After finishing talking about the distillery, Li Yao asked again: "How is the oil factory now, and how much oil can be produced every year?" ”

Wang Changzhu said: "The oil factory can produce 100,000 catties of oil every year, but the oil is supplied to the army, and there is no takeaway!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said: "Don't sell this thing out of the oil first, otherwise if we have too many good goods here, it is not a good thing, there is such a thing as Hou Ye wine to generate income for us, others will be very red-eyed, if there is cooking oil, it is estimated that we will be in danger!" ”

Wang Changzhu agreed: "What Hou Ye said is reasonable! ”

Li Yao plans to leave for the national capital tomorrow, although the local princes are not allowed to return to the national capital without being summoned, but Li Yao can use the reason of the New Year's visit to the national capital!

Li Yao said to Wang Changzhu: "Changzhu, you go and prepare a gift, tomorrow I will return to China to meet my father!" ”

Wang Changzhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll prepare immediately!" ”

"Well, then you go, I'll take the guards to the distillery and the oil factory!"

Wang Changzhu took the order to go, the winery and the oil factory are in the Gobi Desert, Li Yao and the guards rode horses for a long time to come to the two factories, after visiting the two factories, Li Yao felt that they were not bad, the reason why Li Yao did not let Wang Changzhu accompany him, it was not that he did not trust Wang Changzhu, and he would cheat when Li Yao visited, but if Wang Changzhu accompanied him, the workers below would definitely be more respectful, the defending generals of the winery and the oil factory all knew Li Yao, but the workers did not know, So Li Yao can see what the most real oil mills and distilleries are like in the past!

After visiting the two factories, Li Yao reflexively went to the county seat to participate in the reception banquet prepared by the county order, Li Yao came to the restaurant, and saw the county order looking forward to it, and the county order saw Li Yao riding a horse over, and hurriedly greeted him, and when Li Yao got off the horse, the county order said: "Master Hou, you are here!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "What? Am I late? ”

The county commander shook his head, "How come, whoever is late, you won't be late!" ”

Li Yao asked, "How are things prepared in the academy?" ”

The county magistrate said: "I have already arranged this matter, and it won't be long before the academy can be put into use!" ”

Li Yao suddenly said: "County order, I am going to go to the national capital tomorrow, and you have to take care of the county seat for me, and the New Year will be celebrated soon, so that the people can have a good New Year!" ”

Song Boming exclaimed: "Master Hou, are you going to the national capital?" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Yes, I have to go to the national capital, otherwise I will be under a lot of pressure when I wait for the spring of next year!" ”

Song Boming whispered: "Master Hou, the national capital is not a good place now, the contradiction between the eldest prince and the second prince is escalating more and more, King Qi has no intention of taking care of it, and there are more and more rights and wrongs in the national capital!" ”

Li Yao could see that the county commander was worried about himself, so he said: "County order, you can rest assured, now that I have become a marquis, how can it not be my turn to sit in the position of King Qi, so the eldest brother and the second brother will not do anything to me for the time being, and I am a prince under my father, the greater my military strength, the happier he should be, after all, if there is a trouble in Qi Kingdom, if he asks me to go to war, I must lead the army forward, so now I am in difficulty, and he will help me with reason!" ”

After listening to Li Yao's words, the county commander nodded and said: "What Hou Ye said is reasonable, but the situation is not very good now, you have to be more careful, you are the backbone of our Yi County, if something happens to you, then we will be finished!" ”

Li Yao patted the county commander's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll bring a regiment of guards over, don't worry about safety!" ”

While speaking, Li Yao and the county magistrate came to the box, and seeing that the box was empty, Li Yao frowned and said, "Why hasn't anyone come yet?" ”

The county magistrate said respectfully on the side: "It's my fault, because the academy is about to be established, so I just sent these people out to call those teaching gentlemen!" ”

Li Yao said with relief: "Oh, it's okay, let's take a seat first and wait for them!" ”

As he spoke, people came one after another, and after a while, the seats were full!

Li Yao saw that the people were almost here, raised his glass and said, "Thank you for coming to pick me up, I'll do it first!" ”

When those people saw Li Yao drinking so happily, they praised one after another: "Master Hou is so drunk!" ”

Li Yao wiped the wine stains from his mouth and asked, "I heard that there are many teachers from the Future Academy here, where are they all?" ”

Some Confucian scholars sitting at the other table heard Li Yao's question, and they all stood up and bowed down and said, "I've seen Master Hou!" ”

Seeing that the mental outlook of these scholars is not bad, Li Yao said with a smile: "Education is the foundation of a country, as a teacher, you must work hard to cultivate the next generation of outstanding talents for the country!" ”

Those scholars arched their hands one after another: "We have saved it!" ”

Li Yao raised his glass and said, "This cup is for the sake of the academy, I hope that the existence of you scholars in the academy will grow stronger and stronger!" ”

Those scholars born in a poor family have not been reused, and seeing that Li Yao attaches so much importance to them, they have expressed their loyalty, and they are willing to serve the Hou Ye as a dog and horse!

The concept of the scholar's family has always been very deep in this dynasty, and the literati born in the poor family will be poor and miserable unless they can get the fame and glory of their ancestors, and they will not be valued by the powerful!

Now Li Yao disregards the concept of the family and recruits poor scholars, which makes these poor literati see hope, so there are many literati who have invested in Li Yao's disciples!

Li Yao said to the county order: "County order, when I go to Yiguo in the spring of next year, you see if anyone wants to go to Yiguo with me to develop, go back and make a statistic and report it to me!" ”

Because Yi County is Li Yao's base, Li Yao has always attached great importance to Yi County, and because Yi County is Li Yao's fiefdom, it is easier for those literati to get closer to Li Yao, unlike in Yiguo, because Li Yao is an invader, so Li Yao has not been able to recruit particularly talented people, which makes Li Yao a headache!

Li Yao has not laid down many counties now, and it is not very difficult to manage, but if there is no good prime minister after the unification of Yiguo, then Li Yao will really not be able to control it, so this time I went to the national capital, one is to visit my father, so that my father can support him, and the other is to visit my father-in-law, as the first prime minister of Qi country, there must be a lot of talents under my father-in-law, let him recommend it to himself when the time comes!

The reception banquet was eaten until midnight, the guests and hosts were happy, and they dispersed, Li Yao returned to China this time because he was going to visit his father-in-law, so he had to bring Yu Linlin with him, and he would be regarded as returning to the door!

I believe that with Yu Linlin on the side, even if I don't want to bleed, I can't do it!

Back to the Hou Mansion, Li Yao went to Qizhi's room first, and told Qizhi that I would go to the national capital first, Qizhi readily agreed, Qizhi is very empathetic character, which made Li Yao like it very much, out of Qizhi's door, Li Yao went to Yu Linlin's room, after all, when he went to the national capital to ask his father-in-law for talents, he still had to rely on Yu Linlin, so he couldn't be too cold to Yu Linlin now!
