Li Shimin

After arriving at Lijiazhuang, Cheng Zhijie stole Cheng Chusi's pen in order not to attract everyone's attention, especially for fear of being known by King Jin.

So he followed the crowd quietly all the time, holding back until now, not daring to say a word.

Now, seeing Wei Zheng in such a hurry, he didn't hold back.

"Shh!"

"You still have the face to drag the old man!"

Wei Zheng cursed in a low voice.

"Brother Wei, don't be upset!"

Cheng Zhijie said with a light smile, "Could it be possible that you didn't see that this is His Royal Highness Jin Wang who is using a pen to exchange a large number of books and great Confucianism from the families of Old Man Kong and Old Man Xiao!"

"So what if you see it?" Wei Zheng was still full of complaints.

Cheng Zhijie grinned, and said hehe again: "The first batch of His Highness King Jin is enough to exchange for enough books and great scholars. Then you say, if someone comes to ask for pens again, will His Highness King Jin exchange these?"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's heart couldn't help but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, it's time for me to ask for a pen!"

Seeing that Wei Zheng understood, Cheng Zhijie said with a soft smile.

"Humph!"

Wei Zheng snorted again, turned his head and continued to look at Li Xuan, Kong Yingda and others who were at the front.

Although I know that I only need to wait patiently for a month or two, and I may have the opportunity to exchange for that kind of literati treasure, the fountain pen.

However, looking at Cheng Zhijie's cheap and thief face, Wei Zheng still felt uncomfortable.

But soon, Wei Zheng regained his seriousness.

All the civil servants who came from big families in front had already asked Li Xuan for the number of pens and their requirements.

Li Xuan's face was full of joy when he treated the group of ministers brought by Li Shimin.

Where are these for the autumn wind?
It's completely a group of ministers who send money!

"housekeeper!"

In addition to being happy, Li Xuan shouted directly.

"Your Majesty?"

Butler Li Chang hurried over.

"Order to kill a few chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs. This king wants to host a banquet for the nobles in the court!"

Li Xuan shouted.

"Yes!"

Li Chang was also overjoyed.

After listening on the sidelines for so long, Li Chang also understood the purpose of the exchange between his king and these ministers, and his steps towards the back kitchen became much lighter.

Those classics are trivial matters. If one or two great Confucian scholars can live in the village, then those bastards in Lijiazhuang will be blessed!
Soon, I heard that the officials and nobles brought by His Majesty in the front yard wanted to exchange hundreds of classics for the villa, and even introduced a few great Confucian scholars.

The cooks in the back kitchen were also trembling with excitement.

Great Confucianism!
The few cubs in my family can also have the opportunity to attend lectures under the great Confucianism.

Everyone moved quickly.

Therefore, half an hour later, there were five tables of sumptuous dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and pork, and even Lijiazhuang's unique grilled lamb chops, half of which were meat and half were vegetables.

Anyway, fragrant and fresh.

In addition, in front of everyone, a bottle of white wine.

The old men Kong Yingda and Xiao Yu who were watching were full of excitement.

They didn't expect that the king would be so enthusiastic about them civil servants!

"In the past, I only heard that His Royal Highness Jin was tyrannical and innocent, but now I know that His Royal Highness Jin is so hospitable and respects us literati. I respect His Royal Highness Jin and Your Majesty!"

As he said that, Kong Yingda directly picked up the wine glass and took a deep mouthful.

Not surprisingly, there was a violent cough.

"You don't need to be too courteous. Today's wine, meat and vegetables are enough. If you don't enjoy your meal, I can order my servants to pack and take some back for you!"

Li Xuan also picked up the wine glass, extremely bold.

As for if there are civil servants who dare to take it away shamelessly, then the gate of Lijiazhuang will not be opened again next time.

"His Royal Highness Jin Wang is polite!"

Fortunately, these ministers were not polite to Li Xuanzhen.

This meal was very dark, and by the time the ministers brought by Li Shimin got into the carriage, the bodies of all the civil servants had already weakened, and they could not stand still.

As for Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie, the old killers, their eyes were in a daze and their tongues were straight.

In this regard, Li Xuan's eyes flashed a look of satisfaction.

He ordered Xue Rengui, Ma Xi and the others to send Li Shimin and these ministers back to their homes one by one with a group of personal guards.

Then, the bandstand was brought in.

"The music platform pays homage to the king!"

"These are the fountain pens that I want you to make after the New Year's Eve. You know what you want!"

Li Xuan handed the notebook recorded by Xue Rengui to Letai.

"pen?"

Hearing this, Le Tai hurried forward and took the notebook with both hands.

When I opened it, I couldn't help being surprised.

"My lord, four pens are all made of gold, and there are ten pens with brass pen bodies and gold nibs, and there are so many requirements? Is this a private customization?"

"What's your problem?"

Li Xuan asked.

"My lord, there is nothing wrong with the villain. It's just that these are delicate objects, and there is no template yet. It will take a long time for the villain and others to make one!" Le Tai quickly explained.

"It's okay!"

Li Xuan looked indifferent, "Can these pens be produced within two months?"

"Two months?"

Hearing this, Le Tai couldn't help but frowned and thought, and then replied: "My lord, the engravings on each of these pens are different, so the villain is not sure!"

"It's okay, these notebook kings also confiscated a penny from them, so let's make it in three months!"

Li Xuan still looked indifferent.

"No money!"

Hearing this, Le Tai was shocked, and then showed distressed expression.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan seemed to recall something happy, so he said: "However, give them a fountain pen with a brass body and a gold nib, and they will send fifty classics to Li Jiazhuang, at least five of which are orphans, or, Li Family Village has found a great Confucian!"

"Great scholar?"

Immediately, Le Tai felt his ears buzzing, and his eyes widened instantly.

Can the king invite a great Confucian to Zhuangzi?
Li Xuan ignored the shocked Letai and continued: "In addition, if you give them a pen made of gold, they will send a hundred classics to Li Jiazhuang, and at least ten of them need to be alone, or give Li Jiazhuang Find two great Confucian scholars!"

"Don't worry, my lord, the villain will definitely make all these pens within two months!"

Le Tai said hastily.

"There is no need to be so anxious!"

Li Xuan shook his head unhurriedly, "The pens you made this time are either for the man of Kong County, or the 32nd generation grandson of Kong Shengren; and for Xiao Jing, the Duke of Lanling County, who is Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. Younger brother of Empress Yang Guangxiao, grandson of Emperor Liang of the Southern Dynasty; and Yu Zhining, Minister of Zhongshu, one of His Majesty's eighteen bachelors..."

Before listening to a few people, the band was already shocked, and said with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, my lord, the villain will definitely make these pens beautifully, and there will never be a single flaw!"

Letai no longer dared to doubt whether the king could invite the great Confucianism to the village.

If the people mentioned by the king can't invite great scholars, then in the Tang Dynasty, no one can invite great scholars for Lijiazhuang!
"Okay, the king didn't call you here to give you a military order, but to tell you the good news, so that you can prepare yourself!"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly, very satisfied with the band's reaction.

"Now, go get busy with your work. There are only a few days in a year that allow you to spend time with your family so easily!"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, the current life is beyond our luxury!"

Le Tai sighed.
