Although Li Xuan's words did not wake up these scholars like drums at dusk and bells in the morning, they dealt a severe blow to them.
At least, let these scholars truly realize their status.
So, they began to walk towards their respective posts honestly under the leadership of Li Chang!
As for Li Xuan, after returning to the main room, he gradually calmed down after drinking a cup of hot tea.
After a while, Li Chang opened the door, walked in from the outside, and saluted Li Xuan.
"Your Majesty, those scholars have made arrangements!"
"good!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then thought of something, and asked Li Chang: "Steward, did I scold you a little too harshly just now?"
"The king is strict with those scholars for their own good. In the eyes of the old servant, it is not that cruel!"
Li Chang said.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then ordered again: "Butler, go get a piece of paper and a pen!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang responded, then quickly walked to the desk nearby, picked up a piece of white paper and a pen, and placed them in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan directly picked up the pen and wrote on the paper:
“Scholars should be familiar with the books of sages, imitate the sages, master the knowledge of the world, know how to study all things in the world, and understand the truth of all things, so that they can make more good use of them, use the principles of all things, and unite knowledge and action to benefit the world and establish
Unparalleled merit!"
After finishing writing, he handed the blank paper to Li Chang.
"Steward, make fifty-two copies of this paper and give it to those scholars as an encouragement from the king! In addition, each person will be rewarded with a copper pen and a stack of one-inch thick white paper. This is
Their treatment in Lijiazhuang.
The rest of the treatment is the same as that of a steward in the house!"
"Your Majesty, please be merciful!"
Li Chang said quickly.
"Go, I hope these scholars can increase the productivity of my Lijiazhuang's farms, fields, and forging workshops!"
Li Xuan waved his hand and said.
Although Li Chang couldn't understand Li Xuan's words, he could still guess some of the meaning.
He bowed his hands to Li Xuan and walked out.
When Li Chang appeared in front of the scholars with a pen and white paper, all the scholars couldn't help crying with joy.
"Please also ask the Chief Manager to tell the King that we will do our best and will never let down the King's high expectations!"
"Very good!"
Li Chang nodded slightly and continued: "I have one more thing to tell you gentlemen. Since you have chosen your own work, you can check the books about your work in the library of the King's Courtyard at will.
Any money needed.
In addition, if you gentlemen know that there are other classics left in the Tang Dynasty that are not in the library of the King's Courtyard, for every classic that is recovered, the King will give you a reward!"
"Thank you butler!"
All the scholars couldn't help but beam with joy.
In the following days, all the scholars were completely immersed in their own work.
Every day, I would leave early and come back late, either in the library of another courtyard, in the forge, in the glass greenhouse, or in the chicken, duck and pig pen.
at the same time.
In Chang'an City, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic families have gradually recovered from the pain of hot pot, and started the craze of eating hot pot again.
Regarding this, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were all happy again.
Especially, one day, several dignitaries from aristocratic families discovered that His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor and others also came to the hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot.
As a result, hot pot restaurants became popular throughout Chang'an City, and the powerful people from aristocratic families wished they could eat and live in hot pot restaurants every day.
This went on for five or six days.
As luxury carriages entered Chang'an City one after another, heads of aristocratic families from all over the Tang Dynasty and vassal kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty began to arrive in Chang'an City one after another.
The diners of the hot pot restaurant have become noble again.
…
On this day, two days before the Chinese New Year, Li Chang walked in with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, what a happy event!"
"Um?"
Li Xuan was stunned, "Why are you so happy?"
"King Qi, His Highness the Crown Prince is back!"
Li Chang said quickly.
"Gao Ming is back?"
Li Xuan was startled, "Gao Ming defeated Tubo so quickly?"
"this……"
Li Chang couldn't help but laugh sarcastically and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, my servant didn't know!"
"Is Gao Ming coming back alone, or are the whole army coming back as well?"
Li Xuan asked again.
"King Qi, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Duke Dai, and all the young men are back together!"
Li Chang said again.
"Um!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan, who had already sat up, lay down lazily again.
"His Majesty should have summoned Gao Ming back. Just pay attention as usual!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang responded and walked away.
However, what Li Xuan didn't expect was that the next day, those little bastards would come to Lijiazhuang in a bustling manner.
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"
After all the little bastards finished their rituals to Li Xuan, they all looked at Li Xuan with aggrieved faces.
This surprised Li Xuan, "Why are you acting like little wives, but someone is bullying you?"
"Master, you have tricked us!"
"Exactly, Master, you incited us to lead troops to attack Tubo, but you defended Tuyuhun alone and enjoyed the food and drink, while we suffered from the cold and suffering in Tubo!"
"I couldn't eat well or drink well in Tubo, but you came back early and could still eat such delicious food as hot pot!"
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others were each more miserable than the other.
"snort!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan's face immediately darkened, "You and other bastards don't even know my king's kindness!"
"Good intentions?"
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but stare at Li Xuan with their eyes wide open, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Li Xuan snorted again.
"I would like to ask you, if I did not stay in Tuyuhun, would you dare to attack Tubo with such confidence?
Moreover, have you always wanted to lead troops to fight and build military exploits?
If at that time, I and you had attacked Tubo together, and the great success of the attack on Tubo would have been attributed to me, would more than half of it have to be attributed to me?
The most important thing is, do you enjoy attacking Tubo?..."
"Master..."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help looking at each other.
They always felt that what their master said was not quite right, but no matter how they heard it, he was always thinking about them.
Moreover, without the following of his master, they were the only ones in the entire army who were more familiar with bombs and muskets for sieges.
Along the way, basically all siege wars were led by them!
Think about it, they still feel excited!
"Why did you come back so early and have already conquered the entire Tibetan territory?"
