No matter who loses two or three hundred thousand, and then the boss says to make it up for you, he will be happy.

After comforting these soldiers, Li Chengqian returned to the village with 200 people.

It's sunset, and tomorrow begins, and it's the official hunt. Or rather, slaughter.

It was originally the work of the hunters, but now it has fallen to the head of the prince's own leadership, and it is destined to change. The horizontal knife, a sharp weapon that belongs to armaments, naturally has its terrible place. A bow and arrow with more than two stones is equivalent to a modern controlled knife, and private possession will be punished.

Back in the village, the skins of the prey hunted today were given to the people here to keep them warm.

When he saw the wolf skins of several wolves, he was put on the heads of the children in the village to scare his companions, and then he was scolded by his father and mother for being stained with blood. Seeing this scene, Ashina Helu didn't know what to say.

The current environment of the Western Turks is such that even if someone is elected as khan in a short period of time, he will be quickly replaced by another person. However, there is one thing that is the same for all tribes, that is, everyone is dreaming of conquering the Central Plains.

With his father's death and seeing the encroachment on his family by Hago and others, it was hard for him to imagine how a race with endless internal strife could defeat this terrifying empire.

During the period of living in the racecourse, he found that the Tang Dynasty was the happiest, because in a huge piece of land, only the emperor could speak, and even if the ministers fought against each other, they were generally above the court. The neighboring tribes of the Western Turks were always quarreling with each other. But from the border all the way to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't find any war.

"Sister, if I really have the opportunity to return to the Western Turks, I will also build the Western Turks into an empire like the Tang Dynasty. Fighting in the nest is a vice, and if the wolves of the grassland can't learn to cooperate with each other and unite as one, they will only be shot by the Tang people like these wolves! ”

Hearing her younger brother say this, Ashina Xue sighed and said, "It's good to be ambitious, but what you need now is to grow up." The forces left behind by your father, you can only regain their allegiance with your own bravery. Heru, you must understand that in this world, the weak will always depend on the strong. ”

....

Listening to the translation of the tongue man, Li Chengqian, who was hiding in the shadows, smiled and turned to leave.

It seems that it is correct to find a soldier who can speak Turkic to follow, and finally know that Helu really still has his own power in the Western Turks. Judging from the fact that he will become the Western Turk Khan in the future, this force is not small. Heru wants to become the real king, and wants to stop the strife within the clan, but the premise of all this is still fighting. Only by conquering all the tribes will he be able to realize his ideas. And those who are used to being free probably don't want someone to stand above them and point fingers.

Back in the house, he picked up his pen and began to write letters to the emperor. This news may be able to finalize Helu's handling plan. A person who can bring war to the enemy, put it back, it is much better than killing.

As soon as he finished writing the letter, Zhang Yun walked in with a meal.

"Your Highness, some villagers came and said that they would follow them into the mountain tomorrow, saying that they were also responsible for defending the village."

After taking the rice plate and eating a piece of meat, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Let them follow, with the protection of the army, there should be no accidents, it is a waste to throw away the prey, and some fur can still be used to keep out the cold." The broken furs in Chang'an City can't be sold for a good price, this is the countryside, and the people can use it. Let them follow the logistics team and deliver the loot. ”

Zhang Yun nodded, and saw that there was a letter on the table that had not yet been painted with fire paint, so he personally painted the letter and handed it to a soldier to send to the palace.

Early the next morning, the army was fully assembled and began to march into the mountains in an orderly manner with a team of ten people.

A team of ten people, regardless of what prey is caught alive, can even be dealt with by a bear. Datang's horizontal knife is extremely sharp, and it is not a problem to cut a medium-sized beast like a leopard in half with one sword.

With a whole bag of arrows on his back, Li Chengqian also entered the mountain under the escort of more than 50 people.

"Archery should be as you please, don't worry too much about gains and losses. Just like hunting, the more you are afraid of shooting at the body of the prey and destroying the skin, the more inaccurate the shot. obviously has a chance to shoot, but because of hesitation, maybe the opportunity will slip away in vain. ”

While walking, Feng Ang explained to Li Chengqian the experience of archery.

There were a few soldiers jumping angrily under a big tree, Feng Ang looked over there and shot an arrow casually. Immediately, a cheetah fell from the tree. Feng An's arrow still hit the leopard's head from such a distance.

Li Chengqian nodded, and suddenly heard a sound in the grass next to him, so he ripped open the bowstring.

A goat ran out of the grass, and instead of caring about the gains and losses, the arrow hit the goat's head accurately.

Teaching in practice is the fastest way to teach, with Feng An's teaching, Li Chengqian only feels that his archery skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

On the other hand, Ashina Helu was dejected to find that the prince's archery skills had really surpassed those he grew up on horseback.

Shooting one or two beasts once in a while was not a big deal, but when the outside of the village was full of beasts, Li Chengqian found that there were so many beasts at this time. It's almost a hill to wrap up.

The men who can peel the skin are hurrying to peel the skin, but no matter how fast they are, they can't keep up with the speed of the army's hunting, and many prey are still slowly frozen by the cold wind.

"Brother Huang, can I take this black bear skin with me if I want to? I want to give it to the Queen Mother. ”

Seeing Li Ke's embarrassed appearance, Li Chengqian knew that this black bear must have consumed a lot of his mental energy.

"Of course, the prey you shoot down, the right to dispose of it belongs to you."

Li Ke immediately became happy, Concubine Yang gave birth to another son, and now Li Ke also has his own sibling brother, so he also hopes to be his brother like the crown prince's brother.

As for Li Tai, Li Ke is still clear, calling the third brother is the friendship that Li Tai gave him, in fact, his identity is really not comparable to their brothers.

The army went back and forth, but the number of prey brought back did not decrease, but increased. The closer you get to the Qinling Mountains, the more beasts there are. Compared to Orion, the army is too efficient in clearing out wild beasts. If he is in a hurry, he will deal with him with a horizontal knife, and if he runs away, he will shoot with an arrow. It doesn't matter if it can't be caught, even if it returns to this place, it won't intrude on the village again for a while.

Li Chengqian took the crown prince to clear the beasts, and his archery skills improved by leaps and bounds, while the emperor received the prince's letter and was overjoyed.

"Queen, look, this kid is very bad, he actually thought about sending Helu back to the Western Turks, and explained the benefits of sending Helu back from the composition of the Western Turks and the direction of their future evolution. Hehe, those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, although he is only twelve years old, he can already see his wisdom, this kid is naturally suitable to be an emperor. ”

When it comes to the Western Turks, the eldest grandson is reluctant to talk about it in detail. But when it comes to her son, she can still answer: "What you said is not right, according to the concubine, this guy is more suitable to be a businessman." At the beginning, Liuli deceived all the people in the world, and many people are still complaining. Through the auction of the glaze, his auction hall suddenly attracted the attention of the world, many wealthy businessmen from other places, after arriving in Chang'an, it is essential to go to the auction to see it, and take two auction items back to show off.

The day before yesterday, the old princess had a big birthday, and the concubine showed his hairpin and perfume, which attracted the attention of those women. As a result, today, the auction hall has changed blood from top to bottom, and all the servants have been replaced by maids, and even the auctioneer is a woman. In this way, even women can participate in the auction. ”

Hearing what the queen said, Li Shimin immediately smiled: "Cheng Qian doesn't buy the store, but uses the auction house to auction, presumably the price of these two things will not be too low." ”

The eldest grandson laughed and said: "That's natural, the concubine sent Ziyan to see the hairpin of the diamond, and the slogan he played was 'Diamond is eternal, one will be passed on forever', I heard that this thing is harder than ordinary jade, and it can't be easily damaged, so those women went crazy." As for the perfume, I don't know what he thinks, it's not a bottle of sale, but a few kinds of packaging, flowers blooming in spring, summer and autumn, one style in each season, and each is limited to one set, and the rest of the single bottles sold will be one less flavor. The auction response of a single bottle is mediocre, but the auction of the set has been pinched up in order to be auctioned. ”

There is no need to listen to the price, just listen to the queen's description, Li Shimin knows that there will be many wives in charge who will be beaten by their husbands tonight.

Listening to these interesting facts once in a while is one of his few leisures.

After changing his mood, he made up his mind to pick up Wei Zheng's recital.

After reading the letter, the good mood just now is exhausted.

Indignantly, he threw Wei Zheng's recital aside, and he was really full before he ordered the hundred officials to play the matter. Originally, he harvested a few sycophant songs, and he was happy in his heart, but he was crushed by Wei Zheng's "Ming Jun often hears the words of his courtiers, but does not hear slander".

Special mother, Lao Tzu should be conscientious as an emperor, and he is angry to death by you Wei Zheng every day, can't you read two sycophantic articles to soothe your mood? I won't give them a promotion reward, as for pointing it out directly?

The empress, who was doing embroidery, smiled when she saw the emperor's reaction.

The emperor would not be so angry when he was an ordinary minister, but as soon as he arrived at Wei Zheng, as long as he saw the name "Wei Zheng", he was angry. However, under the rule of Ming Jun, there will be courtiers like Wei Zheng, and it is a good thing to get angry occasionally.

Throwing Wei Zheng's recital aside, after thinking for a while, he could only tell Li Jian to pick it up.

Although Wei Zheng's words were sharp, they still made sense. Now that the Tang Dynasty is in ruins, after the commercial restrictions on Xungui are opened, the tax revenue has risen a lot. The border is stable, and the arrival of the prosperous era can be expected. The more times like this, the more we must guard against arrogance and rashness, if you read too many sycophancy articles, maybe you will really let yourself sink into the "great joy".

There are still a lot of folds that have not been processed, and he took out the next one, just read it, and Li Shimin said to Li Jian: "Quickly announce that Chang He will enter the palace to meet you!" ”

The emperor was so anxious to summon an official to the palace for an audience, but Li Jian did not dare to delay the big matter, and immediately went to Xuan Changhe.

Now Chang He is the commander of the forbidden army of the palace, and he is not far away, so it didn't take long to go to the Liangyi Hall to meet him.

"Chang He, you don't know how to read, I still know, but your twists and turns, the handwriting is neat, not to say, the twenty articles you say, all of them are the way, compared to Wei Zheng's twists and turns, it is more practical, and it also cuts the key points of the Chinese Dynasty. Surely you didn't write it, tell me, who wrote this letter? ”

As soon as Chang He's feet were weak, he almost knelt down, and the emperor ordered all civil and military officials, but anyone who has the power to play must write and say things, isn't it embarrassing for him to be a rough man? So I had to ask the doorman to write for me. I thought it would be good to fool the past, who would have thought that this bastard would be so praised by the emperor.

Wait a minute? Praise?

With a plan, Chang He immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is a guest under the minister's door, named Ma Zhou, who is quite literary and insightful, and the minister wanted to introduce him to the court, but he was soft-spoken, afraid of ruining this person's future." When His Majesty ordered the writing to say things, Weichen dared to ask him to ghostwrite. Now, judging from His Majesty's reaction, this man is indeed a great talent. Therefore, please Your Majesty, do not let such virtuous people be subservient to the door of Weichen again! As for the ghostwriting of the fold, Wechen is willing to accept the punishment. ”

After listening to Chang He's words, Li Shimin sighed and said earnestly: "Although I have reopened the imperial examination, most of the people who take the examination are still the sons of nobles. Chang He, it is a good thing to recommend talents for the country, I will not punish you, Li Jian, I will give Chang He three hundred pieces of brocade. ”

Hearing the emperor's verdict, Chang He finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Chang He, you go back and bring your guests into the palace, I plan to meet this virtuous man!"

Chang He immediately took the order and left.

Watching Chang He leave, Li Shimin sighed.

Recommendation, in the end, has its drawbacks. After a long time, even if the wealthy families such as the five surnames are defeated, the power of the imperial court will be divided by the emerging nobles, thus forming the "five surnames" and "ten surnames" of the next generation. When there is a matter of not knowing the book and showing filial piety and living separately, it will really be cold and innocent, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken.

The imperial examination must be expanded! Ma Zhou is such an obvious talent, he can't go into the wilderness! Looking at all dynasties in history, talents have always existed, and the reason why many ministers and good generals in the early days of the dynasty were always corrupt officials in the later period was because of the erosion of the powerful.

The emperor's gaze involuntarily looked in the direction of Weishui, where there seemed to be an academy that taught the children of the Han family....

It took four days for the prince to finally clean up the wild beasts in the mountains near the village. In the gratitude of the people, the prince himself left with a partial intact fur.

Winter fur is the target of hunting, and if the fur is intact and well cooked by the craftsman, it can easily be sold for a high price.

As for getting the tailor who will be the overseer to do it, turning the fur into hats, shoulders, bags and the like, hehe....

The team returned with a full load, and in the military camp led by the prince himself, each person was paid military salaries before disbanding.

"Your Royal Highness, why does the crown prince personally lead the military salary?"

Seeing that the soldiers led by the prince himself didn't seem surprised, Feng Ang couldn't help but ask.

"Gong Feng, the crown prince is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, how to formulate the system, that is his own business. Although I don't know what other places are like, the prince's pro-rate rate is paid by the military. As for the matter that Du Ruhui threw over, they still went on a killing spree at the end of the year, and they were frozen in the cold wind for several days, so there would naturally be a reward. If the military department doesn't send it, then I'll send it. ”

Feng Ang calculated, two thousand people, ten yuan per person, adding up to 20,000 yuan. Coupled with the 20,000 guan of his own 2,000 people, he casually took out 40,000 guan, but he found that the prince did not look like he was in a bit of pain. It is said that the prince is rich, and today he has seen it.

The large army was dismissed, but there were still 500 people as escorts to escort the prince back to Chang'an.

When he arrived at the gate of Chang'an, Feng Ang left his own manpower and personally went to the city gate to explain the reason.

Chang'an City is heavily defended, 2,000 people can't enter and exit casually, and seeing such a large team approaching from a distance, the city gate has been closed, and you need to explain the situation before you can enter the city.

Feng Ang went to identify himself, Li Chengqian didn't need to show his identity, and a large number of people who looked like housekeepers appeared in front of the horse.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the steward of the old slave Hejian Palace, the princess ordered the old slave to wait for you here, and ask when the perfume will be made new?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave is the housekeeper of the Liang State Mansion, and the lady ordered the old slave to ask you, can the diamond hairpin have a more brilliant style? The words of the old gold in the auction house are really not credible! ”

....

Needless to say, just look at the reactions of these people to know that the women's auction must be a big sale.

Zhang Yun was very dissatisfied, and he was about to step forward to drive away these sluts with a horsewhip, daring to block the prince's trip, and he was impatient.

Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped, this is the future big financier, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, the housewife behind them, but it is an important pillar of the women's auction in the future.

"Okay, okay, all quiet!"

After making the housekeepers in front of the team shut up, Li Chengqian said: "Perfume making is not easy, it's winter, how can there be so many flowers that can be extracted?" It can only be made slowly after the spring flowers bloom. However, the full style will not be sold until next winter. As for hairpins, there are no good diamonds for the time being, and the defective auction house will not sell them, so let's wait a while. ”

Hearing this result, everyone's faces couldn't help but turn gloomy.

Although they were beaten, the housewives of each family still remembered these two things, and the auction house was out of stock, and they would only be scolded when the time came.

However, although the perfume hairpin is out of stock, Lone went out of the city for winter hunting this time, but he got a lot of good fur. When the furs are finished product, I'll send you a message. Rest assured, Lone will still ask the top master of the prison to make it! ”
