Along the way, the carriage was filled with laughter and laughter. It didn't take long for the carriage to enter Yongle Lane and arrive in front of the Li Residence.
Cheng Chumo reluctantly got down from the "Don't Touch Me" carriage. He had never sat in such a comfortable carriage before. Li Zexuan angrily slapped his hand away. Along the way, every part of the carriage was touched by this fellow. Fortunately, the carriage was sturdy. Otherwise, he really suspected that the carriage would be "fractured" by this fellow.
In the end, Cheng Chumo still turned around and left.
Li Zexuan asked someone to bring the carriage in. He followed Faubert and Yan Shaoning to the front hall.
Li Zexuan asked in satisfaction, "Shaoning, how does it feel to sit in this carriage?"
"Comfortable, comfortable. I feel that this carriage is very suitable for long distance travel. Sitting in it, I don't feel tired at all."
Yan Shaoning thought for a while and replied.
"Haha, even Brother Shaoning said it's good. Then it will definitely sell well. Faubert, the workshop will organize people to speed up the production of this new type of carriage. First, make twenty of them and send them to me. I have a use for them."
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said to Faubert with a laugh.
Faubert was dumbfounded and stupefied, "Young … Young Master, what do you need so many carriages for?"
The cost of twenty carriages was more than ten thousand strings of cash. Faubert couldn't help but be surprised.
"A part of it is to give to people. In the past few months when I returned to Chang 'an, I owed a lot of people. It's easy to repay money, but it's not easy to repay a debt of gratitude. This carriage can not only repay a part of the favor, but also make a name for myself in the circle of nobles. As for the other part of the carriage, I have a use for it! "
Li Zexuan thought in his heart. This young master is about to get married. When I pick up the bride, how can I do it without a grand carriage?
Faubert was speechless and could only agree.
"Oh right, Faubert, how's the paper machine? Are there any difficulties? "
After talking about eating, drinking, and having fun, Li Zexuan finally remembered what he wanted to do.
"Young Master, the paper machine's structure is complicated, and the amount of work required to build it early is quite large. It's not difficult to build it according to the blueprint, but it will take some time."
Faubert thought for a moment and replied.
"How long will it take?"
"Seven days!"
Li Zexuan frowned and muttered to himself, "Are there not enough ordinary craftsmen in the workshop, or are there too few skilled craftsmen?"
"Of course it's because there are too few skilled craftsmen. Young Master, skilled craftsmen are too hard to find. I'm afraid there are less than ten skilled craftsmen in the workshop."
Faubert said with a bitter face.
Li Zexuan thought for a while, but he didn't have any good ideas.
He could only say, "Faubert, send more people to other states and counties to look for craftsmen. As long as they are skilled and are willing to come to our workshop, we can talk about the benefits and treatment. As for the paper machine, you guys should try to speed up the progress. Ma Zhou is almost done with the preparations, and we're just waiting for you guys to start. Oh, Shaoning happens to be free these few days. Why don't you go to the workshop and help Faubert with the paper machine? This should be able to speed up the progress a lot. "
Li Zexuan looked at Yan Shaoning, who was leisurely at the side, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he suggested.
Faubert quickly nodded in agreement. He admired Yan Shaoning's mechanical talent very much.
Yan Shaoning staggered, and his face was full of black lines. He had just been "released" from his father's prison sentence, and now he was going to be "thrown into prison" by Li Zexuan. Just as he was about to object, he saw Li Zexuan raise a finger and said,
"Brother Shaoning, don't refuse. This paper machine is very important, and it must be done as soon as possible! Moreover, this workshop also has your shares. At worst, I'll give you a 'Don't Touch Me' carriage after it's done. How about it? "
Yan Shaoning was a little moved, and he nodded after a moment. Unlike Li Zexuan, who casually owned dozens of 'Don't Touch Me' carriages, in the Tang Dynasty, a carriage was a very precious asset for other families.
… … …
After dinner, Li Zexuan went to Mingyue Xuan and saw Iron Egg squatting on a big rock beside the pond, hugging his knees, and looking at the moon in the sky in a daze.
Li Zexuan's heart was slightly moved. It seemed that his little sister was right. Iron Egg really had something on his mind. Could it be that this kid had taken a fancy to a girl and started to think about love? If that's really the case, what should I do? This is obviously puppy love! As his master, should I stop it?
Li Zexuan's thoughts ran wild in the distance. The more he thought, the more tangled he became. In the end, he shook his head and slowly walked towards Iron Egg.
"Iron Egg, what are you thinking about?"
Li Zexuan walked behind Iron Egg and found that this kid was still in a daze, so he could only ask.
"Ah, uh ~ Master, you're here?"
Iron Egg heard the sound and instantly woke up. This child was a little panicked and hurriedly said.
"Don't be nervous. Come, come, sit down. Tell me, what were you thinking about just now? Why were you so lost in thought?"
Li Zexuan patted his disciple's shoulder and said in a gentle tone.
Iron Egg obeyed and sat down, but his eyes were somewhat evasive when he looked at Li Zexuan.
"Say it!"
"Master, Iron Egg was … was not thinking about anything!"
"There must be something. Do you think I don't know you kid? Hurry up and say it. What can't we talk about?"
"Master, it's … it's really nothing!"
This kid seemed to be born in the year of the walnut. Li Zexuan frowned and suddenly said with a smirk, "Oh ~ I understand. Did you fall in love with a little girl? You were just looking at the moon and thinking about love! Iron Egg, it's not that I don't want you to find a wife. It's just that you are still young and should put your mind on your studies … "
Having such an unreliable master, Iron Egg almost vomited blood in his heart. His cheeks instantly swelled red and he hurriedly stood up and waved his hand, "Master, it's not like that. It's not like that!"
"Then what is it like? If you have nothing on your mind, why would you be staring at the moon in a daze? Hurry up and say it. You're a man, why are you wasting time! "
Li Zexuan slapped Iron Egg down again.
With Li Zexuan's jesting, the atmosphere of the conversation instantly became relaxed. Iron Egg was no longer as reserved as before. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, are you going to marry my sister?"
He had been staying with the Li family all this time, so he had more or less heard about Li Zexuan's marriage.
Li Zexuan nodded and frowned, "Yes, Iron Egg, could it be that you don't want your sister to marry me?"
"Uh ~"
Iron Egg scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Yes, and no!"
"Kid, what are you trying to say?"
Li Zexuan angrily knocked Iron Egg's forehead.
Iron Egg hurriedly said with a conflicted face, "Master, Iron Egg has been thinking recently. If Master marries my sister, will Iron Egg call you brother-in-law in the future? Or Master? Yes, he called me big sister. Where's big sister? Or Master's wife? "
"Uh …"
Holy shit, even though Li Zexuan was used to all kinds of strange questions, he was still shocked by Iron Egg's two powerful questions!
