Chapter 55: Overseer Fang Xuan Ling
"I'm out of the money." How many teeth must have been broken to say this!
Li Chengzong was not hypocritical, and said: "I won't run away one by one, you can notify the rest of the people for me!"
Sending away the difficult King of Jin, Lu Zhengdao's eyes were red, and he wanted to kill him.
This time, the face of the family was trampled on miserably, which made many people very happy.
Li Chengzong also enjoyed it, not only received millions of dollars, but also made unexpected discoveries.
The Turkic Khan had recently had a hot fight with Li Chengzong, and the Turks did not lack good horses but scarce daily necessities, so Li Chengzong set up a trade area of his own to encourage merchants to exchange luxury goods, grain, and salt for Turkic cattle, sheep and horses.
The Turki Khan reaped great benefits, and his life surpassed the well-off level more than ten years ahead of schedule.
As the so-called exchange of courtesies, the Tuli Khan, who knows a little about the culture of the Central Plains, sends people to send some things over from time to time, and what is worthless is distraction.
At first, Li Chengzong didn't have an idea, until he saw cotton. If you don't say that this Tuli Khan is stingy, it's okay to send some worthless things, cotton was still an ornamental plant in the Tang Dynasty, commonly known as white stacks. The Tuli Khan picked up the good-looking white stacks out of nowhere and gave them to Li Chengzong.
The origin of cotton is India and Arabia. Before cotton was introduced to China, there was only kapok for pillows, and there was no cotton for weaving. Before the Song Dynasty, China only had the word "cotton" next to the silk, and there was no word "cotton" next to the wood. The word "cotton" began to appear from the Book of Song. It can be seen that the introduction of cotton was at the latest in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it was mostly planted in the frontier.
Li Chengzong had a lot of foresight, and immediately ordered a large-scale search for cotton seeds, and the next year the whole Hebei will be promoted and planted.
Ma Zhou can't stop it this time, instead of growing grain, he will plant inedible cotton, it's crazy to think about it.
"The king of Jin can't, although there is no shortage of food now, he is not rich, and Hebei Province grows cotton, I am afraid that there will be a famine in the coming year."
Li Chengzong thought to himself, he was almost confused, he should make a pilot, and then promote it!
"In this way, set aside four states from Hebei Province to plant cotton, and tell them that this king will buy it according to the price of grain in the next year."
Ma Zhou nodded in agreement, but fortunately persuaded this master who often went crazy.
In winter, Hebei is really a place with four distinct seasons, and the cold is terrifying.
Su Dingfang braved the fist-sized snowflakes and stepped on the thick snow with difficulty.
"It's better to stay by the stove and watch the iron strike." Su Dingfang thought to himself.
Li Chengzong surrounded the thick bedding, and he kept shivering, freezing the child to death, and there was no heating.
"How's the production going?" Li Chengzong asked.
Su Dingfang said: "According to the method arranged by King Jin, now the weapons workshop can process about 100 sets of cuirasses every day."
Speaking of this cuirass, Su Dingfang had to admire King Jin's whimsy. In any respect, in that backward era, the iron cuirass was worthy of the super equipment of the cavalry.
Iron cuirass appeared in the late 15th century, the front and back halves were connected with ring beats and hinges or iron-clad belts above, and fastened with a belt below. The chest is embellished with pressed patterns or inlays, and plated with gold or copper, weighing 6-10 kg, and 1-3.5 mm thick, the cuirass was widely equipped in the cavalry of European countries, and different countries had different cuirassal styles, but tended to be unified in the late eighteenth century.
Li Chengzong's understanding of this kind of armor is still thanks to his armor fan girlfriend who once dumped him, and he specially studied all kinds of armor knowledge in order to do what he liked, and of course, it is good to remember the cuirass now.
A gust of wind blew in, and Li Chengzong couldn't stand trembling again.
"Tell King Jin that the emperor has sent a supervisor." Ma Zhoudao.
Li Chengzong's recruitment was allowed by Li Yuan, but it was still not possible to make ordnance, so it had to be reported. A few days ago, Li Chengzong's weapons workshop opened, and Ma Zhou reminded him that Li Chengzong thought that he was the bad guy elsewhere, so he should honestly ask for instructions.
No, Li Yuan's reply came.
"Who is it?" Li Chengzong asked.
"Your old acquaintance, Fang Xuanling." Ma Zhou smiled helplessly.
Li Chengzong was in a hurry, he couldn't take care of the bedding, stood up and said, "Isn't this killing me?" In the future, what will our workshop produce, and King Qin knows everything about it, so what else will we do?"
Ma Zhou also thinks so, Fang Xuanling is a person from the Qin Palace, on the one hand, and sent by the emperor on the other hand, it seems that the emperor is still guarding against the recent rapid King Jin.
"Hurry up, the processing money will make the craftsmen work overtime to make the remaining cuirass. Then let Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji pull the cavalry to the camp that was built last month, so that Fang Xuanling could not find out. Li Chengzong decided that he must keep a trump card in his hand.
Su Dingfang hurriedly went to carry out King Jin's order.
Ma Zhou said: "Now that it is snowing heavily, I think that Fang Xuanling will not be able to come for a while."
Li Chengzong was annoyed by Fang Xuanling's **, and scolded again: "I don't know how Pei Lin and Xiao Yu got it, this king gave them so much money, why can't it work at all?" He actually asked the imperial grandfather to send Fang Xuanling, even if it was to send Wei Zheng from the East Palace!"
Donggong, Wei Zheng also thought so.
Li Jiancheng said: "It's a good thing that Fang Xuanling goes, and King Qin is afraid that he will have trouble with King Jin who we grew up in again."
Wei Zheng thought to himself, the prince is inevitably narrow-minded, and besides, the king of Jin has sent a lot of money to fund the East Palace!
Xue Wanche said: "I heard from the people of the Shence Mansion that King Jin has recently created some good new types of armor."
"Do you have someone in the Divine Mansion?" Li Jiancheng said suspiciously, thinking about it, he didn't even have a few people in the Shence Mansion, where did you Xue Wanche get your eyeliner.
Seeing everyone's incredible appearance, Xue Wanche said embarrassedly: "My cousin who is not a weapon, he followed me at first, and later I recommended it to King Jin as a personal guard."
Li Yuanji said: "Is it the so-called Jinyi Wei under the command of King Jin's brother-in-law Wang Hu?"
The name of this brocade guard is completely coincidental, and the name is the personal soldier of the King of Jin, but each is dressed in brocade clothes, and the tiger is showing off the mountain in front of the clothes, which is very windy. Over time, everyone called King Jin's personal soldiers Jinyiwei.
The honest Xue Wanche nodded, Wei Zheng looked bad at it!
Li Yuanji said, "What else did your cousin tell you?"
Xue Wanche also knew that something bad was wrong, and he hated himself for not having a door. Li Yuanji was happy, and wanted to enter Li Chengzong's Jinyi Guard, that is, to figure out what the ancestors of the above three lifetimes were doing, and he didn't stuff one into it, but he didn't expect that there was a ready-made one in front of him.
Xue Wanche said: "I haven't heard from you for a long time, and I usually report that I am safe, and the armor is just a casual mention." Jinyiwei followed King Jin all day long, and he didn't know anything about his freedom. ”
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were a little disappointed.
Besides, in the palace of King Qin.
Fang Xuanling, who is about to travel far away, is a very serious King of Qin.
"King Qin, don't worry, I will be more careful about everything." Fang Xuanling said.
"But you must be careful and careful, Li Chengzong's guy is not easy to deal with." The eldest grandson Wuji said in particular.
Li Shimin said: "That weapon workshop must be watched, this time my father ordered you to supervise the work, which is nothing more than secretly finding out how many weapons that King Jin has built and how many people and horses can be equipped." You just have to rest assured to check, I don't think King Jin will dare to embarrass you. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Maybe, that kid's mind is dirty, who knows what bad water is holding back and waiting to splash the old house."
Li Shimin thought to himself, can't you say something good and encourage me?
Fang Xuanling said: "No matter what King Jin is, I only need to do my part to make King Jin uncomfortable." As the King of Qin said, I am a person sent by the emperor, and the King of Jin will not do anything to me. ”
The confident Fang Daren hit the road, and it was white.
