The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

After the master and apprentice had a meal, they came out of the box together.

"Little Sanbao has grown up." Zhao Si raised his hand and hooked the little apprentice's neck, pulled the little apprentice over, and licked the little apprentice's head.He watched the little apprentice grow up, and it seems that he hasn't seen him for a few years. The little apprentice is so old, and he even came to the capital to become an official.

Zhao Si knew what the little apprentice did for them, and sure enough, the apprentice didn't hurt in vain when he was young.

"Hmm... let go, master, let me go quickly." Li Wen struggled to escape his head from the master's clutches, wishing he could stand a little farther away, "Master, do you think I'm still three years old? "

"Haha, I miss you when you were three years old." Zhao Si laughed, thinking of that tender and white little bun apprentice, who was much cuter than now.

Li Wen was so angry that he didn't want to talk to this master anymore.

When the two of them went out, Zhao Si looked at the big dog following him, and said to Li Wen, "Master Dog took it back. If you want to see it, you can go to the General's Mansion to see it. Wait for the things in the capital." After I'm done, I might go back to the border and bring the general with me." Since the dog wants to continue to follow him, when he leaves the capital, he can only take the dog with him.

"Well, okay, master, take it back. Master, if you are sure when you are going to leave, remember to tell me." Li Wen looked at the master and then at the dog. He was reluctant to both the dog and the master. I don't really want his master to go back to the border.

But he knows that some things don't happen because he doesn't want them to, and what will happen will continue to follow the original track, and he can't stop anything.

"Just now I said that I have grown up, ha ha..." Zhao Sineng could feel the little apprentice's reluctance to him, so he smiled, reached out and patted the little apprentice on the shoulder.Li Wen still wanted to act coquettishly with his master like he did when he was a child, but...it's really inappropriate at this moment, so let's forget it after thinking about it.

The two people went to different places and walked in opposite directions.

Li Wen stood at the back, watching the dog follow his master away, feeling a little sour in his heart, this dog has been raised by him for more than half a year, so he naturally has feelings for this dog.Although he was a bit reluctant to return the dog, he knew that the dog liked to follow its original owner, so he had no choice but to reluctantly return the dog.

"Hey, why don't I raise one myself." He thought to himself.

But it will be a long time until he has a dog...

After the establishment of the comprehensive market in the North District, the department store in the South District is preparing to start construction again.After obtaining the emperor's approval, Li Wen asked officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to survey the land together, and circled the land for the construction of the department store.

Before building the department store, there are still many things to be dealt with in the early stage.

This will involve the demolition of some houses, and these issues must be dealt with in advance.In this era of supremacy of the imperial power, it is rare for the government personnel to come forward to deal with it. It is rare for someone to firmly disagree with the surrender of the land. Under the condition that they give reasonable compensation, the two parties formally sign the land surrender agreement. Book.

The progress of the matter was smoother than Li Wen imagined.

When the Minister of the Ministry of Industry saw Li Wen coming, he felt that there was nothing good to do. This boy would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he must be looking for someone to come to the Ministry of Industry.Li Wen didn't beat around the bush, and directly proposed that the original crew from last time should be in charge. The reason was that they had experience in building a comprehensive market before, and the construction of the department store this time must be done by that master.

He personally went to the Ministry of Industry and successfully got someone from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

So in the following period of time, Li Wen started to get busy with the construction of the department store.

Enke was added this year, Shen Zijing and Su Yuan were both preparing for the scientific examination in August, which would start in a few months, and now both of them put most of their attention on reviewing.Knowing that they were busy preparing for the exam, Li Wen didn't find too many things for the two of them to do. Fortunately, he has trained a group of people who can be used, and some things can be ordered to be handled by the people below.

However, compared to Shen Zijing and Su Yuan, other people are not as easy to use as they are, so he still needs to personally do a lot of things.

After five or six days, the soldiers who were left behind by General Zhao Zhuo and Zhao arrived at the capital. The team entered the city in a mighty manner, and the people in the city ran over to welcome them. All the soldiers were a little flattered.

"Wow, why are there so many people coming to welcome us?"

"You ask me, how do I know."

These soldiers didn't know how much the people in the capital respected them when the news that the border guards had repelled the Hu people reached the capital.

Bye, the Kyoto Daily is tracking and reporting the battle at the border in real time, and the people in the capital know about their heroic attack on the enemy

Pieces.

Therefore, when they knew that these soldiers would return to Beijing to receive rewards, as soon as these common people received the news, they ran over to welcome the soldiers into the city.

The girls held a basket with fresh flowers in their hands, and they sprinkled the flowers in the basket on the soldiers who entered the city. They were pointing and whispering.

The soldier on horseback saw a little girl pointing at him, and asked his teammates, "Do you think they have taken a fancy to me?" He happened to be short of a daughter-in-law, so he wondered if he would have a chance to come to the capital this time. Marry a daughter-in-law and go back to have babies.

"Nonsense, they are obviously looking at me."

"I'm more handsome than you, they must be looking at me."

"Who doesn't have two eyes and one nose? Why do you say you are more handsome than me? I am also quite handsome."

The two brothers on horseback argued all the way over this issue.

Seeing a little girl looking at them, these soldiers on horseback raised their heads up and their chests upright, making the little girls below scream.

This day, Li Wen was busy with a meeting with the people below. He knew that General Zhao and their master had returned to the capital first, and the rest of the team hadn't arrived yet.Li Wen only knew that the team that came back from the border had arrived in the capital today, but he didn't know the scene at that time. If he knew how lively it was, maybe he would go to watch the excitement.

But by the time they finished their meeting, half a day had passed.

That night, when Zhao Xiangyi came over, he brought him a small box, saying that General Zhao asked him to bring it.Li Wen saw the box on the table and asked curiously, "What's in it?"

Glancing at the man who brought the box, the box was not locked, Li Wen directly opened the box, saw a box of jewelry and jade inside, he took a ruby ​​to look at it, couldn't help laughing, Asked, "Abbe asked you to bring this thing to me?"

He is used to calling "Uncle" now, and he doesn't feel embarrassed to call "Uncle", but if he is asked to call General Zhao "Daddy", he may not be able to say it.

"Well, I told you to play with it." Zhao Xiangyi brought his father's original words. What he didn't say was that his mother also had a box of such things. His father likes to save all the good things for his mother. .

Now there is one more person.

"What do I, a grown man, want to play with these things?" Li Wen took a look at the gems and jades in the box. If the things in this box were left in later generations, they would be really valuable.He was a little curious about where this box came from, so he asked, "Where did this thing come from, the border gate is rich in these precious stones?"

"Well, my father brought it back from the border." Zhao Xiangyi had stayed in the border for several years, and he knew that there was a mountain outside the border that had these things, so he mentioned that place.

Li Wen looked through the jade in the box. He didn't know much about jade, but he also knew that from ancient times to the present, as long as a woman likes such beautiful things.A thought flashed through his mind, Li Wen raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xiangyi, and said with a smile, "I have come up with a way to make money here, and I still make a lot of money."

"When you come back, you can help me make an appointment with Uncle, and I will have a good talk with Uncle about this matter."

If these jade gems are abundant in the border area, he has a way to make a lot of money here.

This era has not yet been like the later generations. The jade everywhere has been over-mined, and everything that can be dug has been dug clean.The places where jade is produced at this moment have not been developed, and there must be a lot of good products.If they could transport the raw materials back to the capital, and find some skilled craftsmen to carve out the finished products, he still remembered some unique and beautiful jewelry styles in his mind. If they could make the finished products, they would definitely be very popular.

"You haven't told me what the solution is." At this moment, General Zhao was dissatisfied, why did he only tell his father and not him!

"Pfft..." Li Wen took a look at this person and knew what was going on in his mind.

"Do you think the things sold in the silver houses here in the capital are not cheap?" Li Wen had no choice but to explain the matter to the man, "If we transport these raw materials back to the capital, they will be processed by some skilled masters. If you resell it, think about how much money you can make in the process?"

"If the soldiers at the border can earn some extra money, will the lives of the soldiers at the border be improved?" Li Wen asked.

And now there is a good way before them.

That's right!Zhao Xiangyi's eyes lit up, "I'll go back and tell my dad."

"Don't worry, it's the middle of the night, maybe Uncle and your mother are both asleep. Didn't you disturb them when you went back?" Li Wen hurriedly pulled this person back, didn't you disturb the lives of other couples when you went back now? ?He was worried that General Zhao would wake up in the middle of the night and beat his son to death.
