Volume 2 Debt Repayment Chapter 127 Giving Money and Meat
Wang Xiao's place, Xiaojiu was locked up in the inn alone for five days, during which this person never appeared in front of anyone except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, and even his hut was pitch black, and he made the serious winemaking into a basement by him.
Wang Xiao was very satisfied with this, he used to hear people say that extraordinary people must do extraordinary things, but this time he has seen it, and he can stay in a room for five days without saying a word, which is definitely an extraordinary person.
Wang Xiao's busyness naturally did not affect the situation on Li Chengyang's side, and early this morning, Li Chengyang was dragged up from bed by Xiao'er.
"Young master, today is a big day, you can't stay in bed anymore, every time you sleep until three o'clock in the morning, you are not afraid of ginseng again" Xiao'er muttered while washing Li Chengyang.
rubbed his sleepy eyes, took a mouthful of salt water and rinsed his mouth, so that he could finally come to his senses.
"I don't have anything to do, the restaurant is on the right track, what can I do if I don't sleep, practice martial arts or study? Tell you secretly, no one in this world knows more than me, what's the use of doing so much, it's better to sleep."
Xiao'er put the basin away, took out a quick hand towel and wiped Li Chengyang's face carefully: "Old Master Li Gang has been back for a few days, and you haven't been to ask for peace since you met him, how bad is this."
"Teacher, don't go, he has his own things to do" Li Chengyang let the smile rub his face wildly, but he recalled the meeting with Li Gang in his mind:
"Master Li, why am I doing something wrong, have you heard the rumors these days? Am I guilty of even guarding a bridge? ”。
"Why do you come to ask me, don't you know it yourself?"
"It's because I know in my heart that I want to ask Master Li, is it true that this royal family can't have family affection."
"Be careful! Who says royal family doesn't have affection? As long as you don't get the line, you will get more affection than anyone else, the Emperor, the Empress, and Your Majesty, which is not a favor to you, have you ever said that they have a word of dissatisfaction with you? ”。
"So what is a thread? How do I confirm that line? ”。
"Lines? It's going to change, and it's not the same from year to year, but it's all the same, as long as you can guarantee that Your Majesty will always be stronger than you."
This was all Li Gang's words at that time, Li Chengyang heard it clearly, and it was really difficult to do it at that time.
The matter of the Quyuan plough and the waterwheel has not been promulgated for a long time, and the Quyuan plough in the Ministry of Industry has been piled up, but even the three words Quyuan plough have not been mentioned in the court.
I don't know how much headache Li Shimin will have about this matter, the people take food as the sky, and the thing that can increase grain production is definitely a bigger thing than the sky, anyone can offer this thing, except for Li Chengyang, even if the eldest grandson Wuji offers it, Li Shimin will slap it in the face.
But who let Li Chengyang do this, as long as Quyuan Plough is promoted and spread, Li Chengyang's name will follow wherever it goes, this is not an exaggeration, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sanctification.
But a prince became a saint at the age of twelve, what should Li Shimin do, what did he say not as effective as what his son said, so what's the use of him as an emperor? And this is only twelve years old, once you are older and have your own desires, will the palace become a mess at that time?
It's not terrible to have desires, the key is to have the ability to realize desires, and when Li Chengyang becomes an adult, he will say a word, and all the people in the world will obey, and he will overthrow him Li Shimin in minutes, and he will have no power to fight back, this is what Li Shimin is afraid of.
Li Chengyang can see Li Shimin's entanglement when he usually gets along, is the thing good? Well, there's nothing better than this. But this good thing is so hot that Li Shimin really doesn't know how to deal with it.
Recently, Li Chengyang has been constantly trying to find a way, there is no result in this matter, and it is the people who suffer in the end, and he doesn't want this credit, yes, don't want it!
He has to give up something, it doesn't matter what he does, he still has countless ways to become holy, but it takes some time, three crops of rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, steam engines, etc., etc., there are more, not worse than this.
When I go back, I will discuss with Li Shimin, and it is the king to get things done as soon as possible.
Today is not the time to do this, Xiao'er has prepared a pair of armor, which was specially made for Li Chengyang by Wu Li of the Ministry of Industry, and it is said that it uses high-quality materials from the Western Regions, which are invulnerable, and the only drawback is that it is a little heavier.
Isn't it steel, Li Chengyang looked at it and determined what the high-grade material was, the whole body steel armor was indeed a terrible thing now, but it was nothing in Li Chengyang's eyes.
"Xiao'er, you go to the restaurant to take care of it later, young master, I will get acquainted with those proud soldiers and fierce generals today" Li Chengyang finished dressing, took his Fang Tian painting halberd, and slowly walked out of the East Palace.
Today is the day when the prince Liuwei reported on the rate, after Wei Chi Jingde's inventory, a total of 11,000 people, all of whom were the top people carefully selected from the twelve guards, hundreds of generals and officials, large and small, were also warriors who could fight well, and they had unparalleled loyalty to Datang.
Li Chengyang walked on the road out of the city, sighing incessantly, what should he do next?
Without more than 10,000 people ago, it was the day that I was looking forward to day and night to come early, but when this day really came, it became twisted and pinched.
The prince's six guards rate, as mentioned above, are the prince's honor guard, they are responsible for the daily maintenance of the prince's mansion, some guards are responsible for patrolling, some guards are responsible for close security, and some are responsible for clearing the streets, and even those who hold signs.
But there is no special use for war, when the former prince Li Jiancheng went on the expedition, the prince Liuwei was responsible for guarding the East Palace, and lived a passable life every day, Li Shimin didn't even ask for the six guards, and directly took out the Xuanjia Army.
More than 10,000 men who have just come down from the battlefield asked them to do some cleaning and patrolling security work, and they may not see the enemy in their lives, Li Chengyang feels sorry for them.
This is the problem he is facing now, more than 10,000 men, from now on farewell to the battlefield, what will they think? And these are all the elites of each guard, if it is the kind of person who does nothing, it is okay, and the most daring and hard-working people are selected to be under the command of Li Chengyang, which is what it feels like.
Li Chengyang can already imagine what kind of scene he will face in a while, and he can imagine how more than 10,000 soldiers who have no way to be promoted will deal with him.
"What the hell are you going to do" Li Chengyang touched the Tiger King who had been around him, more than a month, the Tiger King has grown a lot, but it is still far from being able to ride, at least wait a year, today to bring the Tiger King out is the stable, no, the Tiger King's proposal, said that it is to let the Tiger King adapt to the big scene in advance, and when he really goes to the battlefield in the future, he will not be scared.
Passing by the restaurant, he stuffed the Tiger King into the carriage, and brought a few boxes of silver at the back door of the restaurant, totaling 15,000 taels, all on the carriage, and then got into the carriage and went out of the city.
Out of the city gate, first came to Chengjia Zhuangzi, where there are a thousand sheep sent by Jieli, all of which were fostered here, and asked the guards to call a few villagers to take away most of them, and the others were left to the people on Chengjia Zhuangzi as a reward for raising sheep.
The prince Liuwei rate was stationed at the edge of Weishui, and they originally undertook the task of cutting off Jieli's back road, but now Jieli has withdrawn, and it is estimated that now the vanguard troops have returned to the grassland, and they have withdrawn from the same place and stationed the bridge to reorganize the army.
From afar, Li Chengyang saw the banner waving by the Weishui River, and by noon, the boiling voices had already come out for nearly a mile.
As soon as the carriage and horse representing the identity of Prince Li Chengyang arrived, they were instantly silent.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince" Wei Chi Jingde took the lead and knelt down and gave Li Chengyang a big salute.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince" More than 10,000 people knelt down in turn with Wei Chi Jingde as the center, and the sound of salute even overshadowed the rushing river.
Li Chengyang stepped down from the carriage, came to Wei Chi, respectfully helped him up, and then also knelt down: "Uncle Wei Chi is well."
Wei Chi Jingde didn't have to salute Li Chengyang, but he did it, this is to establish prestige for Li Chengyang, with this kneeling, these more than 10,000 soldiers are ostensibly the prince's subordinates, as for what do you think in your heart? That still depends on Li Chengyang's means.
"Your Highness, say something?" Wei Chi Jingde raised his eyebrows vaguely at him, and pointed to the high platform on the side of the bridge.
This is a point platform, to put it bluntly, it is a high platform, it is convenient for people to stand up and show the soldiers, and what they say can also be heard clearly, otherwise they will stand on the ground and speak, and the voice will not wear far before it is gone, then it is not a point general, and any momentum will be consumed.
nodded gratefully, Li Chengyang really didn't expect this stubble, if it weren't for Wei Chi Jingde's experience, maybe he would really suffer a big loss today.
He turned back and brought down all the boxes of silver from the wagon, and ordered the guards to put them on their shoulders.
Fifteen thousand taels of silver, converted into the current catties, is 1,300 catties, plus Li Chengyang's armor and weapons, it is more than 1,600 catties, and when the last box of silver is placed on Li Chengyang's shoulders, Li Chengyang's feet have sunk deep into the soil.
"Boom! Boom! A loud bang came, and the kneeling soldiers all looked sideways, and their eyes widened when they saw Li Chengyang walking towards the Dianjiang platform step by step.
Finally, Li Chengyang boarded the point of the general, fortunately this point of the platform is solid, otherwise he may not be able to withstand him.
Looking at the shocking scene below, he grinned, lifted the boxes on his shoulders, and threw them far away with a fight.
The silver ingots rolling all over the ground caused a commotion, relatively speaking, more than 10,000 taels was not much, but the silver was thrown out like this, just like this, and the visual effect reached the best.
"See, silver, it will be yours in the future" Li Chengyang pointed to the silver on the ground, and then pointed to the direction where he came, a group of sheep were eating grass there: "See, mutton, it's your dinner at night."
Then he took a few steps forward, pointed to the side of the bridge, and pointed to the newly repaired bridge deck in the distance: "See, I smashed it, I killed five thousand Turkic dogs with my brothers here."
The soldiers who were in an uproar just now slowly lost their voices, and they all looked at Li Chengyang curiously, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"After following me, you can still fight, do you see the weight of this thing, who else in this world can be my opponent, do you think there will be a fierce general like me in the court?" he took a breath and pointed to the bridge:
"Here, more than 300 brothers and I killed more than 5,000 Turks, 300 defenders, and 46 guards, all of whom died here, and many of them had a deep friendship with me, and now you say that I can not avenge them?"
Pointing to the silver on the ground: "Follow me, there is money to spend."
Fingers moved to the flock: "Follow me, there is meat to eat".
He pointed to the bridge again: "Follow me, you have military exploits."
Finally, he poked the ground with a halberd: "Follow me, there will be a victory in the battle."
