Chapter 230
Wang Ze looked at Lin Xuan with a gloomy face and said, "Master Hou really wants to break the face with my Wang family?"
Lin Xuan didn't flinch, and said, "Is it shameless not to cooperate with the Wang family?"
To be honest, he is still in awe of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, and he doesn't want to offend too much.
Many people think that Lin Xuan has martial arts, so why be afraid of this and that.
Some people even say that ancient force is the most important, and with Zhao Yun's bravery, direct assassination is enough.
If assassination could solve the problem, why didn't Li Shimin use it?
As Li Shimin's emperor through the ages, there will be no one under his command who is proficient in assassination, so why not just assassinate all the principals with five surnames and seven Wangs?
You must know that regardless of the official history or the romance, except for the good death and those who died on the battlefield, those with high martial arts skills will eventually die in the hands of people who do not know martial arts.
Wang Ze stared at Lin Xuan, and said, "In this case, it's the old man who is nagging, so leave!"
"Wait!" When Wang Ze turned around, Lin Xuan said, "Master Wang, please take the gift back."
"Hmph!" Wang Ze snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Wang Qingyun glared at Lin Xuan viciously, picked up the brocade box on the table, and quickly followed.
Lin Xuan watched the Wang family's father and son leave and shook his head.
If you offend the Wang family like this, you should be more careful in the future.
However, as long as he doesn't leave Chang'an, the Wang family shouldn't be in a hurry.
Although papermaking is the biggest income of the Wang family, even if the paper business is lost, it will not hurt the Wang family.
The royal family of Taiyuan has been passed down for hundreds of years. In addition to owning a large number of fields, of course there is also a lot of business.
But what Wang Ze said was right. If Lin Xuan wanted to sell the paper to all parts of the country, he really needed to find someone to cooperate.
Of course the Wang family can't do it. The best choice at the moment is the Cui family, but the Cui family was rejected by him last time, and there has been no news from the Cui family.
Wang Qingyun got into the carriage, saw Wang Ze's expression was unhappy, and asked, "Father, why don't we just forget about it?"
Wang Ze said coldly, "How is that possible? Since he refuses to eat the toast, let's just wait and see."
He wasn't that eager before, Lin Xuan's paper was so cheap, he took it for granted that he would lose money, so he didn't take Lin Xuan to heart.
But it's different now. If Lin Xuan continues to do this, Wang's Paper Mill will close sooner or later.
After Wang's father and son left, Lin Xuan was just about to continue working on the housewarming, but Xu Guangfu came again.
Lin Xuan patted his head. He managed to ask Li Shimin for a few days' leave on the pretext of moving, and everything came together.
But Xu Guangfu still wanted to see him, so Lin Xuan ordered his servants to bring him in.
"See you, Lord Hou!" Xu Guangfu bowed his hands.
Lin Xuan said kindly, "Sit down and talk."
Although Xu Guangfu took refuge in him, he didn't sell himself as a slave. Lin Xuan still wanted to give him the face he deserved.
Xu Guangfu thanked him, and after sitting down, he said: "Master Hou said that the house has been repaired, and there is still something to explain. The younger one is here to receive an errand."
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Didn't I ask you to rest for a while!"
Xu Guangfu said gratefully: "Master Hou is tolerant, the little one has rested for many days, and should do things for Master Hou."
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "I really have something for you to handle. You know the use of cement. Let's repair the road from the new house to Chang'an with cement mixed with gravel."
Xu Guangfu was a little puzzled, Lin Xuan said before that there was a major matter for him to handle, why now he just asked him to build a road.
"Yes!" Although he was puzzled, he did not dare to neglect Lin Xuan's instructions.
Lin Xuan saw that Xu Guangfu was a little confused, and said with a smile: "This is just a small matter, and there are two other things for you."
Xu Guangfu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if you have something to do, just order it."
Although he worked hard for Lin Xuan, he was rewarded a lot.
Building a house, up and down, is worth his previous years' income.
He planned to work for a while, sell his original house, and buy a yard in Chang'an with some money.
It is also convenient for his son to talk about marriage after waiting for a few years.
Xu Guangfu is full of energy now.
Lin Xuan asked Chunyue to bring over the drawings of the hospital and the stadium that he had drawn before, as well as the drawings of the academy that he had drawn during this period.
"Look at it first." Lin Xuan handed the drawing to Xu Guangfu, picked up the teacup and drank tea.
Xu Guangfu took the drawings and flipped through them.
Although he is not engaged in construction, he is no stranger to blueprints after supervising the construction of houses.
Any one of these three projects is better than building a house.
After reading it, Xu Guangfu asked, "Master Hou, which of these three will be built first?"
Of course, the three projects can be built together, but in this way, there will be insufficient manpower.
It is easy to find people who do rough work, but it is a bit difficult for the main craftsmen.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Let's build the school first, and we'll talk about the other two after the school is completed. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime."
The hospital and the stadium are not in a hurry. He explained it for so long, but the housekeeper hasn't found all the Cuju people yet.
There are quite a lot of people in the Chang'an Cuju Club, but Lin Xuan needs good skills, and several princes are also looking for them, so they haven't got enough candidates yet.
However, rumors have spread that a wealthy family in Chang'an is looking for a good Cuju player, and they should be able to find them in a short time.
But even if all the people are found, it will take a while to train.
In comparison, if we build a school now, we can start accepting students in the second half of the year.
"Yes!" Xu Guangfu replied.
……
Xue Rengui was named Deputy Lieutenant Zhenwei, so he didn't need to stay in the barracks every day.
But Li Shimin added more than 1000 people in, and Lin Xuan was another shopkeeper.
He, the de facto person in charge, will settle the newcomers well and let them get familiar with the new training method.
I have been busy for several days and finally have time to go home today.
On the day Xue Rengui was appointed as an official, Lin Xuan sent someone to Xue's house to report.
Even so, when Xue Rengui was wearing armor, he came back majestically.The mother and daughter were still very excited.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Xue said excitedly: "Okay, my son has finally lived up to your father's hope, and has honored the lintel!"
Xue Rengui knelt on the ground, held Mrs. Xue's hand, and said: "The child is not filial. He failed to serve his mother and made her suffer."
Mrs. Xue said solemnly: "What did my son say? A good man has ambitions all over the world. He has your sister to take care of his mother and the Lin family to help him. How can he be troubled. You can be promising. After my mother dies, I will see you Only then did the father have an explanation."
Xue Rengui said quickly: "Mother will definitely live a long life."
"Mother, let brother go in for dinner first." Xue Xiaoxiao interrupted the scene of mother's kindness and son's filial piety.
Mrs. Xue said: "Yes, yes, my son, get up quickly, the food is ready, let's eat first."
The family entered the main room, and a table of meals was already prepared on the table.
After eating happily, the servants took down the tableware. Mrs. Xue said: "My son, you have today, thanks to the support of Lord Hou. Not only that, but when you are in the military camp, Lord Hou will send people to deliver things every now and then. Lin The old lady also often comes over to be with my mother. You must never forget the kindness that Lord Hou has shown to our family!"
Zhang Qing often came to her to play mahjong, saying that he was bored and took her for company.
In order to take care of her, she often lost to her, how could she not know.
"Mother, the child knows." Xue Rengui nodded solemnly.
He is also very grateful to Lin Xuan, although he is confident that with his ability, he will be able to stand out one day.
But a small soldier and a sixth-rank military officer have different starting points.
If there is no Lin Xuan, this sixth-rank official position may require him to hang around for several years if there is no chance.
Mrs. Xue is also a capable person. Her husband died young, and she raised her children to adulthood by herself.
Never complaining about others, those who look down on their orphans and widows, and those who laugh at them, she has always taught Xue Rengui not to hold grudges.
But for those who helped them, Xue Rengui must never forget.
Mrs. Xue nodded and said, "It's good that you know, what do you think about giving Xiaoxiao to Lord Hou?"
Xue Xiaoxiao lowered her head shyly when she heard the words.
Xue Rengui was stunned, and said: "Mother, this is not acceptable. I heard that Lord Hou has been made a princess by His Majesty, but he has not yet married."
After Mrs. Xue came to Chang'an, she didn't go out much.
And Zhang Qing couldn't talk about his son marrying the princess.
Therefore, Mrs. Xue didn't know at this time, but now she heard Xue Rengui say this, and said: "If this is the case, then I should pretend that my mother never said this."
She didn't want Xue Xiaoxiao to be Lin Xuan's main house, and she knew her family's conditions.
Her original intention was to let Xue Xiaoxiao be a concubine, but since Lin Xuan has already married the princess, she must not be able to take concubines.
