The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 748 Selfishness
After all, I haven’t really been on the battlefield yet. When I was in Ganlu Hall, Xuan Shijing roughly looked at the map of Liaodong. The bitter cold area of ​​Liaodong has many mountainous roads and steep passes. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Under such terrain, the army If there is a strong attack, the losses will definitely be heavy, so it is the best policy to use surprise soldiers as mentioned in the Ganlu Hall.

In the study room, Xuan Shijing leaned his head and thought about how to keep himself and the three hundred soldiers from the Liaodong battlefield from disappearing from the crowd.
This can be regarded as a little selfishness of Xuan Shijing. For the future of the Hou Mansion, sure enough, people who stay in one place for too long will be changed. For example, Xuan Shijing has learned to let go of himself. Looking at things from the position of the patriarch of a wealthy family, if you want to gain, you must pay. This is the most thorough truth that Xuan Shijing understands after returning to Chang'an City for so long. No matter how much you pay, it is futile to harvest what is not your own.

The Wang family and the Zheng family are a good example.

Xuan Shijing was immersed in his own thoughts for a long time, and before he knew it, the night was already dark, Chang Le was in the yard, watching the lights in the study room were still brightly lit, and looked up at the old moon that had already climbed, yes Then the two who were watching the night with him said: "You two go to rest first."

"Yes, my lord." The two of them clapped their hands together and left together.

Chang Le turned to look at the study, walked to the door of the study, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Master Hou, it's late at night." Chang Le reminded softly.

Seeing how busy he is today, it is estimated that there will be many things to do tomorrow, so it is better to remind Lord Hou to rest earlier.

Xuan Shijing heard Chang Le's voice outside, regained his senses, and couldn't help yawning, really, if Chang Le didn't move, he really wouldn't feel how tired he was.

"En, I got it." Xuan Shijing got up and stretched his muscles, then walked to the door of the study, opened the door of the study: "What time is it now?"

"It's almost the first watch." Chang Le replied: "Master Hou, there will be a lot of things to do tomorrow, you should rest early."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, you should go back to rest earlier. For the next period of time, Gao Jun, Marshal Zhao and Bingyue will be busy with the affairs of Chang'an City. You will stay in Zhuangzi for the time being. Be by my side."

Xuan Shijing happened to have few people around him who could help him upload and deliver. Although there was Qin Bingyue, asking her to come to Zhuangzi was like looking for a blacksmith in four miles and eight towns. inconvenient.

"Yes, Lord Hou." Chang Le responded.

Chang Le left, Xuan Shijing also returned to the bedroom, and fell asleep with his clothes on.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Shijing got up, because no one in the house lived here, so the popularity was low, not to mention listening to the cock crowing three times, it was just a good schedule, which gave Xuan Shijing time to come. relatively early.

After getting dressed and tidying up her hair, Xuan Shijing found out the washing utensils that were originally placed in the room, and walked to the yard with them. There is a well in the yard. It doesn't feel unbearably cold.

After washing in a hurry, Xuan Shijing remembered that she came to live in the house in a hurry last night, and now there is not even a serious cook in the house
There is no cook, and breakfast has to be settled. There are so many people in this house, and the blacksmith makes people work hungry on the first day, how can this be possible.

Although there are not many people left in the house, there are still some servants who have been cleaning the house. Xuan Shijing found these people and quickly ordered them to go to the village to find two women who can cook big pots.

The blacksmiths woke up very early. Although they hadn't eaten, they had already gathered in the front yard. Yesterday's things were all placed in the front yard. Now they are not complete, so they might as well dismantle all the armors first. Open, it will save a lot of time when the time comes to refurbish.

The [-] sets of armor that were still in order last night are now lying in disarray in the yard. On one side of the yard, more than a dozen consoles have been set up, and the people from the Shenhou Mansion went to get them overnight yesterday. It was built with materials. At this time, Jin Yiwei, who had been busy all night last night, was still sleeping.

Seeing Xuan Shijing coming out, all the blacksmiths stopped their work and wanted to say hello to Xuan Shijing.

"Hello, Lord Hou."

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet. It's Ben Hou's negligence. Wait a moment, Ben Hou has sent someone out to find someone to come back to cook. Ben Hou is still hungry just like you." Xuan Shijing said with a smile .

The high-ranking Hou Ye was hungry, so these blacksmiths naturally wouldn't say anything.

"By the way, if everyone does a good job in refurbishing the armor this time, I can assure you that in the future, you will be able to voluntarily enter and leave the Engineering College of Daozhengfang." Last night, I stimulated these blacksmiths with wages, and early in the morning , Xuan Shijing threw another bait.

The matter of the engineering college was impeached by the censor in the court, and then it was spread in Chang'an City. In addition, those craftsmen in Daozhengfang's own circle, so the craftsmen in Chang'an City Looking at the engineering college in Daozhengfang, now that Xuan Shijing said that the gate of the engineering college was going to be opened to them, for a while, the blacksmiths present were very excited.

Looking at it in the past, I feel that although the Institute of Engineering is in Chang'an, it is quite far away from me, but it is different now. With Dongshanhou's words, it means that I am likely to be a member of the Institute of Engineering in the future. one of them.

It is a good thing for both the engineering college and these craftsmen to recruit craftsmen to enter the engineering college. It can be said that the relationship between the engineering college and the craftsmen is a win-win relationship.

However, Xuan Shijing also did not allow the phenomenon of good and bad in the engineering college. These craftsmen can go to the engineering college, but whether they are guest teachers or students, it all depends on how much they have in their hands.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely do my best." After looking at each other, several craftsmen clasped their fists at Xuan Shijing and said.

This time in Dongshan County, helping Lord Dongshan renovate and renovate this batch of armor can be said to be both fame and fortune. In this way, all the blacksmiths present were inspired with great enthusiasm.

A large group of people in the house were still hungry. As soon as Xuan Shijing ordered, the servants below did not dare to delay, and ran out to find two or three women who were cooking in the village. As for the ingredients and so on, There are still some in the kitchen, and I can search for some from Zhuangzi. It is no problem to make a simple breakfast. ,

At noon, the things purchased in Chang'an City were transported to Zhuangzi.
