"Master, this is my nephew Fu Bin!"
Back in Yunshan, Uncle Fu had already been waiting outside the courtyard with a young man. Li Zexuan took them directly to the study room on the first floor. Uncle Fu smiled and introduced the young man beside him to Li Zexuan.
"Um!"
Li Zexuan nodded, and then began to look at the young man. This young man was about twenty-five or sixty years old, with a handsome face, a high nose, and a pair of eyes that were half smart and half timid. It is said that appearance comes from the heart. Just looking at his face, he is a young man who is a little smart and a little timid.
fine!
Li Zexuan doesn't need the kind of person who is not afraid of heaven and earth. He thinks that a person must have a sense of awe, so that he will not violate the rules when doing things.
"You brat, why don't you meet the young master quickly~?"
Uncle Fu slapped the young man on the back of the head and scolded him.
The young man staggered forward two steps, quickly bent towards Li Zexuan and said: "Young Fu Bin, I have met the young master!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Well, you don't have to be polite! I treat Uncle Fu like an elder. Since you are Uncle Fu's nephew, you are part of the family!"
Fu Bin lowered his head and said, "The young master is showing love to you, but the young one doesn't dare!"
Li Zexuan no longer forced himself, he asked: "Do you know martial arts?"
He asked this question because he saw that Fu Bin's foot was very stable.
Fu Bin scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I can't say that I know martial arts, I just know some boxing and kicking skills!"
Uncle Fu couldn't help but interject at this moment: "This kid has not liked reading since he was a child. He has never learned how to dance and write, but he has learned a lot of tricks! If it weren't for your support, young master, this kid would never be able to make a name for himself in his life!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "Haha! Uncle Fu, you can't say that. With three hundred and sixty lines, you can become the number one scholar. Studying is not the only way to live your life! As long as Fu Bin keeps his feet on the ground, he will definitely have his own future. !”
When Fu Bin heard this, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel very fond of Li Zexuan in his heart.
Having said this, Li Zexuan took out a map from the bookshelf. He waved to Fu Bin. After the latter came over, he said:
"Fu Bin, as long as you can complete the task assigned to you, I will arrange for you to work in the factory in the future. If you do well, maybe the position of Uncle Fu in the workshop will be yours in the future, and you will naturally have a bright future. !”
Fu Bin looked happy and said quickly: "Thank you, Master, for the promotion! Master, if you have anything to do, just ask me. Even if I have to go through fire and water, I will definitely complete the tasks assigned by the Master!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "There is no need for you to go through fire and water. I have marked four locations on this map, corresponding to the four mineral deposits. They are not far from here. They are all within Hedong Road. You can take some people there. Go over there and look for mineral veins near the location I marked. If there is any obstruction from local officials, just show them my warrant!"
(In February of the first year of Zhenguan, Li Er divided the country into ten roads, namely Guannai Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Shannan Road, Longyou Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road, and Lingnan Road. It was abolished. Counties are prefectures, and each road governs several states. The four mineral veins marked by Li Zexuan on the map are all located in Shanxi Province, which is Hedong Road in the Tang Dynasty)
There are two magnetites and two pyrites in these four veins. The reserves of magnetite should be more than 30 million tons, which is enough for Li Zexuan's workshop to squander for decades, and it can also relieve Datang's The court was extremely short of iron.
Fu Bin took the map and suddenly turned into a bitter face, "Master, this map..."
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What? You can't read a map?"
Fu Bin looked sad and nodded.
Uncle Fu was furious and slapped Fu Bin on the back of the head again, "You are ignorant! I usually ask you to read more books, but you just don't listen! Now you have lost all your shame here! What a bastard!"
Li Zexuan smiled. As the saying goes, deep concern means deep responsibility. From this, it can be seen that Uncle Fu is very concerned about his nephew.
"Haha! Uncle Fu, my map is marked with a new marking method. It's normal that Xiao Bin can't understand it. You just need to teach him these two days! It doesn't matter, the matter of prospecting is not very complicated. in a hurry!"
Uncle Fu didn't know that Li Zexuan was deliberately giving him face. He said gratefully: "Thank you, Master! Don't worry, Master. Even if he doesn't eat or sleep these two days, he must learn to read the map! He will never delay the Master's work." matter!"
"Okay, it's not that serious! By the way, Uncle Fu, I have a few more drawings here, and I've marked the detailed size requirements on them. They are consistent with what I drew for you in the workshop last time. We use it together, you must have helped me make it recently!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand, then turned around and pulled out a few more drawings from the bookshelf, handed them to Fu Bo and said.
Uncle Fu took it, glanced at it briefly, and then said, "Master, this is no problem, don't worry!"
"Well! Then, Uncle Fu, go and get busy!"
Seeing that there was nothing more to explain, Li Zexuan served the guests tea.
This is not because he is unkind, but because he and Uncle Fu have been very busy recently.
"Then I'll say goodbye!"
Uncle Fu cupped his hands and left with Fu Bin.
Li Zexuan meditated in the study for a while, then went out to go to the academy. He had to check on the students' recent military training before teaching them Tai Chi. After all, he had promised Cheng Chumo a few days ago.
"Is it you? Senior came to the humble house again, why~?"
What Li Zexuan didn't expect was that as soon as he went out, he met the uninvited guest from two days ago - the bearded guest who was beaten with a bruised nose and face!
I don't know whether it was the Li Jing family's medicine that was too effective or the half-step master's recovery ability that was too strong. After just two days, the injury on the bearded guest's face was almost healed.
"What? Marquis Yong'an didn't invite me to come in and sit down? Are you still angry with me?"
The bearded man had a restrained aura and looked like an ordinary farm man. He didn't bring a knife today, so he walked towards Li Zexuan slowly with his hands free and said with a smile.
"How dare you! Senior, please come in!"
In the battle of Yunshan that day, Li Jing personally came forward to speak out. Li Zexuan still had to give him this face. Besides, in that battle, he made a breakthrough on the spot, which was a huge gain. If he had followed the normal progress, he himself would have He didn't know that it would take years of the monkey to break through, so although he was a little bit resentful now, he didn't hate the bearded guest as much as he did at the beginning!
"Haha! Marquis Yong'an, if this is a humble house, then there won't be any luxury houses in the world!"
Seeing that Li Zexuan's attitude toward him had improved slightly, the bearded man laughed.
