The two of them sat by the river and talked about love, and the time was so unaware that it had passed, until it was about to get dark, and he was reluctant to stand up, Li You sent her to the carriage, and then got on the horse and talked to Zhou Nan in the carriage while moving forward slowly, "After two days of vacation, I invited some friends to go to the house for a small gathering, and the Taiping County Lord will also go at that time, if you are free, you might as well go to the door with the Taiping County Lord."

"Oh? Why do we meet? Thinking of the poem that Li You just made, Zhou Nan's careful liver began to flutter, his future prime minister is extraordinary but not as arrogant as other talents, and it really makes people feel more and more like each other.

"I made a little gadget, and it's not fun to play alone, so I'll invite some friends to be lively when the time comes." Li You replied with a smile, "When the time comes, if you like it, I can also give you a set, and then you and Danqing can play by themselves at home." ”

"Is it something like checkers?" Zhou Nan's eyes flickered, and he seemed very interested in this thing; In fact, life in the boudoir is still a little lonely, stay at home all day, there is nothing interesting to do except reading and painting, the checkers sent by Li You last time made her happy for a few days, I don't know what it will be this time?

"It's boring to talk about it now, but you'll find out when you go and see it." When men and women get along, the best way to enhance the relationship is to constantly have surprises.

Sending Zhou Nan back to the Bachelor's Mansion, Li You turned back to his home, and after entering the door, he walked straight to the room that was vacated for this party, where several craftsmen were busy nervously.

"How many days will it take to finish?" Li You looked at the object in the middle of the room, which was already quite rudimentary, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his hands.

"Look, little lord." A gray-haired craftsman handed over what he was working on, "This one is almost ready, according to your instructions, it has been polished with the finest hardwood that has dried naturally, and a ring made of fine copper, and the small one has just tried it, and it is extremely easy to use." ”

"Okay." Li You took it and gestured twice, the long-lost feeling made him quite intoxicated, and he couldn't help but praise, "There is not a trace of burrs up and down, take advantage of the weight, it's really a good craft!" ”

"Little lord, I've also polished these." Not to be outdone, another craftsman saw that he had received a compliment, and opened it as if it were a treasure, revealing the contents of it.

"Good, good." Li You picked it up and looked at it carefully, his mouth kept applauding, he thought it would take two more days to complete, but he didn't expect to do it almost today, "You work hard, if you can do it well tomorrow, I will be rewarded." ”

"Thank you, little sir!" These craftsmen hurriedly bowed and saluted, and sent Li You out of the courtyard until they worked harder again, until they had almost done all the work in the middle of the moon.

Out of the Earl's Court, the gray-haired craftsman hurried to the West Market, came to the door of a carpentry shop, looked left and right and found that no one was following him, and then dodged in; When he got inside, closed the door, and entered the inner courtyard, he asked respectfully, "Juzi, I'm coming back." ”

"Gu Lao has worked hard." The oil lamp was lit, and a middle-aged man with dark skin and plain clothes welcomed him into the room, "What is this little lord going to create?" ”

"At the bottom of it, it seems that what he has created is a plaything." After saying that, Gu Lao couldn't help but shake his head, "Such an exquisite design, but in the end it is just for a plaything; These noble sons are really ......"

"Hey, the festival of all things is yin and yang, what I saw along the road to Beijing this time, there are countless people who have fled with their families; If it weren't for the fact that these people in high positions don't know how to use sparingly, why would they be over-oppressing the people? The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, "The plaything you have built for him these days has cost at least ten families a year's needs; If the nobles in Beijing are as profligate as him, then chaos in the world is not far away. ”

"This is all Confucianism's emphasis on etiquette and music to govern the people, and those complicated rituals and music of Confucianism need to consume a lot of money, and using these money to these useless places can only make the poor poorer." Gu Lao began to habitually criticize the Confucian scholars in the court, "In this way, only a few nobles can enjoy luxury, and different people have no food and clothing." ”

"Now that Confucianism is powerful, we are just surviving, it is not easy to survive, and it is so difficult to change the way of the world." Juzi shook his head and said when he heard him repeat the same old tune.

"Juzi, Confucianism is powerful because they are high above the court and hold authority. If we take advantage of the chaos in the world to assist the overlord of one side and help him gain the world, we may not be able to regain his vitality. Gu Lao persuaded again.

"No, my Mo family pays attention to 'non-attack', and now I am powerless to stop the war, but I must not do the opposite." Juzi said firmly.

"'The benefit of rejuvenating the world and eliminating the harm of the world' is also the principle of my Mohists, this is not a conquest, but 'the benefits of rejuvenating the world'; if our Mohists stand on the court, we will be able to sweep away the ills of Confucianism and return the world to a prosperous future." Gu Lao quoted the scriptures and talked to Juzi for a long time, but in the end he still didn't say anything about the other party, so he had to sigh and quietly retreat.

But he definitely didn't give up, he just knew that the world was still peaceful at the moment, and maybe Juzi's mind would change when the war came.

On the other side of the capital, the craftsman holding the brocade box was also telling his leader about today's events in a secret room, and he used his fingers to draw a few numbers, "Sect Master, I reported this number to the little lord, and we can make so much money in this business." ”

"Well, since you said that kind of thing seems interesting, then there must be other powerful children and wealthy nobles looking for you to customize in the future, and these need to be prepared in advance. After this business is done, we will have about the same amount of money to buy weapons. The sect leader said coldly.

"Yes, the little one will definitely handle this well." The man replied respectfully.

"After this matter is done, I will make you the master of incense, and after we raise troops to seize the world, you will be the founder of the country, and you will have everything in the future." The sect leader said in a demagogic voice.

A few days later, during the mid-year holiday, Li You invited Wang Ji, Zheng Liang and other people in the Guozi Prison and his friends to his house, in addition to Qian Hua, who served in the forbidden army, Lu Jingzhao and others who met in Xiyuan Ya last time, of course, the Taiping county lord who likes to be lively, and Zhou Nan and other female guests who came with her.

Everyone came to the house and looked curiously at the new gadget that Li You had taken out.
