"Okay, Chenglu can listen to the four masters telling Chenglu stories again!"
Li Chenglu said with some joy.
The courtyards of four great Confucian scholars, Wang Ji, Zuo Gong, Lu Yuanshi, and Gong Daoliang, had been completed a year ago.
From bypassing the other courtyards, following a spacious and flat cement road to the foot of the mountain, you will find the courtyards of the four great Confucians.
The four courtyards, located at the foot of the mountain, are exactly the same, with small streams flowing around them.
In front of each courtyard, there is a two-acre field.
Now, it is filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
In the courtyard, there are gardens, ponds, pavilions, a two-story building, a library, a study room, and a large side room that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
In addition, it is a normal living room.
However, the structure and layout of these rooms are all based on those in the other courtyard where Li Xuan lives.
Bathrooms and toilets are all available.
Not far from these houses, there are rows of two-story buildings.
These are all the disciples and relatives who followed these four great Confucians.
Li Chenglu is obviously much more familiar with this place than Li Xuan.
Along the way, he took Li Xuan directly to a large house on the east side.
Inside, there was a room full of kids sitting, and Wang Ji was sitting on the high platform in the front, talking leisurely.
"Please wait a moment, Aye. Master Wang doesn't like to be disturbed when he is lecturing!"
Standing outside, Li Chenglu whispered.
"It doesn't matter, let's go next door!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, there was not just such a great scholar here, there were four of them.
"good!"
Li Chenglu led the way directly.
Half an hour later.
In Lu Yuanshi's house, Wang Ji, Lu Yuanshi, Gong Daoliang, Zuo Gong and other four great Confucians were all dressed in long robes, each holding a huge transparent glass with green tea leaves in it. Did you lower your head and take a sip?
"Prince Jin just came back yesterday. If he didn't handle the affairs in the village well, why did he come here with four old men like me?"
Lu Yuanshi asked curiously.
"The affairs of the four gentlemen are the most important matter in the village."
Li Xuan said.
"Thank you so much, King Jin, for thinking so highly of these four old men like me."
Lu Yuanshi chuckled.
On the side, Wang Ji and Zuo Gong also had a chuckle flashing in their eyes.
"I wonder if the four gentlemen are living comfortably in the village?"
Li Xuan asked: "Among the kids in the village, are there any who are naughty or disobedient?"
"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, does not need to worry about this matter. Although the boys in the village are a little stupid, they are very well-behaved and they work very hard in their studies!" Lu Yuanshi said with satisfaction.
"And the house here is clean and quiet, which is suitable for me and others to live in."
"So good!"
Li Xuan looked slightly happy.
Suddenly, Lu Yuanshi's tone changed, his face full of worry.
"However, Prince Jin has been away for a year, which makes me and others very worried!"
Li Xuan was startled and asked hurriedly: "I wonder what is it that makes you gentlemen so upset? I will definitely solve it for you gentlemen!"
"really?"
Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji all stared closely at Li Xuan.
"It's natural!"
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, feeling like he had been fooled, but he still nodded firmly.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji said angrily: "The King of Jin went to sea this time and will not return for a year, leaving me and these old guys to be harassed every day!"
Li Xuan was furious, "Who dares to come to Lijiazhuang to annoy these gentlemen? Please let them know. I will order all my personal guards to attack their houses in a moment!"
"The major aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, as well as those old guys hiding in the mountains, either wrote letters to bother us, or sent people to guard outside Lijiazhuang. As long as I wait for my disciples or servants to go out, they can give me
Wait for the letter to come in!"
Lu Yuanshi said helplessly.
"letter?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, "I wonder what those people want to do when they write to these gentlemen?"
"pen!"
Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji sighed, and then said: "Those old guys, if they can't get pens from the palace, they all find them on my head.
There are even some old guys who want the two pens in the hands of me and others!"
"Want a pen?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan felt relieved and asked: "I wonder how many people want pens?"
"Anyway, I received thousands of letters by myself!"
"I don't have many, only about six hundred seals!"
"Hmph, I have more than 1,200 letters, and from nowhere, so many familiar people suddenly appeared..."
Lu Yuanshi, Wang Ji and others all looked angry and helpless.
Those people, more or less, can have some relationship with him.
"Are they all here asking for pens?"
Since he came to ask for a pen, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"All!"
Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji nodded slowly, and then looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
"This is easy!"
Li Xuan looked relaxed.
"Easy to solve?"
Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji were all stunned.
"Prince Jin, you heard me clearly. Just for the four of us, we need at least 4,000 pens!"
"not much!"
Li Xuan said.
"Isn't that much?"
The four old men, Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji, stared wide-eyed.
You know, when they only had a few dozen pens, they waited for a full two months.
"Gentlemen, this is a trivial matter!"
Li Xuan chuckled again, "But the pen is very precious. If they want the pen, they need to provide corresponding property or books in exchange for it."
"Prince Jin really has so many pens?"
Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji still couldn't believe it.
"It may be less than four thousand, but there must be two thousand!"
Li Xuan said.
"So, I wonder how King Jin can exchange for those pens?"
Zuo Gong asked hurriedly.
"Gentlemen, do you know that before the boy left, some aristocratic families found him through Cheng Chusi and those little bastards, and wanted to exchange for the pen.
However, they were reluctant to invite such great scholars to Lijiazhuang.
Therefore, I allow them to exchange fifty classics and five taels of gold for a pen with a bronze body and a gold tip; one hundred classics and one pound of gold in exchange for a pen made entirely of gold!"
Li Xuan said slowly.
"I and others naturally know about this matter."
Hearing this, Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
This is what caused them trouble!
"I'm afraid Prince Jin doesn't know, but I heard that there are nearly 10,000 classics stored in a library in Prince Jin's palace."
"Nearly ten thousand copies?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan frowned slightly.
On the side, the housekeeper Li Chang said quickly.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of 8,600 classics!"
"That's all?"
Li Xuan looked surprised.
Lu Yuanshi and Wang Ji all looked shocked and their eyelids twitched.
Not a son of man!
Even though they are all great scholars of the time, their collection of books at home only amounts to a thousand books!
"The books are still missing!"
Li Xuan sighed softly, then raised his hands to Wang Ji and the others and said, "Please ask some of you to reply to those great scholars and aristocratic families, and they can all come to Lijiazhuang to exchange for pens.
It is still the same as the previous aristocratic families, fifty classics in exchange for a pen made entirely of brass;
Fifty classics and five taels of gold were exchanged for a bronze pen with a gold tip;
One hundred classics, plus a pound of gold, in exchange for a pen made entirely of gold!"
