The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 377 This is a profiteer!
The craftsmen of Datang moved very quickly, and within half a month, hundreds of sets of three-piece cavalry suits were produced.

In fact, it should be said that in this era of imperial power, when something is valued by the emperor, its promotion speed will naturally be very fast.

"Have you tested everything?" Li Er, who is an excellent cavalry general himself, inspected these cavalry equipment by himself.

"The Xuanjia Army tried it, and everyone agrees."

As Li Er's real trump card, if there is any good thing, it is natural to give it to the Xuanjia Army first.

In fact, this three-piece cavalry suit is not a high-tech one. Ordinary blacksmiths, cobblers and even carpenters can make it, and the original model of the stirrup and saddle existed as early as the Han Dynasty.As for horseshoes, there were similar horseshoes in the former Sui Dynasty.

The difference is that what Li Yunze took out is a truly optimized ultimate model, which can be regarded as a perfect product.

"Gather all the craftsmen who make these, and remember not to leak them." Li Er is very clear that the craftsmanship of these things is not high. If the Turks get it, the impact will be too great. "Except for the Xuanjia Army , the other ministries are not equipped for the time being.”

Before the real decisive battle with the Turks, Li Er did not intend to take out these things.

When you are ready to go to war, you must give a deep impression to Xieli, a monster that is said to be able to eat three cows in one meal.

Li Er, who is conceited and arrogant, has never forgotten the humiliation brought to him by such alliances under the city as the Weishui Alliance.

Must take revenge!

After arranging this matter, Li Er sat behind the desk and looked through the official documents.

The autumn harvest is over, and all the counties in Guanzhong have sent official documents, expressing their satisfaction with the new iron farm tools, especially the iron sickle, which is a large piece of iron sickle during the autumn harvest, and it is durable and durable.

Then the official documents from all over the country wrote the same thing, asking the court to allocate more farm tools, all kinds of farm tools, and all of them should be made of iron.

"Did the irons fall from the sky?"

Li Er, who closed the official document, was very helpless, "I also want more iron, but it will cost gold. The court's finances are difficult, so where can I get so much gold?"

Li Yunze didn't accept silk. He really didn't lack any of this kind of thing that was used as hard currency in the Tang Dynasty.

Although he accepts copper coins, he does not count by the number, but by weight after melting.

Because there are too many impurities in copper coins.

As for accepting silver, he firmly refused to accept Datang's official exchange rate, that is, the exchange rate between gold and silver was [-]:[-].

What Li Yunze can accept is one to one hundred.

Even in the black market in Chang'an City, no one would dare to offer such a price.

Because of this, even though he knew that Li Yunze had a lot of good things there, he only hated that he didn't have enough financial resources to do anything about it.

Resignedly, he put aside the official document asking for more iron farm tools, and Li Er picked up the next one.

This was sent by Fang Xuanling, and the content was to hire Li Yunze to help clean up the river in Chang'an City.

Since Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, built Chang'an City based on Daxing City, several decades have passed, and the dynasties have changed.

Yang Jian was fine when he was alive, but when Yang Guang came to power, he didn't deal with the Guanlong Military Group and wanted to suppress the powerful families in Shandong, so he simply ran outside all the year round and didn't stay in Chang'an City at all.

After that, it will be a long war.

When Li Er came to power, the river course, which had not been maintained for so many years, was already silted up and seriously affected its use, and it was very easy to breed major epidemics.

It's not that the ancients didn't understand that dirty places are easy to breed diseases, they just don't see bacteria.

Li Er also understands this, so he naturally understands that this is a good thing.

Normally, the common people should be sent out to do this.

But on the one hand, the lack of suitable tools makes this difficult. Another more important aspect is that this year, there have been many disasters in Guanzhong, and the corvee has already been used in various places to deal with the disaster.

Forcibly recruiting again, either directly give money or things, or damage the reputation of the court and the emperor to start work forcibly.

No matter what, Li Er was unwilling to do it.

From this point of view, Fang Xuanling's suggestion to let Li Yunze do this is a very good suggestion.

Moreover, Li Er was keenly aware of the hidden meaning behind this proposal.

Although Li Yunze's background is not known yet, his ghostly ability made Li Er and Fang Xuanling very sure that this person has great supernatural powers.

Facing an existence with such great supernatural powers, of course, it is not to play slicing desperately, but to try to win him over to his side, at least not to let him go to the Turkic people.

There are many ways to win people over. For someone with great supernatural powers like Li Yunze, who lacks everything, it needs a long and gradual process.

The first thing to do is to recruit them into the city.

Li Er immediately reviewed and agreed on the document. As for the price and so on, that was Fang Xuanling's work, and he, Li Er, would not even have to take care of such trivial matters.

Li Er, who was planning to continue working, heard that someone outside asked to see him.

The person who came was Baiqisi who was in charge of protecting Lijiazhuang. Of course, it could be called surveillance.

"Your Majesty, a group of powerful men broke into the Li Family Manor last night."

Hearing this, Li Er's expression changed slightly, "Who is it?"

What he was most worried about was Li Yunze's collusion with other forces. Apart from the Turkic people, there were also those who opposed him.

It is also that he does not want the good things from Li Yunze to fall into the hands of others.

The Baiqisi man had a strange look on his face, "He stole the cow."

"Ok?"

When Li Er came to Lijiazhuang, he saw a group of people tied up and escorted to the threshing ground.

There are quite a few yamen servants from Lantian County nearby, talking to Li Yunze about these things.

"What happened?"

The yamen servants didn't know Li Er, but seeing his pomp and aura, it was natural for him to give up his position and dare not be troublesome.

After all, it is at the feet of the emperor, who knows which Xungui's family it is, if you accidentally offend it, you can't even keep the guy who eats.

"A group of thieves." Li Yunze stretched out his hand to signal the cowshed in the distance, "They came to steal cattle."

Li Er narrowed his eyes, his face was very ugly.

Cattle are a strategic commodity in Datang, and any act of stealing cattle will damage Datang's national strength, so naturally they will not have any good feelings for cattle thieves.

"Take them back." Li Er yelled at the servants, "Punish them severely with the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"

In the Tang law, the punishment for stealing cattle is extremely severe. Not only should it be punished as theft, but compensation should be paid according to the price.

This is just stealing cattle. It would be even worse if the cattle were killed. It is directly listed as heinous crimes such as conspiracy to rebel, disobedience to parents, casting fake money, and robbery with a knife.

The cattle thieves were taken away, Li Yunze and Li Er left Zhuangzi and went to the cowshed.

"Are there too many cows?"

Looking at the cowshed which was significantly larger than before, Li Er was astonished, "There are so many cows, even in Tuyuhun, there must be a big pasture to feed them. Here you are"

He looked down at the lush alfalfa field under his feet, "Is it viable?"

"Of course, I not only have the best pasture, but also fodder." Li Yunze walked towards the cowshed. "The food is sufficient and nutritious to keep up with. At the most one and a half to two years, a two-year-old steer can be produced to provide meat."

Li Er's eyelids twitched when he said this, "A strong bull does not go to plow the field, but to eat meat. This is really a waste."

"If you think it's a waste, you can just buy it." Li Yunze smiled and waved his hands. "Don't worry, it's definitely cheaper than Tuyuhun's cattle. After buying it, it's up to me to cultivate the land or eat meat."

"what?"

Entering the cowshed, Li Er, enduring the unpleasant smell, looked at the gray cows suspiciously, "What kind of cow is this?"

"Cows."

Li Yunze said seriously, "Daozhang Sun used the cows to get the cowpox."

Hearing this, Li Er suddenly nodded, "So you raise these strange cows to get rid of cowpox."

Li Yunze looked at Li Er as if he was looking at a sand sculpture, "Are you crazy? Cows are for milking, of course."

"milk?"

"Milk is a high-nutrient substance. Drinking milk can strengthen the body. It can also be used to make cheese. This is a high-energy food that can be stored for a long time, especially suitable for troops traveling long distances as military rations."

Hearing that it can make military rations, Li Er immediately felt relieved, "Okay, very good. How much can it produce?"

"Fifty catties a day during the high-yield period. Ten catties a day is always available during the low-yield period." Li Yunze explained, "When making cheese, ten catties of milk can produce one catty of cheese. When marching and fighting, one catty of cheese is enough for a man." A sergeant's day's consumption."

With an extremely serious expression, Li Er turned around and stared at Li Yunze, "I will give you all the nearby land, how much cheese can I provide for next autumn harvest?"

He has already made up his mind to send troops to crusade against the Turks after the autumn harvest next year, and must destroy this monster that threatens Datang all the time.

He will not refuse anything that can improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Li Yunze smiled, "Is Your Majesty going to sign a supply and marketing agreement?"

".What agreement?"

"The supply and marketing agreement, that is, you buy all the goods I deliver."

"Can!"

Day by day, the weather is gradually getting colder.

Winter is coming, and snowflakes are not unexpected in the sky.

Snowing.

Snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, some of them melted into water droplets and soaked the ground shortly after falling on the ground, and some fell on the icy grass leaves or branches that had been frozen by the cold wind for a long time, gradually accumulating a layer of ice and snow. The whiteness comes.

The longer the snow falls, the more white it becomes.The black road becomes clearer in this white world.

This road is the cinder road that Li Yunze built from Lijiazhuang to Chang'an City after the autumn harvest.

There are also coal mines near Chang'an City. Li Yunze purchased the coal produced by the coal mines on a large scale, and even forced the coal mines to increase production crazily. Almost all the prisoners in Chang'an City were sent to the coal mines to dig coal.

Those cattle thieves who stole cattle in Lijiazhuang before were also sent there.

At the beginning, Li Er didn't know what Li Yunze wanted so much coal for, but as a rare commodity that could be exported to Li Yunze, rather than Lanting Collection or pretty beauties, he still strongly supported it.

Fang Xuanling offered a price that was definitely considered high in his opinion, but Li Yunze didn't even pay back the price, and agreed directly.

He felt it was a loss at the time.

When Li Yunze turned the coal into honeycomb and sold it with the stove in Chang'an City, and then used the remaining cinders as road-making materials, Fang Xuanling's heart ached even more.

Li Yunze made much more money selling briquettes than Fang Xuanling made selling coal.

Sure enough, this profiteer!
