Recently, the people who fled the war have returned to their hometowns, because Chang'an has just experienced the war and needs to be rebuilt, and Li Hao's Lantian Marquis Mansion site has also begun to build a villa, and the school will also be rebuilt, so Chang'an has a craftsman fever for a while, and folk craftsmen are really in short supply.

Fortunately, Li Guocheng started early, and was willing to spend money, recruited thousands of craftsmen, and began to build the school and Li Hao's summer resort, and those students who graduated from Li Hao's school heard that their alma mater was going to be rebuilt, and they rushed to join the army of school reconstruction.

On February 15, Li Hao discussed with 17 teachers in the temporary teacher's office to vigorously establish a scientific research institute and set up a special research group for various sciences, and all the teachers enthusiastically signed up, and also decided to absorb the school's ungraduated and graduated high-achieving students, and Li Hao was responsible for providing them with technical support and research funds, which is estimated to be not a small amount, after all, in this era of scientific research, you need to use some very rare things, and if you want to get these rare things, you need to spend a lot of money to collect and create.

After discussing for a morning, Li Hao finally finalized the details with them. At this time, a special soldier came to report, and there were three people outside the palace who asked to see him, and the person who was the leader was one-armed.

When Li Hao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, it was Situ Feng who came, and hurriedly went to greet his apprentice in person.

Li Hao opened the side door with a few special soldiers, and suddenly saw Situ Feng and Zeng Yulin's father and daughter standing outside the door, and the three of them saluted when they met: "Master!" "Meet King Joonnan!"

"Excuse me, come, come in." Li Hao waved his hand with a smile and invited them in, his attitude was very easy-going, they were all people in the rivers and lakes, and they didn't have to pay attention to those etiquette, besides, he didn't like those etiquette very much, it was annoying.

Welcoming them into the courtyard and coming to the living room, Li Hao looked at Situ Feng, he hadn't seen him for many days, and he saw that this guy had lost a lot of weight, and he was also haggard, and the sleeves of his broken arm were empty, which made him sad for a while.

As soon as Li Hao sat down, he spoke: "Feng, these days, as a teacher, I am really worried about you, I am afraid that you will not be able to pass this hurdle." ”

Situ Feng shook his head slowly and said, "Master, don't worry, at first, I was really uncomfortable, and I almost had the intention of seeking death, but then after the persuasion of my predecessors, I gradually thought about it. ”

"Oh?" Li Hao looked at Zeng Yulin with a smile when he heard this, and asked, "How did Zeng Daxia comfort him?" ”

"The prince has been raised, and the word hero is ashamed." Zeng Yulin waved his hand and chuckled, "Actually, Zeng didn't say anything, he told Situ Xiaoyou about some of what he had seen and heard in the rivers and lakes, and Situ Xiaoyou had also seen some things with his own eyes." ”

Situ Feng nodded and said: "Yes, during the famine, the people tried their best to survive in order to eat a mouthful, I just lost an arm, what is it, as long as I am alive, there are infinite possibilities." ”

"I'm glad you think so." Li Hao looked at Situ Feng with great satisfaction, and said, "Actually, as your master, I should enlighten you with these truths, but at that time, I was in a hurry to come to King Chang'anqin, and it was my fault that I failed to stay and enlighten you, but fortunately, you can comprehend it on your own, which is beyond my expectations." ”

"Master!" Situ Feng said seriously, "The apprentice can worship you as a teacher in this life, it is a blessing that the apprentice has cultivated for ten lifetimes, I will definitely follow you well in the future, let you drive, and never regret it." ”

Li Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's serious, accepting you as an apprentice for the teacher is to want you to carry forward the sword skills of our faction, but not to drive you, you have to practice martial arts well in the future, don't live up to the expectations of the teacher." ”

"Hmm!" Situ Feng nodded vigorously, his eyes full of scorching light.

Li Hao turned his head to look at Zeng Yulin's father and daughter, and asked with a smile: "Zeng Daxia, where are you two going next?" ”

Zeng Yulin smiled and sighed: "My father and daughter have always lived in a fixed place, and the four seas are their home, so they naturally want to go to the rivers and lakes to continue to drift." ”

Li Hao sighed for a while when he heard this, he used to envy the knights of the rivers and lakes for being at ease, but now he felt that the knights of the rivers and lakes were really a little sad, so he said: "If the two of you have a heart, this king wants to invite you to be a guest of my house, the martial arts of the two are not ordinary people, and it is not a problem to come to protect the safety of my palace. ”

Zeng Yulin instinctively wanted to refuse, there were many eunuchs who saw his martial arts and extended an olive branch to him, but he refused, he didn't want to deal with people in the officialdom, so he wanted to be a ranger and wander the rivers and lakes.

But he noticed his daughter's eyes, when Li Hao said that he wanted to invite them to be guests, Zeng Yihan's face was obviously very happy, his eyes lit up, Zeng Yulin couldn't help but look gloomy, for so many years, he took his daughter to the end of the world, he always thought that his daughter was used to such a life, but he only found out today that she actually wanted to settle down, after all, she was a daughter's family.

Zeng Yulin was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thanks to the prince's affordability, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Then it's decided, this king will let Situ Feng arrange a place for your father and daughter later, Zeng Daxia is a contemporary hero, and in the future, this king must be close to Zeng Daxia if he has leisure." ”

"The prince is too lifted." Zeng Yulin hugged his fists and was modest.

Soon, when it was time for dinner, Li Hao invited them to have lunch together, chatting while eating, Zeng Yulin was more interested in Li Hao's war with King Qin, after all, this battle saved the Tang Dynasty, and Li Hao was full of yearning for strange people and strange things on the rivers and lakes, and the two communicated with each other, and this meal was eaten for more than an hour.

After dinner, Zeng Yulin retired, Situ Feng took their father and daughter to arrange accommodation, and Li Hao returned to the middle courtyard to practice swords, no matter how busy he was, martial arts must be practiced, although the mysterious man traveled decades earlier than himself, but he believed that as long as he practiced diligently, he would definitely be able to surpass him.

The weather in Guanzhong in February was still quite cold, but Li Hao practiced his sword skills for a while, and he was already sweating profusely. He glanced around as he spoke, apparently with something confidential to report.

Seeing this, Li Hao said: "Come to the study and say." ”

After that, he took Feiying to the study, and after entering the study, he closed the door, and Feiying said: "Lord Wang, Jinli has begun to move the army in batches and march towards Luoyang. ”

Li Hao nodded when he heard this: "Okay, I have also sent a flying pigeon to Qiongnan and Liuqiu, they will soon send a fleet over, you let Jinli and them wait in Luoyang first, pay attention, don't be exposed, more than 70,000 people, that's not a small number, it's very attention-grabbing." ”

"Don't worry, the prince." Feiying nodded vigorously and said, "We usually act at night, and the bastards over there in Luoyang will never be discovered." ”

"Well, that's good." Li Haofu asked again, "I heard that the new tax system has been formulated and is being implemented in Guanzhong, what wind can you hear when you walk outside?" ”

Feiying said: "Yes, when the people heard that the agricultural tax had been halved, they were all overjoyed and overjoyed, but they didn't seem to know that you proposed it, and they sang praises for the emperor vigorously." ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Hao smiled and waved his hand, "I don't care about this, a person's fame among the people is too great, but it's not good, the emperor likes these false names, just let it go to him." ”

Feiying said again: "Also, many merchants are cursing you, I don't know who told them that you proposed the collection of commercial tax." ”

Li Hao smiled indifferently: "It must be the ghosts of those idle ministers in the court, let them scold, and slowly they will get used to it." ”

Feiying suddenly frowned and said: "Lord Wang, the new tax system has only been implemented for three days, and nearly 100 shops or vendors in Chang'an City have closed their doors, will this be ......?"

"Don't worry." Li Hao smiled confidently, waved his hand and said, "The market economy is the survival of the fittest, the survival of the fittest, even if the new tax system is not implemented, those traders are estimated to be difficult to support for a long time, and the new tax system only accelerates the speed of their demise, this is called the big wave of sand, all the uncompetitive are eliminated, what is left is the essence, as for those who are closed, hehe, you can go home and farm, agriculture is the foundation of Datang, and now the harvest in the field has increased more than two or three times, and the agricultural tax has also been reduced by half. This is the real emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business. ”

Feiying scratched his head and said, "Listening to what you said, Lord Wang, this is indeed the truth. ”

On the third day of the first month of March, it was the time when the weather warmed up in the Mobei grassland, and a little green gradually appeared on the withered yellow grassland, and a team of people and horses passed through the desert, traveled through the grassland, and came to the western Turkic royal court of Sanmi Mountain, and the person headed by it was the Garqin Mausoleum.

The Garqin Mausoleum came to see the Western Turk Khan with a Tibetan envoy this time, the current Western Turkic Khan is called Ashina Helu, called Shabala Khan, in the past ten years, the Western Turkic Khan has changed frequently, and Ashina Helu is undoubtedly the most outstanding and ambitious of all the khans.

For the Tubo raid on the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Helu was a little unwilling, he could have taken the opportunity to attack the Tang Dynasty, maybe he could also carve up the Tang Dynasty with the Tubo in one fell swoop, of course, mainly because the speed of the war was too fast, two months to Chang'an, and at that time they Western Turks only got the news, and when he prepared the army and prepared to attack the Tang Dynasty, he arrived at the border of the Tang Dynasty, and received the news that King Li Haoqin had destroyed the Tubo army and killed Gardonzan.

Ashina Helu hesitated suddenly, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate had already been waiting for each other, and he knew that the opportunity had been lost, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

This time, the person in charge of going out of the city to greet the Garqin Mausoleum was a female general, dressed in a white robe and silver armor, riding out of the city to greet her, and the Garqin Mausoleum saw her sassy and heroic posture on a horse, and was a little stupid for a while, and said to herself in Tubo: "What a beautiful girl, I will definitely get her in my life!" ”
