Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 80 Provocation
[-] soldiers from the Hedong Prefecture and thousands of elite cavalry have been staying in Wuling County for half a month.

The official went to Daxingtai Shangshu Zuocheng Han Liang repeatedly urged, and even the right servant She Qu Tutong came, but Qi Wang Li Yuanji remained silent.

Li Yuanji blatantly said that Gu didn't go hunting, so what else can you complain about? !
Tsk tsk, this is really emboldened.

Before going to Luoyang, Li Yuanji served as the supervisor of Bingzhou, claiming that he could not eat for three days, but he could not go without hunting for a day, and then Bingzhou fell... But Li Yuanji was fine after a month.

The reason why Qu Tutong and Han Liang are so urgent is that in the past ten days, a steady stream of bad news has come.

The life and death of Shuang Shiluo, the director of Dingzhou, is unknown.

Yingzhou fell, and Ma Kuangwu of Yingzhou was killed.

Liu Heita sent Gao Kaidao as the vanguard, conquered Boye County within three days, and Lizhou fell.

Liu Heita's younger brother, Liu Shishan, captured Mozhou and was beheaded from the supervisor down.

Cui Yuanxun, Liu Heitai's former subordinate, raised troops to respond and offered Shenzhou.

Dou Jiande's old generals Ma Junde and Liu Huijun rebelled and occupied Yanzhou and Guanzhou respectively... These two areas were later combined into Cangzhou.

The sharpness of the front of the soldiers is frightening, and half of the entire Hebei Road has already fallen into the hands of Liu Heita.

Li Shan sat bored in the study in the backyard of the county yamen, looking at the account book for the grain and grass that had been paid, and from time to time, dialed the abacus a few times and took notes to write down the numbers.

Qi Wang Li Yuanji used the excuse of lack of food and grass to avoid sending troops. In the past seven or eight days, Daxingtai, Eastern Shaanxi Province, has continuously allocated food and grass. Li Qianyou and Rong Jiusi are mainly responsible for this aspect, and Li Shan naturally has to contribute.

While working, Li Shan thought in his heart, Liu Heita is still very good, he won half of Hebei in more than ten days.

"Li Xianwei."

"Li Xianwei."

Li Shan frowned slightly, but he quickly calmed down. He just lowered his head as if he didn't hear the footsteps. He didn't raise his head until the footsteps stopped beside him, and looked at Li Dewu with a complicated expression calmly. orders?"

Hearing this name, Li Dewu's expression was also very calm, and his eyes fell on the abacus, "I heard that this is from Lingnan?"

Li Shan grinned and showed a bright smile, "It is rumored that this is the secret biography of the Li family's Danyang house in Longxi."

Li Dewu avoided the other party's gaze, and felt his cheeks were slightly hot. Just a month ago, he was still boasting in front of Mrs. Pei's abacus.

This is also the most difficult thing for Li Dewu to figure out. Where did you learn this?

"I heard that you are staying at Dongshan Temple?"

"Yes." Li Shan paused, "I heard a few days ago that the county lieutenant is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Pei. I don't know where he lives?"

Li Dewu's face darkened, he didn't believe that Li Shan didn't know that he was still living in Pei's house, he was mocking him as a son-in-law!

"By the way, I heard that Lord Lieutenant of the County gave birth to Lin'er not long ago, and Dongshan Temple was full of incense. There were many dignitaries praying for their children and lighting everlasting lanterns in the temple."

This time, the eyes of the two collided before avoiding each other.

The meaning of Li Dewu's words is obvious, you live in Dongshan Temple, presumably Mrs. Zhu is also there!

And Li Shan's reply was unceremonious and ruthless, if you threaten me with my mother, I will threaten you with your son.

Li Dewu smiled stiffly, "Let's go back to Beijing, if you have spare time, you should go to Dongshan Temple to pay homage to the Buddha."

"I don't dare to do it. The county captain is too polite. After returning to Beijing, it is natural that the boy will visit first." Li Shan smiled warmly and kindly.

The scribes next to him were all baffled and felt something, but they didn't find anything.

At the gate of the county government compound.

"So fast?" Yu Zhining looked at the signed official document in his hand, and asked in surprise, "It took only an hour for the check to be completed?"

Rong Jiusi smiled and said: "Every cart of grain and grass is put into the warehouse, and it is not quantitative. The score team counts and puts it into the warehouse, calculates the total amount, and checks one out of ten. Those who make no mistakes will be rewarded, and those who make mistakes will be punished by the whole team."

Yu Zhining repeated the game in his heart, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that brother Jiusi is good at arithmetic, and his reputation is well-deserved."

The quantity of grain and grass in the warehouse is different for each car. If you want to count and put in the warehouse on the spot, you need a person who is proficient in arithmetic and has a quick mind to be present.

Rong Jiusi blushed a little. Although he had already learned the abacus, he still struggled in fighting. Today, it was actually Li Shan who operated it, and the abacus flew into the air.

At this time, Li Shan happened to go out, saluted and said: "Scholar Yu, honorable master."

Rong Jiusi nodded slightly, "Is today's work over?"

"All kinds of account books have been counted. According to [-] Hedong soldiers and [-] cavalry, the food and grass can still be supplied for [-] days."

Yu Zhining narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. He worked as a doctor in Daxing Taiduzhi, Shaanxi Province. Although his position was not high, he had a lot of authority.

From last year to this year, from the king of Qin to the king of Qi, the supply of food and grass for the Tang army in Hebei Province was provided by Shaanxi Province. Yu Zhining was the actual operator, and he was naturally proficient in arithmetic.

It is not difficult to calculate the supply time of grain and grass, but it is a bit difficult to complete so many tasks in just one hour after the grain and grass have just been counted and put into storage.

"Brother Jiusi, is this your disciple?"

Rong Jiusi's face became even redder, and he forced a smile and said: "This is a military scribe, by the way, Brother Zhong Mi, do you have a military report today?"

Yu Zhining glanced at Li Shan again, and said: "Zhaozhou fell, and Zhou Fengxing, the supervisor, died in battle."

Rong Jiusi had a complicated look on his face. Zhou Fengxing, the director of Zhaozhou, was an old man from Taiyuan. Although he participated in the Luoyang War with the King of Qin, he did not enter the Palace of the King of Qin. He did not expect to die in Hebei at this time.

Yu Zhining whispered a few words to Rong Jiusi about the battle in Hebei, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Shan quietly walking out the door.

Rong Jiusi's attitude just now was a bit puzzling. The young man knew that he was not from a poor family just by looking at his words and deeds, but he avoided answering Rong Jiusi's name... Yu Zhining was even more puzzled. Li Shan left silently, showing that he was not Rong Jiusi's subordinate.

Yu Zhining went around the county government office and visited King Qi. Not surprisingly, he got a reply that food and grass were scarce and it was difficult to send troops. Afterwards, he asked someone to inquire and wrote down the name Li Shan.

At this time, Li Shan had already returned to the house, and it was no surprise to see Wei Zheng stroking his goatee in the yard.

"It is said that Li Shan of Dongshan Temple has a strategic strategy, is quite resourceful, and is brave and good at fighting. Unexpectedly, he is also good at arithmetic. Even the Zheng family is willing to bow down."

Li Shan scratched his head without saying a word, sat down and took a few sips from the glass of water handed by Zhu Ba.

Just yesterday, the sons of the Zheng family in Xingyang, recruited by Li Yuanji, inspected the granary, and Li Qianyou brought Li Shan and Rong Jiusi to accompany them.

The five surnames and the seven families each have their own strengths, some are good at military affairs, or they are good at classics and righteousness, but no matter which family, arithmetic is a basic subject. If the children of the family want to make achievements, there is no one who does not want to learn.

Rong Jiusi didn't know if he had any grievances with the son of the Zheng family. The latter picked on him several times, and finally Rong Jiusi pushed Li Shan out... The apprentice can't do it, the master can only do it.

In the end, there was no suspense. Li Shan easily answered the other party's question, but the Zheng family's children struggled for an hour and had no idea about the binary quadratic equation.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "The old man has used the abacus too, and I'm going to ask you for some pointers."

Li Shan sat down on his buttocks, and squinted at the guy, "Mr. Wei is not busy with business, why come here so often?"

"Oh, it must be that Mr. Wei is not busy right now."

After just two words, Wei Zheng's face changed slightly.

　The saved manuscripts have been scrapped, and I have to rewrite them. Today is the holiday, but I have to go home and try to keep updating, but the update time may be irregular. It is expected to be on the shelves on October [-]th.
