Yang Tong's coffin was buried in Peach Blossom Pass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to Zhao Xichen, the feng shui here is very good, but it can bless future generations. However, Yang Tong has no heirs, which is said by later generations...... Anyway, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are not there, and Zhao Xichen has become an authoritative expert, he can do whatever he says, Li Yanqing is too lazy to argue.
Lu Yin said, Yang Tong is a peach blossom.
I hope that this peach blossom all over the mountains can satisfy him.
Buried in Peach Blossom Pass, you can look at Yanshi from afar, overlook the Eastern Capital. Li Yanqing hoped that one day, Yang Tong could watch him in the spirit of heaven and attack the eastern capital.
However, as a generation of emperors, Yang Dong's mausoleum is not luxurious.
There were not many people to see them off, only Li Yanqing, Pei Renji, Xu Wenyuan and others. Xue Shui and Sui Yang have a deep hatred like the sea, and it is absolutely impossible to see Yang Dong off. As for the others, their feelings for the Sui room are not deep. It is not so much that he got the official position of the Sui family, but that Li Yanqing took care of it. Unexpectedly, Zu Shou actually came...... He also personally wrote a eulogy and burned it in front of the mausoleum.
Yan Qing's move made Xu Wenyuan highly appreciated.
In the eyes of this great Confucian at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yanqing has undoubtedly fulfilled his duty as a courtier.
But in fact, how can he pay attention to the sourness in Yanqing's heart? After all, he still can't be ruthless like those emperors.
******
"Lord, how do you think this Su Wei should be arranged?"
In the study, Zu Shou cautiously asked. As Du Ruhui, Xue Shui, and the eldest grandson Wuji were entrusted with important tasks, Zu Shou was gradually reused.
His rhetoric is gorgeous, his calligraphy is more inherited from King Zhong's style, and he has a faint demeanor, and has become an indispensable figure around Li Yanqing.
Yan Qing pondered for a moment and said softly: "I have no intention of seeing him for the time being, and I will wait for a while...... Well, I'll talk to him when I get back from Mt. Shomuro. ”
Su Wei was captured by Li Yanqing in the Battle of Caishui.
Because of his extraordinary background and status, he is an old minister of the emperor, and his qualifications are too old. Although he was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, when Yang Guang went to Jiangdu, he asked him to accompany him by name. This alone shows that Yang Guang attaches great importance to Su Wei.
This man is very capable, and he has been in the sea for a long time, and he is quite resourceful.
According to Li Yanqing's original intention, of course, he wanted to reuse Su Wei. After all, Wang Hao is old, and after Li Mi was killed, he seems to have become a little excited. Two days ago, he also told Yan Qing that he wanted to hand over Qilintai to Chai Xiaohe and concentrate on compiling a book called "The Missing Record of the Great Cause". He was determined, and very determined. Even if Li Yanqing tried every means to persuade him, he did not make Wang Yan change his original mind.
The lack of a record of the great cause, to be precise, is to comment on the various measures taken by Yang Guang since he took the throne.
Wang Fei said: "I am old, and my energy is not as good as before, and I will occupy the position of Qilin Terrace again, and it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no difference in the future." The structure of the Qilintai has been completed, but the scale is not enough to cover the world, and it is said that the future filial piety will continue to work hard to improve this matter.
I intend to write a book and comment on the gains and losses of the great cause...... If the lord is sympathetic to the old decay, let the old decay fulfill this last wish. ”
Wang Fei was born as a scholar and doctor, and he traveled all his life to establish a meritorious career.
But his life is really not smooth. first offended Emperor Wen of Sui and was assigned to Lingnan, but fortunately, Yang Liang, the king of Han, valued him and asked him to his side, but he refused to follow his advice. It wasn't until he followed Li Yanqing that Wang Yan could be regarded as improving, and he even built the Qilin Terrace, which can be regarded as a major event. Now, all he hopes is to make a name for himself in Shilin. Commenting on the decree of the great cause is also a big deal. Not only can he be accepted by the scholars, but at the same time, in his heart, he also wants to leave something for Yanqing.
Li Yanqing saw that Wang Yan had made up his mind, so he no longer insisted on it.
Chai Xiaohe is indeed talented, but Li Yanqing feels that there seems to be something missing. Xu Wenyuan can be correct, but Xu Wenyuan ...... After all, he is a scribe, and it is inevitable that he will be a little sour. Solvay...... It's a good fit. But if you want him to bow his head, it is far from enough for Su Kui to serve under Xu Shiji. An old minister like Su Wei will come up with the means of boiling the eagle and make him bow his head slowly.
Therefore, Li Yanqing was not in a hurry to meet Su Wei.
Xingyang's current form is very good, and everything is normal.
Last year, most areas of Henan had a bumper harvest, so Xinzheng, Kaifeng, Yangcheng and other places, although under the repeated wars, some were dilapidated and depressed, but there was not much population loss. This also makes Li Yanqing's pressure relatively reduced. If it is a year of disaster and famine, Li Yanqing said that he would open Luokoucang to help the disaster area. Luokoucang is now the biggest trump card in his hand, and if he moves once, he will have a little less, so Li Yanqing attaches great importance to the care and management of Luokoucang...... You must know that just a month ago, Du Ruhui also asked for 20,000 stone of grain and grass from him, and emptied ten cellars of baggage at once, which made Yanqing's heart ache for a long time.
After the beginning of spring, in addition to Xinzheng and other places facing the problem of spring ploughing, Hanoi and Ji County also faced such problems.
Although Ji County has a Liyang Cang as a backup, it can reduce the pressure on Xingyang County to a certain extent. However, as a major station in Henan Province, Li Yanqing still has to prepare enough seeds, farm tools and livestock, and he must distribute them as soon as Ji County needs assistance.
In short, guarding a Luokou warehouse seems to be full of supplies.
But when it comes to using it, you will find that it is overstretched. Li Yanqing introduced a new law at the end of last year, setting a one-year tax exemption.
In other words, in the new year, he will not be able to obtain any financial revenue, and can only rely on the two major warehouses of Liyang and Luokou to ensure the passage of Xingyang County's decrees. Before the beginning of autumn, there will be two warehouses of expenditures such as soldiers, horses, food, salaries, and baggage...... In these years, the landlord's family may not have enough surplus food.
"Mr. Zu, in Xingzhou and Zhengzhou, has the conscription begun?"
"It has already begun, but according to Xin Langjun and Zheng Langjun, the assembly of the new army is quite slow.
Since last year, the war has also caused numerous losses in ordnance. Only two spears and lances could not be supplied. The Zheng family's workshop has begun to operate in full swing, but a large number of plows need to be replaced in the spring ploughing next year, and the task is equally heavy, and they are a little unable to keep up. ”
Gongzi plough is the plough that Li Yanqing changed from the Quyuan plough in his memory when he was a child in Luoyang.
After a period of trial, the people of Xingyang basically accepted the Quyuan plow. This spring ploughing is coming soon, coupled with the implementation of the new law, so the demand for Quyuan plough has increased significantly. Originally, there was no problem with the Zheng family's iron-smelting workshop making a single Quyuan plow, but with Li Yanqing becoming self-reliant in Xingyang, the expansion of the army has become an urgent matter. Li Yanqing had made up his mind to expand the number of soldiers and horses in Xingyang County to 50,000, and Hanoi and Ji County to 20,000 each. This is almost twice the current strength of Xingyang County, and a large number of ordnance baggage was replaced, and it was handed over to the Zhengjia Iron Workshop for processing. In previous years, it was too late for the Zheng family to be happy, but now it is crowded into one place, which is also a headache for the Zheng family.
In order to ensure supply, the Zhengjia Iron Workshop is already running at full capacity.
But there are all kinds of problems involved. For example, the assembly of the curved plow, such as the combination of ordnance...... Wait a minute. From the ordnance frame to the small tee, it takes a lot of effort. According to Zheng Hongyi's letter a few days ago, Brother Zheng Zuxing is going crazy.
The general environment is like this, and it is impossible for Li Yanqing to conjure up any program-controlled equipment.
Some small ideas can be used for reference, but the theories of 1,500 years later, let people know 1,500 years ago, and they can never be solved in a moment. Since we can't make any modern equipment, we can only change the process and process in the subtleties.
For example, the assembly process line that appeared as early as the Qin Dynasty can be used.
But in terms of craftsmanship......
Yan Qing knew that after the Tang Dynasty, the use of lance was almost extinct.
Even the most common lance is rare in later generations. Not only because the use of the lance is complicated, but also because of the craftsmanship involved.
The total cost of crafting a standard lance can make between 30 and 50 spears.
But the power of the spear is comparable to that of the lance......
Li Yanqing is also a little difficult, how to choose this?
"In this way, tell Xin Langjun and Zheng Langjun that this lancer should not be assembled for the time being, and try to solve the assembly of spearmen and spearmen first. He sent someone to tell Zheng Renji and Zheng Gong that the production of Gongzi's plough must not be delayed, so as not to delay the use of the plough after the beginning of spring...... If it really doesn't work, please ask the Zheng family to come forward and gather craftsmen from all over the world. I think that there are countless skilled craftsmen in this world, and they can always think of a way. ”
Zu Shou nodded after hearing this, and quickly recorded it.
"Lang Jun, the ladies are urging outside, please leave Lang Jun as soon as possible."
Yan Qing heard this and laughed.
"Then let's do this first, and implement the few things I just said as soon as possible.
In addition, he ordered Huang Junhan to lead his troops to cross Heishi for fifteen miles and set up a camp in Longhu Beach. This matter must be completed before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I want to maintain the pressure on Wang Shichong and make it difficult for him to sleep. ”
"Whoa!"
Zu Shou bowed down to answer the order.
Huang Junhan came to Gongxian alone before Li Yanqing and Li Mi went to war.
He had only one request, and that was to see Li Mi killed with his own eyes. And at this point, Li Yanqing easily met Huang Junhan's request. And Huang Junhan himself is also a master who has been in battle for a long time and has the ability to manage soldiers. After returning to Li Yanqing, he quickly gained a firm foothold in Heishi Pass, and now the official worships the eagle and strikes the general, and is Yao Yi's garrison. And the Longhu Beach that Li Yanqing said, to be precise, already belongs to the rule of Yanshi.
It is located fifteen miles away from Heishidu, and the straight-line distance from Yanshi County is about forty miles.
Backed by Shouyang Mountain, overlooking the Biling Trail, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can be used as a bridgehead to attack Yanshi County.
After arranging everything, Li Yanqing, accompanied by Zushou, walked out of the study.
When the two of them arrived in front of the Li Mansion, they saw that the carriages and horses had already been prepared. The eldest grandson Wujian was pregnant, and Li Yanqing decided to take the family to Songshan for the New Year.
Yan Hu also wrote many times, asking Yan Qing to go to Shaolin.
Wujian and Xiao Nian have already sat in the carriage.
Pei Cuiyun accompanied Erniang, holding her little brother who had just turned old, and sat in another car.
Pei Renji's youngest son, named Pei Xingjian, was born with a pink carving and is extremely cute. According to Pei Cuiyun, Pei Xingjian is different from Pei Xingyan, Pei Xingyan was born very noisy, while Pei Xingjian seems very quiet and well-behaved. So much so that Pei Cuiyun and others loved him very much.
Pei Xingjian?
That was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty after Su Dingfang in the early Tang Dynasty!
Zu Shoujing said goodbye and left, and Liu Qing led the elephant dragon over. After Yan Qing got on the horse, he looked at Duoduo, who was already riding on the horse, and the two Xue Li and Song Lingwen, who seemed to be small tails, followed behind Duoduo, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads.
"Xue Li, Song Lingwen, aren't you at home with your family?"
Xue Li rode a pony and said with great interest: "My mother said that she wanted me to follow my master and Erniang, and she would accompany my aunt to Jijun for the New Year." ”
Xue Ying went to Jijun?
It seems that the eldest grandson Wuji is also over there. Could it be ......
There are really too many things in this paragraph, and Li Yanqing didn't ask about the eldest grandson Wuji and Xue Ying. But it depends, it should be good.
Forget it, since they're going to follow, let's follow!
Yan Qing scratched his head and waved his big hand, "Let's go!" ”
"Let's go!"
Xiong Kuohai roared in front of the team, and in the neighing of people and horses, a convoy set off slowly, and after leaving Gongxian, they went to Songshan Mountain.
