Chapter 873: The Sorrow of the Second Dog

Fang Xuanling resigned.

But the successor, unexpectedly, was actually Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji was uncomfortable, he was helpless, and the appointment of the prime minister was personally instructed by the emperor.

Many courtiers caught up with this wave of retirement and retired and left the court, and the emperor still had no intention of returning to Chang'an, even if it was late autumn at this time, and it would soon be midwinter.

Gradually, the weather became cold, and the temperature in Chang'an continued to drop until it was below freezing.

While discovering that the weather was getting colder, people also found that even if His Majesty the Emperor was not there, even if many capable people in the court had left office, all parts of the court were still operating in an orderly manner. The construction of the road is progressing slowly, but it is still ongoing. The most exciting thing is that the price of cement has begun to drop.

With the construction of more and more kilns, the price of cement has finally been reduced through this project. The original price of a bag of cement for one silver coin has become a bag of thirty copper coins.

Thirty copper coins a bag, at such a price, the average family, with a tight belt, can afford to buy dozens of bags, which are used to paint a layer of cement on the exterior wall. The slightly wealthier ones can even directly build a house with cement and paint the courtyard with a layer of cement floor.

So, while the weather was not completely cold, many villages began a new round of building houses.

There are many more kilns in the imperial court than Hao Wencai's, so in the winter, along with the agricultural tax, there are also a lot of profits from the sale of cement. The national treasury, which had been weakened by the road construction project, suddenly recovered, and it was only a matter of time before it was completely restored.

After entering the winter, Su Dingfang finally forced the Goryeo people, regardless of the soldiers and civilians, to the territory of Silla Baekje, and at the same time applied to the imperial court to establish a city on the border.

As long as the city is built, the Koreans want to fight back, but it is just a dream.

Seeing this good news, Tang Jin hurriedly closed it and sent it to the main lobby of the military department.

Seeing the good news, Leng Feng was also very happy.

In particular, in Su Dingfang's private letter attached to the good news, it was determined that Quangai Suwen was unwilling and painful before his death.

The grudge in the winter of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan was finally avenged at the beginning of the winter of the twentieth year of Zhenguan.

Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, put away Su Dingfang's private messages, and then pointed to the stack of official documents on his desk and said, "These are all jobs that can be done with a seal, you can help me deal with it, I want to go to the Martial Arts Academy." ”

Tang Jin knew what Mr. was going to do, and he didn't care about avoiding suspicion, he took the big seal of the military department and said, "Sir, go, I'll take care of it." ”

Patting Tang Jin on the shoulder, Leng Feng left the palace with Su Dingfang's private message.

Although the temperature was very low at this time, the martial arts arena of the martial arts academy was still not closed, and many students of the martial arts academy could be seen from a distance, exercising with their upper bodies naked.

Nowadays, students in the junior academy can choose to enter the academy or enter the martial arts academy as long as they pass the entrance examination organized by the academy.

The gunpowder weapons of the Tang Dynasty have calmed the hearts of the people, and now joining the army is not something that makes people retreat.

Although the promotion of being a soldier is much more difficult than being a civilian official, in the same way, only by being a soldier can you have the opportunity to obtain a knighthood and become a real nobleman by virtue of military merits.

After the martial arts arena, the students who were training would stop training and salute Leng Feng when they saw Leng Feng.

Leng Feng was in a hurry to see Li Erniu and the others, so he didn't stop, just nodded to them.

Li Erniu and others, after the Battle of Gaochang, came to the martial arts academy as instructors.

After several battles, especially after listening to Li Jing and others' classes almost the whole time, Li Erniu and others were not only responsible for teaching students to refine their bodies, but also to teach them battlefield knowledge.

On the side of the martial arts arena, a tent was set up, and Li Erniu and Ergouzi took refuge from the cold in the tent, occasionally walking to the entrance of the tent and looking at the martial arts arena with binoculars, in case someone was lazy.

Leng Feng walked to the door of the tent and glanced inside, then smiled: "You two are leisurely, have your little bellies grown?" ”

Li Erniu found that the boss had come to raid the post, so he quickly jumped up from the rattan chair and waved his hand again and again: "Boss, although the two of us have relaxed a little, we have not reached the level of growing a small belly." ”

After speaking, he also lifted his cotton coat, revealing his eight-pack abs as strong as iron: "Look at it, it's not soft." ”

Leng Feng knocked his hand off and sat down on his wicker chair.

The second dog was dressed very thickly, and when he saw Leng Feng coming, he propped up the chair, but he didn't succeed.

Their chairs were the kind of old chairs that could shake, and he couldn't really get up on one hand.

Leng Feng saw that he still remembered, so he said, "If you can't get up and sit, how about it, your body is better." ”

Most of the people who came down from the battlefield at the beginning were exhausted and would have to recuperate for a while, but Ergouzi had a broken arm, and his face still doesn't look good.

Ergouzi grinned and said: "It's still like that, Sun Daochang said that I can't recover in a hurry, especially I can't train by myself." At most, next year, the body will be able to recover on its own. ”

Leng Feng nodded, although he had broken an arm, but because he had trained his left hand to use thorns, now the second dog could barely take care of himself with his left hand.

"What about the monkeys?"

Li Erniu replied: "They are in the classroom, and these students are very knowledgeable. It's just a pity that they have no chance to contact the battlefield, and now we Datang can't find an opponent who can fight in all directions. ”

Without the opportunity to intern, even if you rehearse, it is just a blind comparison.

Leng Feng thought for a while before saying: "This year's graduates postpone their graduation, let them wait, in three or five years, we Datang will have an action." Although Silla Baekje is far away, the land is still small, and the food is tasteless, they also participated in the world's attack on Tang at the beginning, and if they don't clean them up, they are sorry for the brothers who died in this battle. ”

Hearing that there was a war, Ergouzi's eyes suddenly lit up, but after a while, he looked at his right arm again and sighed.

He breaks his arm in a different way than a monkey. The monkey only has a broken forearm, but the elbow is still there, and after installing the mechanical arm, it can still recover its combat strength. But he is almost shoulder to shoulder and has a broken arm, and it is difficult to recover his center of gravity, let alone return to the battlefield.

Seeing the sadness in Ergouzi's eyes, Leng Feng couldn't help but reach out and put his hand on Ergouzi's right shoulder: "Discouraged what?" We don't just have a hand-to-hand handover. Tomorrow you will go to Zhang Zhongqing with my letter and learn how to calibrate artillery. When the time comes, you will be given a cannon that will also make the enemy fearful. ”

Hearing this, Ergouzi immediately regained his confidence: "Boss, don't worry, it's just a cannon, I can learn it in a few days!" ”
