Chapter 2 Cheap Business?
But Yang Zhong went out and asked the maids guarding the door to help Li Xian tidy up his appearance, and asked the craftsmen to repair the door, and then came to Master Li Yulong's room.
Yang Zhong stood still at the door of the room before he bowed and said, "Master."
"How?" Li Yulong looked like he was in his thirties, with a calm demeanor.
"Returning to the master, the young master has fully recovered. After inspection, the soul and body are perfectly integrated, and there is no situation of taking away the body. It can be confirmed that the young master has really recovered. It's just that the young master seems to have other experiences when he left his soul."
Afterwards, Yang Zhong explained in detail what he saw and heard, including Li Xian's request and so on.
After listening quietly, Li Yulong finally laughed, and made a rare joke: "It's normal to encounter some strange things during the period of leaving the soul. It is said that some people have seen black and white impermanence, and even Huangquan.
Since he wants a craftsman, let him go directly to the workshop, it's better than going out and causing trouble. "
"Yes." After Yang Zhong withdrew, Li Yulong finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his brows, and continued to immerse himself in the paperwork. As the imperial censor of the Great Xia Kingdom, Li Yulong was under a lot of pressure.
When the butler Yang Zhong came back again, Li Xian was frowning. This Master Li Yulong is also amazing, the maids assigned to Li Xian are either old or rough-looking-well, this is an elegant way of saying it, and the direct way of saying it is that they look sorry for the audience.
Seeing Yang Zhong coming back, Li Xian immediately jumped away, "Uncle Yang, does my father agree?"
Yang Zhong smiled slightly, "Master, the master has already agreed. Let's go directly to the workshop."
Li Xian was overjoyed. "That's great!
Ah, Uncle Yang, is my father in the study? I'm going to say hello to my father first. "
Looking at Li Xian's back, Yang Zhong was stunned for a while, and finally sighed, "Please, please? Maybe, the prodigal son really turned around."
Li Xian went to pay his respects, not to mention how happy Li Yulong was, he encouraged and comforted Li Xian a few words, and he didn't ask about Li Xian's changes and his experience of leaving his soul. ;Cultivation is the most important thing.
"Cultivation?" After leaving the door, Li Xian sighed. The consciousness in this body is really capable. With such good aptitude and the cultivation conditions that ordinary people can only look up to, he only practiced to the stage of refining Qi. The fifth floor is quite a distance from the Dzogchen on the tenth floor. This distance is called "far away, out of reach".
"Looks like I'll be busy in the future."
After getting out of the door and getting into the carriage, Li Xian probed his head and looked at the tall surrounding walls. This place is full of rich and powerful, solemn and solemn.
After the carriage had traveled more than three miles, they came to the bustling outer city. Compared with the solemn and solemn inner city, the outer city is a sea of joy, at least it seems so.
The crowd was surging, practitioners, knights, scholars, scholars, officials, businessmen, peddlers, entertainers and actors, etc. Li Xian was dazzled. The carriage took the unimpeded official road, and after a while, it left Wuyang (city), the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, and ran wildly into the wild.
Along the way, Yang Zhong explained some general information to Li Xian:
First of all, for better centralization and control, officials and a few immediate family members live in the city; but the main families, workshops, guards, etc. are all outside the city.
Secondly, workshops and craftsmen, handicrafts, some general technologies, even farming, textiles, etc., are low-level industries in the fairyland. The so-called cheap karma refers to ordinary people's means of earning a living compared to "cultivation".
For Xianyu, cultivation is the main thing and the most noble behavior. Only through cultivation can one obtain powerful power, long life, and noble status.
"Stop!"
Li Xian was in the middle of the house, when suddenly there was a scolding from outside the carriage. How dare someone scold Li's carriage in the street? ! Curiosity in Li Xian's heart was greater than anger.
Yang Zhong lifted the curtain and sneered: "I don't know who it is, it turned out to be the prime minister's son Ouyang Qing. Why did the eldest son stop our carriage?"
Li Xian's heart moved, knowing that this was what Yang Zhong told him. Immediately looked at the other party, a young man in his twenties, riding a white horse, a very ordinary white horse, not Tang Seng's white dragon horse.
Ouyang Qing pointed at Yang Zhong and Li Xian with a horsewhip, "My father told me that anyone who sees the Li family will be scolded. You treacherous ministers who will harm the country and the people will not end well!"
After finishing speaking, Ouyang Qing turned around gracefully and was about to ride away.
Your sister, Li Xian is annoyed, he was stopped and scolded for no reason, it really is unreasonable! Immediately sneered, "The thief shouted "Catch the thief. Uncle Yang, let's go. It's a waste of time to argue with this kind of street-swearing shrew."
As soon as Li Xian said this, Ouyang Qing was stunned with anger.
Yang Zhong laughed out loud when he heard this, and immediately ordered the coachman to ride his horse forward. "Master, you scolded me too much just now."
Li Xian was very wronged: "Uncle Yang, I'm just telling a fact."
Amidst Yang Zhong's laughter, the coachman happily drove the carriage to Li's workshop ten miles away. The workshop is very large, covering an area of almost 30 acres.
After entering the gate, Yang Zhong took Li Xian to meet the principal here, Li Youwei, who was also a member and side branch of the Li family. According to his seniority, Li Xian still called him uncle.
After a brief greeting, Li Xian got straight to the point. "Third Uncle, I want to see Jasper Lantern's workshop."
"Why, your jasper lamp is broken?"
Li Xian shook his head: "Third uncle, that jasper lamp is very good, I'm here to learn."
"Why do you learn this kind of cheap business!" Li Youwei obviously has a common problem in the fairyland, even if he himself is the person in charge of the workshop, he still looks down on this so-called cheap business.
Li Xian can't laugh or cry, your concepts are too deep-rooted, it seems that I am a little optimistic. But Li Xian, who has made up his mind, is absolutely unable to pull back even if he has nine dragons. And Li Xian also has a plan. Lamps and lights are the easiest things to accept, and they are also the most inseparable things.
But how should I say this? As soon as he turned his eyes, he found a solution, "Third Uncle, your jasper lamp is too rigid, and there is no artistry at all. I am going to make a lotus lamp for father to use."
"Stupid? Are you saying that the jasper lamp given to you is ugly? It is already the best in the workshop!" Li Youwei was a little unhappy.
"Third uncle, third uncle, just let me go in and play, how about?"
"Playing?" Li Youwei's face turned dark. But Li Xian couldn't stand his cheating, so he finally let go, "Yes, but you can't delay their work."
"Of course, I'll just take a look." Li Xian couldn't wait to agree to all the conditions. Sure enough, everything is difficult at the beginning.
Seeing that the matter was completed, Yang Zhong left; Li Youwei took Li Xian inside and introduced him by the way.
There is a jade workshop here, responsible for jade carving, including ordinary talisman seals, etc., and the jasper lamp is made in a workshop here;
There are also forging workshops, where weapons, armor, farm tools, etc. are produced;
There are also textile workshops and wood workshops;
Finally, there is the most important "dharma tool workshop", which mainly produces items that practitioners can use. The output is very low, but the profit is the highest.
Li Xian stared at the magic weapon workshop for a long time, but finally did not enter the magic weapon workshop, because only the lowest-level magic weapon was qualified to refine in the foundation building period, Li Xian can only go to the ordinary jade workshop to communicate with jade craftsmen.
The person in charge of the jade workshop is a monk in the Qi refining period, Sun Ming, an old jade craftsman.
"I met Senior Sun." Li Xian came here with the attitude of studying, very humble. Li Youwei's jaw dropped in shock after watching, shouldn't you go up and scold him arrogantly?
Seeing that the domineering young master was so polite, Sun Ming was a little "scared" for a while, and was at a loss.
Li Xian was so embarrassed that he had to bow again, "Senior Sun, I'm here to study, please enlighten me."
"This... ah... that... how to make it..." Sun Ming was really at a loss this time. The young master who was well-clothed and well-fed actually wanted to learn a lowly job?
Finally, Li Youwei noticed that this kid seemed to have really changed: "Old Sun, my nephew is already a prodigal son. Please bear with me a little longer."
Li Youwei spoke up, and it was hard for Sun Ming to refuse; it was just that there was always a little bit of anxiety in his heart.
