    Chapter 254: Starting a School (1)

    Li Chunfeng brought a message from Yuan Tiangang, saying that on the night of August 15th, his master and apprentice came to the bank of Xuanji in the upper reaches of the Luoshui River to verify the so-called "Ten Sons in a row" by the ancestors of the metaphysics sect. They looked for the so-called whirlpool but found no luck.  Tu Long was found hiding at the foot of the wall and was seriously injured.

    From Tu Long¡¯s mouth, Yuan Tiangang learned about Master Wang¡¯s whereabouts and intentions.

    Li Chunfeng said: "Master Wang sneaked into the Gold Casting Workshop last night, stole a giant clay bomb, and blew up the Xuanji Stone in order to find the secret book of martial arts that would become the best in the world."

    Yang Xiao didn¡¯t know if there were martial arts secrets, but he knew that the ancestors of the Li family tried to seal the Eye of the Earth here a hundred years ago, so there should be something important.  Except for Yang Xiao, everyone else present was puzzled that there was something hidden in the vast Luoshui River and in this long period of hundreds of years.

    "Then has he found it?" Yang Xiao asked.

    "I think I found something," Li Chunfeng said with a bitter smile. "In the early hours of the morning, my master and my uncle had already chased me away. I left a letter and gave it to Pindao, asking Pindao to come and inform him, so as not to worry His Highness."

    The uncle Li Chunfeng was talking about was Taoist Master Qingyun. No wonder he went to the Goldsmithing Workshop so early in the morning but there has been no news until now.  Master Wang, Yuan Tiangang and Taoist Priest Qingyun are brothers and sisters. They are all the best masters in the world. They should not be in danger for the time being.

    Everything seems to have come to an end. Although Huainan's troops forced Luoyang to fail, it also exposed Luoyang's shortcomings as the center of the Sui Dynasty.

    On the same day, Yao Luoyun sent back Li Qi, Master Qin and other fifteen people from Hulao Pass. The hundreds of thousands of Qin's goods were naturally lost on this trip, and the loss was really not small.

    It may not be possible to open the road to the Western Regions in a short time. What's more, when Meng Yao's troops invade Luoyang, they don't know what changes will happen to this road westward.

    Yesterday, when discussing with Mr. Zhu, they talked about the issue of the ownership of Li Qi and others. Falling into the canyon was originally a secret move hidden in Luoyang by Prince Yang Cheng. It is natural for him to return to the Imperial Guard this time.

    However, when Yang Xiao asked Li Qi if he had returned to the Imperial Guard, the answer he got was no. It was the eve of the storm now, and both generals and troops were far from insufficient.

    Finally, Yang Xiao ordered Li Qi to temporarily lead the remaining elite soldiers in the canyon and the tenants of Songjiazhuang-Qinfu to form a team of nearly 300 people to train diligently for future use.  This team naturally includes Da Dao and Da Niu.

    Yao Luoyun and Wang Heng deducted 5,000 soldiers from the Imperial Guard, and the total number of veterans and recruits is now only 15,000.  It is far from enough to restore the old views of the Sui Dynasty and make Kyushu surrender.

    Raising troops requires money

    This year, five million in tax money from Huainan and Jiangnan was collected in advance, but after the great changes in the succession, not a cent was received. As of late August, the tax money from various places in Kyushu has not been received yet.  This is also an important basis for the self-respect of the troops of various governments.

    Uncle Zhu and the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs took care of the money matters, so Yang Xiao naturally didn't care.

    During these days, except for going to the south bank of Luoshui River to watch Li Shiyin and Qing'er making soil bombs, he spent the rest of his time at Wangjiang Tower.  At this time, Wangjiang Tower was under repair. It was purchased from Madam Mao at a low price through His Highness Changsun's "brand" and used as a medicine shop for Li Pu and his son.

    Busy here and there, a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the Li family's pharmacy has also opened. Although the business was not very good in the early stage, with Old Man Li, the miracle doctor, it is not a long time before Wangjiang Tower can regain its bustle.  .

    During this month, Yang Xiao practiced "Taoist health-preserving skills" every day with the help of Li Pu's acupuncture. As the inner breath circulated smoothly, Yang Xiao's body also improved greatly, although it was still not as good as when he first arrived.  He was not as strong as in the Sui Dynasty, but at least he could walk on his own.

    Except for Qin Xiaoxiao who accompanied him, the other women all went their separate ways. It may be difficult for Dong Xiangyun to understand the resentment in her heart and followed the female master of the star divination sect southward to Huainan.

    Recently, Qing'er was also interested in studying gunpowder, cement, steel-making, etc. She and Li Shiyin spent day and night in the gold-making workshop, ignoring Monk Hua, who was originally the most important person in her heart, which made Yang  Laughing and sighing.

    Girl Hui also followed her father Xu Xiaode back to the Xu Mansion after Meng Yao's army retreated from Luoyang City. When she left, she looked at Yang Xiao with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of longing for Yang Xiao to come riding a white horse to marry her.

    On this day, Qin Xiaoxiao returned to Qin Mansion, leaving Yang Xiao alone with the old monk sitting in the main hall of Faming Temple chatting.

    "How have you been feeling recently?" The old monk's face was glowing again after more than a month of rest.

    Yang Xiao leaned against the back of the chair, put his feet on another chair, and said, "Much better."

      "How is Donor Li's Taoist health-preserving skills going?"

    "I don't know what level I have reached?" Yang Xiao shook his head and said, "I have never liked practicing kung fu since I was a child, and I don't know how to distinguish the level of kung fu. But now Xiao Lizi doesn't need to give me acupuncture, I can practice kung fu by myself."

    The old monk nodded after hearing this and said: "This is the best. Health preservation and Qigong practice are both about step-by-step progress. You can't take any advantage or slack off."

    Yang Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you practice or not -"

    The old monk was shocked when he heard this. He looked at him carefully for a while and then sighed: "You know everything?"

    Yang Xiao didn't intend to hide it from the old monk, and said calmly: "That day, I heard some of what you said to Mr. Li -" Yang Xiao put down his legs and sat up straight, staring at the old monk.  He said sincerely, "Old monk, tell me how many years are left?"

    The old monk looked at him and shook his head without saying anything.

    Yang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't tell me, I know it won't be more than ten years, right?"

    The old monk looked at him in surprise: "How did you know?"

    "How many numbers can be counted with one hand, maybe even less than five years."

    The old monk nodded and sighed: "Donor Li said that your vitality has been repeatedly destroyed for seven years. Without the nourishment of the jade yin and yang pendant, it can last for up to seven years."

    "Do you still want to practice the Taoist health-preserving skills to the extreme?"

    ¡°Yeah,¡± the old monk nodded, ¡°But when my master came back to the world, he said that cultivators can rebuild their bodies.¡±

    "Cultivation?"

    "You are destined to be the ancestor of the Li family. Can you find the method of cultivation in that sacred book?"

    Yang Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "That half of the notes just records some fragmentary things and has nothing to do with practice."

    "Maybe it's in the second half of the book?" the old monk guessed.

    "Maybe," Yang said with a smile, "I don't have any hope, not to mention that half of the book is now with Meng Yao."

    "Then what are your plans?"

    "What are your plans?" Yang smiled and said, "There are still a few years left. Since I am the eldest grandson of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, I have to make some achievements."

    Yang Xiao stood up when he said this and said: "I was just going to tell you when I came back today. I will go to Guanzhong in a few days and then go to Hexi for a walk."

    "Hexi - General Shangguan?"

    Yang Xiao nodded and said: "The stinky bitch came to tell me that chaos has arisen in the twenty-seven countries in the Western Regions. Now that the taxes and money in the south cannot be collected, we have to look northwest. The Silk Road - it cannot be interrupted."

    "But things are still uncertain here, how can you get away?"

    Yang Xiao said impatiently: "Although Mr. Pig is devoted to politics, it's a pity that he has no one available for him. Except for Mr. Zhao from the Criminal Department, everyone else has two purposes so far. I'll go and bring back the stinky old woman."

    Saying goodbye to the old monk, Yang Xiao got on the carriage back to Qin Mansion. Now he was the eldest grandson of the Great Sui Emperor, and there were retinues sent by Uncle Zhu from the Prince's Mansion when he came in and out.

    A dozen or so retinues, holding luxurious carriages, rushed through the woods toward the village of Songjiazhuang.  Yang Xiao sat in the bumpy carriage with his eyes closed and thinking about something. The conversation with the old monk today was not a temporary impulse on his part. His life has been rushed for decades but he has done very few things that are truly meaningful. Now he is the emperor.  The grandson, Uncle Zhu, and the old emperor were also extremely dedicated to themselves, not to mention having half of the sacred book of the ancestors of the Li family, Yang Xiao certainly hoped that the Sui Dynasty could be changed in his lifetime.

    But although Yang Xiao can understand the sacred book, except for gunpowder and steelmaking, which can continue to be carried forward, he is also confused about other processes such as cement, glass, silica gel, etc., and future generations will be uneducated and incompetent. Even if he is told the production method now,  Still no solution.  It seems that the golden finger of time travel is not unlimited.  The progress of society ultimately depends on the accumulation of human experience.

    The carriage rolled forward slowly along the ancient road. Yang Xiao lifted the curtains of the carriage, and several children happily ran past the carriage with hunting equipment to catch up with the hunters in front of them. That was a family. The sun was in the middle of the day.  It seems that this family is going to Longyunjian to bury some agency information and catch some prey to supplement the family income.

    In the past, bows and arrows were mostly used for hunting in Songjiazhuang. Since Yang Xiao came, every family has learned to use big swords and big swords in their spare time. They went to Beimang Mountain and Longyun Stream to set up some hunting equipment and wait for the rabbits. After two days, they went up the mountain to harvest.

    The current hunting devices in Songjiazhuang have evolved from the two or three types invented by Yang Xiao to more than ten types, which greatly enriched the methods and improved the efficiency.

    The wisdom of the masses is infinite

    The source of wisdom is life. Yang Xiao suddenly remembered this saying that everyone will know in later generations.

    My personal abilities are limited and I cannot make cement, glass or future high-tech products, but the Sui Dynasty has thousands of people., I just want to give them a head start, so Sui is not happy.  Just like Li Shiyin's research on gunpowder, Li Pu's study of medicine, and Chen Yurong, who had a close relationship with Song's father but loved "chemistry", aren't these all talents?

    Gathering together to popularize knowledge, Yang Xiao suddenly understood these thoughts that had been chaotic for a long time.

    "Old Qian, turn around and go to the Prince's Mansion" Yang Xiao suddenly shouted to the big man driving the car in front.

    ¡°Your Highness isn¡¯t going to Qin Mansion?¡± The big man in front of him reined in his horse¡¯s rope and asked in confusion.

    "I'm not going." Yang Xiao smiled and turned to a guard beside the car and said, "Brother Gu, please send a few people to Qin Mansion to inform him. Let's go see the prince first."

    "My subordinates are obeying the order," the servant responded respectfully, and ordered several of his subordinates to ride their horses to Qin Mansion to report the news.

    The carriage turned around and left Songjiazhuang and sped towards Daxing Palace.  .
