Liu Laosan in the thatched hut was shocked, and the wine woke up suddenly.

He subconsciously wanted to go out of the back door.

thought that his mother-in-law and children were still here, and then his face turned miserable.

"This ...... This ......"

Li Shimin was full of anger, he had already stood up and glanced at Zhang Qian: "Call Cheng Yanjin's bastard in." ”

Zhang Qian hurriedly went out, and after a while, Cheng Biting Jin was dressed in armor, and the bright light armor on his body emitted a dazzling white light under the faint candlelight in the room.

He walked directly to Li Shimin, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, minister...... Coming late, the sin of ten thousand deaths. ”

Your Majesty......

Liu Laosan on the side suddenly felt that he was cold.

There seems to be only one person in the world who is called Your Majesty......

This...... It's not like a joke.

Because Cheng bites Jin's armor, he knows that he is a general at a glance, and this outfit must be at least dozens of times, and if he doesn't eat or drink, he won't be able to earn it for a few years.

Li Shimin's good mood all night seemed to disappear all at once, and he pulled his face and said, "What are you doing here?" Did you come? ”

Cheng Yanjin thought to himself, do you think I want to come? If I hadn't come here at this time, I would still be happily watching the price on the exchange.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has been missing for several days, and the queen mother is anxious, and the special ministers come to greet her." ”

Hearing the words Queen Mother, Li Shimin's face looked a little better.

He sighed and sighed, "See, you are waiting outside, and I will come later." ”

Cheng Biting Jin responded and hurried away.

As soon as he left this way, Liu Laosan, who was in shock, was already horribly pale: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Li Shimin smiled at him: "You just said, what do you want to say to me?" ”

"No...... Can't. Liu Laosan trembled, he didn't even dare to look directly at Li Shimin, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Caomin...... The grass people didn't say anything wrong, the grass people died, where did they think of it...... You are the emperor, if the grass people just said something wrong, Your Majesty must not take it to heart......"

This Liu Laosan's woman was also frightened, and she was also busy: "Spare your life." ”

Li Shimin sighed again, and said helplessly: "I am not the emperor, you can still confide the truth with me, and I am the emperor, so no one can be unrestrained, the so-called lonely family, that's it." You need not be afraid, you have not said anything wrong, but I am ...... After listening to your words, I was quite inspired, although you are ordinary people, you are people who know how to repay your kindness. ”

Liu Laosan was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and after listening to Li Shimin's words, he nodded again and again in shock: "Yes, yes......"

Li Shimin immediately said: "I came here, but I was stingy, and I only brought a few steamed cakes, but ...... When I see that your life is better, my heart is relieved, live a good life, you do your work, what about me...... I have to go back and do what I should do, today's wine, this chicken, I ate it, you Liu Laosan, haven't you always wanted to taste the stuffy donkey? Ordinary people's homes, and still know how to usher in the gift of sending, there is a coming, after a few days, I let people send a few jars of stuffed donkeys. ”

When Liu Laosan heard this, he hurriedly pecked the rice and nodded.

Li Shimin saw that he seemed to want to speak and stopped, stared at him and said, "What, what do you want to say?" ”

Liu Laosan hurriedly said: "No...... Didn't think about it...... Didn't think about anything. ”

Li Shimin said: "Yes, if you think about it, this is the crime of bullying the king." ”

Liu Laosan was startled again, and immediately said: "I think about it, the grass people are thinking, the emperor is so good, he has wine to drink every day." ”

"Hahaha......" Li Shimin laughed, and then stepped away.

Chen Zhengtai and the others also stood up, but Chen Zhengtai was a few steps slower than the others, patted Liu Laosan on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I am the Chen Jungong you said, come...... Here's an IOU, take it. ”

After stuffing an IOU, he quickly chased it out.

When Li Shimin got out of the thatched hut, he saw that outside the thatched hut, someone had already prepared a car.

He knew that if he continued to stay here, he would disturb the people, so he hurriedly got into the car, took the ministers, and drove back to the palace.

Sitting in the car, Li Shimin's mood was quite good, but the inferior rice wine now has a bit of stamina, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, this Chen Zhengtai is a business talent, could it be ...... I want to lead this world to a path that no one has done before?

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, these dynasties have experienced many prosperous times, but Li Shimin knows it...... In this prosperous world, there are still people like Liu Laosan everywhere!

And Chen Zhengtai ...... It seems that a new road has been opened, is this road going to work? How much is at stake? In the past, there were contradictions, and once you embark on such a road, there should also be new contradictions.

With the strength of wine, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

…………

When Li Shimin and the others left, Liu Laosan spit out a mouthful as if he had returned to his soul.

So remembering what he was holding in his hand, he put the IOU under the oil lamp, and looked down to see that it was marked with the words Shiguan.

For a moment, he was so excited that his hands were trembling, ten times...... This is a lot of money, I have never seen such a big amount of money in my life, Chen Jungong...... Gonghou Wandai is really a good man.

No, he also drank with the emperor.

"Three catties, three catties ......"

Liu Laosan's eyebrows fluttered all of a sudden, and the whole person seemed to be a little brighter than the lights in this room.

The three catties on the side swished, and when they arrived at Fang Cai's wine table, they picked up the leftover scraps on the table and ate them happily.

"Hey, you know how to eat, you don't know ......"

"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry." Sanjin gnawed on the chicken neck in his mouth, with a satisfied face, and said confidently.

Liu Laosan shook his head, what he was thinking about now was, if he told someone what happened tonight, would anyone believe it?

…………

Erpigou gradually became lively, after all...... There are more and more people who come to the exchange, and there are many merchants and nobles, so they always have to rest, so they ...... It was inevitable that there would be food and lodging, and some people were willing to buy a piece of land here and build an inn.

This inn is different from the previous inns, because there is a lot of money invested, after all...... Those who will be able to stay here in the future are the best customers of Datang.

And that's not all...... Many merchants have come here to buy land, some want to make tea shops, and some want to get carts and horses.

The third uncle was so happy that he felt like never before, and the price of this land increased several times on the same day.

He is like a fish in water in this exchange, but he instructed the Chen family, who are running errands for him, not to touch the stock market.

There is nothing wrong with opening the exchange by our Chen family, but you can't end the market, this thing comes in too fast, once you indulge in it, you will have to wear out people's will.

As for the exchange not far away, there is the military camp of the Hussar Mansion, the location is just right, on the one hand, there will be no noisy drill to the exchange, on the other hand, there are many dignitaries and merchants here, with the military camp here, they can rest assured.

After all...... What is involved here is a large amount of business, which will inevitably attract some small people.

There are more than fifty recruits, and now everyone is wearing chain mail, and all of them are good horses, in addition to other swords, guns, swords, halberds, and even bows and crossbows.

What Su Lie has to do is to train these soldiers every day, from morning to night, and never rest.

Chen Zhengtai naturally often brings that Xue Rengui over, now that everyone has become brothers, naturally there is not too much politeness, as soon as he entered the camp, he saw fifty soldiers, all of them strong, and now they are all riding on horses, running in groups on the racecourse.

Su Lie stepped forward and said, "Eldest brother, third brother, you can be counted as coming, there is one thing ......"

"Money?" Chen Zhengtai interrupted him.

"The drill is more Fermat......" Su Lie explained cautiously.

"Choose another hundred and fifty good horses tomorrow, but run for me, don't save me money, saving money is to look down on me Chen Zhengtai, my own brother, you ask about money and are still so twisted and pinched, do you look down on me as a brother?"

Su Lie, who was once again looked at with disdain by Chen Zhengtai: "......"

"Then again, this horse is so good, why is it Ferma?" Chen Zhengtai looked suspicious.

"Of course." Su Lie hadn't spoken yet, but Xue Rengui behind him said excitedly: "Big brother don't know, this horse rides all day long, and the horse's hooves are not wearable, after a long time, naturally the horse's hooves will wear out, if the horse loses its hooves, it will be regarded as a cost, and it will be difficult to run." ”

Horseshoe...... Wear and tear.

Chen Zhengtai felt that this guy was teasing himself: "You don't put horseshoes on the horse's hooves?" ”

Su Lie and Xue Rengui both looked at Chen Zhengtai strangely.

Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth and said: "It's no wonder, in this way, it's really Fermat, oops, my poor horse." ”

Chen Zhengtai was heartbroken, even if he had more horses, he was not so bad.

It seems that in this era, there is really no habit of giving horses horseshoe in the Central Plains, at least for now, it seems that Su Lie and Xue Rengui don't know anything about horseshoe.

The horse's hooves are made up of two layers, the one that touches the ground is a layer of hard keratin about two to three centimeters thick, and the upper layer is living keratin.

When the horse's hooves come into contact with the ground, they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of stagnant water, and once they fall off, it means that the horse is no longer difficult to ride.

The use of horseshoes not only protects the horseshoe, but also makes the horse's hooves grip the ground more firmly, which is beneficial for riding and driving.

During the Han Dynasty, in order to establish a cavalry to fight with the Huns, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was almost a smashing pot and selling iron, and the wealth accumulated from the rule of Wenjing was squandered at once during the period of Emperor Wu, even so, war horses still became a scarce commodity.

The reason for this is that the attrition rate of war horses is very fast, in order to maintain a sufficient scale of cavalry, it is necessary to constantly replenish more new horses, cavalry must be often drilled, to fight, the loss of war horses has reached an astonishing level.

Until now...... This situation has not changed, so in Datang, the formation of cavalry is a very luxurious thing, and a big reason for this lies in this.
