Xiao Xuanwu held the jade coffin spirit and tried his best to tear off a piece, but because the strength was too big, the small body board followed Gu Yong, and the little head was pulled left and right, and it was really impossible to bite it off, after unremitting efforts, it finally ripped off a piece, Xiao Xuanwu chewed the jade coffin spirit in his mouth as if he was eating jerky, and the small mouth turned over and over and chewed so that it was called a fragrant

After swallowing the jade coffin spirit in its mouth, it bit into the jade coffin spirit on the stone table again, it seems that this jade coffin spirit is quite suitable for its appetite, this time it bites in the lower mouth area is larger than just now, the jade coffin spirit was thrown by Xiao Xuanwu in the mouth is left and right, seeing that it bites so hard, Li Yang wants to help it break the jade coffin spirit into small pieces, so that it does not have to work so hard to eat

But when he picked up the jade coffin, he lifted it up together with Xiao Xuanwu, Xiao Xuanwu bit the jade coffin spirit and refused to let go, and the "squeak" sound in his mouth was quite sharp, what people didn't expect was that this little guy was quite protective of food, and the little guy probably thought that I was going to snatch the jade coffin spirit from its mouth, and refused to stop if I didn't give it food

When Xiao Xuanwu was dragged up, his limbs were still struggling back and forth, and even the little tail was constantly shaking from side to side, looking at Xiao Xuanwu's anxious appearance, Li Yang couldn't help but want to laugh, it is a good thing to be able to eat, as long as he can eat, it means that this little guy can't die, so Li Yang put the jade coffin spirit back on the stone table with Xiao Xuanwu, and then he held the jade coffin spirit with his hand, so that the little guy can bite better

Guanshan Taoist looked at Xiao Xuanwu gnawing jade coffin spirit one after another, not to mention how reluctant he was, there is a kind of Ganoderma lucidum buried in the ground and long, growing on the decaying coffin, so people call it coffin Ganoderma lucidum, which is an extremely precious and rare kind of Ganoderma lucidum, and there have been two legends about the coffin Ganoderma lucidum

This first is to eat too many supplements before life, such as the human body - Ganoderma lucidum - deer antler or something, after the death of the person in the body there are ginseng qi and some impurities, after the burial of the ginseng qi condensed, the body in the coffin will grow a Ganoderma lucidum from the mouth after a long time, and when the coffin decays, it will grow from the head of the coffin to the outside, it is said that the longer the coffin spirit is buried in the bottom, the higher the medicinal value

The second is that after death, there will be a trace of spiritual power still in the body, and this trace of spiritual power will dissipate into a Ganoderma lucidum after a long time after being trapped in the coffin

And this jade coffin spirit is the treasure in the coffin spirit, to put it evilly, this jade coffin spirit is the coffin spirit, the accumulated sucking of the essence of the field has become fine after thousands of years, because it looks like jadeite, it is called the jade coffin spirit, the jade coffin spirit in the hand of Guanshan is Li Yang and the plateau, and they brought it back in the black water corpse coffin array after nine deaths

Folk rumors say that the jade coffin spirit can prolong life - let the seriously ill and dying people come back to life, and they all say that the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch - who dares to leave you to the fifth watch - the jade coffin spirit blocks the road - but the bridge refuses to accept it

Seeing that Xiao Xuanwu finished eating the jade coffin spirit, the face of the Taoist Guanshan Dao was green, and he thought to himself, Little ancestor, don't eat it, this child doesn't pretend to be sick, it eats the jade coffin spirit and is on the stone table, but it crawls around

Li Yang grabbed Xiao Xuanwu from the stone table: What does the Guanshan Dao Master need to refine the Great Jin Dan, just say it, if we don't have it in our hands, we can go outside and buy it

Guanshan: It's the owner

Li Yang: Guanshan Daoist, you sent me some jade coffin spirits

Guanshan was a little reluctant: if the owner feeds this little guy, the ten catties of jade coffin spirit will not last long, and the jade coffin spirit is rare for hundreds of years

Li Yang: Don't worry, I know what to expect, and when the little guy recovers, I'll feed him something else

Guanshan is worried that I will give the jade coffin spirit a disaster: the jade coffin spirit of the owner is a very yin thing, as the so-called thing must be anti-poor Dao worried that eating too much will be bad for it, it is better to feed it so much just now, try to feed it for a few days at the discretion

Li Yang's words about Guanshan are not unreasonable: I'll try to feed them for a few days first

The jade coffin spirit is definitely a rare treasure in the eyes of Guanshan, but in Li Yang's eyes, he is quite suitable for the jade coffin spirit, after all, the jade coffin spirit grows out of the coffin and is related to the dead, he always feels that the jade coffin spirit is a little unlucky, strange and infiltrating, if it weren't for the little Xuanwu who likes to eat the jade coffin spirit, then he won't even touch it, anyway, the little guy can eat, which is a good thing

After dinner, Li Yang and the two ladies sat in a circle around the table, Xiao Xuanwu was on the table, but he was much happier than before, and after playing for a while, Xiao Xuanwu opened his mouth at the people, as long as the little guy opened his mouth, needless to say, he was hungry and wanted to eat, but this time he fed it by twisting the jade coffin spirit into powder and stirring it well in the egg, and the little guy ate one bite after another

After a few days of careful care, Xiao Xuanwu finally recovered, and the small body board was obviously a lot harder than the first few days, Li Yang took Xiao Xuanwu to his chest and walked there and brought it there, the little guy stayed in his arms quite honestly and couldn't crawl around, and when he was fine, he took it out of his arms and posed for a while

As soon as Alan College was handed over, the opening date was set five days later, Alan College did not charge a penny for teaching, and the environment was definitely first-class in the private school, and the opening date must be as many as 128 students who signed up for the college one after another, and the notices of the opening of Alan County and the villages were also posted on the notices of the opening of the school, and it is estimated that there will be more people who will sign up for the college to study in the past few days

Almost all of the books in Taizhou City Bookstore such as poetry classics - myths and stories - military books - music scores - chess scores - astronomy have been moved to Alan Academy, and the pipa-erhu-chime-flute-flute-se-qin-xun-sheng-drum and other musical instruments are readily available in Alan Academy, and qule is an extremely rare course in private schools

Alan Academy is the first academy in the north of Taizhou, this first opening is a major event, Alan County political and business circles attach great importance to this, the county Yamen took the lead in sponsoring 200 taels of silver for the opening of the academy, Alan Chamber of Commerce provided 400 sets of pen, ink and paper inkstones for the academy, ten pairs of chess - ten pairs of Go and some paper for teaching, and Alan Garment Factory provided 500 pieces of gray green gold for the students of the academy, and many students' parents also spontaneously went to the academy to help clean up, Now is the time when everything is ready, just waiting for the auspicious day to start teaching

As the start date of school is getting closer and closer, more and more people come to the college to sign up, the day before the start of school there are already 500 students who come to sign up, but the 6 classrooms in Alan College can only accommodate 300 students, and the extra 200 students where to study has become a tricky problem

Now the only way to solve the shortage of classrooms is to change the row of recess activity rooms on the right side of the academy into classrooms, which can not only solve the problem of insufficient classrooms but also admit 100 more students, so the craftsmen replaced all the facilities in the recess activity room with tables and benches overnight, and the first floor of the second-floor attic in the academy was converted into a recess activity room

As soon as the auspicious time arrives the next day, with the sound of gongs and drums, Alan Academy will officially open, the students who came to study one after another walked into the academy in a neat and orderly manner, and after receiving the youth and school supplies, the gentlemen will divide the students into classes, the academy will divide the students into three categories according to the actual situation, the first category is the students who have never gone to school and do not know how to read, the second category is those who know some words but do not know many poetry allusions, and the third category is that they have gone to private school before and have a certain foundation

The first type of students is divided into the Mongolian class from the basic strokes - literacy teaching, a day is not much to teach 10 words, the second type of students is divided into the Mongolian child class to teach a thousand words - a hundred family names - three character classics and poetry allusions, the third type of students for the Mongolian class to teach the piano - chess - calligraphy - painting - writing poems and lyrics and the way of life, the first day of school is mainly to divide the students into classes, so that the students know that there are those teaching gentlemen in the academy

An autumn rain and a cold, since a few days ago after a rain this day is getting colder day by day, although the sky is sunny but the temperature is really cold, after the fog dissipates in the early morning, it will leave a layer of dew on the weeds, late autumn makes the original green mountains and forests become golden, the branches and leaves will fall from the trees with the autumn wind, and the fallen leaves are accompanied by the cold wind blowing from the side, making people feel a little vicissitudes - a year is going to pass again

However, autumn is also a season of harvesting grain, in the endless rice fields in the north of Taizhou, the eyes are full of intoxicating gold, the rice fields are full of wheat ears with the breeze one after another, looking as if the waves on the sea are beating layer after layer, a bunch of strong wheat ears bend the rice seedlings, this scene needless to say that this year is another harvest year

Autumn harvest is a major event related to the livelihood of more than 70,000 people in the north, in order to ensure that the autumn harvest can be carried out smoothly in the villages, the Alan County militia specially gave half of the township Yong half a month of agricultural leave, the main task of these township Yong is to help the farmers in the north to harvest grain, in order to prevent thieves from causing disasters, the remaining 3,000 township warriors are distributed in various crossings between the fields in the north with a team of 100 people

In previous years, this season was also a high incidence period for the pirates to plunder the coastal areas, so the coastal defense battalion strengthened its vigilance in the coastal areas of Lanxi Village and Xilan Village, and the peasant households in the fields were busy in a tight and orderly manner, and they had to finish harvesting the grain in the field before the frost, and the grain had to be dried as soon as possible after harvesting, or it would be easy to cover when it was not stored, and it would snow that day if the frost was not even maintained

As long as the grain is covered by the snow, then it can only be kept at home to eat or feed the livestock, the rice that has been covered by the snow is dark yellow, and the quality is not good, and it is easy to cover, such food is not more expensive than bran, and even sometimes has a price with bran, who doesn't want to earn a few more money a year of hard work

Although Li Yang is now one of the few wealthy households in northern Taizhou, he knows that every penny in his hand is not blown by the wind, and at this season, he is busy harvesting grain from his own fields like most peasant households, but the more than 32,000 mu of land in the Li family manor is far from enough to be harvested by the three families, and he has to hire nearly 100 peasant households to help him harvest the rice

The brothers also took a sickle to harvest rice in the field, but after a while, Li Yang felt that his waist and eyes seemed to be swollen and a little painful, and he also told himself that he hadn't worked for too long, and he had to hold on for a while when he was tired, but after a while, he felt that his two knees also began to hurt, and his back hurt the most, and he couldn't breathe

He really couldn't help the pain, so he stood up and slipped straight back, ah, the air is so fresh - the world is so beautiful, the whole person relaxed in an instant, and after a while, he didn't feel cold, but it was a little hot, gritting his teeth and holding on for a while, the back waist was not as bad as the pain just now, as long as his back hurt, he stood up and rested for a while

At noon, everyone sat in a circle on the ground, you don't see that there are only some steamed buns - dry food and a few simple pickles for lunch, but everyone eats that if you want a fragrant wine, you can relieve all the fatigue of a sip of wine, and after you are full, you will lie down on the rice and stretch a lazy waist, not to mention how energetic

Li Yang took the little Xuanwu out of his arms and thought about it for a while, but as soon as he took out the little Xuanwu, it opened his mouth at me, and I didn't bring food to the little guy when I came out to work, and when he saw that there was a steamed bun in the basket, he grabbed a piece of it, and put the steamed bun on the side of the little Xuanwu's mouth, and bit it, and when the steamed bun was eaten, it opened its mouth again, and the bowl of steamed buns was half made by it, and it was estimated that the little guy may be really hungry

When I got home at night, I didn't want to do anything when I lay down on the bed, the joints of my fingers and the two shoulders were also sore and sore, especially when I saw the wind at the joints, I was attentive to the pain, the pain was like being stung by a bee, and I stayed for a long time

After 8 days of hard work, more than 270,000 acres of fields in the north have been harvested, every household is quiet in the joy of harvest, this year the farmers in the north can live a beautiful winter, these days people are busy drying the rice that has just been harvested, and so on after the rice is dried, put it in the rice warehouse, this year's work is completed

I have been busy for a few days, and today I can finally take a good rest at home, Li Yang was lying on the rocking chair in the yard covered with a small quilt and basking in the sun, he took the little Xuanwu in his hand and swung it up, the little guy has obviously been more energetic than before these days, and his size is also a little bigger than some time ago, and the color on his body looks lighter than some time ago

Li Yang stroked Xiao Xuanwu with his hand, and not only muttered in his mouth: Little guy, you, you are hard with my life

At this time, Li Song walked in from outside, and he saw me lying on the rocking chair: Boss, you haven't recovered yet

Li Yang: How can you recover so quickly, it is estimated that it will take 3-4 days to slow down, and you should take a good rest in the past few days and don't be too tired

Li Song: I'm used to it, I can't stay if you let me stay

Li Yang: That's also your own idea

Li Song: Boss, you don't have to worry about me, if I'm tired, I'll rest for a day

Li Yang: Second child, do you have a pleasant girl, if there is, let's find someone to talk to the matchmaker, you are not too young, it is time to find someone to take care of you

Li Songrao turned his head and showed a silly smile: Boss, I want to wait two years to get married, I plan to take advantage of these two years to expand the business of the Alan Chamber of Commerce, if I have a girl I like, I will definitely sue you

Li Yang: Our mother is getting older and older year by year, and your marriage with the third child has always been a heart disease of your mother, so you have to hurry up about marrying a wife

Li Song: The boss only met a girl I liked, and I got married immediately

Li Yang: After the matter at hand in the past few days, the second child, you and I are going to the Manjiang Capital Department, and we will go to propose relatives to the third child

Li Song: This relationship is a good thing, the mother is most worried about the third child not being able to marry a daughter-in-law, if the third child marries a daughter-in-law, then the mother will be happy, just take advantage of the third child's marriage to our Li family Chongchong Chong

Li Yang nodded: Our brothers will try to do this next year, and the second brother will take advantage of the next few days for you to return the money on hand, the object of this proposal is a big family in the capital of Manjiang, in terms of dowry, our brothers have to be generous, you also know that the third brother is different from ordinary people, so we have to give a little more blood

Li Song: I understand the boss, so how much should we prepare for the dowry

Li Yang stretched out five fingers towards Li Song: How can I get 50,000 taels of silver

Li Song was surprised when he heard this: I need so much silver, the boss, this money is not a small amount for the Alan Chamber of Commerce, you see if this is okay, use a branch of silk-cloth-tea-jewelry, jewelry and daily necessities as a dowry, although they are all 50,000 taels of silver, but in this way, we can save some money, and it is more grand to look at it like this

Li Yang: Then you prepare 30,000 taels of silver like this, and the remaining 20,000 taels will be according to the method you just said

Li Song: I'll come to Zhang Le, the boss has finished harvesting rice this year, the manor has collected a total of 134,400 quintals of grain, and 120,960 quintals of grain are left after paying one percent of the taxes, and 80,960 quintals of grain that can be used after 40,000 quintals of rations are removed, plus 55,000 quintals of surplus grain from last year, we now have a total of 135,960 quintals of grain in our hands

Li Yang: If you have food at home, you don't have to panic

Li Song: Boss, are we still holding a large-scale sacrificial event in northern Taizhou this year, as in previous years?

Li Yang sat up from the rocking chair: Of course it has to be done, I have already asked the head of the mountain to calculate, he said that the first day of October is a good day for sacrifices, and the time is 10 days later

Li Song: Boss, what do you need to prepare for this year's sacrifice, I will prepare what I need in the past few days

Li Yang: Second brother, you have too many things on hand, so let the head of the mountain view go to Zhang Le for the sacrificial matter

Li Song nodded slightly: It's okay

Alan County has to hold a sacrificial activity every year before the spring ploughing - after the autumn harvest, begging the heavens and the gods to bless Alan County with good weather and all things are healthy, and the people who live here will also worship the ancestors on this day, these two sacrifices are second only to the spring ploughing and the autumn harvest of the two major events, worshiping the gods is a way for the people to place their hopes, and then the prefect - the guard general - the county and some squires will also be present to participate in the sacrifice activities
