Chapter 491: Handover of Yushan (Third update, asking for diamonds)
Outside the imperial city, Wu Shaobin explained Li Yan's origins, which also made Luo Zhang understand this person better, and he felt relieved about handing over Yushan to him.
"By the way, how is Mei Niang? Is it nothing serious?" Seeing Wu Shaobin here, Luo Zhang couldn't help but think of Mei Niang.
"Meiniang is fine. Before you came out, the imperial doctor also came to the house to see her. He prescribed some anti-fetal medicine and let Mei Niang rest for a few days!" Wu Shaobin replied.
"That's good, that's good. If anything happens to Mei Niang, I can't spare Li You!" Luo Zhang gritted his teeth.
"By the way, I just saw Master Li Jing leaving with Li You. Where did they go? Did they go back to the fiefdom? Wouldn't that be too cheap for him? Do you want me to go to him halfway..." As he spoke,
, Wu Shaobin made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Luo Zhang rolled his eyes, patted Wu Shaobin on the shoulder and said: "Brother, please stop fighting and killing all day long. It's time to find a wife, get married and have children!"
"No, I can't stand those girls nagging, I think it's good to be alone." Wu Shaobin waved his hands repeatedly.
At this time, Li Yan followed, and Luo Zhang and the others could not say anything more, so they led Li Yan towards Yushan.
By the time we arrived at Yushan, the sun was already setting in the west!
Yushan is still like a big construction site, with workers everywhere carrying soil, digging stones, and leveling the land!
Farther away, there are many guards in armor patrolling. I think these are the guards arranged by His Majesty here!
The arrival of Luo Zhang naturally attracted the attention of the master craftsman at the Ministry of Industry, who hurriedly brought a group of people to see Luo Zhang.
"Is everything normal here?" Luo Zhang asked while sitting on his horse.
The master craftsman hurriedly said: "Master Hou, everything is as usual here, and the construction period has not been delayed. I guarantee that the construction will be completed within the deadline!"
"Well, you have worked hard. When the construction here is completed, I will ask your Majesty for your credit!" Luo Zhang encouraged.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" the master craftsman said with a smile on his face. Isn't that why he worked so hard to work here? Who wants to spend his whole life working on the construction site? It would be great to stay in the government office.
!
"Master Li, come and meet them too. These are officials from the Ministry of Industry who built Yushan. You will have to deal with them in the future!" Luo Zhang turned to Li Yanda.
Li Yan glanced at the master craftsman and others and nodded to express that he had seen them.
The coldness and arrogance are vividly displayed in Li Yan!
Luo Zhang was not surprised. He was the elder of the Li clan, the person closest to His Majesty, and he was also a master, with arrogance.
"You also come to meet Mr. Li. He will take over from me and be responsible for everything here. You can't neglect it, otherwise I will not forgive you if I find out!" Luo Zhang warned.
Everyone's faces were solemn, they didn't even dare to address him or even joke. How could someone who was spoken to so politely by Luo Zhang be easy to get along with? How dare they neglect him!
Without saying anything more to these people, Luo Zhang dismounted and took Li Yan towards the cave dug halfway up the mountain. It was also heavily guarded. When Luo Zhang arrived, the guards guarding the entrance of the cave hurriedly stepped forward.
Greetings beforehand.
"Call your commander, I have something to tell him!" Luo Zhang did not enter the cave, but ordered to the guard.
"Yes, sir!" The guard trotted away and called for someone.
"Master Li, this is a major place for manufacturing gunpowder. It has not been used yet. When Your Majesty gets the people from the palace, you will be responsible for this place!" Luo Zhang pointed to the entrance of the cave.
Li Yan looked around, then nodded and said: "I understand, when will you teach me the recipe? I can teach it to those people!"
Facing Li Yan's old-fashioned mechanical face, Luo Zhang was not surprised. He was probably sent by Li Shimin because he was old-fashioned and unreasonable.
"I can give this to you now. I have already written it. You only need to distribute it evenly according to the ratio above to make gunpowder. Of course, I will also make it for you to see. You will understand by then!" Luo!
Zhang took out a piece of paper he had already written on from his arms and handed it to Li Yandao with great care.
Li Yan also took the paper with a solemn expression. His Majesty has explained that this gunpowder is related to the entire Tang Dynasty and the lifeblood of their Li family. It must not be lost. Even if he dies, he must protect the secret of the gunpowder. If
Nothing can be done. I would rather bury the secret of gunpowder underground than let the enemy get even half a point, otherwise the entire Tang Dynasty will be in danger!
At this time, the commander in charge of guarding here came over to greet Luo Zhang.
This man's surname was Qian, and Luo Zhang didn't know him either, but he must have been Li Shimin's confidant, otherwise he wouldn't have been arranged here.
"Commander Qian, let me introduce you. This is Li Yan, Mr. Li. From now on, he will be in charge of this place. Everything will be subject to his orders. This is His Majesty's imperial edict. Do you know?" Luo Zhang looked at him.
Commander Qian ordered.
Commander Qian's face became solemn, he saluted Li Yan and said, "I have met Mr. Li in my humble position!"
"Well, you will take me around Yushan later and introduce to me the guard situation in Yushan!" Li Yan ordered.
"Yes, Lord Li!" Commander Qian ordered.
"I have delivered the goods here. I will come back tomorrow, bring some things and teach Mr. Li again. This place has nothing to do with me!" Luo Zhang said calmly.
Li Yan still admired Luo Zhang for being so knowledgeable. No matter who it was, how could he hand it over so easily if he had such a sharp weapon?
People rebelled.
At this time, he finally understood the reason why His Majesty valued Luo Zhang so much. There were not many ministers with such an innocent heart in the Tang Dynasty.
"Don't worry, Marquis Luo County. If I am here, even if I am not here, this place will die with me!" Li Yan assured Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang nodded and didn't stay here too long. He took Wu Shaobin back to Chang'an directly. He was still worried about Meiniang. Wu Shaobin said that Meiniang was fine, but how could he feel at ease if he didn't take a look!
As soon as he returned home, Luo Zhang was scolded by his grandmother, to the effect that he did not pay attention to the safety of Mei Niang and others, and this gave others the opportunity to take advantage of him.
You must know that Mei Niang is pregnant with the heir of their Luo family. What if something happens to this?
Luo Zhang fully accepted his grandma's scolding. If he didn't listen to Mei Niang and asked her to bring a maid with him, even if something happened, the maid would be able to report it as soon as possible, so that Mei Niang would not be captured by Li You. Only then did he know the news.
To be honest, who would have known who kidnapped Mei Niang if it weren't for the reminder given to him by the system. Thinking about it now, Luo Zhang also feels scared. This can only happen once, and it will never happen again in the future. He doesn't want to be frightened every day. !
When they arrived at Mei Niang's house, Mei Niang was lying on the bed and resting. Her face was a little pale, but her spirit was much better, not as painful as when she was in Prince Chu's Mansion.
Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, Mei Niang wanted to get up but was held down by Luo Zhang!
"Lie down well, what are you going to do when you get up?" Luo Zhang scolded.
"Husband, I..." Mei Niang wanted to say something, but Luo Zhang covered her mouth and stopped her from continuing.
"Stop talking, it's my fault, it's my fault for taking it lightly!" Luo Zhang blamed himself.
"No, I'm a little willful. If I had listened to you, brought my maid or not trusted people and eaten randomly, I wouldn't be like this!" Mei Niang blamed herself.
"Okay, stop talking, I'll change it later!" Luo Zhang comforted.
After comforting Mei Niang, Luo Zhang asked her to have a good rest and left the house.
Outside the house, Gao Yang was waiting for him at the door with his arms akimbo, looking menacing.
"My little ancestor, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?" Seeing Gao Yang's look, Luo Zhang couldn't laugh or cry.
"What about that beast? Where's Li You?" Gao Yang snorted angrily.
"He? I sent him to your father!" Luo Zhang replied.
"Then how did Father deal with that beast?" Gao Yang asked.
"Punishment? You'd never expect it!" Luo Zhang couldn't help laughing when he thought about the new life Li You was about to usher in.
"Say it quickly! Why do you have to deal with me?" Gao Yang said angrily.
"Say, I'm telling you, please don't move your fetus, my little ancestor!" Luo Zhang said with a wry smile.
Chapter completed!
