Chapter 166 Li Ji: I really want to meet this amazing young man.
When he was less than one-fifth of the way through the story, Li Shimin put the draft away with a bang and looked at Wang Zi'an with burning eyes.
"Zian, you don't have to look for anyone. I'll look for someone for you. I happen to know a few people from the Hanlin Academy. Let them write for you - try to satisfy you..."
Wang Zi’an:……
I just want to find a few poor scholars to write me a story and kill time. You can get me some big guys from the Hanlin Academy!
Are all the people in your Hanlin Academy so idle?
But looking at his attitude, it won’t work if he is not allowed to find someone to write it.
"Okay, you can find them, but first, I have to find people for these other stories by myself. I also hope that these stories will cultivate a group of new authors with broad vision and imagination. You can pick them up for me."
Well, I’m still raising shit..."
Wang Zi'an put away all the drafts angrily and piled them on the desk with a paperweight.
That casual look made the eyes of Li Shimin and others twitch. Writing a book is such a serious and dignified thing, but in the end it was like taking a sip of cold water. This casualness was a bit too much.
But a few people didn't dare to say anything. Who could let people be so awesome?
"Prince Bin, I'll leave this matter to you. Find it for me as soon as possible. The writing doesn't need to be very good. It just needs to be straightforward and fluent. Of course, it's best to find a few people who are talented in telling stories. If that doesn't work, you can find someone first.
A few storytellers, let them see..."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an's eyes suddenly lit up and he clapped his hands excitedly.
My idea was wrong from the beginning. I wanted to find a talented scholar. This was not about taking the imperial examination. If I wanted to listen to stories, a storyteller would be the most professional.
"Yes, just find the storyteller! Then you can find a few scholars and write them down for me, and then polish them a little bit..."
Everyone:…
Are you writing a book?
You are ruining scholars!
Wang Zi'an doesn't care about their messy ideas. Being able to perfectly solve his book shortage problem is the greatest victory.
"Are you planning to open a bookstore?"
Holding the draft of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Shimin asked angrily. This bitch doesn't take writing a book seriously.
"Ah, it doesn't matter whether it can be opened or not. I'm not short of money. I just want to spend a few bucks to find someone to write a story for me..."
Li Shimin:......
It’s so heartbreaking!
When he thought of his pockets which were now cleaner than his face, Li Shimin lost interest in talking to him.
Before Li Shimin left, he reluctantly asked for two boxes of moisturizer from Wang Zi'an.
"Old Li, go back and tell your wives and daughters that there is not a drop left here, so please don't come back again..."
This dog emperor rubs my things for free every day!
As for Ma Zhou and Li Yifu, they mixed a jar of Erguotou alone and left happily. Ma Zhou, in particular, was in a good mood and his feet were shaking.
With this jar of Erguotou, there will be a few more good days ahead.
The sky is getting darker and fine snowflakes are beginning to float in the sky again.
The prince was lying on the couch in front of the window, staring at the flickering fire in a daze. In the blink of an eye, he must have traveled through time for more than half a year.
If you think about it carefully, everything feels like a dream, somehow unreal.
…
While Wang Zi'an was looking at the fire in a trance, an elite team wearing white cloaks and giant wooden clogs quietly appeared at the foot of Bingzhou City like ghosts.
The British governor Li Ji, who had received the notice long ago, looked at this large army that suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost with a shocked face.
Walking on the snow without leaving a trace, traveling thousands of miles in a day!
Only a few days after receiving the notice, this army suddenly and truly appeared in front of him.
You can actually walk on knee-deep snow like flying!
It's incredible.
What surprised him the most was the accompanying logistics troops. The baggage arrived at the same time.
"Brother Mao Gong, you're fine—"
Just when his mind was shaken and he was looking up and down at this novel team, a middle-aged man in the crowd suddenly lifted the curtain on his head and came forward with a loud laugh.
Li Ji couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Brother Yao, long time no see. How are you? I was just thinking about who would be the commander of this strange army. Even the Ministry of War's text was vague and refused to say it clearly. I didn't expect that your commander was dispatched directly.
It seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to this operation."
When Li Jing heard this, he nodded seriously.
"Your Majesty really has high hopes for this operation, so they and I acted secretly when we left the capital. Brother Wangmao, don't be surprised - by the way, how is the situation on your side now?"
"Fortunately - now Jieli's army is divided into two groups. One group is led by generals Yalkin and Ashinadur to harass Hexi. Suzhou garrison Zhang Shigui and Ganzhou garrison Zhang Bao form a unified army.
The situation is clearing the country, and he is personally leading the main army to gather in Yunzhou and Shuozhou."
Having said this, Li Ji looked back at Li Jing and continued.
"It was quite tricky at first, but after the wall was fortified and the country was cleared, there was no way to say that. In the past few days, apart from yelling and cursing outside every day, there was nothing I could do. I estimate that in the next two days, he will either risk his life to attack the city, or he will
I can only go back home..."
As Li Ji spoke, he carefully looked at the troops behind Li Jing.
"I wonder which senior expert came up with this idea. With such a pair of clogs, people can walk on the snow like flying. With these guys without wheels and a few dogs, they can carry food and grass.
It’s incredible that it was shipped here…”
Hearing this, Li Jing couldn't help but have a strange smile on his face.
"These are not called clogs, they are skis, and those without wheels are sleds - according to His Majesty, these things are all made by a young man who is only a weak man. Even the elite backbone behind me is also
Specially trained by that young man..."
Having said this, Li Jing couldn't help but show a look of admiration on his face.
"I, Li Jing, have been leading troops for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of tactics. It's really incredible——"
"A young man with only a weak crown?"
Li Ji couldn't help but have an incredible look on his face.
"You said these tools and this army were all made by a young man?"
Li Jing nodded seriously and shook his head with some regret.
"Not only that, even many of the igloos on the edge of your city were created by some young man. Unfortunately, I was sent by Your Majesty before I had a chance to follow Your Majesty to meet this young talent.
Here we are…”
Li Ji:……
He couldn't help but glance at the low, mushroom-like igloos in the distance, with an expression of surprise in his eyes.
As the governor of Bingzhou, no one knows better than him the huge role these igloos played in preparing for this war.
Without these snow houses, just with this solid wall and clear wilderness, I don’t know how many people who migrated from outside the customs would freeze to death. It was inspired by this snow house that I let the guards of Yunzhou and Shuozhou freeze on the city wall.
A thick layer of ice formed, leaving Jieli's army helpless and avoiding many unnecessary casualties.
I really want to meet this amazing young man.
