The ancient life of a master craftsman

Yunli really hated Chen Yingcai so much that she gritted her teeth in her heart, and it was fine if he lost his good reputation in the past.Thinking about what he did afterwards, he wished he could chop him a few times, but now he is still entangled with him and Brother En.

He even asked his father-in-law to take the lead for him, bought prostitutes and stuffed them in Brother En's carriage, so that he would not even have a chance to resist, and wanted to catch Brother En.

Master Xiao Sanyuan is doing lewd things in the street, and Brother En will be ashamed to see people if he talks about it.

Yunli clenched her fists, her eyes were full of anger, if Chen Yingcai was in front of him, he would definitely chop him up.Don't regret it too much in my heart, if I knew him, I would stop his father, and the rescue dog would not help Chen's surname.

Something better than a pig and a dog!

"Have you met Chen Yingcai before?" He seemed to have heard the name Yanyu somewhere, and remembered that Brother Qiaoer came out of the same place as him, so he must have talked about him.

"Brother Jiu, call Brother Qiao in, I have something to ask." Yunli's face was sullen, her tone was very stern, and her momentum was sufficient.

Zhang Jiu responded softly, behaved much more politely than before, and called Brother Qiao into the house.

Over the past few days, Brother Qiaoer also knows that Li Fulang is the most kind person, and usually treats the housekeeper Zhang Jiu like a brother, but now let alone outsiders, the housekeeper behaves well.Brother Qiao'er was a little flustered.

"I've met Li Fulang." Brother Qiao didn't need Zhang Jiu to remind him, and took the initiative to kneel down and salute.

Yunli is not the kind of master who likes to torment others, so she yelled directly, "Brother Qiao, get up and answer."

"Thank you, Li Fulang." Brother Qiao stood up, with lowered eyebrows, waiting for Yunli to ask.

"You two used to have a good friendship?" Yunli always felt as if she had heard their names before, but she couldn't remember when she heard them.

"Back to Li Fulang, the little one turned out to be a low-class person in the pickled land. Thanks to Yanyu's care, life is easier."

Brother Qiao didn't dare to reveal what happened at the beginning. For one thing, Mr. Li specifically told him not to speak out, and Li Fulang also looked like he didn't know anything. In case he said something and disturbed others The relationship between husband and wife is not beautiful.

Secondly, Yan Yu didn't know that he had done such a thing behind his back, and he only came here in accordance with their old rules of receiving guests for him.

Brother Qiao'er knows the secret the most. If one more person knows the secret, there will be more uncertainty. If a little guy like him really leaks his mouth, he deserves it if he is thrown into the mountain and fed to wild animals tomorrow.

Therefore, he only talked about his past relationship with Yanyu, and he didn't mention half a superfluous word.

Yunli lowered her eyes, wondering inexplicably when he had heard the name Yanyu, but now it was not the time for him to think, so he asked, "Yanyu, let me ask you, Boss Zhang spent How much silver to buy you?"

"500 taels." Yan Yu hurriedly replied, Xinglong Town was a small town, and he wasn't the number one in the building, so 500 taels was a high price, so I remembered it clearly.

It's also the bawdy in the building that has rules, but all brothers and sisters who are sold must know how much money they have been sold, so as to prevent some prostitutes from being deceived by others with their hard-earned money saved by selling their flesh and blood. It is not unheard of to redeem the body of a prostitute and then cheat the prostitute for money, so the madam has to be on guard.

"500 taels is a big amount, and you are not the top card, why use so much money?" Yunli was asking what Boss Zhang had asked him to do.

"Don't dare to lie to Li Fulang, my redemption money is 300 taels, but Boss Zhang spent 200 taels to buy things for fun in the building, so that the madam will not let the news out, and say to the outside world that my ransom money is 500 taels."

"In addition, Boss Zhang also said that as long as I climb into Master Li's bed, he will give me another 50 taels of silver to settle down, and if I can find out the secret of Young Master Liu, he will give me 200 taels."

In fact, Yanyu only knew that his redemption money was 300 taels, but he didn't know that Boss Zhang also spent 200 taels to buy things for fun in the building.

It's just that when he left, Xiuhong, who had been vying for customers with him, said sourly, "500 taels of redemption money, you are the first one in the building!"

At that time, Yan Yu was still surprised that he had clearly seen the old bustard take 300 taels of silver, saying that it was his deed money, and he would belong to Boss Zhang in the future.Why did Xiuhong say it was 500 taels?

But his own reaction in the carriage made him understand where the rest of the money was spent. He had already known the properties of the medicine in the building. Which prostitute hadn't been raped in the building?

He told Li Fulang about the matter in detail, and after listening to it, Yunli felt that Zhang's family was also low-key.

"So your contract of sale is still in the hands of Boss Zhang?" Although Yunli felt that the Zhang family's eyes were dark, she still asked.

"Yes, Boss Zhang said that if I can do a good job for him, he will return the contract of sale to me after three years."

Seeing Yanyu nodding, he was not disappointed, but had a feeling that it was so.

He didn't have anything to ask when he asked here. The Yanyu was picked up by Boss Zhang on the day of the banquet, which means that the person surnamed Zhang is not afraid of people knowing that the Yanyu was sent by the mayor for him. Let Brother En come to ask for Yanyu's deed of prostitution.

Thinking of this, Yunli stood up, "Okay, you have a rest, I will arrange a place for you the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Said the time limit is to warn Yan Yu, to be honest in the past two days, and at the same time to make a guarantee to him that he will not be sent back.

Yan Yu felt relieved, compared to Boss Zhang's rich and heartless rich man, he believed in Li Fulang even more, even if it was for the sake of Li Xiucai's reputation, Li Fulang would not put him to death.As for Boss Zhang's money, I'm afraid he will earn his life but not spend it.

Yunli held Zhang Jiu's hand, and left the room with her back straight. The remaining two waited quietly for him to walk out before daring to pant loudly, which shows how much pressure there was just now.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and burst into laughter, "Brother Yu, it's all over now, don't worry, Li Fulang has a good heart, and he promised not to drive you away, so he will definitely keep his word."

"Yeah!" Yan Yu smiled and rolled his eyes, "But this Li Fulang's aura really startled me, he doesn't look like he came from an ordinary farmer's family."

As I said before, Xinglong Town is small, and Yan Yu and the others have never seen much of the world, but they have seen a lot of peddlers, pawns, students and merchants, so they can see people accurately.

Because Qiaoer had been to the capital for a while, he didn't feel much about Yunli's aura, but Yanyu's feeling was more obvious, because he had never seen the husbands of those big households.

When he said that, Brother Qiaoer naturally wouldn't refute anything, after all, to him, Yunli was the master, and he was just happy for Yanyu to get out of the pit of fire.

Over there, Yunli went back to the room and began to exchange information with Li Enbai. He was always awkward, thinking that he must have heard the name Yanyu from Li Enbai before, so he said it honestly.

Seeing this, Li Enbai didn't want to have a estrangement with him because of this matter, so he told how to design Bai Xiaocha and Chen Yingcai, saying that he should have heard what he and Liu Mingxi said by chance. thing.

It was only then that Yunli remembered that there was such a bad person as Bai Xiaocha, and she had an idea, "Brother En, let me handle Yanyu, do you think it's okay?"

"Of course." Li Enbai didn't look at Liu Chong's attitude as if he wanted to accept Yanyu, and his family couldn't accommodate Yanyu. Now that Yunli took the initiative to ask to deal with this trouble, how could Li Enbai say he didn't want to?

So Yanyu rested at Li's house for two days, and was taken out by Yunli, along with Zhang Jiu.When they came back in the afternoon, Yanyu had disappeared, Yunli didn't say where she sent him, and Li Enbai didn't ask, just pretending that there had never been such a person.

Li Enbai called Yunhe to help, and the two of them worked overtime to make a set of movable type printing molds. After a two-day break, they worked together to print the thousand-character text.

Don't look at the Thousand-Character Classic as an enlightenment book, but around Xinglong Town, it sells a lot more than Zheye's The Analects of Confucius and the Doctrine of the Mean.

He engaged in movable type printing, and he didn't hide it. The Liu family's uncle and nephew were originally on the same boat. Seeing that movable type printing was also developed by him, he only said that he had a flexible mind, but he dared not mention cooperation.

Zhao Ping'an was eager to try, but unfortunately his father was in charge of his family, so he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to go to the capital to write a letter.

Li Enbai knew that movable type printing should have been born when he saw that he didn't have much experience, but it hadn't been popularized. If he could promote the promotion of movable type printing, he would surely get a lot of experience.

So it was within his expectation that the Liu family didn't mention cooperation. His original goal was Zhao Ping'an, or the prince behind Zhao Ping'an.

The reason why movable type printing cannot be popularized must be the result of the game between the royal family and the aristocratic family, but the aristocratic family is a minority after all, and the people of the whole world are the big ones.

The so-called those who win the hearts of the people win the world, if the prince wants to have more voice, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to win over the people in the world.

Living and working in peace is a way, and making people able to read books is also a way. Now Li Enbai puts this way in front of his eyes, and it depends on whether he dares to move.

After all, this version of movable type printing has nothing to do with the aristocratic half a dime, but he researched it alone, used it to teach students, and sold the excess to bookstores along the way.

"Brother, thank you for your hard work." Li Enbai looked at the printed [-] volumes of the Thousand Characters. The first [-] volumes still had some problems, such as too much ink, too little ink, missing prints, etc., but the next [-] volumes had no problems No.

"It's not hard, but brother-in-law, are you really planning to open a school in the village?" Yunhe confirmed again and again, for fear that Li Enbai would suddenly regret it.

"Of course, the textbooks are ready, and it's time to talk to my father and find a place for me to teach." Li Enbai patted his uncle on the shoulder.

"But what should you do about your imperial examinations? It's a big deal to pass the exams, so you can't delay it." Yunhe worried that teaching would distract his brother-in-law's energy, and he didn't study hard enough, so he would fail in the exams.

"Brother, don't worry, the college exam is every two years, but the rural exam is every three years. The next rural exam happens to be in the same year as the next college exam, so I still have a year and a half to prepare."

In fact, Li Enbai didn't want to continue to take the entrance examination immediately. He didn't want to be successful, he didn't want to be too popular, and he should be quiet if he won the small three yuan. It just so happened that the next rural examination would be until the next year, which gave him a buffer time.

Yunhe was still a little worried after hearing this, and then he said that he could review the past and learn the new while teaching, so he stopped blocking, after all, they had been looking forward to building a school in the village for a long time.

So he immediately went to discuss with his father, and within a long time, the whole village knew that the most promising Li Xiucai in their village was about to open a school.

The whole village is in full swing, more lively than New Year's Eve.Another day later, the news spread even farther, including the surrounding villages, and there was no one who was not busy, and every household began to walk around with Huaimu Village.

Liu Chuncheng saw that he had finished printing the Thousand-Character Classic, the Three-Character Classic, and the Disciple Rules after printing... In short, he printed a large set of enlightenment books, and printed a thousand copies of each type.

So I asked him, "Are you going to accept a thousand students?"

"Of course not, at most five or sixty people."

"Then so many books are..."

"I plan to ask my uncle and brother Haishan to sell it in a few days. The county town, surrounding towns, and villages will sell it. The money will be used to build a school. If there is not enough money, I will print books and sell them. Wait for the work of selling books. Sure enough, it will not be difficult to invite two gentlemen to come."

Li Enbai had planned for a long time. The reason why the village couldn't afford a school was because they were poor and couldn't afford Shuxiu, and secondly, scholars didn't want to come to the countryside.
