Li Shan's ability to analyze so much and make those choices is largely due to his transcendent status as a time traveler, while Ling Jing can frequently make accurate analysis and judgments from details, which is difficult to compare with Li Shan.
What's more, Li Shan also needs Ling Jing to be the link between him and Li Shimin.
In fact, Li Shan and Li Shimin had already decided on Ling Jing's entry into Tiance Mansion in their letters. Later, Li Shan would arrange for Ling Jing to go north with Li Daoxuan to regain the lost territory and pacify the place.
After sighing for a long time, Li Shan made up his mind. After attending the banquet tomorrow, he would close the door to thank the guests and concentrate on preparing for the exam... Although it seemed that he was going to be admitted to the Jinshi Examination, no matter how many classics and meanings he read, it was of no use.
That's all, it's good to just show off, so as not to cause any more trouble... Looking back, the old man must have an expression that I had guessed a long time ago.
After walking out, it was still noisy outside. Zhu Wei sent people to the town and bought or borrowed many quilts from several nearby villages, such as the Su family and the Ling family. Fortunately, they brought more or less quilts with them that day.
Lao Liu and Fan Shiyi basically only had weapons besides their clothes.
As they walked past, there was a constant stream of salutes and greetings. Li Shan smiled and cursed a few words, pointed at Fan Shiyi and said: "You silly monkey, I'll find you a powerful wife later!"
Fan Shiyi, who escaped a beating in the afternoon, but was eventually ordered to strike ten times with the cane by Su Dingfang, said with a playful smile: "The more powerful, the more powerful. At least there is someone who knows the cold and heat to help apply the medicine."
The surrounding area is full of personal guards, several of whom were handpicked by Su Dingfang, and they are all winking at each other... Zhu Ba's group of people are all old people in the village. They can only find wives outside, but we can choose them in the village.
of!
After today's big banquet, washing dishes and chopsticks is naturally the responsibility of women. In rural areas, even young girls who are not married often show up... Well, there are especially many young and strong people watching how Chang'an people wash dishes.
Li Shan didn't notice it, so he turned around and entered the Su family's house. These were all drawings drawn by Li Shan years ago. They were quite different from the layout of houses in this era, and looked a bit like a courtyard house.
Entering the main entrance is a courtyard, with a kitchen on the left, a horse stable on the right, and the main hall directly in front. Entering through the side doors on both sides of the main hall, you can go around to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Shan saw Mrs. Zhou facing a large bucket of dishes and chopsticks, her little hands were red, and from time to time she raised her hand to brush away the hanging black hair.
"Who gave it to you?"
Zhou raised her head in surprise and took a few steps forward. Suddenly she stopped and wiped her hands on her clothes.
"I'll share it!"
Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Li Shan frowned and saw Xiaoman straightening up at the side, but then he saw a large bucket of dishes and chopsticks on the ground over there.
Uh...I thought it was Xiaoman who caused trouble, but I didn't expect that we share the joys and sorrows.
Li Shan was a little embarrassed, and he searched for a long time before he found a few words. Zhou was still so timid, but Xiao Man was full of anger, and his eyes were rolling.
Although he knew very well that the status of concubines and maids in this era was relatively low, Li Shan never regarded them as playthings... He had never experienced this kind of scene. With his face in his previous life, he would never have encountered such a thing.
, thought for a while, said a few words of comfort and then left.
After walking around in various places, it was indeed a bit crowded. There was nothing we could do about it. Fortunately, Li Shan's prestige was there, and Su Dingfang and Zhu Wei were accompanying him, so he quickly settled down.
Bedding is spread everywhere, so at least sleeping is no problem. Food and accommodation are provided. Once accommodation and food are taken care of, it’s not difficult to do it. You can do it at any house.
"This is the house where the refugees settled last year." Zhu Wei drew a circle in the air with his hand, "Further to the south are fertile fields, to the north are mountains, and to the west the area is not big, and beyond the mountains is the Forbidden Garden, so we can only
Going east."
"Let's talk about building a house in the spring next year." Li Shan yawned, "Uncle Qi and Uncle Ling will discuss this matter."
"Mr. Ling saw the village drawing you drew last year and was amazed at it today." Zhu Wei smiled and said, "It is said to have the style of a Jiangnan village."
Li Shan smacked his lips. If you go to the Jiangnan area now, you may not be able to find a village like this.
Turning to look at the silent Su Dingfang, and then at the ten personal guards following him, Li Shan smiled and said, "Brother Dingfang, we have all gone home, so there is no need to do this, right?"
Su Dingfang shook his head, "The world is in peace, and bandits are frequent. I heard from Qi Bo that a few months ago there were large groups of bandits who took refugees to attack. What's more, even if the world is in peace, there are still wars in Guanzhong and Hedong, so we must be on guard."
Li Shan knew that this was talking about the possible Turks going south, and the implication of Su Dingfang's words was more likely to be directed at Li Dewu or even the Pei family in Hedong.
"It has been properly arranged. There are secret posts inside and outside the village. Even at night, there are two shifts. There are ten personal guards around, one every three days." Su Dingfang explained the arrangement in detail, and finally asked: "Uncle Qi, can you buy a few?
A dog is the most useful as a sentinel at night."
When he first arrived, Su Dingfang was a little nervous and didn't want to get involved too much, but after hearing about Li Shan's life experience, he took charge of the personal guards again, arranged sentinels, and punished Fan Shiyi and other personal guards.
Zhu Wei nodded with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I can buy them in Dongshi... But they are all hunting dogs for nobles."
"No need for a hunting dog, just an ordinary dog, preferably a puppy, trained from an early age."
Li Shan yawned profusely and couldn't hold it any longer. Today he went to Chang'an to take the exam and was teased by Li Dewu. After that, he had a long talk with Ling Jing. Now he just wants to go back and take a nap.
"Uncle Qi, I'm going back first... I'll mention the matter on the mountain to Brother Su."
Looking at Li Shan's back, Zhu Wei turned his head and looked at Su Dingfang again, and said with a smile: "Da Lang always knows people well."
Su Dingfang did not say a word, but turned his head and motioned for his guards to follow Li Shan.
"Dalang Huairen, you are well suited to your orders and prohibitions." Zhu Wei extended his hand and led Su Dingfang up the mountain.
A quarter of an hour later, even though Su Dingfang had grown up since childhood, he couldn't help but be stunned. At the innermost side of Dongshan Temple, after passing through two houses and a long passage, he saw countless grains and rice of all kinds.
"This is also to reassure you." Zhu Wei said softly: "Even if there are 500 households in the village and a population of more than 2,000, it is enough to fill our stomachs."
"How...why are there so many?" Su Dingfang even wondered if the people from Zhujiagou had robbed a government granary somewhere.
"More than half a year ago, when Liu Heitao resurrected and before the Turkic army went south, Dalang secretly sent people to buy grain and rice everywhere." Zhu Wei sighed: "If it weren't for this, the fields in Zhujiagou were barren, how could Dalang dare to carry them with him?
A hundred people came back?"
At this moment, Li Shan at the bottom of the mountain was already lying on the bed, listening to Xiaoman's chirping beside him.
"Mr. Lang..." Xiaoman moved into Li Shan's arms dissatisfied. After talking for a long time, his mouth was dry, but Li Shan was lazy.
Li Shan was really sleepy, but after finding the book of poems from the study room, he glanced at it a few times and couldn't help but feel a little stupid. They all used pinyin letters... Some poems took a long time to figure out how to pronounce them.
"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." Li Shan put his arm around Xiaoman, still thinking about the pinyin of the sentence just now, and what poem to use. The key is the period. Try to be Tang poetry, which conforms to the aesthetics of the times. If you can't use it, you can't use it.
"Mr. Lang..."
I'm a serious person!
Li Shan let go of his hand, pushed Xiaoman away, and said solemnly: "Blow out the lamp and sleep well!"
