Light is always a panacea for healing the wounds of the soul.

This is especially true for Li Xian.

Just like the satisfaction that rises from the bottom of many people's hearts when they see the farmer busy with the autumn harvest, it is the same feeling to watch the piles of raw materials gradually become fine in the hands of craftsmen, and finally turn into exquisite goods.

And Chang'an Workshop is undoubtedly the most positive place in the whole world.

Li Xian took out a dark green bead from a shelf and put it in front of his nose to sniff, and then said to Yun Chu: "Goose pear tent incense? ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "The ingredients are complex, the process is complicated, and after sixty-seven processes, such a goose pear tent incense is produced, which not only has the effect of repelling mosquitoes when worn on the body, but also enhances the fragrance." ”

Li Xian looked at a fragrant ball with silk thread hanging from his waist and said, "It's always money." ”

After speaking, he looked at the three-foot-long wooden plank with grooves in front of him, and each groove of the plank was filled with the kind of beads that he had always had on his body.

"How much is this? Three thousand? ”

The guy next to him smiled and said, "If you go back to your nobles, this version is three thousand two hundred." ”

Li Xian stretched his neck to look into the depths of the workshop, and found that there were as many as seven or eight large wooden planks like the one in front of him, so he asked Yun Chu suspiciously: "If there are many, who will they sell them to?" ”

Yun Chu said: "There should be no less than five hundred of these things in His Highness's mansion. ”

Li Xian said: "Even if all the noble mansions have this thing, I'm afraid they won't be able to buy much, right?" ”

Yun Chu said: "The smell of the Tang Dynasty is not heavy, so the Tang Dynasty is not the main market for this thing, didn't His Royal Highness entertain people from the Western Regions some time ago, and he should have a deep impression of their body odor." ”

Li Xian licked his big steel teeth with his tongue and said with some fear: "I almost want to run away." ”

Yun Chu smiled: "So, this thing is just a luxury for the Tang people, and it is not a big problem to have it, but for those Hu people, it is a necessity."

Because this thing is small and precious, it has become a good commodity that Hu merchants compete to grab, and it can sell a lot of goods at the goods fair in spring and autumn every year, and it can bring about 5,000 yuan of tax revenue to Chang'an every year. ”

Li Xian nodded, carefully put the bead in his hand back into the groove of the plank, thought of the pile of weeds and bark seen in the raw material preparation area, and said to Yun Chu: "Turning decay into magic, this is a real good thing." ”

Yun Chu stretched out his hands and said to Li Xian: "This is the biggest reliance we can rely on to become the king of all things. ”

Li Xian installed big steel teeth today, and followed Yun Chu to visit no less than ten workshops, and finally arrived at the textile workshop, in which more than nine cities were staffed by women.

Li Xian also entered this place called a daughter country by the people of Chang'an for the first time, looking at the busy textile workers, Li Xian hugged his hands and said: "A woman supports her family? ”

Yun Chu said: "A family where both husband and wife have errands is far richer than a family where only men work outside the home. ”

Li Xian said: "In this way, wouldn't it destroy the etiquette religion? ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Male cultivator and female weaving, where is the destruction?" ”

Li Xian said with a smile: "The prince should not be hard-mouthed in front of the lonely king, it is a good skill to quarrel with those gentlemen in the Ministry of Rites." ”

Yun Chu said: "In the past, Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, didn't say anything. ”

Li Xian lowered his head and smiled: "His family style is not good, I guess I don't have the face to talk about you." ”

Yun Chu said: "The previous Shangshu Lu King of the Ministry of Rites, Li Lingkui, didn't say anything. ”

Li Xian sighed and said, "His head is rotten, so naturally he can't say it." ”

Yun Chu said again: "The current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Jingxuan, doesn't say anything. ”

Li Xian said: "I heard that he was at odds with his stepmother. ”

"So, why does the Ministry of Rites say about me? In my opinion, such a workshop, even if it loses money, it must be opened more, and His Royal Highness also knows that the Yun family is used to raising children, but I don't know that this is not Yun Chu's ability, but my wife's ability.

According to the experience summed up by His Majesty over the years, whether a child is smart or not is closely related to whether there is a sensible mother, if the mother is a virtuous and virtuous lady who can handle everything, the child will definitely not be there.

Your Highness, can you know that in this Chang'an City, the people there are most willing to let their children study? ”

Li Xian has been smart since he was a child, and when he heard Yun Chu say this, he pointed to the busy female textile workers and said, "Are they?" ”

Yun Chu nodded and said: "They don't make much money, but they collectively paid for Mr. to enlighten their children, and the workshop also deliberately set aside a courtyard for these gentlemen to teach students in the courtyard, do you want Your Highness to go and see?" ”

Li Xian was surprised and said, "They pay for Mr. themselves?" The Lone King is here to see. ”

Yun Chu led Li Xian through the huge workshop, walked out through a side door, and when he went out, he was stunned, because in front of his eyes, a seemingly large school suddenly appeared, which was definitely not a small courtyard in Yun Chu's mouth.

This courtyard covers an area of five acres, surrounded by rows of school buildings, through the open window, you can see rows of schoolchildren sitting inside, and Langlang's reading sound is neat and orderly, in the ears of Li Xian, who has always loved reading, it is no less than Xianle.

Standing outside the window and listening for a while, Li Xian whispered to Yun Chu: "I have learned the Analects." ”

Yun Chu pointed to the school house behind him and said, "There should have been a start of teaching "Spring and Autumn" there. ”

Li Xian took a breath and said, "This is already a scholar, and they will all participate in scientific expeditions in the future?" ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "A very small number of people with outstanding intelligence will naturally participate in the scientific examination, they will enter the four schools, and even Taixue, Guozijian, and finally become the officials of my Tang Dynasty."

The rest of the talented and mediocre people will also enter the Ministry of Industry according to their preferences, or enter the Sinong Temple as a doctor of agriculture, and those who are not willing to be poor will enter the workshops, and will start to learn the way of merchants from the buddy, if nothing goes wrong, within ten years, when His Royal Highness inspects the various workshops again, he will come forward to entertain His Highness's shopkeeper, and they should be there. ”

Li Xian came to the middle of the school, and after turning around, he said, "How many students are in this school?" ”

Yun Chu smiled faintly and said, "Three thousand! ”

"Three thousand?" Yun Chu could feel Li Xian's nostrils begin to spew heavily.

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Such a school is called a textile school, the first and second cotton spinning mills have such schools, and the two large textile workshops belonging to the Baiqi Division also have two such schools.

It is said that the Hyaki Division will also recruit Hyaki Division personnel from its own workshop school. ”

Li Xian stepped in front of Yun Chu and said, "This means that there are four such schools, and each school has three thousand students?" ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "The most, that is, the original No. 1 Textile Workshop School, has the largest number of students, and it is said that there are nearly four thousand students. ”

Li Xian said in disbelief: "Just relying on the donations of those female workers, they opened such a large four schools? ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Naturally this is not the case, at the beginning there were only three or five gentlemen, and it was true when there were one hundred and ten students, but now it is not, for ten thousand years, the two counties of Chang'an allocate six thousand yuan to these four schools every year. ”

Li Xian was silent for a long time before he said to Yun Chu: "What is the purpose of the prince inviting me here?" ”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Since the flowing water brand blew up ......"

When Li Xian heard that Yun Chu began to talk about the flowing water brand again, like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, he jumped three feet high, and quickly shook his hand and said, "Junhou, just say what you need the lonely king to do." ”

Yun Chu said: "Go back and talk about it in detail." ”

Li Xian returned to the Yamen of Wannian County with Yun Chu with a worried face, and came to an empty official house, the ground of the official house was undulating, and it was covered with a huge tarpaulin.

After the officials carefully removed the tarpaulin, Li Xian's eyes immediately straightened, because he saw the Yellow River, and the mountains, flatlands, and cities on both sides of the Yellow River.

After taking another look, Li Xian was very sure that there was only one section of the Yellow River he saw, starting from Jincheng in Lanzhou and ending at Fenglingdu.

"What are you going to do?" The big steel teeth that Li Xian had just installed gurgled up and down.

"With the help of the power of the Yellow River, the wealth of the north will be accepted to strengthen the prestige of Chang'an."

"The Lonely King, the governor of Yongzhou, can't be the master......" Li Xian's face turned even paler.

Yun Chu glanced at Li Xian, who was trembling, and said, "What is Your Highness shaking?" ”

Li Xian's eyes widened and said, "You want to rebel?" ”

Yun Chu was puzzled and said: "This is already a matter discussed in the court, what does it have to do with rebellion?" ”

"Discussed? Hey, this is the northward strategy of the southward and northward strategies that are currently being debated in the court? ”

Li Xian, who had figured out what was going on, immediately stopped shaking, and began to carefully observe this crude sand table that Yun Chu had deliberately made out with interest.

After Yun Chu explained what the Yellow River Ring Road Project was, Li Xian looked at Yun Chu again, and he was very calm.

"The lone king has always thought that the prince is the prince's person."

Yun Chu said a little impatiently: "I am a Tang person, a courtier of His Majesty, a courtier of the crown prince, and a courtier of His Royal Highness. ”

Li Xian said unmoved: "Prince, you are doing this to promote the ambition of the lonely king to seize the heir. ”

Yun Chu said irritably: "Your Highness's ambition will only make your future more miserable, and it has no effect. ”

Li Xian said angrily: "You dare to underestimate this king so much. ”

Yun Chu also said angrily: "Originally, what can't be said, the prince is now a half-monarch-like existence, anyone who peeps into the prince's position is dead, I thought His Royal Highness had already given up this ambition, how could he still talk about this thing?" ”

"If you think so, why did you bring me in?"

"Because you are the king of Yong, half of the places in my plan for the Yellow River loop are nominally under your rule."

"I won't do it, this is looking for death, and the prince will beat me to death."

"If you don't do this, why don't you do it, what do you want to do, or rather, you don't want to do anything, just want to eat and wait for death like Ji Wangshen and Cao Wangming?"

"The lonely king can open a workshop and a school."

"It costs money to open a workshop, it costs money to open a school, dare to ask His Royal Highness if he still owes millions of dollars for the flowing water brand, what to use to start a workshop, open a school, or do something big, that kind of small thing is not in line with the temperament of King Yong."

"No, I can ask my father for money, start a workshop, and open a school!"

"Give me the money you owe me first."

"No, the Lone King doesn't owe you money, only the money of the flowing water brand, you don't want to coerce the Lone King to participate in your Yellow River Ring Project, don't even think about it......"
