Chapter 60 Li Jiancheng, you are really the darling of heaven

After Li Jiancheng left, Wei Zheng walked out from behind the screen.

Wei Zheng saw that it was not early, and offered to leave.

Li Xiuning said: "Don't be busy walking, it's cold, drink some mutton soup, warm up your body and then go!" ”

With Li Xiuning's order, the maidservants of Chen Jiabao walked into the lobby with food boxes, and the maidservants put the meals on the table.

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly: "Zhumen wine and meat ......"

Without waiting for Wei Zheng to finish speaking, Li Xiuning glanced at Wei Zheng and said: "Don't worry, there is no penny of people's fat and people's ointment here, since the fifth year of Wude, Chen Lang and I have not received a penny of money, and all the expenses of the Chen Mansion come from your so-called Zhumen's dedication!" ”

Wei Zheng was stunned and said, "How is this possible? ”

"How is this impossible?" Li Xiuning pointed in the direction of Chang'an and said: "The Chen Mansion has two major inputs, one is Datang Tongli Qianzhuang, the other is a four-wheeled carriage, and others such as farm tools and workshops, including Boren Hospital and Datang Industrial College, all lose money!" ”

It is said that the core technology of the four-wheeled carriage is nothing more than the four-wheel steering device and shock absorption device. Now, in order to facilitate the land transportation of Datang, Chen Ying has opened the technical barriers of four-wheeled carriages.

It can be said that now, there are at least 800 workshops that can produce four-wheeled carriages in Datang. However, most of these four-wheeled carriages were used to carry goods. The extravagant four-wheeled carriage is still worth tens of thousands, and you still need to queue up to order.

At the beginning, Li Xiuning would have been very strange. After all, there are a number of Guogong in the Tang Dynasty, and they have purchased a four-wheeled carriage, which cannot be ordered for at least three or five years.

However, Li Xiuning does not understand the hearts of the world.

Don't look at the main role of the four-wheeled carriage is to facilitate travel, the luxury carriage worth tens of thousands or thousands of yuan, has also become a symbol of status, even if the four-wheeled carriage produced by Yangji Carriage in Lantian County, and the carriage produced by Chenfu, are almost carved out of the same mold, but the gate valves and nobles of Chang'an and even the whole world recognize the carriage produced by Chen Ji.

Chen Ying pays more attention to the brand effect than anyone else, and the four-wheeled carriage produced by Chen Kee, even if it is a rivet on it, is engraved with Chen Kee's inscription, including the teapot in the carriage, the red clay stove, and especially the flush toilet, all of which have the inscription of "Chen Kee".

Since the four-wheeled carriage was put on the market, Chen Ying's four-wheeled carriage workshop has upgraded the four-wheeled carriage five times, from cowhide sofa chairs to lambskin, and even tiger skin, crocodile skin, and then made a striking version, both the wood has been soaked in mint, of course, the most outrageous thing is that Chen Fu used gold and silver last year to make a golden carriage, this carriage as high as 88,888 yuan, was bought by an anonymous wealthy family in Jiangnan.

In fact, Chen Yingfu spent a lot of money last year, tens of thousands of yuan. However, the surplus of carriages alone amounted to 250,000.

As for the larger input, it belongs to Datang Tongli Qianzhuang. Tongli Money Bank is different from other money banks, not only good credit, but also interest, although the annual interest of five percent is not high, but can not stand the money of other gate valves. More than ninety percent of the deposits are contributed by the family gate valve, and the surplus of 560,000 yuan in the money bank is also mostly contributed by these family door valves.

Wei Zheng thought about it, and what Li Xiuning said was true.

In this way, he was very relieved to eat.

At this time, Li Xiuning noticed that Wei Zheng's cuffs were broken, and the torn silk cloth strips were in the vegetable soup, but Wei Zheng was unaware of it.

Li Xiuning said curiously: "Xuancheng, why are you still unwilling to bring your family to Chang'an?"

Wei Zheng was stunned, and then lowered his head and continued to eat.

Li Xiuning continued to stare at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng finally found that the place where his sleeve was torn was put in the vegetable soup, his old face was red, he put down his chopsticks, and smiled awkwardly: "This matter, it's a long story......

Wei Zheng wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Xiuning said: "Let's talk about it! Could it be that there is something that cannot be seen?

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not ...... to see the light."

Wei Zheng found Li Xiuning's gaze looking at him.

Reluctantly coughed to give himself courage and said: "Yang Guang's third expedition to Liaodong, my eldest son Shuyu, was lost in the chaotic army......

Li Xiuning sighed, and said with a concerned look on his face: "Later, did you find it?" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head silently.

Li Xiuning said: "Xuan Cheng feels shameless to face his parents and wife at home? ”

Wei Zheng nodded.

Li Xiuning comforted Wei Zheng and sighed: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world." After more than ten years of war, the wife was separated, and the family was ruined, not to mention you, the Donghai Fang family, the Luoyang Du family, and hundreds of clansmen died in the troubled times. The deceased is gone, and Xuancheng doesn't have to blame himself. ”

Wei Zheng was silent.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

Li Xiuning broke the silence again and said: "Xuancheng, why don't you take your family and wife to Chang'an now?" ”

Wei Zheng sighed and said: "The world is turbulent, it has changed hands several times, the so-called prosperous times live in its dynasty, the troubled times are hidden in the wilderness, the world is undecided, family members, it is better to live in seclusion in their hometown."

Li Xiuning was a little surprised: "If today, Kyushu is unified, why is the world undecided?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "When I can ride the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry, calm the Turks, and Chang'an in the world, I will naturally take them here and enjoy the peaceful and prosperous world together." ”

Li Xiuning suddenly looked at Wei Zheng in awe.

Li Xiuning got up and said: "You also heard what Your Majesty said, since I will go to Anxi as an ambassador of Anxi to comfort, Chen Lang should also lead Anxi's 100,000 male soldiers to the north, and when the border comes, the Eastern Turks should not worry!" ”

At this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly looked out the window, and under the illumination of the lights, snowflakes were falling outside the window.

Wei Zheng muttered, "It's snowing......"

Li Xiuning said: "Which year will it not snow in winter!" ”

"It's different!" Wei Zheng sighed and said, "This heavy snow can defeat 100,000 male soldiers!" ”

……

In the Tang camp of Bashang, the cold wind was howling and the snow was blowing one after another.

At the entrance of the barracks, a large cart full of baggage fell into a mud pit, the wheels on one side had been broken, and more than a dozen non-commissioned officers, under the command of the leader colonel, were busy transporting new wheels for installation.

A group of Tang troops came from behind, and when they saw that the road to the camp was blocked, the small colonel who led the team stepped forward immediately.

The horseback colonel roared, "Why are you blocking the camp gate? ”

The junior colonel of the baggage team glanced at the junior colonel on horseback, and said angrily: "Didn't you see it?" The wheels are broken. The cart got stuck in a mud puddle. ”

The horseback colonel said disapprerovingly: "Why don't you pull the cart aside?" Blocking the gate of the camp to obstruct entry and exit, delaying our order, can you afford it? ”

The junior colonel retorted: "Just what do you want? ”

The horseback colonel said proudly: "Our Jianghuai light cavalry, but not the twelve guards soldiers, if you can't point it, my handsome family will really kill people." ”

The junior colonel roared: "Twelve guards soldiers? See clearly, we are the Hedong Army, under the command of the Governor of Hedong, fighting the Turks, we are the main force, Jianghuai light cavalry, partial division, what kind of shelf? ”

The horseback riding colonel scolded indignantly: "Partial teacher? Let me tell you, this time to conquer the Turks, my family will definitely be in charge. When the time comes, don't hold back your Hedong army. ”

The Lieutenant Colonel was suddenly so angry that his eyes widened, and more than a dozen soldiers who were repairing the car also rushed up.

The junior colonel roared: "When our Hedong army and the Turks fought to the death, you Jianghuai light horses, still playing with mud, and the one who recruited the Turks to worship on the altar must be the governor of Hedong." ”

Seeing that their own school was at a loss, more than a dozen Jianghuai light cavalry soldiers dismounted one after another, and the two teams pushed and provoked each other.

A partial general immediately stopped drinking: "Why block the noise at the gate?" ”

The soldiers turned around and were shocked to find that Kan Ling and Li Jing were standing side by side in the back.

The baggage colonel gave the riding colonel a look.

The cavalry colonel shouted: "Brothers, help the brothers of the Hedong Army, carry the cart in." ”

The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and shouted the trumpet to drag the cart out of the mud pit and into the camp.

……

Li Jing and Kan Ling walked into the Chinese army's big tent.

Kan Ling suddenly stopped, bowed to Li Jing and said: "Li Dashuai, this time to conquer the Turks, my father has repeatedly instructed Kan Ling to obey Li Dashuai's orders!" ”

Li Jing smiled dumbly and said: "This heavy snow came in time, we must change the battle plan, King Wu accompanied the Northern Expedition this time, and served as the deputy of the commander, when the time comes, you will return to the command of King Wu!" ”

Kan Ling scratched his head and said, "What the marshal said is true? ”

Li Jing smiled and said, "This is Your Majesty's holy will!" ”

……

In the Eastern Turkic tent of Mobei,

Jieli was munching on the meat and bones with great interest.

There was a terrible howl outside.

Jieli suddenly threw down his bones with a gloomy face.

A slave stumbled and broke into the tent crying out, "Khan! Khan! The gods are angry! It's snowing! ”

Jieli disapplievously threw down the leg of mutton bone, wiped the oil stains on his hands with a leather robe, and said, "What's so tight when it's snowing?" ”

The slave cried and said, "Khan, you better go out and have a look!" ”

Jieli lifted the tent and got out of the tent, the biting cold made him shiver unconsciously.

Not far from the big tent, a war horse has been frozen into an ice sculpture, and the war horse is still in the shape of moving forward.

The knight on horseback, like the war horse, was covered with heavy snow.

Jieli Khan pressed forward, the snow under his feet reaching his knees.

His gaze was hard away.

It's a pity that this sudden cold snap is beyond his imagination.

A large number of Turkic horses and livestock were frozen to death, the vast grasslands were covered with heavy snow, and even the desert was covered with heavy snow (the desert will also snow, Lao Cheng has seen it with his own eyes, the third largest desert in China, the Gurbantunggut Desert, the snow cover will exceed 30 cm in winter)

At this time, countless Turkic agents, Shekhans, came to the tent of Jieli Khan.

Everyone gathered in front of Jieli and said, "Khan, this is the punishment of the gods for our Turks, we have killed too many of our compatriots. ”

Ashina Sheer stared murderously at the Turkic agents and shouted, "Old crow, shut your mouth. ”

Jieli sulked his head and did not move.

"Khan, we must go south, livestock, cattle and horses, we can't survive the wind and snow here."

"Khan, let's go to Dingxiang, it's much warmer there."

"Go to Dingxiang, everyone scatter to find pasture, otherwise they will all starve to death here."

Ashina Sheer roared: "Go to Dingxiang? Isn't that sending it to Tang Jun's mouth? Now, how many sons and daughters are left who can wield swords? What if the Tang Army comes? ”

One of the agents said: "That's better than freezing to death!" ”

Jieli suddenly raised his head and said, "Go to Dingxiang." ”

Ashina Sheer roared: "Khan! ”

Jieli waved his hand and motioned for Ashina Sheer to shut up.

Jieli said: "We must go to Dingxiang, otherwise we won't be able to survive this winter." We are afraid of the cold, the Tang people are more afraid of the cold than us, Ashina Sheer, you gather all the sons and daughters who can fight. Let's all go to Dingxiang! ”

As the whimpering horn sounded, the Turks began to assemble.

Then, brave the blizzard and slowly head south.

A large group of Turkic soldiers led horses, old and young, women and children, and drove the last remaining cattle and sheep through the bitter wind and snow.

From time to time, some Turks fell on the snow and could not get up again.

Jieli Khan looked at this scene, looked at the south, and said expressionlessly: "Li Jiancheng, you are really the darling of heaven!" ”
