Following the trajectory of history, the national war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is about to begin, and since Li Shimin issued the order to transfer troops and assemble, the entire Chang'an has been filled with a layer of slaughter. Under the co-ordination of the political affairs hall, all kinds of soldiers, horses, grains and grass materials arrived in Chang'an one after another, and the wharf outside the city was busy.

In King Wei's mansion, Li De was listening to Su Wen's return

Su Wen: "The head of the family, since the opening of our drunken immortal residence, it can be said that it is a daily gold, every day customers are surging, it is not an exaggeration to compare it to the door of the city, the furniture store in the West City only makes high-end furniture according to your arrangement, many people have come to the mansion to place orders, and a total profit of 1.2 million yuan is currently made, but the old slave estimates that because our things are not only drunk in Chang'an, such as stir-fried vegetables and furniture are easy to be imitated, and the profits of this batch of high-end customers are not likely to be so high after they are purchased." ”

Li De said, "This is also the reason why I didn't let you make low-grade furniture, furniture that thing just find a few craftsmen to buy a set from us, it doesn't take a few days to make it, there is no difficulty, so we want to build our own good reputation out, Drunken Immortal is our famous brand, Drunken Immortal Building, Drunken Immortal House, a restaurant and a furniture, as long as we first occupy the market, so that the people recognize our Drunken Immortal word, then it is already invincible, then no matter who imitates us in the future, it is also an impostor, At most, it will be a low-end market,"

Su Wen nodded and said, "What the head of the family said is, do you see if we are taking advantage of our booming business and opening two branches in Luoyang, Luoyang is also very prosperous, second only to Chang'an, and Luoyang has a large number of merchants coming and going from the Grand Canal, which is also a good way to expand the sales network." ”

Li De wants to do this, but at present, he doesn't have much manpower to expand, and Luoyang is the best commodity distribution center in the world. "Well, I think it's okay, I'll leave it to you to operate, I'm about to go out with the army, you are fully responsible for the livelihood in the house, you are looking for if there are any guys from the Jiangnan area, if not, ask a few families, find a good place to grow tea." In addition, you have done well during this time, Tong Qing took 50,000 yuan from the treasury and rewarded you with 10,000 yuan, and the rest was distributed to the servants of the restaurant, furniture, and caravan, and the people in the house also sent it, telling them that only by doing things well, I will not treat anyone badly. When I am not there, Su Wen is in charge of the affairs outside, and Tong Qing is in charge of the affairs of the house. ”

After arranging the affairs of the house, Li De prepared to go out to ask for weapons and equipment from Yan Lide.

It will be the gate of the prison

Li De got off his horse and walked straight into Yan Lide's office. Everyone around knows this master, so they don't need to report it.

Yan Lide was working on the desk, when he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was King Wei who had arrived, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Does the prince have something important to do this time?"

"Why can't this king come when it's so fine?"

"Ahem, how can it be, it's just that the lower officials received a letter from the political hall earlier, and they must step up the production of weapons and armor, for fear of snubbing the prince."

"It just so happens that this king is also here for this matter, so he came to sit down and said" Li De is not polite, and the people have not yet asked to sit, so he will sit first.

Yan Lide looked at the posture and was not easy to fool, so he was embarrassed to call someone to serve tea, of course, only the kind of tea. I also sat down and listened to Li De's next words.

I said. Lord Yan, it's been a few months, when will my equipment for the Carrying Army arrive? ”

"Lord Qiyu, at present, 30,000 craftsmen will be in charge of the army day and night to meet the needs of the army, there is really no spare energy to make it for the new army alone, your requirements are so high, and the type and style are not the standard equipment of the Tang Dynasty, this has to be poured from the new model, and the manufacturing method must be explored, so the production volume has not been improved, you also know that this is about to be a big war, this craftsman is indeed unable to deploy."

"Okay, you old Yan, play this with me, okay, let me tell you, my Beiwei army is the main force of the Chinese army, and it bears the heavy responsibility of intercepting Jieli's northward escape, if there is no new equipment, what do you let me use to resist the elite cavalry around Jieli,." If you let go of the responsibility, will you bear it or me?"

"The prince laughed, the old man can't afford this responsibility, otherwise there are not a group of craftsmen in your palace, I heard that the craftsmanship is not bad at all, presumably they are all skilled craftsmen, if the prince can let them join in, together to build the equipment of the back army, the old man guarantees to complete your requirements on time, what do you think?"

"I said that you have been going around for a long time, just this request, don't say it early, okay, I promise you, Tong Qing, you go back and ask Chen An to bring all the craftsmen, let him do the main work for me, deploy the craftsmen for me, and make things for me on time, there can be no mistakes. If you have any problems, just ask Lord Yan, and he will solve them. ”

Tong Qing turned and left.

"Old Yan, it's not that I look down on you, there are so many people who will be imprisoned, how slow is your movements, wait for Chen An to come over and let him teach you a good lesson."

Yan Lide said with a smile on his face, "The prince said that he laughed, this will be a prison since the Sui Dynasty, and it has been expanding to have today's scale." ”

"Alright, that's it, when I come back, you two brothers have to paint me a good picture, let me put it at home,"

Yan Lide said, "No problem, it's just that the furniture sold by your drunken immortal residence is not to give two sets to our two brothers, this painting is more beautiful if it has a good painting table." ”

Li De said, "I said, it's furniture to go around like this, okay, no problem, I'll let Su Wen send it to you, the boss personally, it's not good for a year." ”

Yan Lide rubbed his hands and said, "Isn't it that raising a large family is poor, your furniture is so expensive." Our brother can't afford it. ”

"Haha, okay, when I come back to paint two paintings for me, it will be your money to buy furniture, by the way, in addition to asking you for armaments this time, there is also a request, you should know that I was struck by the thunder back then, not to mention fake death, the weapon armor given by the master was also destroyed at the same time, isn't this going to go on an expedition, do you have something good here?"

Yan Lide thought for a moment and said, "The highest level of armor in the prison will be the Mingguang armor that only the general level is equipped with, and the best weapons are the Mo Sword and the Hundred Refining Horizontal Knife. ”

Li De shook his head slightly, "These are not what I want, I will definitely charge into battle, Mingguang armor can't reassure me yet, and the horizontal knife is far less lethal than my double hammer." ”

Yan Lide heard the words and said, "Lord, why don't you go to the palace and ask Your Majesty, you also know that I am a workshop here, and there are a lot of good things in the palace." ”

"I'm so stupid, yes, who else has forced the emperor to have a lot of good things these days, Lord Yan, then I will wait for your armament, farewell."

Walked out of the general prison and took people straight to the palace, the world is his Li family, there must be good things in the treasure house, Li De is ready to rob Li Shimin.

When they came to the palace, the guards saw Li De galloping over, opened the palace door and flashed to the side. With a slick of effort, Li De killed Li Shimin's Lizheng Palace.

"Third brother, what are you doing in such a hurry, what is there to make you so anxious."

"Second brother, where is your treasure house, take me to see it, I don't have a weapon to take advantage of, and the armor is not anywhere, how can you let me fight."

"It's very rare, if you don't go to Yan Lide as a prisoner, run to me to find the treasure house, aren't you stupid again"

"I'm a stupid ghost, don't fool me, there will only be Mingguang armor and horizontal knives as a prisoner, you are the emperor and you don't have a few good things, don't hide it, quickly take it out and I'll try it." Do you want me to kill Jieli? ”

"Call you stupid, you still don't admit it. Do you think I can use those things, you also said that I am the emperor, so I still need to go into battle in person, in addition to pearls and gold, there are no magic weapons in the treasure house. Besides, I gave Jieli all the good things that Jieli hit under Chang'an City back then, and if there were divine soldiers, I would have taken them out in exchange for money for the imperial court. Your hammer was given by Ziyang Zhenren, where can I find it for you. , or give you that armor of mine, and this saber can be regarded as a sword for me to fight in the north and south, then, you can take it. ”

The eunuch brought Li Shimin's armor to Li De.

Li De looked at it and said with a wry smile, "Second brother, you can play with me." Can I wear your golden armor, do you think I'm not conspicuous enough, if I go to the battlefield, it's strange that the Turks don't use me as a live target to shoot me as a hedgehog. And your sword, when will you see me using a sword, aren't you forcing me to be cheap? . ”

Li Shimin spread his hands and said, "The second brother can't help it, or you can wear Mingguang armor, if you can kill Jieli, there must be good things in his treasure house, you can pick it up." ”

Li De held his face with one hand and said with a wry smile: "Who would have thought that our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't have a good collection of things, and he would lose his life if he said it." Forget it, I'd better go back and ask Yan Lide to make me a large mace to use. ”

Li De declined Li Shimin's proposal to let him stay for dinner, and returned to the palace with people, Tong Qing stopped Li De head-on and said, "Master of the family, you are back." There's a Taoist priest in the house, you go and have a look. ”

Li De asked, "Who is it?" ”

Tong Qing said, "The Taoist priest didn't say it, he had to wait until you came, and he said that he had a lot of connections with you, and I didn't make the decision, so I let him in and sat down in the main hall." ”

Li De nodded and entered the main hall and saw a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a thin body, the Taoist priest raised his head and looked at Li De, and there seemed to be some kind of power in his deep eyes, Li De's brain hurt and came back to his senses, only to see the Taoist priest stand up and say to Li De, "Poor Dao Zhongli has seen the little junior brother"
