People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 615 Worshiping Eyes

Songtsan Gampo stood there watching for a long time, when Li Xiaogong came up and said, "What are you looking at?"

Seeing Li Xiaogong, Songtsan Gampo saluted and said, "Why have I never seen these bows before?"

Li Xiaogong looked at the soldiers who were practicing arrows and said, "This is a compound bow made by Li Zhengxin, which is very easy to use."

If you want to shoot the arrow far enough and accurate enough, you need a certain amount of strength, and the sense of distance and precision all depend on experience.

And it needs constant practice. For an archer, a bow is prepared for one person, and changing it at will will make an archer's ability unstable.

Songtsan Gampo asked again: "Dare to ask, is this kind of bow used in the Tang army now?"

Li Xiaogong nodded, "Now we have replaced these bows and arrows in the Wei Mansion of our Tang Dynasty, and in addition to these, there are also three-edged thorns and new-style horizontal knives."

"What is the three-edged thorn?"

Seeing Songtsan Gampo's puzzled expression, Li Xiaogong explained: "The old man has only seen the three-edged thorn. It is said that the people who are stabbed by the three-edged thorn are basically hopeless, and it is only used by the frontier troops in the Hexi Corridor. Pass."

After hearing these Songtsan Gampo fell silent.

Li Xiaogong looked at his expression and said again: "Look around casually, you are going to leave for Tubo within half a month."

Songtsan Gampo was still in a daze. It turned out that the weapons used by Tubo all along were not used by Datang anymore.

It's no wonder that Datang can be confident.

He even spent so much money to buy weapons that no one else used.

Songtsan Gampo laughed at himself, looked up at the sky, and wanted to scold the gods of Tubo for not protecting Tubo.

Li Zheng and Li Ji have also finished discussing, this expedition has nothing to do with the Longwu Army.

Li Junxian still guards the Longwu army.

On the way back to the village, Li Ji asked Li Zheng: "You are the commander of the Longwu Army now. This old man has always wanted to ask you why you never go to the Longwu Army."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "I only know how to raise horses. Just let me raise horses. To be a general? I'm not that material."

After looking Li Zheng up and down, Li Ji said with disgust, "You are indeed not that kind of material, you are too thin."

Li Zheng sighed melancholy.

Li Ji said again: "I don't see your family eating less meat on weekdays. How come you are so thin and thin, and you know to do some things that you don't know about all day long. A man should do something that a man should do." .”

Li Zheng asked: "Dare to ask, what are the things a man should do?"

Li Ji didn't have a good face and said like scolding his own nephew: "Of course it's Mr. a child."

Li Zheng said with a sad face: "General, you are embarrassing me."

……

Back in the village, Li Ji went to help Li Daxiong in farming.

Li Zheng came to the printing factory again, and Li Yifu reported the situation here, and now [-] to [-] sheets of paper are produced in an hour.

Looking at the rotary machine in operation, the operation of the conveyor belt can be considered stable.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "This semi-automatic rotary machine needs to be checked and repaired frequently. It is not allowed to work at night, and the stove for drying paper must be extinguished every day after it is shut down."

Li Yifu recorded Li Zheng's words in the book, and said along the way: "Chang'an Order, the new season's cotton seeds have been planted. According to our estimates, this year's planting is three times as much as last year. Add a few more cotton looms."

Li Zheng nodded, "Let Yan Liben take someone to make it."

Speaking of which, Li Yifu is in a bit of trouble, "Chang'an Ling, Master Yan is currently building a new academy, and he is also very busy now, so I don't think he has the time."

Li Zheng said again: "Then ask the children in the academy to help."

Li Yifu nodded, "Understood."

"What are you doing all this time?"

Li Zheng said that the silent vomiting has become Mr. Mo, and Li Yifu said: "These days have been in the Taoist temple."

Li Zheng said to him: "Take my message and tell him that after half a month, let him go to Tubo to collect weapons on the battlefield. It's time for him to make a fortune."

Li Yifu continued to record in the booklet.

"Satisfaction can be sent back to Dali Temple. The negotiation has been completed. If you continue to stay here, you should not be able to sit still at Dali Temple."

Li Yifu put away the brochure, "I'm going to do business here."

If you want to say that Li Yifu is loyal, it may not be true. If you want to say that this person is active in doing things, he sometimes procrastinates in doing things.

He is a person who will find his own future. If he finds that the backer he is looking for is unreliable, he will immediately distance himself from him.

When I got home, I saw that it was still early and I could go back to take a nap.

It was strange that Li Lizhi was not busy with rectifying the business at this time.

Seeing Li Lizhi sitting aside peeling a pot of grapes for himself, Li Zheng became vigilant.

Nothing to show courtesy?This woman is going to be a demon today?

After eating a grape that had already been peeled, Li Zheng tentatively said, "This grape tastes good."

Throw out a sentence first, and test what this woman will say.

Li Lizhi carefully peeled the grapes and said: "These are grapes that were brought as a tribute from the Western Regions. They were sent to the Queen Mother as soon as they were delivered to the palace."

Li Zheng ate another grape, "Thank your mother for me."

After Li Lizhi was still staring at her, Li Zheng closed his clothes and cleared his throat, "Your Highness, why do you keep looking at me?"

Li Lizhi poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Li Zheng, "I have eaten too many grapes, do you feel a little astringent in your mouth?"

Holding the hot tea in his hand, Li Zheng looked at Li Lizhi, "Your Highness, can you speak directly?"

Asked Xu Hui to move a chair, Li Lizhi sat down beside him and said, "I know all about the negotiation between you and Tubo Songtsan Gampo."

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "So?"

"Songtsan Gampo borrowed 500 million guan, and all of these 500 million guan were used for military pay. Is it right to buy military equipment and food?"

Li Zheng nodded.

"That is to say, all the food purchased by our family must be redeemed with the money borrowed by Songtsan Gampo, right?"

Li Zheng still nodded.

Li Lizhi said again: "Then this negotiation, not only can we not pay a penny, but we can also use the food we collected before to make a fortune for Tubo, because the money was lent to him, but how can he say no to it?" Forget it, use the money he borrowed to buy our grain, and then he will pay us back the money, as for the value of Songtsan Gampo’s 500 million guan, it is up to us.”

Li Zheng took a sip of tea, Li Lizhi's business sense is still good.

In the eyes of some people, money is just money. In the eyes of others, money is just a standard used to measure value.

I have to say that Li Lizhi's thinking and direction are correct.

"Although Songtsan Gampo borrowed 500 million guanbu in this negotiation, the Tang Dynasty has the final say on how much the 500 million guanbo can be exchanged for, and Songtsan Gampo has no bargaining power. Because his Tubo has gone bankrupt."

After hearing what Li Lizhi said, Li Zheng put down his teacup, "Your Highness, do you need to be so close when you talk?"

Only then did Li Lizhi realize that something was wrong with her posture.
