Since you are escaping from marriage, of course the farther you can escape, the better.
Li Qinzai felt that he was very considerate and provided Cui Jie with an excellent escape destination.
South America is so wonderful, with its black indigenous people, corn, potatoes, and most importantly, chili peppers.
Taking some chili peppers back to Datang could be regarded as reciprocating a favor.
Cui Jie finally said goodbye to Li Qinzai and left Ganjing Village with her maid Congshuang.
This time, her pace on the road was much more brisk.
Perhaps, after the conversation with Li Qinzai, the pressure in her heart was relieved a lot.
Although neither of them has a good impression of the other, when it comes to getting married, everyone at least has the same attitude.
Looking at Cui Jie's thin but determined back, Li Qinzai was thoughtful, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved for Liu Asi to come over.
"Send two subordinates to follow these two guys secretly, so they don't get discovered by her. Don't interfere in any decision she makes. Unless you are in danger, you can protect them."
Liu Asi nodded and said happily: "This is what I wanted to suggest to Fifth Young Master just now. After all, they are members of the Cui family. Two weak girls have their own shortcomings on the road, and it is difficult for the Li family to explain them."
Li Qinzai shook his head: "It has nothing to do with the Cui family. I just think this woman is a fool and has no experience in the world. There is no guarantee that something will happen."
"Business is not a matter of friendship. As a man, you must have some grace after all."
Liu Asi responded with a smile, turned around, found two more clever steps, and asked them to add them quietly.
…………
Returning to the other courtyard, Li Qinzai left Cui Jie behind.
He needs to concentrate on toilet paper.
If Cui Jie found out, a piece of toilet paper was more important than her in the eyes of this dude, I don't know how she would feel.
The bark is removed from the felled wood and cut into pieces.
Use a stone mortar to pound it into powder, then get a huge steamer to put the powder in and cook it.
After cooking, wood pulp is formed.
Continue to wash the wood pulp with water, then add green sandalwood bark, kiwi juice, Yang Teng, etc., and various seasonings like cooking to form a mixed pulp.
Then it is rolled with graphite, and the air and moisture are squeezed out, making the paper pulp tough without losing the wrinkles and softness of toilet paper. Finally, it is scooped out with handmade bamboo curtains and exposed to the sun.
Sunlight is a natural bleaching agent, and it is probably not bad after a few days of exposure.
With excitement, Li Qinzai spent the past two days hiding in another courtyard secretly inventing toilet paper.
This thing is very important. To Li Qinzai, it is more important than the divine arm bow and horseshoe.
After all, it was closely related to his eating, drinking, and diarrhea, so Li Qinzai was extremely concerned about it this time.
The scale of paper-drying was a bit grand, and Li Qinzai requisitioned three courtyards of other courtyards, all of which were used for paper-drying.
The stewards and servants of other courtyards were puzzled as to what Fifth Young Master was doing, but Liu Asi seemed a little nervous.
When he was in Chang'an City, every time Fifth Young Master wanted to make something new, the mansion was always on guard, especially regarding the secret recipe, and Mrs. Erlang was as guarded against everyone as if she were on guard against thieves.
This time, the Fifth Young Master wanted to make something new in the other courtyard in the countryside. Liu Asi was hesitant about whether to take the steps to put the courtyard under martial law.
It was Li Qinzai who stopped him. The butt-wiping thing was like protecting a cash transport truck, which was unnecessary.
At noon the next day, the paper had dried in the sun. Li Qinzai looked at the paper carefully and found that his workmanship was still a bit poor. Compared with the white toilet paper in his previous life, the paper made by Li Qinzai was a little yellowish.
I picked up a piece and rubbed it in my hands. It was not tough enough, but it was much stronger than the hemp paper used by wealthy families in this era. It was especially soft and wrinkled. Objectively speaking, it was pretty good to be able to achieve this level.
Already.
Li Qinzai was overjoyed, pulled off a few pieces of toilet paper, turned around and rushed into the latrine.
"Get out of the way! I've been holding it in for two days, just waiting for today!" Li Qinzai rushed into the hut like a gust of wind.
Lift up your robe, squat down, and do it all at once.
Outside the latrine, Liu Asi's voice suddenly came faintly.
"Fifth Young Master, I have something to report..."
Li Qinzai was startled: "You won't let me go even if I'm squatting in the hut! We won't talk about the big deal until I finish!"
Liu Asi refused to give up and said: "It's about the Miss Cui family..."
Li Qinzai was exerting force, and when he heard the words, he burst out from between his teeth: "Shut up! I can only deal with one piece of shit at a time. After I deal with this piece of shit, you can talk about Miss Cui's affairs again."
Liu Asi fell silent.
After a while, Li Qinzai walked out of the hut refreshed and happy.
"Good stuff! It will be mass-produced immediately. The people of the Tang Dynasty will be blessed from now on. They can think of me every time they make daddy..."
Liu Asi laughed along.
Li Qinzai then glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with Miss Cui? Didn't you let her go?"
Liu Asi sighed: "Early this morning, the two Cui family members rushed to Weinan County. As soon as they entered the city, Miss Cui discovered the spy sent by the Cui family, wandering around the city, and almost met Miss Cui.
.”
"Miss Cui was frightened and hurriedly took the maid out of the city. The two women sat in the pile of rocks and held their heads and cried for a long time. They didn't know where to go. Later, they discussed it and Bu Qu quickly reported back that the two women seemed to be heading to Ganjing.
Zhuang is coming..."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "They are coming back again?"
Liu Asi smiled bitterly and said, "It seems so."
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled: "You just came out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den again. Miss Cui is really in a bad fate, and her years are not good."
Liu Asi probed: "If Miss Cui still decides to stay in Ganjing Village temporarily, how should we deal with it?"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "To me, she is just a stranger. As long as she does not disturb my life, I will not disturb her. Any decision she makes is her own business. Why should I deal with it?"
"But this is our Li family's village."
"Forget it, let her live here. In addition to the Li family village, there are probably many spies sent by the Cui family outside. Where else can they go? If we drive them away, the Cui family will definitely find them. Even if I don't want to
You must get married if you get married."
Liu Asi coughed twice and said, "I see that Miss Cui is a very nice girl. Why doesn't Fifth Young Master want to marry her?"
"It's not sweet to be strong. If I get married to a woman who hates me, what kind of life do you think I will have in the rest of my life?"
Liu Asi understood, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "If Fifth Young Master had woken up a few years earlier, your reputation in Chang'an would not have been..."
At this point Liu Asi didn't dare to say anything, but his expression was still full of regret.
Li Qinzai felt the same way.
If I had traveled through time a few years earlier, I wouldn't have been saddled with so many scapegoats.
…………
Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.
Two pieces of news came to Tai Chi Palace today, both good news.
The first news came from Zheng Rentai, the general manager of the march in Tiele Road, who sent a military envoy to report that the Wang division had marched to Tianshan and started a war with the nine tribes of Tiele.
Tie Le supported more than 100,000 troops to resist, and the two armies faced off at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
The nomads on the grassland were brave and reckless. When the two armies faced off, they did not launch an attack. Instead, they sent a dozen brave men to challenge the Tang army.
So Xue Rengui, the deputy general manager of the Tiele Road march, went out to fight alone and shot three arrows with the divine arm bow invented by Li Qinzai. All three arrows hit the Tiele warriors 200 steps away. The rest were afraid of Xue Rengui's power and dismounted one after another to surrender.
After three arrows, the morale of the Tiele tribe dropped sharply, and Zheng Rentai, the general manager of the Tang army, immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
Tiele was defeated and retreated for hundreds of miles. The Tang army beheaded countless people in this battle, and the victory was determined.
Throughout this war, it all started with Xue Rengui's three arrows. Therefore, in the military report sent by Zheng Rentai to the imperial court, Xue Rengui's three arrows were cited as the first contribution to the northern campaign against Tiele.
The general's three arrows anchored the Tianshan Mountains, and the warrior's long song entered the Hanguan Pass.
The second news is that Li Qinzai compiled "Hundred Family Surnames" in Ganjingzhuang to enlighten Qiao'er. When the hundreds of family surnames became more and more popular among the children in Ganjingzhuang, Chang'an City, which was only a hundred miles away from Weinan, finally
heard.
So "Hundred Family Surnames" was introduced from the people to the palace, and reached heaven to hear it.
Tai Chi Palace, inside Chengxiang Hall.
Li Zhi, who was wearing a yellow robe, smiled endlessly and was in a very happy mood. Even the dizziness he often suffered recently has been relieved a lot.
"Three arrows can set the Tianshan Mountains, and I will have a successor for the generals of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Zhi laughed.
Queen Wu on the side saluted Li Zhi with a smile: "I congratulate your majesty on the Tang Dynasty's northern expedition to Tiele. The king's army swept across Mobei and conquered the world."
Li Zhi smiled even more heartily.
This time I felt truly proud.
Before that, both Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang often said that today's people are not as good as the late Emperor Taizong. These unpleasant words made Li Zhi very angry, but he had nothing to do.
Objectively speaking, from the current point of view, Li Zhi is indeed not as outstanding as Li Shimin. After all, the world was basically stable when Li Zhi ascended the throne, and there were not many opportunities to use foreign troops.
Li Zhi's philosophy of governing the country was also different from Li Shimin's. Li Zhi was a wise monarch. He knew that during Li Shimin's lifetime, the population and wealth had been reduced due to too frequent use of foreign troops, and a lot of people's vitality had been damaged.
After Li Zhi ascended the throne, his main energy was spent on recuperation, and his military achievements were naturally not as good as Li Shimin's.
But this time, Xue Rengui captured the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, and the Tang Dynasty King's cauldron captured the Mobei. They won in one battle. This was indeed great news for Li Zhi. He could finally hold his head high in front of the courtiers.
I am a hero, and my father can win battles, so I am no less good.
As for "Hundred Family Surnames" compiled by Li Qinzai, there is another good news.
If the Three Arrows Ding Tianshan is Li Zhi's "martial arts", then this piece of "Hundred Family Surnames" that suddenly appeared is Li Zhi's "wenzhi".
Within one day, Li Zhi lit up the two skill points of "Wenzhi" and "Martial Arts" at the same time.
It just happened to be such a coincidence that the three arrows Xue Rengui shot happened to be from the divine arm bow invented by Li Qinzai.
Li Zhi's civil and martial arts are all related to Li Qinzai.
