0201 Benevolence and self-discipline, great things can be accomplished
This kind of thing is not a short-term job, and Li Tong's ideas also need to be supplemented, so in the next few days, he just asked Tian Dasheng to go out to inquire about some ways to buy old clothes, and by the way, he learned some knowledge in the palace.
Having said that, although there are a lot of assistants in Li Tong's palace, there are still a few eunuchs who can really read and hyphenate and entrust secret affairs. Of course, it is not without a truly literate adjutant, but after all, there is still a layer of separation, and it is not as humble as a eunuch.
A courtyard was separated from the backyard of the palace, which was used as a school house, and Su Yansi, the head of the school, taught some words and mathematics and science. The textbook is written by Li Tong himself, which is basically at the primary school level, commonly used words and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and of course, several methods of chart recording are indispensable.
Charts may not save the country, but they can make things more concise and efficient. Anyway, Li Tong couldn't stand the way the Tang people's accounts were recorded, so the records of the palace account books were changed to charts a long time ago.
At present, there are only a few people in the house who are studying in the house, such as Tian Dasheng and his son, Feng Changsi. In the coming year, after the renovation of the storage base in Gande Township is completed, Li Tong plans to move this primary school to the headquarters of the Old Clothes Society, adopt orphans of homeless people, and expand the scale of development.
The renovation of the West Garden has also begun, and a supervisor of the Imperial Court Camp Supervisor is in command, and the craftsmen under Hegong County are used. Because it is not built within the ritual regulations, all materials need to be prepared by the government.
Li Tong simply handed over the ministry of purchasing materials to Yang Juren, who was the official of the River and Canal Administration, and he had to deal with the businessmen of the two cities frequently, and his professional counterpart also tested how unclean this guy's hands and feet were.
Even if he is greedy, it is also the money of his aunt Princess Taiping, if that guy is really bold and does too much, he will definitely not let others handle the money and food of the palace in the future.
At the same time, Li Tong also summoned Su You of Xiushanfang into the mansion and let him contact the Chinese scholars of the mansion, and while preparing for the system, he was responsible for contacting the forbidden Xu clan. Xu is currently serving as a female official in the forbidden garden, responsible for the planting of flowers and trees in the palace, and it is just right to get some excellent seedlings and good seeds from the forbidden to enrich his homeland.
Princess Taiping often came and went during this time, in addition to visiting her son, of course, she still discussed her marriage ceremony with Li Tong.
"San Lang is indeed a good plan, if it weren't for your guidance, I will inevitably be fooled by the martial arts people this time and lose face!"
Speaking of this, Princess Taiping's face was quite resentful, and the etiquette proposed by the Ministry of Rites was to go out in the morning and not bow when dark, the reason why it was contrary to the customs of the times, the argument was that both sides were uncoupled, and they could not be called Jijia, and they should take advantage of the prosperity of the afternoon sun to suppress the yin of mourning and decay.
Not to mention whether this argument is reasonable, maybe the martial arts family thinks that such a swagger can show that they are favored and prosperous, but Princess Taiping has a strong sense of self-esteem, and regards this marriage as a shame, if she still has to travel around the city at noon during the day and swagger through the market, it is simply unbearable!
Now that there is a special discussion on the marriage envoy, Princess Taiping's voice in the wedding has greatly increased, and of course she must return the color after this humiliation.
Since the marriage is special, you can't follow the customs, so you don't have to talk about whether to marry or not, when the princess will enter the ceremony, she is not even ready to go out, and she wants to let Wu Youji come to the door to ask for a ceremony and make a ceremony in the princess's mansion.
In fact, I didn't listen to the princess's complaints, and Li Tong had also heard about the details of this ceremony. Shi Sizhen and Zhang Jiazhen of his mansion are both currently inspecting the ministry of the head of the school's Spring Official Rites Department, helping to ask for scriptures and discuss the ceremony, and how things are going, of course, they must be returned to the government in detail.
"The small sect of the Wu clan is just a relative of the God Emperor. The pearl of the aunt's house, the grace of the fall, her home can not be polite and solemn, but let people laugh at the gentleman's grace and indiscriminately. Ascend to the first to seek good, due righteousness, whether you can get started, it depends on whether he is talented or not! ”
Li Tong was originally restless, but now he is helping his aunt do things, so he is naturally full of enthusiasm. Adding oil and vinegar to encourage Princess Taiping to continue to persevere, and then said: "At that time, the two families will invite their own scholars, and they will respond through the door, if they are unable to join the court, even if they go to the court, they can only sit on the ......."
"San Lang is really, really funny, just do it!"
Princess Taiping was in a bad mood, but when she heard Li Tong's bad idea, she couldn't help but laugh.
The wedding poem should be married, which is also a seasonal gift. If it's just an ordinary wedding, elegance or not is secondary, and the main thing is to engage in an elegant atmosphere.
Li Tong proposed this, of course, not to create an atmosphere, in addition to embarrassing the martial family, but also to let his grandmother take a look, really want to invite prestige and prestige in Shilin, the martial family is not an opponent at all.
Skipping the wedding section, Li Tong proposed another idea to Princess Taiping: "My aunt is sassy, not inferior to a young man, if she is just in the mansion, it is really a pity." Recently, I have occasionally thought about it, and I want to ask my aunt if there is a matter of Yaxing and success? ”
"Speak quickly, speak quickly!"
When Princess Taiping heard this, her face suddenly showed great interest, and she patted Li Tong's arm to urge.
Li Tong's idea had already existed as early as when he was trapped in the inner teaching workshop in the forbidden period, that is, to build a large theater in the Shendu City, not only to give full play to his advantages in copying, but also to engage in the construction of literature and propaganda.
But if this matter is only operated by himself, one is a little reluctant, and the other is also a little taboo. Bringing his aunt in can not only use financial resources, but also dispel his grandmother's vigilance to a certain extent, and also strengthen the cooperative relationship between them.
After listening to Li Tong's idea, Princess Taiping really showed great interest, her eyes shone brightly, and she patted Li Tong on the shoulder and praised: "I just said that San Lang is similar to me, and sure enough, words and thoughts can enter my heart!" This kind of drama and elegance, how can our aunts and nephews be left behind! ”
"Le Hang Zhuang Ya, words are edifying, but they hang high in the temple, and they have long been far away from the world's customs. The construction of the theater is not only to entertain the public, but also to preach and collect style, and in one thing. ”
Li Tong also smiled and said, he was not worried that Princess Taiping would use this to control people and exclude him.
One is that there is no conflict between each other's positions, and the other is that high-end content production is in his hands. Even if his aunt wants to reject him in the future, his own power is growing, and he can start from scratch to fight against Taiwan. It's just that the current model is developing, and he still needs to pull his aunt along.
"I don't know what missionary style is, but as Saburo said, I don't want to settle in the mansion and live idlely. With such a wonderful thing to be busy, you will no longer feel that the day and night are difficult! ”
Princess Taiping stood up as she spoke, and was about to take Li Tong to choose the address.
Aside from anything else, Li Tong really appreciates his aunt's decisiveness in her words and deeds. He didn't have anything else to do at the moment, so he simply followed the fellow Shendu.
After this trip, Li Tong had an intuitive understanding of his aunt's financial resources. The so-called saying that there is no mansion in Luoyang and no master in Chang'an cannot be reflected in his aunt at all.
The pattern of Luoyang city residence is a law of the west and the east. Especially in the square areas on both sides of Dingdingmen Heavenly Street, most of them are rich and powerful, and it is not easy for ordinary people to stand up here, but between these square areas, there are several garden houses under the name of Princess Taiping alone.
Each of them covers a vast area, which is not inferior to Li Tong's Hedong Mansion, and Li Tong is also very eye-catching.
Considering various factors, an orchard located outside the Rakhama Place, near the Luonan Yuepi, was finally chosen as the location of the theater. This orchard covers an area of more than ten hectares, is located in the south of Shangyang Palace, is located on both sides of Luoshui, widely planted peach plum, pear apricot and other fruit trees, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the fruit is abundant, step in it, the fruit is fragrant.
As soon as it was decided to choose this place for the construction of the theater, Princess Taiping instructed the entourage slaves to come tomorrow to cut down the fruit trees and clear the site as soon as possible to start construction.
Seeing those fruit trees that were growing well and fruitful, Li Tong felt distressed at the thought of being cut down, and persuaded them loudly that it was not easy for them to grow, and it was better to let the passers-by around them pick and transplant than to waste this piece of heaven and earth.
Hearing this, Princess Taiping looked at Li Tong with a slightly different look, and after a moment of silence, she sighed: "How arrogant and extravagant is the anointing Liang hakama, willful and arbitrary, and does not love material resources, San Lang is long in this, but he has a benevolent heart and self-control, this is the endowment that can achieve great things!" I am ashamed to be ashamed of my good words, and I will endure it for a few days, and I can't live up to your persuasion. ”
As she spoke, she instructed the slaves to simply uproot the fences around the orchard and keep sentry, and not to say anything about cutting down immediately.
When Li Tong heard his aunt's comment, he couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't explain it again. Before he came to this world, he was not a child of a big family, he couldn't spend money like dirt, his face did not change, and he inevitably hated waste in his bones.
As for how his aunt behaved, he didn't want to comment, after all, he was born in such a family and had such qualifications. However, seeing that Princess Taiping could still listen to a few words of persuasion from him to change her approach, it also made Li Tong have a good impression of her, and she was a good collaborator if she could listen to others.
After a tour, it was not early, and Princess Taiping returned to Shangshanfang's house.
After Li Tong returned to the palace, he summoned Tian Dasheng and asked him to remember to go out of the city tomorrow to organize a group of laborers to go to the Yueyan orchard in Luonan, west of the city, to pick and transplant fruit trees, and continue to make up for his work.
He is not greedy for this little profit, but he might as well be generous to others, so that Tian Dasheng can brush up his presence among the displaced people outside the city, and then promote the old clothes club more smoothly.
After Tian Dasheng was instructed, he announced: "Today, several wealthy businessmen in Nanshi came to pay their respects and offered a lot of goods. I don't know if the king is willing to give a banquet to receive him, but he just left a post to be called. ”
"And that kind of thing?"
Li Tong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and ordered Yang Siqiao to summon the palace staff who stayed in the palace today and asked what was going on. He didn't have any interests or favors with those merchants in the southern city, and he was quite curious about those people who came to the door.
