Chapter 66: Fighting Crickets
Left Dragon and Tiger to command the army, what position is this?
Zhu Wen wanted to pass the throne to his adopted son Zhu Youwen in his later years, who knew that after Zhu Youqi knew, Zhu Youqi found Han Qing, the commander of the Left Dragon and Tiger, and the two led troops to sneak into the palace and kill Zhu Wen and successfully usurped the throne.
And Kong Jie was named the commander of the Left Dragon and Tiger Army, plus the commander of Ma Bujun, which will enable Li Ji to have the capital to compete with Zhu Wen in the future.
Kong Jie has been nurtured by his father since he was a child, and the idea of loyalty and patriotism is impregnated in his bones. Since being ordered by Kong Lin, he has understood the truth that he is in Cao Ying's heart and Han .
Originally, he served in the Left Dragon and Tiger Army, and he was afraid that his subordinates would be difficult to control for a while. But he brought Zhan Yunpeng, these 800 soldiers, were incorporated into the Zuo Long and Tiger Army, and as soon as Kong Jie took office, he immediately firmly controlled the Zuo Long and Tiger Army in his own hands.
When Zhao Kuangning learned that Lancheng had lost his hand and more than 800 people had become prisoners of Zhu Wen, he hurriedly retreated and did not dare to make any further moves.
And Li Keyong learned that Ge Congzhou was guarding Heyang, and he didn't dare to act rashly, and the feudal towns were jealous of each other, and there was finally temporary peace in the world.
Li Ji really recruited a lot of alchemists, and most of these guys were abductors. But all of them are talents, and they speak well, and Li Jichao likes to be with them.
Qingxuzi is still good at making spring pills, which are similar to aphrodisiacs. Fortunately, Li Ji is still young and doesn't need this thing, but Zhu Youneng came here to ask for it a few times, and then went happily.
Guang Yuanzi, who is good at making manganese, is Li Ji's most powerful assistant. The formula of gunpowder will never be revealed to them, this is Li Ji's last killer feature. Li Ji tried to make some firearms, but they were too noticeable and had to give up.
Zhu Wen was very generous about this matter, and specially built a pill pharmacy in the palace to specialize in refining pills.
In addition, more than 20 strong men were recruited, and Li Ji brainwashed them when he was idle and had nothing to do, so as to train them to become his own guards.
Li Ji is getting more and more free now, at least he doesn't have to be monitored by so many guards when he leaves the palace. On this day, he took the dog's legs and Youwei, as well as Zhang Mao and Zhao Ergou, out of the palace together, and went to the Guangwang Mansion to find Zhu Youneng to fight crickets.
The dog's legs are holding a cricket jar, which they caught in the corner of the palace last night, this cricket's hind legs are slender and strong, larger than the average cricket, Li Ji was very excited after catching it, just this head, it is definitely the king of crickets.
Similarly, Zhu Youneng was idle at home, so he wanted to go out and have fun. Since he was warned by Li Ji not to bully the people anymore, he felt that there was nothing fun, so he also wanted to enter the palace to find Li Ji to fight crickets.
As a result, the two met unexpectedly in Emerald Lane.
"Brother Zhu, I was just going to your house to find you to fight crickets."
When Zhu Youneng heard this, he said excitedly: "Brother Li, I won't tell you, I just want to go to you to find you." I got a Shenwei general yesterday and killed seven crickets, and I am absolutely invincible and the first in the world. ”
Then Li Ji saw the cricket jar held by Wangcai behind Zhu Youneng, and listening to him boast so much, Li Ji was a little weak-hearted: "Is it really so powerful?"
Zhu Youneng was triumphant: "Of course, let's go, go to my house and compete."
"If you don't go, your father King Guang won't have a good face when he sees the two of us, so let's go to the teahouse." Li Ji proposed.
Thinking of his father, Zhu Youneng couldn't help frowning: "Okay, I know a good teahouse."
Tong Yaxuan, it sounds like a very elegant name, but it is really not suitable for Li Ji, a little faint gentleman, and Zhu Youneng, a loser.
Sure enough, most of the people who came to drink tea inside were literati and elegant guests, and those who occasionally saw the five big and three rough and fierce faces were also quietly sipping tea.
Zhu Youneng has to be the focus wherever he goes, and when he enters the door, he shouts: "Dr. Tea, tea!"
Business is not easy to do in troubled times, and those who can drink tea are either rich or expensive. Seeing that it was a guest, Xiao Er hurriedly came out to greet him: "Please come inside the guest officer."
Li Ji and the others didn't come to drink tea, and Zhu Youneng didn't tell the difference, so he found the biggest table in the middle of the room and set up a posture: "Brother Li, come on, let you see how powerful my Shenwei General is today."
Suddenly, Li Ji stretched out his hand to stop him: "Slow, Brother Zhu, it's not interesting to fight like this, how about we make a bet?"
As soon as he heard the bet, Zhu Youneng was even more excited: "Okay, what are you betting on?"
"If you lose, give me two acres of land. I don't want you in vain, let's do a business together and make a profit? ”
It turned out that Li Ji's neurotic system suddenly came alive again yesterday, but he left a few words as usual and there was no follow-up. This time, it was because Kong Jie was promoted to the commander of the Left Dragon and Tiger Army, and the system rewarded the glass manufacturing formula.
Fortunately, this time the system was righteous, marking the location of quartz sand, lime and soda ash near Luoyang, and also throwing two stones of corn kernels to Li Ji.
This gave Li Ji a bold idea, he wanted to make glass.
First of all, as long as you understand the composition of glass raw materials, this thing is relatively simple to make. Moreover, the melting point of glass is low, and the high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees can be completely achieved in this era.
With glass, Li Ji was able to build a vegetable greenhouse and engage in out-of-season planting.
Although Datang's food varieties are monotonous, there are still green vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, carrots, cowpeas, cucumbers, melons, etc.
If these can be planted, they will definitely be able to sweep Luoyang City.
Although Zhu Wen is not extinguished, the days will pass. Li Ji is the emperor, so naturally he can't do it himself. He has to find someone to come forward and be the boss behind the scenes, and Zhu Youneng is the most suitable person.
First, he is a loser, and everyone is not surprised to do anything deviant, which can temporarily hide people's eyes.
Second, he is Zhu Wen's nephew, a character who walks sideways in Luoyang City, no one dares to provoke, and after making money, Li Ji has the capital to secretly recruit troops and buy horses.
Zhu Youneng was suspicious: "Brother Li, what do you want to do with the land?"
"You don't care about it, just make sure you get rich." Li Ji said lightly.
As soon as he heard that he was rich, Zhu Youneng immediately became interested: "Okay, if you lose, you can get me some rejuvenation pills from the palace, that thing can make me a groom in the drunken flower building every night, hehe."
"Dirty!" Li Ji scolded, and then the two of them put on a posture to fight crickets in the teahouse.
This was originally a place to drink tea, but at this moment it has become a battlefield for Li Ji and Zhu Youneng to shout five and six crickets, and the two of them began to blush and shout again.
Li Ji gradually liked the feeling of being a faint gentleman and could do whatever he wanted. No wonder Zhu Youneng doesn't care about being a loser at all, he lives a chic and comfortable life.
"General Kamui, go on, bite it! Bite its leg! ”
"Youwei, bite, bite its neck!"
Next to him, he was aggrieved: "Master, why did you give it such a name?" Why is this cricket also called Youwei? ”
"Because if it loses, I can beat you to death."
Promising: "......"
