Chapter 60 Li Jiancheng, You Are Really God's Favorite

After Li Jiancheng left, Wei Zheng came out from behind the screen.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Zheng offered to leave.

Li Xiuning said: "I'm not in a hurry to go, it's freezing cold, drink some mutton soup, warm up before leaving!"

Following Li Xiuning's order, the maidservants of Chenjiabao walked into the lobby carrying food boxes, and the maidservants put the food on the table.

Wei Zheng smiled wryly and said, "The wine and meat of Zhumen..."

Before Wei Zheng could finish speaking, Li Xiuning gave Wei Zheng a blank look and said, "Don't worry, there is no one penny of people's fat and people's ointment here. Since the fifth year of Wude until now, Chen Lang and I have not received a penny of salary. The expenses all come from your so-called rich family's contribution!"

Wei Zheng was stunned and said, "How is this possible?"

"Why is this impossible?" Li Xiuning pointed in the direction of Chang'an and said, "The Chen family has two major sources of income, one is the Tang Tongli Bank, the other is four-wheeled carriages, and others such as farm tools and general workshops, including Boren Hospital, Datong Hospital, etc. Tang Institute of Technology, all lose money!"

Ordinarily, the core technology of a four-wheeled carriage is nothing more than a four-wheel steering device and a shock absorber.Now, in order to facilitate the land transportation of Datang, Chen Ying has opened up the technical barriers of four-wheeled carriages.

It can be said that there are at least [-] workshops in Datang that can produce four-wheeled carriages, if not a thousand.However, most of these four-wheeled carriages are used for carrying goods.The luxury four-wheeled carriage is still worth tens of millions, and it still needs to be ordered in line.

At first, Li Xiuning would be very strange.After all, there are quite a few Dukes of the Tang Dynasty. They ordered a four-wheeled carriage, and they cannot order it for at least three to five years.

However, Li Xiuning didn't understand the morals of the world.

Regardless of the fact that the main function of the four-wheeled carriage is to facilitate travel, luxury carriages worth tens of thousands or thousands of guan have also become a status symbol. It was carved out of the same mold, but the elites and nobles in Chang'an and even the whole world recognize the carriage produced by Chen Ji.

Chen Ying pays more attention to the brand effect than anyone else. The four-wheeled carriage produced by Chen Ji, even a rivet on it, is engraved with Chen Ji's inscription, including the teapot in the carriage, the red clay stove, and especially the flush toilet. They all bear the inscription "Chen Ji".

Since the four-wheeled carriage was put on the market, Chen Ying's four-wheeled carriage workshop has upgraded the four-wheeled carriage five times, from cowhide sofa seats to lambskin, even tiger skin, crocodile skin, and then made A refreshing version was released, the wood was soaked in mint. Of course, the most outrageous thing is that last year, the Chen family used gold and silver to make a golden carriage. Anonymous giants bought it.

In fact, Chen Ying's mansion spent a lot of money last year, tens of thousands of guan.However, the profit of the carriage alone is as many as 25.

As for the larger income, it belongs to Datang Tongli Bank.Tongli Bank is different from other banks. It not only has good credit, but also has interest. Although the interest of 56% per year is not high, it can't hold up the money of other elites.More than [-]% of the deposits were contributed by the aristocratic families, and most of the bank's [-] surplus was also contributed by these aristocratic families.

Wei Zheng thought about it for a while, and what Li Xiuning said was true.

In this way, he ate with great peace of mind.

At this time, Li Xiuning noticed that Wei Zheng's cuff had a big tear, and the torn silk cloth strip was draped in the vegetable soup, but Wei Zheng didn't notice it.

Li Xiuning asked curiously: "Xuan Cheng, why have you refused to bring your family to Chang'an so far?

Wei Zheng was startled, then lowered his head and continued to eat.

Li Xiuning continued to stare at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng finally found out that the damaged part of his sleeve was in the vegetable soup, his face blushed, he put down his chopsticks, smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a long story..."

Wei Zheng hesitated to speak.

Li Xiuning said: "Tell me! Is there something shady?

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I can't see the light..."

Wei Zheng noticed that Li Xiuning was looking at him.

Coughing reluctantly, he emboldened himself and said, "Yang Guang conquered Liaodong for the third time, and my eldest son, Shuyu, was lost among the rebellious army...

Li Xiuning sighed, and said with a concerned expression: "Later, did you find it?"

Wei Zheng shook his head silently.

Li Xiuning said: "Xuan Cheng feels ashamed to face his parents, wife and children at home?"

Wei Zheng nodded.

Li Xiuning comforted Wei Zheng and sighed: "I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world. After more than ten years of war, wives and children were separated, and families were destroyed, you are not the only one. The Fang family in Donghai, the Du family in Luoyang, and the clansmen who died in troubled times One hundred. The dead are gone, Xuan Cheng doesn't have to blame himself."

Wei Zheng remained silent.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

Li Xiuning broke the silence again and said, "Xuancheng, why don't you bring your family, wife and children to Chang'an now?"

Wei Zheng sighed and said: "The world is in turmoil, and the master has been changed several times. The so-called prosperous times live in one's court, and troubled times hide in the wild. The world is uncertain, family members, it is better to live in seclusion in the hometown.

Li Xiuning was a little surprised and said: "Nowadays, the world is unified by the Kyushu, so why is the world still undecided?"

Wei Zhengdao: "When my Great Tang Iron Cavalry conquers the Turks and the world is in Chang'an, I will naturally take them here and enjoy the peace and prosperity together."

Li Xiuning immediately looked at Wei Zheng in awe.

Li Xiuning got up and said: "You also heard what your Majesty said, since I will go to Anxi as a consolation ambassador to Anxi, Chen Lang should also lead Anxi's [-] soldiers to the north, and the Eastern Turks will not be a concern!"

At this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly looked out of the window, and under the light of the lights, snowflakes began to fall outside the window.

Wei Zheng murmured, "It's snowing..."

Li Xiuning said: "Which winter does not snow!"

"This is different!" Wei Zheng sighed and said, "This heavy snowfall can beat a hundred thousand soldiers!"

……

In the Bashang Tang camp, the cold wind howled and the snow was blowing.

At the gate of the barracks, a cart full of luggage fell into a mud pit, and one wheel was broken. A dozen soldiers, under the command of the leader, were busy bringing in new wheels for installation.

A group of Tang troops came from behind. Seeing that the road to the camp was blocked, the leader of the small school rushed forward.

The small horse riding school roared, "Why are you blocking the camp gate?"

The little school of the supply team glanced at the riding school, and said angrily: "Didn't you see it? The wheel is broken. The cart is stuck in the mud."

The riding school said disapprovingly: "Why don't you pull the cart aside? Blocking the entrance of the camp hinders our entry and exit, and delays our work. Can you bear it?"

The supply school retorted: "You just want to order Mao?"

The riding school said proudly: "We Jianghuai Qingqi are not soldiers of the Twelve Guards. If we can't do it, my commander will really kill someone."

The supply school roared: "Twelve guards? Look clearly, we are the Hedong army, under the command of the governor of Hedong, and we are the main force to fight the Turks. Jianghuai Qingqi is just a partial division. What pretensions are we using?"

The little horse riding school scolded angrily: "Partial teacher? Let me tell you, my family's general will definitely be in command of this conquest of the Turks. At that time, don't hold back your Hedong army."

The supply school's eyes widened with anger, and a dozen soldiers who were repairing the car rushed up.

The supply school yelled: "When our Hedong army and the Turks were fighting to death, you Jianghuai Qingqi were still playing in the mud. The one who conquered the Turks and went to the altar to worship the commander must be the governor of our family in Hedong."

More than a dozen Jianghuai Qingqi soldiers dismounted one after another when they saw that their small school was at a disadvantage, and the two teams pushed and provoked each other.

A side general immediately stopped drinking: "Why block the gate and make a lot of noise?"

The soldiers turned their heads, and were shocked to find that Kan Leng and Li Jing were standing side by side on horseback.

The delivery school gave the horse riding school a wink.

The riding school shouted: "Brothers, help the brothers of the Hedong Army to carry the cart in."

All the soldiers hurried forward, chanted and dragged the cart out of the mud pit and into the camp.

……

Li Jing and Kan Leng walked into the tent of the Chinese army.

Kan Leng stopped suddenly, bowed to Li Jing, and said, "Marshal Li, this time the Turks were conquered, the commander-in-law had repeatedly told Kan Leng to obey Marshal Li's orders!"

Li Jing laughed dumbly and said: "This heavy snowfall came in time, we have to change the battle plan, King Wu will accompany the Northern Expedition this time, and act as the commander-in-chief, when the time comes, you will return to King Wu's command!"

Kan Leng scratched his head and said, "What the commander said is true?"

Li Jing smiled and said: "This is His Majesty's holy will!"

……

In the eastern Turkic tooth tent in Mobei,

Xieli was gnawing on the fleshy bones with great interest.

There was a terrible howl outside.

Jieli immediately dropped the bone with a gloomy expression.

A slave stumbled and cried into the tent, "Khan! Khan! The gods are angry! It's snowing!"

Jieli threw down the leg bone disapprovingly, wiped the oil on his hands with his leather robe, and said, "What does it matter if it's snowing?"

The slave cried, "Khan, you should go out and have a look!"

Jieli set up the tent and got out, the biting cold made him shiver unconsciously.

Not far from the big tent, a war horse has been frozen into an ice sculpture, and the war horse is still in the shape of striding forward.

The knights on horseback were covered in heavy snow just like the war horses.

Jieli Khan moved forward vigorously, the snow under his feet had reached his knees.

His eyes are far away.

Unfortunately, this sudden cold snap was beyond his imagination.

A large number of Turkic war horses and livestock were frozen to death, the vast grassland was covered with heavy snow, and even the desert was covered with heavy snow (the desert can also snow, Lao Cheng has seen it with his own eyes, Gurbantunggut, the third largest desert in China In the desert, the snow accumulation will exceed [-] cm in winter)
At this time, countless Turkic special agents and Shekhan came to Jieli Khan's tooth tent.

Everyone flocked in front of Jieli and said in one go: "Khan, this is the punishment of the gods on us Turkic people. We killed too many compatriots."

Ashinasheer stared at Turkic Teqin with a murderous look and shouted, "Old crow, shut your mouth."

Jie Li kept his head sullen and didn't move.

"Khan, we must go south. The cattle and horses cannot withstand the wind and snow here."

"Khan, let's go to Dingxiang, it's much warmer there."

"Go to Dingxiang, everyone spread out to find pastures, otherwise we will starve to death here."

Ashinasheer roared: "Go to Dingxiang? Isn't that going to the Tang army? Now, how many men are left who can hold swords? What if the Tang army comes?"

A spy said: "That's better than freezing to death!"

Jieli suddenly raised his head and said, "Go to Dingxiang."

Ashinasheer shouted: "Khan!"

Jieli waved his hand to signal Ashinasheer to shut up.

Jieli said: "We must go to Dingxiang, otherwise we won't be able to survive this winter. We are afraid of the cold, and the people of Tang are more afraid of the cold than us. Ashinasheer, gather all the men who can fight. Let's all go Dingxiang!"

As the whimpering horns sounded, all the Turks began to gather.

Then, braved the blizzard and headed slowly towards the south.

A large group of Turkic soldiers led horses, old and young women and children, and drove the only remaining cattle and sheep through the bitter wind and snow.

From time to time, some Turkic people fell down on the snow, unable to get up again.

Jieli Khan looked at this scene, looked at the south, and said expressionlessly: "Li Jiancheng, you are really the darling of heaven!"
