"Master, it's hard to meet once, why are you always depressed?"

In a stone cave, three figures surround the bonfire.

Li Liqian, who has been in Raojiang for several years, and Li Chengqian, who followed later, and Li Yunxiao.

In the past few days, looking for the traces of the Twelve Mountains, almost all of them were Li Lizhi and Li Chengqian, and Li Yunxiao took out a pen and paper when he had time, used the Longquan Sword as a table, and sketched things with an expressionless face.

It's not so much that I came to see Li Liqian, but that I came to supervise the two of them to work.

Li Yunxiao smiled lightly: "Where do you see that you are depressed as a teacher?" I'm so happy. ”

Li Lizhi came behind Li Yunxiao and pinched his shoulder and said, "Master, I can see at a glance your deceitful appearance." ”

"Really? Am I so easy for people to see? ”

"Of course, but why are you so dull?"

Li Lizhi looked puzzled, and even puzzled.

"Look, master, now the Tang Dynasty has no disasters and no disasters, the people have a bumper harvest, the rice is so cheap that it is three or four dollars per bucket, the displaced people have returned to their hometowns, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the order is far beyond the past."

"Even many people stay at night, and there is a post station hundreds of miles away when they travel, so you don't have to bring a lot of dry food, do you have anything to worry about now?"

Li Yunxiao frowned slightly and asked, "Rice, how much is each bucket?" ”

"Three or four dollars? What's wrong? ”

Li Yunxiao almost didn't have to buy what he ate, and when he heard this price, a touch of worry appeared in his heart.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yunxiao said lightly: "Rice is only worth three or four dollars per bucket, which may not be a good thing. ”

The two looked confused, and Li Chengqian couldn't help asking: "Isn't it a good thing that food is cheap and everyone has something to eat?" How can it hurt the peasants? ”

"Yes, master, my father once told me that what he did was to make the people of the world afford to eat, and now he has done it, why is it not a good thing?"

Li Yunxiao glanced at the two of them and said: "It's a good thing that everyone in the Tang Dynasty can be fed and clothed, but the land of a common family is good and bad, more and less, and almost every year's harvest is the same. ”

"If this is the case, last year's bucket of rice was ten yuan, this year's four yuan, and a direct loss of six yuan, such a thankless thing, after a long time, who else wants to farm in this world?"

Li Yunxiao couldn't help but take out a pair of pen and paper again, wrote some words, put them in his arms, and waited for someone or carrier pigeon to be sent back to the palace tomorrow.

Since rice is cheap, and now it is a bumper harvest, then let Li Zhi expand the granary and widely collect and seal the grain.

After that, I ordered people to plant some more valuable crops, and if the amount of rice is small, the price can naturally be increased.

Even if there is a disaster, with the relief food in the granary, it should be able to survive.

If there are frequent natural disasters in the past few years, it is not something that can be done by manpower, and there is no way to manage it.

Li Lizhen and Li Chengqian both knew that Li Yunxiao had thought of another way to deal with it, and they were going to send it back.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but admire: "Emperor, in my life, in addition to my father and emperor, the most obedient person is you, but I am always thinking about the people of the world outside the court, I, the former prince, feel ashamed to sit with you." ”

"What is there to be ashamed of, the world is so big, there are people who think more, and naturally there are people who think less."

"Shouldn't the master laugh now? They have inadvertently solved a big problem for you. ”

Li Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, wasn't he the one who solved the trouble?

"Okay, come out to play, what's not happy, I'm just afraid of laughing too much, and there are many folds on my face, hahahaha..."

"Really?"

"Of course."

Li Lizhi shrugged her shoulders and believed Li Yunxiao's words for the time being.

Li Yunxiao couldn't help but shake his head when he saw her appearance, how could he think that the world would be like this now?

Now he has some drawings in his hands, some of the prototypes of the machine in his mind.

Now that the war is gone, whether it is Li Lizhi or Li Zhi, they can celebrate and have fun happily, but he can't.

He has to use as much time as possible to deduce the principles of many things, and if it is successful, it will be a leap forward for Datang.

At this time, Li Chengqian suddenly spoke: "Emperor, I suddenly remembered that I seem to have heard of the Immortal Gu and Yanxiang Gu you are looking for. ”

Li Yunxiao stopped the movement in his hand and raised his head to look at him: "Where is it?" ”

Li Chengqian scratched his cheeks: "It seems that there is a nobleman in Raojiang who wants to hold a martial arts competition to recruit relatives recently, and there is a dowry, but I'm not sure if it's all there." ”

"Tournament to recruit relatives..."

Li Yunxiao glanced at Li Chengqian: "You like women now, right?" ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, his face turned red, this is Li Yunxiao, if it was someone else, even if it was Li Zhi, he would scold people directly!

Li Lizhi sneered: "Oh master, isn't my brother still young and ignorant, what are you talking about this?" ”

"I'll just ask, if there is really a Yanxiang Gu, he will get a daughter-in-law for nothing, and get Yanxiang Gu for his teacher, isn't it a win-win?"

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, he was a win-win situation, and he had never seen anyone who recruited relatives in a martial arts competition, what kind of win-win situation was he talking about?

Moreover, since he was driven away, he decided not to marry for the rest of his life.

"Is there a problem?" Li Yunxiao asked.

Li Chengqian couldn't say anything for a long time, Li Yunxiao smiled lightly: "Okay, tease you, anything has a price, as long as I know that there is that thing, I have my own way to get it." ”

Li Lizhi smiled lightly: "I know that the master will not be difficult." ”

Li Chengqian was also relieved when he heard this.

In his concept, the one in front of him feels very kind, after all, he has seen him since he was a child, and Lizhi is also his apprentice, if he really orders him to compete in martial arts, he will not refuse, but his heart is always a little awkward.

"By the way, what's going on with your internal strength?"

When Li Chengqian left, he already had the strength of the heavenly position, and after so many years, his strength has not only not improved, but has become far from the same, and even weaker.

Li Chengqian sighed when he heard this.

"At the beginning, Li Yuanchang gave me an elixir, saying that it could help me cultivate quickly, and the elixir was indeed effective, but since I was promoted to the early stage of the Great Heaven Rank, I felt unbearable pain in the acupuncture points around my body."

"Lizhi took me here to find a Gu master, and he said that the pill I ate had Gu and had been integrated with me, and if it was removed, my cultivation would be invalid."

"Now the strength of this little heavenly position is something I have cultivated again."

"I see, what about you, what is the reason why you have been stuck in the middle of the Great Heaven Rank for so many years?"

Li Li's face was delicate, still like a young man, and when she heard the question, she was a little embarrassed to play her two fingers back and forth.

Li Yunxiao shook his head helplessly: "What you call coming out to wander is to play around, right?" What should I do if I am slow to improve and encounter an accident? ”

"Oh master, don't talk about me, I'll improve when I have time."

Li Yunxiao shook his head, didn't talk, and continued to paint on his own.

There was silence again, except for the crackling sound of dry wood.

Suddenly, Li Yunxiao, who was drawing something, slowly raised his head and looked at the outside of the cave with a slight frown.

He heard what appeared to be the cries of animals fighting in the distance.
