"Well, Xiao Yu'er, do you know how to read?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and asked.
Although he had no friendship with Li Yu, on the one hand, Li Zexuan was moved by Li Yu's experiences and her intelligence and agility. On the other hand, looking at this situation, his most proud student seemed to be interested in the little girl. He Is it a fulfillment or a fulfillment!
"Yeah, my aunt taught me how to read when I was very young!"
Although Liu Yixue didn't know arithmetic, she was still familiar with poetry and calligraphy. In addition, she always regarded Li Yu as her own child, so of course she would take the time to teach Li Yu how to read.
"Well, since Xiao Yu'er you don't want to be a maid, how about this? Our workshop happens to be short of reporters, so you can make money by writing news."
Li Zexuan thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
This little girl has out-of-the-box thinking, a quirky personality, and a funny tongue. Let her try being a reporter and see how it works.
"What is a reporter? What is journalism?"
Li Yu felt that the people in the city were really unfriendly and kept saying words that country people had never heard of.
Meng Wenhao also looked at Li Zexuan with curiosity. After reading newspapers for so long, he knew what news was, but he also didn't know what a reporter was.
Li Zexuan took a few newspapers from the table and handed them to Li Yu and said: "Xiao Yu'er, first look at what the news is, and then this reporter is the one who writes the news. I call him a reporter. Look, if you can write If you have similar manuscripts, then come and work in the editorial department! How about giving you one hundred articles for every news article you accept?"
"Yeah!"
Li Yu was extremely excited and quickly agreed.
A trace of envy flashed in Meng Wenhao's eyes. Even if he only wrote one article a day, he could earn three thousand articles a month! This salary is not low.
Li Zexuan smiled softly, looked at Meng Wenhao and said, "Wenhao, you are not studying at home today, why are you out?"
"Oh, by the way, sir, today's newspaper said that the imperial court sent naval forces to escort the fleet south. Sir, do you know?"
Only then did Meng Wenhao remember the reason for going out today. He looked at Li Zexuan and asked with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Well, I know it, master. What's wrong?"
"Sir, what you don't know is that because of this imperial decree, countless private businessmen are flocking to buy boats. Correspondingly, businessmen are also frantically recruiting sailors. My father also joined them because of the generous remuneration offered by a boat shop owner. The student once heard that I have said that there will be countless risks in the vast sea, so I advised my father not to go to sea, but he was unable to do so. He felt very depressed for a while, and then I thought of going out to relax. I beg you, sir, to help dissuade my father. The student is willing to pay No matter what the cost, I can repay my kindness to you!"
Meng Wenhao bowed his hands and said.
Li Zexuan was speechless after listening. He knew something about Meng Wenhao's family situation when he was in the Imperial College. He didn't expect that this time he helped Li Er publish two decrees, which actually led to Meng Wenhao's father risking his life to go to sea to earn money. Money, this couldn't help but remind Li Zexuan of his father in his previous life.
In his previous life, his family background was also not good. He was from a rural area. In order to support him in college, his father would go home to farm during busy periods and work on construction sites during slack periods. I remember one time when his father was working on the ninth floor, the wooden board under his feet suddenly broke, and he fell directly from the ninth floor.
If his father hadn't relied on his strong sense of survival to step on a suspended steel pipe during the fall, changing the position of the fall, and finally falling into a pile of sand, he would have been killed by this fall. Even so, after this accident, his father's vitality was severely damaged, and his health was not as good as before.
No matter what era you are in, it is not easy for every father, and there are always many fathers who risk their lives to make money for their children, just to give their children a good future.
This was one of the reasons why he valued Meng Wenhao very much, because he saw many shadows of his previous life in Meng Wenhao.
"Wen Hao, I can't help you with this matter. Your father took the risk to go to sea. This was a choice he made for you. This is a father's persistence and no one can change it. Although I can directly give your father a sum of money , and asked him not to go out to sea, but I don’t think that a father who can give so much for his children and is even willing to give his life will accept these alms. Father’s love is like a mountain, and Weishi admires what your father has done. , but are unwilling to give alms because of this, because it is an insult to a strong father! If you really love your father, then study hard and strive to be named on the gold list in the future and shine on your family!"
Li Zexuan stared into Meng Wenhao's eyes and said very seriously.
Meng Wenhao's eyes were slightly red. After hearing this, he cupped his hands to Li Zexuan and said, "Thank you sir for your advice. It's Wenhao who is too Meng Lang!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "Haha, it's okay, but your father will be much safer when he goes to sea this time. Go back and tell the prince of Hejian County that he will be the commander of the navy this time. I ask the prince to tell you where your father is." The fleet can be looked after with a little care, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem. Besides, today the division is going to make a small tool for identifying the direction of their fleet. With it, the safety of the fleet will have another layer of protection, Wen Hao If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, why not go to the workshop with my master and see this magical little tool!"
"Yeah, students are asking for it!"
As soon as Meng Wenhao heard that this small tool for identifying directions could provide an additional layer of security for the fleet, he wanted to go and see for himself. It would be best if he could help. After all, this was also related to his father's safety. At this time When he heard Li Zexuan's invitation, there was no reason why he wouldn't agree.
"I'll go too, I'll go too! Mr. Li, your newspaper is really interesting. I want to visit the workshop too!"
Li Yu, who had been reading the newspaper for a long time, also said excitedly at this time. I have to say that this girl is really blessed with great fortune. When she first arrived in Chang'an, although she encountered robbers, she was not in danger. She also made her first money, met Meng Wenhao, and then met the rich man Li Zexuan. , assigned work directly, this luck is really incredible.
"Okay, I just want to take you to see the editorial office of Datang Daily! Sanbao, continue to the workshop!"
Li Zexuan also had this intention. He nodded and shouted outside.
"Okay, Master!"
Sanbao responded and the carriage continued to move slowly.
"Wow! This carriage runs so smoothly!"
"Yeah! There's a toilet and a place to wash hands in this car!"
"Mr. Li, your carriage is really useful. How long can I be a reporter before I can buy a carriage like this?"
As soon as the carriage started moving, Li Yu was like a curious baby. Her voice of wonder could be heard everywhere. It was the first time for Meng Wenhao to ride in such a carriage. Although surprise flashed in his eyes, he was not like Li Yu. What
Li Zexuan looked at Li Yu, thought seriously, and replied: "If you write a news article a day, you can buy a car like this in almost twenty-two years of work! Xiao Yuer works hard, sir, I'm optimistic about it you!"
Li Yu: "... ... ... ... ... ... ..." (I'm optimistic about you mmp!)
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Thank you for loving you. I am the only one who rewards you again and again!
Thanks to fate and luck, the empty city is covered with smoke and sand half the city, and the monthly ticket!
