A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 238
There are still three days before the new year, and the Bureau of Economics and Economics has sealed the seal. This year, Wu Huaiyu, an accomplished boss, gave everyone a lot of New Year's benefits, including grain, oil, meat, vegetables, and even firewood, cloth, cotton, salt, tea, and soy sauce. Everyone is very happy.

On the second day of the holiday, Huaiyu specially accompanied Runniang to pick up her parents, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and went to the Yongkang Palace to give the New Year gift together.Siqi's family lived well in the Li family before, not to mention that Runniang even worshiped Zhang Chuchen as her righteous grandmother.

Those who have three festivals and two birthdays a year always come to the door, not only to give gifts, but also to get people.

After the Turks withdrew, Li Jing also dismissed his position as the general manager of Lingzhou Road, and returned to Anlu to serve as the governor of Anzhou. He had just returned to Beijing Chaoji a few years ago.

In the Yongkang mansion, Huaiyu and Li Jing sat together to drink, and what they drank was Wuhou Erguotou that he brought. The two of them had never been alone in private before. While drinking and chatting, he found that Li Jing was actually quite approachable.

In Wu Huaiyu's previous impression, Li Jing was a descendant of a famous family, late bloomer, dedicated to using troops, a military god on the battlefield, but he had a low EQ, always stood in the wrong team, and couldn't see the situation clearly.

Originally, with Li Jing's military merits, he must be a real duke, but he was not among the heroes of Yuanmou in the Wude dynasty. Li Yuan had so many dukes, and Li Jing was not one. It is said that the position was originally reserved for his younger brother Li Keshi.

Although he barely got a real seal, he is still a county prince. This is very rare in the list of 48 real seals. Many people who had no titles or even only baron viscounts before have been granted the title of Duke of the country. However, Li Jing is still a county prince of Yongkang, so he is not as good as him Brother Li Keshi has been granted the title of Duke Danyang.

"It's unbelievable that such strong wine is brewed with scorpion seeds. If you are in the bitter cold frontier, you can warm your whole body after taking two sips."

Li Jing was tall and elegant, wearing a long gown, he looked more like a gentleman from the Imperial College, he didn't look like a general, nor did he have the slightest belly.

Li's donkey meat in sauce is good, and the more you eat it, the more delicious it will be.

"The palm thunder made by Erlang is extraordinary. It's really powerful." Although Li Jing returned to Shannan to be the governor of Anzhou, he was still thinking about the Turks. At that time, he had already arrived in Jingzhou with his followers, and was about to give the Turkic wolf cub a hard time, but he couldn't figure it out when he received the order.

"It is still in the process of improvement, mainly affected by the supply of fire nitrate, and the output is limited."

"I heard that your gunpowder can be made into not only palm mines, but also all kinds of powerful firearms, such as rockets and mines?" Li Jing was very interested when he talked about military things.

"Well, there is a lot of room for development, but we still have to make good use of it."

This made Li Jing very satisfied. Any military equipment must be used well. Of course, the appearance of good equipment will inevitably bring about innovations in tactics. These are all complementary.

Just like during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, armor developed rapidly and became stronger and stronger, and there was even such a perverted existence of armored riding equipment, so horses with better armor-piercing effects were also used in large quantities, and they could even hit heavy armor. Devices have also become common equipment.

Li Jing is not only good at generals, but also very good at tactics, military formations, equipment, and orders. He is a military master.

When he was interested, he took Wu Huaiyu to study and discuss it in depth. As a result, it became dark after the chat. Li Jing was so excited that he wanted to stay with Huaiyu overnight, and even talked with him at night. In the end, he fell asleep with his feet up. dawn.

dawn.

Li Jing was still excited, his eyes were red.

He announced in front of his wife and children and grandchildren that he would accept Wu Huaiyu as his disciple.

"Erlang is very talented,"

Li Jing, who is nearly [-] years old, is no longer young. His two sons are incompetent. One only likes to hunt and play ball, and the other just wants to be a ranger. Shi Jianshu went, and Li Jing, angry, threatened to send someone to tie him back and break his legs.

Li Deyu, the eldest son of the Li family, actually laughed when he heard his father's words. He didn't think it was wrong for his father to teach outsiders the art of using soldiers throughout his life.

"Erlang has to study hard. I, Aye, use soldiers like a god. Back then, I was able to pacify half of the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing gave the boy an angry look. Although what he said was true, it was Hejian King Li Xiaogong who was in command back then, and Li Jing could only serve as a deputy. He was only in command when he went to Lingnan Consolation, and get the privilege of inheriting and worshiping.

Afterwards, the town of Yangzhou, the governor of Shannan, and the command of the troops to the north to resist the Turks are indeed a lot of credit, but can this kind of thing be said?
For this heartless eldest son, Zhang Chuchen could only helplessly shake his head, but fortunately Wu Huaiyu was also half of his own family, so he was not worried that he would spread rumors outside.

Li Jing asked Huaiyu to offer tea and kowtow to him, which was regarded as formal worship of Li Jing as his teacher, and no outsiders were invited to witness the ceremony, only the Li family members.

Mrs. Li San, her father, uncle, brothers, and Li Jing's younger brother Li Ke, who happened to be guests at Li Jing's house, also came.

Li Jing's brothers, except for the absence of his elder brother Li Duan, they all came together, even Li Jing's uncle Li Weijie brought his son Li Shuang here today.

He was originally here for a family reunion, but he happened to meet Li Jing accepting Wu Huaiyu as his student.

Not an ordinary student, Li Jing said that this is the art of war that he passed on to his disciples personally.

This made Li Jing's nephews very envious. Their own family members did not have such treatment.

Huaiyu respectfully handed over the tea, and Li Jing took it with a smile and drank it.

Then he was lifted up, and Wu Huaiyu was Li Jing's disciple from then on.

Although it is said that Li Jing's emotional intelligence is not high, he is neither liked by Li Yuan nor trusted by Li Shimin, but he is a god of war, and it has not yet reached Li Jing's brightest moment. Li Jing's brightest moment is when he went straight to the Turkic Khan Court and captured him alive Jieli, and then led the Tang army to expedition to Qinghai to attack Tuyuhun.

After that, he released Shuaiyin and entered the court as prime minister.

Wu Huaiyu has no hesitation to be appreciated by Li Jing as his direct disciple. Li Jing is a banner of the military aristocrats in Guanlong, so the benefits of being his direct disciple must outweigh the disadvantages.

"In a while, I will show you some of my military art experience. You will have a good look at it. You will go to Yanzhou to be the governor next year. Then you will train troops in the fields, and you will be able to apply what you have learned."

Li Jing now goes to Shannan, which is far from the border, to be the governor of Anzhou. In fact, he is quite helpless. He wants to be the governor of Bingzhou like Li Ji, or the governor of Lingzhou under Li Daozong, or the governor of Liangzhou under the samurai. They are all good, able to fight and guard the border.

It's a pity that the emperor insisted on letting him go to Anlu. Although it was the second hometown where the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan grew up as a teenager, there were no wars at all, not even the middle of Shu, Nanning, and Lingnan. After all, there are barbarians and raccoons in southern Xinjiang , Qiang barbarians can fight.

Li Sanniang's father, Li Xiuxing, smiled and asked his uncle Li Jing, "Huaiyu worshiped her aunt as a righteous grandmother before, so according to her seniority, she should call me an uncle, but now she worships her uncle as a teacher, so how can we be compatible?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "You are my nephew, and you also learn the art of war with me, so Huaiyu can call you senior brother, or elder brother."

At this time, Mrs. Li San was not happy.

"How can it work, before Wu Erlang had to call me Yijie, but now he calls me Aye as brother, so I am his niece?
No no no. "

Zhang Chuchen was also laughing.

Mrs. Li Ke's wife Changsun said, "Then why don't you talk about your own things and ask Wu Erlang to call his sister-in-law Yi-grandmother, brother-in-law a teacher, practice cultivation as a senior brother, and Sanniang as a sister."

"It's all messed up."

Everyone laughed, this was just a small episode, if you say that although Li Sanniang is Li Jing's grandniece, they were raised by their husband and wife when they were young, and they even learned the art of war from Li Jing. no problem.

The family atmosphere of the Li family is not bad. Although Li Jing is not the eldest brother, the elder brother died early. He is the head of the family and has inherited the family's Duke of Yongkang. Even if Li Keshi is now the Duke of Danyang, he is very polite to his elder brother. dear.

Li Duan's descendants respected the patriarch Li Jing even more.

Li Jing is not the kind of parent who speaks loudly. On the contrary, when the family is together, he always smiles, which makes people feel no pressure. Even Li Sanniang, Li Shuang, Li Yuanshen and other younger generations are quite open in front of him.

The Changsun family whispered to Zhang Chuchen, "At the beginning when Wu Erlang came into the mansion in a red official uniform, we mistakenly thought he was the little boy brought back by Sanniang. Unexpectedly, it has only been half a year, and he has already become Shouyang. Marquis, I'm about to take the post of governor, I really can't believe it."

"That's right, they are at the border, thanks to the use of his elixir."

At this time, the Changsun family put an afterthought, "It's not a bad thing to say that Sanniang and Wu Erlang were really a couple at the beginning. I heard that Wu Erlang is very capable at a young age. He is known as the owner of the Four Jue Pavilion. Appreciated by the sage, the future is boundless, and it may not be inferior to my brother."

At the beginning, it was Changsun who looked down on Wu Huaiyu the most, but now she is the one who says that Wu Huaiyu has a good future. Some women are always so superficial.

"It's better for that girl who plays chess, but now she's more comfortable."

Zhang Chuchen looked at Wu Huaiyu, then at Li Sanniang, and inadvertently noticed that Li Sanniang looked at Wu Huaiyu from time to time.

As someone who has been there, Zhang Chuchen can feel something unusual.

Did that girl really like Wu Erlang?
That won't work, although this Wu Erlang has a good future, he is already married.

Zhang Chuchen, who was originally in a good mood, couldn't help feeling sad again.

It seems that it's time to arrange a marriage for Sanniang, this girl is not young anymore, she can't let her go wild anymore.

The men of the four generations of the Li family drank the fire-like Wuhou wine Erguotou Muzi Shao.

Zhang Chuchen's eldest grandson, Li Sanniang, and a group of women were chatting about women's topics. It was nothing more than gossip in the capital, or some jewelry and headgear. thing.

The family banquet of the Li family in the Yongkang Mansion is not guarded against men and women, but the atmosphere is lively and enjoyable. Wu Huaiyu has become the protagonist of today's day, and Li Jing and his brothers, as well as his uncle, nephew, grandnephew, etc. are very quickly acquainted stand up.

Wu Huaiyu has a good capacity for alcohol and can talk nonsense. Whether it is Li Jing's uncle Li Weijie, his brother Li Keshi Li Zhengming, etc., or his son Deyu, nephew Li Shuang, nephew Li Yuanshen Li Yuanshen, etc., they all like Wu Huaiyu. .

Young people are talented, humorous, and have such achievements, it is worthy of their friendship.
