To put it bluntly, Mr. Jingyuan's illness is a heart disease, as the saying goes, heart disease also needs heart medicine, and this is not wrong at all, when my wife learned that Jingyuan had decided to teach at Alan Academy, this illness was half cured

Jingyuan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down and held his wife's hand: Madam, let's move to Alan County tonight, the head of the Li family has already prepared all the places for us to live

My wife glanced into the room: Why is the old man in such a hurry, I haven't packed up so many things at home

Jing Yuan also glanced into the house: Don't clean up the house, there are nothing valuable at home, there is everything in the new house, as long as we go over

As he spoke, he wrinkled his wife out of bed with his hand, went to the cabinet and found a thick dress for his wife to drape, and then he carefully helped his wife to the carriage, everything in the house can not be lost, but the books he has saved over the years cannot be lost, so Jing Yuan returned to the house and rummaged through the cabinets, for fear that the books would be left behind, good guy, he really has a lot of books, I helped him move more than a dozen times in a row, the carriage was stuffed full, and Deng Deng only left a place where people could sit

The master poked her head out of the carriage, looked at the six chickens in the yard and shouted softly to Jingyuan: Old man, chicken

Jing Yuan replied impatiently: Oops-I know

If you want to say that the book is Mr. Jingyuan's spiritual food, the six chickens in the yard are the second life of the master's mother, Jingyuan found a bamboo basket somewhere, and it took a lot of effort, and finally put the six chickens in the yard into the bamboo basket, Jingyuan moved the bamboo basket, the good guy was quite heavy, so he called Li Yang to go over and take a hand, and the two carried the bamboo basket to the back of the carriage together

Jing Yuan stretched out his hand and shook the bamboo basket on the carriage a little Gu Yong, he was worried that the bamboo basket would be turned upside down when the carriage left, fortunately, I don't know who put a rope behind the carriage, Li Yang tied the bamboo basket to the carriage with a rope, and this time it couldn't fall, and all the things that could be taken were on the carriage, so it should be able to set off

But Jingyuan really didn't get into the carriage for a long time, and when Li Yang saw this, he asked: Sir, do you still have anything you haven't taken?

Jing Yuan sighed lightly with a shy face: "Master Li, you have to do me a favor."

Li Yang arched his hand: If you need anything, sir, you can even say

Jing Yuan glanced at the carriage and called me aside: I borrowed 400 wen from my neighbors to see my wife before, and before leaving, Jing Yuan wanted to pay back the money owed to the neighbors first

When Li Yang heard this, he quickly touched his sleeve Fortunately, I brought money today, so he took out a money bag from his sleeve and put it in Jing Yuan's hand: I don't know exactly how much money is in the money bag, but the money in the money bag must be more than 400 yuan, and Mr. may as well pay them back some more to express his gratitude

Jingyuan took the money bag: I will pay you back the money when the money is opened

Li Yang: Sir, don't worry, if you don't have enough money, just tell the students

When Mr. Jingyuan paid back the money, the group could finally leave home, and when they returned to Alan County, it was already dark, and it was estimated that it was about 8:30-9 o'clock in mid-air, and you couldn't see a few pedestrians on the street at this time, more than a dozen officials were patrolling the street with two lanterns, and Li Yang drove the carriage to stop in front of a blue brick house with a small courtyard

Li Yang helped Jingyuan and his wife down from the carriage: "My wife first wronged you to deal with it here for a few days, and when you forget what is at hand, I will build a new garden for you and your husband."

My wife shook her hand: No—no, it's good

The blue brick house also has a yard, which is very in line with the mind of the master, and the mind of the master and wife is naturally in line with the mind of the husband, Li Yang opened the courtyard door and made a gesture of please to Mr. and the wife, after the master entered the house, he lit the oil lamp on the table, and with the faint light, Li Yang moved the bamboo basket to the yard and buckled it to the ground, and after the bamboo basket was taken away, the six chickens walked around by themselves, and then he helped Jingyuan move the books on the car to the house, and after helping Li Yang drove the carriage back to the manor

The blue brick house is a better private house from the outside, but after entering the house, there is indeed a different hole in the sky and another situation, just enter the house in front of the front is a wide living room, it occupies more than half of the space of the whole house, there is a pair of landscape paintings on both sides of the wall facing the door, there is a brown-red rectangular square table under the landscape painting, and there are two brown-red chairs on the left and right sides

There is a display cabinet on the left side of the living room against the wall, which can be used to place porcelain-books and other decorations, there is a long desk and a chair in front of the display cabinet, pen-ink-paper-inkstone are neatly placed on the table, there are two chairs and a tea table on the right side of the living room are used to receive guests, and there is a small door in the lower left corner of the living room to enter the kitchen, and the north side of the kitchen is a room with a fire kang to eat and sleep here

Moved into the new home Jingyuan was busy putting his books on the display case, and when he sat on the chair and looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, he immediately became interested, so he picked up the pen and brought up a pair of words for the new home, after writing, he not only praised "good words, good words" The master and wife were busy cooking on the fire in the kitchen, and saw that the old man was in a good mood today, and he was also happy

As soon as Li Yang returned to the manor, he didn't even care about eating and ran to the conference hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of people such as Gao Yuankui - Brother Long were talking and laughing there, Li Yang apologized to everyone as he walked: Brother - brothers can't help it, I'm sorry - I'm sorry

Long Chuan glanced at Li Yang: You kid ran away again

Li Yang returned to his seat and sat down: No, the academy is about to be delivered, I will go to pick up Mr. Teach, by the way, brother-plateau, have you all eaten

Gao Yuan: What to eat, I was originally thinking about going home to eat after discussing things, but when you don't come back, we forgot about eating while chatting

Li Yang: The second child told the kitchen to order fried noodles, and put more meat in the sauce after the sauce, preferably the kind with fat

Li Song: Okay, boss, I know

Li Yang looked at Long Chuan: Brother, let's get down to business

Long Chuan took out a pair of account books from his arms, put them on the table and pushed them in front of Li Yang: The foundation of the coastal defense fortress has been built, and I have recorded every expense in detail in the account book

Li Yang took the account book and read it roughly, and then he handed the account book to the plateau: Brother, how much money do you have left

Long Chuan: There are still more than 600 taels left of the previous 10,000 taels of silver

After Gao Yuan took the account book and read it, he handed the account book to Yuan Kui again: Brother Long is about to enter winter in less than two months, how far can the coastal defense fortress be built this year

Long Chuan: Before the winter, I plan to build the barracks, so that the brothers of the Haiphong battalion have a place to stay, and I also plan to build the walls of the fortress before the winter

Yuan Kui: At the current pace, I think the coastal defense fortress will be completed before the winter of next year

Long Chuan: As long as the silver and materials can be supplied, it should be about the same before the winter next year

Li Yang: My brother will build more barracks this year, and if conditions allow next year, I plan to expand the Haiphong battalion to 3,000 people, and build 10 three-sail warships for Haiphong

Ryukawa: That's fine

Li Yang: Brother Long, I'll get you 10,000 taels of silver tomorrow, you use it first, and I'll get it for you when it's used up

Long Chuan: Okay, I'll bring someone to pick it up tomorrow morning

Li Yang: After the completion of the coastal defense fortress, do you still have to arrange some defense facilities such as crossbow beds and catapults on the city tower?

Ryukawa: That's right, the defense of the city relied on these defenses to inflict heavy losses on the invading enemy

Li Yang: Then if you buy these defense facilities, do you have to spend a lot of money?

Long Chuan pursed his lips: A crossbow bed costs 100 taels of silver—the catapult almost gets that silver

Li Yang: Brother, I've heard people say that the official's weapons workshop has drawings for manufacturing siege equipment and defense facilities, and if we can get the drawings ourselves, we will definitely save a lot of silver

Long Chuan: Brother, things are not as simple as you think, the leakage of siege equipment drawings is equivalent to leaking military information, and according to the law, it is necessary to kill the head

Li Yang: Oh so-man, do you have a way to sell ballistas and catapults?

Tatsukawa: If there were a lot of them, I would have been able to figure out a way

Li Yang: Is there a specific number of this?

Long Chuan: Why don't you have to start with 10,000 taels of silver

Li Yang: When will you be free, brother, you can help inquire about it, and see if I have enough money in the winter, I will book this matter

Long Chuan: Okay, I'll take the time to ask you about it one day

At this time, Li Song brought a large pot of boiled noodles to the table, and the maid who followed next to him put the fried meat sauce and chopsticks on the edge of the big basin

Jingyuan's house is hot on the side of the kang, and the old couple is really hot when they lay down on the new quilt, it is said that the new home is not many times better than the thatched house they lived in before, but the master and wife feel that the new home does not have the habit of living in the thatched house before, and Jingyuan told her that you will get used to it after living for a while

The next day, Mr. Jingyuan asked someone to go to Taizhou City and invited his two most proud students to Alan Academy, and one of his two students claimed to be Mr. Liu Qing and the other claimed to be Taihu Layman, these two were also relatively famous in the Taizhou literati circle, and the three of them tasted tea under the pavilion in the academy

During the chat, Jingyuan found an opportunity: I want to invite the two of you to teach at Alan Academy, and I don't know if you two have any intention of coming for three taels of silver per month

Mr. Liu Qing and Taihu monks glanced at the academy, and felt that the environment was not bad, and they gave a lot of money, and in addition to the master-apprentice relationship in the past, the two of them agreed without much thought, but the three of them still couldn't meet the teaching requirements of the academy, so Li Yang invited the previous few Xiucai who were interested in teaching in the academy to come over, and in this way, the education team of Alan Academy was pulled

Li Yang of the academy is in charge of Mr. Jingyuan, and he himself is only responsible for providing the academy with the required teaching materials, the academy counts Mr. Jingyuan, there are a total of 10 teaching gentlemen, of which Jingyuan's salary is up to 5 taels of silver a month and the others are 3 taels of silver, Jingyuan led a few of them to be busy with some matters related to the opening of the school

According to the agreement with King Acharan, after the war is over, the Alan Chamber of Commerce will transport the food needed by the Manjiang people to the Manjiang Capital, and ask Mr. Shu for advice to the academy can be delayed for more than ten days, and now the affairs of the academy are over, and it is time for him to fulfill the agreement between him and the king of Acharan, so Li Yang checked the account book and the Alan Chamber of Commerce can call 75,000 quintals of grain

Remembering that the general had told himself to control the food of the Manjiang people before, then first send 25,000 quintals to the Manjiang Autonomous Region for emergency, and the grassland of the Li family manor was brightly lit at night, and two hundred carriages were driving into the manor one after another along the line, and the family and the men loaded the grain into the carriage by the light of the torches, and it was not until late at night that the two hundred carriages were filled

The next day, Li Song and I were just about to take the caravan to set off, but Li Pingping was blocked and said that he wanted to go with us, he just wanted to take a look at his sweetheart Du Chalan, and see him in front of him with a pitiful look, if I didn't take him there then I would be too unkind, so the three brothers took the caravan and set off to the Manjiang capital

Three days of walking for three days before the caravan arrived at the Manjiang capital, this way the brothers are eating and sleeping in the open and getting up early and greedy for darkness to hurry, the road in the Manjiang Autonomous Region is really broken, not only narrow, some places are also muddy and difficult to walk, you have to rely on the guys to push the carriage to walk the bar over, there are wolves and beasts wandering near the caravan in the dense woods at night, and the guys can't wait to open one eye and close one eye when sleeping, for fear that they will be picked up by wolves and beasts when they fall asleep

As soon as the caravan entered the Manjiang capital, it immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers, they stepped forward to ask what kind of goods were pulled on the car, and when they learned that the car was loaded with grain, they wanted to exchange it for their own herbs and furs, and just arrived Li Song and his guys Zhang Leqi and the Manjiang people's transactions, and the settlement methods are also very diverse-barter-barter-ex-money-money for-money-money for-money-for-money for-money-for-money for-money-

The originally deserted street also became lively, and after a while, King Acha rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw Li Yang, he shouted "Master Li"

Li Yang heard someone shouting that he looked back and saw that it was Ah Chaan, so he quickly greeted him, and as soon as the two met, they first came to hug

Acha Lan: Why did you come here, Master Li?

Li Yang: There are some things at home that have been delayed, and the road of King Achalan's barbarian Jiang Autonomous Region is too difficult to walk

Ah Cha sighed lightly: We are like this when it rains, if it is sunny and it can be stronger, what kind of goods are you bringing with the Li family master so sought-after

Li Yang: Those carriages were loaded with grain

Acharan: How much food can you bring with you on this trip?

Li Yang: This time I brought 2,000 quintals of grain

Acha: That's not much

Li Yang: King Achalan, when the caravan comes again, he will bring more food

Acha: You won't wait another ten days to come, will you?

Li Yang calculated the distance: No, it will be 5-6 days

Acharan: Okay

Li Yang called Li Song over: King Achalan, this is my brother Li Song, I will hand over the trade between the Alan Chamber of Commerce and the Manjiang Autonomous Region to him in the future, and I hope that King Achalan will take more care of you

Li Song bowed to Ah Cha Lan: Li Song had seen the King of Ah Cha Lan

Ah Cha waved his hand: "Well, the brother of the head of the Li family is also a friend of our barbarian ginger."

At night, King Achalan held a banquet to entertain the guys, and at the banquet, Li Pingping sat opposite Du Chalan, which was as he wished, he had been staring at Du Chalan, and he was embarrassed to look at everyone, and he had no appetite for the best food at this time

Seeing this, Li Song asked me in a low voice: Boss-Is this food not suitable for the third child's appetite, I don't think he has eaten much, this is not like him

Li Yang: Second child, didn't you see that the third child kept staring at the girl opposite, the third child has lovesickness and doesn't care about him, this time you know why he has to follow

Li Song snickered when he heard this, covering his mouth with his hand

At dawn the next day, the Chamber of Commerce set off to return to Alan County, as soon as Li Yang returned home and did not wait to enter the door, a woman's cry came from the house, and the voice was quite loud, and when she entered the house, she saw Song Shiting lying on the table crying bitterly, at this time her hands were still holding the Xuanwu egg, and Heng Yan was sitting on the chair next to her to comfort her

Li Yang came to Song Shiting's side and sat down: Madam, what's wrong with you

Song Shiting heard that her hands were scattering the basalt eggs, and she threw herself into Li Yang's arms, "woo-woo", and the husband's eggs were broken

As soon as Li Yang heard it, he was blindsided: What kind of egg is broken

Heng Yan shook her head helplessly: It's the egg you brought back, just now my sister accidentally tripped over the threshold when she entered the house with the egg, and the egg fell to the ground and broke out

Li Yang touched Song Shiting's head, "Hey, I thought it was a big deal, the egg was broken, what are you crying about, Mrs. don't cry, wait that day, I'll pick one up for you on the Shanghai side."

Song Shiting looked at the Xuanwu egg and cried again, Li Yang glanced at the colorful Xuanwu egg, the turbid translucent mucus was taking advantage of the outside along the crack, and the left and right Xuanwu eggs were also broken Li Yang wanted to see what it was like inside, so he picked up the Xuanwu egg and prepared to break it along the crack

Seeing this, Song Shiting snatched the Xuanwu egg over: What are you doing

Li Yang showed a simple smile: Madam, I'll think about it and see what kind of play is inside

Song Shiting's eyebrows tightened, Zou hugged the Xuanwu egg tightly in her arms, she raised her hand and pointed at my nose and stared at me viciously: If you dare to break it open, I won't play with you

Li Yang hurriedly raised his hands: Listen to you

Song Shiting put the basalt egg back in the square plate, Li Yang had a dream when he slept at night, I don't know what kind of place this is full of dust and broken houses, he waved his hand to dispel the dust in front of him, just took a step forward He felt as if he had stepped on something, looked down and took a closer look, he not only gasped, but also the boundless corpses under his feet were like charcoal, and when he raised his head, the nearby mountains and rivers were all burning with flames

So Li Yang ran desperately, but no matter how he ran, he was still spinning here, and suddenly a three-headed Ying Long spread his wings and galloped through the air, and the three-headed Ying Dragon continued to spew flames in the air to burn the earth, when the three-headed Ying Dragon landed, the earth and mountains trembled, Li Yang picked up the steel knife and spear on the ground, and he held the spear tightly and ran towards the three-headed Ying Long

After getting closer, he used all his strength to shoot the spear towards the three-headed Ying Long, but the spear pierced Ying Long's body and was bounced off like hitting a stone, this action also made Ying Long discover him, only to see Ying Long flick his tail and he was knocked out and hit the remnant wall, only this blow shattered all the muscles and bones on his body

At this time, the earth suddenly shook violently, and a huge turtle emerged from the dust, but this turtle was more strange that it was standing and walking like a human, and the turtle and the three-headed Ying Dragon fought and attacked each other with thunder and flames, and I don't know how many times the battle and the turtle were killed by the three-headed Ying Dragon, and the three-headed Ying Dragon roared at the sky and spewed flames

Suddenly, the three-headed Ying Long looked at himself, it rushed towards me quickly, looking at the steel knife on the ground, I really couldn't move, and when the three-headed Ying Long got closer, he swallowed me in one bite, Li Yang was frightened and woke up from his dream

He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and there was a sound of raindrops outside the house, Li Yang picked up the cloak and put it on his body and came to the house, the rain was heavy, and the poplars in the yard were also swayed from side to side by the wind, "boom-boom" dozens of lightning bolts suddenly in the sky, eager to tear the sky open, a purple meteor passed slowly over my head, I have seen the meteor either in the sky from left to right, or from right to left, I still see it for the first time

The cold weather made Li Yang not only shiver, so he hurriedly ran back to the house and closed the door, but as soon as he turned around, he saw that the Xuanwu egg on the table had broken the case, and when he got closer, a small blue Xuanwu was lying on all sides in the eggshell
