Is it true that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is another village with hidden flowers and bright trees?
I only thought that after arriving at this eunuch, I would definitely be able to get rid of the disease. But I didn't expect that astronomy, calendar, astrology, etc. are so closely related to arithmetic?
Wouldn’t the knowledge from past lives have another use?
Mathematics, you really don’t have to be too good at it.
It is not difficult to derive a few formulas that are not available in this era. With a little effort, it is absolutely no problem to write a book on arithmetic such as "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic".
No matter how hard you work, you might become Zu Chongzhi of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
You can also make compasses, abacus and other things... Thinking about it this way, this eunuch is simply the best place to go.
Li Chengzhi started to think again: I wonder if he could ask Liu Fang or Cui Guang for a favor and discuss the time of going to and from the Yamen.
For example, if I give you some research results from time to time, can you make a special case so that I don’t have to come to Dianmaoshangxiaya?
When the time comes, you will be able to make money as an official, which is really a pleasure...
Feeling happy in his heart, Li Chengzhi swaggered out of the government hall, and was about to go to Ermen to hand over orders to return home, when he heard someone calling him.
When I looked up, I found Li Chengxian standing not far from the government office.
Could it be that you are worried that you will be waiting for me here all the time?
Li Chengzhi was moved and chuckled: "Brother, aren't you afraid of being asked about the crime of leaving your post without permission?"
"No matter how bad I am, I am still an eighth-grade brother. I have officials and subordinates to call me. Why do I need to keep an eye on it myself?"
Li Cheng first looked at him like an idiot, and then asked: "How?"
"I have been assigned to Tai Li Cheng. I just met Ling Cheng and asked me to come back tomorrow to take care of things..."
There were so many people and so many eyes, Li Chengzhi didn’t mention that he had met Liu Fang and Cui Guang, let alone the fact that the stargazer didn’t need to watch the stars.
"It's good that I've seen you before!" Li Chengxian nodded, "Then you go back home first, I'm afraid my father will be impatient! I won't get drunk with you until I go to the Yamen for my brother..."
Li Chengzhi wanted to sweat as soon as he heard about drinking, but he knew he couldn't escape, so he could only agree with a smile.
Before leaving, he thought of something again: "Brother, do you know if Cui Jijiu has anything to do with my family?"
It was only after he left the hall that he came to his senses: Although Cui Guang's words, "Many arts are not too much for one's body," were meant as a joke, they were not necessarily words of encouragement, with a hint of care.
If they were just superiors and subordinates, and there were many grades in between, he would definitely not say this. Moreover, the attitude of these two people today is not generally good. They seem to respond to every request, so Li Chengzhi asked this question. p>
"Cui Jijiu?"
Li Chengxian recalled: "When Uncle Zang (Li Shao) was working in Beijing, his grandfather (Li Qi) was still alive. At that time, he had some contact with Cui Jijiu... and then they broke off..."
Li Chengzhi suddenly realized: Is it for the sake of the Li family in Longxi?
Even the emperor has poor relatives, let alone a noble family?
Cui Guang and Cui Liang were poor when they were young and could not even afford to rent a house in Pingcheng (the old capital of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties). It was Li Chong who took the two brothers in and stayed in the mansion, opening the library for them to borrow.
Later, there were two brothers recommended by Li Chong, and both of them entered Taixue as Dr. Zhongshu (professor). Later, there were two brothers recommended by Li Chong to Emperor Xiaowen. The former was appointed as a writer, and the latter was appointed as a minister (both are similar to secretaries).
, wrote imperial edicts on behalf of the emperor, and was in charge of the emperor's documents and tables).
The same goes for Liu Fang, whose family background is worse than that of Cui Guang, and who was also helped and cared for by Li Chong.
Therefore, the Cui brothers and cousin Liu Fang have a very deep relationship with the Li family in Longxi. Li Chengzhi, who loves Wujiwu and admires Li Yun and others, naturally takes a high look at them.
What's more, Li Chengzhi is indeed a talent, and he looks so pleasing to the eye?
Li Chengzhi also has a good idea of how to measure himself in the future...
The two brothers said goodbye. Li Chengzhi was in trouble. Just as he was about to ride a horse, he heard someone calling him again.
I looked up and saw a covered carriage parked under the shade of the trees on the roadside. Standing beside the carriage was Li Rui, and the person sitting in the carriage was Gao Zhan.
Why did these two people collide?
After taking a look at the expressions of the two of them, Li Chengzhi had an idea.
Li Rui's expression remained as usual. He probably didn't have anything urgent to do, so the matter of renting a house should have been settled.
Gao Zhan looked forward to it. The ice-making joint venture should have been settled. I wonder if he had told Gao Zhao or how Gao Zhao agreed.
However, Li Chengzhi is not worried. This is not about oppressing good people and taking advantage of the people, and it is a separate business. Gao Zhao cannot refuse to agree.
I wonder if it was an illusion. When he got closer, Li Chengzhi felt that Gao Zhan seemed to be gloating about his misfortune?
Gao Zhan jumped off the carriage and asked with a smile: "How is this official?"
Are you laughing at this?
Li Chengzhi didn't care, and replied calmly: "It's quite leisurely!"
Do you really not care?
This was indeed beyond Gao Zhan's expectation. He thought that even if Li Chengzhi didn't become angry, he should still complain?
He didn't dare to sell Gao Zhao, so he could only suppress his curiosity and pretended not to know, and replied: "It's good to have some leisure time!"
"But Gao Sikong agreed?" Li Chengzhi asked expectantly.
Seeing Gao Zhan nod, Li Chengzhi was overjoyed.
As long as Gao Zhao agrees, the matter is considered to be 90% done, and the rest is how to build the site, find raw materials, start construction and sell.
There are a lot of clues, and you have to hurry up.
He turned around and asked Li Rui: "But is Jia Dianyu free?"
"It's true that I have some free time!" Li Rui replied, "I have been waiting at the meeting for more than half an hour, but I don't know if I have left yet!"
“It’s okay to leave!”
Li Chengzhi replied, looked at Gao Zhan and said with a smile, "I found a house outside the city, which is where you and I will start work. The owner is a eunuch from the fifth rank of the palace... in case of unexpected twists and turns,
It's best if Brother Zicheng can take a look at it when signing the contract..."
Upon hearing the word "start", Gao Zhan was ecstatic: Li Chengzhi really wanted to forge his sword, otherwise why would he choose to do it outside the city?
He has long been aware of his own value. Isn't it that Li Chengzhi used the tiger's skin as a banner?
Otherwise, why would Li Chengzhi choose him?
Gao Zhan patted his chest obediently: "Just leave, just call me back."
With his status, it is not a problem to command a fifth-grade eunuch.
Li Chengzhi secretly praised: Sure enough, he is on the right track!
Sitting in the car, Gao Zhan asked him in a low voice: "With a monthly income of ten thousand gold...do you want to make that white sword?"
Li Chengzhi was stunned: What are you dreaming about?
Without thinking, he shook his head and said: "The meteorite iron has been used up long ago, how can we still forge any white swords?"
"Is that the strong wine that looks like a knife in the mouth?" Gao Zhan asked unwillingly.
Li Chengzhi shook his head again.
Wine is only secondary. He is worried about others discovering the secret of allicin, so he will definitely not brew it on a large scale. At most, he will brew a little in private and give it as a gift.
Besides, there are many more ways to make money than this, and it’s not my turn to make wine.
"Don't be anxious!" Li Chengzhi said perfunctorily, "I will tell you in detail after we rent the house..."
