Li Zhi turned to look at Buri Gude, "Brother Bu, I am entangled in affairs, and I will rush to Luoyang in a few days, you quickly prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, let's talk while writing!" ”

Burigud happily agreed, and without assigning anyone else, he ran away quickly.

"Luoyang City? Didn't hear from you last night? Guo Yan frowned, "Do you want to meet that person?" ”

Li Zhizhi smiled and said, "What? Uncle is a little worried? Don't worry, I was invited by Princess Taiping last night, and it is one thing to enter the palace to meet me, and Zhengqing Wenqitang will also open a branch in Luoyang. Princess Taiping has taken a stake, at least for now, the Empress Wu will not easily move me! ”

Guo Yan was obviously relieved, "What about Qingqi?" She and your ladies will be there too, right? ”

After Li Zhi looked around, he talked about the matter of the martial queen's forced confession, although it was a secret matter, but it needed to be known by Guo Yan, because he was Li Zhi's most reliable force in the future.

Not surprisingly, when Yan heard this, he also said hatefully: "This woman is too vicious, doesn't she know that the saint can guess it?" This is a blatant forced palace! This person is terrible, more and more hateful, and the Holy One has been wronged! ”

"Therefore, I have to secretly monitor Empress Wu to take the pill on this trip, and if there is a mistake, I can change my plan as soon as possible!"

"You're sorry! Alas, the emperor knows you wisely, which is a great luck for the surname Li! ”

Although Guo Yan is not surnamed Li, his father is an old minister in the time of Taizong, and they have a deep personal relationship.

There is still a deep affection between the Guo family and the royal family surnamed Li, and Taizong has always protected the Guo family, so Guo Yan will pronounce the surname Li well.

"Because of this, I will set off a day in advance, and Qingqi and the others will rush to the next with the large army!"

For Guo Yan, Li Zhi has nothing to hide.

"Do you need an army escort?"

"There are thirty light riders to escort them, and the masters around me will go with them, there will be no problem, and I will let them ride in the baggage car."

Guo Yan knew that Li Zhi's cultivators were terrifying, and with those people here, it was more effective than a thousand light cavalry troops.

After a long time, Burigude returned, and Li Zhixun wrote on a table.

"Brother Bu, it's okay to say that the rest of the things, whether it is the crossbow body, arrows, or saddles, stirrups and other related steel materials, are all made of special steel, and your current forging environment is a bit arbitrary. At least there should be heavy guards around, and the entry and exit should be strictly checked, so that the core process will not flow out! ”

Burigud was a little surprised, although he had heard that Narimatsu had talked about the horror of the crossbow, but he did not know that its material also had special properties.

Li Zhi continued, "The material is not only the guarantee of range, but also the necessity of the greatest bearing of the saddle stirrup, when it is difficult to effectively use the bow and arrow on the back of a running horse, and when it is impossible to use swords and spears at will in close combat, slashing or assassination misses, and the collision of the blades of both sides can make the rider slide off the horse at any time, and a pair of high-quality stirrups can save lives." And because it is a Takahashi saddle design, it restricts the rider's body to slide forward and backward, provides longitudinal stability, and with the assistance of the saddle, the man and the horse are combined as a whole, making it possible for the cavalry to use the speed of the horse to make a frontal impact, which is a melee revolution with great significance! ”

Not only Burigude, but even Guo Yan suddenly came over.

Guo Yan hurriedly said: "It turns out that there is such a huge change in the inconspicuous saddle stirrup? No wonder there are such high requirements in terms of materials. ”

Burigude then sighed, "Who would have thought that a small change would double the strength of the cavalry, and I served Mr. Li." ”

Guo Yan remembered something in a short time, "Even so, the cost has increased significantly, and it is difficult to popularize it, most of the government soldiers pay for their own equipment, only light cavalry and heavy armor, which are provided by the officials." Moreover, the weight of the saddle stirrup is increased by at least ten times, and the demand conditions for horses are infinitely increased, will it lead to an address? After all, it's a huge investment. ”

The government soldiers are subordinate to the Guoyi, and the Zhichong Mansion is the military government of the grassroots organization of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the current armed forces.

The government soldier is the reserve, and he can not quit the service until he is 60 years old when he joins the reserve, but he serves in turns, and when he wants to fight, he must go to the front line, and when he takes turns to rest, he will go back to the local lord or farm, and he will generally serve for eight months and rest for a month, and he is a semi-professional reserve force.

When the war was fought, the imperial court issued a fish book and mobilized some local government soldiers, and after the local armed forces minister received it, he went to recruit reserve troops, and then the head of the armed forces took the soldiers of the reserve forces to the assembly place and found the chief of the marching road appointed by the imperial court.

The general manager of the marching road is the commander, Guo Yi, and the commander of the Zhichong are the generals, and the reserve troops are the soldiers.

After the battle, the chief of the marching road returned to the imperial court, and the head of the armed forces department of each county took the county reserve troops back to the county seat.

Every adult man in the Tang Dynasty had to join the reserve forces of the county, because the government had already paid a one-time advance, that is, the Yongye field for every adult man.

The weapons are not issued by the government, they are government-standard weapons purchased by themselves, and they are usually placed in the warehouse, but they can be taken away if they do not serve, and many government soldiers spend a lot of money to buy weapons.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Popularization is a matter of time or later, there are more wars involved, whether it is well-equipped or not, it is a matter of life, how can you ignore it?" And our first stage of targeting is the defense forces of each border, which is the official match of the imperial court, issued in a unified manner, and the fame spreads, and the popularization is not the general trend? ”

Břigud first figured it out, and he laughed and said:

"That's true, and the Tang army never fights defensively, nor does it fight counterattacks, it is an attack, even against the cavalry! Only when it is time to retreat, the teams alternate fifty paces to cover each other's retreat, and Mr. Li's design is based on this mode of warfare, as if tailor-made, and he is reluctant to pay for money, regardless of his own life. ”

"In fact, the cost increase is limited, and it is by no means as mysterious as ten times, except that the crossbow is expensive, of course, ordinary soldiers can't touch them." Li Zhi's armament improvements are all from later generations, and they have been tested by countless wars.

Talking and laughing, the work in hand was completed.

Li Zhi specially instructed the safety of various patterns, and then stepped on the horse and hurried back.

Back at Zhanyuan Pavilion, the ladies had already gotten up, and because they had returned at noon as agreed with him, they had lunch and were waiting for Li Zhi to come.

is about to enter Luoyang, there are too many goods to prepare, just the snuff bottle will basically empty the store reserves, Master Tan, there will be overtime, there is a closure to deliver the news early this morning.

The paper mill in Liujian Village also has an old Wu head to inform, but because the paper mills in various places have formed a scale, the supply of rice paper and ten-color notes is sufficient.

Zhang Xu will rush to Fengxiang County today to send a large quantity of high-grade wine to Luoyang.

As for the flavors and essential oils, with the current realm of Master Pang Qi, the amount of preparation and condensation in one day is very amazing.

Seeing Li Zhi coming, the girls also began to get busy, and the first thing to do was to brew fruit wine, and copy a set of flavors, essential oils, and snuff in the Chaoyuan Secret Realm.

This is still Yu Ran's suggestion, and she suggested what kind of qualities can be created in the aura environment.

Any set of equipment is familiar to the ladies, and Li Zhi is responsible for the entry and exit handling, and the progress is also fast.

Li Zhi once proposed that Yu Ran didn't have to go with her this time, but she resolutely opposed it and insisted on going.

After the transportation was over, Li Zhi called her over, held her in his arms, and during the physical examination, it was inevitable to rub oil, which caused Yu Ran to be full of shame.

Afeifa asked curiously: "Sister Qingqi, Yuran has a baby, and she is still so shy?" ”

Qingqi smiled, "She is so natural, she can't change it at the age of eighty, but it's not like someone, at a young age, she takes the initiative in the affairs of men and women!" ”

"Sister Qingqi is just me!" Pang Qi, who was busy, was not angry, "I was born to belong to Brother Zhengwen, as long as he is happy." But I'm much more honest when I, unlike my sister, who screamed in my throat the night before yesterday, right? ”

"You damn Nizi, I think you're looking for a fight!" Qingqi scolded with a smile.

"I agree with what Cry'er said, it seems that someone said last night that they wanted to go out to find a man while I wasn't at home!" Li Zhi's yin and yang strange qi path.

Qingqi's expression immediately became nervous, "How do you know?" Did Afifa tell you? ”

Afifa shook his hand again and again, wanting to refute it, but Li Zhi had already given the answer: "I'm listening in the dark, what's the matter with the acne on your face?" ”

"Husband, listen to me, it's just a joke, but you can't take it to heart!"

No wonder Qingqi is so nervous, she grew up with Li Yi, and it is the first time she has seen what she looks like on his face today.

"Then you teach Afifa tonight, he can't let go!"

"Poof!" Li Zhi's words made Yu Ran in his arms burst out laughing, and even caused Afeifa's face to be as red as a red cloth.

Qingqi was patting her chest, and her shock continued: "But it scared me to death, I have never seen the face of the text, it is soaked in vinegar?" ”

"Sister Qingqi, then you can give birth to him as soon as possible, my brother's heart will be much more steady!" Pang Qi frowned and glared.

"It's not my business to have a baby, I still need to... No, I don't have children, I'm also a decent woman, whether he is down-to-earth or not! ”

As long as Li Zhi is with his wife, he is always full of laughter, and he is very happy.

"Brother Zhengwen, do you want to move a few big beds here? Build a house! Pang Qi reminded Li Zhi.

Li Zhi had already made a plan, "It will be built next to the Great Dao Stone, where the spiritual energy is getting stronger and stronger, and I want to use this spiritual ore to build it." ”

As he spoke, he casually threw out a half-moon stone the size of a millstone and smashed it on the ground.

"I told you to be careful!" Qingqi dropped the work in her hand, walked forward distressedly, and moved it up to check.

After telling the story of the Half Moon Stone, Afifa was surprised: "Brother, your luck is really scary, you can find any good things!" ”

Yu Ran said: "Afeifa, we are all very lucky, because Brother Zhengwen has the support of heaven's will, and he has good luck, and all the cultivation resources and everything in Zhengqing Wenqitang are obtained by him alone. ”

"Is that the real reason for tolerating a lot of women around her?" Afifa thought about it, but still raised the question that had been in his mind for a long time.

Qingqi has the most say in this: "He was born with an imperial life, his life pattern is boundless, and Old Man Sun is proficient in this way, as early as when he was a few years old, he calculated it, and his family was willing to let me grow up with this little county marquis." Ziwei life, born in the natal chart, widely recruited virtuous and cultivated, learned and harmonious, a generation of romantic characters sent by God, not being tied by a certain person is its main star to sit on the fate. ”

Although most of the Afifa can't understand it, he also knows that it is an incomprehensible noble existence.

Muslims also have divination and a well-developed prophecy system, and legends about them are not uncommon for her.

"Am I so magical, how come I don't know it?"

Having said that, his waist was much taller in an instant, his chest bulged out, and he didn't forget to shake his long hair in a chic way!
