    In the back garden of Prince Qi's Mansion in Keelung City, in order to give Chou Chou and the others a place to play, Li Min built a huge shed in the garden. The shed was covered with various green vines to block the sunlight from the sky.  Under the shed, there are various play tools built for Chou Chou. For example, when he was in Dengzhou, the slides and wooden horses in the toy room were all moved here.

    In an open space under this shed, there are five wooden fairways divided by white lines. On each fairway are a pile of wooden bottles, ten in each pile, in the shape of an equilateral triangle, which looks very neat.  And amid a burst of screams, five round wooden balls rolled fast or slowly through the fairway towards the wooden bottles.

    With the sound of 'bang', except for the wooden ball on the far left that knocked down all the bottles, the other four wooden balls did not knock down all the bottles. The most outrageous thing was the wooden ball on the far right.  Because the force was too small, the root stopped before it rolled in front of the bottle.

    "Oh~, great, I won again!" Sizi jumped up and the ball on the left was hers.  Si Zi was playing bowling with Cai'er, Chou Chou, Australia and Nanyang. Speaking of which, Si Zi was really talented and quickly mastered the skills. In just a few days, he had surpassed  Li Min became the number one master in Prince Qi's palace.

    As for the weak ball on the far right, it was naturally thrown by Li Min's youngest son Nanyang. He is only two years old now. Even the lightest bowling ball can only be held with both hands and pushed forward awkwardly.  , and every time he used too much force, causing him to crawl down on the fairway. However, this kid is very naughty and never cries when he falls. Instead, he likes to crawl to the bottles at the other end of the fairway, and then one by one  Push the bottle over.  Then he sat there and shouted proudly to Sizi: "Auntie~Auntie~"

    Seeing Nanyang¡¯s cute little villain¡¯s triumphant appearance immediately made Li Min, Xin and others watching nearby laugh heartily.  Speaking of which, Nanyang is the eldest son of Li Min. Li Shimin asked Li Shimin to name him. After thinking hard for more than a month, Li Shimin finally decided on the name Li Mian. Mian has many explanations, one of which refers to the name worn by emperors and scholar-bureaucrats.  However, since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, only the emperor could wear the crown, and Li Shimin actually named Nanyang as the crown.  The intention is very intriguing.

    "You stinky Nanyang, you are cheating again!" Sizi said angrily, and walked over.  He picked up Nanyang and spanked her, which made the little guy scream in fright. Then he suddenly got the idea and started shouting "Good aunt~good aunt~", which finally made Sizi giggle.

    Si Zi has been playing for such a long time.  At this time, I was a little thirsty, so I put down Nanyang, ran to Li Min's table, reached out and drank a bowl of tea, and then said to Li Min: "Brother Six, where did Brother Nine go? Why?  You won¡¯t see anyone in Taiwan?¡±

    After hearing this, Li Min showed a playful smile and said: "Don't worry, Sizi, you don't have to worry about your Ninth Brother. He didn't come to Taiwan just for fun. My father has a lot of things to do for him, so in a short time  , I guess neither you nor Cai'er will be able to see him."

    "Ah, it's not easy to come to Taiwan. Why is Brother Jiu so busy again?" Si Zi said a little unhappy.  When I was in Chang'an.  She had the best relationship with Li Min and Li Zhi, but later Li Min went out to serve as an official.  There were only a handful of times when she returned to Chang'an, and after Li Zhi became the prince, he had no time to accompany her anymore. He thought he could be with his two brothers this time out, but he didn't expect that Li Zhi disappeared as soon as he arrived in Taiwan.

    Seeing that Sizi was a little unhappy, the person next to him immediately said: "Sizi, although Keelung is lively, there is nothing interesting. Why don't we go to Penghu in a few days? Your sixth brother has an island there. The island  The scenery on the island is very beautiful, and we can also swim, grill fish, and collect shells on the island"

    "Okay, okay, let's go to Penghu. I haven't been there for a long time. I really miss the feeling of swimming in the sea!" Before Xin finished her words, Cai'er rushed over and said.  She was born in Tainan, not far from Penghu. She is very familiar with the place, and it is also one of the places she most wants to visit.

    Although Sizi is almost twelve years old, he grew up in the palace and has an innocent and innocent personality, just like a child. So when he heard the two sisters-in-law praising Penghu so well, he immediately dismissed Ninth Brother Li Zhi.  Putting the matter aside, he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Great, I've heard Sister Cai'er tell me about it a long time ago. Sister Cai'er, you must teach me how to swim!"

    Seeing that Si Zi had diverted his attention, Li Min also breathed a sigh of relief. He had given Li Zhi two suggestions before, one was easy and free, and the other was very hard. As a result, Li Zhi chose the second one as expected. Now he is in  Let's start a new life under our own arrangements.

    This is a wood warehouse in a shipyard near Keelung Port. The dry warehouse is filled with mountains of wood.??, teams of workers are carrying the timber, and then transporting it away by large carriages on the railway tracks. Although the train has appeared now, the timber warehouse is not far from the dock. If it is used by train, the cost is too high.  , so this kind of horse-drawn carriage mounted on rails has been used, which can transport a large amount of wood at a time.

    "Brothers, work harder. As long as we finish transporting this batch of wood, we can rest today!" A strong middle-aged man shouted, then bent down and lifted up a sawed piece with another companion.  The wood was thrown onto a four-carriage on the railway track after a few steps, making a loud "thud" sound.  He is the foreman of a moving team and supervises five people.

    "Liu Tou, do you have any mung bean soup after you finish working?" a young man with an obvious Jiangnan accent asked loudly.  Although the weather in Taipei is not as hot as Tainan, they all do heavy work, so they are tired and sweating after a while, and naturally want to drink a bowl of cold mung bean soup to relieve the fever.

    "Little bastards know how to drink. Hurry up and finish the work. Today is Brother Yang's first day at work. I'm going to treat you tonight. Let's go to the restaurant at the east entrance of the factory and have a few drinks!" The middle-aged man known as Liu Tou  The man cursed loudly, "Liu Tou is the oldest in this work team. Although he is a fierce scolder, he is very measured and usually takes good care of his brothers in the team, so he is respected by everyone."

    "Liu Tou is too polite. I should be the one to invite everyone. How can I let Liu Tou spend money?" A young and delicate young man next to Liu Tou said with a smile.  He is the Yang brother mentioned by Liu Tou. He just came here to work today. His name is Yang Jiu. He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. He is a little thin, but he works very hard. He is shirtless like the others, but his skin is  It is very white, tender and delicate, which is obviously different from the dark complexion of other workers.

    "Brother Yang, you're welcome. This is our rule here. For every new brother, Liu Tou will invite us out for a few drinks, and you don't have to worry about him. Mrs. Liu is very strict, and Liu Tou has nothing to do in his hands.  We don¡¯t have much money, so it won¡¯t cost much for him to treat us!¡± The young man with a Jiangnan accent who just spoke laughed again, and by the way exposed Liu Tou¡¯s shortcomings, which made other people laugh, but Liu  Tou cursed angrily, picked up a piece of wood and wanted to hit it, but unfortunately this Jiangnan guy ran away with a smile.

    Yang Jiu also laughed. Liu Tou had already introduced him when he first arrived. The young man with a Jiangnan accent was named Hu Han. He was from Jizhou, Jiangnan Province. To be precise, he was a refugee living in Jizhou. He had just arrived half a year ago.  I moved to Taiwan and have been working in the factory for three or four months.  In addition, the bearded man who is carrying things with Liu Tou is called Da Qiang. The tall and thin man who is carrying things with Hu Han is named Luo, but everyone calls him Zhugan. As for the people who are carrying things with Yang Jiu, there is a man in his twenties.  The dull man, named Wang San, has a strong back and strong waist. He entered the factory two days earlier than Yang Jiu. He usually doesn't like to talk, but he is very strong. When he and Li Zhi work together to lift wood, he is mostly the one doing the hard work.

    Yang Jiu is the pseudonym of Li Zhi. Li Min gave him two suggestions a few days ago. The first suggestion is to let him walk around Taiwan and observe with his own eyes. Whatever he can learn is up to him.  The second suggestion was that Li Min arranged for him to completely abandon his identity as a prince and integrate into the life of Taiwan as an ordinary person, savoring the ups and downs of the lower class people and increasing his social experience.

    For Li Zhi, the first suggestion was just to let him observe as an outsider, just like he had walked around at will in places such as Datang and Dengzhou. Li Zhi was already feeling a little tired of this.  The second suggestion is completely different, especially for him to temporarily abandon his identity as a prince and become an ordinary person. This is undoubtedly very attractive to Li Zhi, who has grown up in a palace and has no chance to go out.  Here in Taiwan, Li Zhi only had such an opportunity. If he were in the Tang Dynasty, there would be countless pairs of eyes staring at him. Even with Li Shimin's support, he would not dare to do this.

    Unsurprisingly, Li Zhi naturally chose the second option. As a result, Li Min laughed loudly and asked Li Zhi to change his name to Yang Jiu. Cai'er chose this for him, and took her surname Yang.  He wanted to use his mother's surname, but unfortunately the surname Zhangsun was too rare, so he simply took Cai'er's surname.

    Then after a few days of preparation, Li Zhi was arranged by Li Min to go to this shipyard, and he started from the bottom to carry wood in this warehouse. Each team had a fixed amount every day, so finish it early and get off work early.  If the task is tight, you will need to work overtime, sometimes even without rest all night. Of course, overtime pay will be paid for overtime work.  However, Li Zhi hoped to never work overtime, because it had just been a day and he was already so tired that his whole body ached and he wanted to lie down on the ground and take a rest immediately.
