Chapter 49: The Foundation
"Teacher." After Li Xin left, Du Ruhui suddenly saluted to the opposite room, extremely respectful, and after a while, he saw a thin old man walking over, looking at the direction of Li Xin's departure, and sighed deeply.
"Keming, I want to thank you this time." The old man looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Teacher, thank you this time, otherwise, I really don't know what to do?" ”
"Teacher, General Li is like the reincarnation of an overlord, and now he is even awarded the Commander of Zhichong, and in the future, he will conquer Goguryeo, and he will naturally be ranked as a general, why does the teacher let the disciple say so?" Du Ruhui hesitated for a moment before asking.
"You also used to be a county lieutenant, why did you resign and not do it?" The old man looked at Du Ruhui with a smile and said, "You also know that the world is in turmoil, what is the root cause of this chaos in the world, don't you know?" ”
"Corporal Tang Guogong Lixian enjoys a reputation among the people, and General Li is under his command, so he will naturally have some achievements in the future." Du Ruhui thought about it and said.
"Tang Guogong has three sons, which one do you value the most?" The old man looked at Du Ruhui and said.
"I heard that although Li Ergongzi is young, he has the style of an ancient, which is very rare." Du Ruhui thought for a while and said.
"But he's second in line." The old man said disdainfully: "What's more important is that Tang Guogong is a virtuous corporal on the surface, but in fact, he is suspicious by nature, wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, this person is by no means the master, if Li Xin is put into his command, he will definitely be a great master in the future, and it is normal for the sons to seize the throne, so neither you nor Li Xin can join his command." ”
Du Ruhui's face moved, he knew that the old man in front of him was good at recognizing people, and he had a pair of discerning eyes, since he said Li Yuan and Li Shimin, it would not be fake, but what he didn't know was why he let himself persuade Li Xin. You must know that Li Xin now wants to have a foundation or no foundation, and if he wants to succeed, I am afraid it is not such a simple thing.
?“ Keming, if the old man asks you to assist Li Xin, are you willing? The old man suddenly looked at Du Ruhui, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
Du Ruhui's face hesitated for a while, thought for a while and said, "Why did the teacher let the disciple assist General Li?" ”
"The old man can't say this."
The old man hesitated and said, "Li Xin seems to be just a concubine from the side, but his identity is not simple, and he is definitely worthy of your assistance." To be honest, if you hadn't met him in Daxing, maybe the old man would have asked you to assist Li Shimin. It's a pity that I met him here, and this is fate. ”
Gao Xiaoji, the court's waiter of the Ministry of Rites, maybe Li Xin didn't know this person, but in fact, in history, Gao Xiaoji is famous for being good at discovering talents, in history, he found that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are two people who have the talent of prime ministers, and he really wants to recommend both to Li Xin, but unfortunately, now only Du Ruhui is in Daxing, as for Fang Xuanling is still in Shandong.
"Since the teacher said so, the disciple naturally has nothing to say, but now that General Li has not formed an army on his own, he is still under the command of Tang Guogong, and the disciple thinks that this is not the best time to go." Du Ruhui was a little hesitant, but now that Gao Xiaoji opened his mouth to ask for help, Du Ruhui didn't have any way. After hesitating for a while, Fang said, "Teacher, is the imperial court really hopeless?" ”
"Once His Majesty the Emperor is out of Guanzhong, there will be rebellion." Gao Xiaoji said disdainfully: "He has a good calculation, but unfortunately there are still many smart people in the world." Especially those Guan Long families, if you don't get it this time, the Shandong family will also make a move, Keming, do you know what this means? ”
Du Ruhui has long been pale, there are four major families in the world, namely the Guanlong family, the Guandong family, Jiangnan and Bashu, among which the Guanlong family is the most powerful, followed by the Kanto family, once these two join forces, the world will be half defeated. He suddenly realized that chaos in the world was just around the corner.
Li Xin did not return to Li Yuan's mansion in Daxing City, but went outside the city, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, where Duan Qi led several brothers to work and guard his foundation.
"Childe." Before he reached Zhongnan Mountain, Duan Qi led everyone over, and Li Xin found that there were ten people behind him, but they were dressed as croppers.
"Childe, these brothers are all homeless or nearby hunters, and they want to join Childe's command." Duan Qi glanced at Li Xin with some concern, and said, "It's just that I don't dare to include it without Childe's permission, so I brought it to Childe to see." ”
Li Xin glanced at a few big men, his tiger eyes swept slightly, and he saw that there was still a trace of fear on the faces of several big men, but he didn't have any other reaction, nodded and said, "Yes, when it's okay, you can teach them the way to march and practice." The emperor gave me the rank of lieutenant, and when I turn back, I will give you some military positions according to the emperor, and it will not be in vain for you to follow me. ”
"Congratulations to Childe, congratulations to Childe." Duan Qi's eyes lit up, being able to become a lieutenant or something, although Duan Qi didn't take it to heart, he was still very happy, but a few people around him were very excited, and he finally had a head.
"I've been living here lately, and I'm not going back to Daxing." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "The emperor has rewarded a lot of money, and we just use it here. Li Xin didn't know how to face Li Yuan or Li Xiuning, so he could only hide under Zhongnan Mountain, anyway, he was just ordered by Yang Guang and obeyed Li Yuan's orders, Li Yuan didn't look for himself, so he didn't have to report, and the two thousand elites he did could only be deployed to his subordinates when he was in the Eastern Crusade.
The glass thing is easy to play, but it is not easy to play, and it is not easy to play, and Li Xin must go through many practical actions before it can be. Fortunately, in this era, the most important thing is labor, Li Xin is just doing things himself, but if it is said that looking for things, it is the business of Duan Qi and others.
It took three days, Li Xin was finally able to make the first batch of glass products, glass products that can be used to distill alcohol, the technology is not too mature, Li Xin only made three sets, he decided to give them to Yu Shiji, Li Yuan, and one set was reserved for himself, such hard work, he still decided to keep one set.
Then things are very simple, he divides the glass into three parts, one part is to master the ingredients, one part is calcination, and the other is blowing and molding. In this era, there are no machine tools, no electronic control, although the achievement of glass, the effect is not good, but the quality is far above the products of the Western Regions.
"Childe, look, there's one more me here, it's really amazing!" Duan Qi looked at the big mirror in front of him, smooth as water waves, extremely calm, even the pores on his face could be seen, he was extremely surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but cheer.
"Although it's good, it's a pity that it can only be made into such a big mirror, which is still a little less." Li Xin felt a little pity.
Duan Qi said: "Childe, this is a magic skill, even if Lu Ban is alive, it can't be made, and it's already very good to be able to make one side." And it is to be dedicated to the emperor, the world is so big, it can only be this side. ”
"Okay, clean up, let's go back to Daxing." Li Xin looked at a pile of small glass mirrors in the distance, as if he had seen a mountain of gold.
