Datang Fenghua Road

She was very concerned.

At this moment, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the palace, and then someone whispered: "Your Majesty, there is a red ling quickly riding from the north, waiting at the gate of the palace."

Li Shimin stood up with a bang, and almost frightened Xiao Sizi because of his violent movements.He handed his daughter to the queen, strode out of the bedroom, and ordered: "Quickly pass him in, and I will wait for him at the Ganlu Palace."

The person who reported the report agreed and ran away all the way.

Li Shimin was about to go to the Ganlu Palace, when the eldest grandson stood at the door holding Xiao Sizi and shouted, eagerly: "Your Majesty, if there is news about Yue'er, please come over and inform the concubine early."

"I understand in my heart, Guanyin maid and wait for a while, I will return in a flash!"

Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, he plunged into the wind and snow.

The emperor was actually very worried about Han Yue's news.

Chapter 145 The mysterious organization back then

The Hongling urgent envoy did indeed bring news from Han Yue that the migrating army had reached [-] li outside the customs, and the campsite happened to be on the border with the Turks.Due to the cold weather, we can only lead the people to remove snow for the time being, and we will have to wait a few days for the establishment of a mutual market.

Han Yue came here to ask the emperor for help. The food he brought was consumed a lot all the way, and there is only less than [-]% left. He hoped that the imperial court would send a batch to the emergency. The money can be calculated according to the market price plus [-]%.

"This brat really deserves to be beaten up. He talked to me about business before he did business with the Turkic people!" Li Shimin laughed and cursed. Hearing the news that Han Yue was safe and sound, a big stone fell from his heart.

The Hongling envoy who was kneeling and waiting hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't blame, the Marquis of Jingyang was also forced into a corner, and the hundreds of thousands of people were all supported by him alone, and the weather outside the pass is currently raging with snow, so it is impossible to sow crops." The food he brought can last for two months, if the imperial court does not send a batch to the emergency, 10 people will starve after two months."

hiss--

Li Shimin gasped. He was the emperor who conquered the world. He knew how important it was for the people to be hungry. He hurriedly asked, "How is the mood of the migrating army now, are there any signs of riots?"

"There is no sign!" Hong Ling hurriedly expressed admiration, and continued: "Your Majesty, you may not know that the Marquis of Jingyang is very prestigious, and the people simply worship him as a god." When he said this, his eyes flickered, After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Especially after the Marquis of Jingyang created a few drops of the elixir, his reputation is almost overwhelmed. No matter what he says or orders, the people will flock to him. Such a promise I am afraid that even Your Majesty may not be able to achieve such power, I dare to say frankly."

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed heartily, he was not angry because Hong Ling's urgent words were too explicit, but said with a happy face: "This kid has finally made some progress."

He waved his hand and said lightly: "Go down to receive the reward, take a good night's rest by the way, and leave immediately tomorrow. I want you to be in the north after fifteen days, and tell that kid that the court will immediately allocate food and grass to him. In the past, as for money, there was no need to raise the price, then after he settled down, he would take the benefit of the marching meat to top it."

"Follow your orders!" Hong Ling hurriedly commanded the order, and then went out with joy.Since His Majesty asked him to hurry back, the reward will be generous later, so it is worthwhile to gallop against the wind and snow all the way.

Li Shimin clapped his hands at the shadow of the Ganlu Temple until Hong Ling quickly disappeared, only to hear footsteps and remember that a person quietly appeared in the shadow.

"What is His Majesty's order for me?"

Li Shimin's eyes were bright, and he said lightly: "How about the things you asked you to investigate?"

The question was nonsensical, but the man answered instantly, and said in a low voice: "The minister and other 500 people turned into pawns and traffickers and tracked the Central Plains for several years, and gradually found many clues. My dynasty and the establishment of the country gradually stabilized. Back then, the breathing space of that organization was getting smaller and smaller, and one day I will find them out."

"What I want is not one day, but as soon as possible!" Li Shimin snorted coldly, a murderous intent flashed on his face, and said: "Forcing me to have a child I can't recognize, I reluctantly exiled him to the north to suffer the wind and frost. , this hatred can only be washed away with the blood of those people."

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. That organization is good at assassination, and besides, it has gathered a few masters in the world. Right now, the whereabouts of Master Ziyang are erratic. You can't scare the snake for revenge.

Li Shimin nodded slowly and suddenly said, "How has your martial arts progressed recently, do you have the confidence to fight that big devil?"

The people in the shadows were silent.

The emperor suddenly sighed and said with a dull expression: "I understand, you are only in charge of the search, and everything will be discussed after the real person Ziyang comes into the world."

The man gave a salute in the dark and quietly retreated.

Li Shimin took a long breath and suppressed the anger in his eyes.He stretched out his hand and shoved the letter from the red lingering messenger into his arms, and walked out of the Ganlu Hall all the way to the Lizheng Hall.

The queen was still waiting to hear the news from Han Yue, so he had to hurry up and tell him.

The wind and snow between the heavens and the earth got bigger and bigger, completely shrouding Li Shimin's figure in it.As an emperor of a country, he was constrained everywhere, and even his eldest son could not recognize each other. It seemed that even the sky couldn't see such tragic events, so he had to drop the wind and snow to cover up his melancholy.

The wind danced all night, and the snow covered Chang'an...

……

Chang'an is still only a heavy snow, and it is already a blizzard outside the customs.

The weather was so bad that people couldn't work even if they wanted to, so they could only hide in tents and make a fire.

Han Yue rode a white-haired old donkey back in the snow. He now patrols the camp twice a day, for fear that someone will freeze to death and starve to death.

"Master, hurry up and drink a bowl of Hu spicy soup to get rid of the cold!"

Xiaodoudou had been waiting in the tent for a long time. As soon as he saw Han Yue coming in, he immediately stepped forward, first carefully helping him beat the snow on his body, and then he brought a bowl of steaming hot Hu spicy soup.

Not only Xiaodoudou was in the tent, but all of Han Yue's team were there.For example, Uncle Tian, ​​Aunt Tian, ​​who followed him in the early days, Tian Ergou, a young boy, and Tian Zhuzi, a young man who collected dung.

These people are all the people of Tianjiazhuang. Although they were from ordinary backgrounds, they gradually became able to stand on their own after following Han Yue for a long time.

Those who joined in the later stage were all fierce, and naturally Luo Jinger was the number one expert of the younger generation.In addition to this, there is Li Fenghua, the second dark man, Liu Heishi, the foolish younger brother of Liu Heida from Hebei, and Yuchi Jingde, a young warrior who just joined.

"How are the people?" Luo Jing'er asked, seeing Han Yue drinking the Hu spicy soup in one gulp, the girl picked up the bowl for Xiaodoudou.

"It's okay!" Han Yue stomped his feet and breathed, and chuckled: "Except for a few rammers who refused to obey orders and insisted on shoveling snow, and their ears, hands and feet were frostbitten, everyone else could safely hide in the tent and wait for the snow. stop."

"I'm afraid the snow won't stop for a while!" Luo Jing'er frowned slightly and said worriedly: "I have stayed in the Turkic grasslands, and I know how long the snow in the north is, and it will be difficult for the weather to clear within three days."

Han Yue snorted and said nonchalantly: "If you can't do it in three days, then wait for four days. If you can't in four days, then wait for five days. I still don't believe it. This thief can consume more energy than us..."

"You can't say that!" Luo Jing'er gave him a blank look and whispered: "After all, we have come here with a mission, and a mutual market will be built here sooner, the Central Plains will harvest cattle and sheep sooner, and the people will also Gradually live a better life.”

Han Yue snorted, his eyes slowly swept the crowd, and he said with a chuckle: "I called you here to talk about this. Everyone knows that this mutual market location is built around the land I won, and it was originally a village. , but it was swept away by the Turks, so the first thing we have to do is to rebuild the houses, it is not enough to let the people live in tents.”

Yuchi Jingde frowned and said, "This place has no mountains, no rocks, not even a forest. Where can we find materials for building a house? We can't transport all the materials from the Central Plains, it will cost too much money. big."

"Hehe!" Han Yue laughed lightly, and said happily, "How can it be transported here from the Central Plains? Do you really think that the Marquis is a local tyrant? To tell you the truth, the method I want to use is to burn bricks..."

Burn bricks?

Everyone was slightly startled.

Chapter 146 People don't want money, they want to contribute points

Burning bricks was not an easy job in ancient times, because the firepower was not up to the level and the air-cooling design of the kiln was unreasonable, so the bricks fired in ancient times were all blue bricks.

This kind of blue brick is more durable than the red brick of later generations. It can still maintain its original appearance after thousands of years of wind and frost, which is a crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients.It is a pity that firing is time-consuming and laborious, and the cost is a bit high. When building a house, the ancients would rather dig stones than burn bricks.

The so-called Qin bricks and Han tiles, fired bricks have appeared in the Qin Dynasty, but they are difficult to promote due to the complexity of the process. At least in the Tang Dynasty, they could not be used on a large scale.

Now Han Yue proposed to burn bricks, and everyone in the tent was a little surprised.

Yuchi Baolin was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Brick firing is feasible, but it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are too few craftsmen who understand this technology. As far as the general knows, I control all the kiln industries in the Tang Dynasty." In the hands of the Li family of Zhaojun, most of the craftsmen who know how to cook are also living with his family, the relationship between you and the Li family of Zhaojun is somewhat... a little..."

He waited for a long time, and was embarrassed to continue talking.

"We don't need to beg him!" Han Yue waved his hand suddenly and smiled, "It's just brick burning. The Marquis knows this craft better than anyone else. Besides, what I want to burn is not a troublesome thing like blue brick, we want to burn it. The red bricks are the most suitable for building houses because of their simple craftsmanship and low cost.”
