Yang Zhao's face has always been relatively thick, as long as this industry can bring him a steady stream of money, it will be enough, as for those old pedants who sarcastically mock him when they meet, he never cares. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In his Yang Zhao's worldview, he can't stand the unbearable cynicism of ordinary people, how can he achieve great things, take his own path to wealth, and let others say go!

With the improvement of transportation, Hushubao can be easily sold all over the country, and this thing is a consumable that is used every month, so the demand is always extremely strong.

The previous ten sets of production lines can no longer meet the needs of the market, and during the sales period, a lot of money was made, so Yang Zhao decided to expand production capacity to earn more money.

"Li Shilang, are you busy?"

Yang Zhao entered Ang Lee's office with a smile, looked left and right, and sat down gently.

"Yang joins the army, you've been very busy lately! How do you have time to come. ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Yang Zhao has to devote himself to two things every day, not only to share his worries for Li Longji and do his own errands, but also to manage all kinds of things in the Shubao Workshop, fortunately, Yang Yurou helps him manage it, otherwise, he will really be tired to death.

"Li Shilang, I came here to discuss with you the matter of buying ten more sets of machines."

Yang Zhao was not polite, and directly made a request.

"What's the matter, this Shubao industry is very profitable! Trust me, you can't go wrong. ”

Ang Lee laughed.

"Hey, hey! What Li Shilang said is that it has only been a few months, and the cost of the previous machinery has not only been recovered, but also earned a lot, but it is too tiring to manage such a large industry, and the third sister is tired and has lost weight. ”

Yang Zhao said with a smile.

"Haha! How can there be a business that is not tired, and it is only when you are tired that you are fulfilling! Ten sets of machines, one hundred and fifty gold. ”

Li An said.

"Li Shilang, why has the price increased, wasn't it still a hundred gold last time?"

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, feeling that Li An was too dark, and he had raised the price of machinery by fifty percent in just a few months, which was too unkind.

"The machine has been upgraded, this time the machine is not the same model as the machine you are using, this is a brand new machine, the production efficiency is twice that of the previous machine, and it is less likely to be damaged, the price is higher, but it is more cost-effective."

Li An hurriedly explained.

He worked so hard to update the machinery, not to please Yang Zhao, but to promote the health of Datang women, so that Hushubao can be popularized faster, starting with aristocratic women, and gradually popularized to civilian families, and the better way to popularize is undoubtedly higher manufacturing efficiency and lower cost, so it is imperative to update equipment.

"Twice the efficiency, that's really more cost-effective than the previous machine, Li Shilang, this is one hundred gold, and the remaining fifty gold will be delivered early tomorrow morning, and there will be ten sets of new machines."

Yang Zhao paid the deposit very happily and ran back happily.

After receiving the deposit, it was natural to start working, and Li An immediately ordered to build a new batch of ten sets of Shubao production lines to be handed over to Yang Zhao as soon as possible.

In September, an incident occurred in the northeast that annoyed Li An, An Lushan made excuses at will for his own selfishness, and raided the Xi and Khitan tribes, plundered a large number of people and wealth, and killed many civilians.

And the one who took charge of this raid mission actually had the newly formed Fanyang Artillery Brigade, that is to say, the reason why An Lushan's raid operation could achieve such great results was entirely because of the existence of the Fanyang Artillery Brigade, otherwise, he would not have been so smooth.

"This bastard, he is so shameless, he gave him an artillery unit for defense, and he actually provoked an incident with such a low-level excuse."

Li An scolded in annoyance.

"Li Shilang, the matter has happened, it is futile for you to be angry, and you also feel that there is a problem here, but anyway, the loss is Liangfan, which is not necessarily a bad thing for my Datang."

Guo Yang, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the ironclad artillery car, opened his mouth to persuade him.

After he heard this, he immediately came over to report to Li An.

"How is the princess, how are Princess Jingle and Princess Yifang?"

Li An asked with great concern, if you follow the trajectory of history, at this moment, Li Huaijie and Li Yanpet should have killed the two princesses and rebelled together.

"An Lushan said in the battle report that the two princesses had been killed, and he led the main army to attack, annihilating the main forces of the two Tibetan soldiers and horses, and avenging the princess."

Guo Yan said loudly.

"What, the princess was killed? This is all caused by An Lushan, after Your Majesty knew about this matter, what was his reaction? ”

Li An was furious and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty heard that the two princesses were killed, of course he was a little angry, but when he heard that An Lushan broke the two and avenged the princess, he was very happy, and praised An Lushan, and also issued a decree to reward An Lushan."

Guo Yan said truthfully.

"It's not my own daughter! It's just a little angry and it's over, it's really sad that a woman was born in the emperor's family. ”

Li An sighed and ordered loudly: "Lvshuai Guo, you prepare immediately, lead the first brigade of ironclad artillery cars early tomorrow morning, take the railway to Luoyang, and take the nearest road to Liangfan." ”

"Li Shilang, why is this? Why did you suddenly let us travel to Liangbo? ”

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Li An was going to do.

Li An calmly analyzed: "Guo Lushuai, my sister is in Liangbo, if she is still alive, it is very likely that she will take the nearest road to Chang'an City, and the people of Liangfan, if you want to enter Beijing to explain the truth, you will also take this road, I let you lead the ironclad artillery brigade to go, just to meet them and prevent An Lushan's soldiers and horses from being wiped out." ”

"Li Shilang, what you said makes sense, but the ironclad artillery brigade under the command of the humble post belongs directly to Your Majesty, and without Your Majesty's will, you can't leave the capital casually, otherwise, it will be a capital crime."

Guo Yan hurriedly reminded.

"Lvshuai Guo rest assured, this official will enter the palace to face the saint, and the holy decree of mobilization will be issued soon, go back and prepare first!"

Li An said and got into the carriage and walked towards Daming Palace.

Guo Yang has always trusted Ang Li and immediately went back to prepare everything.

After Li An entered the palace, he did not see the emperor immediately, because the emperor was accompanying Yang Yuhuan and the three sisters of the Yang family, and the conversation was on the rise, and the eunuch who passed the message did not dare to disturb, so he had to stand aside temporarily.

"Huh! Saburo also thinks that Hushubao was invented by his cousin. ”

Yang Yuhuan hid his face and smiled.

Somehow, they talked to the emperor, and unconsciously talked about Hu Shubao, Li Longji not only heard about Hu Shubao, but also received a lot of twists and turns, all of which impeached Yang Zhao, saying that people like Yang Zhao are proud of inventing women's menstrual things, are not doing their jobs, are not worthy of being officials, and should be immediately demoted to commoners.

Of course, in order to take care of Yang Yuhuan's face, Li Longji did not do what he said, after all, his overall impression of Yang Zhao was still very good, and Yang Zhao could not be dismissed from his official status because of this trivial matter.

"What's the matter, this Hushu Bao wasn't invented by Yang Zhao?"

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Could it be Li Shilang?" ”

"Haha! Your Majesty guessed correctly, it was Li Shilang, who gave up Hushubao's property to her cousin, and even the name Hushubao was given by Li Shilang himself, saying that it was a little baby who protects women and makes women comfortable. ”

Yang Yurou hurriedly responded with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Li Longji looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "I should have thought that it was Li Shilang, he is the real inventor of my Tang Dynasty, but he didn't do this industry himself, but gave it to Yang Zhao, hehe!" Interesting. ”

Actually, what Li Longji means is that Yang Zhao has helped Li An bear too much infamy, and the twists and turns of impeaching Yang Zhao should have impeached Li An, but few people know that Hu Shubao was invented by Li An.

"Your Majesty, this Li Shilang is a caring person, if it weren't for the already married match, the slave family really wanted to marry him."

Yang Yurou has always been bold, even in front of the emperor, she has no fear, what she says is from her heart, a handsome young man like Ang Lee, what woman doesn't like it?

Li Longji didn't take it seriously, smiled, and said, "I'm also very curious, how could Li Shilang think of inventing this thing?" I really wanted to ask him in person. ”

"Everyone, Li Shilang is outside the hall."

The little eunuch, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the time was very ripe, so he hurriedly spoke.

"You have been standing for so long, Li Shilang is here, why didn't you say it earlier, you should be punished."

Yang Yurou reprimanded the little eunuch very presumptuously, and turned around and threw a wink at Li Longji.

Li Longji has been in the palace for too long, and all he sees are well-behaved palace people, and he has long been tired of it, and occasionally he can see bold and presumptuous people, which is also a different feeling, so he is not the slightest angry.

"Weichen see Your Majesty, see Guifei Niangniang."

Li An saluted very politely, and when he looked up, he found that Yang Yurou was throwing flattering eyes at him.

"Li Shilang, Your Majesty wants to ask you, how did you come up with the idea of inventing Hushu Bao."

Before the emperor could speak, Yang Yurou began to ask first, making it unclear who was the real master here.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is here today because he has something important to report to His Majesty."

Li An did not answer Yang Yurou's question, of course, the emperor didn't really want to know, after all, this kind of thing is a little unacceptable, and it will be embarrassing for Li An to answer.

"Li Shilang has something important, but it doesn't hurt to say it, there are no outsiders here."

Li Longji asked.

"Your Majesty, when Weichen heard that the two Tibetans rebelled and killed the princess, he felt very angry in his heart, the Tang Dynasty is the first powerful country in the world, how can he allow barbarians to spread wild."

Li An did not answer directly, but followed Li Longji's mind and said something irrelevant first.

"I kindly canonized the two Tibetans, and went to the two princesses to make peace with the two princesses, Li Huaijie and Li Yanzhong, the two thieves, actually dared to kill the princess and rebel, fortunately, Fan Yang has an artillery unit formed by Li Shilang, which has defeated the main force of the two princesses, which can be regarded as avenging the two princesses."

Li Longji opened his mouth to answer.

"Your Majesty, Weichen suggests sending the Ironclad Artillery Brigade to Liangfu, first, to test the long-range mobility of the Ironclad Artillery Brigade and find out how to improve it, and secondly, to deter the northern departments and make them dare not be enemies of the Tang Dynasty again."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to state his purpose.

"Well, Li Shilang is reasonable, the ironclad artillery brigade has been stuck in the capital all day, it's time to go out for a walk, pass the decree, let the ironclad artillery brigade go to the north."

Li Longji didn't think about it, and directly issued the holy decree.

Subsequently, Ang Lee was about to leave, but Yang Yurou did not give up, and asked many questions in a row, wasting a lot of Ang Lee's time.

After returning to the courtyard, Li An took out the topographic map of the Tang Dynasty and began to study it carefully, he was thinking about the route, the route that Li Yaer must take once he goes to the capital.

Since Guo Yan didn't know Li Ya'er, Li An immediately found Li Feiyu and Zhang Erniu, and secretly transferred the two to the ironclad artillery brigade under the pretext of inspecting the ironclad artillery brigade and promoting each other's learning, and went north with Guo Yang's team.

Early the next morning, Guo Yan's team was already ready at the Chang'an City Railway Station, with all the ironclad artillery cars and armored command vehicles in place, as well as more than 100 transport trucks and maintenance vehicles accompanying the operation, a total of four trains.

"Feiyu, Erniu, take this map, the red dots marked here are very likely to be the only way for Ya'er to come back, you must scatter and arrange them at these red dots, as long as the ironclad gun car appears, Ya'er should go to you, and when the time comes, you have to take him back."

Ang Lee handed the map to the two of them and whispered.

"Don't worry, big brother, we will definitely bring the buds back."

Li Feiyu took the map, got into the car with Zhang Erniu, and joined Guo Yang's team.

Watching the four trains drive away in turn, Li An frowned, during the court meeting, the four hundred artillery exercises, that scene is powerful enough, is it not enough to deter Li Huaijie and Li Yanzhong, these two thieves, they still have the courage to kill the princess, are they crazy or don't want to live, or this is simply An Lushan's conspiracy.

Everything will have to wait for Guo Yang's team to enter the north to figure out, and now, all the news he got comes from An Lushan's words, which may not be true, maybe the two princesses are still alive.

Therefore, the most important task of Guo Yang's team to go to the north is to find out the situation in the north and find out what happened in the two regions truthfully, rather than just listening to An Lushan's words.

Four trains only took half a day to arrive at Luoyang City Railway Station, Guo Yang led his soldiers and horses, directly overnight to Luokou direction, and prepared to rest in the direction of Luokou overnight, after dawn on the second day, take Luokou's transport ship to the north bank of the Yellow River, and continue to the north, to complete the important task assigned by Li An.

There are only ten ships that can be used to transport ironclad artillery cars in the direction of Luokou, and all the vehicles under Guo Yang's command are nearly two hundred, so it needs to be transported back and forth twenty times, that is, a whole day.
