Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 512 Lu Dongzan's Request
Li Dejian and Li Jing went to Wei Hao's mansion to perform a sand table, but Li Dejian was killed by Wei Hao, leaving Li Jing with a headache.

Li Dejian was a little embarrassed. Anyway, his father was also recognized as a good conductor by everyone, but he couldn't do it when he got here, and he lost Li Jing's face a bit!
"Well, big brother, luck, luck!" Wei Hao looked at Li Dejian embarrassedly and said.

"It's okay, come again!" Li Dejian waved his hand and said to Wei Hao.

"Are you still here?" Wei Hao looked at Li Dejian and said.

"Come again, I found it quite interesting, much more interesting than the art of war my father made me memorize every day, at least this one, and I can intuitively feel the changes on the battlefield, come on!" Li Dejian said to Wei Hao,

This time, Li Jing started to ask questions. He chose the arms of both sides, the area to fight, requirements, etc. This time, Li Dejian fought better than last time, but he was still defeated by Wei Hao, but Li Jing saw Li Dejian's progress.

"Okay, take a break, I want to play next time, Shenyong's sand table is very good!" Li Jing called Li Dejian and the others, and said.

"Yes, brother, take a break!" Wei Hao said, looking at Li Dejian with a smile.

The three of them sat on the tea table next to them and started to boil water to make tea.

"Shen Yong, this time the left and right military guards are going to change the military system. Your elder brother wants to confer the rank of lieutenant colonel. I guess you will also confer the rank of lieutenant colonel. If the whole army is restructured, then you must confer the rank of major general. After all, you are the governor, and you control the soldiers and civilians of the whole government. There are still more than 3 government soldiers in Luoyang. However, the whole country will not be changed now, mainly in the left and right military guards. You are a captain, and you are probably a lieutenant colonel !" Sitting there, Li Jing said to Wei Hao.

"That doesn't matter, but next, my elder brother may be able to transfer. A lieutenant colonel, if he wants to leave the capital for transfer, he may be promoted to colonel. When he goes to the local area, he can also serve as a commander, not to mention control There is still no problem with the soldiers of one mansion or half of the mansion!" Wei Hao nodded, looked at Li Jing and said!

"Not yet, I guess we will have to wait until the whole country's troops are reorganized. Many generals agree with your proposal this time. It is probably not a big problem. After the change, it will indeed be convenient for command!" Li Jing then turned to Wei Hao. Said.

"Well, I can't control whether to change it or not. It still depends on the emperor's intention. If it is changed, it will indeed be beneficial to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. By the way, father-in-law, tell me, this time Tuyuhun will be able to make the most of it. Is Tubo killing people?" Wei Hao thought of Tubo, looked at Li Jing and asked.

"It is impossible to defeat the disabled. The difference in strength between the two countries is too great. If Tuyuhun was not afraid of a huge threat to itself after Tubo stabilized, he probably would not have taken the risk. Tubo is a real threat to Tuyuhun. Of course, we So is Datang!" Li Jing looked at Wei Hao and said analytically.

"Then, next year, will Tubo counterattack Tuyuhun?" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and asked.

After hearing this, Li Jing smiled and asked Wei Hao, "What do you think?"

"I don't know. If I were Tubo, I would definitely not retaliate. I would like to stabilize Tuyuhun and Datang. Let them feel that Tubo will not take the initiative to attack. I want to cultivate for two years, and then find a chance to take down Tuyuhun. Then face Datang directly, and if Tubo wins Tuyuhun, then it may be difficult for us Datang to completely destroy Tubo!" Wei Hao thought about it, and immediately told Li Jing his thoughts.

"That's right, that's what Tubo is doing now. According to the news last night, Lu Dongzan went to Tang Dynasty again!" Li Jing said, looking at Wei Hao with a smile.

"Really come back?" Wei Hao widened his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Li Jing.

"It's already here. In this snowstorm, Tubo and Tuyuhun actually suffered losses. However, it is not as big as our Tang Dynasty, and now that Tuyuhun has been attacking Tubo, Tubo urgently needs to stabilize Datang in order to stabilize Tuyuhun. Therefore, He's here!" Li Jing nodded, looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"Yes, there are also experts in Tubo!" Wei Hao said with emotion.

"Of course there are experts, and Lu Dongzan is one of them. Songtsan Gampo trusts him very much. Basically, Lu Dongzan has the final say on the affairs of Tubo, and this person is also loyal to Songtsan Gampo. Your Majesty is actually very fond of Lu Dongzan, and even hopes that Lu Dongzan can come to the Tang Dynasty as an official, but this person will not come! This person is very familiar with our Central Plains culture, so we should keep this person in Tubo is bound to become a serious disaster!" Li Jing said as he sat there.

"Well, then stay!" Wei Hao thought for a while and said.

"That won't work. There's no reason. Besides, it's useless to force him to stay. He still needs to want to stay!" Li Jing said, shaking his head.

At this moment, Steward Wang rushed over and said to Wei Hao, "Young master, Duke Cheng, Duke Yuchi and several other generals, come here hand in hand! We've reached the front yard!"

"Ah, I'll go and have a look!" Upon hearing this, Wei Hao stood up quickly and walked outside.

And Li Jing heard it, and followed him. He knew what the purpose of those people came here, and he also wanted to play the sand table. His Majesty probably said it!
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Yuchi, Uncle Li, and Uncle Wang, why are you here?" Wei Hao went to the living room in the front yard and found that they had already reached the living room, so he immediately went over and said.

"You boy, you don't know if you have something good to tell!" Cheng Yaojin pointed at Wei Hao and said.

"Well, there is a loss, a loss, what a good thing?" Wei Hao cupped his hands again and again, and then looked at Cheng Yaojin incomprehensibly.

"What kind of commanding game is that!" Yuchi Jingde immediately reminded Wei Hao.

"Oh, yes, the sand table! It's only been a few days since I made it, and I don't know if it will work!" Wei Hao finally understood the purpose of their coming together. He probably wanted to see if the sand table would work, and then Li Jing also came in from behind. Yes, Cheng Yaojin and the others hurried over to say hello.

"I want to play that sand table. Let's go and have a look together. It is indeed a good thing. It is of great benefit to the cultivation of generals. Moreover, we can also enjoy ourselves, which is very good!" Li Jing smiled at Cheng Bite gold they said.

"Yes, His Majesty said that Shenyong has good things here, so let's come and have a look." Li Xiaogong also said with a smile, and then the group went to the greenhouse just now.

This time Wei Hao didn't go up, but let those veterans go up, Li Jing made a request, they remembered, and then deduced it on the sand table, the fight was fierce, Wei Hao watched carefully, and saw those veterans in some situations When it was not very clear, Wei Hao admired Wei Hao for making a decisive decision. Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. .

Those veterans are people who don't know how many battles they have fought, and their judgments on battles are sometimes very accurate. This can't be learned from the sand table, and you need to actually go to the battlefield to know.

Those people played at Wei Hao's mansion for a whole day, and Wei Hao also stood there watching for a whole day, and learned a lot of things, which were not found in the art of war. I am happy, I have made an appointment, and I will come back to kill in a few days. Wei Hao is of course welcome.

The next day, there was nothing to do in the house, and Wei Hao didn't plan to go out. He just sat at home, thinking about the scene of those old generals commanding the battle yesterday, and pushed it on the sand table by himself, simulating those generals fighting!

And outside, there are now a large number of carriages dragging bricks, lime, and tiles to the places where houses are to be built. Basically, as long as the main house collapses, bricks and tiles will be sent. These are all to be rebuilt. The money It is also paid by the court, so those refugees who help work are also very motivated.

Although there will be wages, the wages are not much, just 2 Wen, but basically they can be saved, so no matter how difficult the road is, those refugees who help work will send bricks, tiles and lime to them!

On this day, Wei Hao rode a horse and came to the Brick and Tile Workshop. Pauline was staring at him!
"Shen Yong is here?" Pauline was very happy when she saw Wei Hao coming.

Here, there are thousands of refugees working, three refugees per car, and 500 cars were bought for the brick house, specially used for loading bricks and tiles.

"Well, how is it now?" Wei Hao asked.

"All of them have gone out. These bricks just came out in the morning, and those people sent them outside. They said, send hot bricks, and they are still not cold!" Pauline turned her head and looked at the working people behind her, and said happily.

"That's good. It's not easy to feed them better. In fact, our profit is still very high!" Wei Hao said while looking at Yuchi Baolin.

"That is, there will be meat every day. Don't worry about that. We are not the kind of black-hearted businessmen. Your father can spend so much money to do good deeds. We can still be stingy!" Yuchi Baolin smiled at Wei Hao said, then looked at Wei Hao and asked:

"What are you doing at the workshop today?"

"No, it's mainly because I'm bored at home. I came out to get some air and see how the refugees are living now. I just went to other workshops and saw those people living in the warehouse. It's still very good, very It keeps warm, and I feel relieved a lot!" Wei Hao shook his head and said to Pauline.

"That's okay, go to drink tea, let's go, basically we don't need to manage here, we employ about 4000 people to work, and we find money every day, those pedestrians work very hard, don't worry about it, just rush to do it Don't tell me, thank you!" Pauline pulled Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao also followed him to the office room, and the two sat there drinking tea.

"Shen Yong, it's better for you to come out less now. You don't know how many people want to find opportunities to talk business with you, hoping to make money in Luoyang. They all know that if they want to make a fortune in Luoyang, there is no With your permission, that’s not acceptable. Many people want to come here to establish a good relationship, and some people entrust us. Some prominent families in some places and some big businessmen want to talk to you, but they don’t have the qualifications to come. See you!" Pauline said while sitting there pouring tea for Wei Hao.

"Don't worry about them, Luoyang is definitely able to make money, but this money can only rely on their own ability. It is impossible to get any benefits from me or from the common people. I will agree, if I rely on my own ability, then there is nothing to say, and I will not make things difficult for others!" Wei Hao said with a smile and waved his hands, Pauline nodded when she heard it, and Wei Hao sat here for a while, then gone back.

When some people learned that Wei Hao had gone to the Green Brick Workshop, they regretted it and missed the opportunity to meet.

After Wei Hao returned to the mansion, he would either lie in the conservatory reading a book and bask in the sun, with maidservants around him serving him, or he would deduce the sand table in the sand table conservatory, or he would sit in his study and write.

Everything that has been written needs to be stored, and it cannot be easily read by others.

This morning, just after Wei Hao woke up, he received a call letter. Wei Hao opened it and found that it was from Lu Dongzan. Lu Dongzan has arrived in Chang'an at this moment, and it has been two days. He came to visit Wei specially today. Hao.

"Please!" Wei Hao said to the manager next to him, and then he went to the greenhouse and ordered the servants to cut the cold melon, while Wei Hao sat there and made tea.After a while, Lu Dongzan came in, much more haggard than last time I saw him.

"Meet Xia Guogong!" Lu Dongzan said immediately after seeing Wei Hao.

"Hey, why did this happen? Come on, please sit down, what's the matter?" Wei Hao looked at Lu Dongzan in surprise and said. When Lu Dongzan heard it, he smiled wryly in his heart, but he thanked him and sat down.

"Come on, try our Datang's cold melon, which you provided to us before, now try our Datang's!" Wei Hao smiled and said to Lu Dongzan, holding a cold melon.

Lu Dongzan felt even more uncomfortable. This cold melon is a specialty of Tubo. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Tang Dynasty, he actually ate cold melon in winter. You say it is annoying.

"Why are you like this?" Wei Hao pointed at Lu Dongzan and continued to ask.

"Did Xia Guogong not read your palace newspaper?" Lu Dongzan looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Oh, you don't know me yet. I'm the laziest person in Datang. Besides, I never read the Dibao, let alone the Dibao. I don't even read the books! What happened?" Wei Hao said He still stared at Lu Dongzan and asked.

"Tuyuhun took advantage of the fact that we had just moved the capital and had not yet gained a firm foothold, so he launched a violent attack on us, causing us heavy losses. No, I came to Datang to ask for help, and I hope that Datang can make peace between our two countries! "Lu Dongzan said to Wei Hao.

"Ah. There's a fight? Tuyuhun still dares to fight you. He's quite courageous. Eh, no, we agreed at the beginning that we would send troops to the border of Tuyuhun so that they would not dare to act without authorization. Do they still dare to send troops?" Wei Hao looked at Lu Dongzan with a confused face while talking.

Lu Dongzan looked at Wei Hao, wondering if this kid did it on purpose, but thinking about his name, Wei Hanzi, it doesn't look like an act now.

"Hey, we don't know, but we need your help this time!" Lu Dongzan said to Wei Hao.

"Say! If you can help me, I will definitely help!" Wei Hao said while patting his chest.

"It's like this. This time, many of our refugees have fled to your Datang territory. Thanks to your kind deeds, those people can have food. However, we don't want to increase the burden on your Datang. I hope that your Datang can come from the front line. How about allocating 20 shi of grain to us in Tubo, and we will treat those victims?" Lu Dongzan looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Okay, what's wrong with this, no problem, I will definitely tell my father!" Wei Hao nodded affirmatively, thinking in his heart, saying that I will definitely talk about it, but I will decide whether it succeeds or not. I no longer know.

"Here, please convince Tian Khan to agree!" Lu Dongzan then said to Wei Hao.

"Here, my father doesn't agree? Why don't you agree?" Wei Hao looked at Lu Dongzan with a puzzled expression and asked.

"I don't know about this, anyway, Tian Khan said he disagreed, don't worry, we are willing to pay half of the money, and the other half, well, I hope Datang can help us!" Lu Dongzan said to Wei Hao.

"Is that so, pay half of the money? Well, okay, let me talk about it!" Wei Hao nodded, then looked at Lu Dongzan and asked suspiciously: "There is no shortage of food over there!"

"Lack, why not? Hey, what is most lacking now is food, so please help me!" Lu Dongzan said hurriedly, clasping his hands.

"Why is there a shortage? There is no reason!" Wei Hao said still pretending to be confused.

"Hey, it's hard to say. In short, please help me more. In addition, I also want to thank you for the business we talked about last time. But now, I can't bring this money to Datang. Tubo is now You need money urgently, so there is no way to give you a big gift, I will definitely make it up next time!" Lu Dongzan said to Wei Hao.

"It's okay, it's okay, this is a small matter, anyway, our profit has already been made, and you have made a lot of it, but if you really make money, it stands to reason that the Jieri Dynasty has more food Ah, wouldn't it be better for you to buy from them?" Wei Hao continued to stare at Lu Dongzan and asked.

"That's what I said, but it's hard to transport them here in winter. In addition, I found that you have a lot of big carriages here. It seems that they were made by you. I wonder if you can sell me two hundred?" Lu Dongzan then looked at Wei Hao and said.

"You don't want to look for me. It's useless to look for me. The current order has been scheduled until June of next year, and the needs of the army have not been counted. The Ministry of War said that it needs [-] vehicles. I didn't agree. Don't say it now. Two hundred, even two, I can't help it, now I don't even have a few such carriages in my own house!" Wei Hao quickly waved his hands and refused.

Just kidding, who doesn't want such a carriage now, if it is given to Tubo, Tubo will mobilize food much faster then.

"Here, you just have to think of a way!" Lu Dongzan begged Wei Hao again when he heard Wei Hao's refusal.
