"Qingque is very interested in the knowledge of electricity and car building, but this knowledge cannot be fully grasped by reading books alone. Only by practicing it in person can one be deeply impressed. It is a good thing that he is willing to come to the workshop to practice! Miss Mo You are getting married to Shaoning at the end of the month, so you can take advantage of these few days to teach Qingque. With his qualifications, he should be able to understand the principles of generators, motors, and batteries very quickly~!"
In the laboratory of Qiquge New Workshop, Li Zexuan explained to Mo Lingwei.
"...Well! Don't worry, Commander, I will teach King Wei well!"
Mo Lingwei hesitated for a moment and responded.
Li Zexuan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he could see the scruples in Mo Lingwei's heart. He smiled and said: "In the academy, there are only teachers and students, not King Wei, so Miss Mo, don't feel pressured. In general, Qingque This kid is still very easy to get along with now, if you don’t believe me, just ask Shaoning~!”
Yan Shaoning on the side nodded quickly and said: "Well! Don't worry, Wei'er, Qingque and I are still very familiar with each other. If something happens, just let me handle it~!"
Mo Lingwei was a little relieved this time. Besides, she was not a shy person in the first place. After hearing what Li Zexuan said to Yan Shaoning, she smiled sweetly and said, "Hey! That's okay! If King Wei doesn't listen to his teachings, don't blame me. It’s time to be a teacher’s palm~!”
There was even a hint of excitement in her words. She must be excited that she could hit the palm of a prince, right?
Li Zexuan and Yan Shaoning couldn't help but look at each other, speechless for a while.
They almost forgot that although the girl in front of them was beautiful and lovely, there was a devil living in her heart. Now that things had come to this, they could only pray silently in their hearts for that fat little Li Tai~!

"What? Marquis Yong'an wants to join the Xuanjia Army? How can this be possible? He is a little kid who has never even seen human blood, so why should he come to the Xuanjia Army? If he wants to gain military merit, he can just go to other camps in the capital, but I want to come to the Xuanjia Army, but I won’t agree~!”
In the afternoon, the angry roar of a middle-aged man came from the main hall of Duke Fan's Mansion in Chang'an City.
The owner of Duke Fan's Mansion is none other than Duan Zhixuan.
In the ninth year of Wude, Prince Li Jiancheng wanted to murder Li Er and bribed Duan Zhixuan with a large sum of money in an attempt to induce him to submit. Duan Zhixuan refused to accept it and informed Li Er of the matter. Later, he, Yuchi Jingde and others launched the Xuanwumen Incident to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Soon, Li Er ascended the throne. As the number one contributor to the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, Duan Zhixuan was promoted by Li Er to General Zuo Xiaowei and given the title of Duke Fan.
Since Duan Zhixuan participated in the formation of the Xuanjia Army at the beginning, and Li Er trusted Duan Zhixuan quite a lot, he was basically responsible for the management of the Xuanjia Army later on.
"Xing Gong, Marquis Yong'an did not come to the Xuanjia Army to gain military merit. He has already become a prince at a young age. What else does he need to do to gain military merit? This time he is here to help the Xuanjia Army adapt to the new type of armor! Besides, He is not a little kid who has never seen human blood. Last year, he killed more than fifty bandits in the Blood Wind Village by himself! His kung fu is absolutely unmatched by anyone in the younger generation! "
At this time, Duan Zhixuan's voice came from the main hall.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man from before hummed again: "Huh! Those are just little bandits gathering in the mountains and forests. Killing them is like chopping melons and vegetables. What's there to brag about?"
Duan Zhixuan said in a deep voice: "What about the battle at Snake Spirit Mountain? At the beginning, the Seventh Cultivator Sect had a late-stage master, a master at the peak of the master's stage, and thousands of disciples. But Li Zexuan made the entire Seventh Cultivator sect overnight. The cultivation sect was wiped out in ashes, and to put it bluntly, his strength is even greater than that of you and me!"
"You are trying to make other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. I don't believe how powerful he is as a teenage boy? Isn't it just that he has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child? Even if his realm is high, his realm is unstable! With Compared with us veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, he is very young~! In short, I will not agree to let a baby join the Xuanjia Army as a soldier!"
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan's voice also turned cold, "Xing Gong, this is not a question of whether you agree or not. This is the Holy Spirit's will. Do you still want to resist it? If you really have any objections, after you recover from your illness, Go directly to the palace and talk to His Majesty face to face~!"
"Hmph! Just say it! Today's glory of the Xuanjia Army was built with the blood and bones of countless soldiers. I will never allow a little kid to come here to point fingers! Farewell~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a crimson warrior uniform walked out of the main hall angrily. After leaving the Duke of Fan's Mansion, he walked away directly!
"...This old stubborn~!"
In the main hall, Duan Zhixuan sat at the front seat and murmured to himself.
It could be seen from his frown that the middle-aged man's attitude just now made him very embarrassed.
"Sir, Marquis Yong'an wants to see you!"
After an unknown amount of time, a man who looked like a butler walked up and spoke cautiously to Duan Zhixuan, who was deep in thought.
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan's spirit was shaken. He immediately came back from his meditation and said quickly: "Quick! Please please!"
No matter what others think, Duan Zhixuan admires Li Zexuan anyway, so he spoke for Li Zexuan like that just now.
"Yes! Master!"
The butler responded and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Duan Zhixuan waved his hand at this time and said: "Wait a minute! I should go out to greet you in person! When Marquis Yong'an comes, he is not allowed to inform you. Please go directly to the side hall. If I am not at the house, you must immediately send someone to the military camp to report. !”
"I understand!"
The housekeeper hurriedly responded, but was surprised at the importance his master paid to Li Zexuan, a new member of the court.
"Haha! The presence of the Marquis of Yong'an really makes the humble house shine! Don't blame the Marquis of Yong'an for being ignorant, don't blame the servants!"
Arriving in front of the mansion, Duan Zhixuan walked towards Li Zexuan with enthusiasm and said with a smile.
Li Zexuan returned the salute and said with a smile: "General Duan is joking. Xiaohou came uninvited. I hope General Duan won't take offense!"
Speaking of which, before this, he didn't know where Duan Zhixuan lived. He went to the academy to ask Cheng Chumo at noon.
This can't be blamed on him. The main reason is that he has not been around the court for many years. He only knows the names of many courtiers. As for where they live, he probably doesn't know!
The Duke of Fan's mansion is not big, let alone grand. It looks similar to Li Zexuan's former home in Yonglefang. However, this also shows that Duan Zhixuan is a low-key person and does not like to be extravagant!
At this time, Duan Zhixuan waved his hand and said: "Haha! What are you talking about, Marquis Yong'an? Soon you and I will be colleagues. Isn't it just an outsider to say this? Come on! Come in and talk! Butler, let someone serve tea quickly. !”
Under Duan Zhixuan's greeting, Li Zexuan came to the front hall of Duan's house, where Duan Zhixuan had a dispute with another middle-aged man.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the servants of the Duan Mansion brought a pot of hot tea, poured a cup each for Li Zexuan and Duan Zhixuan, and then left.
"Yo~! This is still fairy tea~!"
Li Zexuan was not interested in other people's tea at first, but after smelling the fragrance of tea in the air, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Haha! Duan asked someone to buy this from Lantian County before! Speaking of this, Duan has to say that Marquis Yong'an, you are so stingy. There are good things that are only sold in Lantian County. Chang'an City Either there is none here, or the supply is very small, but you are driving the dignitaries in Chang'an City crazy!"
Duan Zhixuan said half-jokingly.
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said: "What General Duan taught me is that I must pay attention to this in the future! But here today, I have something to ask of General Duan!"
Duan Zhixuan was shocked and said: "Marquis Yong'an, please speak!"
Li Zexuan replied: "The thing is like this, the Qiquge Workshop is now doing its best to build armor for the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, but if the new plate armor wants to be most effective, it must fit the soldiers, so I I want to send some tailors to the Xuanjia Army camp to measure the bodies of the soldiers, and I hope General Duan can provide convenience~!"
When Duan Zhixuan heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said: "So that's what happened. However, the Xuanjia Army camp is a forbidden area and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. In this way, Duan will give instructions to everyone later." Battalion General, how about measuring the height, weight and weight of all the soldiers, and then handing the results over to you~?"
Li Zexuan heard this without doubting that he was there, so he nodded and said: "Okay! I will write down the parts to be measured on the paper. General Duan, you will ask the soldiers to fill in their respective data when the time comes~!"
"Yeah! No problem!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded, and then asked someone to get a pen and paper. After a while, Li Zexuan picked up the pen, and a line of small words appeared on the paper.
Duan Zhixuan took a closer look and couldn't help but be surprised: "Height, weight, shoulder width, waist circumference, breast circumference, this...there are so many things that need to be measured?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "That's natural. This is also to ensure that the plate armor can better fit the soldiers' bodies. Otherwise, the plate armor will affect the soldiers' actions on the battlefield~!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded thoughtfully. After a moment, he frowned and asked: "Although this is true, wouldn't this affect the speed of the craftsmen in your workshop in making plate armor?"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "There will definitely be an impact, but it is not impossible to overcome it. General Duan can rest assured that the Qiquge Workshop has been operating at full capacity to produce plate armor. It is estimated that five thousand sets of plate armor can be produced within two months. , vanadium steel horseshoes, vanadium steel horseshoes and horseshoes!”
"Two months? So soon?"
When Duan Zhixuan heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Although Duan has never made armor, he has heard someone say that it would take at least three days for a skilled craftsman to make a set of Mingguang Armor! The structure of plate armor is more complex than that of Mingguang Armor, so your workshop was able to produce five thousand sets within two months, which is really amazing~!"
Li Zexuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when Duan Zhixuan lamented "so fast" instead of "so slow". Then, he half-jokingly said: "General Duan, as long as he is not too slow! In fact, this is Qiquge Workshop's At normal speed, we have the most advanced equipment, the highest technology, and the best craftsmen. Naturally, we will have the fastest speed and the highest quality. Otherwise, the products of Qiquge Workshop would not be popular throughout Datang. Got it~!”
Duan Zhixuan nodded in sympathy and said with emotion: "That's true! In just less than a year, Qiquge Workshop has grown from a small workshop to the largest workshop in the entire Tang Dynasty. It is the largest workshop in the imperial palace. I'm afraid the general supervisor can't compare with you. After all, it's thanks to your talent and learning, Marquis Yong'an! Otherwise, it would be impossible for anyone else to have the Qiquge Workshop on the scale it is today~ !”
"General Duan, thank you!"
Li Zexuan smiled, then stood up and said: "The purpose of coming here today has been achieved. It's getting late now. Xiao Hou will leave first! After the affairs in the academy and workshop are settled, I will go to Xuanjia Report to the military camp!"
Duan Zhixuan's face couldn't help but froze when he heard this, but he soon returned to normal. He smiled unnaturally and said: "Okay, okay! There is no need to be anxious about entering the camp. Your Majesty once said that you want the academy and the military camp." Duan understands both sides very well!"
Although Duan Zhixuan's expression changed quickly, it still did not escape Li Zexuan's eyes. Li Zexuan glanced at Duan Zhixuan calmly, then cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, General Duan, for your understanding! However, matters in the military are more important. After I handle the affairs at the academy, I will definitely return to the military camp as soon as possible! I also hope that General Duan can compile the statistics of the soldiers as soon as possible!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded and said: "Yes! Duan will arrange someone to do it as soon as possible."
Li Zexuan then said goodbye.
………………………………
"Your Highness, all the projects last month have been sorted out. The bank here has made a total profit of 35,800 Tangyuan. After excluding the costs, the net profit is 31,400 Tangyuan!"
Lantian County, Yanhuang Bank, back hall.
A middle-aged scribe held a thick account book and bowed to Li Ke.
I remember that at the beginning, Li Zexuan "started a small stove" for Li Ke, and after imparting some advanced financial knowledge to Li Ke, he then arranged for Li Ke to go to Yanhuang Bank here in Lantian County for experience.
After all, "what you see on paper is only shallow, but you know that you have to practice it." Only through practice can Li Ke understand what the real economic method is!
"Well! Here you go, Mr. Laosong!"
Li Ke nodded, then he stood up and came to the scribe named Song, stretched out his hand and said: "Show me the account books!"
"...Yes! Your Highness~!"
The scribe named Song shook inexplicably, but quickly returned to normal. After hesitating for a moment, he handed the account book to Li Ke.
Li Ke took the account book, turned back to the desk, and started reading it directly in front of the scribe named Song.
The accounts of Yanhuang Bank are all recorded using the double-entry accounting method invented by Li Zexuan, which looks very clear. In addition, Li Ke has an excellent talent for mathematics and is very sensitive to numbers. Therefore, he started to look through the account books. It’s totally one eye and ten lines!
"Huh? Mr. Song, why is there no record of the payment of 500 Tang Yuan on April 15th? Also, April 20, 300 Tang Yuan, April 28, 700 Tang Yuan, these Where did the money go?”
After a moment, Li Ke frowned and said with an ugly face.
