Chapter Eighty-Seven: Life After the War

The ashes of those who died were sent to their relatives by the Ministry of War one by one, and they were also sent to the pension of the imperial court, as for those who had no family, Li Yong put all of them in the martyrs' cemetery in Xishan, and he also let those disabled veterans move their families to the workshop in Xishan, which can be regarded as a settlement for them, because the pension of the imperial court is not much, those disabled veterans have lost their ability to work, and their lives are even more difficult. The official has been knighted, Li Yong was not only promoted to the knighthood this time, but also promoted to the official, and the scattered official was promoted to the captain of Zhaowu, and he also added the official position in the arsenal to sign the order, and he was promoted to three levels, he is now regarded as a formal official position on the sixth grade, but Li Yong has not reported it because he is injured, and the officials have not urged him to save face, anyway, it is not an important position in the arsenal on the sixth grade, Li Yong also reported to Li Er in detail the situation in Songzhou at that time, and told him the doubts in his heart, Li Er also comforted him and said that he was already investigating, but these people were too clean, and there were no clues, Li Yong also knew that these people dared to intercept the military report of the imperial court, they must be powerful people, where would they leave any clues to others, this matter can only be investigated slowly, of course, Li Yong can't just rely on the imperial court, after all, this matter has made him more vigilant, and he ordered the old bachelor to launch a dark line investigation in Chang'an.

"The subordinates were incompetent and didn't kill him on the road."

"This can't be blamed on you, after all, he also has a lot of good hands around him to protect, plus he has made a lot of noise along the way, he can't just want to protect himself, and don't let you have a chance to start, we also underestimate him, you watch closely and kill him at every opportunity."

In fact, Li Yong didn't know that someone was going to assassinate him, this high-profile return was not what they thought, it can be said that it was a mistake that allowed Li Yong to escape this assassination, Li Yong didn't read a book leisurely in the yard every day, if it wasn't for practicing martial arts and exercising, Zheng Liwan didn't do anything every day at the beginning, so she took care of him wholeheartedly, and then Li Yong asked her to be busy with Xishan's affairs, after all, this is the most important thing, Zheng Liwan also saw that he was fine, Xishan still had a lot of things to deal with her, so she started her strong woman form again, Li Lizhen and Li Xueyan came to him every three or five days, Li Er and Li Xiaogong both opened their eyes and closed their eyes, anyway, after the New Year, they have reached the age of marriage, as long as they don't do too much trouble, they don't bother to care, after all, their daughters have grown up, and they can't take care of it, and Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhixuan, and Niu Jinda, who have a good relationship with him, also come to him occasionally, because the tea, food, and wine in Li Yong's house are too attractive, and at the beginning, Cheng Yanjin did these things that couldn't eat and walk, Duan Zhixuan and Niu Jinda couldn't do such things, Later, the two of them were also shameless, and learned that Cheng Biting Jin was eating, drinking, and taking, and Li Yong was afraid of them. Today, Li Jing and Xu Shiji came to Li Yong's courtyard.

"Old two, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what are the instructions for coming to my boy's humble house today?"

Li Jing and Xu Shiji glanced at Li Yong's courtyard, and then said teasingly.

"If you say this is a humble house, then we live in a thatched hut."

Li Yong's courtyard is not very large, it covers an area of more than three acres, not as good as those who occupy more than a dozen acres at every turn, but Li Yong's place is not big, but the rockery and flowing water, all kinds of flowers and forests are particularly elegant, and the windows are made of glass (glass), in Li Yong's eyes are some worthless things, but in the eyes of Li Jing and these ancients, it is a priceless thing, every time Li Yong is mentioned that his courtyard is the best courtyard in the entire Chang'an City except for the palace, he shakes his head and denies.

"Two marshals, can we stop going around the bend? If you have something to say, just say it. ”

"I discussed with you before about what kind of military rations, the court agreed, I want to buy 100,000 yuan to try, how much do you think you can give?"

Li Yong calculated, the compressed biscuits because there is no vacuum packaging and desiccant, the shelf life is about a week, his black army uses, are all packed in glass jars, and then sealed with cowhide to seal the bottle mouth to keep it for a longer time, Li Yong has also done experiments, if you use clay pot sealing, although the preservation time is not as good as glass, but it can be shelved for about three months, so counting the cost, Li Yong quickly calculated how much money to make by preparing one.

"Dashuai, compressed biscuits have an expiration date, and they will deteriorate after the expiration date, so you can't eat them anymore, and I use a clay pot to seal them, so the shelf life can be about three months."

"Three months, yes, then how much can you give?"

"There are ten pieces in a clay pot for one piece, and I can provide five thousand copies for one hundred thousand, you think you can, and you can pick up the goods after half a month."

Li Jing and Xu Shiji calculated it for a while to calculate a piece of compressed biscuits for five cents, the price is okay, they don't know, as long as these things are made in large quantities, a piece will cost a penny, Li Yong will earn four cents a piece, which is considered a black-hearted businessman, but Li Yong thinks it should be, after all, this is to collect intellectual property rights, Li Jing and Xu Shiji soon signed a contract with Li Yong, and the Xishan Workshop that received the order immediately started, and it was delivered on time after half a month, Zheng Liwan also cleared the goods with the military department of the imperial court. 100,000 yuan is a small amount of money for Li Yong and her, but it can be regarded as a channel to open military products, because they believe that with the current military needs, Xishan's things must be the best, since those generals and generals tried compressed biscuits, they have asked the military department for the only 5,000 compressed biscuits, so that the military department and the civil department Yali Mountain is big, and in the end, Li Er directly made a decision, added 5,000 copies, and first distributed the border pass, which calmed down. The New Year is approaching, Li Yong received the good news that he has been thinking about it in his heart, that is, the Imperial Shipyard has found wood, and the keel of the first 18,000 main ship has begun to be laid, and it is going very smoothly, Li Yong waved his pen on the blank rice paper - Admiral, this is the name he gave to the first main ship, he plans to go to Xinhuating County after the New Year, Li Yong looked at the courtyard that was already white and said.

"Another year has passed, the plan is proceeding in an orderly manner, and every year I hope to launch and set sail."

However, Li Yong also knows that with the current technology, it is unrealistic to be able to build this 18,000-material giant ship every year, even if it is built, it will be tested for training, and there is a step, but he is not in a hurry now, the Turks are exterminated, Tuyuhun is pressed and rubbed by Tubo, and the two countries have no time to deal with Datang, so the current Datang can be said to have no foreign enemies for the time being, and the domestic environment is also stable. Li Yong was reluctantly arranged, or Li Er ordered him to participate, he had never participated in the court meeting, but when he heard that he wanted to go to court, he was going to get up, it was three o'clock in the morning, Li Yong, who was still asleep, was pulled up by Zheng Liwan, Xiaoxue, and Chunlan from the warm quilt, and then combed his hair and clothes, the dark green official robe that Li Yong disliked to the extreme was put onto his body, and the three girls saw Li Yong wearing an official uniform for the first time, although it was a dark green six-grade official uniform, Regardless of Li Yong's height of one meter and eight meters, coupled with his masculine body type, he is indescribably handsome, Li Yong wears a short-eared black gauze hat, wears a dark green official robe, has a silver belt wrapped around his waist, hangs a silverfish bag with his identity around his waist, and wears black deerskin long shoes on his feet, the whole person has an official taste, Li Yong yawned and held a jade plate and was pushed into the carriage by the three girls, Li Yong gnawed on the breakfast prepared for him by Chunlan on the carriage, Li Yong didn't understand why the ancients didn't eat breakfast in the early dynasty, and later understood that it was too long to go to the toilet when he went to the court. So I'd rather be hungry than eat, but Li Yong didn't care so much, the buns even ate several, and drank a bowl of soy milk to be considered alive, the day is not yet dawn, the weather is still so cold, don't eat something hot, Li Yong feels that people are almost gone, the door of the fang has already received a notice from his house to open, Li Yong's carriage went out of the fang without any obstacles, and when he arrived at the palace, it was already crowded, Li Yong whispered "I'm", Li Yong couldn't help but be embarrassed when he saw these activists, in fact, he was not only, The annual work summary meeting, the officials above the seventh grade in Beijing are coming, and the history of each state is also coming, Li Yong does not join in the fun, let Li Tiezhu drive to the side immediately, and make up for sleep in the car, just when he was sleeping in a daze, the carriage sank, Li Yong vigilantly opened his eyes, and saw a black face pasted in front of him, a habitual punch, the black face quickly dodged, and then said angrily.

"I said you kid, why did you come to recruit as soon as you met?"

Li Yong saw clearly that it was Cheng Biting Jin's house, Cheng Biting Jin was able to dodge Li Yong's cupola, in fact, he was the same as the original Gundam, looking at him when Li Yong was sleeping, he was directly bombarded by Li Yong's cupola into a single-eyed blind person, and later Cheng Biting Jin learned to be smart, so he didn't get hit, as for Cheng Biting Jin can find Li Yong's carriage among the many carriages, it is because his carriage is too unique, the glazed windows, the entire body and wheels are made of steel, Cheng Biting Jin asked Li Yong to get one for him more than once, Every time, Li Yong didn't ask him for a million yuan to send away.

"I said Lao Cheng, don't get close to me at every turn, you don't know that I am good at killing people in my dreams."

"Don't talk to me about this uselessness, I thought you wouldn't come today, I didn't think you would participate."

"There's no way, the saint ordered me to come, can I still come?"

Li Yong was very helpless, Li Yong's carriage was not only big, but also very warm, Cheng Yanjin skillfully opened the secret compartment of the carriage, took out the dim sum and pastries hidden in it and ate them, Li Yong didn't bother to pay attention to him, after all, he and Cheng Yanjin didn't know each other, and they also liked his character.

"Do you still have that compressed biscuit? My Zuo Jin Wuwei didn't get a single one this time. ”

"I can't control this matter, I want to let the military department spend money to buy it, as long as you have money, I want more here."

Of course, Cheng Yanjin knew that this was the case, but he just wanted to complain, the two chatted in the carriage for a while, and finally heard the sound of Jin about to enter the palace, Li Yong and Cheng Yanjin both got out of the carriage and sorted out the clothes on their bodies, after all, today is the last court meeting this year, and they don't want to be impeached by the Yanguan for being untidy, Cheng Yanjin is a second-class military general and a national prince, so he can't be lined up with Li Yong, so Li Yong himself slowly and leisurely followed the team into the palace.
