Zheng Peng smiled bitterly, and was a little helpless to explain Landuo's theory, and then asked Curro: "Second brother, what do you think?" ”

"Well, it's not all about the clouds, maybe she thinks this is the daughter, speaking of this, then she has to find the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to say, right?" Kuro said unhelpfully.

After speaking, he opened his mouth to comfort Zheng Peng and said: "The things rewarded by the emperor are stained with luxury, and the third brother is not short of money, so it is good to accept it. ”

Zheng Peng pouted and said: "The second brother said it so well, when the time comes, the three treasures will share dividends, so give the second brother these extravagant gold, the younger brother has an official body, he is not in a hurry, but the second brother will participate in the martial arts next year, this extravagance is more important to the second brother." ”

Kuro smiled when he heard this, and quickly said with a straight face: "I have always helped my relatives and not my relatives, I judge things according to things, rewards are rewards, bets are bets, and they can't be mixed up, the clouds are not good like this, I have to criticize her when I look back." ”

The change was too fast, Zheng Peng glanced at Kuro with some disdain, then patted Kuro on the shoulder and smiled, and no longer embarrassed him.

Kuro just stayed for a while, said that after a while, he also made an appointment with a fellow practitioner, got on the horse and galloped back, Zheng Peng saw that it was okay, and continued to go to the Three Treasures.

Look at how well the bicycles are prepared, I promised to give one to Colliers, and I will give a few to Li Longji, so we have to hurry up the progress.

When he arrived at the Three Treasures, as soon as Lao Hu saw Zheng Peng, he immediately said with a smile: "Congratulations to the young master for his victory, his fame, and his victory over Sulu Khan's BMW with a pedal car." ”

It's really that pot doesn't open which pot to mention, just now Lan Duo's chick was so angry, Zheng Peng lost the interest in celebrating, and waved his hand when he heard the words and said: "These are all false names, don't mention it, by the way, Lao Hu, how are you preparing these days?" ”

Hearing Zheng Peng's question, Lao Hu, who was the head of the craftsman team, said respectfully: "Back to the young master, I have been testing the advantages and disadvantages of various woods these days, and found that rosewood, sandalwood, jujube wood, and peach wood are all very good, and we are ready to use different woods in different parts, and it is estimated that it will take a little more time." ”

"Yes, these things can't be sloppy, the Three Treasures either don't do it, if you want to do it, you have to do it well, and the quality must not be bad"

After a pause, Zheng Peng immediately said: "While researching and rushing to make it, while rushing to make it and improving it, hurry up and make ten cars first, and use sandalwood and pear, and select the best wood and the best craftsmen, because this batch is going to be sent to the palace." ”

Others can be dragged out, where can Gaolishi not be dragged on, I heard that Li Longji is also very interested in it, and it is not bad to send a batch into the palace and show his face in front of Li Longji.

Lao Hu hurriedly responded.

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Hu whispered, "Young Master, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Just say something."

"Some craftsmen said that wheels made of wood are easy to break and scatter, and now many cars have iron-cast wheels, and the whole car is too luxurious to use cars, and the wheels are much stronger with iron-casting, young master, you said this..."

The bicycle is designed by Zheng Peng, and some people don't like others to modify their own design, and when asked, Lao Hu can be said to be cautious.

"Good thing" Zheng Peng said affirmatively: "Participate in the trial to the wooden wheel, that is too short, too late to cast, no one stipulates that the bicycle must be made of wood, you can imagine generously, don't spend money with heartache, change it if you find a bad place, do it well, and there will be a reward." ”

I almost forgot about it, the wheels of the bicycle are small, the ancient road conditions are average, and there is no shock absorption, the wheels are easy to damage, Zheng Peng ran a trip to Luoyang, and changed five wheels back and forth, the loss rate is too high, if you replace it with iron wheels, it must be strong and strong.

"Understood, young master" Lao Hu whispered a little proudly: "Actually, it didn't cost any money, most of the materials were pulled from the treasury of the Ministry of Industry, and I didn't have to give a penny." ”

Zheng Peng and Landau agreed to compete, Gao Lishi was instructed by Li Longji to ask Zheng Peng to go to the Ministry of Industry to ask for materials, such a good opportunity Zheng Peng naturally will not let go, see the good ones to take, enough to pull three cars of materials back, and let people take some on the opposite side, this is Li Longji's words, the Ministry of Industry naturally did not dare to reach out to Zheng Peng.

"By the way, those craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry are not in a hurry to let them go, let them work hard here, and say that they will make bicycles and dedicate them to Your Majesty." Zheng Peng thought of those top craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, and immediately opened his mouth to order.

Such a good talent does not have to be used in vain.

Lao Hu said proudly: "They don't want to leave, it's good to eat and live here, and no one beats and scolds them, and someone gives them a hand, there is wine and meat every day, and those old craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry say that it seems to be a festival every day, and secretly asks the little one, can you work here for a longer time." ”

The status of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty is not high, they are not respected and recognized, it is a matter of course to do well, and if they do not do well, they will be punished, and they will be exploited by their superiors.

"That's good." Zheng Peng nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that Zheng Peng was in a bad mood, Lao Hu immediately seized the opportunity to make a request: "Young master, now it's cool and there is still a market for Hefeng Laiyi, while researching and working, the manpower is also a little insufficient. Insufficient. ”

"Let Guo Qi accompany you to the people's market to buy slaves, by the way, call Lao Ding, and the two of you will discuss it" Speaking of this, Zheng Peng thought for a while and continued to instruct: "You don't just need to buy craftsmen and apprentices, buy some women to do laundry, cooking, sewing or something, well, if anyone behaves well, you can match one in the future." ”

Lao Hu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes, young master, the little one must be done properly." ”

In that way, as if he was going to match him with one, Zheng Peng smiled hehehe: "Lao Hu, you have worked hard recently, these young masters all know, do it well, I can't lose you." ”

The hint of these words was obvious, and when Lao Hu heard this, he immediately said respectfully: "Do things for the young master, don't work hard, young master, the small frame hasn't been finished yet, then..."

Zheng Peng waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man, as soon as he heard that there was a woman to marry, Lao Hu immediately became energetic and went to work hard.

Just when Lao Hu took the initiative to work hard, in the back garden of the palace, Sulu Khan was also asking Li Longji for his resignation.

"Your Majesty, it has been almost half a month since the minister arrived in Chang'an, seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, the Tibetan thieves will come to fight the grass valley every autumn harvest, it is time to go back and strengthen the guard, so as not to let the thieves have an opportunity, and then I also remember the old Eji at home, and I have come to ask Your Majesty for resignation, hoping that Your Majesty will be gracious."

This time the "competition" did not prevail, not only did Sulu Khan lose 500 yuan, but even the soldiers under his command also lost a lot, and it was disgraceful to stay here, so it was better to return as soon as possible.

Li Longji nodded when he heard this, and said, "What Aiqing said is very true, quasi-playing." ”

This time, the Sulu Khan entered Beijing a month later than the original plan, because Tubo and Dashi had moved, and the Sulu Khan, who had 200,000 people under his command, was the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the Anxi Protectorate, and could not leave for a long time.

Not only are the movements of Tubo and Dashi suspicious, but every autumn harvest season, the defense of the frontier is the top priority, for the simple reason of preventing the Tubo thieves from hitting the grass valley.

Grass Valley is a saying of the Tubo people, not to fight grass to prevent winter, but to covet the rich Tubo people of the Tang Dynasty, want to eat and dress in winter, and have no money to buy the corresponding materials, so they sneak into the territory of the Tang Dynasty to burn, kill and loot, they call this behavior the grass valley.

This year, Tibet and the Great Food have made frequent moves, and we must be more careful about defense.

Even if An Lu Khan didn't say it, Li Longji had to let him go back.

When the Sulu Khan heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.

"When is Aiqing going to leave?" Li Longji asked.

"If you go back to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has no other instructions, the minister plans to leave the day after tomorrow."

Li Longji nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, I will set up a banquet in the palace to serve Aiqing." ”

"The emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers are grateful." Sulu Khan said respectfully.

After the Sulu Khan retreated, Li Longji spoke: "Lux." ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave is here." Gao Lishi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to listen to the order.

"Chuan Wang Changming."

"Yes."
