Chapter 419: Happy and Forgetful
The next day, after Lu Songli finished his work, he glanced at the sky and ordered, "I'm going to the Seventh Institute of Technology. Bring me twenty vests. Make them out of rabbit hair, wool, silk, and cotton."
Yes, the house where Master Zhan and his disciples lived has been renamed Qigongyuan.
Now those people in the Seventh Institute of Technology are her treasures, but she only thinks about this title in her heart and cannot let anyone know.
After giving the order, Lu Songli thought about it and decided to just distribute their dividends for this year.
At this time, Ji Wuyin was holding a banquet at home to entertain scholars from the south, and Xue Xu was accompanying him.
Most of the dishes at the banquet were southern specialties, and Ning Changge and the others enjoyed the meal very much.
When they arrived in Liaodong County, they didn't have much trouble adapting to the situation.
Their homes have kangs, so they don't have to worry about the cold at all.
The same goes for food. After seeing so many people from the south setting up stalls in Houcheng, many people also tried to make some local specialties from their hometown and sell them, which made things more convenient for them.
In addition, the government is quite caring towards them and will help these southern scholars solve some urgent and difficult problems.
What attracted them most in Liaodong County was the Liaodong Academy, especially the Wordless Building, which was extremely attractive to these scholars.
When they first arrived at Wu Zi Building, there were actually not many books inside, only about two hundred, but there were many rare and unique books that they had not read.
They had already toured Liaodong County and experienced the local customs and culture. They were very satisfied with the trip and felt that they had broadened their horizons and gained more knowledge.
They had originally planned to return home after reading the only copy in Wu Zi Lou.
However, they found that they could never finish watching it all!
Because there are only two hundred books in the Wu Zi Building, but it is updated quickly, with new books added from time to time.
Ning Changge and the others didn't know that Wu Ren and others had been working hard to collect all kinds of different books and rare copies, and then send them back to Liaodong County.
Therefore, they did not expect that they would stay in Liaodong County for so long!
Ji Wuyin hosted a banquet for these scholars, firstly to show some humanistic care and see if they needed any help; secondly, he also wanted to ask them if they had any plans to go back, after all, it was almost the end of the year.
If they were planning to go back, they would have to make good arrangements. But Ji Wuyin still didn't recommend that they return at this time, as it was too dangerous to travel in winter.
Finally, Ji Wuyin also promised that if they needed help, he would be willing to help them send a letter home to report their safety.
The people in the garment workshop, following Lu Songli's instructions, delivered the batch of top-quality goods that Lu Songli had designated for Ji Wuyin almost immediately after the banquet.
After Ji Wuyin looked at the goods, he knew that they would be a big hit after being shipped to the south. He nodded with satisfaction in his heart, thinking that half of his silk stock that was forcibly seized was not wasted!
"Where is Mrs. Qin Liu?" Xue Xu asked casually. He thought the other party would go to the garment workshop to take a look.
"Mrs. Qin Liu has gone to the Seventh Institute of Technology again."
Ji Wuyin casually said, "She went over there to make a wish again?"
In Ji Wuyin's opinion, if Lu Songli wants something new, she just needs to go there and it will be made after a while. Isn't it just making a wish?
"Don't say that. Maybe she's going there to 'pay tribute'?" Xue Xu knew that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was preparing to distribute their dividends.
Seventh Institute of Technology
Mr. Zhan and others gradually received letters from home sent back by members of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.
When Lu Songli brought his people to the Seventh Institute of Technology, Zhou Congguang and others had just gathered together after lunch and were holding letters from home and grinning foolishly.
After Lu Songli arrived, the sound of moving boxes and cages was quite loud.
This caught the attention of Master Zhan and the others, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
Lu Mingzhi listened carefully and said, "I think I heard my second sister's voice."
"The second sister of the Lu family is here?"
Zhou Congguang and others were shocked and thought she was here to urge progress.
After arriving in Liaodong County, they were truly filled with both joy and sorrow. They could completely ignore the trivialities of life and tinker with whatever they wanted without any worries. However, once they had a result, if the Second Sister of the Lu Family was interested, she would definitely ask them to continue tinkering, and sometimes she would even push them quite hard.
"Master, I'm going back to my yard first. I suddenly had an idea."
"I also remembered that I had some unfinished business."
"I also……"
One by one, they were ready to slip away, while at the same time they were muttering in their hearts, "Second sister of the Lu family, stop rushing me, stop rushing me, I'm already doing it."
Liaoxi County
Qin Yan and Qin Zhao led their soldiers to capture a bandit's lair.
At this moment they were all gathered around the fire to warm themselves. They had all crossed a river in order to capture the bandits' lair, and now many soldiers were so cold that their teeth were chattering.
Qin Zhao was instructing the cook, "Is the ginger soup ready?"
“It’s almost there!”
"Send it out right away when it's done!"
"Okay, I'll come."
At this time, Qin Yan came over and said, "Sixth brother's wife sent us a batch of winter clothes."
"Really? That's great! Where is it? Distribute it to the soldiers quickly." They had just crossed the river, and they didn't want to get frozen to death.
"Um."
Ding ding ding——
"Winter clothes are being distributed!"
Soldiers were issued black woolen vests; instructors, centurions, and captains were issued blue silk-cotton vests; higher-ranking generals received rabbit fur or wool vests.
There was sufficient manpower, and winter clothes for three to four thousand people were distributed quickly.
After receiving the vests, the soldiers put them on directly and smiled happily, "Warm!"
"Although this dress looks light, I feel warm all over after putting it on."
"The key is that it is very convenient and does not hinder our work."
At this time, Qin Yan and Qin Zhao each took a woolen vest and put it on.
Qin Yan said, "I received news that Big Brother and Xiaoliu have returned victoriously."
Qin Zhao was surprised, "What? Big brother and Xiaoliu are back in Houcheng? How come it's so fast?" They had already eliminated two mountain strongholds in succession, and he thought they were quite fast.
Qin Yan told the situation over there.
Qin Zhao: ...Who is so talented that he can gather all the leaders of the strongholds together and let Big Brother and Xiaoliu take them down in one fell swoop?
"They don't care about Lelang County anymore?"
Qin Yan explained that some of the bandits in Lelang County had moved to the Three Han Kingdoms. After the bandits in Xuantu County were wiped out, the remaining ones moved away overnight.
Qin Zhao slapped his forehead and thought, yes, he was stupid.
"Then we have to speed up!"
"Yeah." Qin Yan glanced at the soldiers who were drinking ginger soup and thought to himself that this batch of winter clothes arrived in time, otherwise someone would definitely fall down tonight.
