Clear and bright jade plate, misty and immortal. Suddenly I hear homesickness, peaceful and full moon.
"Brother Yi, you can accompany Duke Yue and Princess Jin Xian." Li Longji said to Li Yi while hugging his son.
He, Empress Wang and Li Chengqi met Ye Fashan at the bridge. It looked like a chance encounter, but it was actually arranged on purpose.
Both parties cupped their fists and bowed. Li Longji and the rest crossed the bridge first.
He doted on his sister. Other princesses were given a thousand households, but Princess Jin Xian was given a thousand and four hundred households.
He even specially set up a Golden Immortal temple for her and did not care about other things.
However, when it came to Li Yi, he did not want Princess Jin Xian to come into contact with him.
He had already decided that today would be a day of fun. He would not come looking for her in the future.
"No need. I have already talked to Old Ye. He will help find people to study chemistry. The students are not focused and always want to be officials. It is better to be a Daoist."
Li Yi did not want to accompany those two people. There was nothing to talk about. Talk about Daoist scriptures? He still had to 'watch'. It was tiring.
Since they had already discussed the matter, Ye Fashan found people to help make three acids and two bases, as well as white phosphorus.
For the time being, he would provide the materials. In the future, he would look at the situation and teach the Daoists better chemistry knowledge.
The Daoists had to be strictly selected and could not reveal any secrets.
On the other hand, Princess Jin Xian was not very happy. She kept thinking about Li Yi.
She found that Li Yi was avoiding her. It was not that he looked down on her or was afraid of her. It seemed that he found her troublesome.
"He said that he would know everything if you ask. I just want to ask some things. He won't even compose a poem for me. "Princess Jin Xian mumbled.
"Princess, you don't have to be like this. Li Yi's ideas are all for the benefit of the people. What you are asking is a personal matter. Of course, he won't answer."
Ye Fashan comforted at the side while watching the performance.
Today, Xinyan and the rest were invited by Li Yi. In addition, there were 221 students in Zhuangzi. It was very lively.
Various small mooncakes with various fillings were snacks. There were also fruits, mainly grapes.
"I don't know what Third Elder Brother is thinking. He still wants to hide it. Li Yi is so smart. Can't he guess?"
Princess Jinxian felt that she should get Li Yi into the imperial court. It was not good for him to be like this.
Ye Fashan smiled and shook his head. He didn't answer the question. Having lived to this age, he had already seen through many things.
After taking a sip of last year's wine, Princess Jin Xian suddenly smiled.
"Master, now we have something fun. What three acids and two bases? Isn't this something that can be made from alchemy? It's just that Li Yi's method is more detailed."
Princess Jinxian thought of the chemical experiment, and Li Yi gave her some simple things.
Various combinations and how to operate them.
"This thing can't be easily spread out to prevent others from learning it. This is a study that can help one fight for the world."
Ye Fashan was very impressed by Li Yi's talent in alchemy. Li Yi knew how to refine pills, but he didn't refine them.
Li Yi, on the other hand, wrote down what kind of thing would kill people if they ate it. He even didn't need to eat it. If he refined pills frequently, he would be exposed to smoke and his lifespan would be short.
"Master, his printing on Zhuangzi is good. The paper is good too. Why don't we print some things?"
"No, I'm going to find someone to raise money and make a set of printed things."
"When the time comes, we can print whatever we want. If he passes down the method of making paper, we can build a paper workshop."
Princess Jinxian liked to give books to others. She would do it now.
In the future, when Li Longji felt that Buddhism was enough, he wanted to fuse Buddhism and Taoism. Princess Jinxian even gave many books, which made the monks extremely happy.
"Sure!" Ye Fashan had the same idea. He could contact others and pay together.
"Right, we can make it ourselves. I have to ask Li Yi how to make it." Princess Jinxian realized that she didn't know how to make it.
Zhuangzi only sold newspapers and never said how to make movable type printing.
Everyone had their guesses, but they couldn't make it.
"Look for Li Yi, look for Li Yi. I have something important to do." Princess Jinxian found a reason.
She looked for the manager in charge of Zhuangzi.
Song De wasn't around. Song De was at Grief Tian Square, delivering mooncakes.
The children who sold newspapers each took eight large mooncakes. They could eat them for two days when they went back. They were quite oily.
There was a salted pork filling inside. He told the children that it could last for three days at most. After that, it couldn't be eaten anymore.
Song De gave Grief Tian Square mooncakes filled with nuts. There was a lot of sugar, and sugar was used to suppress the bacteria.
Every mooncake was wrapped in oil paper. This way, it could last for ten days. The meat was given separately.
It was stewed chicken. There was a thick layer of oil on it. The chicken was fat.
There were always people taking care of Grief Tian Square. The food they usually ate wasn't good, but they could fill their stomachs. They would eat meat every ten days.
The people in Grief Tian Square would make arrangements if they could do something.
When they died, they would arrange for a coffin to be buried.
The newspapers said that the moon on August 15th should be a reunion for families. The people believed it.
It wasn't night yet, and there was no moon. Many people were ready to watch the moon at night.
In Zhuangzi, the second manager, Xun Xin, came to Li Yi. He said that Princess Jinxian had something important to discuss with him.
"Did she say what it was?" Li Yi didn't want to go.
He didn't feel that the private lives of the princesses were bad. That was their freedom. The Tang dynasty was also open-minded.
He simply didn't want to interact with the princesses. He knew that the princesses had a problem. They liked to recommend talents to the imperial court.
For example, Princess True Jade had recommended Li Bai and Wang Wei. Both of them were great talents in poetry.
Wang Wei's poetry included paintings and poems. It also had a Zen meaning.
Like the lone smoke in the desert, the setting sun in the long river.
When he read it, it was a painting. It wasn't bleak, but warm. After the Tang dynasty, a pillar of smoke rose, representing peace.
He met Princess True Jade and was recommended by her. However, Wang Wei was talented and could take the Jinshi exam.
Li Bai couldn't. Li Bai was used to attending from a young age. Because he came from a place that had nothing to do with the imperial examination, he couldn't get a spot.
Princess True Jade helped him meet Li Longji. Unfortunately, Li Longji didn't want poetry. Reading poetry was a pleasure.
Li Yi pondered. If he got to know those princesses …
Which man was intimate with the princess and came over to ask him to find a way to recommend him?
It would be easy if he didn't want to be a high-ranking official. He was afraid that he would have to enter the imperial court as an official with real power.
As Li Yi thought about it, Xun Xin waited by the side. Seeing that Dongzhu was distracted after asking, he didn't dare to disturb him.
Li Longji said, "What's the matter?"
"It seems that she wants to learn printing and print her own books," Xun Xin replied to Li Longji.
"Teach her. I won't teach her ink, but I can buy it." Li Yi came back to his senses. He still didn't want to go.
He had already thought about how to deal with people who might come over to attend in the future.
First, he would chat and see their talent. Then, he would determine how to find connections.
Famous people like Li Bai and Du Fu could be directly sent to any county in the capital to be a registrar, deputy county magistrate, or county lieutenant.
Look, they didn't need to take the exam to be the director of the county's finance bureau or deputy county head, the director of the county's public security bureau, and political and legal high official.
This wasn't a small official, right? If it were him, how many years would it take to reach this position?
Moreover, it would be in the various districts of the capital. His rank was higher than others.
If such a famous person didn't like a small official, there was nothing he could do. Even if he could find a way to give him the position of provincial governor, what would his first step be?
As Li Yi was thinking about this, the sky darkened and a bright moon slowly rose from the east.
