The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 207 This Old Man’s Face Is Worth Seven Thousand Guans (3000-word chapter)
Tang Jian really drank too much at this time, and he was in a good mood, so Li Muyun didn't refuse to call him uncle.

But Li Muyun took the opportunity to pull the chair towards him, and asked mysteriously: "Uncle Tang, can you stay a few more days this time? My nephew has something for you to see!"

"Oh? What is it?" Tang Jian asked with interest, but he didn't say if he could stay for a few more days.

He has done many such things as missions. Right now, Datang is strong and Xue Yantuo is weak, and he is still responsible, so he doesn't have to think about time at all, and he can go whenever he wants.

"Cement!" Li Muyun didn't give a shit this time, and said bluntly.

"Cement? What's that?" Tang Jian frowned and thought about it, but he didn't have any impression in his mind, so he asked in confusion.

"A thing that can quickly build a city, and not only that, cement can also be used to build houses and roads. In short, it has many uses." Li Muyun counted the same with his fingers, but he didn't notice that Tang Jian's face had changed. As soon as Li Muyun finished speaking, he immediately asked: "You just said that 'cement' can quickly build a city? How fast?"

"Hmm..." Li Muyun thought for a while: "I don't know exactly how fast, but I think it should be at least five to ten times faster!"

"What? Five to ten times?! You, you..." Tang Jian was taken aback by the speed Li Muyun said, tried his best to shake his head, collected himself and asked again: "Are you sure you didn't say anything wrong? Is it five to ten times?" ten times?"

"Ten times, my nephew is not sure, but five times should be fine. If Uncle Tang is not in a hurry to go to Xue Yantuo, he can stay with my nephew for a while longer, and then he can see for himself."

For things like cement, Li Muyun still has some confidence.

You must know that most of the city walls of the Tang Dynasty were made of boiled clay as the core, with one layer of poor solidity, and a few layers of wall bricks were added outside after the repair reached a certain height.

And some small border towns use boiled glutinous rice mixed with some special materials, and then mix it with soil to build a city wall. This kind of city wall has extremely high elasticity, but it also has its own disadvantages, that is, it is easy to be destroyed by those people. The thick crossbow gun is inserted, and the crossbow gun will become the best climbing tool after being inserted.

But if there is cement, it is different. Just find some wooden boards, nail them into a box, and then mix cement, sand and gravel in a certain proportion and pour them in. After a few days of drying, remove the wooden boards. , Immediately it is a city wall that has been built.

Of course, concrete is not necessarily so simple, it needs steel bars and other things inside, but Li Muyun believes that as long as the supply of iron ore is sufficient here, although it may not be possible to produce steel bars, iron bars can definitely be produced , When the time comes to replace steel bars with iron bars, there should be no problem if there is no special requirement for strength.

Seeing Li Muyun's serious appearance, Tang Jian was also a little uncertain whether what he said was true, and after struggling for a while, he slowly said: "Muyun, what do you mean?"

"My meaning is very simple. I just want to do some business with Uncle Tang. You also know that my nephew is humble. If you do not do well in this cement business, you will be 'swallowed' by others, so I want to find You are a big tree to rely on." Li Muyun did not hide his purpose, and stated his purpose very directly.

Tang Jian didn't expect that the purpose of Li Muyun's talk for a long time was this, he was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "You want me to stay for a few more days, but you want me to see the effect of that cement?"

"Exactly. I wonder if Uncle Tang is willing?"

"Okay! Then I'll stay for a few more days to see what kind of fetish your cement, which is ten times faster than normal city building, is." After finding out Li Muyun's purpose, Tang Jian agreed to his request without any hesitation. Decided to stay in the cottage for a few more days.

……

Then Tang Jian and Li Muyun talked about some things in different places. One of these two people is a diplomat of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is a killer who traveled all over the world in later generations. Neither of them is less knowledgeable than the other. This chat lasted for most of the time That night, there was quite a sense of sympathy.

And when the two of them were chatting about the same, the sky outside had already turned gray. Only then did Tang Jian calm down from the excitement just now, and yawned a lot.

Seeing that Old Tang was already sleepy, Li Muyun smiled apologetically: "Uncle Tang came from a long way, but my nephew only cares about talking. It really shouldn't be, so I ordered someone to arrange a place for uncle."

"I'm old and lack of energy. I think Tang Mou didn't sleep for three or five days, and he never yawned." Tang Jian was bragging, but he had already stood up, facing the people in Juyi hall. Walking outside, although I don't intend to continue chatting with Li Muyun.

And Li Muyun naturally wouldn't continue to drag him to chat at this time, but just looked at his back, then raised his hand to call for a minion, and told him to go to the back to prepare the guest room.

However, with such a delay, Li Muyun missed the best opportunity to know Li Yuan's identity.

……

Outside the Juyi Hall, Tang Jian, who wanted to come out to get some air, opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the little old man in front of him, half of the smell of alcohol was scared away in an instant: "Too, too, too..."

"My identity is kept secret here, understand?" Looking at Tang Jian who was a little at a loss, Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Uh... Ming, I understand!" Tang Jian didn't know what Li Yuan was going to do, and he didn't know why he saw this great god here, so he just nodded mechanically.

Li Yuan hummed, expressing his satisfaction with Tang Jian's answer, and asked after a pause, "Did the second boy send you here?"

"Yes, yes, His Majesty knew about Xue Yantuo's invasion, so he specially sent officials to investigate." Tang Jian said honestly, not daring to conceal his purpose.

"What else?" Li Yuan continued to ask.

"Also, there is another thing to buy from Xiaoyaohou, buy some war horses!" Tang Jian was really stunned at this time, and even told all about himself without even thinking about it.

"how much is it?"

"One, thirteen thousand."

"Ten thousand and three?" Li Yuan glanced at Tang Jian: "It's a little less."

Some are missing?Tang Jian blinked and didn't know what to say for a moment, after all, Li Muyun had already agreed to the amount of money, so what if it was less.

And just when Tang Jian didn't know what to say, Li Muyun came out of the Juyi hall, saw Li Yuan standing outside, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Father, why did you get up so early, don't say more How about some sleep?"

father?Looking at Li Muyun's back, Tang Jian only felt his scalp tingling.

What's the matter?When will the Supreme Emperor have such a son?Why don't you know?Is it an illegitimate child?If so, it seems….

Just as he was thinking, he heard old Li Yuan say: "Tang Jian, let me introduce you, this is the adopted son of the old man."

Yoshiko?Ghosts believe it!Tang Jian blinked, licked his lips, and grinned in embarrassment: "Xiaoyaohou... kept this matter so tight that I didn't even know it."

Li Muyun doesn't know Li Yuan's real identity, but in his opinion, Li Yuan can know Yu Zhining, so it seems reasonable to know Tang Jian, but he doesn't know why Tang Jian's face is so pale, is it the old man he picked up? Is the son really the prince?And he's still the real prince?

While thinking about it, Li Muyun said: "Hey, what's the matter, my adoptive father is my adoptive father, I am me, and we each go our separate ways!"

The devil wants to separate from you, I'm about to be tricked to death by you!
It's no wonder that this kid has detained more than [-] war horses, and His Majesty, who is used to being shrewd, would think that he didn't know. It turned out that these war horses were given to his own father by the emperor, and this Li Muyun should be the spokesperson of the Supreme Emperor.

Damn it, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have countered the price even if I was beaten to death. At worst, I would have given him as much as he said, so why bother to make it so embarrassing.

Thinking of what old Li Yuan said just now, "Some are missing", Tang Jian wailed in his heart again, and said to Li Muyun with a wry smile: "Well, you are free and easy, I seem to have miscalculated just now, and the war horse is just as you said. The price is [-] guan!"

"What? Why?" Li Muyun couldn't believe his ears. He had seen buyers haggling over prices, but he had never seen buyers take the initiative to raise prices.

"It's nothing, it's settled like this, [-] yuan is the same price!" Tang Jian was almost crying. On the one hand, the Supreme Emperor who told himself to keep his identity secret, and on the other hand, Li Muyun, who wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line. This made it difficult for him to explain. Why exactly.

Fortunately, the little guy who went to the back to arrange the guest room came back, Tang Jian just took the opportunity to step down, and ran to the back of the mountain after dragging the guy, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Muyun stared blankly at Tang Jian's disappearance, and after a while he murmured, "Father, what did you tell him just now? What's wrong with this guy..."

"Speak? Hmph..." The little old man Li Yuan snorted with some disdain, pointed at his old face with his finger, and said proudly: "What do you need to say? This face is worth seven thousand guan!"

"Really? Don't lie to me!"

"What's the good of lying to you?"

"Benefits..." Li Muyun looked at old Li Yuan, then at the direction Tang Jian 'escaped' just now, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Hey, my dear father, if you think this is going to work, I'll find someone Draw you down, and paste a picture of you in every prefecture, will we get rich by then?"

"Send a lot of money!" Li Yuan was almost not pissed off by Li Muyun's brain hole, and he gave him a hard look and said, "Remember, you have seven thousand pennies from the old man in your money, don't forget to give it to me when the time comes." Come."

After saying that, the little old man ignored Li Muyun who was stunned, and left with his hands behind his back, leaving someone to slap his head regretfully!
