A cotton coat of fifty wen, a total of two hundred, a total of ten taels of silver, the steward gave Liu Weifeng the handmade money. Ten taels of silver, no one can get three hundred big money when you go back, and if you go back, you can also have an income of three taels of silver, which is a lot. The key is that this thing is made of clothes for frontier soldiers, and their lives are protected by soldiers, so they are very dedicated.

As soon as Liu Weifeng put the money away, he heard someone behind him call him: "Brother Liu, you are still the first to go!" "These village chiefs are now also local figures, this time not only can they do their part, but they can also get to know the people of the government, why not! Naturally, work overtime to earn a top, that's face!

"It turned out to be Village Chief Hu!" Liu Weifeng saluted, this person sat next to him that day, he became familiar with it, and later ate and drank together, as if they had become good brothers, everyone was a neighboring village, and they didn't see anyone who looked up and looked down, so they naturally wanted to be kinder.

"Hehe, we're hurrying and catching up, but we're still lagging behind." Village Chief Hu said enviously, the first was occupied by others, and he felt a little unhappy.

"It's all for Datang, and there are a lot of people in our village, so hurry up." Liu Weifeng said modestly that at this time, you can't be proud, otherwise it will make people feel very uncomfortable.

"Wait for me for a while, hand over the goods, and let's go out for a drink together." Village Chief Hu invited, and seeing that Liu Weifeng's attitude was good, he thought about continuing to pull the relationship.

Liu Weifeng smiled and said: "It's okay to drink, it's better to go to my house for a light meal, and when we make the cotton clothes, we will get together again and have a good meal, everyone is a villager, so naturally we should be closer." ”

When Village Chief Hu heard this, he said, "Okay, this time I will go to Brother Liu's house to recognize the door, and I will be able to move around in the future." Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We'll have to take care of each other in the future. ”

"That's nature!" Liu Weifeng agreed.

After a while, people came to deliver the goods one after another, and it seemed that everyone was full of energy, and after greeting each other, they received the materials and prepared to go back to continue the work.

Changsun Chong heard the steward's report in the evening, and today he received a bonus of 10,000 pieces of cotton clothes in one day, according to this rate, in a month's time, not only the soldiers at the border pass in Youzhou have cotton clothes to wear, but even the cotton clothes of soldiers in other places can be completed.

The design of the padded clothes is very reasonable. I thickened it with scrap material in the wear-resistant place and made three models according to each laugh, large, medium and small, and there was always one suitable one to wear.

"The power of the masses is mighty!" The eldest grandson Chong sighed. Not only is the speed fast, but the quality of the cotton clothes is very good. It's sturdy.

Li Erjian is so efficient. The promise of giving each soldier a cotton coat can be fulfilled, and his prestige in the army is even higher.

Packing his bags, Li Er took everyone in a carriage and went to Dengzhou.

Originally, Li Gang and Xiao Yu were not going to let the prince go, but Li Er hoped that the prince would see more. put them on, and the team grew bigger and bigger, so that later, except for Brother Qin, who was in charge here. Everyone else followed, naturally including the eldest grandson Yiniang and Princess Changle.

Since the good-looking calico came out, the eldest grandson Yiniang and Princess Changle have made clothes out of calico, and they are cute and cute to wear. Under the dress of Princess Changle, Liu Muxiang also wore good-looking women's clothes, with a long figure and a little more gentle.

Li Er and the others were in a carriage, just taking advantage of this time to test Li Chengqian and Li Ke's homework. Every time, the two sons can answer each other fluently, and they can also say a lot of different opinions, and they know a lot about the customs along the way, and they feel more and more that their sons have grown a lot.

It took ten days to finally arrive in Dengzhou.

Li Er ignored his physical fatigue, and directly called his two sons and eldest grandson Chong to go to the shipyard together.

Wang Jinliang heard that the eldest grandson was coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him, he was a petty official, he had never seen Li Er, regardless of his acquaintance with Cheng Yanjin, with a big beard. The person who has to be respectful even if he bites the gold is likely to be Your Majesty. They also heard that His Majesty often paid private visits.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside!" There was pride in Wang Jinliang's respectful tone, it could be seen that the big ship had been built, otherwise he would have been sad when he saw the eldest grandson rushing over.

The eldest grandson waved his hand and asked, "Lord Wang, where is the ship?" "They have been on the road for so long just to see the big ship as soon as possible.

Wang Jinliang led the way on the side and said: "Back to my lord, the big ship has been launched, and after testing, there is no problem at all. Early this morning, the sailors went out on a big ship for a sea trial, and it is estimated that they will return after half an hour. The adults went to the shed over there, sat and waited, and drank a glass of water. ”

When Changsun Chong heard this, he nodded and said, "Then there is Lord Laowang, this first ship has been built, has the second one started?" ”

"Some of the small parts of the second ship have now been completed, except for some larger timber that has not yet arrived, the others are ready, and it is estimated that a ship can be assembled before it freezes." Wang Jinliang replied that with the experience of the first ship, the speed of building the second ship was much faster.

"Good!" After the eldest grandson finished speaking, he asked some more questions, and Wang Jinliang could always answer them fluently.

Li Er couldn't help but glance at this person, and felt that this person was indeed talented, not only with excellent shipbuilding skills, but also smart.

Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and a black spot appeared in the distance, Wang Jinliang pointed to the black dot and said excitedly: "Adults, that is our big ship." ”

Li Er took off his sunglasses, squinted his eyes, and put his right hand on his eyebrows, which was too far away, and only a black spot was seen.

After a while, the black dots became bigger and bigger, and gradually you could see that they were putting on the sails, Li Er, Cheng Biting Jin, and Duan Zhixuan's mouths were getting bigger and bigger.

"This is our big ship?" Li Er was almost a little unconvinced.

"Yes, my lord, the whole hull of the ship is thirty-two zhang and twelve zhang wide. General Zhang trained sailors in the vicinity and achieved a small success. It happened that the big ship was built, and according to the regulations, he took 300 people out for a trial voyage, and this was the third day of the sea trial.

Li Er couldn't sit still, stood up, looked at the big boat, and was excited.

After a while, the speed of the big ship was full, and it entered the harbor, dropped anchor, and fixed the ship.

Zhang Daliang heard the report of his subordinates, saying that there were a few people below staring at the big ship on the side, and he was shocked, maybe someone in Beijing had come to inspect. After securing the boat, he immediately disembarked with the people. When he walked in, he saw that it was His Majesty, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Jinliang guessed it, but no one broke it, and he didn't dare to salute rashly, and now when he saw Zhang Daliang kneeling, he also knelt down and kowtowed to make amends.

Li Er's husband and wife Zhang Daliang, Wang Jinliang said: "You are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, one trains the navy, the other builds a big ship, and you have made great contributions." How about the ship? ”

Zhang Daliang's eyes lit up, and he got up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this ship is the largest ship and the fastest ship that the minister has ever seen in his life!" ”

"I'm going to go up and have a look." Li Er was excited, thinking about putting it on and taking a look.

Duan Zhixuan stopped and said, "Your Majesty, no!" It's better to wait for the ministers to go up and check it again, and then talk. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! My old Cheng, please take your life! Cheng Yanjin said with a grin.

"Okay, then you can go up and have a look!" Li Er commanded.

After a while, Cheng Biting Jin led people down and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Hearing this, Li Ercai was relieved to get on the boat, Zhang Daliang, Duan Zhixuan, and Changsun Chong followed closely.

When he arrived at the big ship, his vision was much broader, and Li Er said with emotion: "With this ship, what else can stop it!" ”

"Your Majesty, these large ships can be used not only for military affairs, but also for commerce, transporting grain or other commodities, and the cost of transportation is much less than that of land transportation." Changsun Chong explained.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the three thousand navy has finally gone to sea, and it has the appearance of a real navy, and when it cooperates with other ships tomorrow, it will start training." Zhang Daliang said happily, although he didn't know why His Majesty had trained the navy, but after the training, after the training, he would definitely lead the navy.

Li Er looked at the vast sea, and felt that his heart was also a lot broader, there were seabirds flying by around him, and you could see the fish on the bottom of the sea when he looked down to music.

"Good, good!" Li Er said excitedly, "Zhang Daliang listens to the order, ten days later, another 7,000 Tang athletes will be recruited, I hope that by this time next year, there will be 10,000 powerful navy." ”

Zhang Daliang knelt down to receive the decree: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister's decree will definitely live up to Your Majesty's will." ”

"When recruiting soldiers, we must solve the worries of the people. If someone joins the army, they can give away a set of yards and fifty acres of land, and the location is in Dingzhou. Li Er explained, "I don't want a situation of forced conscription, I hope Aiqing can bother more." ”

Li Er is still very sure of Zhang Daliang's talent, but there is one thing that is not good, in order to achieve his goal, this person will do whatever it takes, and his means are resolute and resolute, and even a little brutal.

Zhang Daliang was thinking about how to force the increase of troops, but he didn't expect Li Er to speak, so he hurriedly distinguished: "Weichen will never dare to act arbitrarily, and will definitely arrange everyone's home."

"That's good!" Li Er's head, no matter how good Zhang Daliang's guarantee is, he will send someone to supervise it in person.

In the vast sea, Li Er felt very small, people were like a drop of water in the sea, and suddenly thought of the world map that Changsun Chong gave him. thought that the Tang Celestial Dynasty was most of the world, but it turned out that he was wrong, and finally understood that there is a sky outside the sky, just in the distance, not far away, there is a Wa country, thinking of their provocative behavior last time, Li Er was unhappy, one day, the Tang Dynasty Iron Hoof will set foot on that place.

Thinking of Goguryeo, Li Er's heart is more like a needle prick, although it is not like admitting, but the Tang Dynasty inheritance and the Sui Dynasty, in terms of right and wrong, the enemy of the Sui Dynasty is also the enemy of the current Tang Dynasty.

After two years of bumper harvests, the vitality has gradually recovered, and as long as it takes another three years, both the population and the national strength will increase greatly. Now there is only patience, and when you are fully prepared, you are making attempts. If he insists on forcing it, then he is the second Emperor Yang of Sui. (To be continued......)
