. Li Xu is used to introversion, and he is more relaxed in bed, but usually he rarely takes the initiative to flirt with Kou Xiao , even less nasty words.

But only a few times, every word can touch the depths of Kou Xiao's heart, every look can make people want to move, just like now, he looks at himself like a treasure, inexplicably Give yourself a sense of pride.

His Adam's apple moved, his gaze shifted and he said, "Your Highness, if you look at me like this again, I can't help but want to eat you up." After finishing speaking, he licked his lower lip lustfully.

Li Xu subconsciously thought of a classic advertisement: Look at it again, and I will eat you up if you look at it again!He laughed out loud, Kou Xiao looked puzzled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Li Xu replied with a smile: "I want to drink Wangzai milk." He remembered that when he was young, he liked that sweet milk very much, and he could drink it in a small can. At that time, he had no money, so he was only willing to drink one can at a time. Well, when he is rich and can drink as much as he wants, he will be past the age of liking sweet milk.

General Kou looked at his lover in bewilderment. He knew milk, which was often drunk in the palace, but what was Wangzai milk?Will it prosper milk that can give birth to cubs?Or a cow?

Li Xu's eyes were indescribably gentle, as if he was lost in memory, and also as if he was looking at Kou Xiao nostalgic, "Can I add a big spoonful of sugar to the milk tomorrow morning?"

Kou Xiao doesn't like drinking pure milk very much, he likes sweet milk tea, milk with sugar should be good too, and he really doesn't dare to disobey Li Xu, for fear of being kicked out by him.

"Okay." He thought to himself: Even if it is poisoned, he still has to drink it!

Li Xu sighed faintly, Kou Xiao walked up to him and sat down, hugged him and asked, "Unhappy?"

"I can't talk about it, I just thought of something."

"Is it about me?"

"It doesn't matter, it happened when I was a child."

"How was your lord's life when you were young?" This was probably the first person who dared to ask the prince if his life was good.

What Li Xu answered was his previous life, "It's not very good, but compared with the children here, it's still much happier."

Kou Xiao expressed his understanding, the palace is full of dangers, and Li Xu is the focus of everyone's attention, life will definitely not be too easy.

"I haven't told you about my childhood, have I?"

"Want to say?" Li Xu was very curious, he was shocked by the weak family relationship of the Kou family, and Kou Xiao didn't know how he grew up when he was a child.

"In fact, many people know it. It's just that it's been a long time. Everyone doesn't want to talk about it. The Kou family has been independent since my grandfather's generation. There is only one male. My father and I also have three generations. They gave birth to many concubines for my father, daughters were born one by one, but no sons.

My mother is the princess of the previous generation who was crowned king. She is arrogant. How can she tolerate such a thing, but the Kou family has held military power for generations, and the previous generation was weak. The Kou family is not afraid of him, and only takes concubines. I don't care about it either.

The relationship between my parents faded very early, perhaps never before, I don’t know if it’s because of this, my father doesn’t like me, he is very strict with me, he looks at me more like looking at an insignificant person, my mother That's right, she didn't care about me until my grandfather passed away and the palace disappeared, probably because she knew that she could only rely on me as a son for the rest of her life.

Later, when my father died in battle, I took over the Kou family's army. The young man left home and got a bad reputation. He even killed people at home. The elders didn't like me even more. They only cared about when I got married and why In fact, it is a trivial matter to carry on the Kou family's family from time to time. I don't resent them, it's just that I don't have much affection. "

Li Xu held him in his arms. He could understand what it was like for a child to grow up in an indifferent family. No child would not want to be loved by his father and mother. Just like when he was a child, he would ask where his father was going. I hope that the family will be harmonious and beautiful, that the father will be kind and the son will be filial.

"Am I a little pitiful?" Kou Xiao asked in a low voice, before Li Xu could comfort him, the other party had to push forward and said, "My lord, please comfort me?"

Li Xu asked him: "How do you comfort me?"

"Do happy things together, once is not enough, twice, and the troubles will naturally disappear."

I fucking believed your evil!Li Xu pushed the man away, pointed at the door and said, "It's better to leave, I will sleep in the study tonight."
