After some inspection, this progress is still quite satisfactory to Li Hao, and some of the materials have been transported back to the manor, that is, the place where Emperor Wen originally rewarded him.

The rest of the materials are also being sent one after another, and the construction of siege equipment can start at any time.

Of course, Li Hao is going to invite the crown prince, if he can let him come for a trip, it would be best, if not, he would have to give specific orders.

Although Emperor Wen let himself do it, it is not a bad thing to guard a little more, at least it can block the mouths of those imperial historians.

However, the East Palace is still located in the palace, although there is a separate palace ban, but it is not so easy for Li Hao to see the prince.

So Li Hao planned to return to the mansion and write a note to send it to the East Palace to explain the request, but as soon as Li Hao came back, he heard that the Cui family, the Yue family, and the Wang family had sent people to send posts, inviting Li Hao to come to the house when he had time.

For their thoughts, Li Hao couldn't understand that he just wanted to get a hand in the white paper business.

Li Hao originally planned to meet them, but after all, this blank paper business was not something that the Yuan family could eat alone, even if it was tied to the Qu and Liang families.

It's just that Li Hao didn't rush to reply, let them wait a few days first, and when their patience was almost exhausted, it would be easier to discuss cooperation matters.

And there are not many blank papers that Li Hao is ready to sell now, so he has to give them the impression that this production is not easy.

After receiving Li Hao's request, the prince readily agreed, saying that he would leave the palace tomorrow and go to the production place with Li Hao to have a look.

In addition, he ordered someone to send Li Hao a palace ban on entering and leaving the East Palace, saying that he might need to meet frequently during this time, and he was not good at leaving the palace at will, so he asked Li Hao to enter the palace to report if he had something.

This is really convenient, Li Hao is still very happy about this, and he also feels that this prince may be indecisive, but he is still reasonable in dealing with people.

Early the next morning, Li Hao went to the gate of the palace to wait for the prince to come out, and it didn't take long to see the prince's carriage driving out of the palace, followed by the prince's guards of more than 100 people.

It is estimated that the prince has explained, so when Li Hao greeted him and saluted, he was not hindered, but when the prince lifted the curtain and spoke, Li Hao found that Ling Budo also came out with him.

When he was in doubt, he saw the prince explain: "I am very interested in military affairs, and yesterday I knew that I was going to supervise the construction of siege ordnance with you, so I begged my father to let him go with us, but I forgot to tell you in advance." ”

In this way, it is indeed understandable, after all, Ling Budo is indeed very interested in ordnance, but this interest is based on the fact that the lonely city was attacked early because it was stolen and exchanged for ordnance.

As for Emperor Wen's agreement, it is even more surprising, after all, to a certain extent, Emperor Wen's love for Ling Budo is only stronger than that of the crown prince and the three princes combined.

"I see, then let us set out, and let my carriage lead the way." Li Hao replied.

Seeing that the prince had no opinion, Li Hao stepped forward and boarded his carriage, that is, the parts that Li Hao originally carried could only be worn far behind, and it was not good to get too close to the prince.

After traveling for about two hours, Li Hao and his party arrived at the place, where they received a message from Li Hao yesterday and were ready to greet them early.

So when Li Hao and the prince got out of the carriage, they saw that the manor had been artificially divided into several areas, each stacked with wood and a series of axes and planing tools.

As for the people in the manor, they were also gathered in an open space in the manor to greet the prince, and the troops brought by Li Hao stood at the front, and the original people in the manor stood at the back.

There is no way, who let a lot of people want the prince to have an accident, this manor was given by Emperor Wen, the Yuan family is not good at adjusting personnel on a large scale, who knows if there will be a secret child buried by others, it is better to be safer.

It wasn't until the prince's guards came in to take over the defense that Li Hao asked the prince to come forward to speak and encourage everyone, and then everyone who had already been assigned tasks went to their own areas to do things under the prince's order.

At this time, Li Hao's purpose of inviting the prince over today was achieved, and he immediately invited them to move to the main house to drink tea.

The crown prince had no problem with this, after all, he was not a person with a lot of curiosity, and he was not interested in military affairs.

Seeing that the prince was about to agree, Ling Budo on the side preemptively said: "May I ask Yuan Gongzi, what kind of equipment is being made here." ”

Hearing this, Li Hao first looked at the prince, after all, he was the biggest here.

However, obviously the prince didn't want to sweep away Ling Budo's interest, so he said: "Since there is no doubt, then Yuan Gongzi might as well help introduce it, it just so happens that I can also increase my knowledge." ”

Li Hao replied: "Okay, those two please come with me." With that, he got up and guided the two of them a little closer to the parts that were working, so that they could see more clearly, of course, the distance between them was still maintained, so that they could easily see some details, but they could ensure safety.

In addition, Li Hao also asked his subordinates to get the drawings of two instruments and handed them to Ling Budo and the prince.

Then he correspondedly introduced: "What is done here today can be roughly divided into four types: rushing cars, wooden curtains, moat bridges, and ladders, but the actual use in battle formations will vary according to the situation of their respective cities."

The production here is built according to the situation of the city walls of the capital, which is convenient for His Majesty to verify at that time.

For example, the current rushing car, the car is several feet high, the car is divided into five floors, each floor has a ladder to go up and down, and there is a pedal that can be stretched out on the city wall at the top.

At that time, the whole car could carry more than 100 soldiers, and it was equipped with bows, crossbows, guns, halberds, knives and spears and other weapons and equipment for destroying the city walls.

When the attack came, as long as the cart was pushed to the foot of the city, the roof of the cart could be level with the city wall, and the soldiers rushed to the city through the pedal to fight the enemy, and the car underneath destroyed the city wall with tools such as hitting wood, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Then changed to the area where the Hao Bridge was made, Li Hao introduced to the atlas: "This is the Hao Bridge used to pass through the moat, its length is subject to Hao, there are two big wheels in front of the bridge, and two small wheels are behind it. If it is wide, then use a folding bridge, that is, connect the two bridges, and there is a hinge in the middle, and the usage is the same. ”

Later, Li Hao also explained to the two of them about the ladder and the curtain, but obviously the two didn't listen too much.

But this is also normal, after all, these two people have not been to the battlefield yet, and they have never seen anything like it before, and now just listening to the explanation, it is naturally not easy to form a concept in their minds.

So Li Hao said at the end: "Because the city walls of the capital are too tall, it is estimated that it will take nearly 20 days to make these completely, and when it is built, you can see the real thing." ”

Hearing this, the prince of Mihu suddenly asked: "It will take such a long time, I read the battle report sent by Xuzhou, you have not used so long from the beginning to the end of the siege of the thief village?" ”

Li Hao replied: "How can the scale of the wall of the thief's village be as large as that of the capital, at that time, the car was just a layer of protection, far less complicated than what it is doing now." ”

At this point, the benefits of the prince are revealed, at least he can listen to what he says, especially for areas that he is not familiar with.

So after hearing Li Hao's answer, the prince didn't ask any more, but said: "Okay, you are most familiar with these things, so I won't say anything."

But if you need my help, come directly to the East Palace to find me. ”

After finishing speaking, the prince looked at Ling Budo and asked, "Is there anything else you want to know?" ”

Ling Budo shook his head, he already knew the general situation here, as for what to do with the specific things, he was not interested in knowing.

That's what the craftsman should do, he just needs to know how to use it, and he needs to wait until the real thing comes out.

So this time the prince was finally able to sit down in the main house and rest, and then have lunch in the manor before leaving for the capital.

In the days that followed, neither of them came to the manor again, only Li Hao came to the manor every once in a while to inspect, and then entered the East Palace to report the progress to the prince.

In this way, Li Hao also has spare time to think about how to stir up the marriage between Qu Lengjun and Liang Shang.

Not to mention, at this time, Li Hao really remembered one thing, that is, the identity of Liang Shang and Liang Yao.

You must know that whether it is in the play or in the play, Liang Yuan was originally just the concubine of Liang Taigong, so Liang Shanggang was actually just a concubine when he was born, and later because he gave birth to Liang Shang, he was promoted by Liang Taigong and became the main room by continuing to marry another family.

It is precisely because of this that Liang Shang and Liang Yao can now be regarded as sons-in-law.

Of course, even if this is the case, it is actually nothing, after all, no one stipulates that the dead concubine cannot be married, and there is the Zhao Xiangzi who shocked the Spring and Autumn Period, he is also a concubine, who dares to look down on him.

I remember that there was also Emperor Xiaowu of this dynasty, and that was only later from the concubine to the concubine, so as long as it is really true, the Qu family may complain about two sentences, but there may not be much reaction.

But the current situation is that the Liang family doesn't know what it is for, and it seems that they have been hiding it from beginning to end, at least Li Hao has never heard of it from others.

After all, according to the news that Li Hao heard, the Qu family was not very happy about this marriage, but they were reluctant to do it because they wanted to maintain the relationship between the two families, and now they encountered something that was deliberately concealed, so there was no pimple in their hearts.

Of course, these fears alone are not enough, who made Qu Lengjun too sensible, Li Hao was worried that even if it was like this, she would endure it in the end for the sake of the relationship between the two families.

So I have to arrange a reason for Qu Lengjun to refuse, and at this time, it is time for the prince to appear.

If you want to say that the reason why the prince let go of Qu Lengjun at that time, one is that Qu Lengjun is unwilling to be subservient, and the prince himself does not want to embarrass her.

And another reason is that I don't know about the marriage of the two families of Liang Qu, coupled with Qu Lengjun's own talent and appearance, I think that even if Qu Lengjun doesn't marry him, he can find a good family to marry.

If the prince knows about this, and knows the conduct of Liang Shang and Liang Yao, with the character of the prince, it will definitely be impossible to sit idly by.

As for Qu Lengjun's side, she and the prince have had a relationship after all, it is the first love, so it won't be completely forgotten in more than a year.

At that time, it would be best if Qu Lengjun could be sent to the East Palace, so that the prince would be able to do more steadily in the court with the help of Yuan, Liang, and Qu.

And for the Yuan, Liang, and Qu families, they can also take this opportunity to reach out to the center, and when the time comes, they will pull a group of families under the banner of the prince, and they may not be afraid of those heroes.

As for the Sun family, it is really not worth mentioning, with her stupid and vicious temperament, it is estimated that Li Hao and them don't need to make a move, just Qu Lengjun can clean her up.

Of course, in order to accomplish this, Emperor Wen's attitude is very crucial, if he is really the same as Li Hao thought at the beginning, and does not want the prince to get too much help, then Li Hao has no choice.

But it is also a good thing to be able to find out Emperor Wen's attitude and liberate Qu Lengjun.

And the main thing is that it is not difficult to do, as long as people spread the news in the market and let the Qu family and the prince know.

The only trouble is that it is not easy for Li Hao to pick himself out in it, after all, the Liang family must know about this matter.

Although the Liang family did not tell me the news to Li Hao, the people of the Liang family may not believe it. After all, Li Hao is now in the capital, and when the news spreads, the people of the Liang family will definitely suspect Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't care about the suspicions of other people, anyway, whether he passed it on or not, Liang Yuan, Liang Shang, and Liang Yao didn't have a good face for themselves, and with the skills of these two brothers, it is estimated that he would not need their help.

Only Liang Wuji's side needs to be scrupulous, but fortunately, he is a smart person, and he can talk about evidence and logic in his judgments, such a person has to deal with it, Li Hao is quite experienced, and it is much easier to deal with than Liang Yuan's unreasonable stirring up three points.

In order to ensure secrecy, this matter cannot be handed over to the descendants of the Yuan family, but this little thing is not difficult for Li Hao.

Over the years, Li Hao has secretly collected a group of people to settle in the capital in the name of business, and these people have not had much intersection with the Yuan family, so naturally they will not be associated with him.

So that night, Li Hao wrote two orders, and even in order to be cautious, although Li Hao set the rule of burning after reading, Li Hao still wrote the order on the bamboo slip.

Then early the next morning, Li Hao handed over the two orders to them in accordance with the pre-set communication method.

Soon, the matter of Liang Yao and Liang Shang spread in the capital, and the mixed truth revealed the true faces of these two people.

After Li Hao heard the news on the road, he immediately pretended to have just heard it, and immediately rushed to the Liang Mansion.

After seeing Liang Wuji, Li Hao immediately said: "Uncle Tang, I don't know if you have heard the rumors outside, has the Liang family offended anyone recently?" ”
