Shule is in the light, Khotan is in the dark, and they all want to control the second half of the Silk Road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Their current backer is still the Western Turks, but the confidence is that the Tang Dynasty's projection troops in Shazhou are insufficient, if not, the moment Hou Junji takes Gaochang, he can continue to advance westward.

It takes time.

Bite! Bite! Bite!

The ironsmith workshop in Hanyang City is in full swing, and it seems that the affairs of the Western Regions are still far away from them. However, this batch of iron sheets is the lining of the regulatory box, and its main role is to prevent grain from seeping water and mildew, as well as to prevent windy days in the Western Regions, which is a mouth full of sand weather, and grain is more and more important.

"Don't blow the wind."

"Yes."

In a factory building in Linjiang, the thumb-thick iron bar passed through an iron plate with a vertebral hole and turned into a thinner iron bar, which needed to be annealed at this time.

Once again, through the iron plate with open holes, a wire that is not very uniform, but definitely sufficient, was born.

"Tensile test it, keep it on file."

"Yes."

"Did the wholesale go out on the eighth day of the first month?"

"It has been sent out from Chang'an, and the people in the capital have checked it."

"Well, that's fine."

The production of wire rod is extremely fuel-intensive, mainly due to the need for further heat treatment, although these costs are acceptable. For the Central Plains, the most important thing is coal, and it is a reserve of thousands of years. On the contrary, the quality of iron ore is not good, and Lao Zhang really can't remember where there is low-sulfur iron ore......

Whether the barbed wire is useful or not still needs to be tested, but that is not Zhang De's business, but Cheng Chubi.

Li Desheng knew that the Hanyang Wire Rod Factory had a production task, and the purchaser was the Commander of the Military Administration, but this was not an official procurement, and it was purchased privately by the Commander Cheng of the Commander of the Late Command Military Mansion. This was a policy allowed by the imperial court, and the generals could privately strengthen the strength of the troops under their command, in the hope of expanding the results of the war.

It's just that in the past, I used to get some ancestral treasure knives, ancestral treasure armor and the like, or I had a divine horse or an ancestral divine bow and crossbow. If you can maintain weapons and armor, you also belong to technical talents, which is almost the same as the ancestral film.

Cheng Chubi purchased wire, naturally not to play tortoiseshell binding or any other school of rope art, he was short of troops, but there were a lot of rabble in the Western Regions, and they were often one horse or even two horses. Although he was not the opponent of the Tang Army during the battle, he often ran fast, and it was impossible for Cheng Chubi to use the limited cavalry elite to play peek-a-boo with these rabble.

If you want to play, play big!

In the accounts, Cheng Chubi purchased this batch of materials from Hanyang Wire Rod, which was on credit. But as long as the benefits in the war are far greater than the purchase money, then it is cost-effective. Whether barbed wire is useful or not, and how much it is used, still needs to be tested by war.

The generals of the Western Regions now have some meaning of rotation, but they are all within a controllable range, such as Dou Xiaoci, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old prince child, a large number of people go to Longyou to gild, generally organize a regiment or a righteous servant, and rarely really go to the front line to fight.

It's just surprising that Dou Xiaoci actually went to the front line.

"Guangda, why is Da Lang really going to Shazhou? You...... He's only sixteen! ”

Because Zhang De took care of the Dou family, the rumors from Hanyang would soon arrive in Chang'an. After Uncle Zhang found out, he immediately expressed his attitude and ran to Dou Dan to show his face, and after coming and going, he became acquainted.

Human affection really has to run from time to time before it becomes eager.

The two are brothers-in-law, and Zhang De intends to take care of them, so naturally they have a friendship.

Dou Dan, who was crying and wiping his tears, was only there to stroke his chest and sigh: "What can I do?" What can I do? What can I do? ”

It's not that Dou Dan can't stop Dou Xiaoci, it's really that his family is in a special situation, he has to maintain the dignity of his relatives, he can't fall into the face of Queen Taimu, and he has to be a man with his tail between his legs. Dou Dan separated early, the Dou family was completely scattered, and there was no dignity of a national duke, in fact, the situation at home was exactly the same as after Qu Tutong's death.

"Princess Xiangyang ......"

"She's helpless."

Dou Dan sighed with emotion, not only that Dou Xiaoci was not the princess of Xiangyang, but because Princess Langya changed her life against the sky to renovate the nuclear submarine in the Liaohe River and polish the nuclear warhead, now all the princesses who have some force value or intelligence are not very good at doing things publicly.

Li Shimin's heart is still guarding the Dongguan kiln like a pet, not to mention Li Shimin's sisters?

The party Zhang Gong knew it well, so he had to say: "The expenses in Beijing are getting worse and worse, Brother Guang, if the public is ridiculing, if the expenses are stretched, Zhang will not lack money here." ”

"Hongshen, thank you very much......"

Dou Dan sighed with emotion, of course he knew that Zhang Gongjin was not ridiculing him for being poor, but in fact, Chang'an in this year couldn't understand it at all.

If he guards his own land and property, like Chang'an in Zhenguan for four years, he can still mix it very moisturizing. However, Chang'an, which has been in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, is changing with each passing day is not enough to describe its eventuality.

In the old years in Chang'an City, the powerful walked wearing fur, stepped on warm boots, and the house was mostly cushioned with quilts, and the heating was all coal stoves, and the coal quality was the anthracite supplied by men in Liangfeng County. In the past, the two-wheeled carriage could not reflect its own status at all, Poly Construction and SF, a luxury carriage can directly let Dou Nian feed the dogs.

It is horseback riding, Jinshan chasing the wind, Qinghai skull, dragon stallion...... If the coat color is slightly worse, it will be difficult to mix in the circle of the powerful.

Dou Dan had never been so eager for Wei Zheng to spray current affairs and ask his colleagues not to be so extravagant.

After the dignified Henan Dou family, the famous family that started a family with Fufeng actually reached the point of going to the west of the city to ask Hu Shang for a loan, and it is conceivable that this Chang'an City has made it difficult for many marginal nobles to continue to maintain the dignity of the family business.

Dou Xiaoci rarely chased Zhang De to Hanyang, where he bought a property, but he was also forced to the extreme by reality, if he didn't come forward as the eldest son, the family would inevitably fail. Whether it is moving out of Chang'an, or being sued by Hu Shang to Chang'an, and then being ordered to mortgage the land and property, it is an extremely terrible thing.

Once such things are revealed, if Dou Dan's branch wants to rise again in the future, they must also plan for three generations with the reputation of "incompetence......

Dou Dan is really grateful to Zhang Gongjin.

It's just that if he understands that the atmosphere in Chang'an today and the changes in Chang'an today are closely related to Zhang Gongjin's nephew, he doesn't know how to feel.

The elites who eat meat steamed buns are carnivaling, and those sluggish and conservative elites are gradually marginalized, gradually left out in the cold, and gradually excluded from the circle that was once not difficult to mix.

It's just that when those carnival magnates were still pushing cups and changing lamps, a small piece of news came out from the people of Chang'an.

"What?! Your Majesty wants to collect the sugar industry, thinking that it is state-owned?! ”

"How can this be true? The faint king fights with the people for Liye! ”

"Each state capital has its own distribution and apportionment home. The wine of the country's priest is still stained with copper in the land of Qilu, let alone others? Is the emperor going to kill each family and enrich himself? ”

"Feng An's old puppet is actually sparse, this shameless old thing!"

"Lingnan doesn't produce sugar, and his Feng family can't eat the meat in this pot, so he wants to smash the pot? Anyway, the sugar industry is monopolized, Chang'an still has to buy gray sugar from Lingnan, and Feng Ang will not lose money......"

That spoonful of white sugar once again rolled up a ripple of reverie.
