Sending Li Daozong away, Lu Chen returned to the study, sat on the chair and lit a cigarette, took a puff, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "This old Li Tou is really calculating!" ”

Fortunately, Lu Chen himself is in this study, if others hear that Lu Chen actually calls the current emperor "Old Li Tou", they may not know what kind of uproar they will make!

Lu Chen shook his head and straightened out his thoughts, in fact, although Lu Chen was unhappy with being so "calculated" by Li Yuan, on the other hand, Lu Chen's "Shengshi Group" could be regarded as being recognized by the imperial court in disguise, and Lu Chen could let go of his hands and feet to do some things.

In a few succession, Lu Chen is basically soaking in the study except for eating and sleeping, Liu Jing and Su Chang are even afraid that Lu Chen will be sick, Lu Chen has always been in the image of the two of them, that is to move around, rarely stay in the study for such a long time.

"Dog, your grandfather won't hold back the problem, right?" Looking at the closed door of the study, Su Chang, sitting in the wing, put down the books in her hand, looked in the direction of the study through the window, and muttered with some concern.

"No!" Liu Jing, who was practicing calligraphy, replied without raising his head, "Grandpa should be designing new things, haven't you noticed that Xu Gaofeng has made a lot of new furniture in the woodworking workshop recently?" There are also a lot of horse-drawn carriages to bring all kinds of wood to the workshop! Liu Jing practiced calligraphy while talking to Su Chang.

"Yes! It's still a bit of a mess out there! Su Chang turned his head, looked at Liu Jing, who was writing seriously, and said with his chin propped up.

"You made a mistake!" Su Chang, who was holding her chin, reminded Liu Jing.

"Which one?" Liu Jing stopped his pen, looked at Su Chang and asked.

"That's it!" Su Chang stretched out his hand and pointed to a word on the paper, "There is no such apostrophe here, and the order of your strokes is also wrong!" Su Chang got up directly, turned to Liu Jing's side, picked up Liu Jing's brush, attached himself to the paper, and rewrote the words that Liu Jing had just written wrongly.

When Su Chang was writing, she was very close to Liu Jing, looking at Su Chang's soft face and the fragrance on the girl's body, Liu Jing couldn't help blushing a little and breathing rapidly.

"Practice calligraphy! Look at what I'm doing! After finishing writing, Su Chang suddenly noticed Liu Jing's strange appearance, directly reached out and patted Liu Jing's head gently, and then left the wing room in a hurry.

"Practice words, practice words! Why are you hitting me! Liu Jing rubbed the top of Su Chang's head, and then muttered, looking at Su Chang's departing back through the window, Liu Jing couldn't help but laugh.

"That's pretty much it!" After Lu Chen finished drawing the last design drawing, he stretched his waist directly, stood up, opened the door of the study, and as soon as he opened the door, a cold wind blew, which suddenly made Lu Chen feel a lot more energetic.

"Dog!" Lu Chen stood at the door of the study and called out to Liu Jing directly.

"Hey!" Liu Jing answered loudly and ran out of the room.

"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Liu Jing came to Lu Chen and stood still, and asked after Lu Chen gave a salute.

"Give these to Xu Gaofeng! Then let Lao Du come over! Lu Chen handed the stack of design drawings in his hand to Liu Jing and commanded.

"Yes!" Liu Jing answered, turned around and ran out.

It didn't take long for Lu Chen to drink two sips of tea in the front hall, Liu Jing took Du Chengze to the front hall, entered the front hall, and Du Chengze gave Lu Chen a gift.

"Lao Du, sit!" Lu Chen looked at the chair on the side and motioned for Du Chengze to sit down with his eyes.

"Grandpa Xie!" After Du Chengze thanked Lu Chen, he sat on the chair next to him.

"Have you sent out all the things that should be distributed in Zhuangzi?" Lu Chen put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Du Chengze and asked.

"Back to Grandpa!" Du Chengze arched his hand at Lu Chen, "It is being distributed, after all, there are many households and craftsmen in this Zhuangzi, and with the settlement of the family of Beiweiwei and those craftsmen, the population has increased a lot, so the things to be distributed are not a number!" Du Chengze said very seriously.

"Hmm!" Lu Chen nodded, as Lu Chen's stall became bigger and bigger, the population of Lujiazhuang was also increasing, but outside Zhuangzi there were still more than 2,000 reserve army camps with back guards, with the training and selection of the reserve army, the number of back guards has increased from fifty to five hundred.

"By the way, what's the current situation in that piece of land in the back mountain?" Lu Chen remembered the location of the poisonous salt mine in the back mountain, although it was a poisonous salt mine, but there was also a need for salt craftsmen and guards to be stationed in the future, so during this time, although the land could not be leveled, it had been developing the land area and disposing of some dead trees on the land.

"Now it's about thirty-three acres of mountainous land!" Du Chengze took out a book from his arms, and after flipping through a few pages on it, he reported to Lu Chen.

"Thirty-three acres, isn't it..."Lu Chen touched the beard on his chin and muttered, "Let's do this a year ago!" More than 30 acres of mountainous land should be enough for early use, and when the spring of the next year begins, the ground will be leveled and the house will be built! Lu Chen pondered for a moment.

"Yes!" Hearing Lu Chen's order, Du Chengze took out a charcoal bar directly from his arms and began to write it down in his notebook.

"Huh?" Seeing Du Chengze actually writing with charcoal strips, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, but looking at Du Chengze's way of writing with charcoal strips, it was still the posture of holding the pen with a brush.

"Lao Du, aren't you tired of writing like this?" Lu Chen was a little speechless as he watched Lao Du write with charcoal strips on his book, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Back to Grandpa, there is no way to do this! It's freezing in the cold, if you write with ink outside, you don't write a few words, the ink freezes, and you have no choice but to write with this! Du Chengze smiled bitterly and explained to Lu Chen.

"Wouldn't it be easier to write like that?" Lu Chen took the charcoal strip directly from Du Chengze's hand, and wrote a few words on Du Chengze's book with the way of holding the pen in hard pen calligraphy, and Lu Chen's speed of writing these words was obviously much faster than Du Chengze's writing just now.

Seeing Lu Chen's way of holding the pen, Du Chengze was shocked, because Lu Chen obviously subverted the traditional way of holding the pen and created a new way of holding the pen.

"Come on, Lao Du, you try!" Lu Chen didn't care about Du Chengze's shocked expression, and directly stuffed the charcoal strip directly into Du Chengze's hand.

"Oh! Oh! Being stuffed by Lu Chen like this, Du Chengze reacted, hurriedly grabbed the charcoal strip that Lu Chen stuffed into his hand, and then under Lu Chen's guidance, he learned to write like Lu Chen just now, and wrote a few words.

At the beginning, Du Chengze's writing was still quite laborious, and even scratched a few pieces of paper at one point, after all, he had just switched from one way of holding a pen to another, and it was inevitable that he would not be adaptable, but gradually, Du Chengze obviously wrote smoothly.

"Not bad!" Seeing that Du Chengze had already started writing quite smoothly, Lu Chen nodded.

"Grandpa, you've created a new way of writing!" Du Chengze put down the charcoal bar in his hand and bowed to Lu Chen, "Those students who can't afford pen and ink can also practice writing in this way!" You are simply the benefactor of those students! Du Chengze said with some feelings.

"Lao Du, what you said is a little too much!" Hearing Du Chengze's words, Lu Chen hurriedly waved his hand again and again, "But this charcoal strip is used up, and my hands are dirty!" Lu Chen glanced at the charcoal strip in Du Chengze's hand, as well as his own pitch-black fingers, and Du Chengze's black fingers, Lu Chen frowned.

"There it is!" Lu Chen took the wet hand towel handed over by Liu Jing on the side, wiped his hands and said, "We can make graphite pens!" Lu Chen said with some excitement.

"Graphite pens? What's that? Hearing Lu Chen's words, Du Chengze asked curiously.

"This graphite looks like carbonite, but there is a difference between the two, graphite can leave a mark on paper, but charcoal can't, but both look about the same, by the way, you can let the craftsmen in the mine pay attention to whether there is graphite!" Lu Chen explained to Du Chengze that Lu Chen felt that he was too smart, and with graphite, he could make a "pencil".

Naturally, there are pencils in the base, but the pencils are not rich, they are all left over from the barracks, and they are not a large number of reserves.

"Yes! People are here's going to be informed! Lu Chen's side, this side Du Chengze wrote down in his book, and when Lu Chen finished, Du Chengze bowed down directly.

"Hmmm! Go ahead! Lu Chen nodded, and after Du Chengze saluted Lu Chen, he left the front hall and went to inform the people below.

"Grandpa, someone in the palace is here!" Just when Lu Chen was drinking tea and feeling that he was too talented to chat, Su Chang walked in from outside the front hall.

"Someone from the palace? Whose people? Lu Chen was slightly stunned, put down the teacup and looked at Su Chang and asked, There are only three days left before the Yuan Day, why did the palace send people here at this time? Didn't you see Li Yuan on the first day?

"It's Concubine De's person!" Su Chang came to Lu Chen and said in a low voice.

As soon as he heard the word "Concubine De", Lu Chen directly frowned.

"Can I not see my father?" Lu Chen looked at Su Chang and asked.

"I'm afraid this won't work, after all, how can she also be Concubine De's mother, if the grandfather avoids it, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, and besides, Concubine De is strong in the palace, and the princess is still living in the palace..."

"Okay! Let the man in! As soon as he heard Su Chang mention Li Yanjun, Lu Chen could only say helplessly.
