Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 832 The Beginning

Sun Moon Lake.

"Should be in time, right?" Li Shan and Zhu Wei stood outside the construction site, "Seventh Uncle, we'll hire more young men later, the brick factory also needs manpower for blasting embryos."

Zhu Wei smacked his lips, "Give it a try, now that the autumn harvest is over, all Zhechong prefectures are going to summon their soldiers to practice."

That's right, the young and strong on the side of Sun Moon Lake are not on the roster of the government soldiers, but other surrounding villages don't have such treatment. For this reason, many young people on Zhuangzi's side can pick and choose their wives, and most of them want to marry Daughter married in.

"It's really not possible, let the new house be suspended, and the manpower will be transferred." Li Shan made up his mind, "Anyway, we will welcome the relatives in May next year. Last winter was heavy snow, and this year is not going to be much better. Hou Chen and Hou Hongtao are still there. There are 500 people living in Dongshan Temple."

Seeing Li Shan's firm attitude, Zhu Wei could only nod his head, thinking that when the young lady of the Cui family passed through the door, she would have to take care of the warehouse in the future... Both the eldest lady and the big man were loose-handed, spending money like running water, nothing at all don't feel bad.

"By the way, I mentioned something privately with the Linji County Lord yesterday..." Li Shan said in a low voice, "King Wu is currently idle in Beijing, but he has a lot of money."

"Borrowing money again?" Zhu Wei lamented bitterly: "Dalang's new house and these new houses...the accounts are not clear, and it will be very troublesome in the future."

"Many of the personal guards studied arithmetic with my nephew in Dai County, and some of them have clear accounts." Li Shan said casually, "It doesn't matter if you borrow more, and it doesn't matter if you pay it back later."

Every morning in Zhuangzi, Si Nong Temple was completely forgotten by Li Shan, went to the city in the afternoon, inspected the gates of the imperial city with Su Dingfang or Zhang Zhongjian, walked around without any accidents and went home.

At that time, Li Shan was still unknown. How could he expect to have such a status a few years later? He only wanted to store more food to survive the famine caused by the locust plague from the end of Wude to the early years of Zhenguan in his memory.

To Li Shan's surprise, he had a very good reputation in the Beiya Imperial Army.

But now there is no need for this. On the one hand, Li Shan can mobilize too many resources. On the other hand, Zhuangzi's population has expanded nearly ten times in a few years. Dongshan Temple's secret warehouses are all full.

And around Li Shan...Su Dingfang issued a strict order, with Wang Junhao and Qu Silang as the leaders, and divided into two groups. No matter where Li Shan is, there must be thirty personal guards by his side, even in the imperial city. Anyway, these two people They all have titles and can enter and leave the imperial city.

Afterwards, Su Dingfang transferred many of Li Shan's old troops from Shuozhou and Daizhou. In addition, the left and right Qianniuwei were severely damaged in the battle of Tiantai Mountain, and many of Li Shan's personal guards were recruited. Li Shan's basic position in the Beiya Forbidden Army is quite stable.

He Lou Xingshu was the first batch of personal guards recruited by Li Shan in Daixian County. Later, he was in charge of horse affairs for a long time, and he still calls Li Shan "Lang Jun" instead of "His Royal Highness".

Such a day is already leisurely enough... However, Li Shan's control over the Imperial Army of the Beiya is not low, not to mention Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, Ma Sanbao, and Li Keshi who are generals and generals, many of them are in the army The personal guards and the old department will send news, and quite a few of them live in Zhuangzi.

The main reason for buying grain now is that in the next few years, grain and rice will still be the most guaranteed hard currency. When Li Shan was planning to build Xia City, he exchanged Ma Yin and Yuhuchun for grain, which was the beginning of Dongshan Temple's secret warehouse.

Hello daughter, little padded jacket, little lover from the previous life!

Li Shanxu whipped his whip and went over, "Isn't it just that I have given birth to a daughter, I wish I could have a daughter!"

Under such circumstances, Li Shan recommended Kan Leng as General Youqianniuwei. If you get closer, you may be able to help at any time.

Since Li Yuan ordered him to take charge of the palace ban, Li Shan could no longer stay at home and live a happy life, but even so, his life was quite happy.

On the one hand, this is because the Beiya imperial army was originally under the control of Princess Pingyang. A few years ago, Princess Pingyang transferred many old troops from Taiyuan to enrich. Of the hundreds of personal guards that the princess lent to Li Shan, many of them made meritorious service in Shuozhou and were selected into the Beiya Forbidden Army.

Since Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji were whipped by Luo Yi in the Forbidden Garden a few years ago, the Forbidden Garden has become the private land of the East Palace, and King Qin's lineage has never been willing to go... After all, the Changlin Army is stationed on the north side of the East Palace in the Forbidden Garden.

With the current situation of seizing the heir apparent, Li Shan guessed that Pei Shiju must make some moves, but no matter what kind of action, the Changlin Army must be the top priority. Lin Jun, Pei Shiju's claws are numb.

That's natural. In some respects, Li Shan has always adhered to the concept of his previous life and doesn't value status, so he often gets along with the soldiers below. This behavior can basically be said to be the only one... because the Beiya imperial army is not Li Shan's private army, let alone Li Shan's personal guard.

"If you have enough money, go buy grain and rice, and try to fill up the secret warehouse of Dongshan Temple." Li Shan confessed that when he made his first pot of gold in his early years, he began to ask Zhu Wei to buy grain as much as possible. rice.

As for those generals and schools, Li Shan treated Zhang Jin, a famous minister of the Sui Dynasty, as a junior, Zhang Cong and Li Keshi as his son and nephew, and chatted freely with Li Gaoqian, Kan Leng, and Ma Sanbao. Although the two were respectful to Li Shan, they were not close.

He Lou Xingshu chuckled, "Who did you listen to, sir?"

Of course, the Jianghuai army was completely wiped out at the beginning of last year, Wu Wang Du Fuwei has nothing to rely on, only Kan Leng and dozens of personal guards are around him, Kan Leng can still make great achievements in official affairs, and Du Fuwei, who once dominated one side, has nothing to rely on. There is absolutely no such possibility.

A few soldiers and generals gathered around, and Li Shan laughed casually, "The day after tomorrow will be the Double Ninth Festival, and His Majesty will worship the heavens in the Forbidden Garden, everyone, pay attention."

On the other hand, because of Li Shan's friendly attitude, no one in the army knows that the King of Handan is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he is also a famous general in the world, but he has no arrogance. , everyone felt that Li Huairen was worthy of the name of benevolence and righteousness.

After going around as usual, Li Shan met He Lou Xingshu at Zhuque Gate, and scolded: "I heard that you have been in a bad mood for the past few days?"

Uh, it's not good at all. In this era, Cui Xin is a rare favorite, but Li Shan is not a time traveler.

After explaining a few words, Li Shan drove his horse into Chang'an under the protection of dozens of personal guards... Ever since Pei Xuanji died in Huating, Li's residence has always been watched by dozens of personal guards regardless of day or night.

The Double Ninth Festival, in the later generations, basically only respects the elderly. In fact, in ancient times, the Double Ninth Festival has two main aspects.

Li Shan pondered in his heart, Chen Xuande, Yang Siyi and others had already posted posts, Li Shan didn't want to go...he would definitely have to write a poem if he went there, knowing that his brothers climbed to a high place, and there was one less person planted with dogwood, which is not appropriate.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of heavy horse hoofs came suddenly. Li Shan looked back, his heart skipped a beat, and a knight galloped towards him.

Suzaku Gate is the main gate of the imperial city, and there is only one possibility for this to happen, the military report to Beijing, and it will definitely not be a good news.
