Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 742 Preparation
Sun Moon Lake.

Li Shan sat at the entrance of the main hall with his legs crossed in boredom, thinking in his heart that it was already February, and it was time to do something... He couldn't spend his days in Sinong Temple every day. In his previous life, he was always a model of hard work.

Tongzhou has already communicated with it, and it is said that there is no shortage of manpower, fields, and cattle. Last year, Li Shante brought several farmers who tried to grow cotton in Daizhou to move to Zhuangzi, and he was not lacking in experience.

Cotton seeds have already been prepared. After all, Li Shan was a farmer in his previous life. He has never eaten pork but has seen pigs running. He thought that on the one hand, he should pay attention to weeding when the seeds germinate, and on the other hand, he should pay attention to fertilization... In this era Fertilizers are relatively primitive, and methods such as manure accumulation and retting may not exist, but at least they have not spread.

And the most important point is that after the cotton grows, it needs to prune the branches and remove the tops to inhibit the horizontal growth, otherwise the quantity and quality of cotton bolls will be greatly affected. Last year, Li Shan happened to be in a war, and he discovered this when he was picking.

Just took this opportunity to go out and hide for a while. The turmoil about Su Dingfang's restraint of the Beiya Imperial Army has not stopped. For this reason, Li Shan has received countless attentions. Visitor, back to Zhuangzi... Anyway, except for the morning court, it doesn't matter if you go to the court later on other days.

As for Li Shimin... Li Shan doesn't think that in the eyes of the other party, he can have any influence on the struggle for the heir apparent. He has completely handed over Su Dingfang, who has caused a series of troubles recently.

In fact, Ling Jing mentioned in private that in Li Shimin's plan, Li Shan is useless in the battle for the heir apparent, and it is almost the same now...Of course, in Li Shan's view, maybe he will become a key figure.

However, the time is not yet ripe. Li Yuan's attitude is also very obvious now that he is fighting for the throne, but it is not the last moment, at least Li Shimin himself still has the hope of becoming the master of the East Palace... The palace mutiny is the last way out.

Li Shan also thought about it. After Princess Pingyang became pregnant, with Li Shimin's prestige and power in the army, and Su Dingfang restraining the Beiya Imperial Army, Zhonglang General Chang He, who guarded the Xuanwu Gate, even stuffed Ma Zhou... The change of Xuanwu Gate is actually not that difficult.

Maybe one day when I woke up, Li Shimin was already crying on Li Yuan's chest.

"Brother Dingfang." Li Shan greeted, "Auntie, please come with me later."

At dusk yesterday, Su Dingfang greeted his relatives. Today, Li Shan planned to have a gathering with several families... Mainly because he wanted to see Su Dingfang's daughter-in-law. Mrs. Zhu privately mentioned that the eldest son of the Su family is really lucky.

Su Dingfang hesitated for a while before nodding, and then said: "Have you arranged the travel staff?"

"Junhao stay here." Li Shan glanced at Wang Junhao and Zhang Zhongjian who were silent, "Zhang Sanlang leads the personal guards, Zhao Da and Zhu Ba are the assistants."

But Zhang Zhongjian was a little surprised. He knew that the composition of this bodyguard was mainly composed of members of the Zhu clan, supplemented by young and strong people from Shandong, Shuozhou, and Daizhou. The bodyguards of this era are almost half the life of the general, as the commander... Zhang Zhongjian didn't expect Li Shan to trust him so much.

But Su Dingfang knew in his heart that Li Shan did not completely trust Zhang Zhongjian, but valued the other party's ability.

Su Dingfang is in charge of the palace ban, King Qin may send someone there, Wang Junhao is absolutely fine, and Zhang Zhongjian...not saying he doesn't trust him, but this kind of thing requires absolute trust.

"There will be no obstacles this time. Even if something happens, I won't go to battle." Li Shan yawned and said with a smile: "It is enough to bring thirty or forty personal guards."

"Definitely not!"

An old and hurried voice sounded, Su Dingfang turned around and saw Ling Jing with a serious face.

Don't you have any points in mind?
Ling Jing glared at Li Shan, I asked you not to cause trouble these few months, but in the end, something like Su Dingfang's restraint of the Beiya imperial army happened!
Zhu Wei behind Ling Jing nodded and said: "The spring farming is busy, but we also need to pick a hundred personal guards. The horses, bows, lances, and armor are all ready."

Li Shan got up, forced a smile and said hello, "It's just farming..."

Wang Junhao on the side agreed, and said: "After all, after Jingzhao, a hundred personal guards may not be enough. I will count the number of people later, and take as much as I can."

Li Shan's face turned dark, "Tongzhou is located in the northeast of Jingzhao, close to Hedong Road, with the natural danger of the Yellow River..."

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun!" Wang Junhao gritted his teeth and interrupted, "Please be careful with your words!"

Wang Junhao was a little terrified, and the other few times were fine. He clearly remembered that when he arrived in Dai County the year before last, Li Shan kept saying that Li Gaoqian, Duke of Jiangxia County, would not be as cowardly as a mouse, but soon he abandoned the army and fled.

The corner of Su Dingfang's mouth twitched, who was deeply hurt by it, "Huiren, you still need to be careful..."

"Nowadays the Turkic civil strife, there will never be another big war. Even if they come to attack, it will be difficult to break through the Yanmen Pass. Even if they break through the Yanmen Pass, there will still be the Daizhou Army and the Bingzhou Army!" Li Shan sternly reprimanded: "It's nonsense, nonsense!"

Wang Junhao took two steps back, and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that the trip to the same continent will inevitably lead to war."

"You..." Li Shan flicked his sleeves, and said angrily, "Even if Li Yaoshi and Li Daozong are defeated, there is a natural danger in the Yellow River, can the Turks fly over?"

Wang Junhao didn't bother to argue, and glanced at Zhu Wei, "Seventh Uncle, nephew, go and count the number of people first."

Zhu Wei, Ling Jing and even Su Dingfang all nodded silently. In the past few years, countless facts have proved that wherever Li Shan went, there was basically no peace. Trapped by Turks in Guji Town.

Especially Li Shan just now, regardless of everyone's obstruction, vowed that the Turks could not fly over the Yellow River... Wang Junhao said that the same continent would see war, and everyone felt a little bit sad.

Su Dingfang began to wonder, there are two ferries in Tongzhou, Fenglingdu and Longmen, where would the Turks cross the Yellow River?

It was only Zhang Zhongjian who was bewildered, what's wrong?
"Most people in the Zhu clan want spring plowing, and this time they have to choose from young adults in Shuozhou and Daizhou." Wang Junhao waved his hand, "Sanlang, just talk and listen to me on the way."

Li Shan was depressed, and he didn't feel better until the dinner party at night. Su Dingfang's wife, Li Shi, is dignified, but extremely beautiful, with a graceful figure and a beauty mole on the tip of her nose... Li Shan suddenly remembered the old lady from South Korea in her previous life. Beautiful, really has some imagination.

In addition to the Li family and the Su family, Ling Jing and Zhu Wei were also present. Today is considered relatives, after all, Su Dingfang's family has long since disappeared.

Su Dingfang introduced them one by one, and Mrs. Li met them one by one, her movements were free, with an indescribable sense of rhythm... Li Shan thought to herself, she really deserves to be a daughter of an aristocratic family, and she must have practiced since she was a child.

Li Shan also met Cui Shiniang in the middle school of aristocratic girls, but with Cui Xin's favorite girl crazy, in fact, Shinyiang is relatively not good at this aspect, and she prefers calligraphy, painting and poetry on weekdays.

However, after all, Mrs. Li's parents died early, and although she was taken care of by her uncle and aunt, she was somewhat separated after all, dignified and reticent, with few smiles on her face.
