Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

Lou Yu invited Ann, had breakfast, and went back to the east courtyard with a yawn.

I didn't sleep well last night, and my whole head was dizzy.

Just about to catch up on returning home, the servant came to report: "Your Highness, there is someone outside the mansion asking for an audience and handing over a token."

Lou Yu was shocked, "Where is the token?"

The handkerchief handed over the handkerchief with both hands respectfully, the corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with the logo of Prince Qing's Mansion, it was indeed the token he gave to Yang Ji'an that day.

"Please come in."

The handyman was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "It's two people."

Lou Yu was surprised and curious, "Let them in."

Although Feng Erbi didn't like to see little beggars, he would not lose his manners, and ordered the rough envoy maid to make tea and serve snacks.

Yang Ji'an outside the mansion received the answer, and grinned excitedly, "Master, Your Majesty still remembers me!"

In the past three days, he was really worried that the prince would forget things too much.

Now my heart is at peace.

Stepping into the high threshold, you will see gorgeous pavilions, winding corridors, dreamlike in the heavy snow.

For a moment, Yang Ji'an felt timid.

He is so out of place.

"Master..."

Yang Guanghuai held his wrist firmly, not being overwhelmed by the luxurious mansion, and calmly went to the East Courtyard under the guidance of the servants.

Yang Ji'an didn't dare to speak all the way, and couldn't help but look around, constantly marveling at the fake mountains, clear pools, carved beams and painted buildings of the palace.

Self-abased gradually.

But when he thought of the gentle and kind Lou Yu that day, he felt a little delusional again.

He wants to become a talent, he wants to become strong, so that he can truly fall into the eyes of His Royal Highness!

To the east courtyard.

Yang Guanghuai tidied up his robes, stepped into this small courtyard under the heavy snow of goose feathers, and met Lou Yu who greeted him under the corridor.

Lou Yu thought in his heart: Good looks, perfect temperament, but the body is too thin.

Yang Guang said with a heart: handsome eyebrows and fine eyes, clear eyes, but a little young.

When they met for the first time, the two had a good impression of each other.

Yang Guanghuai took the lead in bowing and bowing, "My lord, Yang Guanghuai, thank you Your Highness for saving your life."

Yang Ji'an followed and saluted.

"Mr. Yang is polite, please come in." Lou Yu turned around and entered the room without being polite.

The charcoal basin is burning in the house, which is as warm as spring.

Yang Ji'an had been out in the cold for a long time, and when he first entered the house, he felt his fingers and ears itchy, so he forcibly refrained from scratching because of etiquette.

He boldly said: "Your Highness, I have already done what you ordered me to do."

Lou Yu greeted the two of them for tea, "Warm up first before talking."

While Yang Ji'an was obediently drinking tea, Lou Yu looked at Yang Guanghuai carefully.

He was young, still had baby fat, and looked at people with a pair of curious eyes, which was not offensive.

"Your Highness, to be honest, Yang came here uninvited today, one is to save his life, and the other is to apply for a wife."

Yang Guanghuai's straightforward attitude made Lou Yu feel good about it.

He directly asked: "Does Mr. Yang have a reputation?"

"I have been working as a scholar for 18 years."

There is more than enough enlightenment for scholars.

Lou Yu was deeply surprised by his age. He has been working for 18 years. In other words, Yang Guanghuai was selected as a scholar ten years ago. How old was he then?

He thought so, so he asked.

After Yang Ji'an drank the tea, his courage became stronger, his eyes showed pride, and he replied for Yang Guanghuai: "Master is a scholar among the 13 years old."

Lou Yu: Awesome!

But with Yang Guanghuai's talent, he shouldn't be still a scholar ten years later.

He didn't continue to ask, just said: "Sir, it would be great if you are willing to teach me. How about ten taels a month?"

The servants in the mansion basically only have a few hundred coins a month, but intellectuals are expensive everywhere, and ten taels is not too much.

Feng Erbi felt sour, his monthly payment was only two taels at most!

Unexpectedly, Yang Guanghuai refused, and said: "Yang doesn't want monthly money."

Lou Yu was curious: "What do you want?"

"A shelter."

Lou Yu understood, and said after deliberation: "The palace does not support idlers. I can provide accommodation for the children, but they need to do things for me."

Of course, Lou Yu would not let the children do heavy work, but hoped that they would not develop the bad habit of getting something for nothing.

With Yang Ji'an around, these children are worth his money.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking, and his eyes fell on Yang Ji'an's immature face.

The future overlord of the world and the future General Yang are both in the mansion now, should we let them join forces in advance?

In the book, they actually met five years later.

At that time, the city of Gyeongju was broken, and the two fled in the chaos. They met on the way to escape, and they were congenial, and they joined the army against the imperial court together, starting the journey of kingship.

But now, they are all in Prince Qing's Mansion, under his nose.

After some conversation, Yang Guanghuai felt that Prince Qing's son was quite different from the rumors, and with the idea of ​​sincere cooperation, he asked, "How does Your Highness plan to settle the children?"

Lou Yu thought for a while: "I need a little book boy for the time being, so Yang Ji'an will live in the mansion with my husband, and I will send the rest of the children to the Wang Manor, so that they will not be short of food or clothing."

Feng Erbi's eyes widened, Your Highness, he can also be a book boy!

Yang Guanghuai tested the bottom line again: "They are all my students, and I hope they can continue to study."

Feng Erbi on the side was speechless, where did this beggar who claimed to be a scholar have such a face?Do you want His Highness to support those little beggars for free, to eat, to drink, to study?

Lou Yu frowned, "Not yet."

His every move is being watched by others, and this matter is not beneficial to him at present.

Yang Guanghuai smiled, stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Yang Ji'an, who was named as a book boy, was in a daze.

His wish came true so quickly?

Lou Yu said: "Ji'an, I can tell you what I asked you to inquire about."

Yang Ji'an hurriedly corrected his posture, his small face was serious: "Gyeongju Prefecture has a total of about 8000 households. Calculated on an average of five people per household, it is about [-] people. Gyeongju Prefecture has [-]% of the land tax this year, and now the price of food has risen. Up to one or two dollars..."

The child reported everything in detail, and even inquired clearly about what Lou Yu had not ordered, and kept it firmly in his mind.

Not only food prices, but also meat prices, vegetable prices, cloth prices, etc., are all right.

Feng Erbi was stunned when he heard that.

After racking his brains, Yang Ji'an looked at Lou Yu expectantly, seeing Lou Yu smiling and praising him, he couldn't help smiling, unable to hide his joy at all.

Lou Yu asked with a smile, "Would you like to be my book boy?"

Yang Ji'an nodded fiercely: "I am willing!"

Lou Yu asked Yang Guanghuai to live alone in a courtyard, while Yang Ji'an was led to Huo Yan's courtyard.

Only Lou Yu and Feng Erbi were left in the room.

Lou Yu pondered for a moment, then ordered: "You fetch the Wangfu's account book for this year."

Feng Erbi responded, but hesitated to speak.

"Just say something."

Feng Erbi asked cautiously: "Why does Your Highness suddenly care about these common affairs?"

In fact, he wanted to say that His Highness's disposition these past few days is quite different from the past.

Lou Yu said casually: "Guo Tang said that the Qingzhou government can't support our house, and our palace is almost out of food. Father and king never care about these things, and mother only likes to wield knives and guns. If I don't care, I'm afraid it will be next year. starve."

Feng Erbi: "..."

Your Highness is a little unfounded.

He was about to say something comforting, but Lou Yu's expression suddenly turned serious: "Erbi, you have always been the person I trust the most. Today, I want to say something from the bottom of my heart to you."

Feng Erbi's pupils shrank slightly, and without thinking about it, he knelt on his knees, and his voice was firm: "I can learn from the world's loyalty to Your Highness! Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Lou Yu didn't ask him to get up immediately, but sighed softly, showing maturity that didn't match his age.

"Three years ago, I went to Beijing with my father to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, do you remember?"

Feng Erbi's heart was pounding, His Highness is really different!

"I have always been with His Highness, I remember."

"Then do you know that His Majesty intends to cut down the feudal clan?"

This? !

Feng Erbi's mind turned extremely fast, and he immediately understood Lou Yu's meaning.

He raised his head abruptly, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Highness..."

"I found out about this by chance." Lou Yu looked serious, "In order to avoid the limelight, after returning to the fief, I decided to be a jerk."

An idle feudal lord, plus a dandy son, will definitely not become the emperor's thorn in the side.

Even if the feudal clan were to be abolished, Prince Qing's Mansion would not be the first to bear the brunt.

Feng Erbi carefully recalled three years ago and found that it was indeed the case!

Before the age of ten, His Highness was cute and cute, but since entering Beijing to celebrate his birthday, he has gradually become domineering, arrogant and unpredictable.

He never knew the reason, but he didn't expect the truth to be so shocking!

If the emperor really wants to cut down the feudal clan, what will happen to His Highness?After the vassal was cut, the fiefdom was taken back. As a member of the royal family, he was bound to be called back to the capital. With no power or money, he would definitely be bullied and ridiculed.

For three years, His Highness has endured this torment alone!

Looking at his expression, Lou Yu knew that he believed most of it, coughed lightly, and continued:

"In the eyes of some people, if we don't make mistakes in Qing Palace, we make mistakes, and if we make mistakes, we don't make mistakes. Therefore, I have to make mistakes, but I can't really make mistakes."

Lou Yu knows that he can't hide his true temperament from Feng Erbi, he needs to find a decent excuse to make Feng Erbi accept this setting from the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, Feng Erbi was fooled, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Your Highness, you have suffered."

When he thought of his little Highness, in order not to be jealous of the emperor, he insisted on making himself notorious, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

Lou Yu finally didn't have to pretend anymore, he was really relieved.

He smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to support Feng Erbi: "It's been hard for you to follow me."

Tears appeared in Feng Er's eyes.

He got up and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a nasal voice: "Your Highness, I will get you the account book."

"Okay." Lou Yu paused, "I'll give you one more thing."

"Your Highness, please order."

"I hope that tomorrow all the people in Qingzhou Mansion will know that there is no gentleman willing to come to Prince Qing's Mansion. For the sake of face, the prince has to hire a beggar to teach, and even foolishly support a few little beggars."

Feng Erbi knew that his eldest son wanted to hide his clumsiness, so he nodded repeatedly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely do it!"

Soon, Feng Erbi moved the account book and devoted himself to the work of public opinion.

In the tea houses and restaurants, there were quite a few people talking about Prince Qing's Mansion, and most of them laughed at Prince Qing's son's stupid behavior after listening to it.

The eyes and ears hidden in the market reported the news to the magistrate, but in exchange for a few sneering smiles.
