Chapter 272: Preparing for the South
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, this is my stupid bear pillow, and I have to bring this too."
"Okay, take it." Wang Xiang reluctantly took a stupid bear pillow that was almost half as tall as little Lori and stuffed it into the carriage.
Turned around and took a small wooden box handed over by Tie Dan, and suddenly felt a sinking in his hand, almost falling, but fortunately, Tie Dan was lifted in time and did not fall to the ground.
"Lady, what are these, so heavy?"
Wu Shun smiled and said, "It's just some books bought from Linglong Academy, and when you are on the way, you can read the books to kill time." ”
Wang Xiang said speechlessly: "Do you need to bring so much...... Didn't we bring cards? "There are dozens of books at least this weight, let's go on a trip...... Oh no, we're going south on an errand, what are we doing with so many books.
"On the way, the husband accompanied the second girl and Ju Yiya's sister to play cards, I just read the book, and besides, it is always better to read the book than to play the card, didn't the husband also say that you should not be too addicted to playing cards."
I'm talking about bad gambling cards, we usually just play with stickers on our faces, or drawing turtles on our faces......
However, Wu Shun thought about Wang Xiang for everyone, what else could Wang Xiang say, so he had to signal Tie Dan to stuff the wooden box into the carriage, fortunately it was a special super large carriage, more than two or three times larger than the ordinary carriage, and the front cart was also pulled by four tall horses, all of which were good horses in the Western Regions, since the establishment of a trade market in the Western Regions, the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions has become more and more frequent, and Wang Xiang has also got a lot of handsome good horses in the Western Regions.
"Brother-in-law, bring these too." Little Lori ran over with a lot of small toys in her arms, and even the nine-song golden ring she got from the envoy of Ma Liguo at the court meeting.
Wang Xiang really didn't know what to say.
"Ernan. These...... You don't have to bring it. You don't play much in the house on weekdays. ”
Little Lori shook her little head and said as a matter of course: "There are a lot of fun things in the house on weekdays, so I don't play." There's nothing fun on the road, so of course you have to take these toys with you. ”
"Husband, husband, come and help me, Aunt Lin has prepared a lot of pastries and snacks for me."
……
Finally stuffed all the things into the carriage, looking at the full carriage Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, ordinary people don't have so many things even if they move.
More than ten days have passed since the Lantern Festival, and more than half of the 1,200 lantern riddles have not been guessed, and the lantern riddles have become the hottest topic in Chang'an City during this time. As the puzzle of these riddles, Wang Xiang didn't care very much, he was busy preparing to go south to Xunzhou.
After the Lantern Festival, the climate gradually warmed, everything began to recover, and the trees in the yard began to sprout green sprouts one by one.
With potatoes, Li Er didn't have to worry about famine in the Tang Dynasty, and the trade with the Western Regions became more and more frequent, and wool began to be transported into Chang'an in a steady stream. The factory for making woolen clothes has expanded several times, and the cotton in Bairuiyuan has also begun to be planted and stored in Wang Xiang's small vegetable garden and the palace's vegetable garden. I think it will be promoted soon, and it is foreseeable that the people of Datang will be free from hunger and cold in the future.
Nowadays, the shortage of salt has become Li Er's most concerned livelihood issue.
The most suitable season for salt drying in the sea is summer, but the ancient traffic is really a pitfall, unless the fast horse whips, but also in the post houses along the way to constantly change the fast horse, otherwise want to rush from Chang'an to the extreme south of the Lingnan land takes no less time than from Chang'an to the Western Regions.
Wang Xiang had suffered when he went to the Western Regions, and this time he naturally refused to wronged himself, and there were many places he wanted to see and play on the way south from Chang'an, of course, he had to travel all the way, so it was not surprising to prepare so long in advance.
After the Lantern Festival, Steward Wang, Aunt Lin, and they all returned to the Hou Mansion from home, and they were all helping Wang Xiang prepare the things that needed to be used on the road, Steward Wang was particularly active, how could he not be active, since he learned that Li Er gave Wang Xiang a fief, he has been thinking about the back cover of the Hou Mansion, and heard that Wang Xiang was going south to the fief, and a large number of old Wang Stewards said that they would go with him, saying that they were afraid that Wang Xiang would not know how to take care of the fief when he got there.
In fact, where did Wang Xiang take care of the fiefdom, he went to dry salt for Li Er, but he didn't tell anyone about it, so others thought that the Marquis of Jiayuan went south this time to go to Lingnan to see his fiefdom.
The things to be prepared have not been prepared, strong as a big pillar, the two pillars are tired enough, not to mention the recent pampered blessings, this kid came back after the New Year and gained some weight, moved a little things and was tired and out of breath, it is not as good as Steward Wang, Wang Xiang pondered that after he left, let him go to the Western Regions again, first, to understand the current situation in the Western Regions, a few shops in Xizhou now do not know how it is, and secondly, to let this kid exercise.
The important things were ready, and the other scattered small things were handed over to Steward Wang to look at, and Wang Xiang took the iron egg to the Gewu Academy.
After the Lantern Festival, the Gewu Academy and the Yipin Academy have opened, so the Gewu Academy at this time is very lively, Wang Xiang came over, everyone respectfully and warmly saluted and greeted him, Wang Xiang smiled and responded one by one without the slightest shelf, which is also the reason why everyone likes him.
Everyone continued to study and do things, Li Chunfeng took Wang Xiang and Tie Dan to the backyard of Gewu Academy.
"Are all the meteorite weapons built?"
Hearing Wang Xiang's question, Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "All of them have been built, a divine iron giant axe, a divine iron thin sword, and thirty-four fine iron giant axes." ”
Wang Xiang nodded, and he was also very much looking forward to these blades in his heart.
As they spoke, the three of them came to the outside of the room where the blades were forged, and before they could enter the door, they heard Master Feng's words coming from inside.
"To be able to create such a blade, my old Feng will not be in vain."
"Yes, the blades made entirely of divine iron have only been the seven-star knife that has been sharpened like clay throughout the ages, but it is less than one-twelfth of this giant axe."
Seven Star Knife? Wang Yun's seven-star knife during the Three Kingdoms period?
Wang Xiang muttered in his heart, and then heard Master Sun laugh inside: "Old Luo, don't you boast that you have countless wrought iron and infinite strength, you try this giant axe?" ”
"Don't try, this giant axe weighs two hundred and sixty pounds, and I can only barely lift it with my hands for a moment with all my might, I don't know who in the world can make such a heavy weapon, the pair of plate axes of the old general Lu Guogong Cheng is thirty-eight pounds, and they are all destroyed on the battlefield."
Two hundred and sixty pounds? Wang Xiang, who was outside the door, was also stunned when he heard Master Luo's words, aren't there two of them who are so heavy?
