In the afternoon, the Han family courtyard in Hanjiazhuang.
After Li Zexuan made it clear to the farmers about raising chickens at noon, he and Tiedan went back to the Han family courtyard to rest. There were no extra stools there, and standing was quite tiring. Li Zexuan's laziness and cancer had not gone away. good.
"Tiedan, have you ever attended a school before?" I had nothing to do, so I happened to have a chat with this newly accepted disciple.
"Master, Tiedan attended a private school in the village last year, but then the village ran out of money to provide a private school, so the teacher ran away." Tiedan is no longer called Master Li Zexuan, but Master.
It was also the first time that Li Zexuan heard someone call him master. He felt a little proud and asked happily: "Tie Dan, how many words have you learned after attending a private school for a year?"
Tie Dan scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Master, Tie Dan probably knows more than a hundred words!" He was a famous naughty boy in the school before, and his grades were not good.
Um, so few, not as good as Lan'er. Although Lan'er is young, her mother started teaching her to read and write when she was very young. Although Lan'er's calligraphy in "Journey to the West" last time was immature, it was almost as good as Li Zexuan's calligraphy.
"Tie Dan, you can't do it without being literate. From now on, you have to learn to read with Lan'er every day. Lan'er knows more words than you. As a man, how can he be inferior to a girl?" Li Zexuan patted Tiedan's hand. Shoulder, said earnestly.
"Yes, Master!" Tiedan agreed with a grimace.
"Master, we are back."
Han Yuxi's melodious and clear voice came from the door, followed by Han Lizheng.
Li Zexuan quickly stood up and greeted him, smiling: "Uncle Han, Yu Xi, thank you for your hard work!"
Han Lizheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "What did you say, young master? With this livelihood, our Hanjiazhuang will probably become the richest village near Chang'an. No matter how hard it is, I, Old Han, am willing to do it, haha!"
"Well, Uncle Han, you have to believe me. As long as the farmers work hard, the days to come will only get better and better. By the way, have the number of chickens been counted? How many chickens have the farmers reported?"
Han Lizheng hurriedly handed the booklet in his hand to Li Zexuan and said: "Master, the numbers reported by each household in Hanjiazhuang are recorded in it. Yu Xi and I haven't had time to add them up yet!"
The main reason is that he himself has never been to school, so how can he know how to learn
Li Zexuan opened the brochure and glanced at it, and found that basically every household reported 400 birds, only a dozen households reported 300 or 200 birds, and Han Lizheng himself also reported 400 birds. After Li Zexuan practiced "Tai Xuan Jing", his brain reaction was very fast. After scanning his eyes, he immediately calculated the total amount in his mind.
Closing the booklet, Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Don't bother Uncle Han to do the calculations. I did the math. The farmers have submitted a total of 78,600 chicks. Let me round up the numbers. By then, a total of 80,000 chicks will be purchased." , Uncle Han, please distribute the excess to each household evenly. Even if I give the farmers some kindness, the attached part will not be counted in the amount they will deliver to me next year."
Li Zexuan waved his hand and sent out an additional 1,400 chickens.
Han Lizheng had seen that the young master was able to make deals so quickly, and secretly thought that the young master was really knowledgeable. If Tiedan became a master of the young master, even if he did not learn martial arts, if he could learn three points from the young master, it would be enough for him for a lifetime. Hearing that the young master wanted to send more than a thousand chickens later, Han Lizheng was suddenly shocked and said quickly: "Young master, you must not do it. This...the terms given by the young master are already generous enough. Wouldn't this be a good idea?" Want to lose money?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Uncle Han, this is not worth a lot of money. It can make the villagers live a better life. I am also happy in my heart. If my mother knew about it, she would be even happier than me. Oh, by the way, Uncle Han , I also want you to help me find a kind of person."
"Master, who are you looking for?" Han Lizheng asked curiously.
"That's right, Uncle Han, do you know a person who can make a group of chickens be obedient? For example, if you tell the chickens to face east, the chickens will face east. Are there any such people?"
Li Zexuan is also a little unsure that he can find such a person. If he can't find one, then next year's locust eradication plan will be implemented, and many people will have to be hired to drive the chickens to the ground to eat the locusts, which will be very inefficient. In his previous life, he had seen many chicken training masters on the Internet, and they could train chickens very well. I just don’t know if there was such a strange person in the Tang Dynasty.
Han Li was listening in a daze, wondering: "Well, young master, is there such a person in the world?"
Well, it seems that he really thought too much, and Li Zexuan was a little disappointed.
"Master, I know, I know someone who can make a chicken obey!"
Tiedan next to him jumped up and shouted excitedly.
"Oh, Tiedan, do you really know?" Li Zexuan asked in surprise.
"You brat, don't talk nonsense. Why didn't I know there was such a person in Zhuangzi?" Han Lizheng scolded with a frown.
"Dad, it's true. Uncle Hu's silly son, uh, Uncle Hu's son, can make a group of chickens obedient, and his sister can also do this." Tiedan explained anxiously.
"Oh, does that kid really know this? Why didn't I know?" Han Lizheng asked doubtfully.
Li Zexuan ignored Han Lizheng who was wondering at the side, pulled Tie Dan over, and asked hurriedly: "Tie Dan, please tell Master quickly, what's going on?"
"Yes, Master. It's just that Uncle Hu has a son who doesn't like to play with the children in our village since he was a child. He usually stays alone in the small courtyard at home, keeping company with their chickens. We privately They all called him Hu Xiaosi.
One time I went to Uncle Hu's house to help my father return something. I saw him and his sister playing with some chickens in the yard. I saw him croaking strangely, and the chickens ran eastward. His sister croaked, The chickens ran back again, and the chickens were not afraid of them at all. I thought it was strange at the time. After hearing what you said just now, Master, I think they quite meet the conditions you said, Master. "
"Oh, it's great that this happened. Tiedan, what are the names of these two children? I have to go and meet them." Li Zexuan had given up hope at first, but he didn't expect it to turn out again, and he couldn't help but feel excited. .
"Master, Hu Xiaosha's real name is Hu Guoran, and his sister's name is Hu Jingran. If Master wants to see them, I can take Master there." Tiedan replied.
Li Zexuan, who was about to take the step to meet the two children with Tiedan, staggered when he heard these two strange names and almost lost his center of gravity.
"Um, why are their names so weird?" Li Zexuan wondered.
Han Yuxi on the side explained at this time: "Master, I know this. It is said that when Aunt Liu was pregnant, Uncle Hu wanted to have a boy, so he went to the Taoist temple in Xicheng, Chang'an to find a fortune teller. The Taoist said that Aunt Liu was pregnant with a boy. Uncle Hu was so happy that he went home and told Aunt Liu. When Aunt Liu gave birth, she found that it was a girl. Uncle Hu named her Hu Jingran.
A year later, Aunt Liu was pregnant again. Uncle Hu went to another Taoist temple to have his fortune told. A Taoist priest there said that this time Aunt Liu was definitely pregnant with a boy. Later, Aunt Liu gave birth to a boy, and Uncle Hu named the boy Hu Guoran. "
Li Zexuan was shocked after hearing this and was speechless for a long time. He mourned in his heart for these two unlucky children who had such an inconspicuous father. The world is really big and full of wonders. There are many weird things in modern society, but I didn’t expect to encounter such weird things in the Tang Dynasty.
"Uncle Han, could you please take me to meet those two children? I'm quite interested in their abilities."
Han Lizheng nodded and said, "Okay, then Yu Xi, you and Tiedan can stay home and cook. After being busy for so long at noon, the young master must be hungry. We'll be back soon."
Han Yuxi nodded and agreed: "Well, Dad, Yuxi will go cook now."
