Chapter 185: The army crushes the city
Chen Shuda said: "I also have to propose this method, two or three years later, Chen Chu grows up, and his temperament is almost sharpened, so he can naturally marry the eldest princess." ”
Li Er was in a good mood and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have solved a big trouble in my heart for me, okay, today, I invite you to eat a mutton hot pot in this manna hall." ”
……
Just when Li Er and his friends were eating mutton hot pot in the Ganlu Palace.
The newly built pencil factory is far away from the pencil factory of the eldest grandson's family.
In one of the courtyards.
Zhu Neng and the others sat together, with sad faces.
All sighed.
I only heard Zhu Neng say: "Everyone, we are fortunate to meet a good person like the boss in our three lives, now, pencils, popsicles, everything is being produced in an orderly manner, but we have leisure time, this has been half a month, there is nothing to do, and the boss has to pay for us every day, this money, with a heart is not steady......"
"yes, I've never seen such a generous person as the boss."
"If I met the boss earlier, who would go to Qingfeng Village to be a mountain bandit!"
"Elder Zhu is right, this money is not steady."
These kind-hearted and simple guys actually feel uncomfortable sitting like this to receive money.
This is also the reason why everyone is depressed.
Just when everyone was grieving, a figure walked in.
Zhu Neng and the others stood up in unison and shouted excitedly: "Boss! ”
The person who came in was none other than Chen Chu.
Chen Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't be idle, Lao Zhu, come, you can allocate the manpower and collect these raw materials for me, the more the better......"
Zhu Neng took it and took a look, only to see that it was written on the paper: limestone, ordinary clay, iron-smelting slag.
has been following Chen Chu for a long time, and everyone is no stranger to these things.
Zhu Neng immediately arranged for people to go to find these things separately.
Chen Chu said: "Lao Zhu, you bring a few good craftsmen and come with me ......."
Several people followed Chen Chu to the bottom of a hill not far from the pencil factory.
Chen Chu took out another drawing and said, "Use the fastest speed to build a furnace, which is similar to a blast furnace." ”
Zhu Neng immediately took the craftsmen and began to get busy.
I think that at the beginning, Chen Chu took Zhu Neng and others to build one blast furnace after another.
Nowadays, if you want to build a furnace, you will naturally have your hands on it.
When it gets dark.
A brand new furnace was built.
The people sent out by Zhu Neng also came back.
An old man said: "Boss, I went to the iron mine in the north of Chang'an to buy iron slag, I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect that I quietly stuffed the general who guarded the iron mine ten times of money, and he asked me to wait to pull the iron slag away, and said that I would pull as much ...... as I needed."
Chen Chu's eyes lit up.
Iron slag can be used as waste in later generations.
But in this era of shoddy production, iron slag has no value, but is a burden.
He immediately called Cheng Chubi and instructed: "Chubi, you organize people overnight, and gather all the people from the pencil manufacturing factory, the high-grade paper factory, and the people of your Lu Guogong Mansion to transport iron slag to the north of the city, and you must hurry up, and strive to transport all the iron slag here before tonight, even if you can't finish it, you must transport it out of the iron ore and find a place to pile it up, understand?" ”
Cheng Chubi was surprised: "Uncle, isn't it iron slag?" It's something that no one wants, and if you need it, you can get it whenever you want. ”
Chen Chu said: "Silly boy, the current iron slag doesn't need money, and in the future, it may not be, go quickly, tell everyone, all the wages will be raised." ”
"Yes!"
As soon as they heard about the wage increase, everyone was excited.
For those who have status and status, and do not worry about food and clothing, overtime is a painful thing.
But for these people, who don't even have enough to eat, they are very happy.
Because there is money for overtime!
As long as you have money, you will not be reluctant to give up your strength at all.
In a short time, the pencil factory, the high-grade paper factory, and the people of the Lu Guogong Mansion drove towards Chang'an City with torches.
Chen Chu felt that it was not enough, so he called Cheng Chubi and mobilized the manpower of several surrounding villages, ox carts, horse carts, donkey carts, and rickshaws, all of which were dispatched.
According to incomplete statistics, this night, there were at least 6,000 people coming and going outside the north and east of Chang'an City, and the momentum was very huge, and there was also a steady stream of people around Chang'an City joining in.
Meanwhile.
Chen Chu stayed awake all night, took Zhu Neng and others, and started to light a fire overnight to burn cement.
……
Bang bang bang.
Quiet late night.
Outside the main hall, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, human voices.
Li Er woke up suddenly.
He turned his head to look, and saw that there was a crowd of people outside the main hall, and the torches were shining.
He pushed away the eldest grandson queen in his arms, put on the dragon robe, and didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he hurried to the front hall.
I happened to see Gao Chen walking in, so he asked, "What's the matter?" Why is there a mess outside the Yanjia Palace? ”
Gao Chen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Lord Eldest Sun, Lord Fang and others broke into the Yanjia Palace, saying that there is something big to report to Your Majesty. ”
Yanjia Hall is the place where the queen lives, and it is the harem of the harem.
Ministers are not allowed to set foot in a half-step unless there is a major event.
Eldest Sun Wuji and the others actually broke in?
Could it be ......
Li Er's expression changed greatly, and he hurried out.
When he came to the outside of the main hall, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Qi, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others gathered here, all of them looking shocked.
Li Er asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, could it be that someone is rebelling?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, after the time passed, the fire outside the city suddenly soared, and the ministers received a notice from the city guard, saying that there were countless torches lit outside the city, and it seemed that there was a large army pressing the border, from the east of the city to the north of the city, you could see the light of the march, not to mention tens of thousands of people......
A large army is coming to the city?
He looked up at the northeastern sky, and it was incomparably bright.
It's a lot of noise!
Li Er's complexion changed greatly.
This kind of thing happened to him at the beginning.
That is the great army of the Turks.
Today, the Turks have been pacified.
Who else?
Who else has the ability to quietly send a large army to surround Chang'an City?
Li Er was confused.
The ministers were also confused.
Li Er asked, "Have you ever sent someone to investigate?" Has the garrison in the city ever been sent? ”
Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already patted the scouts out of the city to investigate, presumably there will be news in a short time, and all the garrisons in the city have been dispatched, but if there are really tens of thousands of horses, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle." ”
Li Er was neatly dressed under Gao Chen's service.
His face turned cold, and he said: "Hmph, who is the thief, who dares to attack Chang'an City at night, all Aiqing, quickly go back and change into armor, and follow me out of the palace to meet the enemy." ”
At the beginning, Chang'an City was not guarded by soldiers, and Li Er took more than 60 horsemen to scare the Turkic army away.
Now, there are still soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, how can they be cowardly?
For a while, from Li Er down, everyone was impassioned.
Niu Jinda and the others rubbed their hands excitedly: "Oops, I haven't cut people for a long time......"
