During the few days of rest, Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi often came over, and sometimes brought the whole family to eat together, which made Li Hao, Wan and Cheng familiar with each other.

And Li Hao also noticed that when these two people came to find him, they basically picked Yuan Pei when he was not there, and this sense of proportion was very good.

Although I know that Yuan Pei's factor will definitely not be left behind in this friendship, at least in terms of personal senses, it will be much more comfortable.

Soon, the people who came from Jiaodong to hand over the prisoners arrived, and Li Hao found Yuan Pei after handing over the comers, hoping that he could pick another bandit den for himself to fight.

But he didn't think that Yuan Pei had arranged another matter for himself: "Put aside the matter of attacking the thieves for the time being, you go to the capital first, and personally present this thing to Your Majesty." ”

Li Hao looked at the familiar book in front of him, and his heart moved, since Yuan Pei asked him to send this paper instead of re-transcribing it on the bamboo slips, it proved that Yuan Pei still decided to push the paper out.

That's fine, at least it will be much more convenient for Li Hao to write again in the future, and he doesn't have to bring so many cumbersome things.

But then thinking of Yuan Pei's words, Li Hao's face suddenly collapsed, because he really didn't want to go all the way to the capital.

Of course, Li Hao knew that it was beneficial to show his face in front of Emperor Wen, and this time he might be able to use this credit to officially enter the office.

But Li Hao still didn't want to go, because in this era, there is no emphasis on seniority, and the emperor appoints officials mainly based on fame and ability.

Li Hao is not Ling Budo, he is only afraid that he will have to spend a few years in the barnyard officials and petty officials if he joins the ranks early, so why bother.

Anyway, as long as this book is sent, I can't run away from my own credit, so it's better to wait a few more years and raise some fame by myself before being recommended to the office.

Or take the military route, after all, there are still wars to be fought in Longxi and Shudi, and it is good to go directly to the middle level as soon as you enter the office.

So Li Hao replied: "I brought those parts from Jiaodong, it's not good to just let them go, let me stay and continue to take them."

As for going to the capital to deliver books, my father arranged for others to go, and it was enough for me to pick some troops who could skillfully build these siege equipment and use them to accompany them. ”

Yuan Pei replied when he heard this: "If it's just one thing to deliver books, it doesn't hurt if I send other people to go, the reason why you are allowed to go is because there is another thing for you to do."

Your cousin is now on his way to the capital, and when you arrive in the capital, go and look for him and explain the matter to him.

As for the troops you have brought with you, after you go to the capital, I will send them back to Jiaodong. ”

"Why does Uncle Cousin also want to go to the capital, isn't it that the imperial court has a new appointment for him, where is he going to serve?" Li Hao grabbed the key point and asked.

Yuan Pei replied: "Your Majesty summons your cousin to the capital, naturally there are arrangements, but the specific position will be awarded has not been determined.

However, according to His Majesty's habits, most of them will still be arranged to serve in the local government, but I don't know where to serve as the state pastor. ”

Hearing this, Li Haoxin said, you don't know about this, but I know it.

If nothing else, Liang Wuji should go to Yuzhou to take office this time, and then until the end of the plot.

If you say that, you really have to run by yourself, after all, it is inconvenient for others to spread the word about this matter.

Since he was sure to go, there were some bottom lines that he had to understand clearly, so Li Hao asked: "Then what should I say to my uncle and His Majesty about this matter, and ask my father to show me?" ”

Yuan Pei replied: "Since outsiders don't know about this papermaking technique, you might as well exaggerate the cost, my idea is that paper can replace bamboo slips in the next few years, but it will not be popularized to the cold door, and the specific scale is you can grasp by yourself."

In addition, since we made this paper, this rubbing technique should not have been discovered by us, so we should not mention this matter whether it is facing Your Majesty or your cousin, not even your mother.

In the future, if someone can think that it is someone else's ability, we can take advantage of the situation to help them, so that even if something happens in the future, we will not be angered by others, but will win a good reputation.

But if no one has done the rubbing technique after the paper has replaced the bamboo slips, then you can ask your cousin to do it. ”

In the face of Yuan Pei's statement, Li Hao expressed his understanding, there is no need to mention Emperor Wen's side, the relationship between the emperor and the family is one of mutual use, and it is normal to do so.

As for the Yuan family and the Liang family, although they are good in-laws, they are still two families after all, even if the Liang family is the bride of the Yuan family, the surname is Liang, although Yuan Peifang's hand is unreasonable, but it is also expected.

Li Hao has seen too much about this kind of relationship, and he didn't feel too strange, so he said: "The child respects the teachings, please rest assured that father." ”

Seeing that Li Hao agreed, Yuan Pei continued: "In addition, regarding the personnel arrangement of the paper mill, I know that your idea is to let this group of captives go back to the workshop to do things, and I think there is something wrong with this matter."

After all, if this paper is sold more in the future, the wealth of this mountain reclamation will naturally attract greedy people, and they will inevitably try to steal the formula of papermaking in every possible way.

This group of captives is easy to control, but you can't really keep them in the workshop forever, completely cut off from outsiders.

In this way, the risk of exposing the method of production is too great, so I have sent a message to your mother asking him to send a credible person from the clan with a clean background into the workshop.

These people have the concern of their parents, wives and children, and the more they worry, the more they naturally dare not be presumptuous, so as to better protect and ensure that the secrets of the paper mill are not known by others.

As for this group of captives, I will arrange for you to be in the manor, and it just so happens that you need to bring some guards with you to the capital this time, and they will make up for your lack of labor. ”

Since Yuan Pei had arranged this matter, Li Hao also believed in Yuan Pei's vision, so he only said: "The child understands, then I will go back to pack my things, transfer the parts, and then rush to the capital as soon as possible." ”

Leaving Yuan Pei's camp, Li Hao went to his own camp as soon as possible, summoned a group of commanders, and said: "I called you here today because I have something to say, and I will leave here in two days and go to the capital."

I will send a group of guards with you, and the rest will remain at my father's orders. ”

Speaking of this, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other, not understanding why Li Hao was about to leave here all of a sudden, so whether he could return to Jiaodong on time.

However, the strict discipline that Li Hao has always demanded made everyone have a stomach full of questions, but before Li Hao spoke, no one dared to ask questions.

Li Hao was still satisfied with this situation, Li Hao said: "Of course, those who stay will also return before spring ploughing, and I also explained this to my father."

As for the people who go to the capital with me, don't worry, the captives captured this time will be supplied to the manors to help spring ploughing after returning to Jiaodong, and then the manors will let them focus on helping you, and they will definitely not miss the agricultural time. ”

Seeing Li Hao's arrangement, everyone couldn't help but feel much more steady, and then Li Hao asked them to step back first and wait for their own transfer instructions.

The selection work in the back is not difficult, because when Li Hao first compiled the training part, he had a roster to record everyone's drill results.

Li Hao called the clerks under the account, directly gave him the roster, and asked him to select a hundred people to come out, and he went back to the house to arrange the entourage.

After all, this official matter cannot be delayed, but Li Hao doesn't want to wronged himself personally, and the people around him still have to choose the one who is happy.

As a result, not long after Li Hao returned home, Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi came to visit, which made Li Hao angry, thinking that his subordinates were not strict and revealed that they were leaving.

Although this is not a big deal, this style is far from Li Hao's requirements, and he can't help but plan to wait for himself to come back to rectify military discipline.

But after Li Hao saw the two of them, he realized that he had misunderstood, these two people came not to know that Li Hao was leaving, but to get the task and have to go out to suppress the bandits, so they came to say goodbye to Li Hao.

Li Hao replied when he heard this: "It's a pity that I have to go to the capital now, otherwise I will definitely go with me to see the demeanor of the two generals, what a pity."

Why don't I give a big gift to the two generals before leaving? ”

When Wan Songbai heard this, he roughly guessed what Li Hao was going to do in the capital, but Cheng Shi didn't know what he meant, and asked, "Yuan Gongzi wants to go to the capital, why is it?" ”

Li Hao replied: "The main thing is for the siege equipment of that day, and its power and effect are also known to the two generals."

When I returned, I informed my father of this, and he asked me to go and present the treasure to His Majesty, so that the army of the imperial court could reduce the losses if they attacked the city again.

And the great gift I want to give you is like this, since this thing is going to be presented to Your Majesty, and the court garrison will learn it in the future, it is better to use it for the two of you in advance.

It just so happens that when I go to the capital this time, there will be a group of troops left for the time being, and then I will order some people to help in the two camps, how about it? ”

The two were naturally happy and thanked them repeatedly, after all, who wouldn't want to do something that their own family could reduce casualties for themselves.

After being happy, the two asked when Li Hao was going to leave, and after learning that Li Hao was pressed for time, they didn't bother anymore, and only said that they would come to thank Li Hao after he came back.

The follow-up preparations went very smoothly, after all, this time it was easy to car, and there was nothing bulky to carry.

Because siege equipment is not like agricultural tools such as Quyuan plows, such bulky things cannot cross more than a thousand miles and be sent to the capital.

Therefore, if you want to demonstrate it to Emperor Wen at that time, you can only make it directly outside the capital.

So Li Hao waited for a few carriages, loaded with the necessities of life all the way, and set off.

Starting from Tan County, if you want to go to Luoyang, you need to cross Yuzhou, and you will pass through Pengchengguo, Peiguo, Liangguo, and Chenliu County in the middle.

This road happened to be the heart of Yuzhou, thinking that it would be roughly the area under Liang Wuji's jurisdiction after that, Li Hao also spent some time checking it.

The situation here is better than that in Qingzhou, although I also heard the news of bandits along the road, but in fact, Li Hao's party has not really encountered it.

Of course, there should also be Li Hao and his entourage who are all strong men, and they don't look like they are carrying much treasure, and most of the thieves are reluctant to come and fight hard.

It has been two years since Li Hao accompanied Yuan Pei to present a gift last time, and it seems that there has not changed much in the appearance of Luoyang City.

After entering the city, Li Hao immediately sent someone to deliver the Shangshu written by Yuan Pei to Shangshu Ling, and then Emperor Wen could only see Shangshu come to summon him.

After all, Li Hao is now a white body, and he is not qualified to meet directly.

He returned to Yuan's mansion, planning to rest for a day, and by the way, he asked someone to go to Liang's house to inquire about the news, see if Liang Wuji had arrived, and hand him a post after arriving.

waited for the report from his subordinates, saying that Liang Wuji had arrived in the capital, and in addition to Liang Wuji, Liang Yuan, Liang Shang, Liang Yao and others were also in the capital.

This made Li Hao wonder, it is said that these people should not be staying in Hedong, why did they all come over suddenly.

Could it be that Emperor Wen asked for it, this is also in the past, after all, the Liang family did install someone with a master in Luoyang, but if this is the case, the family should also be notified.

Forget it, Li Hao is too lazy to think about it, anyway, he will go over tomorrow, just ask directly.

But the thought of dealing with the three idiots of Liang Yuan, Liang Shang, and Liang Yao made Li Hao's brain ache for a while.

Because Li Hao has accompanied his mother to the Liang family several times in the past, after dealing with them personally, Li Hao knows that they are even more stupid and ignorant than in the TV series.

Among them, Liang Shang is somewhat better, although his brain is also not bright, but at least he knows that he still has it, on the other hand, Liang Yao is stupid and does not know it, such a person is especially annoying.

However, Li Hao is still a junior, and it is not good to make the scene too ugly, which will affect the friendship between the Yuan and Liang families.

It's just another headache, and the next morning Li Hao still went to Liang's house as promised, but at the door, Li Hao found that in addition to himself, there should be other people who also came, because there were several carriages parked outside the door.

After getting closer, Li Hao recognized that this was the Qu family's carriage, and his heart suddenly moved, thinking that it would not be such a coincidence.

Because the crown prince had officially married Sun as the crown princess two years ago, the marriage between Qu Lengjun and Liang Shang had not been carried out.

Calculating the time, it should be about the same, but Li Hao doesn't understand, if it is really the Liang family, it stands to reason that he should go to Hedong.

After all, Liang Wuji should have been given a temporary notice when he came to the capital, why did the composer also follow him to the capital, could it be that he was going to play for someone.

Although he was puzzled, Li Hao's footsteps did not stop, and he walked directly to the door of the Liang family's mansion.

And the people of the Liang family outside the door naturally knew Li Hao, and when they saw Li Hao coming, they stepped forward to greet him and guide Li Hao into the house.

On the way, Li Hao casually asked, "The carriage outside belongs to the Qu family, right?" It's such a coincidence, did they come to find my cousin today, will I be disturbed when I come over! ”

The servant replied: "That's the Qu family's carriage, and they often come to discuss things with the head of the family these days.

But the head of the house said that you can bring him directly to see him when you come, so don't bother. ”

Li Hao nodded when he heard this, and then didn't speak again, but he was thinking about whether to stir up this marriage.
