Seeing the team that wanted to go to sea leave, Wang Jue walked to the study with Ah Lu in his arms. Halfway through, he was stopped by Wang Cheng, "Lady, the New Year's gifts have been sent out, and the New Year's gifts and the shares of various industries we received have also been recovered, and I have recorded them in the book." ”

Wang Jue took the booklet and did not open it to check it, but continued to walk to the study with Wang Cheng, and said as he walked: "This year, my disciple Li is going to open a literary society, and the architectural drawings of the literary society have been drawn. ”

Wang Cheng took the drawings and left, and after going down the mountain, he found that the villagers of Nanshan were holding a meeting. The whole village is in the open space at the foot of the mountain, and Village Chief Wu is standing at the head and talking about how to generate income in the village this year. Wang didn't want to interrupt the meeting, and he couldn't wait for the villagers' sharp eyes, "That's not Steward Wang, is he coming down the mountain to find us for anything?" ”

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on himself, Wang Cheng hurriedly explained the matter and handed the drawings to Village Chief Wu. Listening to Wang Cheng's statement, the literary club is going to be built not far from Suiyuan, imagining that Nanshan will be more popular after the establishment of the literary club, how can Village Chief Wu not want to help.

They have a good life today thanks to Uncle Wang County, and every time they help Uncle Wang County build a house, they earn a lot, so whenever Wang Jue needs anything, the villagers will stop the work they are doing even if they are busy. The scene was quiet when Wang Cheng spoke, and after listening to him, the villagers all discussed with excited expressions.

Knowing that when Li returned after the New Year, Wang Xianbo would start to operate the matter, and the villagers hurriedly purchased materials according to the requirements on the drawings to start work. There is a lively scene full of hope at the bottom of the mountain, but the mountain still can't get rid of the shadow of the relatives who have died one after another.

Since learning that her eldest son had broken her blood, Wang Li was depressed all day long, and Wang Jue often saw her swollen eyes when she got up in the morning. Wang Baojin and his wife were also unhappy, one was because of the death of their relatives, and the other was because they couldn't go to the workshop to help because they were filial piety one after another, and they were afraid that the promise given by the saint would not be counted.

Thanks to Ah Lu's joy and rolling all day long, Wang Jue, who is not good at comforting people, can take the opportunity to say a few words of explanation. For example, people cannot be resurrected after death, and those who are alive should face life well. If the Holy Lord dares not to give us the title, I will make him uncomfortable all day long. However, such reassurance seems to be ...... little effect.

Fortunately, since the beginning of the year, the disciples often come over for a turn, and the atmosphere on the mountain is not so depressing.

Looking at Lianshui County again, it was the day to leave home again, and Li found that his family didn't seem to be as reluctant to leave home as he was in previous years. The mother didn't talk with tears, the father didn't keep silent, and the relatives didn't come to the door to bring him food, which is also too strange.

Besides, there has always been a strange noise outside the courtyard since the morning, and now there is the cheering of the villagers, what is the situation, is no one sad about what he is about to do? A curious person like Li couldn't help it, and he planned to go out and take a look. Li Baozhong and Li Liang looked at the back of their son leaving, and couldn't help but smile at each other tacitly.

Li walked out of the courtyard and saw a number of people gathered in the open space outside the courtyard. Getting closer, I found a group of children surrounding Zhou Zhi, and one of the children shouted excitedly: "Brother Zhou's brother is so good, this fruit is really frozen!" ”

Not only the children, but also many clansmen and people with surnames from outside the village also gathered around to cheer. Even those elders who are usually old and dignified are so excited that their faces turn red, and they either stroke their beards and praise or applaud. This made the gossip master Li anxious, he ran to Zhou Zhi's side, and looked at the middle of the crowd.

I saw that in the center of the crowd was a large bucket that used to transport seafood, and in the big bucket there was a bucket smaller than it, and the middle of the two buckets was filled with water, and the bucket inside was full of ice. When Li saw this abnormal situation, he first thought of his teacher, so he looked at Zhou Zhi suspiciously and waited for an explanation.

Zhou Zhi first looked at everyone, and then said: "I didn't think of this method, this is all ordered by our lady." The lady said that Lianshui County is near the sea, and after getting this ice-making method, you can not only sell ice in summer, but also transport seafood to various places regardless of season. ”

Li slapped his head, and he remembered that he had heard the teacher say about it. That year, they returned to Chang'an from Dengzhou, and because it was winter, the ice cubes for the chilled seafood were prepared by the local people. Hearing that the senior brother lamented that the sea was not easy to transport, the teacher also patted his head like him at that time, and then someone sent a letter to Liu Fuyin, saying that it was a way to sue the other party for making ice.

At that time, his mind was full of the plot of the new book, and he thought that their family did not have the same financial and manpower as Liu Fuyin, so it was better to wait for himself to save some money and then ask the teacher for the ice method. However, it seems that the actual situation is not what he thought, and it seems that making ice is not so difficult.

When Zhou Zhi saw Li's annoyed expression, he knew what he was thinking. Without waiting for him to ask, Zhou Zhi took the initiative to say: "The ice-making method is also simple, as long as you operate like me, and then put saltpeter into a small bucket filled with water." Although the method is simple, it also has its difficulties, the amount of saltpeter that can be bought on the market is too small, the lady finds a mine with a high production of saltpeter, and only after continuing to mine will inform your villagers about it. ”

"I'm coming with you, how come I didn't know about this?!" Li was very unhappy, why didn't the teacher sue him in advance for such a good thing. If he knew that there was such a thing, he wouldn't have seized the opportunity to show off and make a name for himself!

It was not Zhou Zhi who answered, but Li Liang, who came out of the house to see his son's lively life, "Uncle Wang sent me a letter, she said that you are too verbose about everything, if you know about this, you will have to delay a day before you can leave home." ”

Li Baozhong, who came later, answered: "This time, many clansmen and villagers will set off with you, and Wang Xianbo has mined a lot of saltpeter, just waiting for us to go over and pull it back together." Wang Xianbo said that she had already said hello to Dengzhou, because our Lianshui County is closer to Chang'an, and the seafood business around Chang'an will be ours in the future. ”

Hearing this, the villagers were all excited to say words of gratitude. They say that this place in Lianshui County is not good, and the farmers all rely on planting for a living, and the grain output is not as good as that of other places, and the income is naturally less. However, if it is in time for a disaster year, because there are seafood to eat near the sea, and there will be no tragic situation of selling children and daughters, it will be a place where people will not die of hunger and there will be no great wealth to take. It's good now, with the seafood traders, everyone can live a better life.

The county magistrate of Lianshui County, who had been silent beside him, said: "Thank you Wang County for your help to Lianshui County, if I can't leave my post without permission, I want to go to Chang'an to thank you." This is a thank you letter I wrote, and I will ask Lang Jun to pass it on my behalf. ”

Li took the letter and carefully put it away, saying that he didn't dare to do so. He has a clear heart, and a county order is so polite to him, it all depends on the face of the senior brother and the teacher. Look at him like this, he obviously wants to go through the teacher's way, and secretly says that he always causes trouble for the teacher.

The patriarch of the Li clan said: "These boys are about to go to the beach with the Wang family, it's too chaotic outside, let's go back to the house and talk." ”

Back in the hall, Li sat next to him and listened to the chatter of the crowd, only to realize that he was the only one who didn't know anything. There is a debtor who is wronged, and he is afraid that Li will settle the account on himself, Zhou Zhi hurriedly whispered in his ear: "It was Zhou Qi and Wu Zhao who asked me to do this, Lang Jun, don't blame me, originally the lady meant to tell you about it on the way." ”

Senior Sister Zhou's martial arts value is too strong, and Senior Sister Wuzhao is too young, Li is depressed to find that even if he is teased, he can only admit bad luck. Fortunately, it didn't make him depressed for long, and soon there was good news to divert his attention.

The patriarch of the Li clan sighed: "Uncle Wang is really good to his disciples, I think it is because he often thinks about us, so he came up with this method of killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Kill two birds with one stone?" Lee asked in confusion.

Li Liang smiled and said: "You stupid boy, we don't have to go to Chang'an often to do this seafood trade, and your father and I can follow the team to see you when the farm is free." ”

Caring about the large number of people, Li was so moved that he wiped his tears, "The teacher helped me not only these, but also the eldest grandson Shangshuken helped me promote my works. There's more, it's just... I can't tell you that. ”

You can't tell us what else you mentioned, and the crowd glared at it. Li Baozhong was also angry when he saw his son's bear appearance, he snorted and said: "I think Uncle Wang Xian is talking about the days less, if you know about saltpeter, you will have to cry in Nanshan for at least two days before you can set off." ”

"When I was pregnant, the midwife in the village said that she was a girl. Look at my son's temperament, isn't it as delicate as our daughter's family. Li Liang actually wants to help his son speak, and he really doesn't want to add fuel and vinegar to .......

The patriarch of the Li clan turned slightly red, looked at the county lord next to him who looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, and hurriedly opened his mouth to change the topic. Li was relieved to hear that they no longer talked about himself, and then fled under the pretext of preparing his luggage.

The Li family's parents have always wanted to thank Wang Jue in person, but they were afraid that it would be too abrupt to come to the door suddenly. Considering that Wang Jue is keeping filial piety, the old couple plans to wait for her to visit after her filial piety. Knowing that his father and mother would go to see him, and a large number of clansmen and villagers returned to Chang'an with him, Li had a lot less trouble than usual on this trip.

The team that went back with him this time was even larger than last time, on the one hand, a large number of people were needed to transport saltpeter back, and on the other hand, Wang Jue asked Zhou Zhi to convey that he would bring more seafood back to the saint and the ministers. Li is used to thinking quickly, he understands the teacher's intention after a little thought, isn't this going to open a literary club after the year, it is estimated that the teacher will hit those people again.

Since Lianshui County is not too far from Chang'an, the group arrived in a hurry with a large number of sea objects for more than a month. Although there are friends who have been to Chang'an, it is still shocking to the hearts of fellow villagers to really see Li's popularity in Chang'an. Those people who rushed forward to say hello, and the aunts and matchmakers who did not shy away from coming to joke, still brushed their three views fiercely.

Seeing that Li brought so many people back, Wang Jue was very happy. The visitor originally considered that it was not good to disturb people with filial piety, but these people insisted that she was persuaded to stay. After leaving the guests, Wang Jue hurriedly went up the mountain to find Wang Li and Wang Liu. Because of the experience last time, a little more crowd might be able to divert their attention.

After handing over the guests to the two female elders in the family, Wang Jue took Li to the construction site of the Literature Club near Suiyuan to check the progress. Seeing that a large courtyard was about to be built, Li asked excitedly, "Teacher, will all this place be under my control in the future?" ”

Wang Jue patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not only is it under your control, this piece of land is given to you as a teacher." Recently, scholars have come back to study, and I told them about the Literature Club a few days ago, and many of them are very interested. When the yard is built, you can study it carefully and formulate a recruitment standard, and this literary club will be able to operate. ”

With tears in his eyes, Li looked excitedly at Wang Jue and the courtyard behind her, fantasizing that Tong Guò's own efforts would break out of the world with the pen stick. When Wang Jue saw Li like this, he suddenly thought that he had just read Li Liang's reply letter brought back by Zhou Zhi.

The letter told an interesting story about Lee's childhood. Once, when Li was busy with farming, he cried and made a mess, and the adults couldn't coax him, so he stood there and cried all day. Since then, Li has gained a nickname that everyone knows for ten miles and eight towns - crying Jing.

Wang Jue didn't believe it at first, but now he really believes it. She stood in place for half an hour, watching Li go from holding tears to wiping tears with her sleeves and then to getting her sleeves wet, and she felt that crying was definitely not just a casual talk. Wang Jue thought evilly, if she didn't come over to comfort her, she didn't know how long her disciple could cry .......
