The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1271

Xuan Shijing smiled, and didn't try to explain it deliberately, since he was so muddled back then, that's fine.

"Actually, it's very simple. When I was a child when I entered school, my husband talked so much, I couldn't remember it, so I could only do my hands and feet in books." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Books are not precious to Xuan Shijing, but to these children, books are something they must protect, because they regard books as sacred, how dare they scribble on books like Xuan Shijing said Painting, at most, is to record the main points of the master's speech on paper.

What limits the thinking of these children is nothing else but poverty.

In Datang, most of the children from poor families could not afford to read books, and not all the people were able to sell everything they could for their children to go to school.

After one class, Xuan Shijing left the school and stood in the courtyard of the college. The gazebo in the courtyard is a good place. Both Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu like to sit in this gazebo when they are free from class. It's a pleasant autumn afternoon.

"After listening to Shi Lian's class, how does Shijing feel?" Xiao Yu turned to look at Xuan Shijing: "I just came back from Pyongyang not long ago, did my heart calm down?"

The problem that others have not seen through, but Xiao Yu saw through it at a glance.

Xuan Shijing killed too much on the battlefield. Even if he returned to Chang'an, he forcibly covered up the restlessness in his heart, but the longer this restlessness was suppressed, the more it would erupt. Perhaps the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the academy can Relieve Xuan Shijing's heart, open a slow release opening for his heart, let his uneasy emotions be released slowly, and finally disappear invisible.

From Pyongyang to Chang'an, it was a long way. Although it took a long time on the road, Xuan Shijing was homesick at that time and was eager to return home. There was no other thoughts. After arriving in Chang'an, life returned to calm, and he had already adapted It will take some time for Xuan Shijing, who is on the battlefield with a tight rhythm, to return to calm again.

Xuan Shijing is not a veteran general who has experienced many battles. The battle against Goguryeo was the first time in his life that he led the army alone. We all know that Li Daozong is behind him, and His Majesty Li Er is in charge. This time, he is almost fighting alone. Xue Rengui is too busy in Dahang City to do his own thing. He, Xuan Shijing, is the backbone of the army and the main force of the army. On such a day, my nerves are tense almost every day, for fear of making mistakes.

"Xiao Xianggong is really powerful, this junior thinks he is hiding it very well." Xuan Shijing shook his head helplessly.

"This old man has seen a lot." Xiao Yu smiled: "This academy is a good place, if you have nothing to do, come and visit more often."

Xuan Shijing got up, bowed and bowed to Xiao Yu: "I understand."

Xuan Shijing really planned to listen to a few more classes in the academy, and it happened to be free now, which is also a rare opportunity. Xiao Yu was right, the academy is a good place, it can cleanse Xuan Shijing's soul, at least he can be in Liaodong. The murderous aura around him was completely eliminated.

After leaving the academy, Xuan Shijing stopped at the entrance of the academy, raised his head, looked at the four big characters "Mingde Academy" on the plaque of the academy, smiled slightly, turned and left.

This academy is the real pure land of Dongshan County.

The next day, the imperial edict of His Majesty Li Er was issued by the three provinces and sent to various places in Guanzhong.

The Ministry of Households quickly began to allocate money and food, and the Ministry of Industry also began to recruit craftsmen. The first to bear the brunt was the Engineering College in Chang'an City.

The Institute of Engineering has gathered almost all the elite craftsmen in Guanzhong. To build a new palace in Longshouyuan, these craftsmen will naturally be recruited by the Ministry of Industry.

After returning to the Ministry of Industry from Ganlu Hall yesterday, brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben rushed to work all night to draw the construction drawings of the new palace. During the period, they also took a carriage to Yong'an Palace. Perhaps some parts of Yong'an Palace need to be demolished.

After the craftsmen gathered in Longshouyuan, they began to move sand and gravel and tamp the foundation. After the busy farming in autumn, Longshouyuan showed a scene of bustling again.

Xuan Shijing was still on Zhuangzi, and woke up naturally in the morning after sleeping, and then went to the study to sit and read the news from the people below, and went to the academy after dinner in the afternoon to listen to Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu's lectures.

"Master Hou, the shopkeeper Qian Da is here." The servant outside the study stood outside the study and said, clasping his hands.

"Let him in." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes."

After a while, the money was piled up in Xuan Shijing's study room, and after saluting, he knelt and sat opposite Xuan Shijing.

"Master Hou, people from the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court approached his subordinates and said that they are some materials for the construction of the new palace. As long as we have them, they will give priority to buying them from us. They just hope that our prices can be [-]% lower than those on the market." Qiandui said.

Xuan Shijing was taken aback, but it was not unusual, the Chamber of Commerce in Qiandui did manage a lot of things, and the construction of the new palace began, and the people from the Ministry of Industry began to search for materials in the whole Guanzhong, naturally the relatively advanced city of Chang'an was the first to do so. Contact merchants to purchase materials.

It's just that the [-]% is indeed a bit low.

"Apart from the price, what did the people from the Ministry of Industry say?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"My subordinates have contacted several merchants in Chang'an City. The people from the Ministry of Industry have contacted them all, and the prices they offer are all at [-]%. The people from the Ministry of Industry said that the materials needed to build the new palace are a lot of money. , even if it is [-]% lower than usual, but the quantity is there after all." Qiandui said.

"I really don't know if the price reduction by the Ministry of Industry is really for the sake of the treasury, or for some other purpose." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Master Hou doesn't suspect that someone is among them." Qian Dui frowned, and thought of the way to do it.

"The businessman was contacted by the Ministry of Industry, but after all, the money and food are allocated by the Ministry of Households." Xuan Shijing said: "If they are really thrifty for the sake of the imperial treasury, [-]% is nothing. They are right. After all, the quantity is there, and the merchants also make small profits but sell more, but if the profit margins of the merchants are reduced because of the layers of doorways, then the problem will be serious."

How big is it?It is so big that it is possible that the construction of the new palace will be put on hold indefinitely!
"Then how should the subordinates reply to those people in the Ministry of Industry?" Qian Dui asked.

"If it is [-]%, how much is our profit?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Less than [-]%." Qian Dui said: "It's too low. After all, if Lin Lin finally concludes this deal with the Ministry of Industry, maybe we will still lose money. On the one hand, this material, in addition to our own unique materials , there really isn’t much to earn.”
