Chapter 572 Prodigy Li Yuanjia!(1/2)

"Reply to Master, they are willing to exchange fifty books, or one hundred books for pens!"

Fang Yi said straight.

"There are no great scholars!"

Li Xuan sighed lightly.

"Reply to Master, no!" Fang Yi said straight.

"Since that's the case, fifty classics plus five taels of gold are exchanged for a pen with a copper-body gold tip; one hundred classics plus one pound of gold are exchanged for a pen with a full body gold!"

Li Xuan said.

“Yes, Master!”

Fang Yizhi and others bowed and replied directly.

As for those people from aristocratic families, they would not pay attention to whether their masters would accept this temporary price increase.

Anyway, they had already brought the words and asked their master to agree.

"Teacher, there is another person who came to me, and wanted to exchange it for two pens from the Master!"

Li Chengqian continued.

"Oh? Who is it?"

Seeing Li Chengqian speak, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little curious.

There is actually someone who can find Li Chengqian.

"Teacher, it's my teacher!" Li Chengqian replied.

"Crown Prince's Grand Tutor?"

Li Xuan was stunned.

“That’s right!”

Li Chengqian nodded, "And the teacher has started writing letters, wanting to find a few great scholars in Lijiazhuang to come!"

“Very good”

Li Xuan was immediately overjoyed, "The request of the prince's Grand Tutor is the same as that of the Duke of Qufu County and others!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly saluted!

Soon, all the people from aristocratic families also knew Li Xuan’s request.

Five taels of gold?

In the eyes of many aristocratic families, it is not too expensive.

In the Tang Dynasty, gold was not so widely used. Under normal circumstances, one or two golds could be bought with five jin of money.

In this way, such a precious pen actually costs twenty-five stakes or fifty stakes.

Of course, these aristocratic families have not thought about it carefully. Even a pen made of pure gold is not weighing a pound!

The only thing that made those aristocratic families feel distressed is the fifty books or one hundred books.

These classics are the fundamental reason why these aristocratic families can control the literati of the Tang Dynasty.

In Lijiazhuang, after hearing that Li Gang was going to introduce the great scholars to Lijiazhuang, Li Xuan was completely worried.

Although this old man is called the Prince's Killer, he has a very wide connection and is very high in seniority!

In the Tang Dynasty, I really can't find a few people who can compete with this old man.

In addition, it is the old man Kong Yingda who helped.

Lijiazhuang can already book two great scholars in advance.

So Li Xuan directly ordered.

Let Li Chang start storing some cement, sand, stones and steel bars in advance.

In addition, build two independent courtyards on the side of Lijiazhuang near the mountain!

A month after the New Year, Wang Xuance also returned.

At the same time, old man Li Yuan also brought a young man of the same age as Li Chengqian.

Old Man Li Yuan’s eleventh prince, King Xu Li Yuanjia!

Among the relatives of Li Tang, Li Yuanjia can also be regarded as a talented man who is diligent and studious, and is good at both art and cursive scripts.

However, when facing Li Xuan, the notorious third brother, he was still nervous and looked very shy.

"You want to come to Lijiazhuang to study too?"

Similarly, Li Xuan was also confused by Li Yuanjia's actions.

"Brother I'm right!"

Li Yuanjia hurriedly replied.

"You are the King of Xu, at most one or two years, and your Majesty will be sent as an official position and serve as the governor of various states. What are you studying in Lijiazhuang?"

Li Xuan looked helpless.

Hearing this, Li Yuanjia looked anxious. Although he was called the Li child prodigy since childhood, he was not willing to learn Confucian knowledge or become an official, but was obsessed with those craftsmen.

Especially the Mohist school.

However, after the Qin and Han dynasties, the Mohist family began to disappear.

In the past few hundred years, the Mohist school had no news at all, and it seemed that the inheritance was completely cut off.

Fortunately, in his lifetime, he could still hear news about the successors of the Mo family.

Therefore, after enduring for a year, he was about to be appointed as the governor of the outside world again. Li Yuanjia could no longer bear it and betrayed his face and begged to the old man Li Yuan.

Then came to Lijiazhuang.

After listening to Li Xuan's question, Li Yuanjia thought that if he was not bolder, he would not be able to escape the fate of being a foreign governor, and his courage suddenly became stronger.

"You have reported to the third brother, Yuan Jia also has a will. It is like a craftsman who has rules and a craftsman who has rules. The craftsman who holds his rules and controls the world!"

Li Xuan's mouth opened slightly, which sounded so high-end.

"Hao Zhixing actually wants to use the craftsman's ruler to control the rules of the way of heaven!"

Li Yuanjia was also stunned. He seemed to say he didn't. He just wanted to use the language of "Mozi" to pretend.

However, this third brother seemed to be serious.

Moreover, when I looked at my Aye again, I looked at myself with encouragement.

Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel ruthless. No matter what, he had already said the ruthless words and could not be taken back.

Otherwise, no matter whether the third brother would beat him up, his own Aye would definitely be disappointed in him.

"I wonder if my third brother can help me!"

Li Yuanjia bowed to Li Xuan with a serious look on his face.

"How can I help you?"

Li Xuan asked with interest.

"Since ancient times, only the Mohist craftsmen have the most exquisite skills, especially the fountain pen. Even if they are placed in front of the masters of the general and the Shaofu Supervisor, they may not be able to create a fountain pen.

Therefore, Yuan Jia wanted to learn the skills of the Mohist school from the Mohist school."

Li Yuanjia said, subconsciously showing a hint of excitement.

He still likes the skills of craftsmen very much.

"You want to learn the craftsmanship of the Mohist school?"

Li Xuan was also stunned, stared at Li Yuanjia for a while, and said, "You must know that you are the dignified King Xu and the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. If you learn the skills of craftsmen, you will inevitably be ridiculed by a number of aristocratic families or nobles!"

"Don't worry, Brother Third, Yuan Jia will not care!"

Li Yuanjia focused on the key points.

"You have passed this level!"

Li Xuan nodded gently, "But the Mohist skills need to be learned from the Mohist craftsmen since childhood. How can you learn it when you are so old now?"

"San Ge, don't underestimate Yuan Jia. I have loved craftsman skills since I was a child. I have read dozens of books on craftsman skills. And I can also use both things and can be remembered by myself. Yuan Jia is confident that if the ink-controllers in San Ge's village truly teach Yuan Jia, Yuan Jia will definitely be able to learn his skills within two years!"

Li Yuanjia said slowly.

"One purpose?"

Li Xuan was shocked, "Do you draw square with one hand and circle with the other?"

After saying that, Li Xuan was stunned.

He found that after he asked, Li Yuanjia, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others were all looking at him with strange looks.
