The people who had a false alarm came to Hanyun's room the next day, and witnessed that it was really cardamom and musk in the other purse, and then they knew that they had really made an oolong. Chengdu apologized to Dalgan in front of everyone, and Dalgan happily hugged each other with Chengdu, waiting for Sun Simiao to treat Hanyun.

Hanyun loves Chengdu even more in her heart, such a man can appear in her life, she feels that this is a gift from the god of the grassland, so she decided that she will not miss it easily.

The haze in the Taishou Mansion was swept away, and Chengdu invited a few people to have a good drink, and everyone got acquainted with each other in a few days, and everything returned to calm.

The orphans from Jinyang were divided into two groups, men and women, and started a new life with Wuwu and the eldest grandson Wuji respectively.

Worry-free brought all the girls to the Qinxiang Pavilion, and a few of them slowly taught them to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a few talented people also deliberately picked them out, and Worry-free began to teach them to use Arabic numerals to keep accounts, and every day was full and interesting, and Princess Jinyun was also idle, and she was here every day, and these children could get along well, which surprised Empress Xiao.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng selected the boys again, some of them were relatively healthy, and they were all sent to the barracks to exercise, and the rest followed Wei Zheng to study more than a dozen, and the rest followed the eldest grandson Wuji and began to busy back and forth between the academy construction site and various shops.

Most of them got used to it in a few days, and Wei Zheng and Eldest Sun Wuji were relatively relaxed. Among these children, a few of them were more prominent, and Wei Zheng wrote them down and told Li Xiang, Li Xiang also wanted to meet them, and it happened that Yang Guang's car had been done, so he sent someone to Jinyang today, and he went out of the house together to the academy construction site to have a look.

The newly built academy is on the edge of the southern city, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, because there is no crop land suitable for cultivation here, and the government did not spend much money to buy it from the people, and the reason why Li Xiang likes it is that this land is adjacent to a tributary of the Yellow River, and there will be a laboratory in the academy in the future, which is quite convenient to take water on the spot.

When he arrived at the construction site, Li Xiang was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be so many people working, looking around, there were crowds of people everywhere, and asked the eldest grandson Wuji, there were about 300 people, all of whom were people from the countryside around Longmen, because the land at home was small, and the food left after paying taxes was not enough for the family to eat.

Li Xiang was very happy to see that everyone was working very hard, and he was very happy in his heart, if he continued like this, he didn't have to wait until the autumn for the academy to officially open. He went to the workers and chatted with them, asking them if they were used to it, what was going on at home, and the people were afraid to speak.

Li Xiang asked them again if their wages were paid on time and whether they could eat enough every day, and when they heard the affirmative answer, Li Xiang was quite satisfied with the work of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Xiang originally wanted to build the academy into several three- or four-story buildings, but unfortunately he didn't have time to study the cement, so he still built a wooden house. However, Li Xiang thought that in a few years, the world would be in chaos, anyway, the academy was just a transitional stage now, and a real high-rise building would be built in the future.

After reading the academy, he went to see the reform of various shops, but he did a good job, now Li Xiang was relieved, he was really afraid that people would not be able to accept these new things at once, and eventually make it like a toddler in Handan, which would outweigh the losses. Fortunately, Wei Zheng and Eldest Sun Wuji both understood what he said thoroughly, but let him know that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

During the inspection, Li Xiang noticed two children, one named Lu Xiangtai and the other Gao Yu. Both of them came to the north with the army when Yang Guang conquered the state of Chen, and their hometowns were in Wu CountyNote 1.

The two of them didn't know each other at first, but they both spoke with local accents and became best friends. Li Xiang saw them in a newly opened carpentry shop, and it was Wei Zheng who arranged for the two of them to help sell furniture here.

When Li Xiang came over, they were introducing a customer, and the person was just coming to see it, but they didn't expect the two of them to introduce it for a while, not only sold a set of relatively high-end bookcases, but also ordered a few better wardrobes with the person.

After the customer paid and left, the two saw many people behind them looking at them. Gao Yu was a little recognized, except for the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng, no one else had seen it, and he didn't dare to speak at once. Lu Xiangtai was bold, and directly asked Li Xiang if he also came to buy furniture.

Li Xiang smiled and said no, Lu Xiangtai was not discouraged, and directly pulled Li Xiang to let him go inside to have a look, maybe there was something good to like. Li Xiang also wanted to see how these two people served, so he nodded and followed Lu Xiangtai towards the interior, and Gao Yu also followed.

A large area of the backyard is a place where carpenters work, and the two of them took Li Xiang towards a small warehouse, only to find that this is not a warehouse for furniture, but a warehouse for some small wooden toys.

Lu Xiangtai showed Li Xiang how to play with several toys, and finally asked Li Xiang to try it himself, and even said that as long as Li Xiang bought one and went back to his children to see it, if he could bring others to buy it, he would give Li Xiang as many kickbacks.

Li Xiang was only interested in these two people at first, because they were smart, but now he was surprised, and the two children's thoughts were quite clear. First of all, Li Xiang's age is a child, so they took him to see toys, and then showed him a demonstration, which is a kind of stimulating consumption, and finally even knew that rebate sales, this is in ancient times, these two children are simply business geniuses.

Li Xiang was excited, turned around and said to Wei Zheng: "These two people should teach literacy well, and in the future, they will be sent to the county government for two hours a day, and I will personally teach them to do business." ”

Wei Zheng smiled and told Li Xiang's identity to the two of them, and both of them couldn't believe it, how could that Master Li in their hearts be a child. But that's the case, after the shock, they still gave Li Xiang a gift, Li Xiang was very happy, and asked them directly how they sold the furniture just now.

Gao Yu said: "At first, the man came to see the furniture, and he was just looking at the bookcase, so we kept introducing the bookcase, judging from his dress and speech, it was the rich family, so he didn't care about money, so I decided to show him the best." ”

Lu Xiangtai continued: "After seeing a lot, he was not satisfied, so I asked him what he wanted, we can customize it here, and he couldn't say, so I pulled him to see the whole set of furniture, because a single piece of furniture can't show style, so after reading that set, he decided to buy it." ”

Li Xiang smiled: "Then how did you set up those wardrobes later?" ”

"I told him that as long as he bought this set, and then bought the others, we could count him less than 20%, but we had to buy more than three." Gao Yu said.

Lu Xiangtai added: "Judging by his appearance, there should be wives and concubines at home, so I told him that it is the most cost-effective to buy a wardrobe, and it can add a few decent pieces of furniture to the house, and it can also make the women in the family stained, so he decided on it." ”

Li Xiang had thoroughly admired the minds of the two, and said with a smile: "Are you two literate?" ”

Both nodded, Lu Xiangtai said that his family was originally a wealthy family of the Chen Dynasty, and he had also done business, and Gao Yu said that there were still people in his family who were officials in the Chen Dynasty.

Only then did Li Xiang know why they were so powerful, and thought that these two people should be cultivated well, and they would definitely shine in business in the future.

After saying goodbye to the two, Li Xiang also went to Qinxiang Pavilion, and since he talked about the shares that day, Qinxiang Pavilion has returned to its original appearance. And everyone was busy teaching those girls to study, Li Xiang didn't bother much, just glanced at it from a distance, and found that the children were very serious, relieved themselves, and took Wei Zheng and the eldest grandson Wuji back to the house.

King Yue's birthday was approaching, and Li Xiang had to make a gift, so he locked himself in the house again, racking his brains to do something.

Jinyang under the same moonlight, Yang Guang has not slept well for several days, one is that he is going to go to the outside of the palace to inspect the matter After standing in the court and saying it, the ministers insisted on their own words, and the quarrel made him upset.

The other is the intensification of rebellions in various places, especially the two rebels of Huainan Du Fuwei and Li Zitong Note 2. As early as the ninth year of the Great Cause, Du Fuwei and his friend Fu Gong Qizhu 3 rebelled in the Changbai Mountains, and later moved to the Huainan area.

In the past two years, they have continued to increase their strength, annexing and co-opting the surrounding peasant army. Just last month, they successfully used a deception to recruit one of the most influential teams in Huainan, Hailing Zhao broke the formation, and his strength increased greatly, after which Du Fuwei proclaimed himself a general, crisscrossing Huainan, and the officers and soldiers in the surrounding areas were terrified.

Li Zitong is also the leader of a peasant army who grew up in the Changbai Mountains, from the first dozens of people, to tens of thousands in two years, storming the government, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and is deeply loved by the people.

A few days ago, Yang Guang received an urgent report from Jiangnan, saying that Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's two teams intended to take advantage of Yang Guang's absence in Jiangdu to lead the army to attack Jiangdu. Yang Guang was taken aback.

Jiangdu is Yang Guang's base in the south, and it is the three major capitals along with Daxing Luoyang, if it is really captured by the rebels, then how can his Yang Guang's country be complete, not to mention that the impact is extinct.

So Yang Guang issued a holy decree and urgently dispatched the king of the mountain, Yang Lin, to lead 50,000 troops to Jiangdu to suppress the bandits, and be sure to capture the two thieves.

Things all came together, and Yang Guang began to lose sleep.

Wu Jun Note 1: That is, Suzhou, to the fourth year of Tang Wude, changed to Suzhou.

Li Zitong Note 2: A native of Yichengdong, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, Donghai County, and a famous leader of the peasant rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Wude, he was defeated by the Tang army and killed the following year.

Fugong Yizhu 3: A native of the northwest of Dongzhangqiu, Jiyang, Shandong Province, Linji County, Qi County, and the leader of the peasant rebel army in the Jiangnan region in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. Together with Du Fuwei, he led the Jianghuai peasant rebel army to the north and south, striking a blow at the Sui and Tang dynasties. After Du Fuwei surrendered, he persisted in the struggle, founded the country and became the emperor, and finally died in defeat.

Changbai Mountain Note 4: The Changbai Mountain here refers to the Luzhong Mountain in Shandong, at the northern foot of Yimeng Mountain, hundreds of miles from east to west.
