There was laughter and laughter all the way, and the carriage drove into Yongle Square and arrived in front of the Li Mansion not long after.
Cheng Chu reluctantly said "Don't touch me". Who knows who is riding in this carriage? He has never been in such a comfortable carriage. Li Zexuan slapped his hand away angrily. Every part of the carriage was touched by this guy along the way. Fortunately, the carriage was strong, otherwise he really doubted whether the carriage would be "broken" by this guy's touch.
Cheng Chumo finally left without looking back.
Li Zexuan had the carriage brought in, and he, Uncle Fu, and Yan Shaoning came to the front hall.
Li Zexuan asked comfortably: "Shaoning, how does it feel to sit in this car?"
"Comfortable, comfortable. Brother Wei thinks this carriage is very suitable for long-distance travel. Sitting on it, you don't feel the fatigue of traveling and traveling at all."
Yan Shaoning thought for a while and replied.
"Haha, even Brother Shaoning said yes, it will definitely be a big seller. Uncle Fu, the workshop has recently organized manpower to speed up the production of this new type of carriage. Make twenty of them for me first and send them over. I can use them."
Li Zexuan's thoughts changed and he laughed at Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu was dumbfounded and said, "Young... Young Master, what do you want with so many carriages?"
The cost of twenty carriages alone is tens of thousands of dollars, which can't help but surprise Uncle Forbes.
"Part of it is used to give away people. I have accepted a lot of favors in the past few months since I returned to Chang'an. It is easy to repay money debts, but it is difficult to repay favor debts. This carriage can not only repay some favors, but also use it to build a good reputation in the circle of nobles." I want to make a name for myself. I have my own use for the other part of the carriage!"
Li Zexuan thought to himself, this young master is about to get married, what if there is not a grand motorcade when picking up the bride.
Uncle Fu was speechless and could only agree.
"By the way, Uncle Fu, how is the paper machine doing? Are there any difficulties?"
After talking about eating, drinking and having fun, Li Zexuan finally thought of business.
"Master, the structure of the paper machine is complex, and the amount of work is quite large in the morning. It is not difficult to follow the drawings, but it will take some time."
Fu Bo thought for a while and replied.
"Approximately how long will it take?"
"Seven days!"
After such a long time, Li Zexuan frowned and said thoughtfully: "Is there not enough ordinary craftsmen in the workshop now, or is there a shortage of skilled craftsmen?"
"Of course there are too few skilled craftsmen, Master. It's really hard to find skilled craftsmen. There are no more than ten people in the workshop."
Fu Bo said with a grimace.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and found that he had no good solution, so he could only say:
"Uncle Fu, please send more people to other prefectures and counties in the future. As long as they are skilled in skills and are willing to come to our workshop, the benefits and benefits will be great. As for this paper machine, you should try to speed up the progress. Ma Zhou's place is almost ready. , just waiting for you to start work here. Oh, Shaoning happens to be idle these days, so he just went to the workshop to help Uncle Fu and study the paper machine. This should speed up the progress a lot. "
When Li Zexuan saw Yan Shaoning enjoying himself beside him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he gave them some advice.
Uncle Fu quickly nodded in agreement. He admired Yan Shaoning's mechanical talent.
Yan Shaoning staggered, his face full of black lines. He had just been "released" from his father, and was about to be "jailed" by Li Zexuan. Just as he was about to object, he saw Li Zexuan making a gesture. pointed a finger and said:
"Brother Shaoning, don't refuse. This paper machine is of great importance and must be done as soon as possible! Besides, you still have a stake in this workshop. At worst, after the work is completed, I will give you a 'Don't Touch Me', how about it?"
Yan Shaoning was a little moved, and he nodded after a moment. Unlike Li Zexuan, a rich man who had dozens of "Don't Touch Me" cars at his disposal, in the Tang Dynasty, a carriage was a very precious asset to other families.
… … …
After dinner, Li Zexuan came to Mingyue Xuan and saw Tiedan squatting on the big stone by the pond, hugging his knees, looking at the moon in the sky, lost in thought.
Li Zexuan's heart moved slightly. It seemed that the younger sister was right. Tiedan really had something on his mind. Could it be that this boy had fallen in love with a girl from a certain family and was starting to fall in love with him? What should I do if this is really the case? This is obviously puppy love! As a master, should I stop it
Li Zexuan was thinking wildly in the distance, and the more he thought about it, the more entangled he became. Finally he shook his head and walked slowly towards Tiedan.
"Tiedan, what are you thinking about?"
Walking behind Tiedan, Li Zexuan found that the boy was still in a daze, so he could only ask aloud.
"Ah, uh~ Master, are you here?"
Tiedan woke up instantly when he heard the sound, and the child hurriedly said in a panic.
"Don't be nervous, come on, come on, sit down and tell me, what were you thinking about just now that made you so lost in thought?"
Li Zexuan patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said in as gentle a tone as possible.
Tiedan sat down as he was told, but looked at Li Zexuan with evasive eyes.
"Say it!"
"Master, Tiedan didn't...think about anything!"
"There must be something. I don't know you yet, kid. Come on, tell me. Is there anything else that we, master and disciple, can't talk about?"
"Master, it's really... nothing!"
This boy seems to be a walnut. Li Zexuan frowned and suddenly said with a bad smile: "Oh~ I understand, I understand, your boy has fallen in love with a little girl from some family. He just looked at the moon and felt yearning for spring!" Tiedan, it’s not that I won’t let you find a wife as a teacher, it’s just that you are still young and should focus on your studies... "
Seeing such an inconspicuous master on the stall, Tiedan almost vomited blood in his heart, and his cheeks instantly turned red. He hurriedly stood up and waved his hands: "Master, it's not like this, it's not like this!"
"What's that like? If you're not distracted, you'll stare at the moon in a daze. Come on, tell me, sir, what's the ink mark on you!"
Li Zexuan slapped Tiedan down again.
With Li Zexuan making a joke like that, the atmosphere of the conversation instantly became more relaxed, and Tiedan was no longer as reserved as before. He hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Master, do you want to marry my sister?"
He has been living in the Li family, and he has heard more or less about Li Zexuan's marriage recently.
Li Zexuan nodded, frowned and said, "Yes, isn't it possible that you don't want your sister to marry me, Tiedan?"
"Uh~"
Tiedan scratched his head, wondering: "Yes, and no!"
"What do you want to say, kid?"
Li Zexuan knocked Tiedan's forehead angrily.
Tie Dan quickly said with a tangled look on his face: "Master, Tie Dan has been thinking recently, if master marries my sister, will Tie Dan call you brother-in-law? Or master? Should he call me sister, sister? Or master wife? Woolen cloth?"
"Well… "
Damn it, even though Li Zexuan is used to seeing all kinds of weird questions, he was shocked by these two questions that were so powerful from Tiedan!
