After Li Yuanjia entered the Lijiazhuang Forging Workshop.
Li Shimin looked at the edict about the governor of Luzhou, smiled happily, crossed out the list, and handed it to the eunuch on the side, who asked the eunuch to send it to Zhongshu Province, who would re-select the candidates.
Li Yuanjia has been smart since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would still be so smart when he grows up.
However, it is also good to enter Lijiazhuang.
Since Xuanba attaches so much importance to the ink masters and the forging shop, it is also a blessing for the Tang Dynasty that I, a member of the Li family, can control the ink masters and the forging shop.
As for the candidate for the governor of Luzhou, just let Zhongshu Sheng replace him at will.
Soon, it’s time for spring plowing.
Everyone in Chang'an City was busy.
Similarly, Lijiazhuang also began to move again.
Thousands of villagers, as well as hundreds of personal guards, began to go to the fields, tear down the glass greenhouses, level the land, and build paddy fields.
This time, Li Yuanjia once again saw the usefulness of the objects created by the Mohists to the common people.
All kinds of farm tools that he had never seen before were held in the hands of farmers like Lijiazhuang, and they were doing farm work easily and quickly.
More than 18,000 acres of fields were transformed into flat fields in less than ten days.
Neatly arranged in the field.
…
On this day, several carriages came outside Lijiazhuang.
When they arrived at the gate of Lijiazhuang, the carriages stopped, and then several figures stepped out of the carriages.
Behind him, there was a group of middle-aged men in green sweatshirts.
As for Li Chengqian, he was also dressed as a scholar in purple clothes, and among the few people following him, his expression was respectful.
The guards at Lijiazhuang were all the personal guards of the King of Jin. After seeing Li Chengqian, they quickly opened the door because the prince was respectful to those old men.
At the same time, a personal guard quickly reported to Li Xuan.
"Mr. Wenji, is this the Zhuangzi of the third son of the Li family?"
An old man with gray hair asked the old man with only a few hairs next to him.
At the same time, his eyes looked around.
"What do you think of this place, Dong Gaozi?"
This was Li Gang's second visit to Lijiazhuang, and he was also shocked by the scene in Lijiazhuang.
"The farmland is fertile, the houses are beautiful, and the children are young. It's such a healthy and pastoral place!"
The old man who was called Dong Gaozi by Li Gang's eyes shone brightly and he sighed repeatedly.
"This place is like a blessed land on earth, a blessing to the people!"
"Who would have thought that in the past, the three sons of the Li family, who could only wield a sledgehammer and lead troops to kill, could actually manage such a healthy and pastoral village!"
Beside, an old man also stroked his pale beard and praised him repeatedly.
"Gentlemen, deep inside the village, there are several breeding farms in Lijiazhuang where chickens, ducks, pigs and fish are raised. Gentlemen, would you like to take a look?"
On the side, Li Chengqian asked softly.
"No need, just take a peek and get the whole picture."
Mr. Dong Gaozi shook his head with a gentle expression.
"Besides, Mr. Wenji personally invited me, so it can't be wrong!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the old man beside him.
"I wonder where else Mr. Yangshi would like to see?"
"Hahaha, since Mr. Dong Gaozi has already felt that it is time to meet the Li family Sanlang, then he should meet him!"
After saying that, several old men looked at each other and smiled, then strode forward.
In Lijiazhuang, Jinwang Villa is the most conspicuous and easily recognized.
When Li Xuan got the news, he just walked out of the gate of the other courtyard when he saw three old men leading the way, followed by a group of people walking over.
"Cheng Qian has met Uncle Jin Wang!"
Li Chengqian quickly saluted Li Xuan.
Before Li Xuan could ask any questions, the two old men on the side squinted their eyes and looked at Li Xuan's whole body.
"Are you Li Jia Sanlang?"
"I didn't expect that the famous King Zhao of Xifu would be so handsome and handsome. He was not as cruel and cruel as the legend says. He looked more like a Confucian student like me!"
The comments made Li Xuan confused.
"My lord, Li Xuanba, who are these gentlemen?"
However, Li Xuan still had some vague guesses in his heart, so he slowly bowed his hands and asked.
Otherwise, no matter who he is, if he dares to comment on Li Xuan like this, he would have been thrown out of Lijiazhuang long ago!
"I'm Wang Ji!"
"I'm Zuo Gong!"
After the two old men said something in a low voice.
After Li Chengqian also introduced Li Gang.
Wang Ji said with a proud look on his face: "I heard that King Jin wants to invite all the world's great scholars to come to Lijiazhuang. I wonder how many of them are coming. Can His Highness King Jin be in charge of the wine?"
"drink wine?"
Li Xuan was startled, then looked at Wang Ji's somewhat red eyes, and his heart moved.
Immediately, he ordered the butler on the side: "Hurry up and arrange the kitchen. When distinguished guests arrive, prepare for the banquet. Each person should prepare two bottles of white wine first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang responded and ran back quickly.
Afterwards, Li Xuan invited a few people inside.
This time, it was another lobby in Lijiazhuang, not the main building.
"A few gentlemen have come from afar, please go in and rest for a while!"
"Tsk, tsk, it is said that Sanlang Li is extremely generous. Why did we only have two bottles of liquor per person when we came?"
Wang Ji and Zuo Gong both looked at Li Xuan with disdain.
On the side, Li Gang looked helpless.
"Two gentlemen, don't be impatient. A bottle of white wine can make one person drunk. Today, I see that both gentlemen are good drinkers, so I specially prepared two bottles of white wine.
However, everything is lacking in my manor, but there is no shortage of fine wine. If two bottles are not enough for a while, I will directly prepare ten bottles for you two! Today, I must make sure you two enjoy themselves!"
Li Xuan replied with a chuckle.
"Haha, very good. When I am at home, I often enjoy making wine and fighting with wine masters. I can even drink five measures of some fine wine without getting drunk. Today, I hope His Highness, King Jin, will be ready!"
Wang Ji said with a big smile on his face.
Li Gang and Zuo Gong on the side also nodded slowly.
Obviously, although these few people are great scholars, they have only heard of the name of Lijiazhuang Baijiu, but have never drunk the liquor produced by Lijiazhuang. Naturally, they are not familiar with the power of Lijiazhuang Baijiu.
Li Xuan couldn't help but be startled and glanced at Li Chengqian standing aside in surprise.
Is there anyone in this world who can really drink five measures of fine wine?
I'm afraid you didn't drink the beer. It will be excreted from the body within three seconds after being consumed!
However, since these people were invited by Li Gang, they must have real abilities.
So, Li Xuan just smiled and nodded, saying yes again and again.
Then, when he thought of something, he continued to give instructions to Li Chang who came back from the side.
"A distinguished guest is here. Let's invite Chu Suiliang. Qin Heng will come out to accompany you!"
"yes!"
The old housekeeper Li Chang responded again and walked out.
"Gentlemen, Chu Suiliang is the son of Chu Liang, the chief historian of the Jin Dynasty Palace and a bachelor of Hongwen Hall. Although not many gentlemen have a thorough understanding of the classics and history, he is also a person who is familiar with the classics and history."
After Li Chang left, Li Xuan began to explain, "Qin Heng is my Sima of the Jin Dynasty. He has been diligent and studious since he was a child, is familiar with classics and biographies, and is good at poetry.
Since they are accompanying the two gentlemen, they must have something in common to talk about, and they will eat and drink well with them!"
"His Royal Highness King Jin is interested!"
Hearing this, the three old men nodded with moved expressions.
But he didn't know that the King of Jin in front of him had just heard that someone could drink five measures of fine wine without getting drunk.
So I wanted to find two people to give him an extra layer of insurance.
"Steward Li, are you really Mr. Yangshi and Mr. Donggaozi?"
In a courtyard on one side of King Jin's front yard.
After hearing Li Chang's words, Chu Suiliang and Qin Heng were suddenly filled with surprise.
