There is a gall vitriol mine in Lantian County. According to Wang Ji's survey, the reserves of this gall vitriol mine are not small at all. However, the output of copper smelting using wet smelting is a problem. It is basically impossible to smelt a large amount of copper in a short period of time. !
So after hearing Lin Wenyuan talk about using bicycles to exchange a large amount of copper from Japanese merchants, Li Zexuan decided to temporarily use the brass in the hands of Japanese merchants to solve the current shortage of copper in the workshop.
"Boss Lin, please inform the members of the Chamber of Commerce and ask them to get rid of all the bicycles in their hands as soon as possible. In addition, I will allocate fifty bicycles to you from the workshop. You can exchange them with Japanese merchants as soon as possible. You can exchange as much brass as you can!"
The carriage was walking on the cement road to Lantian County, and Li Zexuan in the carriage suddenly said.
Lin Wenyuan heard the urgency in Li Zexuan's words and couldn't help but wonder: "Master Hou, why are you in such a hurry to sell all the bicycles? And if you take out so many bicycles at once, those Japanese businessmen may take the opportunity to lower the price. !”
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter if the price is lowered, as long as it is within an affordable range. This range is probably no less than 80% of the current market price! And there is one thing you probably don't know yet, that is, the workshop will launch it soon The second-generation bicycle, the electric bicycle I told you before was adapted from this second-generation bicycle!
Compared with the previous bicycle, this second-generation bicycle adopts the latest technology of Qiquge Workshop, which is not only more labor-saving but also safer when riding! It can be said that anyone who has ridden a second-generation bicycle will never be willing to ride a first-generation bicycle again!
Over at the workshop, the second-generation bicycles will be mass-produced soon. By then, the demand for our first-generation bicycles will definitely become smaller and smaller. If you don’t get rid of all the bicycles in your hands now, you may want to sell them in the future. I can only sell it at a reduced price! "
Having been in business for decades, Lin Wenyuan obviously understands the twists and turns involved. Hearing this, he was very grateful and said: "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for reminding me! Lin will convey Mr. Hou's instructions to the others before dark today." !”
"Yes! When the time comes, I will also give you a batch of second-generation bicycles, specially used for trade with the Japanese people. Lantian County needs copper very much!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said with some emotion.
Li Zexuan himself doesn’t know how much copper is needed to build a county-level power grid and connect the entire Lantian County with electricity. Anyway, it is an astronomical number. He can only use various methods to obtain as much copper as possible. copper.
"Lin understands!"
Lin Wenyuan accepted the offer. Suddenly, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Hou, since the establishment of the Commerce Department, Lantian County has completely become a paradise for businessmen. Here, we and other businessmen can get equal treatment. Lin recently had an affair with the humble businessman." I have been discussing internally that I would like to move the Cao family to Lantian County with me, but I wonder if the Marquis can grant permission?"
In fact, the reason why Lin Wenyuan wanted to move to Lantian County was not only because the Commerce Department had improved his status as a businessman, but also because of the future of his son. Although Lin Hao had a teacher, after more than half a year of studying hard in seclusion, There is a high hope of passing the Yanhuang Academy this year, but what if I fail? When that time comes, Lin Wenyuan plans to send Lin Hao to the county school in Lantian County.
Furthermore, I heard that Li Zexuan needs brass so much today. It is obvious that he plans to make the entire Lantian County have electricity. In that case, Lantian County will become an even more "dazzling" existence than Chang'an City. By then, it is estimated that many foreigners will have access to electricity. County residents want to move to Lantian County.
"Oh? Boss Lin also wants to move to Lantian County? That's great. You can just move directly. The conditions for relocation in Lantian County are still very good now~!"
Li Zexuan was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Thank you, Mr. Hou~!"
Lin Wenyuan cupped his hands and said.
With Li Zexuan's words, it will be much smoother for him to go to the county government to handle the relocation procedures later!
.............................
"What? Xuan'er, are you going to join the Xuanjia Army as a clerk?"
Back at the Hou Mansion in Lantian County, Li Zexuan told the two elders in detail what had happened that morning. After hearing this, Mrs. Li was almost frightened to death.
After all, she and Li Jingmo only have a son. In the early years, Li Zexuan went to the mountains with Master Lingxu to recuperate his body due to physical weakness. But now that Li Zexuan is in good health and has made great achievements, he has to go to the army to join the army. This makes Li Zexuan How can Madam accept it?
Li Jingmo's face also froze. Although he was not as panicked as Mrs. Li, his eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life could not help but reveal a strong look of worry.
"Well, mother, don't worry. This person who joins the army is in charge of all Cao Cao's books, raises good and evil, and makes suggestions for the general. He will not lead troops to charge into battle, so there is usually no danger! Today in the Tang Dynasty There is a tense situation with the Turks, and a war is likely to break out. The child has learned some skills from the master. If he does not use them at this time, then one day when the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Tang Dynasty are trampled by foreigners, not only will the child regret it for the rest of his life, but the master and his elders may also It will also be difficult to rest in peace!”
Li Zexuan patted his mother's hand and patiently persuaded her.
Mrs. Li was about to say something, but Ye Guozhong said at this time:
"Xiao Xuan is right! Back then, Master Lingxu was so heroic. With the power of one man, he fought hundreds of Turkic wolf cavalry alone, which completely frightened the foreigners. As a close disciple of Master Lingxu, Xiaoxuan is a general in this country. Lin, you can't just be a coward and do nothing! Moreover, your Majesty has transferred Xiaoxuan to the Xuanjia Army, the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. This shows that your Majesty has high hopes for Xiaoxuan. How can this holy grace be achieved? Can you refuse easily?"
Mrs. Li is not an ignorant person, and she understands the basic principles, but when it comes to her son, she prefers to be confused. At this time, her eyes turned red and she said:
"Dad, Yuzhu has no control over whether it is a holy favor or not. Xuan'er is my child. I would rather that he never achieve anything in his life, and I don't want him to put himself in danger!"
After saying that, she nervously squeezed Li Zexuan's hand and said: "Xuan'er, you are the only son of our family. According to the laws of the country, you don't have to join the army. Now go and tell His Majesty whether you can accept this job or not." good?"
Maternal love is great, but sometimes maternal love is selfish. Looking at Mrs. Li who looked nervous and concerned in front of him, Li Zexuan felt uncomfortable. Human beings are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless? After more than a year of getting along with each other, He had already regarded the woman in front of him as his biological mother in this life.
After a moment of pause, he adjusted his mood and said:
"Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good! But I have a reason why I must go to the Xuanjia Army. Currently, my workshop has created a kind of armor equipment that is particularly suitable for the Xuanjia Army, which can greatly enhance their combat power. , I have to help them adapt to this new equipment and adapt to new tactics, but don't worry, I'm just joining the army, not a general, so I don't need to lead troops to charge, and there will be no danger!
In fact, the child does not seek any great wealth in this life. He only hopes to protect his family and make the people around him safe and happy for the rest of his life. That is enough! Now that the enemy is facing us, if the children are timid, if the Tang Dynasty loses to the Turks and the country is shattered, thousands of families in the Central Plains will be massacred by the aliens, and no one will be spared! Mom, do you really want to see that? "
After hearing the horrific scene described by Li Zexuan, Mrs. Li couldn't help being frightened. She shook her head quickly and said: "Mother...Of course mother doesn't want to see such a scene, but Xuan'er, there are countless famous generals in the court, even if you don't If you go, it shouldn’t affect the overall situation, right?”
Li Zexuan replied: "Mom! If a war breaks out between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, the number of winners and losers will be between 50 and 50. At this time, if you can increase the chance of winning a little, you may rewrite the outcome of the entire war!"
Ye Guozhong stroked his beard and nodded: "Xiaoxuan is right, Yuzhu, there is nothing trivial in front of the country. It is rare that Xiaoxuan has a talent, and your majesty is willing to give him the opportunity to serve the country. As his mother, you should understand." yes!"
Li Jingmo knew that this matter was almost a foregone conclusion, so he sighed deeply, looked at his wife, and comforted him: "Madam, my father-in-law is right. When Xuan'er grows up, what path does he want to take? That is his own decision. As parents, we can only silently support him behind the scenes and just hope not to cause him any trouble!"
Seeing that her husband and father were persuading her, Mrs. Li also knew that there was no room for change. She wiped away her tears, looked at Li Zexuan and said: "Xuan'er, then you have to agree to be your mother. At any time, you must not act like this." It’s a personal risk!”
"Well! Mom, don't worry!"
Li Zexuan naturally nodded in agreement.
After such a fuss, Mrs. Li suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted. She shook her head and went back to her room to rest.
Li Jingmo looked at Li Zexuan with complicated eyes. In the end, a thousand words turned into a sigh: "Xuan'er, you have grown up. No matter when or where you make a decision in the future, as a father, I hope you will do well." Think about your mother, think about your wife, think about this family!"
After that, without waiting for Li Zexuan's response, Li Jingmo left with his hands behind his hands in a complicated mood.
Han Yuxi, who had been standing aside without saying a word, still wrung his hands without saying a word and left silently. Li Zexuan felt a little guilty in his heart, but when he made this decision before, he had already expected that his family would object. It was hard for him to say anything at this time.
.............................
The next day.
The second version of the admissions announcement of Yanhuang Academy of Medicine was officially published by Datang Daily. After reading the content of the new admissions announcement, the public was completely excited!
"Yanhuang Academy Medical College recruits students regardless of gender?"
"What? Does it mean that Yanhuang Academy is recruiting female students? How... is this inappropriate?"
"No! Didn't you see that it says that the medical school can recruit female students? Yanhuang Academy is now divided into two major colleges, the medical school and the engineering college. It is said that the two colleges should be separated by high walls and completely independent. , the medical school is almost the same as the Imperial Medical Office!"
"Eh~? That's good! The female students recruited by the Imperial Medical Office will be sent to the palace to be female medical officers. The female students trained by the Yanhuang Academy Medical College may be sent to the Datang United Medical Center opened by the Marquis. Then we will There will also be more female doctors among the people, so my wife and daughter won’t have to look for female doctors everywhere to see a doctor~!”
"Yes, yes! This is very possible! I heard that there are already female doctors in Datang United Medical Center in Lantian County, and there may be more in the future!"
"Master Hou really thinks about us and other common people in every aspect!"
"Hmph! Marquis Yong'an, this is offensive! You are still praising him here?"
"You kid, don't slander Marquis Yong'an! Believe it or not, I'll beat you up! I'm going to impeach Marquis Yong'an in front of the palace to the Holy One!"
"Yes! Beat him~!"
Most people in the public support the recruitment of female students in Yanhuang Academy Medical College. After all, there is a precedent set by the Imperial Medical Office, and Li Zexuan is seeking benefits for the common people, so how can they not support it?
However, some scholars among the people privately criticized Li Ze for being immoral after hearing the news. However, it is not clear whether they were really angry or whether they were angry because of jealousy.
Anyway, Yanhuang Academy is full of joy now!
"Haha! Yanfu, have you heard? The medical school is recruiting female students?"
"What? Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true! Look! It's all written in today's "Datang Daily"! It's said that even the Holy One agreed!"
"This...is this too crazy?"
"Hey! What a pity! It's a pity that a high wall will be built between the School of Medicine and the School of Engineering in the future. Students on both sides cannot walk between each other. Even if we want to see the new female students, it may not be easy!"
"Ahem! Yuan Shuo, your thoughts are too dirty! If you really want to see those female students, why don't you just transfer to medical school?"
"You think I don't want to? I just want to pass the exam to get into medical school. I don't have medical skills, how can I get in?"
When Chu Yanfu heard this, he almost vomited blood.
Similar conversations happened in every corner of Yanhuang Academy. It's no wonder the students were so excited. In fact, on weekdays, Yunshan was basically full of men, just like a monk temple.
As the saying goes, "A fair lady is like a gentleman." They were still in adolescence. How could they not be excited when they suddenly heard that the academy was recruiting girls?
"Eh? Baolin, Zifan, I have a good idea!"
In a classroom, during break time, Cheng Chumo suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Chu Mo, what can you do? Say it quickly! Say it quickly!"
Sun Zifan's eyes lit up and he immediately said excitedly.
Cheng Chumo laughed evilly and whispered: "Telescope! We can go to the atrium on the fourth floor and use the telescope to see the scenery over the medical school~!"
"Pa~!"
As soon as Cheng Chumo finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind coming from the back of his head, and a slap hit him firmly on the back of the head, followed by an angry voice: "You kid has used all your cleverness in crooked ways. Come on, if Uncle Cheng knew, wouldn't he have to break your legs?"
