Chapter Twenty-Eight: Emperor Li Yuan
It is the gods who are dedicated to the people, not saints, and saints must eat well before they can worry about the country and the people, as for Xiao Han, he is not a saint, he can contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he is naturally willing, of course, if he can get some benefits for himself, wouldn't it be even more wonderful......
Author's words: But what you just said was spurned?!
Xiao Hanyu: It's a big difference, it's a big difference! Intellectual property is a law that everyone must follow, and if everyone wants to copy, then who is responsible for creating? Creators must be given benefits in order to mobilize more and better creators!!
After a short break, Xiao Lizi and the others who came in a hurry left in a hurry, Xiao Han was drawing on the ground with great interest at this time, and he didn't have time to take care of the two of them.
The old blacksmith and others, including the master carpenter, no longer dared to despise this young man, and they all came around to watch.
Just a few days after becoming an official, Xiao Han, who had been rewarded again, couldn't be in a very good mood, at this moment he was lying on the ground drawing a cylindrical thing, more than ten inches long, with a flat head, a slender body, and three deep grooves embedded in it, like a unique weapon!
The old blacksmith touched his chin and took a closer look, and then sighed: "Chief Xiao, but you want to make a weapon?" ”
Xiao Han squatted on the ground, first finished drawing the handle seriously, and then turned around and said, "Yes, master, look at it, how is this weapon?" ”
After that, I also looked at my own works with great satisfaction, and the paintings he painted were almost canonized by later generations*, and have always been known for killing people quickly and making them convenient!
But the old blacksmith stared at the painting and frowned, as if he had a toothache, "Shhhh Manager Xiao can call me Lao Zhao, but the master really doesn't dare to be it! Well, this weapon looks like an image, it's good, it cleverly avoids the advantages of the hand knife, it can't cut the flesh and break the rope, well, it also just avoids the specialty of the long knife, and it can't chop and cut... I wonder why Mr. Xiao wants such a long awl? ”
"You!" Xiao Han was commented on by the old blacksmith, and almost fainted, the murderous weapon that terrified the enemy in the future world turned into an awl here, believe it or not, how many holes I made to open a few holes in you?
Seeing that Lao Zhao Tou's words made Manager Xiao unable to get off the stage, the rich carpenter master next to him hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, "Manager Xiao, don't be angry, this old Zhao Tou has such a stinky mouth, don't be like him, but Manager Xiao doesn't know, this battlefield is about an inch long and an inch strong, you look at those generals who ride horses all use horse lances, and like those warriors, there are no horses, they can't hold a horse lance, then they also have that spear and big knife, you carry this thing, and you have been knocked down before you get close, but it doesn't make sense..."
Xiao Han, who was originally angry, listened to the carpenter's explanation, and his heart calmed down, and he also thought clearly, not everything is suitable for this era, in this era that mainly relies on melee hand-to-hand combat, it is still a thick long knife that is more reliable.
Xiao Han was busy designing weapons here, but Li Shimin, who had just left here, had already come to the palace with a whip, and the newly beaten horse's paw stepped on the stone ground, making a very crisp clicking sound, and the white hoof Wu liked the sound of it running now, and twisted his neck from time to time to "chirp" twice, as if he was laughing.
One person rode briskly through the palace to Li Yuan's residence, as early as when Li Shimin was canonized as the king of Qin, he was given the privilege of riding a horse in the palace, but Li Shimin never used it, this time, it can be regarded as contributing the "first time" for Xiao Han......
Stepping on the steps, Li Shimin just pushed open the heavy door, Li Yuan woke up from his sleep, from the army against the Sui, to the present soldiers on all sides, Li Yuan, who is more than fifty years this year, has not had a good night's sleep for a long time, even if he barely falls asleep at night, he sleeps very shallowly, and often closes his eyes to the sea of swords! And this time, I was reading the battle report sent by Shanxi, and I fell asleep unconsciously......
"Oh, the people, is there anything wrong?"
Li Yuan, who was awakened, shook his hand, and was about to touch the long sword on his waist, and when he saw that his second son was standing at the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his head and asked.
"Back to my father, the people of the world came to have a happy event!"
"Oh? What a happy event? Come on! When Li Yuan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and sat up straight from the low desk.
"Father, please look!" Li Shimin said, presenting the long knife in his hand to the case.
Of course, Li Shimin is capable of this matter, if Chai Shao dares to enter Li Yuan's bedroom with a knife like this, it is estimated that the guards outside will not care if he is Li Yuan's good son-in-law!
If you want to say that Li Yuan has been brave since he was a child, he left a good story of the selection of the bird screen when he was young, and he will not be unfamiliar with the blade, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the long knife, and as soon as the knife was started, he felt that this knife was a little different, it seemed to be thicker and heavier than the ordinary blade!
Holding the knife with one hand, Li Yuan just sat and danced a knife flower, his hand stopped, and the tip of the knife trembled, he didn't expect such a heavy knife to be so tough, it was really unexpected!
"Well, yes, although it is rough, the materials used are also superior!"
Li Yuan only tried it, and he knew this knife by heart, and gave a not low evaluation!
"It's just, where's the joy?"
"It's not this thing that I'm happy, it's the person who makes this thing, my father knows that such a good knife, a few people work together, and more than 100 can be made a day!"
"What? More than 100? Is this true?! ”
Li Yuan was still a little disliked, just a weapon, what was the joy? But when I heard that I could make 100 handfuls a day, I was shocked, and I quickly stood up, walking back and forth on the ground while thinking, where is there a look of more than half a hundred years old?
If you want to say what is fighting in a war, it is strength!
And where does the strength come from? Naturally, it came from the grain and grass and military salaries and equipment, not to mention the grain and grass, Li Yuan also occupied the military rations in the important town of Taiyuan for ten years before he dared to raise troops, otherwise, just by relying on the little grain he robbed, his subordinates would have starved to death a long time ago!
On the other hand, this excellent equipment is extremely important, because it will greatly stimulate the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and even play a role in deterring the enemy!
I don't believe you let a group of people with wooden sticks try to beat a group of people with machetes, and promise how miserable it will be, how miserable it will be......
After walking back and forth on the ground a few times, Li Yuan suddenly stood still, stared at Li Shimin, and said, "Where is this person?" ”
"It's in the army!"
"Good, good! With this one person, it is better than a thousand armies, tomorrow the court meeting, you will lead him to the court, and the father will naturally not treat him badly! ”
"Yes!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed in his heart, he understood that only the right treatment can retain the right talent, otherwise, even if the talent does not say it, there will be some mustard in his heart.
"Wait..."
Li Shimin got the promise and was about to leave first, but Li Yuan shouted at him behind him again.
"That, don't favor one over the other, you can also bring the horseshoes and first aid methods you said two days ago tomorrow, at this time, you must be more rewarding for meritorious people, so as to stabilize people's hearts!"
"Oh... But! ”
"But what? You must know, O people of the world, that only by being the superior can you win the hearts of the people by being kind to the subordinates! You can't be sloppy in this matter! ”
"But, but Father, these are all done by one person!"
"Huh?!"
Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty finally froze, and the knife he was still holding in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp knife sound!
What kind of freak is this? Medicine, Gewu, smelting, how can anything? Could it be that this is a treasure that God deliberately sent from the troubled times to get this world for himself?
"Go now, Shimin, and announce his audience! I'm just waiting for him here!! ”
A letter of the Nine Heavens, Xiao Han was anxious to see Li Yuan......
In the compound, Xiao Han was arguing with the old blacksmith and several other masters on the ground about what kind of knife was suitable for large-scale casting, when suddenly an attendant came to announce that he was going to face the saint.
This is the first time Xiao Han has seen a eunuch born because of the imperial power, and the one who came to announce the decree was an old eunuch of a very large grade, with white hair but delicate skin, which made Xiao Han think that he had met Wei Zhongxian, and he almost ran away immediately!
But fortunately, the old blacksmith was still measured, and hurriedly accused the surprised old eunuch, caught Xiao Han, and sat in the carriage with the old eunuch without letting him change his clothes......
The carriage sped along the stone pavement, and the wooden-clad iron-clad wheels crushed against the stone slabs, clanging and trembling! In just a while, Xiao Han felt that his saliva was turned upside down, on the other hand, the coachman and the old eunuch were both calm and calm, which really made him admire and admire...... When you go back, you must make a carriage with shock absorption, running this kind of carriage on a stone road is simply a punishment!
On Suzaku Street, a carriage with a yellow flag ran wildly, and all pedestrians along the way avoided both sides, and only after the carriage passed did they dare to scold a word or two in their hearts, and rush to reincarnate?!
Whether they were in a hurry to reincarnate Xiao Han didn't know, but he felt that he would really be reincarnated if he sat down again! Finally, when Xiao Han was about to vomit, the carriage finally stopped, and Xiao Han immediately climbed down from the carriage with both hands and feet, leaning against the carriage for a while!
"Father-in-law, where is this?"
"Daxing Palace!"
"Daxing Palace?"
Xiao Han raised his head, and there were tall palaces in front of him, and the foundation alone was several feet high! The glazed tiles facing the sun shine brightly in the sunlight. And the high wall next to them is more than three feet, and there are big trees planted on the side of the wall that can't be named, and the canopy is lush, but the midsummer is a little annoying.
"Oh, it's Tai Chi Palace......"
Seeing this, Xiao Han suddenly realized that they had already entered the Xuanwu Gate, but Taiji Palace should still be called Daxing Palace now, and I don't know when it will be renamed, I always feel that Daxing Palace is called weird!
