Chapter 161: A group of wives and concubines
The failure of the investment carriage made Li Yuanji depressed a lot, at least he didn't come up with some other new things.
In the past nearly a month, Li Yuanji continued to run around, the manufacture of grenades is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner, and the new grenades are made of ceramic projectiles, but due to technical problems, they still need to be ignited when they are used, but the sealing has been better improved.
It is a one-piece projectile body, leaving only a small opening at the top, and it is from here that gunpowder is poured, and then a meter-long lead is installed, and then a small amount of gum is taken to smear and seal, after testing, its power is more than one-third higher than the two in the previous test.
And the production of this thing is also extremely easy, as long as there are enough bullets, five hundred people can make more than 20,000 in a day, so far, no less than 200,000 grenades have been stored in the warehouse, if it is not for the shortage of raw materials, Li Er is afraid that he will order to make it to the warehouse can not be placed.
Of course, such a dangerous object, naturally it is impossible to put it in the city, the workshop is in the city, but every time a car is built, it will be directly pulled out of the city for storage, where Li Shimin's most respected Xuanjia Army is responsible for guarding, and the safety is naturally not said.
There are three more days to be the New Year's Day, as the most lively festival in China, from the streets of Chang'an you can see the people's expectations for this.
Shops have engaged in 'promotion' activities to attract the attention of the people, and the people are bargaining, either happy or melancholy.
Li Yuanji is also melancholy, starting from the New Year's Day, there will be half a month's holiday, and half a month later, it will begin to enter the real preparation period for the expedition, at that time, the selected government soldiers from all over the country will go to Chang'an to assemble, according to the distance and convenience of the road, some of the government soldiers will go directly to the border area to assemble, and Chang'an will take about half a month.
That is to say, when it comes to February, he has to lead the army to set off, although it is for his own future and future, but when it comes to this moment, Li Yuanji still has all kinds of reluctance.
However, this reluctance was soon diluted by another happy event.
Lying on the rocking chair, sipping the latest high-quality tea, feeling the beauty brought by the heating, a pair of squinting eyes unabashedly probed the row of beauties in front of them.
Yes, there are more than 20 in a whole row, these beauties have different postures and figures, some fat and thin, but there is a criterion for selecting people, the face must be good-looking, and it must be flawless.
In this Tang Dynasty, where there was no plastic surgery and no cosmetics, these people standing in front of them were all first-class original beauties.
Li Yuanji, who has endured it for more than a month, instantly felt that his spring seemed to have come.
"These beauties are from different state capitals, they are all sixteen to eighteen years old, and they are all from good backgrounds, Your Highness can choose some of your favorite ones to stay!" With a smile on his face, Fang Xuanling personally took these beauties to the Qi Palace.
This period of time has really busy him, the time is too short, and it is too late to re-select, so Fang Xuanling chose the team of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then re-selected some, and finally personally looked at it three days ago, selected the best of the best, and selected these twenty beauties.
It's not difficult to be a beauty pageant, the difficult thing is to make some arrangements, Fang Xuanling didn't bother with this matter, and even the children of his distant relatives were added.
There is not much time left for them, but fortunately, Yang and Yu'er are pregnant, and as long as Li Yuanji has a demand, he will inevitably find these beauties, and in a month's time, how much can be achieved can only be left to fate.
"Xuan Ling, but you think this king is not in good health?" In addition to being happy, Li Yuanji couldn't help but feel proud, his harem could finally be built.
In the future, there will be no conditions and it will be illegal, but now......
Li Yuanji never concealed his lust, and if he didn't think about it when he saw a beautiful woman, it was not a saint, but a eunuch......
It doesn't seem right, it is said that the eunuch is also in demand, whatever, anyway, he is happy, there are more than 20 beauties in the harem at once, it seems that this king has to get off work!
"Why did Your Highness say this?" Li Yuanji's remarks made Fang Xuanling a little confused, your Qi King's ability is known to almost the entire Chang'an, with Wei Chi Jingde's big mouth, what else do you want to hide? Have you forgotten how Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde took revenge on you?
"It must be that you think that this king has a physical problem, so you let this king choose a few ......" Li Yuanji continued to tease Fang Xuanling, the joy in his heart, his mind was all on those beauties.
"Forehead......" Fang Xuanling was speechless for a moment, what else can I say?
"Okay, you can go, these beauties are all for the king." Li Yuanji waved his hand, and more than 20 beauties were all included in the harem.
"Your Highness likes it, these are the information of these beauties, and the minister will retire first!" Fang Xuanling sweated in his heart and handed over the information of the beauty, and hurriedly retreated.
"Wait a minute......" Li Yuanji suddenly shouted: "This king has a new concubine today, Xuanling, don't you send some gifts to congratulate?" ”
"Send ...... Chen will go home and prepare gifts...... "Fang Xuanling's heart 10,000 horses roared by, and he chose a beauty and almost died of exhaustion, not to mention, but also to take a distant relative in, not to mention, and asked me for a gift, why don't you go to heaven?"
……
Looking at these beauties, Li Yuanji felt that the more he looked at them, the more pleasing to the eye, although there must be monitoring himself, but it does not prevent him from liking it, no matter how strong his ability is, can you be stronger than this king?
This king can break it into a bend for you......
No, it's a curved ......
Forget it, it's so hard......
After you reach the north, the sky is high and the birds fly, you just let in a poisonous snake, and this king also has a way to let this poisonous snake bite you in turn.
"Chunhua! Chunhua! After watching about a quarter of an hour's effort, those beauties blushed one by one, and they didn't know whether they were shy or hot, Li Yuanji remembered that he hadn't done anything yet, and hurriedly shouted.
"Your Highness, Chunhua is not in the house today!"
"Oh! Xiao Dezi, you go and arrange a room for the beauty of this king, and arrange a servant for each person, so that you can entertain you, understand? Li Yuanji shouted, secretly saying in his heart why there are so many eunuchs around him? First Song Zhong and Yu Ren, after these two goods were sent out, Chunhua came again, Chunhua also went out, and there was a little dezi again, okay, these are all in their own mansions very early.
"Understood! Slave maid understands! ”
After sending the beauty away, Li Yuanji seriously inquired into this information.
The information is very simple, only the name (nickname) of the place of origin, family background, and the simple information of carrying property.
It's not easy to see something from these materials, but at least it can be proved that the families of these beauties are quite good, and each of them carries one or two personal maids.
In the end, Li Yuanji directly closed the information that could not be seen to be true or false.
When I looked up, I found that my wife Yang didn't know when she was standing in front of her, and there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.
"What's wrong with Aifei?" Li Yuanji knew it, but he still had to pretend to be unaware and asked, this is a harem in an open and honest way, there are more than 20 at a time, even in this era, the Yang family does not dare to make trouble, but it is inevitable that there will be some loss in his heart.
"It's nothing, the concubine is happy for His Royal Highness, and the popularity of our family will rise in the future." Yang said indifferently, but tears fell from his eyes.
"If you lie next time, you're going to spank your husband ......" Li Yuanji took two steps forward, gently hugged Yang's shoulder, and whispered teasing in his ear.
Rao is an old husband and wife, but after listening to Li Yuanji's words without shame, the Yang family still couldn't hold back the little blush, and quickly broke free from Li Yuanji's embrace, muttering in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't say these words again, the concubine ......."
"That's it! All right! Are all old husbands and wives still afraid of this? Li Yuanji once again put his arms around Yang's shoulders with a smiling face, and said in a low voice: "No matter when, you are the wife of your husband, and you will always be the queen of this family." ”
"Woo woo~~~" When Li Yuanji said this, Yang couldn't help sobbing in a low voice, and his voice choked: "Your Highness, it's not that the concubine doesn't want His Highness to take a concubine, it's just that so many people came for a while, and I felt a little uncomfortable, afraid that His Highness would snub the concubine." ”
If it weren't for seeing Li Yuanji's heart-filled look just now, the Yang family wouldn't have cried so sadly, Li Yuanji's performance made her very worried and scared.
"Don't worry, there will always be only you in your husband's heart." Li Yuanji hugged Yang tightly, because he was worried that the child in his womb would be affected, so he didn't dare to use force, the two hugged each other tightly, attached to Yang's ear and continued to whisper: "I don't want to do that, but if that's not the case, he will never rest assured of me, and when I gain a firm foothold over there and take you out, I won't have to look at his face again." Later, it's time for him to look at my face. ”
Yang pressed his head tightly on Li Yuanji's neck, feeling the familiar warmth, and tears slipped down again: "The concubine knows that the concubine will wait for His Highness to take us out." ”
"One year, after the New Year's Day next year, I will come to pick you up!" Li Yuanji nodded solemnly, Yang's fate is also very bumpy, she did not die in this life, so she was not included in the harem by Li Shimin, but he still experienced the pain of losing his son, and he took care of the daughters born to himself and other concubines like his own children, and he was even more obsessed with himself.
With her, I feel more responsibility, the responsibility of the head of the family, the responsibility of the husband, rather than those impulses that are occupied by desire.
"Your Highness, the concubine wants to ...... tonight"89
