At the training ground at the foot of the mountain, all the government soldiers are full of fighting spirit.
Being stared at by a hundred people, Huo Yan was not afraid at all.He came to the starting point unhurriedly and signaled Li Shu to start timing.
Li Shu gave an order, and the tall and handsome boy, like the fiercest cheetah on the grassland, leaped across the training ground.
He crossed the ditch, climbed over the high wall, and dived through the pile net, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, pointing to the end.
The 100 people opened their mouths wide in surprise and forgot to breathe.
Too fast, too fast!
Someone couldn't help but say: "Damn, I'm a waste! I can't even compare to a teenager!"
Someone comforted himself: "After all, it's the Huo family, so it's amazing."
After hearing this, Li Shu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, he was already thinking of attacking again.
The vigorous posture of the young man on the training ground gradually aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers.Everyone stared at Huo Yan without blinking until he rushed to the finish line without panting.
Not a speck of lime powder touched his back.
The government soldiers were convinced, really convinced.
Under Huo Yan's stimulation, they fought like chicken blood one by one, and their average level was much higher than the previous test.
After everyone finished the training, Li Shu asked Huo Yan: "I remember that in the first test between the two of us, several craftsmen had good results. How about letting them try today?"
Huo Yan was slightly surprised, then nodded and said: "Yes."
The arrogance of killing the government soldiers is also good.
Li Shu went to invite those people in person, and when they heard the words, they looked at each other and asked, "Did Huo Lang ask us to go?"
"No." Li Shucheng said.
The leader said: "We still have to build a house, so we don't have time."
Li Shu: "Huo Yan also agreed."
The leader's attitude changed immediately: "Let's go then."
They reported to A Yan, and A Yan made a few points in Feng Erbi, knowing that their identities were unusual, so he nodded in agreement.
Li Shu has always admired capable people, so he took the initiative to chat with them on the way: "Several strong men are strong and capable, how can they concede to the job of craftsman?"
"It's just asking for food." The leader replied casually.
"My humble Li Shu, I want to make friends with some brothers. I don't know the names of some strong men?"
The leader glanced at him, "We are all vulgar, don't drag those polite ones. Just call me Wang Dayong."
"Xu Jiang."
"Lu Dabao."
"Ma Qiang."
"Wang Xiaohe."
Li Shu memorized the names one by one, and felt that they were all gentlemen, and the friendship between them became more and more intense.
Walking to the training ground, Wang Dayong and the others were excited when they saw Huo Yan.
During this time, they secretly searched for Huo Yan several times, trying to persuade him to leave Gyeongju Mansion with them.
But Huo Yan said: "I am a slave now. If I leave Qingzhou, the only way is to become a bandit. I can do it, but Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong can't."
They were still young, and Huo Yan couldn't bear to let them live a life of homelessness, what's more, members of the Huo family would not do anything like robbing their homes unless it was absolutely necessary.
Wang Dayong sighed: "Could it be that the second son will let the Huo family bear the stigma, and the general and the eldest son will die with peace of mind?"
"Uncle Wang, if you are really willing to vindicate the Huo family, you might as well stay and help me." Huo Yan looked at them with calm and deep eyes.
Wang Dayong really didn't understand, "Could it be that the second son would rather be a slave for the rest of his life?"
Huo Yan shook his head, "Slavery is only determined by the imperial court."
If one day the imperial court disappears, his slave status will naturally not count.
Smart people know what Guanlouyu has done in Gyeongju.
The imperial court is corrupt, the people are full of complaints, and the signs of troubled times have emerged. As the orthodox royal family, King Qing naturally has the power to contend.
To be honest, Huo Yan admires the current Prince Qing's son and is also very grateful to him.
He is willing to stay in Gyeongju and plan for Lou Yu.
Wang Dayong and others persuaded him several times, but not only failed to persuade Huo Yan, but were almost persuaded by Huo Yan.
They've been shaking for days.
"Brother Dayong!" Li Shu's voice brought back Wang Dayong's thoughts.
He turned to look at Li Shu, "What's wrong?"
"All the brothers are waiting for you," Li Shu patted him on the shoulder, "Run well, let the brothers learn a lot!"
A hundred or so people around were "watching", Wang Dayong had seen a bigger world, not only did not show timidity, but was faintly excited, and came to the starting point after a quick warm-up.
He was big, he looked burly and rough, he seemed very inflexible, and he was just a craftsman, so the government soldiers didn't think highly of him.
However, they were slapped in the face again.
This strong and burly man walked over obstacles one after another quite skillfully, taking steps that were lighter than them. He could even pass through the net of ground piles without rubbing a little lime powder.
The government soldiers: "..."
Why can even a craftsman defeat them so easily? !Are they really such waste!
Next, Xu Jiang and others also passed the obstacle training one by one, and the soldiers were so shocked that they could no longer speak.
Li Shu was extremely satisfied in his heart, and taught aloud: "As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers are bound to lose. I don't know where your self-confidence comes from. Your grades are so poor that you can't bear to see them. Instead of trying to work hard, you question others' failure. What's your face?!"
It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.
A hundred government soldiers bowed their heads in shame, and at the same time, they had infinite fighting spirit in their hearts.
Seeing that the knocking effect was satisfactory, Li Shu gave them a sweet date: "However, there are some of you who are worthy of praise, and those who read their names stand up."
He reported the names of five people, who were the top five in this assessment.
The rest of the people looked at them enviously, it would be great if they were the ones who were praised!
After the praise, Li Shu changed the subject:
"Next, the team will be divided into five groups with 20 people in each group. The five of you will be the group leaders respectively. The daily training will be led and supervised by the group leader. Each ten-day exam will be ranked according to the overall score of each group. The lower-ranked groups must Wash the stinky socks for the first ten days, and replace them after the next ten-day test results.”
The five people who were singled out showed surprise on their faces. Are they the team leader?Can you manage nineteen people?This can be regarded as a petty official!
The rest of the government soldiers became even more envious and jealous, and fighting intent burst out in their eyes.
Seeing this, Li Shu felt secretly refreshed, but said seriously on the face: "Of course, if a team member surpasses the team leader three times in a row, he can replace the team leader."
His Highness said that there is motivation only when there is competition.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, all the government soldiers were gearing up, staring at the five outstanding team leaders one by one.
Wang Dayong and the others beside him couldn't help but express deep meaning in their eyes when they heard the words.
Although this method of training troops is rare, the effect is quite remarkable.
Thinking of Huo Yan's words, they couldn't help sighing secretly: Could it be that the weak Prince Qing's son really has unusual abilities?
The "weak" Prince Qing's son is indeed a bit out of control.
Here's the thing.
Yang Ji'an came to him in a hurry, saying that Huo Xuan was fighting with a group of drug boys in the medical hall, and there was a big fight, Dr. Chen couldn't control it, and he happened to pass by the medical hall, so he simply asked him to come to His Highness.
When Lou Yu heard the words, he immediately got up and went.
Just as he was walking through the courtyard, a gust of evil wind blew up from the ground, and the clothes and sheets hung on the ropes in the courtyard rushed towards his face, directly covering his face.
Feng Erbi exclaimed, and frantically pulled off the sheets and clothes, only to see that Lou Yu's originally neat hairstyle showed a unique messy beauty.
Lou Yu: "..."
He had no choice but to return to the house and said to Yang Ji'an, "Go and find Huo Yan."
Yang Ji'an kept holding back his laughter, and only grinned when he got out of the yard, giggling non-stop.
Lou Yu was a little depressed, and told Feng Erbi: "In the future, change the method of drying clothes."
Feng Erbi said anxiously: "Your Highness, forgive me, and the slave will be removed immediately."
"Where are you going?" Lou Yu didn't want to let his personal clothes be dried in other people's yards.
He thought for a while and said, "Go find a carpenter who is good at carpentry."
"Yes. Your Highness, do you still plan to go to the medical center?"
Lou Yu stroked his combed hair, nodded and stood up: "Go and see."
When the two came to the medical hall, there was a lot of noise inside.
Huo Xuan was restrained, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his eyes were angry.
Huo Qiong was wearing dark gray men's clothes, standing beside Huo Xuan expressionlessly, his cold eyes fell on the group of drug boys.
"What's the trouble?" Feng Erbi said with a cold face, "His Highness kindly asked you to come to the medical hall to study medicine, not to fight. What do you think the medical hall is!"
Seeing Lou Yu, the children immediately restrained their expressions and lowered their heads.
Huo Xuan held his head high, and did not hide his eyes, with an appearance of "I'm not wrong".When Huo Qiong saw Lou Yu, his eyes turned red, as if he had found his backbone.
Chen Chuanbai sighed and bowed his hands, "It's old and incompetent, I didn't manage them well."
Lou Yu looked indifferent: "Tell me what's going on."
"I'm really ashamed," Chen Chuanbai replied, "I went to the backyard to get the medicinal materials for the children to review, and only came out when I heard the noise of fighting. I don't know what happened."
Lou Yu pointed out Huo Xuan's name: "You seem to have a grievance to sue."
"Your Highness," Huo Xuan said half angry and half wronged, "I didn't mean to fight, it was their rudeness first!"
"Who's being rude? You obviously did it first!"
"Your Highness, Huo Xuan hit us first!"
"Your Highness, we studied well, but he broke in suddenly and beat someone!"
Huo Xuan's small face was going to explode with anger.
"Everyone be quiet!" Feng Erbi yelled, his eyes sharp, "Wait until Huo Xuan finishes talking."
After he finished speaking, he moved a chair over, "Your Highness, sit down."
Lou Yu sat down as he said, his eyes fell on Huo Xuan, and he asked warmly, "Why did you hit someone?"
Huo Xuan glared at the group of drug boys, and said in a small mouth: "Return to Your Highness, my sister has been depressed these few days when she came home, she couldn't even eat, and sometimes she secretly hid in the room and cried. eyes!"
The more he talked, the more angry he became, "I asked her and she didn't tell me, so I had no choice but to follow me secretly. I heard outside the door that these villains were all bullying my sister! I was so angry that I beat them. It was their wickedness first, and they provoked me. My sister is sad, of course I want to help her out!"
"Is it a fight at the beginning?"
Huo Yan's solemn voice came from outside the door.
Huo Xuan took a few steps back in an instant, shrinking his neck.
"Huo Xuan, you didn't repent for causing trouble, so go back and punish me with ten lashes."
Huo Yan came up and set a punishment.
This is the Huo family's law. Although Huo Xuan was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to speak out.
The other drug boys were shocked and punished with ten lashes!
very scary!
Huo Qiong tried to intercede: "Uncle, this matter happened because of me, don't blame brother, I will be punished for him."
"You never dissuaded me, so naturally you should be punished..."
"Alright, Huo Yan." Lou Yu lazily opened his eyelids.
Don't ask indiscriminately when you come up, and punish your own children first. This traditional persecution education method is really not flattering.
Huo Yan immediately fell silent.
Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong seemed to have discovered a new continent, they looked at Lou Yu and then Huo Yan in amazement.
On the other hand, Yang Ji'an at the side didn't think there was anything wrong, since His Highness was here anyway, it was right to listen to His Highness.
"The government asks the case, and you have to listen to the arguments of both sides." Lou Yu turned to the group of drug boys, "Did you bully Huo Qiong?"
The drug boys looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Lou Yu's tone was calm and indifferent: "Those who don't tell the truth will be kicked out of the hospital after investigation."
If "campus bullying" really exists, he must educate it well to prevent the existence of bullying.
Lou Yu's face was calm and his eyes were majestic. The children were intimidated, and they dared not refuse to follow in fear.
Then the medicine boy murmured: "Your Highness, we just think that she is a little lady and shouldn't come to the medical center."
Someone took the lead, and the rest followed suit, and they were very confident.
"Yes, Your Highness, she is the only lady in the medical center. We feel very uncomfortable and don't want to study with her."
"She can embroider at home, why come to the clinic?"
"We're doing it for her own good. She's a little lady who hangs out with us. It's a bad name for her."
Hearing these remarks, Huo Qiong pursed his lips slightly and clenched his fists, feeling angry and powerless.
"Fart!" Huo Xuan has a bad temper, "My sister wants to learn to be none of your business! Eat salty radish and don't worry about it, take care of yourself! You just can't learn to be as jealous as my sister!"
Living in the farm for a period of time, Huo Xuan didn't learn anything else, but only learned some rural swear words.
Huo Yan glanced at him coolly, planning to go back and take care of him.
Huo Xuan felt bad after the harsh words, and quickly hid beside Lou Yu, trying to use Lou Yu's majesty to counter his uncle's cold eyes.
"Are you really dissatisfied with Huo Qiong going to school together?" Lou Yu asked the group of drug boys who believed they were right.
He didn't pay much attention to the matter of recruiting students in the medical center after he gave orders. He didn't expect that the only girl in the medical center was Huo Qiong.
Of course, this is not the reason for those male drug boys to bully Huo Qiong.
Yaotong said: "Return to Your Highness, she is a little lady who will go to school with us, we really don't want to!"
Lou Yu: "Since that's the case, let's all be fair."
He asked Dr. Chen: "The children have already studied for a month. Why don't we take a monthly exam and we will judge based on their grades. Can Dr. Chen prepare questions and evaluate them based on their learning progress?"
Chen Chuanbai's face was serious: "What Your Highness said is true, this old man will come up with a test on the spot."
Lou Yu asked people to prepare pens and paper, and all children in the medical center had to participate in the assessment.
They have only studied for a month, and what they have learned is nothing more than the basic knowledge of acupuncture points, meridians, and medicinal materials.
These are all things that need to be memorized. Many drug boys panicked when they suddenly asked questions for the exam.
When the pen and paper were placed on the table, Lou Yu said, "This exam is fair and just. Mr. Chen will set the questions and I will invigilate the exam myself. Since you are not convinced, let's see who does well in the exam. If you even have a small Even the ladies can't pass the exam, so it's you, not her, who are not qualified to study together."
Those drug boys all lowered their heads. Of course they knew that they were not as good as Huo Qiong. After all, Huo Qiong was the student Doctor Chen praised the most.
But things have come to this point, they can't resist, they can only listen to their fate and answer the questions.
But a child tremblingly said: "Your Highness, I, I am not very good at writing."
These are the children of farmers, and it is normal for them not to be able to write.At the beginning of studying medicine, it was mainly to identify acupuncture points and herbs, and the words can be learned slowly.
Now the shortcomings are exposed, and I can't even answer the questions.
Lou Yu asked Huo Qiong: "Can you?"
Huo Qiong nodded, "Yes."
In such a comparison, the heads of the drug boys are lower, reaching directly to the chest.
Although they come from different backgrounds and cannot be compared in this way, since these children attack Huo Qiong with gender, Lou Yu will not be polite.
However, he still upholds fairness and impartiality, and said to Chen Chuanbai: "Then choose a multiple-choice question."
Chen Chuanbai: "What is a multiple-choice question?"
Lou Yu explained it to him, and Chen Chuanbai nodded repeatedly after understanding, "Your Highness is ingenious, and you can come up with this method."
Lou Yu: "..."
Really ashamed!
There are only options one, two, three, and four for multiple-choice questions, and the children can write them.While listening to Chen Chuanbai's report, they wrote down the answers on paper.
After Chen Chuanbai finished the basic questions, Lou Yu said again: "There is another additional question. You don't need a pen to answer this question. Whoever can stand up and dictate the most complete will get extra points."
Everyone: "..."
Ruthless or His Royal Highness is ruthless!
You can't write, but you can always speak, right?
Chen Chuanbai thought about it for a while, and suddenly he had a "bad idea" and deliberately asked a question beyond the outline.
The examination room was completely silent.
Chen Chuanbai thought no one could answer, but unexpectedly the little girl in the corner stood up.
She opened a pair of clear eyes, and said the answer fluently.
Chen Chuanbai was surprised: "I haven't taught this question in class, how did you know?"
The rest of the children stared at her in amazement.
Being watched by so many people, Huo Qiong smiled shyly, "I borrowed a medical book from Mr. Chen Xiaolang before, and I read it all."
Who is Mr. Chen Xiaolang?
"I did lend her a book."
A gentle young voice came from the inner courtyard, and everyone turned their heads to look.
It turned out to be Mr. Chen Xiaolang, the grandson of Chen Chuanbai!
After Mr. Chen Xiaolang came to the farm with his grandfather, he often lived in seclusion and rarely saw people, so everyone was not familiar with him.
When he saw Lou Yu, he saluted.
Lou Yu asked him to stand up with a smile, and said to Chen Chuanbai, "Old Chen, let's announce the result."
No matter whether he borrowed books or not, no one could question Huo Qiong's answer to such a difficult question in front of everyone.
The drug boys were all downcast.
Lost, they lost completely!
Among all the people, only Huo Qiong got full marks, and No.2 only answered half of the questions correctly.
Lou Yu didn't intend to continue to hit the self-esteem of the drug boys, and only said to Chen Chuanbai: "In the future, there will be an exam every month, and the top three will get rewards. But this time, I will only reward Huo Qiong, and you all know the reason."
No one dared to object.
Lou Yu thought of the rewards given out in school before, and said, "The reward for the first prize is a piece of paper and a Zihao pen."
Drug boys regret it!Simply envious and jealous!
Huo Xuan's face was blue and purple, and he looked at Lou Yu with eyes full of admiration.
He likes His Highness's clear rewards and punishments!
But in the next breath, his respected Highness said terrible words to him: "Huo Xuan disrupted the medical hall, fought bravely, and thought that he was still young, he was punished to practice a hundred sheets of calligraphy and recite twenty poems."
Huo Xuan: "..."
The child visibly weakened, he hated writing and reciting poems the most, it was more tormenting than whipping!
Lou Yu glanced at Huo Yan, meaning that the caning would be spared.
The corners of Huo Yan's lips raised slightly, and they were straightened again in an instant.
"However," Lou Yu praised Huo Xuan again with a smile, "You love your sister, you are responsible, and you are affectionate, which is worthy of praise."
Both Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong smiled.
Lou Yu pinched Huo Xuan's head, "It's a good thing to protect my sister from being bullied, but you must pay attention to the method of doing things, and don't be impulsive and make mistakes."
Huo Xuan nodded again and again, not to mention how well-behaved he was: "Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness, I will remember it!"
Lou Yu turned to Yaotong: "As for you, you have spoken badly, participated in the fight, and punished each of you with a [-]-character letter of repentance, which will be handed in tomorrow!"
All the drug boys: "..."
They are so miserable!
After the matter was settled, Lou Yu went back to the hospital, seeing Huo Yan following up, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"
Huo Yan's eyes were solemn: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Lou Yu had already regarded him as one of his own, and reminded: "However, disciplining children should not just be beaten and scolded. The filial sons born under the stick are only aimed at those who are crooked. Huo Xuan is just a little impulsive, and his heart is quite good. "
Huo Yan has sword eyebrows and star eyes, his face becomes more handsome after he grows, and his whole body has a cold temperament, just like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath, waiting to be born on the day of birth, shocking the world.
At this time, he was smiling, with a gentle expression, not as sharp and fierce as before, but more free and easy, and he was getting farther and farther away from the stern and cruel male protagonist in the original book.
"I understand."
Lou Yu secretly praised Huo Yan for being handsome, said goodbye to him and returned to the courtyard.
Feng Erbi poured tea for him, and asked, "Is the servant going to find the carpenter?"
"Go."
As soon as the words fell, someone outside the courtyard probed their brains.
Feng Erbi grabbed the child and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"
Yang Ji'an chuckled, "I have something to ask Your Highness."
"Okay, come in."
Feng Erbi let him into the house, and ordered someone to go to the river to call for a carpenter with good craftsmanship.
Yang Ji'an is a big kid, and when he sees Lou Yu, he is flattering: "Your Highness only distinguishes rewards and punishments, it's really satisfying!"
"Get down to business." Lou Yu was too lazy to listen to his flattery.
"Your Highness, I heard that there is a training ground at the foot of the mountain in the north. Huo Yan and Commander Li go to train every day. Can I go too?"
He has been holding this matter in his stomach for many days, and has been scratching his heart, and today he finally took the opportunity to speak out.
Lou Yu looked at his slender arms and legs, and refused: "You are still young, now is not the time."
Yang Ji'an became anxious when he heard the words, and almost rolled up his sleeves to show him his muscles.
"Your Highness, I'm not young anymore, I can already fight against Commander Li a few times!"
Seeing his insistence, Lou Yu didn't just suppress him, and said: "Okay, you go and try."
When the time comes, you will be exhausted by the training, so don't cry to him.
Yang Ji'an saluted happily and left the courtyard with a bounce.
Lou Yu shook his head and sighed, chatting with Feng Erbi: "Although Ji'an and Huo Xuan look equally lively, they are actually very different."
"He's only so lively in front of you, the rest of the time he's like a grown-up." Feng Erbi laughed.
"Huo Xuan was really impulsive. If he had reasoned with those children after class, he wouldn't have made such a fuss."
Lou Yu said with emotion: "I hope Huo Yan can listen to my words, and don't punish him with a whip."
Corporal punishment or something, spanking is fine, but whipping is really scary.
Feng Erbi couldn't help laughing, "Your Highness, with the steps you handed over, Huo Yan will not punish you severely."
Lou Yu was stunned for a moment, "The steps I handed over?"
"I think that Huo Yan didn't really want to punish Huo Xiaolang with ten lashes. It should be to appease the anger of the public. It's just that you are kind-hearted and spared the punishment. If you meet a cruel master, ten lashes might not be enough."
Huo Yan seemed to be cruel to Huo Xuan at that time, but in fact he wanted to calm things down.
It's not that he didn't know there was an inside story, but he subconsciously chose to take this step back to save Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong.
Standing in his position, Lou Yu figured it out all of a sudden, but after he figured it out, his face turned black: "He doesn't believe me?!"
Feng Erbi was secretly annoyed at his quick talk, and quickly comforted him: "It's because His Majesty's majesty is getting worse, so he must not dare to belittle."
"Your Highness has forgotten that the Huo family is now a slave, and the status of a slave is already low. Miss Huo is both a woman and a slave. Anyway, the children of the farmer are indeed contemptuous."
Because of slavery, the Huo family's status is quite embarrassing, and things have become difficult.
Lou Yu suddenly realized, no wonder Huo Yan thanked him solemnly just now.
He was willing to remove their slave status, but the Huo family's identities are sensitive, how he treats them in private is one thing, but once he removes the official slave status, it is disobeying the emperor.
"You're right."
Lou Yu was filled with emotions.
Before transmigrating into the book, he was just a reader who assumed the role of the protagonist. He could not be said to be a fan of the hero, but at least he had a sense of intimacy.
After passing through the book, for the sake of his own life, he devoted himself to changing the fate of the male lead and himself, and wanted to take the male lead under his command, but that was all.
But now, he feels more and more that the hero is not just a thin paper man, nor is he just a heroic tool man.
He can be full of resentment when he is desperate, or he can be as delicate and free as before.
He is very complicated, with hatred and suppression of enemies, tenacity and unyielding in the face of adversity, and painstaking and awkward treatment of relatives.
He is so alive.
Such a person deserves to be treated kindly.
He sighed secretly, restrained his thoughts, and ordered Feng Erbi to spread paper and ink.
After a while, a figure similar to a modern clothes hanger appeared on the paper, and Lou Yu also made some changes according to the characteristics of today's clothes.
Feng Erbi was surprised: "What is this?"
Lou Yu made a fool of himself: "You will know when the carpenter finishes making it."
After he finished speaking, he drew another clothes hanger.
After a while, the carpenter arrived and bowed down to salute.
Lou Yu handed him the blueprint and stated his request.The carpenter didn't know what it was, and he didn't dare to ask, so he retreated tremblingly holding the blueprint.
The carpenter had never made these two utensils, but because of the clear drawings and simple workmanship without any technical difficulty, he quickly finished them and sent the finished products to the main courtyard.
Lou Yu tried it, and there was nothing dissatisfied, so he rewarded the carpenter.
The carpenter left happily.
Under Feng Erbi's curious eyes, Lou Yu took down the flowing clothes hanging on the rope in the yard, and stretched them out with a hanger, so that the clothes would hang down naturally, and hang them on the clothes hanger that was taller than a person.
He did the same, saving a lot of space in the courtyard.
Without the cover of loose clothes, the field of vision in the courtyard becomes wider.
Feng Erbi was amazed again and again, and a wave of flattery came rushing forward.
Lou Yu was a little embarrassed, he was just picking up people's teeth.
He asked the carpenter to build a wardrobe as tall as a person. The upper part of the cabinet is used to hang clothes, and the lower part of the drawers is used to store some personal clothing.
In this way, the clothes do not need to be folded, and after drying, they are directly hung on the hangers in the closet, which is much more convenient and trouble-free.
This usage somehow spread.
The farmers all thought it was easy to use, and those who had spare money would go to a carpenter to order it, and those who had no spare money would make some simple ones by themselves.
Even Chen Chuanbai, an old antique, bluntly said that His Highness has ingenuity.
Time passed quickly, and the paper mills by the river were all completed.
The paper mill occupies a large area. There are not only dozens of houses, but also several water mills standing by the river, connected to the paper mill.
The water pestle is a tool for pounding rice or crushing hard objects by using the principles of hydraulic power and levers. With the water pestle, manpower can be greatly saved.
Lou Yu had already prepared paper-making materials such as bamboo, jute, reed, poplar, etc., and just waited for the paper-making workshop to summon workers to officially start work.
Papermaking is a technical job, not everyone can do it.
Lou Yu used to read novels and was interested in handmade paper, so he deliberately learned it, but only once or twice, so he was not proficient.
He had to figure out the steps by himself first, and by the way, use this time to recruit some young and strong laborers who are homeless and willing to sell themselves.
He built a paper mill, not just to make paper.
Raw materials such as bamboo and wood are needed to make paper, and weapons such as bows and crossbows are also needed!
He wanted to use the name of the paper mill to make bows and arrows privately.
In the Dasheng Dynasty, privately manufacturing weapons was a felony of beheading, not to mention bows and crossbows, not even a shield.
Lou Yu dared to take such a big risk because the Dasheng court was in turmoil and had no time to take care of Gu Qingzhou.
As far as he knows, Dasheng's papermaking skills are not as good as those of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Chengxintang paper in the Sui and Tang dynasties was especially famous, and it could also produce paper of different colors.
Dasheng's paper is not smooth, smooth, and beautiful enough, and the papermaking skills he has learned must be far superior to Dasheng's.
Maybe selling paper can also sell a lot of money.
However, in ancient times papermaking was a physical labor. Although Lou Yu had gained some muscles through exercise, he could not make paper at all by himself.
One hundred government soldiers came in handy.
It happened that they also thought the training was boring, so Lou Yu simply let them experience the hardships of the working people.
It is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive task to squeeze raw materials into pulp.
Lou Yu spent a lot of time and effort on the basis of Dasheng's papermaking technique, adding auxiliary materials such as wax paste, corkberry, glue, alum, etc., and experimented dozens of times, and finally produced a smoother and smoother paper.
Its paper color is pure white, as smooth as jade, and the pen and ink are easy to dry without fading, which can be described as the best.
Moreover, Phellodendron has the effect of killing insect eggs. After adding Phellodendron, it can prevent paper from being corroded.
There are many knowledgeable people around him, Huo Yan was born in a noble family, Yang Guanghuai is well-informed, and Chen Chuanbai is an old man, all of them can see that this paper is extraordinary.
Now that paper has been produced beyond Dasheng, techniques such as dyeing, printing, and gold sprinkling have been put on hold.
Only by doing the same thing can we better grasp the market.
After finishing this stage, Lou Yu took a vacation for himself, moved a deck chair, and leaned against the yard to bask in the sun.
With the gentle spring breeze and the warm sunshine, Lou Yu was lying on the armchair drowsy.
"Your Highness, Huo Xiaolang and Miss Huo are here." Feng Erbi reported softly.
Lou Yu opened his eyes and sat up.
"Let them in."
He was too busy these days, and he didn't have time to see these little guys.
Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong entered the courtyard side by side, and when they looked up at Lou Yu, they couldn't help being stunned.
At this time, the sun was shining, and the golden light was shining on Lou Yu. He was dressed in a cloud-white robe, and his posture was leisurely and unrestrained.
Lou Yu was amused by the goose-like demeanor of the two of them, he bent his eyes and asked, "What are you doing in a daze?"
Huo Xuan had a straightforward temper, and said, "Your Highness is so beautiful, I accidentally stared blankly."
Feng Erbi grinned, he liked hearing others praise His Highness.
Huo Qiong was more reserved, and said cautiously: "The last time I was in the medical center, Your Highness rescued me. I don't have anything valuable to give to Your Highness, so I learned from Master to make a sachet. Inside are some warm herbs, which can calm the mind and calm the mind." The effect of Qi."
Although she said so, the sachet was not taken out.
Lou Yu couldn't help asking, "Where's the sachet?"
The little girl lowered her head in shame, "I'll go back and make a new one."
She suddenly felt that the sachet she made was not worthy of His Royal Highness!
Lou Yu said, "No need, just use this."
Doing another one will inevitably delay the little girl's spare time.
Huo Qiong had no choice but to hold out the sachet.
The sachet is round, with a flying miniature crane embroidered on the surface of the azure bag, the artistic conception is elegant and detached, but the fabric is rough and the stitching is not perfect, so it is indeed a bit unhandy.
Lou Yu took it without hesitation, his eyes revealed admiration: "You embroidered this yourself?"
Huo Qiong nodded, "The technique is so poor that His Highness laughed at it."
"It's very well embroidered!" Lou Yu praised sincerely.
A girl about ten years old can embroider like this, which is already very good.
Moreover, holding the sachet in the palm of the hand, there is a light fragrance, and the mind is peaceful when smelling it, it is indeed hard work.
He directly hung the sachet on the girdle, and said seriously: "I like the sachet very much, thank you."
The azure bag noodles and the cloud white robe complement each other, which is really good.
Huo Qiong was happy and moved.
Your Highness is so kind!
Huo Xuan saw that his younger sister was being praised, and not to be outdone, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I also have a gift for you!"
"Oh? What is it?"
Huo Xuan pretended to be mysterious: "The gift is placed outside, I will go and bring it in."
After saying that, before Lou Yu could speak, he dragged Huo Qiong out of the courtyard.
After a while, five strong men stepped into the courtyard.
Lou Yu raised his eyebrows immediately, and suddenly understood in his heart.
I'm afraid this is not a gift from Huo Xuan, but a gift from Huo Yan!
He straightened his sitting posture subconsciously, and said straight to the point: "Did Huo Yan ask you to come?"
Wang Dayong and the others looked at each other for a few moments, kneeling on the ground together, and said in unison: "Wang Dayong (Xu Jiang, Lu Dabao, Ma Qiang, Wang Xiaohe) is willing to serve His Highness!"
Lou Yu's face was calm: "Everyone, please stand up."
The five stood up, and Wang Dayong stated: "If your Highness has something to do, just ask me to wait."
Lou Yu asked very straightforwardly: "Are you making this gesture because of Huo Yan's order, or are you willing to serve me? If it's the former, please go back."
"Your Highness is serious," Wang Dayong said with a bow, "I came from Yangwu Mountain to look for the second young master, and I really planned to rescue the second young master. But these days, I have seen it clearly, instead of taking the second young master back to become a bandit , it is better to serve His Highness here, I implore His Highness to take it in!"
Lou Yu didn't believe it all, but since they had already stated their position in this way, it was hard for him to convince Huo Yan.
Now is the time for employing people, and it is time for the bandits in Yangwu Mountain to realize their value.
He asked, "How many people are there in the old department of the Huo family?"
"Including me and others, a total of 260 and seven people."
Lou Yu nodded secretly, more than 200 people are enough.
"Can you guarantee that more than 200 people will all agree to come to Gyeongju Prefecture to work for me?"
Wang Dayong nodded, "I have sent a letter back, and they are all willing to come to Qingzhou Prefecture."
Lou Yu thought to himself, I'm afraid it's because of Huo Yan, Prince Qing's son doesn't have such a big face.
He smiled, "Let's wait until everyone is here. You are all brave and skilled fighters. With you joining, Prince Qing's Mansion will be even more powerful. If you have free time, you can participate in training together and teach those soldiers."
Wang Dayong and the other five retreated in response.
Lou Yu lay back on the chair again, his eyebrows slightly closed in thought.
"Your Highness, do you really want to use them?" Feng Erbi asked tentatively.
Lou Yu raised his eyes lazily, "What do you want to say?"
Feng Erbi said: "These former members of the Huo family are loyal to the Huo family, and now they are willing to stay here because Huo Yan is here. If things go on like this, I'm afraid..."
"Worried about them having two hearts?" Lou Yu asked with a smile.
Feng Erbi nodded. From ancient times to the present, whoever holds the military power is the boss.
Now His Royal Highness clearly uses Huo Yan, Huo Yan's prestige in the army is getting worse, and with the old troops in Yangwu Mountain, it is impossible for Feng Erbi not to worry.
He lowered his voice and said: "The Huo family is a criminal slave of the imperial court. Your Highness, you are of the royal blood. Maybe Huo Yan will not avenge your kindness, but there is no guarantee that those bandits will not sway you."
Lou Yu didn't know that Feng Erbi still had such agility, so he joked with a smile: "Didn't you say good things for Huo Yan before? Why, did you fall out with him?"
"One yard is one yard." Feng Erbi quickly explained, "Slave discusses the matter."
Lou Yu got up, "You're right, but I'm short of people for the time being, so it doesn't matter if I use them."
Being stared at by a hundred people, Huo Yan was not afraid at all.He came to the starting point unhurriedly and signaled Li Shu to start timing.
Li Shu gave an order, and the tall and handsome boy, like the fiercest cheetah on the grassland, leaped across the training ground.
He crossed the ditch, climbed over the high wall, and dived through the pile net, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, pointing to the end.
The 100 people opened their mouths wide in surprise and forgot to breathe.
Too fast, too fast!
Someone couldn't help but say: "Damn, I'm a waste! I can't even compare to a teenager!"
Someone comforted himself: "After all, it's the Huo family, so it's amazing."
After hearing this, Li Shu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, he was already thinking of attacking again.
The vigorous posture of the young man on the training ground gradually aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers.Everyone stared at Huo Yan without blinking until he rushed to the finish line without panting.
Not a speck of lime powder touched his back.
The government soldiers were convinced, really convinced.
Under Huo Yan's stimulation, they fought like chicken blood one by one, and their average level was much higher than the previous test.
After everyone finished the training, Li Shu asked Huo Yan: "I remember that in the first test between the two of us, several craftsmen had good results. How about letting them try today?"
Huo Yan was slightly surprised, then nodded and said: "Yes."
The arrogance of killing the government soldiers is also good.
Li Shu went to invite those people in person, and when they heard the words, they looked at each other and asked, "Did Huo Lang ask us to go?"
"No." Li Shucheng said.
The leader said: "We still have to build a house, so we don't have time."
Li Shu: "Huo Yan also agreed."
The leader's attitude changed immediately: "Let's go then."
They reported to A Yan, and A Yan made a few points in Feng Erbi, knowing that their identities were unusual, so he nodded in agreement.
Li Shu has always admired capable people, so he took the initiative to chat with them on the way: "Several strong men are strong and capable, how can they concede to the job of craftsman?"
"It's just asking for food." The leader replied casually.
"My humble Li Shu, I want to make friends with some brothers. I don't know the names of some strong men?"
The leader glanced at him, "We are all vulgar, don't drag those polite ones. Just call me Wang Dayong."
"Xu Jiang."
"Lu Dabao."
"Ma Qiang."
"Wang Xiaohe."
Li Shu memorized the names one by one, and felt that they were all gentlemen, and the friendship between them became more and more intense.
Walking to the training ground, Wang Dayong and the others were excited when they saw Huo Yan.
During this time, they secretly searched for Huo Yan several times, trying to persuade him to leave Gyeongju Mansion with them.
But Huo Yan said: "I am a slave now. If I leave Qingzhou, the only way is to become a bandit. I can do it, but Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong can't."
They were still young, and Huo Yan couldn't bear to let them live a life of homelessness, what's more, members of the Huo family would not do anything like robbing their homes unless it was absolutely necessary.
Wang Dayong sighed: "Could it be that the second son will let the Huo family bear the stigma, and the general and the eldest son will die with peace of mind?"
"Uncle Wang, if you are really willing to vindicate the Huo family, you might as well stay and help me." Huo Yan looked at them with calm and deep eyes.
Wang Dayong really didn't understand, "Could it be that the second son would rather be a slave for the rest of his life?"
Huo Yan shook his head, "Slavery is only determined by the imperial court."
If one day the imperial court disappears, his slave status will naturally not count.
Smart people know what Guanlouyu has done in Gyeongju.
The imperial court is corrupt, the people are full of complaints, and the signs of troubled times have emerged. As the orthodox royal family, King Qing naturally has the power to contend.
To be honest, Huo Yan admires the current Prince Qing's son and is also very grateful to him.
He is willing to stay in Gyeongju and plan for Lou Yu.
Wang Dayong and others persuaded him several times, but not only failed to persuade Huo Yan, but were almost persuaded by Huo Yan.
They've been shaking for days.
"Brother Dayong!" Li Shu's voice brought back Wang Dayong's thoughts.
He turned to look at Li Shu, "What's wrong?"
"All the brothers are waiting for you," Li Shu patted him on the shoulder, "Run well, let the brothers learn a lot!"
A hundred or so people around were "watching", Wang Dayong had seen a bigger world, not only did not show timidity, but was faintly excited, and came to the starting point after a quick warm-up.
He was big, he looked burly and rough, he seemed very inflexible, and he was just a craftsman, so the government soldiers didn't think highly of him.
However, they were slapped in the face again.
This strong and burly man walked over obstacles one after another quite skillfully, taking steps that were lighter than them. He could even pass through the net of ground piles without rubbing a little lime powder.
The government soldiers: "..."
Why can even a craftsman defeat them so easily? !Are they really such waste!
Next, Xu Jiang and others also passed the obstacle training one by one, and the soldiers were so shocked that they could no longer speak.
Li Shu was extremely satisfied in his heart, and taught aloud: "As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers are bound to lose. I don't know where your self-confidence comes from. Your grades are so poor that you can't bear to see them. Instead of trying to work hard, you question others' failure. What's your face?!"
It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.
A hundred government soldiers bowed their heads in shame, and at the same time, they had infinite fighting spirit in their hearts.
Seeing that the knocking effect was satisfactory, Li Shu gave them a sweet date: "However, there are some of you who are worthy of praise, and those who read their names stand up."
He reported the names of five people, who were the top five in this assessment.
The rest of the people looked at them enviously, it would be great if they were the ones who were praised!
After the praise, Li Shu changed the subject:
"Next, the team will be divided into five groups with 20 people in each group. The five of you will be the group leaders respectively. The daily training will be led and supervised by the group leader. Each ten-day exam will be ranked according to the overall score of each group. The lower-ranked groups must Wash the stinky socks for the first ten days, and replace them after the next ten-day test results.”
The five people who were singled out showed surprise on their faces. Are they the team leader?Can you manage nineteen people?This can be regarded as a petty official!
The rest of the government soldiers became even more envious and jealous, and fighting intent burst out in their eyes.
Seeing this, Li Shu felt secretly refreshed, but said seriously on the face: "Of course, if a team member surpasses the team leader three times in a row, he can replace the team leader."
His Highness said that there is motivation only when there is competition.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, all the government soldiers were gearing up, staring at the five outstanding team leaders one by one.
Wang Dayong and the others beside him couldn't help but express deep meaning in their eyes when they heard the words.
Although this method of training troops is rare, the effect is quite remarkable.
Thinking of Huo Yan's words, they couldn't help sighing secretly: Could it be that the weak Prince Qing's son really has unusual abilities?
The "weak" Prince Qing's son is indeed a bit out of control.
Here's the thing.
Yang Ji'an came to him in a hurry, saying that Huo Xuan was fighting with a group of drug boys in the medical hall, and there was a big fight, Dr. Chen couldn't control it, and he happened to pass by the medical hall, so he simply asked him to come to His Highness.
When Lou Yu heard the words, he immediately got up and went.
Just as he was walking through the courtyard, a gust of evil wind blew up from the ground, and the clothes and sheets hung on the ropes in the courtyard rushed towards his face, directly covering his face.
Feng Erbi exclaimed, and frantically pulled off the sheets and clothes, only to see that Lou Yu's originally neat hairstyle showed a unique messy beauty.
Lou Yu: "..."
He had no choice but to return to the house and said to Yang Ji'an, "Go and find Huo Yan."
Yang Ji'an kept holding back his laughter, and only grinned when he got out of the yard, giggling non-stop.
Lou Yu was a little depressed, and told Feng Erbi: "In the future, change the method of drying clothes."
Feng Erbi said anxiously: "Your Highness, forgive me, and the slave will be removed immediately."
"Where are you going?" Lou Yu didn't want to let his personal clothes be dried in other people's yards.
He thought for a while and said, "Go find a carpenter who is good at carpentry."
"Yes. Your Highness, do you still plan to go to the medical center?"
Lou Yu stroked his combed hair, nodded and stood up: "Go and see."
When the two came to the medical hall, there was a lot of noise inside.
Huo Xuan was restrained, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his eyes were angry.
Huo Qiong was wearing dark gray men's clothes, standing beside Huo Xuan expressionlessly, his cold eyes fell on the group of drug boys.
"What's the trouble?" Feng Erbi said with a cold face, "His Highness kindly asked you to come to the medical hall to study medicine, not to fight. What do you think the medical hall is!"
Seeing Lou Yu, the children immediately restrained their expressions and lowered their heads.
Huo Xuan held his head high, and did not hide his eyes, with an appearance of "I'm not wrong".When Huo Qiong saw Lou Yu, his eyes turned red, as if he had found his backbone.
Chen Chuanbai sighed and bowed his hands, "It's old and incompetent, I didn't manage them well."
Lou Yu looked indifferent: "Tell me what's going on."
"I'm really ashamed," Chen Chuanbai replied, "I went to the backyard to get the medicinal materials for the children to review, and only came out when I heard the noise of fighting. I don't know what happened."
Lou Yu pointed out Huo Xuan's name: "You seem to have a grievance to sue."
"Your Highness," Huo Xuan said half angry and half wronged, "I didn't mean to fight, it was their rudeness first!"
"Who's being rude? You obviously did it first!"
"Your Highness, Huo Xuan hit us first!"
"Your Highness, we studied well, but he broke in suddenly and beat someone!"
Huo Xuan's small face was going to explode with anger.
"Everyone be quiet!" Feng Erbi yelled, his eyes sharp, "Wait until Huo Xuan finishes talking."
After he finished speaking, he moved a chair over, "Your Highness, sit down."
Lou Yu sat down as he said, his eyes fell on Huo Xuan, and he asked warmly, "Why did you hit someone?"
Huo Xuan glared at the group of drug boys, and said in a small mouth: "Return to Your Highness, my sister has been depressed these few days when she came home, she couldn't even eat, and sometimes she secretly hid in the room and cried. eyes!"
The more he talked, the more angry he became, "I asked her and she didn't tell me, so I had no choice but to follow me secretly. I heard outside the door that these villains were all bullying my sister! I was so angry that I beat them. It was their wickedness first, and they provoked me. My sister is sad, of course I want to help her out!"
"Is it a fight at the beginning?"
Huo Yan's solemn voice came from outside the door.
Huo Xuan took a few steps back in an instant, shrinking his neck.
"Huo Xuan, you didn't repent for causing trouble, so go back and punish me with ten lashes."
Huo Yan came up and set a punishment.
This is the Huo family's law. Although Huo Xuan was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to speak out.
The other drug boys were shocked and punished with ten lashes!
very scary!
Huo Qiong tried to intercede: "Uncle, this matter happened because of me, don't blame brother, I will be punished for him."
"You never dissuaded me, so naturally you should be punished..."
"Alright, Huo Yan." Lou Yu lazily opened his eyelids.
Don't ask indiscriminately when you come up, and punish your own children first. This traditional persecution education method is really not flattering.
Huo Yan immediately fell silent.
Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong seemed to have discovered a new continent, they looked at Lou Yu and then Huo Yan in amazement.
On the other hand, Yang Ji'an at the side didn't think there was anything wrong, since His Highness was here anyway, it was right to listen to His Highness.
"The government asks the case, and you have to listen to the arguments of both sides." Lou Yu turned to the group of drug boys, "Did you bully Huo Qiong?"
The drug boys looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Lou Yu's tone was calm and indifferent: "Those who don't tell the truth will be kicked out of the hospital after investigation."
If "campus bullying" really exists, he must educate it well to prevent the existence of bullying.
Lou Yu's face was calm and his eyes were majestic. The children were intimidated, and they dared not refuse to follow in fear.
Then the medicine boy murmured: "Your Highness, we just think that she is a little lady and shouldn't come to the medical center."
Someone took the lead, and the rest followed suit, and they were very confident.
"Yes, Your Highness, she is the only lady in the medical center. We feel very uncomfortable and don't want to study with her."
"She can embroider at home, why come to the clinic?"
"We're doing it for her own good. She's a little lady who hangs out with us. It's a bad name for her."
Hearing these remarks, Huo Qiong pursed his lips slightly and clenched his fists, feeling angry and powerless.
"Fart!" Huo Xuan has a bad temper, "My sister wants to learn to be none of your business! Eat salty radish and don't worry about it, take care of yourself! You just can't learn to be as jealous as my sister!"
Living in the farm for a period of time, Huo Xuan didn't learn anything else, but only learned some rural swear words.
Huo Yan glanced at him coolly, planning to go back and take care of him.
Huo Xuan felt bad after the harsh words, and quickly hid beside Lou Yu, trying to use Lou Yu's majesty to counter his uncle's cold eyes.
"Are you really dissatisfied with Huo Qiong going to school together?" Lou Yu asked the group of drug boys who believed they were right.
He didn't pay much attention to the matter of recruiting students in the medical center after he gave orders. He didn't expect that the only girl in the medical center was Huo Qiong.
Of course, this is not the reason for those male drug boys to bully Huo Qiong.
Yaotong said: "Return to Your Highness, she is a little lady who will go to school with us, we really don't want to!"
Lou Yu: "Since that's the case, let's all be fair."
He asked Dr. Chen: "The children have already studied for a month. Why don't we take a monthly exam and we will judge based on their grades. Can Dr. Chen prepare questions and evaluate them based on their learning progress?"
Chen Chuanbai's face was serious: "What Your Highness said is true, this old man will come up with a test on the spot."
Lou Yu asked people to prepare pens and paper, and all children in the medical center had to participate in the assessment.
They have only studied for a month, and what they have learned is nothing more than the basic knowledge of acupuncture points, meridians, and medicinal materials.
These are all things that need to be memorized. Many drug boys panicked when they suddenly asked questions for the exam.
When the pen and paper were placed on the table, Lou Yu said, "This exam is fair and just. Mr. Chen will set the questions and I will invigilate the exam myself. Since you are not convinced, let's see who does well in the exam. If you even have a small Even the ladies can't pass the exam, so it's you, not her, who are not qualified to study together."
Those drug boys all lowered their heads. Of course they knew that they were not as good as Huo Qiong. After all, Huo Qiong was the student Doctor Chen praised the most.
But things have come to this point, they can't resist, they can only listen to their fate and answer the questions.
But a child tremblingly said: "Your Highness, I, I am not very good at writing."
These are the children of farmers, and it is normal for them not to be able to write.At the beginning of studying medicine, it was mainly to identify acupuncture points and herbs, and the words can be learned slowly.
Now the shortcomings are exposed, and I can't even answer the questions.
Lou Yu asked Huo Qiong: "Can you?"
Huo Qiong nodded, "Yes."
In such a comparison, the heads of the drug boys are lower, reaching directly to the chest.
Although they come from different backgrounds and cannot be compared in this way, since these children attack Huo Qiong with gender, Lou Yu will not be polite.
However, he still upholds fairness and impartiality, and said to Chen Chuanbai: "Then choose a multiple-choice question."
Chen Chuanbai: "What is a multiple-choice question?"
Lou Yu explained it to him, and Chen Chuanbai nodded repeatedly after understanding, "Your Highness is ingenious, and you can come up with this method."
Lou Yu: "..."
Really ashamed!
There are only options one, two, three, and four for multiple-choice questions, and the children can write them.While listening to Chen Chuanbai's report, they wrote down the answers on paper.
After Chen Chuanbai finished the basic questions, Lou Yu said again: "There is another additional question. You don't need a pen to answer this question. Whoever can stand up and dictate the most complete will get extra points."
Everyone: "..."
Ruthless or His Royal Highness is ruthless!
You can't write, but you can always speak, right?
Chen Chuanbai thought about it for a while, and suddenly he had a "bad idea" and deliberately asked a question beyond the outline.
The examination room was completely silent.
Chen Chuanbai thought no one could answer, but unexpectedly the little girl in the corner stood up.
She opened a pair of clear eyes, and said the answer fluently.
Chen Chuanbai was surprised: "I haven't taught this question in class, how did you know?"
The rest of the children stared at her in amazement.
Being watched by so many people, Huo Qiong smiled shyly, "I borrowed a medical book from Mr. Chen Xiaolang before, and I read it all."
Who is Mr. Chen Xiaolang?
"I did lend her a book."
A gentle young voice came from the inner courtyard, and everyone turned their heads to look.
It turned out to be Mr. Chen Xiaolang, the grandson of Chen Chuanbai!
After Mr. Chen Xiaolang came to the farm with his grandfather, he often lived in seclusion and rarely saw people, so everyone was not familiar with him.
When he saw Lou Yu, he saluted.
Lou Yu asked him to stand up with a smile, and said to Chen Chuanbai, "Old Chen, let's announce the result."
No matter whether he borrowed books or not, no one could question Huo Qiong's answer to such a difficult question in front of everyone.
The drug boys were all downcast.
Lost, they lost completely!
Among all the people, only Huo Qiong got full marks, and No.2 only answered half of the questions correctly.
Lou Yu didn't intend to continue to hit the self-esteem of the drug boys, and only said to Chen Chuanbai: "In the future, there will be an exam every month, and the top three will get rewards. But this time, I will only reward Huo Qiong, and you all know the reason."
No one dared to object.
Lou Yu thought of the rewards given out in school before, and said, "The reward for the first prize is a piece of paper and a Zihao pen."
Drug boys regret it!Simply envious and jealous!
Huo Xuan's face was blue and purple, and he looked at Lou Yu with eyes full of admiration.
He likes His Highness's clear rewards and punishments!
But in the next breath, his respected Highness said terrible words to him: "Huo Xuan disrupted the medical hall, fought bravely, and thought that he was still young, he was punished to practice a hundred sheets of calligraphy and recite twenty poems."
Huo Xuan: "..."
The child visibly weakened, he hated writing and reciting poems the most, it was more tormenting than whipping!
Lou Yu glanced at Huo Yan, meaning that the caning would be spared.
The corners of Huo Yan's lips raised slightly, and they were straightened again in an instant.
"However," Lou Yu praised Huo Xuan again with a smile, "You love your sister, you are responsible, and you are affectionate, which is worthy of praise."
Both Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong smiled.
Lou Yu pinched Huo Xuan's head, "It's a good thing to protect my sister from being bullied, but you must pay attention to the method of doing things, and don't be impulsive and make mistakes."
Huo Xuan nodded again and again, not to mention how well-behaved he was: "Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness, I will remember it!"
Lou Yu turned to Yaotong: "As for you, you have spoken badly, participated in the fight, and punished each of you with a [-]-character letter of repentance, which will be handed in tomorrow!"
All the drug boys: "..."
They are so miserable!
After the matter was settled, Lou Yu went back to the hospital, seeing Huo Yan following up, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"
Huo Yan's eyes were solemn: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Lou Yu had already regarded him as one of his own, and reminded: "However, disciplining children should not just be beaten and scolded. The filial sons born under the stick are only aimed at those who are crooked. Huo Xuan is just a little impulsive, and his heart is quite good. "
Huo Yan has sword eyebrows and star eyes, his face becomes more handsome after he grows, and his whole body has a cold temperament, just like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath, waiting to be born on the day of birth, shocking the world.
At this time, he was smiling, with a gentle expression, not as sharp and fierce as before, but more free and easy, and he was getting farther and farther away from the stern and cruel male protagonist in the original book.
"I understand."
Lou Yu secretly praised Huo Yan for being handsome, said goodbye to him and returned to the courtyard.
Feng Erbi poured tea for him, and asked, "Is the servant going to find the carpenter?"
"Go."
As soon as the words fell, someone outside the courtyard probed their brains.
Feng Erbi grabbed the child and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"
Yang Ji'an chuckled, "I have something to ask Your Highness."
"Okay, come in."
Feng Erbi let him into the house, and ordered someone to go to the river to call for a carpenter with good craftsmanship.
Yang Ji'an is a big kid, and when he sees Lou Yu, he is flattering: "Your Highness only distinguishes rewards and punishments, it's really satisfying!"
"Get down to business." Lou Yu was too lazy to listen to his flattery.
"Your Highness, I heard that there is a training ground at the foot of the mountain in the north. Huo Yan and Commander Li go to train every day. Can I go too?"
He has been holding this matter in his stomach for many days, and has been scratching his heart, and today he finally took the opportunity to speak out.
Lou Yu looked at his slender arms and legs, and refused: "You are still young, now is not the time."
Yang Ji'an became anxious when he heard the words, and almost rolled up his sleeves to show him his muscles.
"Your Highness, I'm not young anymore, I can already fight against Commander Li a few times!"
Seeing his insistence, Lou Yu didn't just suppress him, and said: "Okay, you go and try."
When the time comes, you will be exhausted by the training, so don't cry to him.
Yang Ji'an saluted happily and left the courtyard with a bounce.
Lou Yu shook his head and sighed, chatting with Feng Erbi: "Although Ji'an and Huo Xuan look equally lively, they are actually very different."
"He's only so lively in front of you, the rest of the time he's like a grown-up." Feng Erbi laughed.
"Huo Xuan was really impulsive. If he had reasoned with those children after class, he wouldn't have made such a fuss."
Lou Yu said with emotion: "I hope Huo Yan can listen to my words, and don't punish him with a whip."
Corporal punishment or something, spanking is fine, but whipping is really scary.
Feng Erbi couldn't help laughing, "Your Highness, with the steps you handed over, Huo Yan will not punish you severely."
Lou Yu was stunned for a moment, "The steps I handed over?"
"I think that Huo Yan didn't really want to punish Huo Xiaolang with ten lashes. It should be to appease the anger of the public. It's just that you are kind-hearted and spared the punishment. If you meet a cruel master, ten lashes might not be enough."
Huo Yan seemed to be cruel to Huo Xuan at that time, but in fact he wanted to calm things down.
It's not that he didn't know there was an inside story, but he subconsciously chose to take this step back to save Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong.
Standing in his position, Lou Yu figured it out all of a sudden, but after he figured it out, his face turned black: "He doesn't believe me?!"
Feng Erbi was secretly annoyed at his quick talk, and quickly comforted him: "It's because His Majesty's majesty is getting worse, so he must not dare to belittle."
"Your Highness has forgotten that the Huo family is now a slave, and the status of a slave is already low. Miss Huo is both a woman and a slave. Anyway, the children of the farmer are indeed contemptuous."
Because of slavery, the Huo family's status is quite embarrassing, and things have become difficult.
Lou Yu suddenly realized, no wonder Huo Yan thanked him solemnly just now.
He was willing to remove their slave status, but the Huo family's identities are sensitive, how he treats them in private is one thing, but once he removes the official slave status, it is disobeying the emperor.
"You're right."
Lou Yu was filled with emotions.
Before transmigrating into the book, he was just a reader who assumed the role of the protagonist. He could not be said to be a fan of the hero, but at least he had a sense of intimacy.
After passing through the book, for the sake of his own life, he devoted himself to changing the fate of the male lead and himself, and wanted to take the male lead under his command, but that was all.
But now, he feels more and more that the hero is not just a thin paper man, nor is he just a heroic tool man.
He can be full of resentment when he is desperate, or he can be as delicate and free as before.
He is very complicated, with hatred and suppression of enemies, tenacity and unyielding in the face of adversity, and painstaking and awkward treatment of relatives.
He is so alive.
Such a person deserves to be treated kindly.
He sighed secretly, restrained his thoughts, and ordered Feng Erbi to spread paper and ink.
After a while, a figure similar to a modern clothes hanger appeared on the paper, and Lou Yu also made some changes according to the characteristics of today's clothes.
Feng Erbi was surprised: "What is this?"
Lou Yu made a fool of himself: "You will know when the carpenter finishes making it."
After he finished speaking, he drew another clothes hanger.
After a while, the carpenter arrived and bowed down to salute.
Lou Yu handed him the blueprint and stated his request.The carpenter didn't know what it was, and he didn't dare to ask, so he retreated tremblingly holding the blueprint.
The carpenter had never made these two utensils, but because of the clear drawings and simple workmanship without any technical difficulty, he quickly finished them and sent the finished products to the main courtyard.
Lou Yu tried it, and there was nothing dissatisfied, so he rewarded the carpenter.
The carpenter left happily.
Under Feng Erbi's curious eyes, Lou Yu took down the flowing clothes hanging on the rope in the yard, and stretched them out with a hanger, so that the clothes would hang down naturally, and hang them on the clothes hanger that was taller than a person.
He did the same, saving a lot of space in the courtyard.
Without the cover of loose clothes, the field of vision in the courtyard becomes wider.
Feng Erbi was amazed again and again, and a wave of flattery came rushing forward.
Lou Yu was a little embarrassed, he was just picking up people's teeth.
He asked the carpenter to build a wardrobe as tall as a person. The upper part of the cabinet is used to hang clothes, and the lower part of the drawers is used to store some personal clothing.
In this way, the clothes do not need to be folded, and after drying, they are directly hung on the hangers in the closet, which is much more convenient and trouble-free.
This usage somehow spread.
The farmers all thought it was easy to use, and those who had spare money would go to a carpenter to order it, and those who had no spare money would make some simple ones by themselves.
Even Chen Chuanbai, an old antique, bluntly said that His Highness has ingenuity.
Time passed quickly, and the paper mills by the river were all completed.
The paper mill occupies a large area. There are not only dozens of houses, but also several water mills standing by the river, connected to the paper mill.
The water pestle is a tool for pounding rice or crushing hard objects by using the principles of hydraulic power and levers. With the water pestle, manpower can be greatly saved.
Lou Yu had already prepared paper-making materials such as bamboo, jute, reed, poplar, etc., and just waited for the paper-making workshop to summon workers to officially start work.
Papermaking is a technical job, not everyone can do it.
Lou Yu used to read novels and was interested in handmade paper, so he deliberately learned it, but only once or twice, so he was not proficient.
He had to figure out the steps by himself first, and by the way, use this time to recruit some young and strong laborers who are homeless and willing to sell themselves.
He built a paper mill, not just to make paper.
Raw materials such as bamboo and wood are needed to make paper, and weapons such as bows and crossbows are also needed!
He wanted to use the name of the paper mill to make bows and arrows privately.
In the Dasheng Dynasty, privately manufacturing weapons was a felony of beheading, not to mention bows and crossbows, not even a shield.
Lou Yu dared to take such a big risk because the Dasheng court was in turmoil and had no time to take care of Gu Qingzhou.
As far as he knows, Dasheng's papermaking skills are not as good as those of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Chengxintang paper in the Sui and Tang dynasties was especially famous, and it could also produce paper of different colors.
Dasheng's paper is not smooth, smooth, and beautiful enough, and the papermaking skills he has learned must be far superior to Dasheng's.
Maybe selling paper can also sell a lot of money.
However, in ancient times papermaking was a physical labor. Although Lou Yu had gained some muscles through exercise, he could not make paper at all by himself.
One hundred government soldiers came in handy.
It happened that they also thought the training was boring, so Lou Yu simply let them experience the hardships of the working people.
It is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive task to squeeze raw materials into pulp.
Lou Yu spent a lot of time and effort on the basis of Dasheng's papermaking technique, adding auxiliary materials such as wax paste, corkberry, glue, alum, etc., and experimented dozens of times, and finally produced a smoother and smoother paper.
Its paper color is pure white, as smooth as jade, and the pen and ink are easy to dry without fading, which can be described as the best.
Moreover, Phellodendron has the effect of killing insect eggs. After adding Phellodendron, it can prevent paper from being corroded.
There are many knowledgeable people around him, Huo Yan was born in a noble family, Yang Guanghuai is well-informed, and Chen Chuanbai is an old man, all of them can see that this paper is extraordinary.
Now that paper has been produced beyond Dasheng, techniques such as dyeing, printing, and gold sprinkling have been put on hold.
Only by doing the same thing can we better grasp the market.
After finishing this stage, Lou Yu took a vacation for himself, moved a deck chair, and leaned against the yard to bask in the sun.
With the gentle spring breeze and the warm sunshine, Lou Yu was lying on the armchair drowsy.
"Your Highness, Huo Xiaolang and Miss Huo are here." Feng Erbi reported softly.
Lou Yu opened his eyes and sat up.
"Let them in."
He was too busy these days, and he didn't have time to see these little guys.
Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong entered the courtyard side by side, and when they looked up at Lou Yu, they couldn't help being stunned.
At this time, the sun was shining, and the golden light was shining on Lou Yu. He was dressed in a cloud-white robe, and his posture was leisurely and unrestrained.
Lou Yu was amused by the goose-like demeanor of the two of them, he bent his eyes and asked, "What are you doing in a daze?"
Huo Xuan had a straightforward temper, and said, "Your Highness is so beautiful, I accidentally stared blankly."
Feng Erbi grinned, he liked hearing others praise His Highness.
Huo Qiong was more reserved, and said cautiously: "The last time I was in the medical center, Your Highness rescued me. I don't have anything valuable to give to Your Highness, so I learned from Master to make a sachet. Inside are some warm herbs, which can calm the mind and calm the mind." The effect of Qi."
Although she said so, the sachet was not taken out.
Lou Yu couldn't help asking, "Where's the sachet?"
The little girl lowered her head in shame, "I'll go back and make a new one."
She suddenly felt that the sachet she made was not worthy of His Royal Highness!
Lou Yu said, "No need, just use this."
Doing another one will inevitably delay the little girl's spare time.
Huo Qiong had no choice but to hold out the sachet.
The sachet is round, with a flying miniature crane embroidered on the surface of the azure bag, the artistic conception is elegant and detached, but the fabric is rough and the stitching is not perfect, so it is indeed a bit unhandy.
Lou Yu took it without hesitation, his eyes revealed admiration: "You embroidered this yourself?"
Huo Qiong nodded, "The technique is so poor that His Highness laughed at it."
"It's very well embroidered!" Lou Yu praised sincerely.
A girl about ten years old can embroider like this, which is already very good.
Moreover, holding the sachet in the palm of the hand, there is a light fragrance, and the mind is peaceful when smelling it, it is indeed hard work.
He directly hung the sachet on the girdle, and said seriously: "I like the sachet very much, thank you."
The azure bag noodles and the cloud white robe complement each other, which is really good.
Huo Qiong was happy and moved.
Your Highness is so kind!
Huo Xuan saw that his younger sister was being praised, and not to be outdone, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I also have a gift for you!"
"Oh? What is it?"
Huo Xuan pretended to be mysterious: "The gift is placed outside, I will go and bring it in."
After saying that, before Lou Yu could speak, he dragged Huo Qiong out of the courtyard.
After a while, five strong men stepped into the courtyard.
Lou Yu raised his eyebrows immediately, and suddenly understood in his heart.
I'm afraid this is not a gift from Huo Xuan, but a gift from Huo Yan!
He straightened his sitting posture subconsciously, and said straight to the point: "Did Huo Yan ask you to come?"
Wang Dayong and the others looked at each other for a few moments, kneeling on the ground together, and said in unison: "Wang Dayong (Xu Jiang, Lu Dabao, Ma Qiang, Wang Xiaohe) is willing to serve His Highness!"
Lou Yu's face was calm: "Everyone, please stand up."
The five stood up, and Wang Dayong stated: "If your Highness has something to do, just ask me to wait."
Lou Yu asked very straightforwardly: "Are you making this gesture because of Huo Yan's order, or are you willing to serve me? If it's the former, please go back."
"Your Highness is serious," Wang Dayong said with a bow, "I came from Yangwu Mountain to look for the second young master, and I really planned to rescue the second young master. But these days, I have seen it clearly, instead of taking the second young master back to become a bandit , it is better to serve His Highness here, I implore His Highness to take it in!"
Lou Yu didn't believe it all, but since they had already stated their position in this way, it was hard for him to convince Huo Yan.
Now is the time for employing people, and it is time for the bandits in Yangwu Mountain to realize their value.
He asked, "How many people are there in the old department of the Huo family?"
"Including me and others, a total of 260 and seven people."
Lou Yu nodded secretly, more than 200 people are enough.
"Can you guarantee that more than 200 people will all agree to come to Gyeongju Prefecture to work for me?"
Wang Dayong nodded, "I have sent a letter back, and they are all willing to come to Qingzhou Prefecture."
Lou Yu thought to himself, I'm afraid it's because of Huo Yan, Prince Qing's son doesn't have such a big face.
He smiled, "Let's wait until everyone is here. You are all brave and skilled fighters. With you joining, Prince Qing's Mansion will be even more powerful. If you have free time, you can participate in training together and teach those soldiers."
Wang Dayong and the other five retreated in response.
Lou Yu lay back on the chair again, his eyebrows slightly closed in thought.
"Your Highness, do you really want to use them?" Feng Erbi asked tentatively.
Lou Yu raised his eyes lazily, "What do you want to say?"
Feng Erbi said: "These former members of the Huo family are loyal to the Huo family, and now they are willing to stay here because Huo Yan is here. If things go on like this, I'm afraid..."
"Worried about them having two hearts?" Lou Yu asked with a smile.
Feng Erbi nodded. From ancient times to the present, whoever holds the military power is the boss.
Now His Royal Highness clearly uses Huo Yan, Huo Yan's prestige in the army is getting worse, and with the old troops in Yangwu Mountain, it is impossible for Feng Erbi not to worry.
He lowered his voice and said: "The Huo family is a criminal slave of the imperial court. Your Highness, you are of the royal blood. Maybe Huo Yan will not avenge your kindness, but there is no guarantee that those bandits will not sway you."
Lou Yu didn't know that Feng Erbi still had such agility, so he joked with a smile: "Didn't you say good things for Huo Yan before? Why, did you fall out with him?"
"One yard is one yard." Feng Erbi quickly explained, "Slave discusses the matter."
Lou Yu got up, "You're right, but I'm short of people for the time being, so it doesn't matter if I use them."
