"That's how it is. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this kid's decision may be extremely stupid, but there are some things that will never succeed if you don't try. This kid's family is rich, and he could have lived a comfortable life without worrying about food or clothing. However, if a man doesn't show his ambition, he's just a waste of his body! "
"This kid believes that a life of trial and error is more glorious and meaningful than a life of idleness. Therefore, whether it's for myself or to carry forward my master's lifelong learning, this kid must build this academy, and it must be the best academy in the Tang Empire!"
In the side hall of the editorial department.
"If a man doesn't show his ambition, he's just a waste of his body!"
Li Gang was still immersed in Li Zexuan's plan to establish his own school and establish an academy. When he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but be stunned in his seat. He muttered to himself, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter. A moment later, he clapped his hands and praised,
"Good! Good! Good! This old man originally thought that you just left in a fit of anger, but I didn't expect you to have such lofty aspirations! A month ago, you stabilized the paper price, and now you've launched the Tang Empire Dictionary. In the future, you'll establish an academy to educate the common people. It seems that you've been prepared for this for a long time! "
"Haha! Kid, no matter what other people think, and no matter whether your knowledge is miscellaneous or not, this old man will support you! Your contributions to the culture and education of the Tang Empire will one day be recorded in the annals of history! In the future, if you have any use for these old bones of mine, just tell me! "
Li Zexuan was overjoyed. He thought that although Li Gang received orthodox Confucian education, his thinking was not pedantic at all! When the academy was built in the future, it would be good to invite Li Gang to be an "honorary professor"!
"This Ma also supports Lord Jue! A few months ago, Lord Jue said that he would let all the poor children of the Tang Empire be able to afford to study. At that time, no one believed him, but now, our strange culture is infinitely close to this goal! Now that Lord Jue has established his own school and set up an academy, I am very willing to lend Lord Jue a hand! "
When Li Zexuan was telling Li Gang about his conversation with Li Zexuan yesterday, Ma Zhou had already returned from the printing department. Therefore, he knew the whole story from beginning to end. At this time, he stood on Li Zexuan's side without hesitation.
"Thank you for your understanding! Thank you for your support, Brother Ma! After the academy is built, I'll have to trouble Mr. Li to teach the students a thing or two! "
Li Zexuan said sincerely.
People who were noble, open-minded, and tolerant were the easiest to gain the favor of others. Li Gang was such a person.
"Haha! When the time comes, you better treat me with good wine and good food. Otherwise, this old man won't go and mess around! "
Li Gang pointed at Li Zexuan and joked.
"Haha! If Mr. Li is willing to come, not to mention good wine and good food, this little one is willing to send you mountains of gold and silver! "
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
"Hey! This old man has half of his body in the ground. I don't want your mountains of gold and silver! "
Li Gang scolded with a smile.
.....
"Here, Mr. Li, this is a new carriage developed by our workshop. The interior is spacious and the facilities are complete. You won't feel the slightest bump in it! Your house is quite far from here. Why don't you take this carriage home? "
In the evening.
Li Zexuan and Ma Zhou sent Li Gang to the front yard of the workshop. Said with a smile.
Li Gang's house was in Qujiang Square, located in the southeast corner of Chang 'an City. It was about ten miles away from An Yi Square where the workshop was located. When Li Gang went back, he brought four jars of wine with him. Li Zexuan certainly wouldn't let an old man in his seventies or eighties travel so far alone!
"Tsk, tsk. When it comes to enjoyment, no one in the whole Great Tang can compare with you! Okay! This old man will be disrespectful to refuse! Otherwise, with my old arms and legs, it will take a lot of effort to get home! "
Li Gang lifted the curtain and looked at the luxurious interior of the carriage. He turned and pointed at Li Zexuan and joked with a smile.
"Hehe! You flatter me! One should work hard to earn so much money in one's life. In addition to helping others, one should also enjoy and enjoy himself! "
"Haha! You're interesting! "
Li Gang laughed and got into the carriage with the help of the servant. He tried the sofa and couldn't help but exclaim, "Tsk, tsk! This old man still underestimated you! This carriage is more comfortable than I imagined! "
"If you like it, how about I give you one?"
Li Zexuan laughed outside the window.
"Haha! I won't accept a reward for nothing. Your carriage is so luxurious that it must be worth a lot. This old man can't afford it! "
Li Gang waved his hand and refused without hesitation.
He could accept a few jars of Tenderness, but this carriage was too expensive. How could Li Gang be willing to accept it?
"You can't say that. Old Mister has been working tirelessly on the revision of the Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty. How can a mere carriage compare to Old Mister's efforts?"
"Hey! This old man didn't help you edit the dictionary for you! This dictionary is the foundation of the future prosperity of the literary world of Tang! "
Li Gang let out a sigh and said:
"Let's go! It's getting late! I'm going back! Tomorrow I'll write a preface for the Tang Dictionary and send it over! "
"Take care, old man! Xiaosi, take good care of the old man! "
Seeing that Li Gang insisted on not accepting it, Li Zexuan did not force him. He saluted Li Gang and then instructed Song Xiaosi.
"Yes, young master!"
Song Xiaosi nodded and drove the carriage away.
"Brother Ma, the workshop will spare a carriage for Old Man Li in the future!"
Seeing that Li Gang had left, Li Zexuan turned around and said to Ma Zhou.
"Yes, that's right. Old Man Li is too old!"
Ma Zhou nodded and replied.
"Hey, young master, since you're here, I have something to tell you!"
At this moment, Uncle Fu hurried over.
Li Zexuan was surprised and said, "Oh? Faubert, what's the matter? "
"Young master, you've ordered the workshop to speed up the production of the new carriages. We haven't dared to slack off. As of today, the workshop has produced more than 50 new carriages! Do you think we can sell this new batch of carriages first? This way we can recover some of the money and use it for turnover! "
Faubert said worriedly.
The cost of a new carriage was as high as 400 to 500 strings of coins. Faubert was also under a lot of pressure from the workshop. After all, the cost alone was more than 20,000 strings of coins. It was not a small sum. If they were sold as soon as possible, there would be a surplus of money. That was why Faubert was so eager to sell the new carriages.
