I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 292 Polo
How could Cui Xiuli not know Cui Zhifeng's little thoughtfulness, so she gave him a flat look and said, "Grandpa will be going back tomorrow."

Cui Zhifeng was taken aback, and said, "So fast?"

Cui Xiuli said, "Isn't this what you hoped for?"

Cui Zhifeng smiled awkwardly and asked, "Grandpa is gone, what about the Wang family? We can't handle it."

"The Wang family has already been here once, and they won't come again." Cui Xiuli said.

Cui Zhifeng said with some doubts: "The Wang family won't give up so easily, will they?"

Cui Xiuli looked at Cui Zhifeng like an idiot.

Cui Zhifeng was a little scared, and said: "Is what I said wrong?"

"Of course the Wang family won't give up, but they won't come to us. It's nothing more than a game between the families." Cui Xiuli looked back and said lightly.

Cui Zhifeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "As long as they don't bother us."

Cui Xiuli was a little speechless, and said: "Just do the paperwork well, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Sister, how about our paper is twice as expensive as Moxuanzhai? It's still cheaper than Wang's." Cui Zhifeng laughed.

The paper they bought was originally lower than the retail price of Moxuanzhai.

If the retail price doubles, it is not as simple as doubling the profit.

You should know that the retail price of Moxuanzhai includes costs.

And they get the paper from Moxuanzhai, plus the transportation cost, the calculated price of a piece of paper is about the same as the retail price from Moxuanzhai.

Doubling it means that they buy a hundred guan of paper and sell it for a hundred guan.

This is 100% profit.

Cui Xiuli nodded and said, "Just do as you say."

……

After sending Zhao Min away, Lin Xuan went back to his study to revise "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

It's not enough to just delete the ones after the Xuanwu Gate Change.There are also some sensitive things to be aware of.

"The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was written in the Qing Dynasty.In order to praise the heroes he likes in his heart, the author will discredit some characters.But now it is the Tang Dynasty, and many characters in the book are still there, so you can't scribble.

In the evening, after Lin Xuan finished his meal, he returned to his study and continued to work.

Until Chunyue reminded him to sleep, Lin Xuan didn't finish half of the adaptation.

Lin Xuan put down his pen, took a bath under the service of Chunyue and Yuhe, and went to bed.

After an upheaval, Lin Xuan fell into a deep sleep with Chunyue in his arms.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Lin Xuan washed up, had breakfast, and went to court under the service of the two.

Chatted with Cheng Yaojin and the others at the palace gate, waited until the palace gate opened, and walked in with the team.

Tai Chi Hall

"His Majesty is here!"

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin walked to the seat on the high platform, sat down, and waved: "Excuse me!"

Li Mu took a step forward and shouted: "If there is something to do, play it early!"

Li Daozong came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the northern border that Western Turks and Xue Yantuo are reorganizing their armies recently. The border guards are worried that the two countries will invade the Tang Dynasty. Please send more troops to your majesty."

Li Shimin intends to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, of course Li Daozong knows.

But these things still have to be said, what if Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks invade Datang?
Some things, if you say it out, don't blame him if something goes wrong.

Li Shimin pondered for a while and said: "Although it may not be big, it can't be a big deal. Order the border guards to be careful."

Even so, Li Shimin did not intend to increase his troops.

Is it possible that Western Turks and Xue Yantuo will invade Datang?
absolutely.

But Li Shimin believes that he can come and respond in time.

Everything has risks, but compared with Pingping Grassland, this risk is nothing.

"Yes!" Li Daozong retreated.

Dou Lukuan, Minister of Rites, came out and said, "Your Majesty, will there be a polo club this year?"

Polo, known in history as "jumping", "hitting the ball", etc., is a sport of hitting a wooden ball with a long-handled mallet while riding on horseback.

This sport has been popular in the Central Plains as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty in China.In addition to horses, this form of exercise mainly uses balls and sticks.The ball is only the size of a fist, made of light but resilient wood, hollowed out in the middle, and painted on the outside.

Before the Tang Dynasty, polo was not popular.

Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, liked this sport very much, and held polo clubs every year in September and October.

Li Shimin also likes it more, but since he ascended the throne, there have been many natural disasters, so it is not held every year.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "It will be set in ten days. Young children from Zhuqing's family can sign up. I will bring the queen to see. If you perform well, I will reward you."

"Yes!" Dou Lukuan replied.

After another half an hour, today's morning is over.

Lin Xuan greeted Cheng Yaojin and others, and after leaving the palace, they came to the East Palace.

Li Chengqian also needs to go to court. When Lin Xuan arrived at the East Palace, Li Chengqian hadn't returned yet.

Lin Xuan waited for a while at the gate of the East Palace before seeing Li Chengqian's car driving back.

As the carriage approached, Lin Xuan stepped forward to salute.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Zi Chu is here, hurry up and go in with Gu."

Li Chengqian led Lin Xuan to the main hall of the East Palace, asked someone to bring tea, and sent away all the waiters.

"How is it?" Li Chengqian asked quickly after they left.

Lin Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Returning to Your Highness, the investigation has been clear. The women of the Su parents are gentle and kind, and there are no major shortcomings."

He didn't make Su Wan'er perfect.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

If he described Su Wan'er too perfectly, the Su Wan'er in Li Chengqian's mind would be even more perfect.

When Li Chengqian got married and found that Su Wan'er was not so perfect, he would definitely be disappointed.

Li Chengqian showed a smile, as long as Su Wan'er has a kind personality and won't harm his eldest son.

I have to say that the current Li Chengqian still has a trace of innocence.

In a place like the harem, if there is no scheming, the end will not be so good.

Whether Su Wan'er will become a scheming person in the future is anyone's guess.

"Thank you, Zichu." Li Chengqian thanked.

"Your Highness is being polite." Lin Xuan said.

Li Chengqian didn't say much on this topic, and said, "By the way, those donations have already been put into storage. When do you think road construction will start?"

Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, the output of cement is not much right now. The most urgent thing is to build more fire kilns, preferably in various places, and then fire cement. When the weather warms up next year, we can start road construction. "

Li Chengqian was taken aback, and asked, "Why can't you burn cement and build roads at the same time?"

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, road construction requires not only cement, but also sand and some gravel. It's not long before winter, so it's better to prepare materials now. When the weather gets warmer, we can start working in multiple sections at the same time."

"I understand." Li Chengqian nodded, knowing that he was a little impatient.

Lin Xuan cupped his hands and said, "If your Highness is fine, I will take my leave first, and I will send someone to bring the method of cement firing later."

"Wait, don't be in a hurry. The polo club will be held in ten days. Do you want to participate?" Li Chengqian asked.

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "I have never played polo before, so I don't know how to play polo at all. Of course I won't participate."

Li Chengqian said with some regret: "Gu is still planning to find you to form a team."

"Your Highness, have you forgotten what I said? Your Highness had better not ride a horse." Lin Xuan warned.

There are two versions of Li Chengqian's foot disease in history.

One is that it was caused by illness, and the other is that Li Tai tampered with Li Chengqian's horse, and Li Chengqian fell off the horse, leaving his legs disabled.

From the current point of view, Li Chengqian is in good health, so it is likely to be the latter possibility.

But if Li Chengqian and Li Tai don't deal with each other, the possibility of them going out riding together is very low.

Then it is very likely that Li Tai tampered with him at the polo meeting.

Whether it is or not, Lin Xuan wants to prevent this possibility.

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Then I won't participate, I will watch it then."

Although he didn't understand why Lin Xuan kept emphasizing that he was not allowed to ride a horse, he could feel the concern in his tone.

Therefore, Li Chengqian did not insist.
