Tonight's night is very dark, dark clouds cover the night sky of Chang'an, it is raining lightly at night, and an inn is sitting in the room looking at the figure outside the house, and listening to what the other party says.

"My master has already discussed with Li Zheng, the prince of Jingyang County, that tomorrow he will send the grain outside Chang'an City, and everything will be in accordance with the old rules."

Sitting in the dark room, staring at the figure with an oil lamp outside the door, I wanted to rush up and open the door to see who the other party was.

"Don't try to open the door, you'll die when you open it."

Xiangxin retracted his steps and said in a low voice: "The master can actually buy the grain in Li Zheng's hand." ”

The other party said in a low voice: "The master is naturally powerful, as long as you help the master get things done, he will give you the identity of a good family." ”

I don't care about my identity, but I care more about who the person who bought me is.

The other party stuffed a letter through the crack in the door, and whispered: "This is given to you by the master, you can do what is in the letter." ”

Outside the door where the figure had left, he breathed the air in the room for a moment before picking up the letter.

Now that Chang'an is investigating very strictly, the DPRK and China have become vigilant.

Of course, he knew that what he was doing was a headless deal

On the second day, it was just dawn.

Walking on Chang'an Zhuque Street, I saw the notice posted at the entrance of Dali Temple.

It is a felony to sell weapons, and the notice of Dali Temple has written a large article, which is nothing more than saying that those who inspect the equipment have a heavy reward.

Xu Jingzong was eating a piece of bread and staring at the other end of the street.

Until Chengxin left the gate of Dali Temple, Xu Jingzong also lowered his head and ate his cake.

He is not afraid to enter Dali Temple with satisfaction, and now he doesn't know anything.

Even if you go to Dali Temple, you can't find anything.

Satisfaction still came to the outside of Chang'an City and saw the people carrying the grain coming.

Turned on his horse and silently followed the team.

This is the second time I've shipped something out of customs.

It's not much different from the previous one.

It seems that it is the last batch of people, and none of them have changed.

The caravan headed towards Long's right.

These people do not stop to deliver their belongings except for the necessary rest and sleep.

Mostly unable to speak, very silent.

I also try to talk to these people, and no matter how much I ask them, they don't pay attention to themselves.

If it weren't for the pass, they would have spoken to the defenders, and they suspected that these people were fools.

The letter sent last night was in his bosom.

Once again, I was sure that the person who could do these transactions must be big people, and even the grain in the hands of Li Zheng, the prince of Jingyang County, could be bought.

Who is Li Zheng?

The youngest county duke in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

At the age of twelve, he made the Jingyang Order, and when he was thirteen years old, he was already a county marquis.

Now he has become a county prince.

And Li Zheng has a very strange temper and will not come into contact with ordinary people.

It is said that none of the powerful people in the DPRK and China can see Li Zheng.

Li Zheng is young, although he is not a very popular minister, but the speed of this increase in official status is unimaginable to ordinary people.

After walking for a few days to the boundary of Longyou, it was smooth until I reached the outside of the pass, and it was still the same as usual, and I was satisfied with the words to the people on both sides.

Translate Guanzhong dialect into Tibetan dialect, translate Tibetan dialect into Guanzhong dialect, and inform both parties.

One hand to pay and one hand to deliver, very smooth.

Riding his horse satisfactorily, he followed these Tibetans all the way into the territory of Tibet.

Looking at the letter in his hand, it was something that his master had asked him to do.

There is a step-by-step plan written on it, and the meritorious service has won the trust of Lu Dongzan or Songtsen Gampo, and it is clear how much surplus there is in the treasury of the current Tubo Prefecture.

It took half a month to walk to the camp in Tibet.

It's still the same, after arriving here, the Tibetan people don't treat themselves very well.

One back and forth or two trips, Xiangxin has become accustomed to this kind of thing.

Jingyang

At this moment, there are still four months before Li Zheng's wedding.

The number of times Li Lizhi can come to Jingyang is also getting less and less.

The guards in the palace are also becoming more and more strict.

Li Lizhi complained in her mouth, still eating the sugar gourd on the side, and the little tiger teeth were gritted fiercely.

"This stuff is delicious, how do you make it?" Li Li asked curiously.

"This thing is called a rock sugar gourd, and the method is also very simple, wrap the hawthorn in syrup and it's done."

Li Lizhi nodded, it was indeed very simple.

I felt like I was asking an inconsequential word.

Seeing that Li Zheng had been writing and drawing on a map, Li Lizhi asked again, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm counting minerals."

"Minerals?"

"That's right, the iron ore in Guanzhong is not inexhaustible, these are all family funds, and they can't be used indiscriminately."

Li Lizhi nodded and said: "This princess knows that it is said that at that time, Emperor Yang of Sui was desperate to build iron tools to fight, and hollowed out several mountains. ”

Ancient mining methods were simple and the utilization rate was very low.

In fact, as long as the technology of steel smelting is improved, the characteristics of steel can be brought into better play.

Moreover, the iron is lost when it is used up, waiting for it to rust, and it is a waste if it cannot be reused.

The secondary use of steel requires the use of steelmaking furnaces, which are very difficult things to do.

It's hard to do with today's technology.

But I don't want to miss this thing.

After Wei Chigong brought those soldiers, he could register them and enter the Jingyang household registration.

It has an area of 14,600 acres and a population of 19,300 people.

New Mission: Population increased to 30,000.

Reward: Library Phase 3.

The three stages of the library should have more important technologies for later generations.

There are many valuable books in the second phase of the library.

But there aren't many books on industry.

Li Zheng said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, whether General Wei Chigong told His Majesty about giving me soldiers has passed for almost a month, and there is no news yet. ”

Li Lizhi turned her head a little stubbornly while eating the sugar gourd, "You Li Zheng will also be anxious about such a trivial matter?" ”

"Of course I'm in a hurry." Li was drinking tea, and almost said that he still had thousands of tons of iron ore to use.

Li Lizhi ate the sugar gourd and said, "Then why aren't you anxious about our marriage." ”

"I can't rush this."

Li Lizhi stared at Li Zheng's expression and said, "You regret not wanting to marry me, besides, I'm not young now." ”

Li Zheng glanced at Li Lizhi's chest and smiled disdainfully, "It's still so small." ”

"You!"

Li Lizhi wanted to pick up the sugar gourd and throw it at Li Zheng, but felt that it was a bit of a waste to throw Li Zheng with such a delicious thing as the sugar gourd.

Biting down the sugar gourd, Li Lizhi seemed to have compromised, lowered her head and said: "There are several iron ores in Guanzhong, and it is indeed not inexhaustible as you said, if it is overexploited, one day those mountains will be hollowed out." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, did you say that your father did not agree to give me those soldiers?"
