Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

"Look, this way..."

While Li Shan was talking, he rubbed his hands vigorously, and the five or six-year-old boy next to him screamed, danced and chased after the flying bamboo dragonfly.

"Huiren is quite childlike." Chai Shao joked with a smile, "Next time someone from the Feng family comes to Beijing, I have to ask..."

Li Shan rolled his eyes, thinking that he would have to change his rhetoric in the future, and couldn’t push it to Lingnan every time... Uh, just like poetry and prose, it was all thrown to Lingnan at first, and then privately said that it was the dream of the gods. teach.

Most people don't believe this kind of statement, but there are also some who are dubious... For example, Ma Zhou, Ling Jing and others who are most familiar with Li Shan.

"Uncle, uncle." The little boy ran back holding the bamboo dragonfly, begging Li Shan to fly again.

This little boy is Chai Zhewei, the eldest son of Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao. Naturally, his name is Uncle Li Shan... In the eyes of the little guy, this little uncle is much more fun than other uncles, and can play a lot.

Li Shan rubbed his hands casually, and Chai Zhewei followed the flying bamboo dragonfly and ran away. Presumably, for him, this kind of experience is relatively rare... Chai Shao has been idle at home for more than a year, even if the matter is delivered by Ma Yin It is said that Kai Meng is in charge of his two sons.

"Is third sister still not well?"

As Li Shan was speaking, Princess Pingyang came out from the inner room, and while walking, she touched the cotton-padded jacket on her body with a strange look. At that time, she ordered the guards to collect most of the cotton seeds. It can be filled with clothes to keep warm.

"not bad."

Princess Pingyang simply praised her, which made her husband beside her laugh.

Chai Shao was really speechless, because Li Shan came to the house, and his wife asked for leave and waited at home, but the goods delivered two cotton-padded jackets, can these things be worn out?
Uh, it’s really not very good-looking. It was Li Shan who drew the blueprints and asked Zhou and Xiaoman to sew them. It is almost the style of the green army coat of later generations... Chai Shao refused immediately. He couldn’t afford to lose this person, but Pingyang The princess is willing to give it a try.

Enduring it again and again, Chai Shao complained: "Huiren went to Daizhou Nian Xu, it is said that every time he sends a letter back to Chang'an, it is sent to Cui's residence in a big box and a small box..."

The meaning is obvious, how many treasures did you give to Cui Shiniang, and our husband and wife supported you in Chang'an, so you use this thing to fool us?

Li Shanqian laughed a few times, while Princess Pingyang glanced at her husband, pinched the bulge of the padded jacket with her right hand, and said suddenly: "In addition to keeping out the cold, if you fill it with other... maybe it can also defend against bows and arrows."

After hearing this, Li Shan was taken aback, this focus is so special!

Although you are one of the most famous female generals in history, you are still a woman after all. You don't care about whether the padded jacket is bloated and unattractive, but whether the padded jacket can withstand bows and arrows?

But Li Shan immediately remembered that there seemed to be cotton armor in history, but it had to wait until the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Shan said excitedly, "Third Sister has good eyesight!"

"Put an iron piece in the cotton and fix it again." Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "You can make a few pairs later and try it in the Forbidden Garden."

In fact, the cotton armor of the Ming Dynasty was mainly used to defend against firearms. Of course, it also had a good defense against bows and arrows. Li Shan responded and talked about weapons supervision.

Princess Pingyang didn't understand for a while, and Chai Shao scolded with a smile: "The Weapons Supervision doesn't care about these things. Although the Weapons Supervision was built in the first year of Wude, there were Armor Department, Bow and Crossbow Department, etc., but later they were all transferred to the Shaofu."

"Oh oh oh!" Li Shan was overjoyed, the deal was considered successful... In the early Tang Dynasty, the mines were under the management of the Shaofu. Li Shan mined ore in Daizhou, made horseshoes and armaments, and it was Princess Pingyang who cleared the relationship.

With Li Yuan and Princess Pingyang advertising, the military supply business has not run away, and the subsequent promotion and mass planting will be much more convenient.

Or Princess Pingyang's special focus, I didn't even think of cotton armor!

"It's really for business."

Faced with Chai Shao's ridicule, Li Shanli was confident, "This is a military and national event!"

"Besides, a gentleman loves money, so get it in a proper way!"

"There is a proper way to get it?" Chai Shao sneered twice, "Do you want to read to you the memorial of Yushitai impeaching you for attacking the city...It is said that [-]% of the property looted in Zuoyun County is yours ?”

Li Shan shrank back, nodded and said, "Fifty percent belongs to my younger brother, and thirty percent of it was distributed to the soldiers killed in battle in Guji Town, and the remaining two percent was distributed by Ma Sanbao."

Chai Shao's nose is almost crooked by anger, horse nose, you will drag our husband and wife together if you do this kind of thing... But Ma Sanbao must send out the guards who followed Li Shan to fight to the death in Guji Town, in name It was sent by Princess Pingyang, but some of them were also Chai Shao's personal guards.

"Okay!" Princess Pingyang snorted, "Si Nongqing became an official yesterday, and today several censors impeached... In a few days, the appointment will probably come down."

"Yeah." Li Shan thought of those guards who died in the battle, and his mood was slightly depressed. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Third sister, Du Xiao..."

Princess Pingyang sent her personal guards twice successively. The leader was Du Xiao. He made great contributions to attacking the camp on a snowy night in Mayi last year. This time in the battle of Guji Town, he fought bloody battles at the top of the city, and his left hand was chopped off from the wrist. Afterwards, he insisted on going out of the city to fight to the death, and fell off his horse in a charge. Fortunately, he was not trampled by a horse's hoof.

"I'm going to Daizhou." Chai Shao said softly: "Ma Yin was taken back to the court, naturally it was Taipu Temple who presided over it, but a certain side couldn't let go of it for a while. Du Xiao was in Daizhou. Get him."

"Since going to the battlefield, it is life and death." Princess Pingyang glanced at Li Shan displeased, "After the war, the pension is generous, you don't have to."

What else can Li Shan say, after all, he lived in a peaceful age in his previous life, and he is fundamentally different from the generals of this era in this respect... It is also hard for him to imagine himself becoming a person like Li Jing.

After chatting for a while, it was already noon, a few people were drinking lightly in the side hall, and Chai Zhewei, who was sweating profusely from playing, took a few mouthfuls of food obediently or carefully, and was sent back, kind father and strict mother.

"Although this battle is dangerous, he still survived and made a great contribution." Princess Pingyang said softly, "Even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, Pei Shiju will not dare to act rashly."

The meaning is obvious, now that Li Shan's reputation is well-known in the country, and he has made great contributions to the country, and with the support of his wife, even if Pei Shiju wanted to take action against Li Shan, it would be difficult for him to succeed.

Li Shan didn't say anything, just raised his hand and drank it down.

If before the Shandong war, Li Shan took the risk to rescue Princess Pingyang with the backing of this well-known female general in the clan, Li Shan really didn't have to worry, at most it was just that his official career was not going well.

But it is a pity that during the Shandong war, Li Shan hooked up with Li Shimin through Li Keshi, and then joined his subordinates... It is hard to turn back.

Now that Pei Shiju went to the East Palace, it was nothing more than a plan for his heirs, to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent the heirs after his death from being eradicated by Li Shan.
