Chapter 269: Discussing Long Work with Beauty
Xiao Xiao's north wind announces to all things on earth with her unique 'nature' that winter has arrived, and any creature that is not ready to overwinter will be mercilessly punished by her.
The cold winter is a severe test for Ningyuan City, which has a population of more than 100,000. To be precise, the long winter is not the most cruel, according to the experience of the locals, the green and yellow after the winter is the most terrifying and tragic, many people survive the winter, only to fall in the dawn of hope.
For this winter, Wu 'Meng' is both happy and sad.
The joy is that the general took precautions, purchased a large amount of salt with foresight, snatched food from the hands of the Turgish, and looted nearly a million cattle and sheep behind. A large amount of beef and sheep 'meat' was salted and stored in warehouses, and with the reserves, the whole city did not have to worry about famine.
The worry is that the surplus cattle and sheep can be slaughtered, but the surplus horses and camels do not know what to do. Nearly 20,000 war horses make Wu 'Meng' a headache, the war horses only eat grass will definitely lose their horses, in order to maintain their combat effectiveness, then they have to deal with more cattle and sheep and from the mouths of the army and civilians to save food, and cattle and sheep are the hope of Ningyuan City next year, too little will affect the next year's wintering.
Li Huaitang can hide behind Wu 'Meng' in a very ostrich way, as long as Wu 'Meng' can deal with it, he doesn't bother to care, in contrast, he is more interested in the results of the armed courtyard.
As if to report the good news, a few days after Li Huaitang came back, Gong Wulang appeared in front of Li Huaitang's eyes, bringing Li Huaitang's favorite news: another batch of strong crossbows has been freshly baked!
The lethality of the strong crossbow is extremely deep in Li Huaitang's impression, as long as the strong crossbow is numbered, any enemy in front of it is a dirt 'chicken' tile dog, and those who do not believe in evil are only the corpses and mountains of blood.
As soon as the good news of the Armed Courtyard swept away the 'gloom' haze brought to Li Huaitang by the country of Bahan, Li Huaitang, who was eating in the court, happily spit out a piece of mutton 'meat' in his mouth, and hurried to the Armed Courtyard for acceptance on the spot.
"Li Lang!"
The sweet and delicate voice stopped Li Huaitang's forgetful footsteps. Li Huaitang turned his head and saw the eyes of Yueyue's 'desire' to try, and it seemed that Su Xiaoniang was not interested in the crossbow.
"The concubine is also going!"
In the short days in Ningyuan City, Su Xiaoniang was 'mixed' with the group of 'female' cavalry soldiers of Wusi almost every day, and they were very 'confused' by Su Xiaoniang, especially the small hand crossbow that Su Xiaoniang loved to spare. Before she had time to be coquettish with Li Huaitang, the opportunity was suddenly delivered to her, and of course the smart Su Xiaoniang would not miss it.
The armed courtyard is not far from the general's mansion, and it only takes half a pillar of incense to ride a horse. However, it is not so neat to take Su Xiaoniang, the consequence of the two consecutive nights of 'exciting' love is that Su Xiaoniang has difficulty walking, and it is even more impossible to ride a horse, in desperation, Li Huaitang had to arrange a carriage to take Su Xiaoniang, who insisted on going with him.
To Li Huaitang's surprise, his mansion was tightly besieged by dozens of businessmen early in the morning, led by Jangant and the Kuhan who had come from Talas.
"Kuhan, I've fulfilled the promise I made to you, and you're here to make trouble?"
Li Huaitang waved his horsewhip and pointed at Kuhan and pretended to be extremely angry. The purpose of this group of businessmen is like a mirror. Businessmen, it is their nature to pursue profits, businessmen who are fortunate enough to have been to Ningyuan City will not miss this rare feast, and those who do not plan to take a piece of the pie from Ningyuan City are not good businessmen.
Only two days after arriving in Ningyuan City, Kuhan and his entourage were deeply touched by the feeling of seeing Ningyuan City late. After some comparison, they all have an idea, who can seize their own territory in the prosperous industrial and commercial area in the future, then it is equivalent to who first seizes the commanding heights, after all, resources are limited.
Taking Li Huaitang's 'gate' road was Kuhan's suggestion, and when he heard Li Huaitang naming his name, Kuhan replied respectfully with a smiling face: "Respected general city lord, please allow me to call you so, you are the greatest and most discerning hero in the history of the Hanzhong region. We wait to compare with you, just as the light of a firefly competes with the sun and the moon. Before, we were short-sighted and couldn't see the value of Ningyuan City, and hoped that the general city lord would not care, but now, we are willing to take refuge under the wings of the general city lord, and we are willing to advance and retreat together with Ningyuan City......"
"Don't talk nonsense! Whatever you want, just click! Li Huaitang impatiently interrupted Kuhan's long-winded expressions of loyalty.
A anxious figure crossed Kuhan and squeezed in front of Li Huaitang's eyes. When Li Huaitang looked at it, it turned out to be Zhan Gante.
"General, I still want double copies of the shops in that industrial and commercial area!"
Jangant came along to join in the fun, and Kuhan's idea made him feel unprecedentedly 'fierce' competition, and in order to seize more market share, Jangant gave up. Gambling is not a whim, he believes in his vision, and Li Huaitang also gives him unlimited confidence. He was very fortunate to meet a big customer like Li Huaitang, he did not suffer a loss in the slave trade of Shiguo, Li Huaitang not only compensated him for the principal, but also generously gave him hundreds of pack horses as a consolation prize. With such a customer, why worry about making money.
Li Huaitang smiled secretly, but his face was silent: "Those who want to shop in the workshop will go to five thousand Wu'meng' households to sign up, on a first-come, first-served basis, I have no privileges." Don't blame me for being late! ”
The businessmen stupidly looked at Li Huaitang's standard shrug of his shoulders, he didn't understand it for a while, and he reacted quickly like Zhan Gant who knew the way, Li Huaitang's words were his command gun, and he only left a back for the people on the scene at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
"Hey, wait for me!" A group of businessmen didn't care to greet Li Huaitang and followed Zhan Gant to grab a place.
In order to avoid trouble, Li Huaitang simply got into the carriage dedicated to Su Xiaoniang and enjoyed the soft 'jade' warm fragrance.
"Oh, don't, Li Lang is so serious......"
In the carriage, Su Xiaoniang gasped and softened in Li Huaitang's arms, her pretty face was flushed, and she was full of shyness.
Li Huaitang made a successful move and stopped the offensive in his hand slightly. At this time, sultry is also flirtatious, the distance of the armed courtyard is not far, and it will not be possible to get off with a "tent" at that time, right?
Su Xiaoniang acquiesced to the two big hands covering the sensitive parts of her body, and happily cowered in Li Huaitang's arms, and her slender 'jade' hands gently drew circles on Li Huaitang's chest.
"Li Lang is really generous, thousands of horses have been given to them for nothing."
I don't know when Su Xiaoniang has had the consciousness of a 'female' city lord, and the property sent by Li Huaitang has caused a trace of injustice in her heart. Normally, she was right to complain, it was understandable to send some pack horses to that Zhan Gant, but Su Xiaoniang couldn't figure it out when she gave thousands of pack horses to those merchants just now for no reason.
Li Huaitang felt a faint sourness, scraped the little lady's nose funny, and said proudly: "My little beauty, when have you ever seen your husband suffer?" Hehe, the husband has his own arrangements, everything is under your husband's control. ”
"Well, it's mastery." Li Huaitang smiled very '', and deliberately grabbed the two soft balls in his hands.
Su Xiaoniang was unexpectedly attacked by a sneak attack, her delicate body trembled slightly, snorted, and pinched Li Huaitang's chin coquettishly.
"Is Li Lang playing any bad ideas again?"
"It's okay to tell you, but ...... tonight"
"Huh? Yes! No, Li Lang is necrotic, thinking about bullying the concubine. "Anger erupted by twisting the 'flesh' around his waist, and it was Li Huaitang's bear waist who suffered.
"Oops, it hurts, surrender, surrender, I recruited, recruited." Li Huaitang bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, but he did not suffer any loss, and his hands took the opportunity to enjoy the softness.
"Well, let's put it this way, on the surface, those merchants are taking advantage of me. However, Zizi think, how can I afford this sudden increase of tens of thousands of pack horses, and giving them is just a favor, and the key is that they can't be idle with pack horses, they must transport more goods, and the goods transported to Ningyuan City are not equivalent to contributing to the prosperity of Ningyuan City? At that time, the population, the shortage of materials, especially the food, iron, clothes and silk that we are short will roll in, hehe, in the end, I treat them as long-term workers, that Zhan Gant thinks he has taken the biggest advantage, in fact, he doesn't know, his identity is just a senior long-term worker in Ningyuan City! ”
The more Su Xiaoniang listened, the brighter her eyes became, and when she heard it, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh at the end, and her shoulders kept shaking.
"Senior long-term worker! Haha, laughing at the concubine, husband, husband is so bad! ”
"Hehe, isn't it said, Lang Jun is not bad, and Xiao Niang doesn't love it. The husband's bad, the beautiful lady who swept the world. ”
Shameless, shameless again. The shameless Li Huaitang took advantage of the advantage under the banner of not knowing which one, and his hands were not idle, and he almost didn't soften Su Xiaoniang, who was in a 'blur', into a puddle of muddy water.
"Bang dang!" The bustle in the distance saved Su Xiaoniang when she was pushed down.
"Who's making trouble?"
Li Huaitang let go of the beauty in his arms and lifted the curtains to find the source of the noisy sound.
From the General's Mansion to the Armed Courtyard, you need to pass through the intersection of Chang'an Avenue and Luoyang Avenue. At this time, the Northeast Industrial and Commercial Zone has begun to take shape, and caravans from all over the country are constantly shuttling among them, and people come and go, adding a lot of excitement to Ningyuan City in early winter.
In order to attract the attention of passing merchants, the merchants in the area have used endless methods, and Li Huaitang suspects that this noisy bustle may be a gimmick of which businessman.
The soldiers who had been ordered to inspect them soon returned, their faces full of strange 'colors'.
"This, General, is the Great Cannibal, that,"
Li Zhongxin's words flickered, and his eyes looked at the carriage from time to time, as if he was hinting to Li Huaitang, and that expression felt like Li Huaitang was traveling with his wife, and he happened to meet a concubine raised outside on the way.
"What this and that,, have something to say." Li Huaitang glared back at Li Zhongxin's gaze, in front of Su Xiaoniang, he felt that there was nothing to hide.
"It's the big cannibals, they are beating gongs and drums to praise the merits of escorting Madame back to Ningyuan City!"
"Sukhail?"
Li Huaitang remembered that the purpose of this big cannibal didn't seem to be very clear here, and it was all inconsequential to talk to him yesterday.
What exactly does the Great Cannibal want to do? Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
