Li Shan, who was lying on the bed, stared at the ceiling and only shook his hand. Zhou and Xiaoman, who were holding clothes, looked at each other and could only quietly exit the bedroom.
Not to mention after time travel, even in his previous life, Li Shan had never slept until he woke up naturally in the past few days. In fact, the powerful biological clock transcended the obstacles of time and space and forced Li Shan to wake up early, but he would rather keep his eyes open than wake up.
Be willing to get up.
In Daizhou, even after the war, even if Li Shan was lying in bed recuperating, he still had to think about many things, about Li Jing, about Xia City, about Li Kai, about the powerful families in Dai County, and about Liu Shirang in Mayi.
Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche who stayed in Daizhou Army...
Back in Chang'an, although there was another thing that needed to take up his mind, in general, Li Shan had a lot of rest time and didn't need to think too much.
Of course, although Li Shan did not shy away from it, he did not want to see the village in vain all the time. The sadness was buried deep in his heart, but the days still moved forward without stopping.
He just kept lying there, lying there... until Mrs. Zhu couldn't bear it anymore and drove her son out of bed.
After washing up, Li Shan sat lazily in the yard and asked casually: "Is everything settled?"
"They have all been settled." Zhang Zhongjian said softly: "Uncle Qi said that we will build a new house after the spring of next year."
"Yes." Li Shan nodded, "Let Qu Silang go and ask. If there is anything wrong, report it immediately."
"yes."
After two months in Daizhou, Wang Junhao reorganized the bodyguards, using dozens of surviving bodyguards as the backbone, and asked Zhang Zhongjian to select warriors from among his confidants, and then asked Qu Silang to select from the young men who had gathered to follow Li Kai south to aid Nao County.
, a total of two hundred people gathered.
These people were all from Daizhou, Shuozhou and Xinzhou. They moved to Guanzhong with Li Shan this time and naturally settled in Sun Moon Lake. Zhuangzi suddenly had nearly two hundred households, so the original houses were naturally not enough.
However, according to Zhu Wei and Ling Jing's reaction, the original villagers had some objections... Now the entire Zhuangzi is under Li Shan's name. He only needs to pay a small amount of land rent and does not need to consider taxes and corvees, but he is accepted as a personal guard.
The treatment is much better.
This is a beneficial thing... How can Lang Jun leave it all to outsiders?
But Li Shan's limit of two hundred personal guards was already high. Any more... would be too much. Counting from Li Shimin down, the entire Tiance Mansion has so many confidant generals, and the total number of personal guards does not exceed one thousand.
.
Of course, this refers to the personal guards who stayed in Chang'an.
It was Ling Jing who told Li Shan at the beginning of the year. The latter couldn't help but think that it was probably the truth. He remembered that during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Gao Shilian, Gao Shicheng's father, wanted to release prisoners in custody to serve as soldiers... He had
The personal guard might come in handy.
Li Shan thought about it in his mind and glanced at Zhang Zhongjian, "Sanlang is serving as the Suwei. He is overqualified and underused. Why not go to the Zuowuwei?"
Among the people who followed Li Shan back to Chang'an, Wang Junhao did not join the army even though he got the title of county boy. He Liu now lives in the house of his brother-in-law Yuan Junzhang. Only Su Dingfang was promoted to General Zuowuwei. This is
The position second only to the general in the twelve-guard system.
"I am willing to hold a halberd for you." Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile: "Does your husband dislike being ugly?"
"Hahaha!" Li Shan laughed and said seriously: "Sanlang will be no weaker than Brother Dingfang in the future."
Although he is a legendary figure, he is the boss of the Three Fengchen Heroes, and Zhang Zhongjian also made great achievements in defeating the Turks three times this time. If it weren't for him, there might not have been a great victory at Cangtou River.
But to be honest, it is very difficult for a poor family to become an official. If you are beautiful and have a clear voice, it is still possible. For someone like Zhang Zhongjian... it is indeed more difficult.
Coming to this era, Li Shan had met countless officials, and the ugliest one was probably the famous Yu Chigong, but even this doorkeeper was handsome compared to Zhang Zhongjian...
After joking for a while, Li Shan was about to ask someone about what to eat for lunch. There was a noise outside the door, and a slightly sharp voice came, "Brother Huairen, brother Huairen, come and see!"
Li Shan watched helplessly as Zhang Wenguan walked in with his head held high, "Tomorrow, I will definitely go to Cui Mansion tomorrow!"
It had only been four or five days since he returned to Beijing. Zhang Wenguan had to come around almost every day and asked Li Shan to accompany him to the Cui Mansion... This guy stayed in Daizhou for two months. It is said that his father Zhang Qianxiong was furious in Yangcheng.
The letter asked my sister Zhang to strictly control her.
Zhang Wenguan, who looked excited, his face fell, "It's not necessary... I've sent a letter from my aunt, and my eldest brother will be arriving in the next two days."
Li Shan couldn't help laughing, "You deserve it!"
Zhang Wenguan curled his lips and pointed at a strange wooden utensil carried by two servants behind him, "This was made by my little brother after I found a supervisor!"
Li Shan's eyes lit up and he stepped forward to take a few glances. He didn't quite understand how it was operated. Zhang Wenguan immediately asked someone to get some cotton and operate it himself.
After finding cotton, Li Shan's biggest worry was how to remove the seeds. The cotton was wrapped around the seeds in layers. Without suitable tools, removing cotton seeds was very labor-intensive and inefficient. In fact, this was exactly what cotton was promoted for.
The biggest obstacle.
Li Shan was a rural boy in his previous life, but cotton was not grown in the village. Naturally, he did not know how to remove the seeds. Instead, he had seen cotton playing...
When he returned to Daizhou from Chang'an at the beginning of the year, Li Shan specially asked a group of people to try to grow cotton, and he has also been asking people to develop tools for removing cotton seeds, but unfortunately there has been no progress.
More than a month ago, when Zhang Wenguan visited Daizhou, it happened to be the cotton picking season. In fact, Li Shan stayed in Daizhou for this reason.
After listening to Li Shan's troubles, Zhang Wenguan accidentally experimented with a method, which is simple to say. Use an iron rod and a supporting plate to rub the cotton. Due to the friction, the cotton was taken away, leaving behind
Plant cotton seeds.
Although it is a bit labor-intensive, it is ultimately much faster than manual summarization.
Today's device was developed by Zhang Wenguan, who had a relationship with the master craftsman who would serve as the supervisor. He stuffed the cotton into a drum, grabbed the wooden handle and shook it. What came out of the other end of the drum was clean cotton, a
The servant used a brush to brush off the cotton. Another servant lay down on the ground and opened an opening. Dozens of cotton seeds still entangled with some cotton fell out.
Li Shan patted Zhang Wenguan's shoulder hard, and his joy was palpable. Although the operation was a little troublesome, requiring at least two people, and it was not too clean, the efficiency was increased dozens of times.
Okay, tomorrow we can play with the cotton, and then let Zhou and Xiaoman sew a few pieces, which will give them a way to enter the palace. Li Shan thought to himself that it has been five days since he returned to Beijing, and it is time to enter the palace to talk to Li Yuan.
Thinking about Li Shan also having a headache for Li Yuan, how to arrange himself is indeed a troublesome matter... And for this kind of matter, even if Li Yuan comes to speak, others will be treated poorly, so they can only speak on their own.
