Chapter 275: Purben Purben
Li Han whistled in surprise, and another snow harrier eagle swooped down, straight into his arms, he kissed and muttered: "Erbao, I miss my father, why are you here too?" β
At this moment, Xi Dalai rushed out of the greenhouse again, and he also pierced it with a crazy chirp, but fortunately Li Han was lying on the chaise longue, and the two eagles stood on the armrests left and right, otherwise he would have been pressed enough.
Tian Qi was dumbfounded and looked at the "father and son" making crazy love, he really couldn't imagine, how could such a huge and ferocious evil bird be Li Han's child? Sitting next to the snow harrier eagle with its sharp beak and claws, he was so frightened that he hurriedly carried a chair and retreated a long way.
Cao Shou, who had finished the drip, walked out to bask in the sun with difficulty with the support of Liu Xi, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were red with envy, and he came over and touched Xida and said: "Brother, shouldn't we share joy and sorrow?" Should you share half of your stuff with me? β
Li Han pouted and said: "If you want to be beautiful, sharing happiness and bitterness is also a matter of dividing things, can your wife and son be separated?" β
"I didn't say anything about dividing my wife and son, I just want you to be a bird."
"Is this a bird?" Li Han snorted angrily and said, "Is this a bird?" Yes? This is my son! Dabao Erbao, say hello to Uncle. β
Xi Da Puben was very smart, turned his face to look at Cao Shou, and wanted to fly to Cao Shou's arm with a vicious scream, so frightened that Liu Xi hurriedly pulled him back a few steps, shouting for Li Han to hurry up.
Li Han laughed proudly, remembering that he was serious, he untied the bamboo pipe from Puben's leg, took out the letter and looked at it carefully, and looked at it, his face became very cautious.
The letter was written by Zhou Yafu, who detailed the situation along the way, told Li Han that they had arrived safely in Hairpin County, and that there were no major losses along the way, and also used the boss's space to say that he was shocked by the richness of the hairpin Jue, and was very satisfied with the conditions there. said that he had taken over the position of the governor of the hairpin county, and would rather die there.
Zhou Yafu emphasized that Yi Zhixian took away the weapons he promised to give to Li Guang, and did not directly engage in internal fighting with the military ministers according to Li Han's prediction, but from the beginning of spring, he has been crisscrossing the grasslands and containing those small tribes, and now there are 300,000 elite troops.
Some time ago, Yi Zhixian actually sent an envoy to hook up with the five marquis such as Evil Valley, but fortunately, Li Han's informant was very effective. The news was transmitted to Zhou Yafu in advance, and Zhou Yafu immediately made a decision, sent people to ambush on the road of the Xiongnu envoys, captured all those envoys, took them to Hairpin County, and sent them to the mine as coolies, which put an end to the hidden danger of the surrendered Wuhou rebelling again.
And there are 200,000 troops on the side of the military ministers, and according to the information sent by the informants of the royal court to the hairpin county, Yi Zhixian has already sent the Bank of China to say that he has gone to the military minister's department three times. It is estimated that they are negotiating peace, and if their brothers' peace talks are successful, it is very likely that by the time autumn is ripe, there will be 500,000 troops in Koubian.
Li Han closed his eyes slightly. Nervously calculating, the Huns are only two or three million people, which means that the adult strong men all put on armor and become warriors. The defense force of the Han Dynasty is obviously far from enough, if there is really a war in the autumn, the only thing that can be relied on is the sophisticated firearms that surpass the Huns. Otherwise, it will never be able to defend against it.
"Damn, I thought that I was made a fuss by the master, and the Tartars could stop for three or five years, and give Lao Tzu a little time to prepare calmly, but the autumn is coming, which is more tense, the fucking house leak is even rainy, and there is a locust disaster this year, which is really sad and killing."
Li Han kept muttering in his heart, the expression on his face was very strange, even Xida Puben could see that his father was absent-minded, Xida was anxious to show Pu Ben the good things in the family, led his brother to fly up into the greenhouse, and introduced Pu Ben to taste the delicious fruits, which is very different from meat.
Tian Qi and Cao Shou looked at Li Han in a daze, Cao Shou still endured the pain, and shook his hand in front of Li Han's eyes, Li Han was still unmoved, Cao Shou slapped him and asked, "What's the matter, you seem to have risen in the day." β
Li Han came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "There are some tricky things in official business. By the way, you hurry up and raise it, I estimate that the time for the two of us to go to Jiangnan will be earlier. β
Cao Shou said excitedly: "Really? Actually, I can go now. β
Li Han rolled his eyes and said, "You can do it, if you don't grow strong, can my aunt rest assured that I will take you away?" Even if my aunt agrees, my second sister won't agree, right? β
Liu Xi blushed and said, "Hanzi, don't make fun of my sister, I can't wait for him to get better and follow you to do serious things." β
In the afternoon, Li Han felt that such a big matter could not be discussed with the emperor, so he took his personal guards into Beijing, Liu Qi read Zhou Yafu's letter, and stared at Li Han for a long time without speaking.
Li Han, who looked at him with this straight look, felt furious in his heart, and asked weakly: "Why does my father look at children so much?" β
"Li Han, is the hairpin county really that rich?"
"yes, didn't the boy tell you about it in detail?"
"In the past, you said that my aunt listened to it in vain, but if you can make Zhou Yafu so satisfied, it is enough to show that the degree of wealth is far beyond my imagination.
It seems that we were really short-sighted in the past, and always felt that the Xiongnu were a bitter cold and barren land, otherwise the Huns would not always invade us in order to grab food and clothing, and now I know that they are too stupid. β
Li Han said with a smile: "Yes, I'll just say that they are holding a golden bowl to eat, there are rich mineral deposits in Hairpin County, and the Huns are stupid, let's exchange the three walnuts and jujube things for their precious cashmere, wool, sheepskin, cowhide, ginseng and deer antler."
Even, in order to exchange for salt and tea bricks, even stallions and iron ore were transported to hairpin county to exchange things, and now Mr. Zhou has opened a horse farm, and iron ore is also refined by our workers into inferior iron pots or other daily necessities and then exchanged with them, and the profits are very amazing. β
Liu Qi sighed: "Yes, it's right to make the best use of things, and someone has to know the goods, fortunately, you are the one who knows the goods."
By the way, how are you going to deal with the war in the fall? β
Li Han rubbed his nose and said: "Father, the matter of marching and fighting still requires experienced veterans to come out, and the children can only provide armaments and logistics materials, don't value me so much, let me lead thousands of troops and horses to fight, we will definitely lose." β
Liu Qi laughed and said: "Hahaha, I thought that after you killed 10,000 enemies with 200, you would feel that you were already a general, but you still knew that you couldn't do it." β
Li Han nodded seriously and said: "Yes, the child was purely a surprise trick, if firearms are used again this time, maybe the Huns will have preventive measures, when it comes to marching and arranging, the child is even more ignorant, it is a matter of national security, how dare the child be arrogant." β
Liu Qi nodded appreciatively and said: "You can understand it so well, my father is very pleased, I will discuss this matter with the Three Princes and Nine Qing Dynasty, and see who to send." β
Li Han said: "Father, the child has a suggestion, you can listen to it and see if it is appropriate, if you think it is feasible, you can discuss it with the three dukes." β
"You speak."
"The imperial court uses troops, and the most taboo is to urgently transfer troops to the battlefield from a distance, in that case, one is a waste of supplies and logistics is not easy to guarantee, and the other is easy to suffer losses in a hurry.
The child felt that the country was relatively stable at present, and there was no sign of turmoil, plus the Eight Great Divisions were already on the right track, the monitoring of unstable factors such as princes and kings had been fully launched, and the control within the army had gradually improved.
Therefore, the garrison of the Gyeonggi generation does not need too much, you can consider gradually transferring troops to the border in batches, stationed in Shangjun, Wuyuan, Beidi, and Zhangye, echoing Li Guangyao, the Taishou of Yunzhong.
This also has the biggest advantage, that is, when the locust plague comes, the consumption of the huge army can be solved by itself in the counties of the northern land that have not been affected, firstly, to relieve the pressure of the imperial court for disaster relief, and secondly, to make them familiar with the climate of the northern land as soon as possible, adapt to the food and terrain there, and there will be no problems when fighting.
Of course, children's considerations are very naΓ―ve, and they may not be appropriate, after all, the Gyeonggi guards are related to the safety of the imperial court, and if you and the third prince think it is not feasible, just do it. β
Liu Qi looked at Li Han with interest and said with a smile: "Your kid has grown up, and now when you talk to your father, you will go around the bend, is it because you are afraid that your father will be afraid that you are too capable?" β
Li Han hurriedly said: "No, no, I really think so." β
It was a matter of national affairs, and it was indeed difficult for Liu Qi to make a decision for a while, and after joking, Li Han said in a deep voice: "This matter really needs to be discussed with the courtiers, and we will talk about it when there is a result." β
"Yes, father, the child has one more thing to ask."
"Hmm."
"It's a matter of armaments and logistics." Li Han said: "Seeing the spring flowers blooming, although we have made a lot of preparations, but the catastrophe is coming at the same time as the war, which is after all a critical juncture for the survival of our Han Dynasty."
Whether it's disaster relief or military equipment, all of them can't do without money!
The child has the heart to go along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the richest people in the south are the salt merchants, they are fat and oily, and now they are eyeing the development of Hangzhou City, and it is not okay not to kill them a few knives to make up for the treasury, do you think it is okay? β
"How are you going to slaughter?"
"Sell land." Li Han said simply: "Although Hangzhou City is still a barren river beach now, according to my plan, it will soon become a prosperous shopping mall, and every inch of land will be valuable in the future."
You've been to the children's market, and who would have predicted that the price of land there would increase a thousandfold five years ago? β
Although he had seen the prosperity of Li Han's market earlier, Liu Qi was still taken aback: "Thousands of times? β
"Yes, the three-story building I built now costs 200,000 yuan to buy, and the bet my father made with the courtiers for me would have won a long time ago!" (To be continued......)
