The grass and trees bowed their heads, the willows were silent, and the green leaves covered with dust curled up on the branches.

Today's morning is over.

The ministers came one after another to congratulate Li Jing on his achievement.

"Duke Weiguo, you are worthy of being the general who defends the country of our Tang Dynasty, so awesome!" Yuwen Shiji came up and praised him generously.

Li Jing glanced at the other person and said nothing.

Yuwen Shiji didn't care what the other party thought of him, and said, "There are many good things in Chang'an City recently. Some can be bought, but some can't. I will send some to the general later for him to try."

"Liuweizhai's first-rate wine is very hard to buy!"

"No need." Li Jing finally said, "Madam has already prepared it for me."

"Hahaha... you can never have too many good things! And Liuweizhai's first-class tea and wool yarn are very hard to get..."

Yuwen Shiji wanted to continue nagging, but was pushed aside by Xiao Yu.

Go away, is there any place for you here?

"Duke Weiguo." Xiao Yu bowed and grinned at Li Jing.

The sun was scorching hot overhead, and the gold teeth in Xiao Yu's mouth suddenly reflected the light.

Li Jing narrowed his eyes reflexively, feeling as if he was attacked by something.

Suddenly shocked.

"Duke Song!" Li Jing shouted, "What kind of hidden weapon do you have in your mouth?!"

"..."Xiao Yu.

I slapped my forehead and forgot. Li Jing had been on the expedition for several months and now he is a country bumpkin after returning.

"This is the gold tooth that Master Li filled for me!" Xiao Yu boasted. Master Li's medical skills were very impressive and now his tooth no longer hurts at all.

Moreover, his mouth is as golden as gold, and others think he is very stylish.

"Filling teeth with gold?" Li Jing only knew how to use silver paste to fill teeth, and this was the first time he had seen gold used.

"Yes, Master Li said that it is better to use gold-plated ones, which are harmless to the body."

"I see." Li Jing wanted to look away, but he couldn't help but look back, as if the gold tooth had some magical power.

After the civil officials exchanged greetings, the military generals came over to chat with Li Jing.

These military generals had a good relationship and didn't need so many fancy formalities, so each of them punched Li Jing.

"Old Li, it's you who's in the spotlight again!" Cheng Yaojin was envious, and he also wanted to go to war.

"Actually, I didn't contribute much this time. The supplies your majesty provided were good, and the soldiers didn't suffer much." Li Jing said modestly. Although the supplies were good, it would have been difficult to win if he hadn't been there.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin agreed with his face: "Indeed, it is because the emperor is wise and the woman is powerful that you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have taken advantage of it."

Li Jing: "..."

Zhijie still talks in such a rude way.

But why doesn't he talk rudely in front of Your Majesty?

When everyone walked to the door, Li Jing thought that everyone would go back in their carriages as before.

But when I went out, I saw a neatly arranged row of 28-inch bicycles.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others greeted Li Jing, then rode their own poles and returned to Li Jing.

"..." Li Jing felt like he was suddenly stabbed in the back.

Over there, Fang Xuanling rode his silver bicycle slowly past him and rang the bell.

"Duke Wei, I am leaving now!"

After saying that, he rode away unsteadily on his bicycle.

"Sir, sir, let's get in the carriage quickly. Madam is waiting at home!" The servant driving the horses walked up to Li Jing and drew his gaze back.

"What are they riding?"

"It's a bicycle. It's a new means of transportation in Nuzhuang. It's very convenient to use."

"Sir, the carriage His Majesty gave us has been in the mansion since early this morning, and Madam is learning how to ride it." The servant drove the horse and said, "There are also several large bicycles in the mansion. Now everyone goes out to buy things by bicycle."

"Let's go back and ask me to try too."

Nuzhuang, Nuzhuang, it seems that all the changes in the city are brought about by Nuzhuang.

Also, the baggage of his army is always inseparable from the shadow of Nuzhuang. What kind of manor is that?

……

Next to the Datang Publishing House is a larger building called the Datang Library.

The construction period of a library is much longer than that of a publishing house, not only because of the complex structure, but also because of the waiting time for books to be printed.

The building is four and a half stories high. The first and second floors are mainly used to store books. There are tables and chairs between the bookshelves for people to read and write.

The third and fourth floors are all side rooms, and the small attic on the top is where the management staff works.

The library's opening was unusually low-key.

There are no drums and gongs, no dragon and lion dances, and even the geographical location is extremely remote.

"Uncle Sanxi, prepare a blackboard and put it at the entrance of the library. Write down various precautions and rules in the library, such as prohibiting loud noises."

"We need to print some more and post them in every corner of the library. It would be best to separate the quiet area from the activity area, but even in the activity area, everyone is only asked to relax and not talk loudly."

"Master, the library is open 24 hours a day. What should we do if a student lives here directly?"

Feng Sanxi thought more.

There are many poor students in the city. Their library not only provides free reading and hot water, but is also open all the time. It is inevitable that some people will stay here.

"Has the space for the wing room in the backyard of the library been reserved?"

"Leave it behind."

In fact, the backyard room was originally planned to be used as an office for library managers so they could rest at night.

But Li Yin asked them to reserve the land in the backyard and use the small attic on the fifth floor of the library for everyone to use as an office.

"Uncle Sanxi, there is a type of accommodation called a beehive."

Li Yin said: "These students usually live in Taoist temples. The conditions there are difficult and the prices are not very cheap. It may not be as convenient for them to study as here."

“What kind of model is honeycomb housing?”

When Feng Sanxi heard this word for the first time, he couldn't help but feel confused.

“In fact, the accommodation is similar to that of the students who are learning to build biogas digesters, but it is more intensive.”

"Uncle Sanxi, the students can't sit and read all the time. When they are tired, they have to find a place to lie down and sleep. But accommodation in the city is extremely expensive. Do you want them to walk such a long way to sleep in temples and Taoist temples?"

Li Yin took out the blueprint from her pocket and handed it to Feng Sanxi.

"This is a beehive-type accommodation." Li Yin continued, "There must be a 60*70 cm window at the head of each bed, and it must face the sun."

"I calculated that each nest is one meter high, one meter wide, and two and a half meters long, leaving 30 centimeters of space at the end of the bed for shoes."

"Opposite the bed is the door, window and cabinet. One bed corresponds to one cabinet, where you can put your luggage."

"This way, the room can be ventilated and everyone can have their own privacy."

Li Yin doesn't expect the students to stay here for long. This is like a temporary place to stay. Those who pass the exam will return home in glory, while those who fail will probably leave in a few years.

Although this place is not big, it is cheap, close to the library, and very convenient.

"That's fine." Feng Sanxi thought about it.

It’s indeed good. For students from poor families, there is no better place to study than this.
