Chapter 84 Returning Home
  Emperor Jingwen pinched his eyebrows, smoothed his white hair from his temples, and looked far away.

None of his sons were suitable to be emperor. The second child relies on the Duke of Zhen for everything. If it is left in his hands, it will be hard to say whether Dazhou's surname is Xiao or Lin. The fifth child is sinister and cunning, the sixth child is impulsive, the seventh child is headstrong, and the tenth child is lazy, playful and fun-loving.

If they can live peacefully and be idle princes, they will be indispensable for glory and wealth in the future. If they become monsters, don't blame them for not respecting the relationship between father and son.

Those idiots stare at the chair under his butt every day. They are not capable of sitting in this position, and they are always acting up. They don't do a lot of bad things. If they don't have the gold steel, they shouldn't take the porcelain job. I really think that Is this seat so easy to sit in?
  If you want to be a qualified king, you must have power, strategy, insight into people's hearts, and knowledge.

Let Chen'er go to several major military camps for training, not only for the sake of military power, but also to allow him to truly experience the sufferings of the world along the way, so as to avoid sitting on the throne in the future and imagining how beautiful the outside world is. An emperor who has never seen the sufferings of the world will often be deceived by his ministers into saying that the world is peaceful and the people are well clothed and well fed. Such an emperor is unlikely to become a wise king.

Xiao Yichen, who was talked about by Emperor Jingwen, was on his way back to Yixian with Shen Jia and others.

Lu Xiaoju, mother and son also returned to Beili Village to live with Shen Jia.

Shen Hao bought a carriage and asked Shen Jia, mother and son Lu Xiaoju to sit in the carriage together.

Xiao Yichen found various reasons to ask Shen Jia to ride with him, but Shen Hao decisively refused.

They hurried on while admiring the scenery, and did not arrive at Yixian County until dark.

Brother and sister Shen Jia and mother and son Lu Xiaoju lived directly in the study room. Seeing this, Xiao Yichen also moved into the study room, which made Shen Hao so angry that he almost ran away.

All the tools for the printing and papermaking workshops have been installed. Shen Zhuoyun must have been focusing on the bookstore during this period.

"Miss Shen, you said this is a printing and papermaking workshop? Do you know how to make paper and print?" Xiao Yichen's eyebrows showed unconcealable excitement.

Shen Jia glanced at him and said jokingly: "Stop that unseen expression of yours, it's so rare and strange!"

Of course Xiao Yichen was excited. Printing and papermaking had always been in the hands of a few aristocratic families. Their royal family had no intention of getting involved, and they couldn't even get a foothold in it.

There was even a popular saying in the previous dynasty: a dynasty with a solid family and a flowing stream.

Some aristocratic families have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years, and many officials in the court have inextricable relationships with them.

Grandpa Huang has weakened some aristocratic families, but processes such as papermaking, printing, and sugar making are still firmly in the hands of aristocratic families.

Therefore, the cost of studying is extremely high. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to study, and there are very few students from poor families in the court.

If books are cheap and popular, more people will read, and the country will have more talents to choose from.

"Miss Shen, are you interested in cooperating?"

"Okay! How do you want to cooperate?"

"You develop skills, I will send people to learn from you, and I will give you 20% of the profit. However, I must declare in advance that this profit may be very low, because I want to democratize books and allow more people to read. "

Hearing this, Shen Jia waved his little hand and said, "Since it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, I don't want any profits. But I will print some story books, and you have to help me transport them to the capital to sell them."

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "The storybook? What storybook?"

"You'll know tomorrow." Shen Jia smiled mysteriously.

The next day, Shen Hao and Shen Jia returned home, Xiao Yichen also went to Beili Village with them, and Lu Xiaoju and her son returned to the seventh uncle's house.

"Uncle Shen, Auntie is fine! I sent Brother Shen and Miss Shen back." Xiao Yichen saluted Shen Zhuoyun and Gu with clasped fists. Shen Zhuoyun and Gu quickly avoided and returned the greeting immediately.

Xiao Yichen didn't put on airs in front of them, but they couldn't understand etiquette. Xiao Yichen was a king, and there was a difference between king and minister, not to mention that they were still commoners.

Shen Zhuoyun and Mrs. Gu looked at their eldest son and daughter who had obviously lost a lot of money. They felt very distressed and immediately killed the only old hen left in the family to make soup.

When Shen Yun and Shen An saw Shen Jia coming back, they rushed over like two small cannonballs and said at the same time: "Sister, I miss you so much! Hug, sister."

Shen Jia picked up the two of them and kissed them on the cheeks. "Good boy, my sister is not at home. Have you eaten well, read, practiced calligraphy, and practiced martial arts?"

"Yes, Yun'er eats on time every day, studies, practices calligraphy, and martial arts. But she doesn't see her sister, and the food doesn't taste good anymore."

"Me too, my sister is not at home, and the food tastes like nothing. Sister, where have you been, and why did it take you so long to come back?"

"Sister, you have lost weight. Have you not eaten well?"

"Sister, you are darker and not as beautiful as before, but you are still my favorite sister."

Xiao Yichen looked at the two little guys hanging on Shen Jia and felt particularly dazzling.

He took the baggage from Xiao Ping's hand and took out two daggers. "Shen Yun, Shen An, come here. Brother Xiao has brought daggers for you."

"Dagger?" When the two heard this, they immediately jumped off Shen Jia and shouted sweetly: "Brother Xiao."

The guard of the dagger was engraved with exquisite patterns and had an ivory scabbard. Xiao Yichen pulled out the dagger, and the dazzling white light shone in the sunlight, eye-catching.

"The blades of these two daggers are extremely sharp. You should not pull them out on weekdays to avoid hurting yourself." After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, he inserted the dagger into the scabbard.

Shen Yun and Shen An took the daggers and were about to pull them out out of curiosity, but Shen Jia quickly snatched them away.

These two naughty kids! Not afraid at all.

Shen Jia went to the kitchen, took out Shen Zhuoyun's freshly bled chicken, placed it in front of the two of them, and returned the dagger to them, "Yun'er, An'er, go up with the dagger and try to see if you can peel off the skin and feathers of the chicken."

Children are very curious. If their curiosity is not satisfied, they may take it out to play without adult supervision and end up accidentally injuring themselves.

Shen Yun and Shen An looked at Shen Jia carefully and saw that there was no sign of anger on her face. They took the dagger and pulled it out with a 'swish'.

He looked like he was eager to fight with someone.

Most boys love weapons, and Shen Yun and Shen An are no exception.

Seeing this situation, Shen Jia glared at Xiao Yichen, blaming him and not knowing the importance at all. Can such a young child give a dagger as soon as he comes?

Xiao Yichen touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't expect the two children to be so curious?

The two bold masters, Shen Yun and Shen An, glanced at the old hen on the ground, and slowly squatted down. One used a dagger to peel off the old hen's chicken legs, and the other used a dagger to peel off the old hen's chicken wings.

After all, the two of them were still young and didn't know how to control the strength. The chicken feathers and leather flesh flew out together and stuck in each other's faces.
