Since befriending Yu Chi Baolin, Cheng Chumo and the sons of the Er Li family, Xu Yang's reputation has gradually spread in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an.

It was not an old fairy with a gray beard who came from overseas, but a tall and thin young man, which obviously could not satisfy the curiosity and gossip of many nobles in Chang'an, so now the Yueke Building in Xuyang's renovation is the first to bear the brunt and become the target of public criticism.

Yueke Building has been renovated for two days, the black plaque hanging on the main entrance of the door 'Yueke Building' has been removed, replaced with a few colorful plaques, carefully look at the first two big characters 'Chang'an', but the back of the 'KTV' words do not look like Datang characters.

Every day, people come to the West Market to visit this building, which is said to have been renovated by the disciples of Guigu.

However, when they saw that the windows of the huge three-story building of Yueke Building were actually unloaded, countless literati and artists all said that it was a pity, thinking that a good Yueke Building was destroyed by this overseas visitor.

However, the very tightly guarded things of six carriages brought from the foot of Zhongnan Mountain aroused the curiosity of the residents around the Yueke Building, and later, after the glass on the third floor was installed, everyone found that the windows of this towering and huge restaurant had been replaced with crystal glass.

What kind of handwriting is this, now crystal glass is still sold in Chang'an, Youzhou to Chang'an journey is far away, bumps on the road are inevitable, glass is fragile will be broken if you don't pay attention to it, the carriage is loaded with a large number of hay and hemp stalks can only be preserved six or seven tenths, not to mention the whole piece of giant glass, a small piece is a hundred dollars, the average rich family only buy a few pieces inlaid on the door, which is also from Youzhou side of the hand.

Nowadays, there are 42 windows on the first floor of the restaurant, and 126 windows on the third floor, all of which are inlaid with glass, so I can't imagine how much it costs.

However, the new owner of Yueke Building didn't seem to care about the use of glass at all, no, even the wooden door was removed and replaced with a dazzling crystal glass door.

With this renovated restaurant, Xishi can attract countless people to visit every day, and the sales of goods have surged, but visiting the restaurant can only be seen outside, and people inside are never allowed to enter, and hundreds of workers are seen in and out of the house every day, busy inside and outside, countless nobles are already eager to go to the restaurant to see what big changes have happened in this Yueke Building

Xu Yang's fief has now entered the construction stage, and Li Ermajesty heard that Xu Yang planned to build a mansion on the hill next to the fiefdom of Zhongnan Mountain, so he directly approved it, and at the same time sent three hundred civil craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering to help build it, which can be regarded as making up for the loss of the city management to recruit Jinwu.

When there are more people, it is naturally easy to do things, Xu Yang first ordered to cut down trees, and a large open space will be carved out on the hillside, this is his own mansion, how to build it, as long as it does not exceed the system, even if Xu Yang spends a million yuan, no one will ask him.

Xu Yang originally planned to build another academy, but he thought that the academy already had one in Maozhuang in Youzhou, and he would better build a real mansion in Chang'an, which would be regarded as his roots in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

The speed of the craftsmen is not slow, a small hillside was cut down in half a day, and no tree can continue to stand proudly, Xu Yang walked to the trees that were cut down, carefully observed their annual rings, but found that these annual rings have one or two hundred circles, in later generations, these can be sold for hundreds of thousands of prices, but in Datang, they are lying quietly on the ground and become the material for fire.

After sighing, Xu Yang ordered the craftsmen to sawn these big trees into small pieces, which made the craftsmen very puzzled, and Xu Yang didn't bother to explain, so he said that he was of great use, so he didn't need to ask.

The Tang people's hierarchical concept is very heavy, what the master wants to do, the craftsmen will unconditionally implement, although they don't know what they are doing, but the craftsmen are still very serious, the Tang Dynasty people have no concept of laziness.

Soon sawed a lot of small wooden blocks according to Xu Yang's requirements, Xu Yang played with it carefully, good, bright color, not rough to start, this is the best material for making mahjong.

The scales were handed down, the wood was sawn to scale, and the craftsmen got busy again.

At this time, Xu Yang had already prepared the carriage, and the steam wooden cart was dragging behind the carriage and planned to enter Chang'an to meet Li Er

At this time, Li Er was sitting on the Liangyi Hall, and lectured to the kneeling Qingque and Gao Ming below.

"What has Xu Yang taught you in the past few days?" Li Er's tone was very lazy, and the eldest grandson gently fanned him on the side, looking at his two sons below with a smile.

Li Chengqian bowed his head and said: "Back to my father, in the past two days, Emperor Xu has taught his sons a lot of things, including the causes of thunder and rain, the truth of weather changes, and all kinds of overseas anecdotes and the secret art of ghost valley 'physics', but unfortunately the sons are shallow and have not even learned the fur, please punish my father." ”

Li Erban squinted his eyes and said: "It's okay, Xu Yang is not an emperor, he is just a courtier who I arranged to teach you about the art of vertical and horizontal, you don't need to be called Emperor Xu in the future, the secret art of the ghost valley is the result of continuous exploration for dozens of generations, where can you learn it for a while, you can understand it, you don't have to study it all the way." ”

Li Chengqian and Li Tai said in unison: "No." ”

Empress Changsun pulled her hair in a bun and smiled at Her Highness's two kneeling sons: "Get up, your father has no intention of punishing you." ”

Li Chengqian and Li Tai sat up and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Er suddenly remembered something, and said, "I heard that Xu Yang took you to ride a bicycle in Taiye Lake all day, but is there such a thing?" ”

Li Chengqian and Li Tai were a little frightened, after all, riding a bicycle is also a kind of fun, and they are very afraid that their father will blame them.

"Back to my father, it is true, Xu Yang said that Qingque and I lack exercise and are thin, so I asked for three bicycles from Jingkangfang, and rode around Taiye Lake every afternoon to strengthen my body." Li Chengqian's voice trembled slightly, Li Er's imperial aura would make everyone fear him, including his son.

Li Er nodded lightly and said, "This is a good thing, most of my sons are not in good health, let this Xu Yang send a bicycle to each prince in order to exercise." Li Er paused and said: "Listening to the book, all the restaurants he renovated in Chang'an use glass windows, which seems to be similar to the first restaurant in the Tang Dynasty that Yingwei brought news from Youzhou, I must go and see it when it is built." The white-eyed father-in-law in the distance bowed his head and went to draft the edict.

Empress Changsun fanned Pu Fan and said: "I heard that this restaurant has been renamed 'KTV', and the concubine doesn't know what it is, and I want to accompany His Majesty to see it at that time." ”

Li Er stroked the eldest grandson's hair and said with a smile: "Then let's see what surprises this kid can give me." ”
