A bottle of wine was coaxed by a few people, and it was gone when it was Li Yexu's turn.

"Erlang, why don't you bring more, it's all over to me." Li Yexu complained, how can this be, he hasn't tasted it! Who called the previous few people stronger than him, only the part of being bullied!

"This is the barracks, where do I dare to bring more, not to mention that I have already honored General Wei Chi and General Li Jing two altars each, if you want to drink, go to your grandfather." Eldest Sun Erlang felt that these people had to be inched, but he took a great risk to bring them in.

Li Yexu was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again and said, "If grandpa knows that he will probably have to break my ass, he still doesn't want to." I've heard that there's a tavern outside, and I'm going to try it after two days. ”

"Hey, the wine is too expensive there, I can't afford to drink it!" Cheng Chumo was very hurt, and when he learned that there was a tavern outside, he secretly borrowed all the money from these people, and he didn't have a good drink.

It's really excessive, the price of wine is too high, if it weren't for the military discipline, Cheng Chumo would have wanted to fight him, and the black shop not only cheated his money, but also cheated the money he borrowed.

When Fang Yiai heard this, he asked, "Brother Cheng, when will you pay back the money you borrowed?" ”

"Yes, the eldest brother borrowed all my money a few days ago, you see" Li Yexu suddenly remembered that he was penniless. Now that he has gotten mixed up to such a point, he is to blame for being soft-hearted for a while, and he sent it all to Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo's face was red, and in order to drink, he was forced to pay debts, and said dryly: "I have drunk everything, I don't want money, I want to die!" "Annoyed and angry, he began to play tricks.

Shameless, really shameless, everyone knows Cheng Chumo's force value. I had to swallow my voice, I couldn't beat others, so I wouldn't lend it to him if I knew it.

"Okay, when we go back to Chang'an, Brother Cheng will invite us to Baiwei Lou for a meal, and let you drink enough wine!" The eldest grandson hurriedly became a peacemaker, blushing for this money, and it was quite cheap.

"That is, when will I go back to Chang'an. Make sure you are well fed and satisfied. Cheng Chu silently saw that the eldest grandson rushed to give him the steps, and hurriedly got down, this thing was indeed not authentic for him.

Everyone despised Cheng Chumo's cheekiness, and even his brother Cheng Chuliang moved back, disdainful of being with him. It's a shame.

More than ten days have passed, and thousands of craftsmen have been summoned from Guanzhong. Finally arrived at the new town. It also brought Li Er's holy decree, and the new city was named Bagua City, which has the characteristics of the Central Plains and has a sense of mystery.

Li Erda praised the reasonable layout, with a yamen office area and a commercial area. There are also civilian areas, official eunuch areas, and there are soldiers in each circle, and the transportation is convenient. Very good, be sure to speed up the construction of the city, and strive to complete it before the cold weather enters winter.

This time the task is very heavy, and Changsun Chong has to work harder, hoping to complete it one day sooner.

This time, not only the craftsmen came, but the major families in the capital also heard the news, since the eldest grandson Chong wrote a letter to the eldest grandson queen, Li Chengqian, and the eldest grandson queen discussed it with Li Er.

"Second brother, this Chong'er wrote a letter and said that he would let the concubine buy more shops in Bagua City, do you say that's okay?" Empress Changsun asked cautiously, worried that Li Er would think that she was competing with the people, it would be not good, after all, she had always demanded herself as a virtuous queen, and reminded herself not to exceed the rules all the time.

As soon as Li Er heard this, he figured out the key to it, it must be the eldest grandson who wanted to open a shop for a few of them, but he didn't dare to bypass the royal family, so he said so.

But this is good, it proves that they have the royal family in their hearts, and someone takes the lead, and the shops and houses in Bagua City are also easier to sell.

"Since Chong'er has reminded you, you can open a shop there, but Guanyin, in addition to opening a glass workshop, the rest will be given to Chengqian, Ke'er, and a few princesses." Li Er didn't want to participate too much, and he couldn't not participate at all.

"Also, sons, daughters are getting older, and they should also have some industries, and they will be good in the future." Empress Changsun said softly, although these princesses marry and princes get married, they all have a certain share, but the second brother has always insisted on paying lightly, so the treasury has not been very sufficient, coupled with the previous natural disasters, as well as this year's dispatch of troops to the Turks, the money in the treasury has also been spent.

"Well, let them send safe people over, but they must not oppress people with their identities, otherwise the shop will all be taken back." Li Er added.

"By the way, yesterday I heard a report from the inner treasury that the loom for spinning wool has been trial-produced, and a piece of material has been sent, you can take a look!" Empress Changsun thought that the drawings of the loom were also contributed by her nephew, and she was happy, whether it was the eldest brother or Chong'er, everything was close to her first.

"Oh? There is really such a thing, there are people on the grassland who use wool to weave blankets, which are very soft, but they have not yet woven wool into fabrics, if there is this good thing, then there can be more input on the grassland, and they will slowly surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Li Er said in surprise that he was very happy that this situation had occurred.

"Speaking of which, what is Your Majesty going to do with the hundreds of thousands of captives?" Empress Changsun asked, this weaving is still more convenient for women, and those Turkic women deal with cattle and sheep all year round, and for weaving wool fabrics, babies should get started quickly.

Li Er looked at the hair in his hand, thought for a while and said: "These people, I won't let them go back to the Turks, I'm really not stupid, I don't want to let the tiger return to the mountain." ”

"That's not easy, break them up and divide them in a few places! By the way, I heard Chong'er say in the letter, what kind of cement is used to build houses and roads, it is very good, it is better to leave part of it to build Bagua City, and part of it will be used to repair the road from Bagua City in Yunzhong to Chang'an. Second brother, look at how thick this wool is, if it can be produced in large quantities, my northern Tang soldiers will have one more warm clothes in the future. "Empress Changsun usually doesn't talk to Li Er about state affairs, but this time Changsun Chong sent a letter in the form of a family letter, so she should treat it as a family matter.

Li Er listened, nodded and said: "It's good to pay attention, the manpower is Turkic prisoners, but to build bridges and pave roads, a lot of money is needed here, and the treasury is very empty now." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the rice planted on trial this year had been successfully harvested for one season and the grain yield was very high, Li Er would have been worried a long time ago, where would he still have the leisure to talk about these things with Empress Changsun.

"Your Majesty, you haven't seen Chong'er's letter yet! In the Bagua City, in addition to the houses used for the office of the yamen, there are many shops and houses that can be sold, not only can you earn back the money for building the city, but there is also a lot of surplus, which can be used to build roads. Empress Eldest Sun suggested.

Li Er's head was raised: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

Li Er took the letter in the hand of Empress Changsun, read it from beginning to end, and said with emotion: "Good boy, you are really thoughtful. But isn't it a bit too much to collect money to buy a house like those civilians? ”

"Didn't Chong'er already say it, those civilians are penniless, but they have work to do, and the salary is higher than that of Guanzhong, in this way, only 20% of the income is taken out every month to pay back the house money, which not only allows them to work more diligently, but also makes them cherish their hard-won home more, and the imperial court can also have some income, so that they can run Bagua City for a long time."

"Well, that's good. I immediately issued a decree and let Chong'er take full responsibility for this matter. Li Er said in a deep voice, if you don't kill three birds with one stone, you shouldn't do it, then it's not Li Er.

Thinking of my sister-in-law Dou entering the palace a few days ago, her words revealed that she was worried about Changsun Chong, if this errand fell on the head of his nephew Changsun Chong, then I don't know that Ma Yue will return to Chang'an in the Year of the Monkey!

Empress Eldest Sun thinks more far-reaching, Chong'er has already made a lot of great contributions, there is no need to add icing on the cake, in terms of identity, the queen's mother; In terms of status, he is the son of the prince of the country and the future horse; In addition, Chong'er has that kind of adventure, so it's best to keep a low profile, so as not to attract envy, jealousy, and hatred.

After all, Datang's merits and talented people are not only available to the eldest grandson's family, but also to give others a chance to stand out.

Thinking of this, Empress Eldest Sun suggested softly: "Your Majesty, although Chong'er is very smart, but after all, she is young, as for the matter of building roads, you should arrange for others." Chong'er has made too many meritorious contributions, and I am afraid that he will be pampered and arrogant, so the gains outweigh the losses! ”

As a generation of virtuous queens, Empress Changsun can't say that others are jealous of Changsun Chong, she can only say that her nephew is not, so as not to arouse Li Er's disgust.

"Guanyin, are you worried that I will be suspicious of the eldest grandson's family?" Li Er's eyes rolled and he thought of this.

"The concubines don't dare, it's just that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! The elder brother is trusted by the second brother, and he is already the minister of the humerus of the Tang Dynasty, and Chong'er frequently makes great contributions, which is both good and bad for Chong'er. The second brother is wise and should understand the key. Empress Eldest Sun said respectfully, as long as her mother's family maintained such a status quo, it would be in her best interest, which would not only support her, but also not arouse His Majesty's suspicion.

"Haha, you've thought too much, but what you said makes a lot of sense, then leave this road repair to someone else! As for Bagua City, when everything is on track, I will also summon Chong'er back to Chang'an. Li Er is very satisfied with the attitude of Empress Changsun, such a descendant is the most stable.

"Isn't it going to take a long time for Chong'er to come back?" Empress Eldest Sun asked, "My sister-in-law wants to rush to the child!" ”

"The mother is worried, and it's no wonder that the sister-in-law is worried. In this way, when everything there stabilizes, I will let Chong'er come back and let someone else take over, and then Chong'er will still have the credit for it. Li Er also felt that he couldn't leave Changsun Chong outside for a long time, and muttered a little in his heart, it was better to look at it in front of him.

Li Er now wants to use Changsun Chong's magical encounter, but he doesn't want Changsun Chong to be too powerful and out of control, so he still lets him go back to Chang'an. After all, those things can be done by others, but things that can be done by others, only Changsun Chong can do them.

Thinking about this, Li Er thought that his heart was hot, he had always had the Tang Dynasty primary industrial system on his desk, and there were still many things in it that had not been made, and he still needed the participation of Changsun Chong to make it as soon as possible, and he couldn't wait to see the iron ship go to sea and trapeze in the air!
