Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 459: Chapter 470

Recently, people who fled the war returned to their hometowns. Because Chang'an had just experienced war and needed to be rebuilt, and Li Hao's old site of Lantian Hou Mansion also started to build a villa, and the school also had to be rebuilt, so there was a craftsman craze in Chang'an for a while. Folk craftsmen Really in short supply.

Fortunately, Li Guocheng started early and was willing to spend money. He recruited thousands of craftsmen and began to build the school and Li Hao's summer resort. When the students who graduated from Li Hao School heard that their alma mater was going to be rebuilt, they rushed to join the school In the reconstruction army, among these people, there are hundreds of people from a family of craftsmen. They called their fathers, uncles, etc., and nearly a thousand craftsmen came. The reconstruction of Li Hao's school and the villa is in full swing. very fast.

On February [-]th, Li Hao discussed with seventeen teachers in the temporary teacher's office to vigorously establish a scientific research institute and set up special research groups for various sciences. And Li Hao is responsible for providing them with technical support and research funds. This is probably not a small amount. After all, scientific research in this era requires the use of some very rare things. If you want to get these rare things, you need Spend a lot of money to collect and build.

After discussing for a whole morning, Li Hao finally finalized various details with them.At this time, special forces came to report, and three people outside the palace begged to see him, the leader with one arm.

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

Li Hao opened the side door with a few special forces, and immediately saw Situ Feng and Zeng Yulin's father and daughter standing outside the door. The three saluted when they met: "Master!" "Meet King Qiongnan!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy, come, come in." Li Hao waved his hands with a smile and invited them in. His attitude was very easy-going. They are all from the Jianghu, so there is no need to pay attention to those etiquettes with them. Besides, he doesn't like those people very much. Courtesy, so annoying.

Welcoming them into the courtyard and into the living room, Li Hao looked at Situ Feng. He hadn't seen him for a long time, and saw that this guy had lost a lot of weight and was haggard. His sleeves were empty on the broken arm, which made him feel sad for a while.

As soon as Li Hao sat down, he said, "Feng, these days, as a teacher, I'm really worried about you, because I'm afraid you won't 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 almost wanted to die, but after Senior Zeng's comfort, I gradually thought about it."

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

"Your Majesty, you are ashamed to be a hero." Zeng Yulin waved his hands and chuckled, "Actually Zeng didn't say anything, just told Situ some things he had seen and heard in the world. I’ve seen it all with my own eyes.”

Situ Feng nodded and said, "Yes, during times of famine, the common people tried their best to survive for one bite of food, but I lost an arm, so that's nothing. As long as I'm still alive, there are infinite possibilities."

"I'm very happy that you think so." Li Hao looked at Situ Feng with relief, and said, "Actually, as your master, I should enlighten you on these principles, but at that time I was anxious to come to Chang'an King Qin, and I couldn't stay. It was my fault to enlighten you, but fortunately, you can comprehend it by yourself, which is beyond my expectation."

"Master!" Situ Feng said solemnly, "It is my blessing that I have cultivated for ten lifetimes to be able to worship you as my teacher in this life. I will definitely follow you by your side in the future, let you drive me, and I will live forever without regrets."

Li Hao waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's serious, I accept you as a disciple because I want you to carry forward our school's sword skills, not to motivate you, you must practice martial arts well in the future, and don't let down the teacher expect."

"En!" Situ Feng nodded vigorously, his eyes full of burning light.

Li Hao turned his head to look at Zeng Yulin's father and daughter, and asked with a smile, "Hero Zeng, where are you two planning to go next?"

Zeng Yulin sighed with a faint smile: "My father and daughter have always lived in no fixed place, and their homes are all over the world. Naturally, they will go to the rivers and lakes to continue wandering."

Li Hao sighed for a while when he heard the words. He used to envy the knights of the rivers and lakes at ease, but now he feels that the knights of the rivers and lakes wandering in the rivers and lakes is really sad, so he said: "If you two have the heart, I would like to invite you to be my guest. Both of you have martial arts skills. You are not an ordinary person, so if you want to protect the safety of my palace, this king will help you arrange it properly, and in terms of remuneration, this king will not treat you badly, what do you think?"

Zeng Yulin instinctively wanted to refuse. After seeing his martial arts, many officials extended an olive branch to him, but he refused them all. He didn't want to deal with people in the officialdom, so he wanted to be a clean Ranger, roaming the rivers and lakes.

But he noticed the look in his daughter's eyes. When Li Hao said that he wanted to invite them to be house guests, Zeng Yihan's face was obviously very happy, and his eyes lit up. Zeng Yulin couldn't help but look dark. Watching his daughter wander around the world, he always thought that his daughter was used to this kind of life, but he found out today that she also 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 respect, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Then it's settled, I will ask Situ Feng to arrange a place for you father and daughter later, Zeng Daxia is a hero of the day, and I must get close to Zeng Daxia when I have free time."

"My lord is too flattering." Zeng Yulin cupped his fists modestly.

Soon, when it was time for dinner, Li Hao invited them to have lunch together, and chatted while eating. Zeng Yulin was more interested in Li Hao's battle with the king. After all, this battle saved the Tang Dynasty, and Li Hao On the other hand, they were full of longing for the strange people and strange things in the world, and the two exchanged information, and they ate this meal for more than an hour.

After dinner, Zeng Yulin resigned, 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 person traveled decades earlier than himself, but He believed that as long as he practiced hard, he would be able to surpass him.

The weather in Guanzhong in February is still quite cold, but Li Hao is already sweating profusely after practicing his sword skills. He just put away his sword and was about to take a bath when Feiying suddenly walked into the courtyard quickly and greeted each other: "Your Majesty .” He glanced around while speaking, apparently he had something confidential to report.

Seeing this, Li Hao said, "Come to the study and talk."

After finishing speaking, he brought Feiying to the study, and after entering the study, he closed the door, Feiying said: "My lord, Jin Li has already started moving the army in batches to Luoyang."

Li Hao nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, I have also sent Feige to Qiongnan and Liuqiu, and they will send a fleet over soon, you ask Jin Li and the others to wait in Luoyang first, be careful, don't expose yourself , more than 7 people, that's not a small number, it's very eye-catching."

"Don't worry, my lord." Feiying nodded vigorously, "We usually act at night, and Luoyang is a bastard, we 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. You are walking outside, what rumors do you hear?"

Feiying said: "Yes, the people heard that the agricultural tax was cut in half, and they were all very happy and happy, but they didn't seem to know that it was you who proposed it, and they kept singing praises for the emperor."

"It doesn't matter." Li Hao smiled and waved his hands. "I don't care about these things. It's not good for a person to have too much fame among the people. The emperor likes these false names, so let him."

Fei Ying said again: "Also, many merchants are cursing you, my lord. I don't know who told them that it was you who proposed to levy merchant tax."

Li Hao smiled lightly and said, "It must be the fault of those idle ministers in the court. Let them scold you, and they will get used to it."

Feiying suddenly frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the new tax system has only been implemented for three days, and nearly a hundred shops or vendors have closed down in Chang'an City. Will this..."

"Don't worry about it." Li Hao smiled confidently and waved his hands. "The market economy is survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest. Even if the new tax system is not implemented, it is estimated that those traders will not be able to survive for a long time, and the new tax system will only speed up their demise. Speed, this is called big waves scouring the sand, remove all the unsatisfactory ones, and leave behind the essence. As for those traders who have closed their doors, hehe, they can go home and farm. Farming is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and now the harvest in the fields has doubled. It is more than two or three times higher, and the agricultural tax has also been reduced by half, so that farming can make a steady profit, and this is the real emphasis on agriculture and restraining business.”

Feiying scratched his head and said: "I heard from you, my lord, that this is indeed the truth."

On the third day of March, when the weather warmed up on the grasslands in Mobei, the withered yellow grassland gradually became green. A group of people crossed the desert and the grasslands, and arrived at the Western Turkic Court of Sanmi Mountain. The leader was Gar Qinling.

This time, the Garqin Mausoleum used Tubo envoys to meet the Western Turkic Khan. The current Western Turkic Khan is called Ashina Helu and Shaboluo 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 khans.

Ashina Helu was a little unwilling about Tubo's raid on Datang this time. He could have taken the opportunity to attack Datang, and maybe he could divide up Tang Dynasty with Tubo in one fell swoop. Of course, it was mainly because of Gar Dongzan's war. The speed was too fast, and they reached Chang'an in two months. At that time, they got the news from the Western Turks. When he prepared his army and prepared to attack Datang, he arrived at the border of Datang and received the news. King Li Haoqin , the regiment wiped out the Tubo army, and Gal Dongzan was killed in battle.

Ashina Helu immediately hesitated, Anxi Dufu Mansion and Beiting Duhu Mansion were already in full battle, he knew that the opportunity had been lost, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

This time it was a female general who was in charge of going out of the city to greet Garqin Mausoleum, dressed in white robes and silver armor, riding out of the city to meet her. Garqin Mausoleum was a little crazy for a while when he saw her gallant and heroic figure coming slowly on horseback. In the Tubo language, he said to himself: "What a beautiful girl, I must have her in my life!"
