"Little Xuan, is this a telegraph machine? I've heard Father mention it before. It's said that it can send messages from far away. Today, I've finally seen its true form! "
After all, she was still his sister. Li Chengqian saw Changle's embarrassed face and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. However, his interest in this telegraph machine was real.
Hearing this, Li Zexuan's eyes moved away from Changle's blushing face. He nodded and replied,
"Yes, that's right. This is a wireless telegraph machine!"
"Tsk tsk, how magical! It's amazing that such an iron box can send messages to each other from so far away! "
Li Chengqian walked to the side and looked at it seriously for a moment. He kept making "tsk tsk" sighs. Then he turned his head and said to Li Zexuan,
"Xiao Xuan, although I don't know how to make those scooters, plows, bearings, and so on, I can still understand them. But for this telegraph machine, even if you explain it to me, I probably won't be able to understand it! I keep feeling that this iron box is wrapped in endless mystery! Little Xuan, you're really getting better and better. Is this the engineering you were talking about? "
"Yes, this is engineering. It includes many other basic subjects. Chengqian, it's normal that you don't understand it!"
Li Zexuan had never expected people from the Tang Dynasty to be able to understand electromagnetism now. That was an extravagant hope. However, after his Yanhuang College was built, this would no longer be an extravagant hope.
"Oh! I also heard that Little Xuan wants to build an academy to teach the engineering you talked about. If there's anything you need help with in the future, just tell me. If I can help, I'll definitely do my best to help! "
Speaking up to here, Li Chengqian sighed and said sincerely, "If I were just an ordinary person, I would definitely enter your Yanhuang College. Listening to the engineering you talked about, I keep feeling that it's not the knowledge of the human world. Unfortunately, it's not up to me!"
Li Zexuan said unhappily, "Don't make trouble here! Chengqian, you were born with a noble status and didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Do you know how many people envy you? If you're still not satisfied, how are those poor commoners going to live ~? As the saying goes, be content with what you have. When you are envious of others, you don't know that even more people are envious of you! "
Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Be content with what you have … Looks like I still don't understand it as well as you, Little Xuan!"
"Brother Little Xuan, where are you going to build your academy? Was there enough money? If it's not enough, Changle can give up this year's bonus! "
When Changle heard them talking about Yanhuang College, she raised her head and said.
"Hehe, no need, no need! I have more than enough money! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand in relief and said with a smile, "The Academy will be built in Plum Village in the east of Chang 'an City. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is beautiful. It's very suitable for learning. Moreover, it's not far from Chang' an City. If Changle and Chengqian have time in the future, you can visit Yanhuang College. After my Academy is built, it will definitely be beyond your imagination!"
"Oh ~? Is that so ~? When the time comes, Changle must go and have a look! "
Changle blinked her eyes and said excitedly.
"Little Xuan, how big is your Academy going to be?"
The more Li Chengqian listened, the more he felt that something was amiss. How was this building an Academy? This was building a f * cking villa!
"Haha, it's not that big. The Cloud Mountain behind Plum Village is about a thousand acres! After some rest, it should be enough to build Yanhuang College! "
Li Zexuan rubbed his chin and said.
A thousand acres!
Li Chengqian and his sister were instantly petrified.
…
"Brother Crown Prince, Changle heard from Lan 'er that this telegraph machine was made by Brother Little Xuan to relieve Sister Yuxi's boredom. Brother Little Xuan is so good to Sister Yuxi!"
On the carriage back to the palace, Changle shifted her gaze from outside the window and said as she held her little face.
"Oh ~? I didn't expect Little Xuan to be a guy who forgets his friends over his lust! "
Li Chengqian had never heard Li Er mention this before. He couldn't help but say with a cheeky look.
"Hmph ~! What do you mean by forgetting his friends over his lust? It's obviously Brother Little Xuan who values his friends, okay ~? "
Changle rolled her eyes at her brother and secretly thought that her brother Crown Prince was really unromantic!
"Eh ~"
After being together for so many years, how could Li Chengqian not understand what Changle's expression meant? His face was full of black lines. He wanted to explain but didn't know how to. He could only blame Li Zexuan.
"Brother Crown Prince, if Changle can be like Sister Yuxi in the future and marry someone who loves me so much, Changle will have no regrets even if I die! But it's said that the marriage of the children of the royal family can never be decided by themselves. In another three years, Father and Mother will probably arrange a marriage for Changle. Changle is so scared, so scared that I'll marry the wrong person. But Changle doesn't want to make Father and Mother unhappy. Brother Crown Prince, what should Changle do ~? "
The carriage was silent for a few breaths of time. Changle suddenly raised her watery eyes and looked at her brother as she said with a pained expression.
Li Chengqian had always doted on his sister. Now that he saw Changle like this, his heart felt as if it was pierced by a needle. He hurriedly said,
"Don't think like that, Changle. Father and Mother have doted on you since you were young. They definitely won't let you marry someone who doesn't love you. Besides, I'll definitely speak up for you when the time comes!"
…
"Hey ~! Faubert? Busy? "
After sending Li Chengqian and his sister off, Li Zexuan let Lan 'er "chat" with Han Yuxi at home while he went to the workshop to see how the printing of the Tang Dynasty Dictionary was going.
"Yo ~! Young Master, you're here ~! "
Faubert put down the stack of papers in his hand and said with a bitter smile, "Young Master, the entire workshop is so busy that their feet don't even touch the ground now. I'm no exception ~!"
"Eh ~"
Li Zexuan scratched his head in embarrassment. He was here today to give the workshop an "additional task"! With Faubert in such a state, how could he say it out loud?
"Faubert, it seems that our workshop still needs to be expanded a little bit ~!"
Now, the workshop's products were still in short supply. Even though the scooters had been launched for several months, they still didn't have to worry about sales. Generally, when the workshop produced something, it would definitely be sold out within five or six days. That was because foreign merchants liked to resell.
As for the new products, needless to say, the demand in Chang 'an City couldn't be met by the workshop. People in other places certainly couldn't enjoy the latest "technology" of the Fantastic Pavilion workshop immediately.
"Young Master, you've seen the workshop now. Even if I want to recruit more people, I don't have a place to settle them down!"
It was reasonable to say that the workshop of the Odd Taste Pavilion occupied a large area, occupying nearly a quarter of the entire An Yi Lane. However, it was wishful thinking to use the productivity of this small area to meet the needs of the entire An Yi Lane and even the entire Tang Empire!
