Chapter 191: The rich and the enemy country is not such a waste

Liu Laosan in the hut was shocked and woke up from the drunkenness.

He subconsciously wanted to climb over the wall from the back door.

But thinking that his wife and children were still here, his face turned miserable.

"This...this..."

Li Shimin was furious and stood up, looking at Zhang Qian: "Call Cheng Yaojin, the bastard."

Zhang Qian hurried out. After a while, Cheng Yaojin was wearing armor, and the bright armor on his body emitted a dazzling white light under the faint candlelight in the room.

He walked directly to Li Shimin and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, I... I am late to welcome you, and I will be punished for death."

His Majesty……

Liu Laosan, who was standing beside him, felt cold all over.

There seems to be only one person in this world who is called His Majesty...

This... doesn't seem like a joke.

Because Cheng Yaojin's armor was all over his body, he knew that he was a general at first glance, and his outfit would cost at least a few dozen stagnants. He would not be able to earn anything if he didn't eat or drink for a few years.

Li Shimin's good mood all night seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and he held his face and said, "What are you doing here? Did you come?"

Cheng Yaojin thought to himself, do you think I want to come? If I don’t come here at this time, I will still happily look at the price of the card on the exchange.

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has been missing for several days. The Empress is anxious and ordered her to come and welcome the emperor."

When Li Shimin heard the words "The Queen" and the Queen, his face looked a little better.

He sighed and said, "I understand, you're waiting outside, I'll come later."

Cheng Yaojin responded and hurried away.

As soon as Cheng Yaojin left, Liu Laosan's face was already terrifyingly pale: "Your Majesty..."

Li Shimin smiled at him: "What did you say just now, what do you want to say to me?"

"No...I dare." Liu Laosan was trembling and didn't even dare to look directly at Li Shimin. His voice trembled slightly: "Caomin...Caomin didn't say anything wrong just now, Caomin died, but he didn't expect... You are the emperor. If Caomin said something wrong just now, Your Majesty must not take it to your heart..."

The woman of Liu Laosan was also scared and hurriedly said, "Give up your life."

Li Shimin sighed again and said helplessly: "I am not the emperor. You can tell me the truth, but I am the emperor, so no one can be free. This is what the so-called lonely man is. You don't have to be afraid. You didn't say anything wrong, but I... I was quite inspired by your words. Although you are common people, you are a person who is grateful for your kindness."

Liu Laosan was so scared that he was sweating profusely. After hearing Li Shimin's words, he nodded in shock: "Yes, yes..."

Li Shimin immediately said, "I am so stingy here. I only brought a few steamed cakes. But... I feel relieved when I see your life getting better. Live a good life. You are your work. I have to go back and do what I should do. Today's wine and this chicken, I have eaten. Have you always wanted to taste the stuffed donkey? Ordinary people still know how to send you gifts. Only when you come will you go. In a few days, I will send you a few jars of stuffed donkeys."

When Liu Laosan heard this, he quickly nodded with the chicken pecking at the rice field.

But when Li Shimin saw that he seemed to be silenced, he stared at him and said, "What, what do you want to say?"

Liu Laosan hurriedly said, "No...I didn't think about anything."

Li Shimin said, "Is that true? If you think about it, this is the crime of deceiving the king."

Liu Laosan was startled again and immediately said, "I thought about it, Caomin is thinking, the emperor is so nice, I have wine to drink every day."

"Hahaha..." Li Shimin laughed and then walked away.

Chen Zhengtai and others also stood up, but Chen Zhengtai was a few steps slower than the others, patted Liu Laosan on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I am the Duke of County Chen you mentioned, come... There is an IOU here, hold it."

After stuffing an IOU, I quickly chased after him.

When Li Shimin left the hut, he saw someone preparing a car outside the hut.

He knew that staying here would be disturbing the people, so he quickly got into the car and brought his ministers back to the palace.

Sitting in the car, Li Shimin was in a good mood, but the inferior rice wine now had some potential. He couldn't help but think, Chen Zhengtai is a business talent, could it be...I want to lead the world to a path that was unprecedented in front of him?

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, these dynasties have experienced countless prosperity, but Li Shimin knows... In this prosperous era, there are still people like Liu Laosan everywhere!

And Chen Zhengtai... seems to have opened a new road. Is this road easy? How many risks are there? In the past, there were contradictions, and once you embark on such a road, there should be new contradictions.

With alcohol, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

…………

After Li Shimin and others left, Liu Laosan vomited hard from his mouth as if he had returned to his soul.

So when he remembered what he was holding in his hand, he put the IOU under the oil lamp, looked down and saw that the IOU had a very ten-talented word.

For a moment, his hands were trembling with excitement. Ten shovels... This is a huge amount. I have never seen such a big money in my life. Duke Chen County... Duke Wandae is really a charity.

No, he even drank with the emperor.

"Three pounds, three pounds..."

Liu Laosan suddenly became angry, and his whole body seemed to be a little brighter than the lights in the room.

Sanjin, who was standing beside him, arrived at the wine table just now, picked up the remaining leftovers on the table and feasted on it.

"Hey, you know how to eat, do you know or not..."

"If you don't eat, you will be hungry." Sanjin chewed the chicken's neck in his mouth, looking satisfied, and said with confidence.

Liu Laosan shook his head. What he was thinking now was that if he told someone about what happened tonight, would anyone believe it?

…………

Erpigou gradually became lively. After all, more and more people came to the exchange. There were more merchants and nobles, so they always had to rest. Therefore,... they were inevitably forced to eat and live. Some people were willing to buy a piece of land here and build an inn.

This inn is different from the previous inns, because it invests a lot of money. After all, those who can stay here in the future will be the best customers of Datang.

Not only that... many merchants come here to buy land, some want to build tea shops, and some get carriages and horses.

The third uncle was so happy that he felt unprecedented energy that he increased the price of the land several times that day.

He was in this exchange, but he was instructing the Chen family, who was running errands for him, to not touch the stock market.

There is nothing wrong with the exchange being opened by our Chen family, but you can't end up as this thing makes money too quickly. Once you indulge in it, you will have to wipe out your will.

As for the exchange not far from the exchange, there is the military camp of the Cavalry Mansion, which is just right. On the one hand, it will not cause noise to the exchange. On the other hand, there are many dignitaries and merchants here. With the military camp, they can feel at ease.

After all... what is involved in this is a large-scale transaction, which will inevitably attract some sluts.

More than fifty new recruits now wear mail, and everyone chooses good horses. In addition, there are all other swords, guns, swords, halberds, and even bows and crossbows.

What Su Lie had to do was to train these soldiers every day, from morning to night, never resting.

Chen Zhengtai naturally brought Xue Rengui over often. Now that everyone has become brothers, he naturally does not have much politeness. As soon as he entered the camp, he saw fifty soldiers, all of them strong, and now they are riding on horseback and running in teams on the racecourse.

Su Lie stepped forward and said, "Brother, third brother, you are here, there is one thing..."

"You want money?" Chen Zhengtai interrupted him.

"It's more arduous to practice..." Su Lie explained carefully.

"Tomorrow, choose another 150 good horses, but run for me. Don't save me money. Saving money means looking down on me, Chen Zhengtai, my own brother, you are so slutty when you ask about money. Do you look down on me, a brother?"

Su Lie, who was once again looked at by Chen Zhengtai in contempt: "..."

"Anotherwise, this horse is so good, why is it so hard to get angry?" Chen Zhengtai looked suspicious.

"Of course." Before Su Lie spoke, Xue Rengui behind him said excitedly: "Brother, don't you know. This horse rides all day long and its hooves are not wear-resistant. After a long time, the hooves will naturally wear out. If this horse loses its hooves, it will be considered a waste and it will be difficult to run."

Horse hooves...wet.

Chen Zhengtai felt that this guy was teasing himself: "You don't put horseshoes on horseshoes?"

Su Lie and Xue Rengui both looked at Chen Zhengtai strangely.

Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder, it's really Fima, so it's really a slut. Oh, my poor horse."

Chen Zhengtai was heartbroken. Even his Mado was not so bad.

It seems that in this era, in the Central Plains, there is no habit of slapping horses. At least now it seems that Su Lie and Xue Rengui know nothing about horsesales.

The horseshoe is of great use. The horse's hooves are composed of two layers. The layer in contact with the ground is a layer of hard keratin about two to three centimeters thick, and the layer above is a living keratin.

When the horse's hooves come into contact with the ground, they are rubbed by the ground and corroded by the accumulated water, they will fall off quickly. Once they fall off, it means that the horse is hard to ride.

The purpose of nailing horseshoes is to delay the wear of horseshoes. The use of horseshoes not only protects the horseshoes, but also makes the horseshoes hold the ground more firmly, which is very beneficial for riding and driving.

During the Han Dynasty, in order to establish a cavalry to fight against the Huns, the Central Plains almost sold out during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. The wealth accumulated from the reign of Wen and Jing was squandered all of them all at once. Even so, war horses still became scarce.

The reason is that the loss of war horses is very fast. In order to maintain a cavalry of sufficient size, more new horses must be continuously supplemented. Cavalry must be trained frequently and fight, and the loss of war horses has reached an astonishing level.

Until now... this situation has not changed. Therefore, it is a very luxurious thing to form a cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, and this is the big reason.
