ps: Thank you Qianyuan Henry Zhen for the reward, thank you for the reward of Compound Acetic Acid, Aladdin Book, Weekly Walk, Plantrees, Sitting Alone and Watching the Rain of Flowers. So what, with so many update tickets, how many updates are needed?
Both Li Cunxu and Guo Chongtao felt deeply that Zhang Chengye recommended many things with the company of "Hebei Tong" Jing Jin. Jing Jin and Li Simo were obviously familiar with each other, and they kept the distance between them while talking and laughing.
close.
Li Suimo led Hedong and his party into the city along the official road. There was a huge military camp in the distance, surrounded by fences. From time to time, shouts of killing could be heard from the military camp. Li Cunxu was very sensitive to military affairs. He squinted his eyes and looked far away, but
He couldn't see it clearly, so he couldn't help but ask: "Li Zhizong, is that the military camp of King Yan's Yamen Army? Today is the Autumn Movement? I heard the soldiers' shouts of killing were very loud, but I didn't know if I could go and take a look.
?”
Just as he was speaking, he saw Guo Chongtao winking at him. Li Cunxu suddenly realized that the matter involved military aircraft. How could he make such an unreasonable request? It was really ridiculous and outrageous, and his face turned red.
But Li Suomo smiled and didn't care at all: "General Yazi, don't be anxious about this. It's getting late today. If I have time another day, I will accompany General Yazi."
Li Cunxu was stunned: "Li Zhengzheng said that someone can go to watch the exercises?"
Li Simo said: "That is not a military camp, but a training camp for newly recruited sergeants. My father has said before that General Yazi of Hedong is famous all over the world. It is an honor for Lu Longjun to invite General Yazi to give some advice in person.
If General Yazi wants to go, he can go tomorrow."
Both Li Cunxu and Guo Chongtao felt incredible and didn't know what to say for a while.
When we were still more than half a mile away from the south gate of Youzhou, the houses on both sides of the official road gradually connected into streets, with traffic flowing like a dragon and people coming and going. If it weren't for the tall Youzhou City Gate directly overhead, Hedong
Everyone thought they had already entered the city.
"How can the South Gate of Youzhou be so prosperous?" Guo Chongtao couldn't help but asked Jing Jin in a low voice.
Jing Jin has been to Youzhou many times and walked on the bustling official road, but he still seemed to be in high spirits. He kept looking left and right along the way. When Guo Chongtao asked, he turned around and explained to Guo Chongtao excitedly, as if he was from Youzhou and was visiting
Introducing his hometown: "Guo Dianye, not only the south gate is like this, but every gate is like this. It will soon be connected into one area. Is it still lively? I don't know when Jiedu Mansion will build the outer city, but it should be soon. General Yazi
, Guo Dianye, this is nothing. I will take you to the East Market later, where it is really lively. There are restaurants, shops, brothels, and brothels, all of which are available, especially Xianlufang, where more than thirty brothels are gathered.
, all kinds of beauties are competing for their beauty, Han women, Khitan women, Xi women, Shiwei women, Bohai women, Silla women, Japanese women, it makes people’s eyes bulge. There are also some women from the far west, that
The eyes are like sapphires...Oh, by the way, three of them are industries that Li is engaged in..."
Li Suimo led the way. After hearing this, he turned around and whipped up his whip in an attempt to whip Jing Jin in: "I've been talking for a long time and got to the point of talking about something. Jing Guan'er, you don't have anything serious to say..."
Jing Jin held his head and pretended to be aggrieved: "In fact, I have wronged someone. Isn't it because I want General Yazi and Guo Dianye to understand the people's sentiments?"
Li Suimo laughed and said to Li Cunxu and Guo Chongtao: "Speaking of which, there are indeed many things to see in Youzhou. There are still a few days until the day when the father accepts the concubine, so we can see more. In this way, I will be in Yazhou tonight.
We have arranged a banquet, and we will prepare a small amount of wine to entertain you two. Well, Youzhou is different from other places, there is no curfew at night, so we can have fun as we like. I invited a few friends, and everyone was lively."
Li Cunxu was young and had not yet mastered his character. He was greatly moved after hearing Jing Jin's words and immediately nodded in agreement. Guo Chongtao felt a little inappropriate, but Li Cunxu had already agreed, so he couldn't say anything else.
The prosperity inside Youzhou City is even greater than outside. I won’t go into detail here. The Hedong group followed Li Suimo in a daze, and they didn’t know when they arrived at Guanyi. Li Suimo said again: "The Guanyi in the city is small, Yazi
The general and Guo Dianye will be on their own terms, and after next year, the conditions will be much better."
Li Suimo explained to the two of them again, saying that construction had begun in the north of the city, and palaces and official offices were being built. After the construction was completed, Lulong Jiedu Mansion would be moved there as a whole. Many of the built rooms would have reception rooms.
The special hotel for distinguished guests is called Diaoyutai.
"Diaoyutai?" Li Cunxu was very curious.
"This name was given by my father, and the craftsmen drew the pattern according to this name. I have seen it. The ponds are connected, the pavilions are standing, and it is beautiful! When General Yazi and Guo Dianye come back, you can fish in it.
, happy and free!" Li Suimo yearned for it and praised it.
Not to mention Li Chengzhong's bad taste, that night, Li Simo held a banquet at the elegant residence he opened in Xianlufang to cleanse the Hedong party. The people Li Simo invited to accompany him were two young children who were about the same age as Li Cunxu.
One is named Zhou Mingjing, also known as Zhiyuan, and the other is named Guo Rujie, also known as Dalue.
Both of them had no official positions, but they had casual ranks, and both were named "taobao", which was similar to Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu and Guo Chongtao didn't pay much attention to them at first. After Jing Jin whispered an explanation, they became interested in Zhou Mingjing and Guo Rujie. Zhou Mingjing is Zhou Zhiyu's nephew, and Guo Rujie is Guo Bingcheng's eldest son. Zhou Zhi
Yu is now the governor of Yingzhou, and Guo Bingcheng is the observer of Youzhou and also the governor of Youzhou. Let alone the official position, just because of the fact that "King Yan regards him as an elder in the family", people cannot help but ignore him.
Li Suomo held a banquet in his brothel to entertain distinguished guests, so he naturally spared no effort. It was inevitable that the pavilion would be furnished with the most luxurious furnishings, and the drinks and dishes would be the best. There were more than a dozen beauties around, making people indulge in the beauty.
Compared with Zhou Mingjing and Guo Rujie, the two Youzhou officials, Li Cunxu, the Hedong official, seems to be a lot more rustic. Although his poetry is no worse than that of Zhou and Guo, he can directly achieve his original form in Nong Yue.
.In the final analysis, Feng Yuejian's knowledge is too poor, and he is not as sophisticated as Zhou and Guo. When they were teased by the female actors, they immediately became ugly. Even Guo Chongtao, an elder who was doubled in age, showed
Equally unbearable.
It wasn't until the dancers and musicians came on stage that Li Cunxu found an opportunity to show off his talents. Even though he was a military commander, he had been fond of music and music since he was a child, and his attainments were actually quite good. Li Cunxu filled in half of the lyrics in front of the music board, which made Li Cunxu stand out.
Zhou Mingjing and Guo Rujie felt ashamed of themselves.
After the lively banquet atmosphere came up, Zhou Mingjing held a jade Ruyi and kept flirting with the female actress. While having fun, she made a suggestion to Li Cunxu and Guo Chongtao - to start a business together.
"...Open a workshop in Hedong to refine coke. I heard that graphite is all over the mountains in Hedong and the quality is very good. The cost should not be high. But I want a franchise. Except for X's workshop, no other merchants in Hedong are allowed to refining and coke.
Coke business - including merchants in Hebei. As long as this is done, the workshop will be regarded as a 30% share of General Yazi and Guo Dianye, and the annual profit will be no less than 3,000 guan. If the workshop's surplus is insufficient, a certain person will make up 3,000 guan from the Youzhou counter.
Qian Guan, how about it?" Zhou Mingjing talked about this business worth tens of thousands of Guan quietly, showing his true nature as a playboy.
Li Cunxu actually didn't know much about the concept of "Three Thousand Guan". He looked at Guo Chongtao hesitantly. Guo Chongtao's face changed color and he stared nervously at Zhou Mingjing. He even forgot to pick up the drink from the beauty in his arms. He
Looking at Li Suimo and Guo Rujie on the side, they didn't know how to speak for a while.
Zhou Mingjing smiled and said: "The workshop has Li Lang's stock, you don't need to consider this. As for Dale, he doesn't do this business, he sells military armor."
Guo Chongtao gritted his teeth and said, "You keep what you say? But if I don't want these three thousand strings, can I replace them with cement?"
Zhou Mingjing waved her hand coolly and said: "Cement is a separate matter. As long as I agree to this, I can sell the cement to General Yazi and Guo Dianye at a low price, always seven cars. I don't care what price they sell it in Hedong."
"
Guo Chongtao immediately nodded: "Deal!" and then asked doubtfully: "Didn't it say that cement cannot be leaked?"
Zhou Mingjing smiled and said: "The secret recipe must not be leaked, but the finished product does not matter. Without the recipe, you can't imitate it even if I give you cement."
Guo Chongtao felt deeply regretful. He suddenly remembered something and turned to Guo Rujie and said, "I just heard from Zhou Taibao that your household sells military armor?"
Guo Rujie gently shook his fan and said, "That's true, but there is a quota for the number of military armors accepted by Hedong. If the number exceeds the quota, approval from the Jiedu government is required."
Guo Chongtao began to think silently about how to obtain Lao Shizi's "Jiedu Mansion Approval".
…
Both were "Taibao" and "Second Official". It didn't take long for the young Li Cunxu to be dragged into the "thief's bed", where he spent the whole night with his muscles and bones, his beautiful face, and was extremely happy.
At three o'clock in the morning on the second day, Li Cunxu woke up slowly. He didn't know where the beauty beside his pillow was, which made him feel disappointed. With Li Cunxu's identity, wealth is indispensable in the world, but Hedong was slightly different.
Li Keyong loved to adopt sons. As long as they were young heroes from Hedong, he would take them in as adopted sons and train them more. There were many adopted sons with the title of "Taibao". There are so many unknown ones. Although Li Cunxu was Li Keyong's biological son
, but there was also a lot of pressure, especially Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan, who were the most famous and had the most outstanding achievements. Under the atmosphere of Hedong that emphasized military merit, the competition among the adopted sons was extremely fierce, and everyone took it as an honor to fight in battle.
He did not pursue comfort and pleasure. Li Cunxu joined the army when he was young and lived in the military camp for more than ten years. Although he could not be said to be "protective", he had never seen such a gentle scene.
After a brief wash and some meals, Li Suimo had come back to pick him up. Li Cunxu heard that it was King Yan who had summoned him, so he quickly went back to the house to tidy up. He went to Chang'an to meet the emperor when he was eleven years old, so naturally he could not talk about it.
He was frightened and frightened, but King Yan's achievements in conquering the Bohai Sea, Silla, and pacifying the grasslands made him look up at the mountains. Now that he could see King Yan face to face, he was still a little nervous.
Guo Chongtao also happened to come out of an unknown boudoir. The two of them got together, went out and mounted their horses, and followed Li Suimo to the Prince Yan's Mansion.
Li Chengzhong opened the middle gate of the palace to welcome Li Cunxu and Guo Chongtao in person, but his treatment was a little unusual. Although Li Cunxu was already famous among military generals in the world, he was far from being treated with such courtesy. Guo Chongtao was
It was even more unbearable. It was just a small ceremony to pay homage to you. Opening the side door and introducing someone to see you was the only way to sort things out.
Even Li Chengzhong himself didn't understand the situation. In his mind, what he was about to see was Li Cunxu, the brave general and emperor who had written a significant chapter in Chinese history. How could he make sense without opening the central gate? (To be continued...)
