"Master, they are all willing to exchange fifty or one hundred classics for the pen!"
Fang Yizhi said.
"There is no great scholar!"
Li Xuan sighed softly.
"Master, no!" Fang Yi said straightly.
"In this case, fifty classics and five taels of gold will be exchanged for a pen with a bronze body and a gold tip; one hundred classics and one pound of gold will be exchanged for a pen made entirely of gold!"
Li Xuan said.
"Yes, Master!"
Fang Yizhi and others directly handed over and replied.
As for those people from aristocratic families, they did not care whether they would accept this temporary price increase from their master.
Anyway, they have brought the message to them and made their master agree.
"Master, there is another person who also came to me and wants to exchange two pens from Master!"
Li Chengqian continued.
"Oh? Who is it?"
Seeing Li Chengqian speak, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little curious.
There is actually someone who can find Li Chengqian.
"Hui Master, you are my teacher!" Li Chengqian replied.
"Prince and Grand Master?"
Li Xuan was startled.
"Exactly!"
Li Chengqian nodded, "And the teacher has already started writing a letter, hoping to find some great scholars to come to Lijiazhuang!"
"Very good"
Li Xuan was immediately overjoyed, "The prince's and grand master's requirements are still the same as those of Qufu County Duke and others!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Li Chengqian saluted quickly!
Soon, people from aristocratic families also knew about Li Xuan's request.
Five taels of gold?
In the eyes of many aristocratic families, it is not too expensive.
In the Tang Dynasty, the use of gold was not so widespread. Under normal circumstances, five guan of gold could buy one or two gold.
In this way, such a precious pen only costs twenty-five guan, or fifty guan.
Of course, these aristocratic families have never thought carefully about the fact that even a pen made of pure gold does not weigh a pound!
The only thing that made those aristocratic families feel distressed was the fifty or one hundred classics.
These classics are the basis for these aristocratic families to control the literati of the Tang Dynasty.
But in Lijiazhuang, after hearing that Li Gang also wanted to introduce the great scholar to Lijiazhuang, Li Xuan was not worried at all.
Although this old man is called the Prince Killer, his connections are really wide and his seniority is scary!
In Datang, there are really not many people who can compete with this old man.
Besides, it was the old man Kong Yingda who helped.
Lijiazhuang can already reserve two great scholars in advance.
So Li Xuan gave the order directly.
Let Li Chang start to store cement, sand, stones, and steel bars in advance. He should also store some steel bars.
In addition, two independent courtyards will be built on the side of Lijiazhuang near the mountain!
One month after the New Year's Day, Wang Xuance also returned again.
At the same time, old man Li Yuan also brought a young man the same age as Li Chengqian.
Old Man Li Yuan’s eleventh prince, King Xu Li Yuanjia!
Among the Li Tang clan members, Li Yuanjia can also be regarded as a talented scholar who is diligent and studious, and is good at both industrial and cursive calligraphy.
However, when facing Li Xuan, the notorious third brother, he still looked uneasy and acted very shy.
"You also want to come to Lijiazhuang to study?"
Similarly, Li Xuan was also confused by Li Yuanjia's actions.
"Back to third brother, that's right!"
Li Yuanjia hurriedly replied.
"Your Majesty, King Xu, will be sent by His Majesty to be an official in one or two years at most, and serve as governor of each state. What do you want to learn in Lijiazhuang?"
Li Xuan looked helpless.
Hearing this, Li Yuanjia looked anxious. Although he was known as the Li family prodigy since he was a child, he was not willing to learn Confucian knowledge or become an official. Instead, he was obsessed with craftsmanship.
Especially Mohism.
However, the Mohist family began to disappear after the Qin and Han Dynasties.
In the following hundreds of years, there was no news at all about the Moh family, and it seemed that the inheritance was completely cut off.
Fortunately, during his lifetime, he could still hear news about the descendants of the Mohist family.
Therefore, after enduring for a year, Li Yuanjia was about to be appointed as the governor again. Li Yuanjia couldn't bear it any longer, and bravely asked to be beside old man Li Yuan.
Only then did we arrive at Lijiazhuang.
After listening to Li Xuan's question, Li Yuanjia suddenly became more courageous as he thought that if he was not bolder, he would not be able to escape the fate of being sent out as an assassin.
"Third brother, Yuanjia also has heaven's will. Just like a wheelwright has his own rules, a craftsman has his own rules. The wheelwright follows his rules to make the world a smooth one!"
Li Xuan opened his mouth slightly, it sounded so advanced.
"I am so ambitious that I want to use the craftsman's ruler to control the rules of heaven!"
Li Yuanjia was also stunned. He seemed to say that he didn't, and that he just wanted to use the language of "Mozi" to pretend.
However, my third brother seems to be serious about it.
Moreover, when he looked at his Aye again, he looked at him with encouragement.
Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel cruel in his heart. No matter what, the cruel words had been spoken and he could not take them back.
Otherwise, no matter whether the third brother will beat him or not, his own Aye will definitely be disappointed in him.
"I wonder if Third Brother can help me!"
Li Yuanjia saluted Li Xuan with a solemn expression.
"How can I help you?"
Li Xuan asked with interest.
"Since ancient times, only the craftsmen of the Mohist family have the most exquisite skills, especially that pen. Even if it is placed in front of the master craftsmen such as Jiang Zuojian and Shaofujian, they may not be able to imitate the pen.
Therefore, Yuan Jia wanted to follow the Mohists and learn Mohist techniques."
Li Yuanjia said, subconsciously showing a hint of excitement.
He still likes the skills of craftsmen very much.
"You want to learn the craftsmanship of the Mo family?"
Li Xuan was also startled. He stared at Li Yuanjia for a long time and said, "You have to know that you are the majestic King Xu and the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. If you learn the skills of craftsmen, you will inevitably be laughed at by many noble families and nobles!"
Li Xuan nodded lightly, "But Mohist skills need to be learned from Mohist craftsmen since childhood. How can you learn it now that you are so old?"
"Third brother, don't underestimate Yuan Jia. I have been fond of craftsman skills since I was a child. I have read dozens of books on craftsman skills. I can also do two things and have a photographic memory. Yuan Jia is confident that if the ones in the third brother's village are
The master of ink teaches Yuan Jia sincerely, and Yuan Jia will definitely learn his skills within two years!"
Li Yuanjia said slowly.
"Two-tasking?"
Li Xuan was surprised, "Can you draw a square with one hand and a circle with the other?"
After saying that, Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.
He found that after he asked, Li Yuanjia, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others all looked at him with strange expressions.
"Why do you look like this?"
"Third brother, please bring two pieces of white paper and two pens to Yuan Jia!"
Li Yuanjia said directly.
"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Get the paper quickly!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan hurriedly glared at Cheng Chusi and several other little bastards beside him.
I started to lose sight of my eyes again.
But he didn't notice that Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi also had strange looks on their faces.
When two pieces of paper and two pens were placed in front of Li Yuanjia, Li Xuan looked curious.
He has lived two lives and has never seen anyone who can draw a square with one hand and a circle with the other!
However, soon, a scene appeared that made Li Xuan's eyes widen!
I saw Li Yuanjia holding a pen in each hand, and then he could actually draw a square with one hand and a circle with the other at the same time.
Moreover, he was still chanting a string of Buddhist scriptures that he could not understand.
