Looking at Li Chunfeng's leaving figure, Yang Fan threw the black iron card in his hand and sang a tune proudly.
It turned out that Li Chunfeng not only came to ask for advice on arithmetic, but more importantly, he sent the token in his hand to Yang Fan.
According to Li Chunfeng, this token is not simple. Yuan Tiangang asked him to give it to Yang Fan.
With this token, Yang Fan can ask the Taoist sect to do three things in return for Yang Fan explaining the Taoist scriptures to them.
No wonder Li Chunfeng was so cautious just now.
Since Dao Men expresses goodwill, Yang Fan will certainly not refuse. In his opinion, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.
Because Yuan Tiangang only asked Yang Fan to do his best to support the Taoist sect when it was in trouble.
Who can say for sure about such a nihilistic thing, of course Yang Fan agreed without hesitation.
Because Taoism is not only the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, but also involves many mysterious things.
With these experts and experts, I can be more convincing in pretending to be a ghost in the future.
But what makes Yang Fan even more happy is that the ancients paid attention to giving gifts and returning gifts!
The explanation I just gave also paid off.
Just now Yang Fan asked Li Chunfeng to help find some arithmetic and shipbuilding talents, and Li Chunfeng agreed without hesitation!
Now, as soon as the professional talents are in place, Yang Fan can immediately start the academy and shipbuilding plans.
Picking up the drawing, humming a tune, Yang Fan took a figure-eight stride and walked towards the backyard.

At the end of the year, the yin and yang rush to the scene, and the sky is frosty and snowy, and the night is cold.
After entering the winter solstice, the days become very short and the nights seem deserted and long.
Except for some gentlemen who like to study simple and simple activities with their concubines and go to bed early, many young men from high-ranking families will sit in groups of three or five people and chat around the fire.
The topic of course cannot be separated from Yang Fan, the loyal uncle of Wannian County who has been popular in Chang'an recently.
Because this stick not only did such a lawless thing as beating His Royal Highness the King of Wei some time ago, but now he has gone crazy.
…
In a house to the east of Chang'an City, the main hall of the house was brightly lit, and several young people in gorgeous clothes were chatting with their heads lowered.
The young man in green and brocade robes sitting at the head of the table was the first to speak: "Have you heard? Uncle Zhongyi boasted so boldly that he wanted to buy a mine, and he wanted as much as he wanted, and he would not refuse anyone who came. Isn't this crazy?
I really look forward to seeing this stick on the streets one day.”
"Brother Dou, what's weird about this? Isn't it normal for rich people to buy gold and silver mines? Besides, even if you don't buy a gold mine or a silver mine, you can buy an iron mine and it's still a business that will make a steady profit.
, If so-and-so's family has money, so-and-so would also like to buy some!" A young man wearing a navy blue robe said with jealousy on his face.
But as soon as the young man finished speaking, he saw the other two looking at him with strange expressions, as if they were looking at a fool.
"Brother Xu, haven't you heard of it?" At this time, another young man with a thin body and a wretched face shook his head slightly and teased.
The young man surnamed Dou took a sip of tea, waved his hand, and said to the skinny young man: "Brother Zhang, please don't make fun of Brother Xu. Brother Xu only reads the books of sages and doesn't listen to things outside the window. No wonder Caiqing is young in Chang'an City.
Each generation leads its own branch!"
The young man surnamed Xu had an unhappy face and said slightly angrily: "Did Xu say something wrong?"
As a few people raised their heads, they realized that it was Dou Fengjie, Xu Zhang and Zhang Zhe?
Maybe everyone is not familiar with this Zhang Zhe, but speaking of his grandfather, he must have heard of him, that is Zhang Zhongye, the Minister of Rites who was just raped some time ago.
Zhang Zhe smiled slightly: "Brother Xu has been studying hard at home, so it's understandable that he doesn't know the details!"
"Brother Dou, Brother Zhang, don't be guilty. Since the last time I was defeated by this stick, Xu has been sleeping hard and studying the Four Books and Five Classics. He rarely hears news from outside. Did something happen to that stick? Brother Dou, please hurry up.
Tell my little brother and let him have a good time..."
Xu Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, his face full of anticipation.
Because he knew that the two people in front of him had a grudge against Bangchui, and it was obvious that Bangchui Yang Fan had done something stupid to make them so happy.
Looking at Zhang Zhe, Dou Fengjie didn't show off anymore, and said with joy on his face: "Brother Xu, do you know what mine this stick is buying this time?
"What mine?" Xu Zhang was very cooperative this time and raised his head in anticipation.
"Coal mines!"
"What? Coal mine?" Xu Zhangteng stood up and exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
Then he turned to look at Zhang Zhe, as if he wanted to confirm whether the news was true or false.
"How is this possible?" Seeing Zhang Zhe nodding his head with a smile, Xu Zhang murmured to himself.
Because in the eyes of people of this era, coal mines are worse and more useless than barren mountains.
Even if it is a barren mountain, you can still plant trees into a forest, or clear up wasteland and plant soil, and there will always be some harvest.
But the coal mines are completely different. Not only can't crops be grown here, but trees can't grow either.
Although you can dig some charcoal and use it as firewood, in ancient times, there was no shortage of firewood.
Moreover, using charcoal for heating is prone to poisoning, and dozens of people die from it every year.
Therefore, even if charcoal is used for heating, only those who are poor and cannot afford charcoal dare to use it.
Therefore, charcoal is synonymous with evil at this time.
When used for iron smelting, iron is easily brittle, and when used for heating, it is easy to kill people. It is simply as useless as chicken ribs.
Of course Xu Zhang couldn't believe that Na Bangchui would spend a lot of money to buy such a carboniferous mountain.
However, Xu Zhang soon asked impatiently: "How much did you buy the mallet? Do you still need to buy it? It seems that there is one in a certain house, which is lying abandoned, and it is just a trick for that guy."
Zhang Zhe smiled slightly: "Brother Xu, don't worry, the stick has spoken. He will buy it no matter how much it is."
"What if Na Bangchui goes back on his word and doesn't buy it?" Xu Zhang had a question mark on his face, with some doubts.
Dou Fengjie chuckled, full of determination: "I won't be able to help him tomorrow. Since Brother Xu is one of our own, I won't hide anything from you. As soon as the stick came out, Brother Changsun had people spread it everywhere. Now almost everyone in Chang'an City
You know, if that Bangchui dares to go back on his word, there will be no place for him to stand in Chang'an from now on."
"It's really great. With Brother Changsun taking the lead, everything will be fine. It seems that this time it's enough for me to drink a pot..." Xu Zhang said fiercely with excitement on his face and bright eyes.
Dou Fengjie and Xu Zhang looked at each other and laughed happily.
It seems that Yang Fan has already foreseen the scene of Yang Fan's downfall.
The proud laughter of several people seemed so clear and harsh in this cold night!
…
The next day, in the backyard of the Yang Mansion in Chang'an City, a cold wind blew outside, but inside the house was as warm as spring, and giggles could be heard from time to time.
It turned out that Yang Fan and Helan Minyue were playing a game, and the laughter came from Helan Minyue's little mouth.
Wu Shun sat aside and smiled broadly, playing with his insoles while looking at Yang Fan and Helan Minyue who were fooling around on the couch, with a happy smile on his pretty face.
Yang Fan is closer to Helan Minyue than her biological father and daughter. What else is she dissatisfied with?
Seeing the two of them stop, Wu Shun put down the needle and thread in his hand and complained a little: "Sister-in-law, you are so spoiled by Min Yue! This little girl has become the little overlord in the house."
"Humph, Min Yue doesn't like my mother anymore, and she actually said bad things about Min Yue. Min Yue is not a little bully, Min Yue is daddy's little baby!" Before Yang Fan could reply, Xiao Douding pouted and retorted seriously.
These words immediately made Wu Shun dumbfounded.
Yang Fan picked up Helan Minyue, laughed loudly, and said pointedly: "Minyue is right, your mother is so bad, daddy will help you punish her tonight."
And Helan Minyue nodded innocently: "It's better for daddy to be good to Minyue. Daddy will punish mother severely for Minyue..."
Thinking of Yang Fan's punishment, Wu Shun suddenly turned red with embarrassment. The punishment was really both joyful and scary. He had to give Yang Fan an angry look, blaming him for talking nonsense in front of children!
But in Yang Fan's eyes, it looked very charming.
Just when she was about to say something, Wu Meiniang walked in. After saying hello, she said with a slight worry: "Husband, the Carboniferous Mountain you want has been negotiated and can be delivered tomorrow. However, there are too many people who want to sell the Carboniferous Mountain.
, it seems like someone is behind it, adding fuel to the flames, Mei Niang is afraid that there are people with evil intentions!"
