Chapter 40: Personally Asked

"Han Shan, I've changed my mind."

After returning to his palace, Li Yuanjia immediately called the housekeeper over: "Immediately let people set up another workshop in Zhuangzi outside the city, a bigger one!" Also, tell the blacksmiths in the house to make me all the things that make that set of distilled spirits, and at least twenty sets for me before winter! ”

Twenty sets?

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Han Shan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Wang, are you ...... Are you planning to build a sake brewery? ”

"Yes, the brewery!"

Nodding, Li Yuanjia didn't say much.

Because he found that there was no point in explaining to Han Shan's people, because what they could understand was actually understood a long time ago, and what they didn't understand couldn't be understood no matter what you said.

"King, isn't twenty sets too much? If that happens, it will require a lot of iron, and it will cost a lot of food in the future, which is probably ......

"So, do you want to straighten Han Lucheng?"

While listening to Han Shan's anxious words there, Li Yuanjia turned a deaf ear, and his thoughts had already flown to Han Lucheng, who was younger and had a more flexible brain. Although he admires Li Zhong and Ma Liang more for the students he taught, in essence, those are actually half-finished products...... No, not even a semi-finished product!

To be precise, Li Zhong's people are just half-finished products in desperation.

I knew more than 1,000 words, learned the use of simple Arabic numerals, and then followed some veterans to participate in the transformation of the sewer system in Luzhou City, and also intermittently learned some advanced concepts from Li Yuanjia, which is the ability of Li Zhong and others.

In addition, after arriving in Chang'an City, they were promoted to the supervisors of various workshops by Han Wang's line of fire, and after accumulating a lot of experience under the guidance and help of Wang Pu, it may be enough for them to become leaders in a certain field in this era, but at most, they are only in charge of a small workshop, and it is still far from expecting them to really become Li Yuanjia's right-hand men!

In comparison, Han Lucheng's advantage is really too great!

On the one hand, he is still young and can accept many of Li Yuanjia's ideas, on the other hand, he is also the eldest son of Han Shan, and he has been trained as a successor since he was a child, so it can be said that he is the most suitable housekeeper in this era......

"Alas!"

After thinking about it, Li Yuanjia could only sigh, and helplessly pondered another plan: "It seems that the saying of educating people for ten years is really true, and one or two years is meaningless at all!" Next, I'm afraid I can only be patient and slowly cultivate a group of people......"

Li Yuanjia was thinking about his own affairs, but he didn't notice that his sigh startled Han Shan, and he immediately closed his mouth.

"Goo-dong!"

Swallowing hard, Han Shan panicked.

In fact, he had already discovered that since the king returned to Chang'an, he had paid less and less attention to him. In other words, because of the existence of Li Zhong, Wang Pu and others, Han Shan's authority in the palace has been dealt a heavy blow - many times Li Yuanjia's orders will not pass through him, the housekeeper, but directly call Wang Pu, Li Zhong and others to give orders in person.

And......

In the past year or so, the king has been looking for his eldest son more and more often.

Although every time he got an order from the king, Han Lucheng would tell him Lao Tzu when he went home, but once or twice was okay, when the number of times gradually increased, and now it even surpassed Han Shan's own trend, can Han Shan not panic?

I'm so panicked that I can run away, okay?!

Li Yuanjia's sigh just now scared Han Shan!

He knew that his verbosity made the king dissatisfied, but he really couldn't help it if he didn't say anything. After all, both Yuwen Zhaoyi and Yuwen Shihe had told him a thousand times that he must watch Li Yuanjia and live a lifetime. But now the king has not only returned to Chang'an City, but also the workshop is being built more and more, and the more and more it is built, how can he be down-to-earth in his heart?

The more money you make, the more popular it becomes?

To be honest, Han Shan was a little puzzled, he didn't understand that the king was obviously good a few years ago, and he had been walking along the path arranged by the elders, even if he made some woks and stir-fried vegetables, tables and chairs or something, it was all harmless. But from the beginning of Quyuan Plough, the name of King Han became louder, which made him a little worried.

Now it is a blank sheet of paper and wine, and a large area of land used to grow tea trees has been purchased in the south......

"Han Shan, that's it!"

Just when the housekeeper was apprehensive, Li Yuanjia had already sobered up from his contemplation, waved his hand and said, "Anyway, put the workshop as soon as possible...... Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter, immediately send someone to call Zhang Wan over to me, and I will directly order him...... Alright, you go down first! ”

“…… Yes, King. ”

opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing the absent-minded look of the king, Han Shan could only walk out depressed.

He was a hesitant kung fu, so he let Zhang Wan replace him.

Zhang Wan was originally in charge of all the construction affairs of the palace, in fact, it was natural for the king to come to him directly, but it was just ...... After going out, Han Shan looked up at the clear sky with a blank face, and sighed in his heart: "How long can I, the housekeeper of the Han Palace, be able to do it?" ”

The loss and departure of the housekeeper did not attract Li Yuanjia's attention, and he is now focused on cultivating the talents he wants, and he has always been thinking hard. Therefore, Ma Liang, the "principal of Hanwangfu Primary School" who hurried to the study after following the order, was also apprehensive when he saw him like this, so he had to stand respectfully and quietly wait for the king's question.

After a long time, Li Yuanjia asked, "Ma Liang, how many people are you teaching now?" How old are they? ”

"If you go back to the king, there will be a total of sixteen people!"

Taking a deep breath, Ma Liang hurriedly replied: "Among them, there are a total of seven people over the age of thirteen, seven people between the ages of ten and thirteen, and two people under the age of ten. ”

After listening to Ma Liang's answer, Li Yuanjia suddenly frowned: "Huh? Why are there so few people under the age of ten? ”

"This ......"

was stunned for a moment, and seeing that the king's face was unswerving, Ma Liang hurriedly explained: "Back to the king, if you are less than ten years old, you will be small and weak, and you can only eat idle meals when you enter the mansion." And if you're too young, you'll be slow to learn......"

"!"

"Huh? The King forgives the sins! ”

Hearing Li Yuanjia's angry reprimand, Ma Liangxin was shocked and quickly knelt down.

"Alright, get up."

Shaking his head, Li Yuanjia said helplessly: "Small and weak? Could it be that there are still a few less working servants in our palace? As for the nonsense of learning slowly, children...... Alas, forget it, you order it as soon as possible, and select eight little ones under the age of ten to be sent to the palace, and the king will personally inquire about it in the future......"
