Chapter 189 The Poor Little Prince (1 update)

The little prince has been living a very comfortable life these days.

He has to attend the morning court every few days. If he wants to get up early to see his bosses in the court, he will get up early and take a walk around the court.

When he doesn't want to get up, he will sleep until noon. The main point is voluntary!

Lu Zexu has grown up now, and he already knows how to deal with the emperor's various requests.

If he is asked to attend the court, he will act like a weak and sickly person who is lazy every day.

If he is asked to take classes in the Shangshufang, he will take the basics of chemistry he has sorted out and ask these great scholars who are well-read in poetry books one by one.

Then he watched as the thick hair of some great scholars became thinner day by day;

some scholars, because they could not answer his questions, read the classics day and night, looking for answers, and became increasingly haggard.

Some great scholars who were inspired by his questions and were very interested in his questions were sent directly to the second prince by Lu Zexu. They were all beginners, studying together, learning together, and making progress together.

If several people together cannot figure it out, don't even think about coming to him. He is now weak and sickly, and he is also unlearned. If you

don't understand, go to the Ministry of Works to ask the fourth brother. Although the fourth brother is not good at socializing, he has always been strict about learning. They

are all brothers. Whether the second brother can ask the fourth brother for help depends on his ability!

Anyway, regardless of whether the fourth brother helps or not, the image of the fourth brother in the hearts of these great scholars will rise sharply. For these great scholars, people with profound knowledge are always respected.

No matter what, no one can ask him to do work.

Anyway, he is weak and sick now, he can't lift things with his hands, his shoulders can't carry things, he can't stand fatigue, and he can't stand bullying and harsh words, otherwise, he will show you a scene of vomiting blood and fainting.

Lu Zexu thinks that if he keeps the status quo, it will not be long before his position as the crown prince will be replaced by someone else.

However, this does not mean that he has no worries.

Fangfeixuan and Liuliguan are doing very well, especially Liuliguan. Just relying on those small mirrors, he can make a fortune every day.

Adding the profits from pencils, chalks, and blackboards, his private treasury was already filled with gold and silver.

Lu Zexu was now in a state of self-feeding and the whole family was not hungry. He used part of the silver to buy silk, pens, ink, paper, and jewelry, but these were only a drop in the bucket of his private treasury.

Thinking of the endless silver, Lu Zexu divided the disabled, the injured, or the old from the secret guards and asked them to establish orphanages in various places to adopt homeless orphans.

No matter whether they were men or women, they were all treated equally.

At first, the head of the Dark Guards thought that Lu Zexu wanted to train the Dark Guards again, and the Dark Guards were all selected from orphans.

Little did he know that Lu Zexu had no such intention at all.

He established the Orphanage because he didn't want those homeless orphans to die or beg for a living, which was difficult to survive in this world.

Secondly, he wanted to teach these children to read and write, and let them learn chemistry from an early age, so that there might be a few children like the Fourth Prince who are very talented in chemistry.

In this way, it was not in vain that he worked hard to study every time he went to the small supermarket, memorizing the difficult knowledge, and writing it down immediately after returning. Later, he had to analyze it in detail, summarize it again in words that everyone could understand at the time, and compile it into a book.

He spent so much effort to bring the subject of chemistry to Daliang because he realized the importance of this subject.

He learned how to make soap, how to make pencils, chalks, and blackboards, and even made glass and mirrors. In addition to the huge wealth it brought him, it also brought great changes to the people of Daliang.

He didn't want to be the prince, and he was even less interested in the throne. Now his only interest should be to spread chemistry in Daliang.

Of course, for those children who are not interested in chemistry, the Salesian Home will also teach them some skills to make a living and make a living in this world.

Martial arts, ironwork, carpentry, embroidery, weaving, cooking, arithmetic, etc.

Of course, if there are good qualifications among them, Lu Zexu will still focus on training them to prepare for his future wandering around the world and visiting famous mountains and rivers.

Lu Zexu had a very beautiful idea, but unfortunately, one-third of the people in the secret guards were scattered to establish Salesian Homes in various states and counties in Daliang.

Lu Zexu had basically never been to other states and counties except the capital, and he didn't know the living conditions of the people in various places outside the capital.

He never thought that there would be so many orphans in various parts of Daliang!

Especially girls.

After receiving letters from secret guards in various places describing the local conditions, Lu Zexu directly opened his private treasury and asked people to send money to various places immediately. There

are too many orphans! Not to mention other places, in Jiangnan, such a land of fish and rice, such a rich place, there are no less than a thousand orphans under the age of 10!

Not to mention anything else, building a house that can accommodate so many people is a large sum of money, plus the expenses on food and clothing, sir, the consumption of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, that is really a huge number.

A charity home costs so much money, not to mention that Lu Zexu has sent so many people out and established 10 in various places in Daliang at one go.

The expenses in the early stage of establishment are the highest, and this is a long-term expense.

Lu Zexu was already running low on money.

That was why he rushed in impatiently the moment the door opened.

"Sister, help me!"

Sang Yian had just woken up and was not yet fully awake when she heard the scream. She was so frightened that even the sleepiness was scared away.

She walked over quickly and saw that he had no wounds. Sang Yian breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, tell me what happened?"

Lu Zexu looked at her pitifully, "Short of money."

Sang Yian smiled and patted his thin shoulder, "Don't worry, sister has prepared everything for you. Everything I buy for you this time will make you a fortune!"

As she spoke, she took out some small samples of the various soaps she had purchased in the past few days, as well as boxes of wholesale perfumes and various glass products in a certain Wu small commodity wholesale market.

The little prince's eyes widened, and he quickly leaned over to look at the dazzling array of goods on the long table. He could now hear the sound of money being moved into the private warehouse.

After being excited, Lu Zexu quickly clasped his fists, "Sister! You are really my sister! This time you really saved my life!"

Sang Yian was also very happy, "The quantity I prepared is sufficient, enough for you to sell for a while, and later let the boss put it directly in your warehouse, you will definitely make money."

The little parrot hanging on the side door suddenly spread its wings, flew over directly, and landed on the long table next to the side door.

It was seen holding its head high, its legs raised high, and walking with a step that did not recognize any relatives.

"Due to the huge size of this transaction, I can deliver it directly to the place you specify, such as a warehouse outside the palace."

Thinking of the energy he could get from this batch of transactions, the little parrot flew away and spoke without any scruples.

"That's great! This saves me from having to find an excuse to transport it!" Lu Zexu was even happier.

But Sang Yian reached out and grabbed it, complaining very aggrievedly, "Old man, this is your fault. You said you have this skill, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"When you and I cooperate, shouldn't we trust each other? Such an important thing, you actually hid it from me for so long!"

Sang Yian covered his heart with one hand, "I am so sad!"
