As Li Shan spoke, he rubbed his hands vigorously, and the little boy of five or six years old beside him screamed, danced and chased the bamboo dragonfly flying away.
"Huairen is a bit childlike." Chai Shao laughed and joked: "Next time someone from the Feng family comes to Beijing, I'll have to ask..."
Li Shan rolled his eyes, thinking that he would have to change his rhetoric in the future, and couldn't push it to Lingnan every time... Well, just like poetry and prose, he threw them all to Lingnan at first, and then privately said that it was the god in the dream.
Grant.
Most people don't believe this statement, but there are also some who are half-convinced... such as Ma Zhou, Ling Jing and others who are most familiar with Li Shan.
"Uncle, uncle." The little boy grabbed the bamboo dragonfly and ran back, begging Li Shan to fly again.
This little boy is Chai Zhewei, the eldest son of Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao. Naturally, he is called Uncle Li Shan... In the eyes of the little guy, this little uncle is much more fun and can play more than the other uncles.
Li Shan rubbed his hands casually, and Chai Zhewei followed the flying bamboo dragonfly and ran away. It must be that this kind of experience is relatively rare for him... Chai Shao has been idle at home for more than a year, even if Ma Yinshi is responsible,
The subordinates went to deal with it, and it was said that they were responsible for the enlightenment of the two sons.
"Third sister is not recovered yet?"
As Li Shanzheng spoke, Princess Pingyang came out of the inner room. As she walked, she touched the cotton-padded jacket on her body, with a novel look. She had mostly ordered the guards to collect cotton seeds. She didn't expect that the flowers would still be there.
Can fill clothes to keep warm.
"not bad."
Princess Pingyang gave a simple compliment, causing her husband beside her to laugh.
Chai Shao was really speechless. Because Li Shan came to visit, his wife specially asked for leave and stayed at home to wait. As a result, this guy sent two cotton-padded jackets. Can these things be worn out?
Well, it really doesn't look good. Li Shan drew the drawings and asked Zhou and Xiaoman to sew it. It was almost the style of the green military coat of later generations... Chai Shao refused at the first time. He couldn't afford to embarrass this person, but Pingyang
The princess is willing to give it a try.
After enduring it again and again, Chai Shao complained: "Huairen was appointed to Daizhou in the year of Xu. It is said that every time he sent a letter back to Chang'an, it was delivered to the Cui Mansion in large and small boxes..."
The meaning is obvious. How many treasures did you give to Cui Shiniang? Our husband and wife supported you in Chang'an, and you just used this thing to fool us?
Li Shanqian laughed a few times, and Princess Pingyang glanced at her husband, pinched the bulge on the cotton-padded jacket with her right hand, and suddenly said: "In addition to keeping out the cold, if it is filled with other things... it may also be able to defend against bows and arrows."
After hearing this, Li Shan was stunned. This focus is so special!
Although you are one of the few female generals in history, she is still a woman after all. She doesn’t care about whether the cotton-padded jacket is bloated and unsightly, but she cares about whether the cotton-padded jacket can withstand bows and arrows?
But Li Shan immediately remembered that there seemed to be cotton armor in history, but it had to wait until the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Li Shan said enthusiastically: "Third sister has great eyesight!"
"Clip the iron piece into the cotton and fix it again." Princess Pingyang nodded and said: "You can make a few pairs later and try them in the Forbidden Garden."
In fact, the cotton armor of the Ming Dynasty was mainly used to defend against firearms. Of course, it also had good defense against bows and arrows. Li Shan responded and talked about weapons monitoring.
Princess Pingyang didn't understand for a while, and Chai Shao laughed and scolded: "The Weapons Supervisor doesn't care about this. Although the Weapons Supervisor was established in the first year of Wude, including the Armor Department, the Bow and Crossbow Department, etc., they were later transferred to the Shaofu."
"Oh oh oh!" Li Shan was overjoyed. The deal was done... In the early Tang Dynasty, the mines were all under the control of the Shaofu. Li Shan mined ores in Daizhou and made horseshoes and ordnance. It was Princess Pingyang who established the relationship.
With Li Yuan and Princess Pingyang advertising, Tietie's military supply business has not gone away, and the subsequent promotion and large-scale planting will be much more convenient.
Princess Pingyang has a special focus. I didn’t even think of cotton armor!
"It's really just for business."
Facing Chai Shao's ridicule, Li Shan said confidently, "This is a major military and national event!"
"Besides, a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely!"
"Is it done in a reasonable way?" Chai Shao sneered twice, "Would you like to read to you the memorial from Yushitai impeaching you for committing an army to sack the city... It is said that 50% of the property looted in Zuoyun County belongs to you.
?”
Li Shan shrank, nodded and said: "Fifty percent belongs to my younger brother, 30% of which is distributed to the soldiers who died in Guji Town, and the remaining 20% is distributed by Ma Sanbao."
Chai Shao's nose was almost crooked with anger, Ma Bi, if you do such a thing, you have to drag us and my husband... But the people Ma Sanbao distributed must be the personal guards who followed Li Shan in the deadly battle in Guji Town. In name,
They were sent by Princess Pingyang, but some of them were Chai Shao's personal guards.
"Okay!" Princess Pingyang snorted, "Sinong Qing took office yesterday, and today several imperial officials wrote to impeach him... In a few days, the appointment will probably be announced."
"Hmm." Li Shan felt a little depressed when he thought of the guards who died in the battle at the top of the city. After thinking about it again, he finally asked: "Third sister, Du Xiao..."
Princess Pingyang sent her personal guards twice, and the leader was Du Xiao. Last year, he made great achievements in the snowy night attack on the camp in Mayi. This time in the battle of Guji Town, he fought bloody at the city wall and his left hand was split from the wrist.
Later, he insisted on following him out of the city to fight to the death, and fell off his horse during a charge. Fortunately, he was not trampled by the horse's hooves.
"We're going to Daizhou." Chai Shao said softly: "Ma Yin is brought back to the court. Naturally, Taipu Temple is in charge, but I can't get rid of him for a while. Du Xiao is in Daizhou for a long time, so he can use it.
Get to know him."
"Once you go to the battlefield, you are bound by life and death." Princess Pingyang glanced at Li Shan displeasedly, "The post-war pension will be generous, you don't have to be like this."
What else could Li Shan say? After all, he lived in a peaceful era in his previous life, and was fundamentally different from the generals of this era in this regard... It was also difficult for him to imagine that he would become someone like Li Jing.
After chatting for a while, it was already noon. A few people were drinking in the side hall. Chai Zhewei, who was sweating profusely from playing, took a few mouthfuls of rice obediently or carefully and was sent back. He is a loving father and a strict mother.
"Although this battle was dangerous, he survived after all and made great achievements." Princess Pingyang said softly: "Even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, Pei Shiju will not dare to act rashly."
The meaning is obvious. Nowadays, Li Shan's reputation has spread throughout the country and he has made great contributions to the country. In addition, with the support of his own wife, even if Pei Shiju wants to take action against Li Shan, he may not be able to succeed.
Li Shan didn't say a word, just raised his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
If before the war in Shandong, Li Shan took a risk to rescue Princess Pingyang, with the support of this famous female general in the clan, Li Shan did not have to worry. At most, it was just a failure in his official career.
But unfortunately, during the war in Shandong, Li Shan hooked up with Li Shimin through Li Keshi, and later joined his army... It was difficult to look back.
Now that Pei Shiju has invested in the East Palace, it is nothing more than planning for his heirs and eradicating the roots, so that his heirs will not be eradicated by Li Shan after his death.
