Chapter 30 I Heard You Are Crazy

Chapter 38 I Heard You Are Crazy

"Fang Sihu, do you know what this is?" Li Chengqian said excitedly.

Fang Xiong took a closer look, "Back to Mr. Li, this is just an ordinary stone, it's just a little tanned."

"..." Li Chengqian rolled his eyes at him. There was a gap in IQ between people. It was obvious that Fang Xiong was the type of person who had not yet evolved successfully.

"Fang Sihu, how much land has been reclaimed around here?"

Fang Xiong took out the brochure and looked at it, then said: "Grandpa Li, there are sixteen acres in total."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Okay then, go and call the owners of the sixteen acres and tell them that I bought out the field for one tael of silver per acre!"

"One tael?" Fang Xiong was surprised, "Mr. Li, whether this land can grow food is still a question. You can buy it with one tael of silver. This is not cost-effective."

"It's okay, just say it. They have worked hard for a long time. If my father-in-law gives too little, it will chill the hearts of the people."

"Can…"

Fang Xiong was a little distressed, it was all white money, his monthly salary was only a few tens of cash, and one tael of silver was a thousand cash, which was a lot of money.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, "Hurry up and do it, this place is of great use to my father-in-law."

"Yes."

Fang Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Li, please wait a moment."

Then, when he saw that Li Chengqian was still chatting with a few people, he quickly walked aside, called a guard, and whispered: "Go back quickly and call Yang Biejia over, and say that Mr. Li is crazy."

"Here!"

The guard took the order and left on a fast horse.

Then Fang Xiong returned to Li Chengqian, took out the brochure and began to look through it.

Li Chengqian was chatting with the common people, seeing that Fang Xiong was still not well, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Fang Sihu, are you still not well?"

"Mr. Li, although the land is only [-] mu, these people come from different villages, so the lower officials must make a good count."

Fang Xiong smiled, but his hands didn't stop.

Seeing how hard he worked, Li Chengqian stopped disturbing him and continued chatting with the people.

"Mr. Li, you are from Chang'an. I heard that there are many interesting things in Chang'an. Can you tell me what they have?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child asked curiously.

Li Chengqian was demoted from the abolition of the prince. Except for officials, ordinary people

"Chang'an..."

Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed, he was imprisoned as soon as he crossed, and then came to Qianzhou.

So he is not too clear about what Chang'an has.

"Chang'an is very big... how big is it..."

Li Chengqian stretched out his hands and drew a big circle in mid-air, "It's about this big..."

The description is very beautiful, but...

"Wow~"

Several teenagers opened their mouths in shock.

"In Chang'an, there are still many people, the kind that can't be counted."

"Wow~"

"In addition, the place where the emperor lives is also very large and can accommodate tens of thousands of people."

"Wow~"

It has to be said that children are still very pure, no matter how outrageous what Li Chengqian said, they all echoed in unison, quite flattering.

In the end, Li Chengqian really couldn't answer their questions and immediately changed the topic, "Well, let me tell you a story. This story is called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Do you know what a romance is?"

"I don't know..." Several children shook their heads.

"It's just that this story is purely fictitious. If there are any similarities, why not?"

"The story begins with the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan. It is said that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were sworn brothers in a Taoyuan. The three of us are considered brothers..."

"Grandpa Li, Guan Yu seems to be Guan Gong, right?"

Fang Xiong next to him smacked his lips, always feeling that something was wrong.

He is also a scholar, so he has naturally read Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms".

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms... there seems to be no Taoyuan Three Brothers, right?
But seeing what Li Chengqian said was quite interesting, he didn't expose it.

Just listening to it, Fang Xiong felt that something was wrong.

Guan Yu worships Guan Gong... something seems wrong.

"Guan Yu is Guan Gong. You don't know this kind of common sense. Are you still a scholar?" Li Chengqian curled his lips.

"..." Fang Xiong swallowed, "Then Guan Yu...how could he worship me?"

"Don't make trouble!"

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes at him sweetly and angrily, "If we don't worship Guan Gong, what is the name of sworn sworn relationship?"

"But…"

"Shut up, you don't want to hear it, but others still want to hear it."

Li Chengqian glared at him before continuing to tell the story, "After worshiping Guan Gong, the three of them became brothers of the opposite sex..."

At this moment, Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly glanced at the path ahead, where several people were riding over.

The first person is Yang Chen, the governor's mansion.

"Everyone, this is the end of the story. We will tell it again when we have the opportunity." Li Chengqian stood up as he spoke.

"No, Mr. Li, why don't you continue talking..."

Where did the children hear the story, one or two immediately begged Li Chengqian to continue telling it.

"Is that so..."

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "In the end, Liu Bei founded the Shu Han, Cao Pi, Cao Cao's son, founded the Wei State, and Sun Quan founded the Wu State. The three kingdoms stood in triplicate, which is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

"Okay, that's the end of the story, get out of class is over!"

A child grabbed Li Chengqian and said pitifully, "Then...what about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei you mentioned at the beginning?"

"It's not just them. In the end, Liu Bei and the others all died, so this story tells us that we must cherish the beautiful life in front of us. Goodbye."

Li Chengqian walked towards Yang Chen after speaking.

"... "

Several children looked at each other, and they could see a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.

After Yang Chen dismounted, he hurriedly ran to Li Chengqian, "Mr. Li, my official heard, are you crazy?"

"Ah?" Li Chengqian looked at him blankly, "Why am I crazy?"

"Ahem..." Fang Xiong ran over and took over the topic, "Yang Biejia, it's like this. Mr. Li said he would buy these sixteen acres of land for one tael per acre."

Yang Chen's eyes widened instantly, "Grandpa Li, are you crazy?"

"... "

Fang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of relief on his face.

Fortunately, there are normal people like him.

"Why do you react like this?"

Li Chengqian looked at them and sighed, "You all come with me."

As Li Chengqian said, he led the two of them to the bottom of the mountain, "Did you see those black stones?"

"Ok?"

Yang Chen was a little puzzled, picked up a piece of coal from the ground, squeezed it with his hands, and suddenly said: "Grandpa Li, isn't this coal?"

Graphite is coal, which can be used to grind ink, and the juice obtained from grinding is graphite.

This method has already begun in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

But now, after more than 1000 years of reform, inferior ink such as charcoal has long been no longer used.

The reason why Yang Chen knew was that he had read "Qi Min Yao Shu" written by Jia Sixie before, which recorded the method of making graphite with charcoal.

"That's right, charcoal is a good thing!" Li Chengqian said with emotion.

Yang Chen was puzzled, "Mr. Li, although charcoal can be used to grind graphite, it is of very poor quality. No one in the Tang Dynasty has used this graphite for a long time. Even if you sell it, how much money can you make?"

Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder, with a mysterious expression on his face, "It's because everyone is as witty as you, that's why I can make a fortune quietly..."
