"Li Langjun asked me to come, not just to eat at the bar?"

Yuan Zhen sat upright on his knees, and every time he drank, he held a cup in his right hand, and then covered his right hand and face with his left sleeve. His movements are not only elegant, but also courteous.

But it is precisely because of the etiquette everywhere that people feel awe-inspiring and inviolable, and at the same time, it is also difficult to get close.

Having a relationship with a sanctimonious person, how awkward it looks.

Li Ang smiled indifferently and said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Yuan, I want to become the township tribute of Xipu County." ”

Li Ang knew very well that Yuan Zhen was not as dignified as he appeared, he not only helped Ma Qingquan participate in Fang Tongliang's salt trade, but in Fang Tongliang's case, he even ate the defendant and the plaintiff, and the two families ate it all.

During the trial of the murder of Fang Tongliang, Yuan Zhen also "taught" Li Ang before he went to court, and how to testify in court.

"Oh? Li Langjun's ambition is commendable, and congratulations! With Li Langjun's talent, it is not difficult to get the title of the gold list in Japan. ”

Yuan Jin's heart moved, but he was wary of Li Ang, not only because Li Ang had made him look away, but also because Li Ang and Gongsun Jingyu were very close, and Gongsun Jin was an important cadre of Li Linfu's faction, that is, one of the prince's sworn enemies.

For such a person, Yuan Guan is naturally very cautious.

"Cheng Yuan said that the title of the gold list is everyone's dream. However, for Zaixia, it may not be easy to ask for the qualification of a township tribute at the moment. ”

"With Li Langjun's talent, if you take the county exam, why is it difficult to pass?"

Although Yuan Jin's words were polite, they were a business-like attitude. Li Ang knew that the two sides still needed a process of mutual testing, and there would definitely be no results in the first round, and if they were too hasty, it would only backfire.

"Mr. Yuan. Please! Li Ang invited to drink again, and at the same time changed the topic and drank and chatted with Yuan Jin.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two sides chatted harmoniously, and Yuan Zhen treated him in a short period of time. I am very interested in changing the face of the entire Huojing County, and I will never leave here.

"Now the entire Huojing County has benefited from Li Langjun. Li Langjun's talent is sure to be impressive. ”

"Mr. Yuan has won the prize!" Li Ang was neither humble nor arrogant, and smiled indifferently.

"Li Langjun became a naturalized Xipu person, he is a Xipu person, didn't Li Langjun think about doing something for Sangzi? How to govern Xipu and benefit Sangzi, presumably Li Langjun must also have high opinions. Yuan Mou sincerely sought advice. When Yuan Zhen said this, he hugged the circle and bowed.

Because he was sitting on his knees, there was not much difference between prostrations and prostrations. However, this is only a kind of ancient sitting ceremony, and it has nothing to do with groveling.

"How to control the fire well, presumably Ma Mingfu has its own bamboo in the chest, and the grass people in the next place, how dare they talk nonsense?" Leon said politely. Yuan Zhen wants to help Ma Qingquan make political achievements, which is reasonable. Leon realized that this might be a quid pro quo.

But let's be honest. How could he make Xipu quickly change his current appearance, Li Ang really didn't think about it seriously. Xipu is different from Huojing, Huojing has the benefit of salt industry, and it is based on the use of Wushuang salt as a pillar to quickly bring prosperity to Huojing, what does Xipu have?

"Li Langjun is too humble. Yuan sincerely asked for advice, and hoped that Li Langjun would not refuse. ”

"Mr. Yuan is so courteous and virtuous, and I am very grateful. In my opinion, every state and county, just find out what its characteristics are. It's not difficult to govern well. But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Yuan, I haven't thought about the matter of Xipu seriously, and it's hard to say anything for a while. ”

At dusk, Li Ang left the county seat and returned to Shangxi Village. This time I contacted Yuan Jin, although I didn't reach any deals, but at least I knew what both sides needed, which had the basis for results.

Along the way, Leon began to think about what could be done to make Xipu develop rapidly. It's a technical job, and it's really hard to do.

As soon as Li Ang returned home, he saw Gao Li and Old Man Hua discussing the establishment of a private school.

Now, this is the top priority of Shangxi Village, and after the news spread, Huang Siniang took the initiative to donate an acre of land at the edge of the village for the construction of a school building. It's just that even so, the fifty taels of money donated by Leon are still not enough.

Gao Li was pulling Li Ang to the table and sighed: "Virtuous nephew, you came back just in time, Lao Yu and Hua Langzhong have just summed up, and it will cost twenty yuan to repair this school building; In addition, there are eighty-two children in our village, and if they are all enrolled, at least two gentlemen must be hired, and it will cost three taels a month;

In addition, the cost of buying books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone is even greater, and the fifty taels donated by the virtuous nephew are not enough, so we have to find another way. ”

Li Ang himself was also reading, during this time books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone bought a lot, compared to other items, books in this era are indeed very expensive, which is also the main reason why most people can't afford to read.

There is no pen, which can be replaced by a branch, and without paper, it is possible to write on the sand. But what do you read without books?

"Gao Lizheng, there are literate people in the village, let's buy a set of books used in private schools, and let literate people copy books, so that it can cost less."

"Virtuous nephew, these eighty-two sets of books have to be copied to what year and month, ask someone to copy the book, you have to pay for labor, once calculated, it costs a lot to ask someone to copy the book."

Li Ang rubbed his face with his hands and turned around in the courtyard, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and couldn't help but high-five and said, "Copy the book slowly, why don't we print it ourselves?" ”

"Ahem!" Gao Li coughed a few times, and then looked at the old man Hua, his eyes seemed to say, hurry up and give your family a cut pulse, it looks like it is not lightly burned, and it is all nonsense.

Old man Hua felt that his face was gloomy, and scolded: "Stinky boy, Gao Li is talking to you about business, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

"Gao Lizheng, Hua Lao, the younger generation is not talking nonsense, let's print books, one pass, Baitong, hahaha............" Li Ang laughed loudly, this time, not only solved the supply of books for the children in the village, but also found a way to make money for Shangxi Village, and it can even be said that Ma Qingquan found a shortcut to high political performance, and now, all problems have been solved.

Li Ang was happy, and with a snap, Old Man Hua unceremoniously hit his head and scolded: "Stinky boy, the old man sees that you are really crazy!" Do you know why books are so expensive?

?

This is to print a book, many carved board craftsmen, page by page carved on the hardwood board, carved a wrong word, a piece of wood board will be scrapped, laborious and costly, is the book so easy to print? ”

"Hua Lao, don't do it yet, it is precisely because it is difficult to print books now that we can make money, you ......... Don't worry, listen to me. As long as we do what I say, we will go to Shangxi Village, and the future will be full of money! (To be continued......)
