Chapter 407: Academy Pure Land

Xuan Shijing smiled and didn't deliberately explain, since he was so confused back then, it would be good like that.

"Actually, it's very simple, when I was still a child when I entered school, my husband talked so much, I couldn't remember it, so I had to do it in books." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

Books are not precious to Xuan Shijing, and for these children, books are something they must protect, because they regard books as sacred, where do they dare to scribble on books as Xuan Shijing said, at most they write down the main points of Mr. on paper.

It is not other than poverty that restricts the thinking of these children.

In Datang, most of the children of poor families can't afford to read, and not all the people can smash pots and sell iron for their children to go to school.

After a class, Xuan Shijing left the school and stood in the courtyard of the college, the pavilion in the courtyard is a good place, whether it is Gao Shilian or Xiao Yu, they like to sit in this pavilion when they are not free from class, and the autumn afternoon is still very pleasant.

"How does Shijing feel about listening to Shi Lian's class?" Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Xuan Shijing: "Not long after I came back from Pyongyang, can my heart calm down?" ”

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

Xuan Shijing killed too heavily on the battlefield, even if he returned to Chang'an and forcibly covered up the restlessness in his heart, but this restlessness, the longer it was suppressed, the more powerful it broke out, maybe the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the academy could alleviate Xuan Shijing's heart, give his heart a relieving opening, let his uneasy emotions slowly release, and finally disappear invisibly.

Pyongyang to Chang'an, thousands of miles away, although the road has taken a lot of time, but at that time Xuan Shijing was homesick, like an arrow, where there are other thoughts and other thoughts, after arriving in Chang'an, the days are calm again, and Xuan Shijing, who has adapted to the tight rhythm of the battlefield, wants to return to calm, it will take a while.

Xuan Shijing is not a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, the battle against Goguryeo is the first time in his life that he led the army alone, different from the time when His Majesty Li Er personally conquered three years ago, no matter what, Xuan Shijing knew that he was controlled by Li Daozong behind him, and His Majesty Li Er presided over, this time, he was almost alone, Xue Rengui was so busy in Daxing City that he had no time to separate, he Xuan Shijing was the backbone of the army, and he was the reliance of the army.

"Xiao Xianggong is really powerful, and the younger generation thinks that he is hiding it well." Xuan Shijing shook his head helplessly.

"Old man, I've seen a lot." Xiao Yu smiled: "This academy is a good place, if you have nothing to do, come and go around." ”

Xuan Shijing got up, bowed down and bowed to Xiao Yu: "The junior understands." ”

Xuan Shijing really plans to listen to a few more classes in the academy, and now he is free, which is also a rare opportunity, Xiao Yu is right, the academy is a good place, it can cleanse Xuan Shijing's mind, at least it can eliminate the killing aura contaminated in Liaodong.

Out of the academy, Xuan Shijing stopped at the gate of the academy, raised his head, looked at the four big characters "Mingde Academy" on the plaque of the academy, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

This academy is the real pure land of Dongshan County.

The next day, the edict of His Majesty Li Er was issued through the three provinces, and the fast horse was sent to all parts of Guanzhong, and the notices were posted all over the streets, and 130,000 conscripts in Guanzhong were to be requisitioned, and Longshouyuan was gathered to build a new palace for the Tang Dynasty.

The household department quickly began to allocate money and grain, and the Ministry of Industry also began to recruit craftsmen, the first of which was the engineering college in Chang'an City.

The Engineering College brings together almost the elite of the craftsmen in the entire Guanzhong, and if they want to build a new palace in Longshouyuan, these craftsmen will naturally be recruited by the Ministry of Industry.

Since returning to the Ministry of Works from the Ganlu Hall yesterday, Yan Lide and Yan Liben brothers have been working all night to draw the construction drawings of the new palace, and have also taken a carriage to Yong'an Palace during the period, after all, the new palace is to be expanded on the basis of Yong'an Palace, maybe Yong'an Palace needs to be demolished in some places.

After the craftsmen gathered in Longshouyuan, they began to carry sand and gravel, and the foundation was tamped, and after the busy farming in the autumn, Longshouyuan presented a hot scene.

Xuan Shijing was still on the Zhuangzi, slept until he woke up naturally, and after waking up, he went to the study to sit and look at the news sent by the people below, and went to the academy after eating in the afternoon to listen to Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu's lectures.

"Master Hou, the shopkeeper is here." The subordinate outside the study stood outside and arched his hand.

"Let him in." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes."

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

"Master Hou, the people from the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court found their subordinates and said that they had some materials for the construction of the new palace, as long as we have them, they will give priority to buying them from us, but I just hope that our price can be compared with the market...... Forty percent low. Qian Dui said.

Xuan Shijing was stunned, but it was not unusual, the chamber of commerce in Qiandui did operate a lot of things, and the new palace began to be built, and the people of the Ministry of Industry began to search for materials in the entire Guanzhong, and naturally they were the first to contact merchants to buy materials in Chang'an City.

It's just that these forty percent are indeed a little low.

"In addition to the price, what else did the people from the Ministry of Industry say?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"The subordinates contacted several merchants in Chang'an City, and the people of the Ministry of Industry have contacted them, and the price given is also pressed forty percent, and the people of the Ministry of Industry said that the materials required to build the new palace are a large amount, even if it is forty percent lower than usual, but after all, the number is there." Qian Dui said.

"I really don't know if this Ministry of Industry is really for the sake of the government treasury, or if there is some other purpose." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

"Master Hou doesn't suspect that there are people here......." Qian Dui frowned, and also thought of the doorway.

"This businessman is contacted by the Ministry of Industry, but after all, the money and grain are allocated by the Ministry of Households." Xuan Shijing said: "If they are really thrifty for the imperial treasury, forty percent is nothing, they are right, after all, this amount is there, and the merchants are also small profits but quick turnover, but if the profit margins of the merchants are compressed because of the layers of doorways in it, then this problem will be big." ”

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!

"That'....... How do my subordinates reply to those in the Ministry of Works? Qian Pile asked.

"If we let forty percent, how much profit do we have?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Less than 10 percent." Qian Dui said: "It's too low, Lin Lin finally concluded that if this deal with the Ministry of Industry was reached, maybe we would still lose, on the one hand, this material, in addition to our own unique materials, can make a lot." ”
