"Then I would like to thank Your Highness first."

Qingxuzi happily bowed to Li Dan with a gratified smile on his face. He did not mind what Li Dan said, because Li Dan's words were sincere, which Qingxuzi could naturally hear.

Wu Zetian touched Li Dan's head and said with a smile: "In those days, ten dan of grain and five rolls of linen were a lot of money."

Li Dan scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Is that so? Isn't this just one month's salary for the Imperial Guards?"

“So, the world is better now.”

Qingxuzi said cheerfully, "Born in this world, there is actually no need to travel the world. Wu Yi and his people can make more money traveling to remote areas than traveling the world. At the very least, staying in your hometown will always provide you with enough food and clothing. Why go out and live in the open air?"

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, then looked at Lü Dongbin and asked, "What about Taoist Lü? Can you also tell us about your travels in the martial arts world?"

In fact, the dojo has produced very few things in the past ten years, far less than what the craftsmen in Yuzhou have produced.

Qingxuzi also shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't go either. It's just the beginning and we can't tell anything. After we graduate this semester and look at the final results, we will select some students for training next semester. If there are really talented people, we will let them go to the gym for internship next year."

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will wait and see."

As for the instructors, that is not a problem at all. We can just randomly assign some people from the dojo to teach. If that doesn’t work, we can transfer them from Yuzhou.

After a while, Li Xian came in to toast, starting with Li Zhi and then toasting everyone one by one.

"I won't let your majesty down."

Even if the magic tricks in the martial arts world are just scams, Tang Lu has no right to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Li Zhi nodded and asked Lu Dongbin, "What gadgets are you researching recently, Taoist priest?"

Wang Zheng did not refuse the invitation and said with a smile, "Okay, I will ask His Majesty for permission some other day and then go to the gym to have a good chat with you guys."

"That's fine."

It's basically pure profit.

This is not because Wang Zheng is being modest, but because he really doesn't have much to advise the two of them.

"Hehe, there's nothing much to say about my life in the martial arts world. It's just some things that can't be put on the table."

Qingxuzi said cheerfully, "One can learn from others' experience. We two are so focused on our research that we often fail to see or overlook some key points. Perhaps a casual suggestion from the chief steward can give us great inspiration."

Although the college stipulates that the length of study in each college is two years, as long as one has studied enough, one is allowed to skip a grade. Anyway, the seventh and sixth colleges are vacant, so it doesn't matter if one is promoted.

Lu Dongbin seemed confident, and then said to Wang Zheng: "If you have time, you may come to the Taoist temple."

When it was Wang Zheng's turn, Wang Zheng stopped him from toasting and said with a smile: "You don't have to drink the whole glass. Just show your appreciation. Even though it's a happy occasion, you shouldn't drink too much."

Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "You have already surpassed me in your respective fields. Even if I come to the scene, I may not be of much help to you."

The most important thing is that Li Zhi is rich and doesn't care about this. Moreover, investing in a gym is not a loss and he can always earn it back a thousand times.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "When the steward is free, come and find me. Then we can go to the gym together. I haven't been to the gym for a long time."

Lu Dongbin and Qingxuzi were able to be relaxed in front of the Emperor and the Empress. As the saying goes, one is strong when he has no desires. They did not ask for anything from Li Zhi, so they could naturally get along with him in a normal manner.

Xiao Yuehua took care of Li Dan, and Luo Xiaomei took care of Xiao Taiping, which made Wu Zetian feel more relaxed.

After eating and drinking for a while, Li Zhi asked, "This year, a small number of students who have been promoted to the Seventh Academy have begun to learn about the teachings of the Taoist temple. Have the two Taoist priests gone to the academy to discover some good seedlings?"

After the two learned the basics of three-acid and two-base chemistry from Wang Zheng ten years ago, they have been researching various materials, the most important of which are various minerals. Among them, metals are the top priority, because the country has a huge demand for gold, silver, copper and iron.

Lu Dongbin shook his head. "I don't have the time. I have been working on a little gadget for a while, and I have only made some progress in the past two days, so I haven't paid attention to the academy. Brother, have you been to the academy?"

Lu Dongbin didn't mind offending Li Zhi. What he said almost choked Li Zhi, but Li Zhi knew that Lu Dongbin was just speaking the truth, so he didn't get angry.

Lü Dongbin put down his chopsticks belatedly, bowed to Li Zhi, and said, "I am too presumptuous, but it is really hard to explain. Let's do it as before. When the things are ready, I will explain it to Your Majesty in detail."

Lü Dongbin is only a little over 50 this year. He was in the Tang Dynasty. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to tell him about it? Wang Zheng, who is the most particular about strictly enforcing Tang laws, is right next to him. Didn't he see that Xuzi was talking about things during the Sui Dynasty?

Therefore, although the Taoist temple progressed slowly, Li Zhi still maintained a high investment. Not only were the salaries of the Taoist temple staff extremely high, but he was also able to basically give them whatever they wanted. Anyway, these people in the Taoist temple would not engage in corruption, and the things they were given were basically put to practical use.

Just at this moment, a palace maid brought up the dishes, which relieved Lu Dongbin's embarrassment. Li Zhi looked at Wang Zheng, but did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he began to invite everyone to eat.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian did not take it seriously. They could maintain a certain respect for such people who worked hard and did not seek wealth, fame, or power. They could trust such people more than those guys in the court.

“It’s hard to explain to outsiders.”

"OK."

With the things in the Taoist temple now, Li Zhi is confident that he can sweep away the wealth of the aristocratic families several times.

Li Xian looked at Li Zhi, and after Li Zhi nodded, he bowed to Wang Zheng and said, "Thank you, sir."

Li Xian toasted everyone at the table, and even Xiao Taiping clinked his teacup with his, "Congratulations, brother."

"Thank you, Imperial Sister."

Then Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, go out and do your work. You don't have to worry about this later."

Although the people at this table were the most important, Li Xian did not need to entertain them much. Not to mention Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, Wang Zheng's family, Lu Dongbin and Qingxuzi were all more casual people. They went straight back after eating and drinking.
