"Thank you." Nan Liujing returned the salute to the four people.

Qi Mingxu smiled heartily: "Little Brother Nan, it would be a foreigner to say thank you." ”

"I said the wrong thing." Nan Liujing hurriedly admitted his mistake, and then changed his words, "But in this way, Second Brother Li, Third Brother Jiang and Fourth Brother Qi also have to admit their mistakes to me." ”

Jiang Ding was stunned: "Why?" ”

It's good, and he didn't do anything wrong.

Li Guanqi explained: "Little Brother Nan thinks that we call him Nan Xiaogongzi too foreign. ”

Jiang Ding scratched his head and said happily: "I thought something was wrong." When you are wise, you like to beat around the bush. ”

Qi Si was helpless: "Yes." After I admit my mistake to Brother Nan, do I have to give you a gift by the way? ”

Jiang Ding waved his palm and said magnanimously: "That's not necessary, just remember to punish yourself with three cups tonight." ”

Qi Si was angry and funny.

Jiang Ding asked: "Little Brother Nan, do you have any wine in this courtyard?" Today is a rare good day, I have to take the opportunity to drink a few more glasses, I am afraid that I will miss the business, I haven't drunk in two months. ”

Gui Sheng pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm so happy today, the wine is definitely enough." A few sons, Lord Qu, it's not early, you see, if the conversation is almost over, let's move to the main hall for dinner. ”

This dinner was prepared by Gui Sheng himself, and the dishes were very sumptuous.

Nanliujing had never drunk wine before, so this time he accompanied everyone to take a sip, and then replaced the wine with tea.

After being full of wine and food, Nanliujing also asked his subordinates to send a box of golden cakes.

The golden cakes are neatly stacked together, each with a lot of meat and thick meat, and the appearance makes people look at the index finger.

Nan Liujing pushed the food box in front of Qi Mingxu and the others: "There are no persimmons left this season, so I can only take a step back and invite a few brothers to eat golden cakes." ”

Qi Mingxu reached out and took one: "Is there anything special about this?" ”

Nan Liujing smiled: "There are indeed some exquisiteness. ”

But he didn't go any further.

Qi Mingxu thoughtfully didn't ask again, just lowered his head and took a big bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I've heard of this thing, it first became popular in Kyoto, and it started to spread to Jinling last year, but I haven't eaten it, and I didn't expect it to taste so good."

This kind of food, which is as sweet as honey and soft as cotton, and seems to melt in the mouth in an instant when you bite open, has a fatal attraction for people who rarely eat sugar in this era.

Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si also stretched out their hands.

In a short time, they ate up the golden cake in the food box.

Nan Liujing closed the empty food box and was just about to speak-

[Congratulations to Nanliujing for unlocking the hidden main quest ......]

[Congratulations to Nanliujing for unlocking the hidden main quest ......]

[Congratulations to Nan Liujing for completing the hidden main quest five: Gain Qi Mingxu's allegiance.]

Reward a set of Ancient Chemical Fundamentals and 100 points. ]

[Congratulations to Nan Liujing for completing the hidden main quest six: gaining the allegiance of Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si.]

Reward a set of Ancient Agricultural Development and 100 points. ]

Nan Liujing's eyes narrowed subconsciously, and he immediately changed his words: "A few brothers have drunk a lot of wine, it's better to go back and rest early." I let the kitchen cook the decanter soup, and you remember to drink it before going to bed. ”

Seeing that Qi Mingxu was walking a little staggeringly, Nan Liujing asked Gui Sheng to send them back.

He handed over the lantern handed by his servant to Qu Jianbai, and said, "Mr. Qu go slowly", and when Qu Jianbai's figure disappeared from his sight, Nan Liujing took a lantern and walked back to the house with the lantern in person.

Thin snow falls on your shoulders and melts at room temperature. Nan Liujing untied the big water, changed into light clothes, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of warm water.

Bowed his head and drank two sips of water to moisten his throat, and as soon as Nan Liujing put down the teacup, Yao Rong asked him if he wanted to check the reward.

Nan Liujing's thoughts were interrupted, he thought about it, nodded and said okay.

Yao Rong directly transmitted the book to him.

Both sets of books use the printing methods of this era, and the paper is not smooth enough to the touch, but many of the things recorded in the books are slightly ahead of the times.

For example, in the set of "Ancient Chemical Basics", Nan Liujing casually flipped through a few pages and saw the production methods of paper, soap, cement, glass and other things.

However, what Nanliujing values more is the set of "Ancient Agricultural Development".

It mentions a lot of useful agricultural knowledge, and also comes with a lot of drawings for the production of agricultural tools, and even involves the management of the Yellow River and the construction of water conservancy projects......

Even if Nan Liujing didn't know much about agriculture, he knew that in this era of starvation at every turn, the weight of the latter was too heavy.

If we can understand the contents of the books and translate them into practical results, the production of food in various places will surely increase rapidly.

For every pound of food, one less person may starve to death.

He took a deep breath and closed the book in front of him, which was as thick as a brick: "Teacher, why haven't I heard you mention these two sets of books before. ”

[Before you gave it, you also have a hard time using it.] ]

You can't always ask Liang Guangyu to help you with everything.

Liang Guangyu was the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, not a businessman, let alone a secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

[In fact, many things recorded in books have already been figured out in this era, but these things have not been popularized, let alone implemented. ]

Thinking of the terrible administrative ability of the Daye Imperial Court, the extremely chaotic administrative structure, and the treasury that was completely unable to make ends meet, Nan Liujing suddenly had nothing to say.

If you don't talk about the distance, let's talk about the governance of the Yellow River.

In these years, the Yellow River often broke out floods, and the people in the middle and lower reaches were miserable, but the imperial court never thought of paying for the Yellow River at all!

Without money, no matter how perfect the governance plan is, you can only stare dryly.

"I still have to find a way to make money." Nan Liujing said in a low voice.

The inefficient administrative ability and the chaotic administrative system are not something he can change at this stage, but there is still a way to make money.

Thinking of this, Nan Liujing's eyes fell on the set of "Ancient Chemical Fundamentals".

Yao Rong reminded: [It's not early, you hurry up and turn off the lights and rest, be careful to stay up late and not grow tall.] ]

Nan Liujing subconsciously put his hand in front of his forehead and gestured, emphasizing: "Teacher, I am already taller than my peers. ”

[I could have been half a head taller than my peers, but I could only slap my peers higher after staying up late.] ]

[Things are never busy, and books can never be finished.] As a politician, it is very advantageous to live a long life. If you come up with a particularly good policy, but you don't live to see it carried out thoroughly, do you want to expect your successor to act exactly what you want? ]

[Look at Ji Yushan, all his political enemies back then are dead, only he is alive and well. ]

"Being old and not dying is a thief, Ji Yushan should have died a long time ago."

Nan Liujing complained, but he still obediently cleaned up the things on the table.

After washing, Nanliu Jingping lay on the bed, closed his eyes and began to review today's day's life.

Just as he reviewed the two main quests, Nan Liujing opened his eyes suddenly. He forgot to ask the teacher about something.

However, thinking of Yao Rong's words, Nan Liujing still suppressed these questions first, and it was not until the end of the morning exercise the next day that Nan Liujing spoke: "I have a few questions I want to ask the teacher. ”

Yao Rong smiled: [You say.] ]

Nan Liujing re-read the specific introduction of the main quest 5 and the main quest 6: "These two quests, why are they hidden quests?" ”

[In my plan, there are no two tasks.] But you did it unexpectedly, so I think you should be rewarded. ]

Nan Liujing considered the words before he said cautiously: "The third main task released by the teacher is to ask Master Liang to take the initiative to accept me as an apprentice; The fourth main quest is to make Mr. Qu loyal to me......"

"Does this mean that in the teacher's mind, subduing Big Brother Qi is as important as subduing Mr. Qu?"

[Oops-]

The system exclaimed.

It is worthy of being able to fool Qi Mingxu and their little foxes, this is about to become a sperm.

"Although this analogy is a bit rude, if you use Mr. Qu as an analogy, the weight of a big brother Qi is equivalent to the weight of a Mr. Qu."

"The weight of Second Brother Li, Third Brother Jiang and Fourth Brother Qi together is also equivalent to the weight of a Mr. Qu."

"But why?"

Nan Liujing frowned, this conclusion was that he was right.

But he was puzzled by the conclusion he had deduced.

He recognized Qi Mingxu's talents and admired Qi Mingxu's character, but what was the reason why the teacher valued Qi Mingxu so much?

Yao Rong said with interest: [What speculation do you have in mind. ]

Nan Liujing shook his head: "I can only think of one reason - the teacher is very optimistic about Brother Qi's future." ”

"The teacher feels that Brother Qi's achievements and impact in the future may not be smaller than that of Mr. Qu."

[I-go-]

The system was shocked.

It is worthy of being cultivated by its host, and this acuity and observation are simply amazing.

Yao Rong didn't refute, but only asked: [In addition to these, do you see anything?] ]

Nan Liujing tilted his head slightly, which was his usual posture when thinking: "One more point." ”

"The teacher just said that you didn't plan to post these two tasks. And these two tasks are indeed hidden. ”

"Can I think that these two tasks are good for me, but not necessary?"

"I met Brother Qi and them, and let Brother Qi use them for me, that is of course the best. But if I can't meet them, or can't make them use me, that's what the teacher expected? ”

The system is speechless.

Only Yao Rong continued to respond to Nanliujing: [Your analysis is all right. ]

Nan Liujing exhaled and was finally able to give a final conclusion with certainty.

"It seems that in the teacher's prediction, Brother Qi and I are likely to be in a hostile state. It's just that by chance, I became good friends and brothers with them. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, even Yao Rong began to be silent.

After a moment, Yao Rong chuckled: [If I tell you now that Qi Mingxu, Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si are not credible, and they will become your biggest enemies in the future, what will you do?] ]

Nanliujing was stunned.

Yao Rong emphasized: [I want to know the first thought in your heart.] ]

"I'll ask the teacher why."

[I can't reveal the reason to you, only the result.] ]

[Don't you trust my judgment?] ]

Nan Liujing pursed his lips: "Of course I trust the teacher's judgment. ”

"Because I know that teachers don't make any judgments lightly. I also knew that the teacher wouldn't make it so difficult for me. ”

Yao Rong laughed: [Cunning.] ]

And then asked: [Why is it difficult?] ]

"Nothing will happen in the future. Can we judge a person by what he will do in the future? Maybe when he walks on that path in the future, he will also be involuntarily. ”

"What's more, I believe in Brother Qi's character. As long as I live up to them and treat them as friends and brothers, they will never abandon me. ”

"If they still stand on the opposite side of me in the future, I don't think it's necessarily their fault, it's more likely that I, or the world, have a problem."

After a pause, Nan Liujing raised three fingers: "The teacher asked me three questions, and I answered them all." Can the teacher answer all three of my questions in the same way? ”

[Yes.] ]

Nan Liujing put away a finger: "Doesn't the teacher trust my judgment?" ”

Yao Rong: "......"

Yao Rong knew that she had fallen into Nan Liujing's trap, but she could only answer truthfully: [Of course I trust. ]

Nan Liujing put away another finger: "Now my judgment contradicts the teacher's judgment." I gave an explanation for my judgment, but the teacher did not explain the teacher's judgment. So whose judgment should we listen to this time? ”

[…… Listen to you. ]

"Then that's just the last question."

Nan Liujing shook his last finger in the air, and the corners of his lips curved slightly. Obviously proud, but still try to restrain himself, try to show an understatement posture.

"Teacher, you said, Brother Qi, they are so powerful, if I give them "Ancient Chemical Fundamentals" and "Ancient Agricultural Development", a few years later, can they give me a huge surprise?"

"I remember that Second Brother Li was very fond of arithmetic, and Third Brother Jiang was particularly interested in carpentry."

Yao Rong affirmed: [Yes.] ]

[Congratulations, Liujing, you have the heart of a king.] ]

Nan Liujing's eyes were slightly bent, and he smiled as cunning as a fox: "Thank you, teacher, for your compliment." ”

This comment is not light. So teacher, can I get any more rewards for my good performance? ”

He rubbed his hands and said frantically: "Doing business requires capital, and I may still lack a little start-up capital...... Hey, that's worrying. ”

Yao Rong looked at the young man in the mirror who was clearly coquettish with her, and smiled: [Then reward one hundred taels of gold.] ]

In the next few days, Nanliujing went to chat with Qi Mingxu and them when he had nothing to do, and successfully figured out what Qi Mingxu was good at, what they were interested in, and what their general plans for the future were.

This morning, when Qi Mingxu and the others woke up, Nan Liujing had already finished his morning exercise and was having breakfast in the main hall.

When Qi Mingxu and the others freshened up and came to the main hall, Nan Liujing was already ready to leave to find Qu Jianbai for class.

It was busy until the evening, and Nanliujing finally stopped to rest.

This was the case for several days on end.

Qi Mingxu saw it in their eyes and admired it in their hearts.

Qi Mingxu said: "The little brother Nan is younger than us, but he is harder than us. ”

Li Guanqi and Qi Si both chimed in.

Even Jiang Ding, who is usually the roughest, was ashamed: "We said that we would stay and help the little brother Nan, but after so many days, the little brother Nan didn't have a place to get us." Rather, we are eating and drinking and using his ......."

Qi Mingxu thought so.

He is not the kind of character who is cheeky and takes advantage of the endless, in his opinion, Nan Liujing provides them with such good treatment, they have to make achievements and be worthy of these treatments, otherwise he has a guilty conscience.

Under the leadership of Qi Mingxu, the four of them came to Nanliujing's study.

The first thing Qi Mingxu said was: "Little Brother Nan, we all understand your intentions. ”

Nanliujing: ?

I don't seem to get it.

Qi Mingxu took the initiative to ask Nanliujing to arrange work for them.

Simple, easy, neither.

Be sure to arrange for them to be complex, difficult, and able to reflect their value.

Nan Liujing was very moved: "This ...... How embarrassing is that. ”

Jiang Ding waved his hand and said unhappily: "Hey, we don't like to hear what Little Brother Nan said." ”

Li Guanqi also shook his head and disagreed: "Look, you are out again." ”

"Yes." Qi Si deliberately provoked, "Do you look down on us and think that we are not up to those jobs?" ”

Nan Liujing was very embarrassed: "No, I definitely don't mean to look down on you." ”

He was just too optimistic about Qi Mingxu and them, so he was so surprised.

Qi Mingxu pressed his palms on the table, the sun fell on his side face, light and dark were staggered, and he was full of spirit: If there is anything difficult for the little brother Nan, just tell us. We will try to make a difference and prove to everyone that you are not looking at the wrong person and trusting the wrong person. ”

After ten breaths –

The high-spirited on Qi Mingxu's face was replaced by embarrassment.

Li Guanqi wanted to slap himself hard.

Jiang Ding would rather listen to more words that he didn't like to hear.

Qi Si felt that he might not really be able to do the job.

Because at the moment when Qi Mingxu's words fell, Nan Liujing pointed to the four stacks of books not far away, and said happily to the four of them: "These books are specially prepared by me for a few brothers. Will the brothers be able to read and remember the book within three months? ”

Silent.

Or silence.

The silence of the scumbag was deafening.

Nan Liujing's eyes showed curiosity: "Is there any difficulty?" ”

He was concerned: "If you have any difficulties, if you find it difficult, just communicate with me." ”

Scum Foursome: "......"

Can we tell you, do we faint the words and the books?

It's a pity that the bold words just now were said too early, and it was a little late to take it back at this time.

"What kind of work is this?" Qi Mingxu squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.

He shook his shoulders, his face blushed, and he forced out a smile, repeating the classic quote again.

"Little Brother Nan, we all understand your intentions."

After a pause, Qi Mingxu added: "But such a heart, we can't accept it with peace of mind." ”

"That's right."

Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si nodded frantically, and couldn't agree more.

This kind of heart is too heavy.

Nan Liujing let out an "ah" and subconsciously said: "These books are very important to me, the content of the books cannot be revealed at will, and they must be studied by the most trusted people......

Nan Liujing lowered his head, a little lost, but he still beat his spirit, not wanting Qi Mingxu and them to feel embarrassed: "I also understand the intentions of several people......

Can't disclose...... The most trusted people......

Looking at the young man's eyebrows and eyes, which had always been radiant, dyed with a dull color, Qi Mingxu's conscience was very painful.

The words were spoken by themselves, and the faces were slapped by themselves.

It is really a sin that they raised the expectations of the little brother Nan and disappointed the little brother again.

Qi Mingxu turned his head and asked Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si with his eyes: What now?

Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si: ......

They don't know.

Nan Liujing thoughtfully changed the topic: "By the way, you guys come here at this hour, you must not have lunch yet, don't talk about those unhappy things, I'll let the kitchen serve the food, and we will have a good meal." ”

At this time, as long as you follow Nanliujing's words, you can get rid of the embarrassment. But...... But......

Qi Mingxu gritted his teeth fiercely, and actually said a taste of sacrificing his life for righteousness: "Who else can Brother Nan trust besides a few of us?" I read this book. ”

His father broke something that five sticks didn't do, and the little brother Nan did.

Nan Liujing raised his eyebrows slightly, a little moved, and a little hesitant: "Brother Qi, you don't have to be so reluctant to ......"

Qi Mingxu didn't want Nan Liujing to feel guilty, so he immediately adjusted his expression: "No, it's not reluctant at all. ”

Qi Si wiped his face with his hand: "I have also read this book." ”

He is the smartest of the brothers, and the eldest brother has seen it, so he can't say it if he doesn't look at it.

Li Guanqi silently raised his hand.

He went to school for two years when he was a child, and he knew more words than the fourth. The fourth brother is on, how can he, the second brother, be cowardly.

Jiang Ding: ?

No, you all changed your words and are going to be the most trusted person of Little Brother Nan.

If I don't change my words, then I won't be excluded from the ranks of "the most trusted person of Nanxiao Brother???

Jiang Ding glared at the three brothers who were not righteous, and then turned his head to look at Nanliujing.

Nan Liujing said softly: "Third Brother Jiang is a craftsman, and it is normal for him to not like to read, if he feels embarrassed......

"No way!" Jiang Ding clenched his fist with his right hand, smashed it on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "The door between brothers is to advance and retreat together!" Lao Tzu has nothing else, just this body of righteousness! ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ding also glanced at the three brothers meaningfully.

The three brothers looked left, right, and up, but they just didn't look at him anyway.

Jiang Ding was so angry that he became more and more open-minded: "Little Brother Nan, you say, do you want us to learn the same as that Lao Shizi, or do you want us to learn what kind of books and what scriptures?" ”

"No, it's not." Nan Liujing smiled slightly and explained, "Those four stacks of books were collected by all my means. ”

"Didn't Brother Qi always admire Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty and want to be a general like Guo Ziyi."

"So I prepared a set of military books for Brother Qi, many of which have been lost in the world. I also hope that Brother Qi will study hard and let the glory of these military books reappear. ”

Qi Mingxu: !

He casually mentioned it once, but Little Brother Nan remembered it in his heart.

"Second Brother Li likes arithmetic and has his own set of business experience, but unfortunately, one does not have enough capital, and the other does not have the protection of power."

"In this set of books, there are detailed descriptions of how soap is made, how to fire glass, and even cement, which is unheard of in the world."

"I thought, when Second Brother Li masters the methods in the book and can make those strange things, I will take out all my savings to open a shop and let Second Brother Li take care of these businesses."

Li Guanqi: !!

His ambitions, his ambitions, it turns out that in this world, there are really people who can understand.

Not only understands, but also silently plans so many things.

If he hadn't come over today to ask, if he hadn't finally changed his mind and agreed, would he never have known about it?

"Isn't Third Brother Jiang good at carpentry work, it just so happens that these books I found have a lot of drawings of farm tools, weapons and instruments."

"If Sange Jiang can master the drawings above, maybe we can make the real thing, which will benefit the country and the people."

Jiang Ding: !!

How did he get into the mouth of the little brother Nan and become as big a hero in the play?

"And Fourth Brother Qi."

"Those books were not picked by me, but by Mr. Qu. Reading these books, he says, will help you further develop your potential. ”

"I thought, after you and Brother Qi finish reading the book, I will send you to the Praetorian Guard on an errand. At that time, you will follow Liang Guangyu, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard. ”

Qi Si: !!!

Wait, the surprise came too suddenly.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

The more Qi Mingxu listened, the more difficult it was to restrain the joy in his heart.

Nanliujing's arrangement can be described as comprehensive, completely taking care of their interests and abilities, as long as they do what Nanliujing said, it is definitely not difficult to get ahead.

"If you had told us earlier, we wouldn't have ......"

Qi Mingxu hurriedly swallowed back his words and continued: "Forget it, it's all over." Three months, little brother Nan, don't worry, we will definitely read and remember the content of the book within three months! ”

Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si also didn't have a second word.

Little Brother Nan did this for them, there is nothing to say.

If they don't work hard, they really don't know what to do.

Qi Mingxu/Li Guanqi/Jiang Ding/Qi Si: Anyway, I'm not the only one who suffers!

There is no end to learning, and the pain is boundless, but when I think of someone to suffer with me, I suddenly feel that my mood is open.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Mingxu and the four of them left with the book.

Tranquility was restored in the study.

Nan Liujing walked to the window, pushed open the wooden window, and the bright sunlight hit him full of arms.

The sycamores in the courtyard are dead in spring, and the birds that have disappeared for a winter reappear.

The four birds circled in mid-air, chirping and chirping as if they were communicating.

Finally, they all landed on the sycamore branches.

Nan Liujing turned back and came back to the window with a small plate of pastries, intending to feed the four birds something to eat.

The system sighed: [Since ancient times, the routine has won the hearts of the people. 】

Qi Mingxu and the others desperately rushed into the trap, selling themselves and counting the money to Nan Liujing, tsk, really didn't see it.

Perhaps it was because it smelled the fragrance of the pastry, or perhaps it was because it was unaware of the danger, and the bird in first place was the first to raise its head, look around from side to side, and let out a high chirp.

Flew up, circled, and landed next to the pastry with three companions.

Yao Rong said with a smile: [Qi Mingxu and them are these four birds that have thrown themselves into the net. ]

In fact, according to Qi Mingxu's character, even if Nan Liujing directly orders, Qi Mingxu and they will definitely do what Nan Liujing said.

But that way of dealing with it is inevitably a bit blunt and hurtful.

Now this sleek approach is very appropriate.

The system thinks so: [Lord Liang and they must have a lot in common. 】：，，
