I'm playing tricks in Daqin

The Jianghu Taoist was speechless, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, how did he know that the boy was still alive and kicking after taking his own special poison? "Your Majesty, please give me one more chance, this time I will definitely make Li Gang and his son pay the price!"

"Hmph, if I can't hear your good news, you can come and see me!"

"Yes!"

A sternness flashed in the eyes of the Jianghu Taoist, and he retreated respectfully.

"Hmph, fortunately, this time it's just a trial. Although the price is not small, I have also found out a lot of things. If it wasn't for this trial, it might affect the follow-up plan."

Tang Huang looked at the figure of the Jianghu Taoist leaving, but his thoughts gradually diverged.

Then he remembered the information in the secret report, and a killing intent appeared on his face: "Father of the Li family, you must die!"

"Come on!"

Tang Huang's voice fell, and suddenly a shadow appeared in front of him.

... outside Gucheng.

Kong Rong, the prefect of Qingchuan, held a celebration banquet in the barracks to entertain Li Gang, and at the same time rewarded the soldiers of the three armies.

"Brother Li Gang, I won't say polite words, come on, do it."

Kong Rong toasted to each other. Kong and Li are family friends, offensive and defensive alliance, Tang army invaded his territory, Li family has the obligation to send troops, this is a secret agreement reached by the two elders more than a hundred years ago, and it is precisely because of this , The proposals of the two families in the court directly affected the decision-making of King Qin.

Of course, Li Gang's help was not in vain. He took two-thirds of the spoils, and Kong Rong also paid 10 taels of silver for the hard work of going to the army. This was also one of the unwritten agreements between the two parties.

The cups in the big tent were intertwined, the generals drank in big bowls and ate large pieces of meat, while the civil officials and advisers drank lightly, maintaining the demeanor of literati, but from time to time, their eyes glanced at the dozen or so singers and dancers who performed dances. The chest and the waist are really hot inside.

Li Wei was also at the banquet, and this time he was considered a meritorious minister, which changed many people's views on this former playboy.

However, Li Wei at this time was not in the mood to appreciate the dancer girl. While drinking wine, he was thinking about the war. Datang's invasion came quickly, and after the defeat, he retreated quickly. Everything seemed too simple.

But it was so simple, but it made Li Wei instinctively feel a little uneasy. He always felt that there seemed to be something hidden behind this war, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still had no clue.

It seems that we still have to seize the time to form our own team. With our own strength, no matter what the future holds, it can be regarded as having the power to protect ourselves.

Li Wei secretly made up his mind, and after returning home, he would apply to his cheap father to build his own armed force.

"Brother Li Gang, our family doesn't talk about each other. You have to give me that catapult truck."

Li Gang's heart skipped a beat, who wouldn't want to own a sharp weapon like a catapult!

No.17 Chapter Prodigal Kirin

After drinking for three rounds, Kong Rong glared at Li Gang. He had also seen the terrifying power of the catapult. Such a treasure, he would have to squeeze one. Of course, he also knew that such a treasure, he was too embarrassed to take it for nothing. , Offered a price of 10 taels of silver.

His bottom line is 15 taels of silver. If Li Gang still refuses to agree, he has no choice but to find another way. No matter what method he uses, he must get one, or at least the design draft.

"Since my uncle is so hospitable and straightforward, how can my nephew refuse?"

Li Wei, who was sitting next to Dad Cheap, hurriedly said, and handed over a roll of paper, "The catapult truck is left to Uncle, this is the design sketch, it should be a little wish from my nephew, Uncle Wanwang Laughing."

Li Gang frowned slightly, he still wanted to keep such a powerful weapon for attacking fortifications, but his son sold it as soon as he said it, what a prodigal.

Not to mention him, even the advisers and generals in Jiayue Province all frowned, they also had the same thoughts as Li Gang, how could such a sharp weapon of the government be sold to others indiscriminately?

Feeling his precious son's hand gently touching his thigh, although Li Gang didn't understand what kind of medicine his precious son Gourd was selling, he could only be depressed in his heart, without showing any expression on his face.

He didn't say anything, and all the advisers and generals in Jiayue Province could only drink in silence, scolding the young master for not knowing what to do, and being a prodigal.

"Haha, a tiger father has no sons, Brother Li Gang, you have such a good son, Kong can't help being jealous, haha."

Kong Rong smiled happily. He suddenly remembered something and said, "If my uncle remembers correctly, my nephew should be 17 years old this year, and he hasn't married yet, right? Just right, just right, haha."

That expression, that meaning, clearly intended to form a daughter-in-law with Mrs. Li.

Li Gang smiled. He did have this plan. The two families would form a family with sons and daughters, and the offensive and defensive alliance would be stronger. It would be of great benefit to the two families.

Moreover, he is just such a precious son, so he has to quickly find some wives for him and give birth to a bunch of sons to make the Li family stronger, otherwise, he will have no face to meet the ancestors of all the motherlands under Jiuquan in the future.

All the counselors and generals nodded happily, this is a good idea.

Tian Ce, one of the counselors, glanced at Kong Rong, who was smiling so wide that he couldn't close his mouth. His eyes turned to Li Wei, who was very respectful and generous to his elders. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, showing a meaningful look smile.

Who said that the young master is just a big idiot with all kinds of poisons, who can only bring harm to the little lady of a good family?If the future father-in-law is cheated, and the father-in-law can happily help him count the money and give him a daughter as a gift, would such a person be a fool?

The celebration banquet lasted until midnight, and everyone was drunk before leaving. During the banquet, the two eunuchs, who were seven or eight times drunk, finalized the lifelong affairs of their children on the spot, and even chose the auspicious day for their marriage. , it was just a matter of letting the two juniors bridal chamber spend the night.

Back in the big tent in the army, the drunkenness on Li Gang's face disappeared, and his eyes fell on his precious son. All the advisers and generals also looked at Li Wei, waiting for his answer. The exclusive weapon for attacking the fortress was just sold, and who would change it? There are bumps.

Li Wei explained with a smile that although he "invented" the catapult, it is indeed an exclusive weapon at the moment, but after it is built in large numbers and equipped with the army, the secret of its construction will inevitably be leaked out. It is too easy to buy an ordinary soldier Now, instead of leaking the secret and getting nothing, it's better to take advantage of the rare goods available now, sell them at a good price, and earn a huge favor.

This explanation is very reasonable. Even if everyone wants to object, they can't find a reason to refute it. The catapult, such a powerful weapon, will soon spread across the continent. It's really no secret when the picture is obtained.

This money is really worthless, the young master has a good way of making money.

Li Gang laughed out loud. He laughed very happily. My precious son has really grown up. It seems that it is time for him to get in touch with some things. Of course, this will have to be arranged after going back to get married.

Back in Jiayue City, the provincial capital, Li Gang held a celebration banquet to reward his achievements.

After some excitement, those who should leave left, and those who were drunk were carried away by the guards. Those who stayed were all high-ranking advisers and senior generals. They were all Li Gang's confidantes.

There was silence in the lobby, all the civil servants and military generals gathered together, all stretching their necks desperately, looking at the paper rolls on the table, with strange expressions on their faces.

Although all the civil servants present did not dare to be called famous masters in terms of calligraphy attainments, they definitely had profound skills, could handle it, and were well-informed. This was the first time they had seen such thin and strange calligraphy.

The font is very thin, but each stroke is like a knife and an axe. It is vigorous and powerful, and it is like flowing clouds and flowing water. It can be described as silver hook iron painting, flamboyant and majestic. .

The civil servants all hissed and sucked in the air-conditioning. When did Jiayue Province produce a master calligrapher?

We must know that innovating a typeface does not know how much hard work and intelligence of the predecessors, and how many years of hard work can form a unique new typeface.

While they were amazed by this brand-new thin-body calligraphy, they were also amazed by the little dots in the article, which are like a painting, clear in concept and clear at a glance, which can be said to be wonderful and a great innovation.

What attracted them most was the manuscript titled "On the Pros and Cons of the Mansion Military System and the Recruitment System". I can't think of any good way, the Fubing system has been in use until now, and this article is like enlightenment, which makes people suddenly enlightened.

Everyone desperately opened their eyes wide, staring at the words on the scroll, reading down word by word, carefully and repeatedly deliberating the meaning between the lines.

In fact, although this manuscript is long, it uses the most straightforward words to explain and express its meaning. It's just that the brand-new content described in the article shocked them for a while.

The manuscript was written by Li Wei in a hurry, and he handed it over to Qing'er for Daddy Cheap.

Li Gang read the manuscript immediately, and was not only shocked by the thin characters drawn in silver and iron, but also attracted by the content inside, but the war broke out, and he didn't have time to read it carefully, and he didn't have time to call a group of confidants to discuss it until the war was over. , The class teacher took it out for them to see after returning home.

The recruiting system was written by Li Wei with reference to the military system of the Ming Dynasty in ancient China. Li Jun implemented the farming system, and the military and civilians were strictly separated. Ding chai, whose identity and economic status are different from those of civilian households, has a fixed commitment to military service, and is followed by his father after death.

Although Li Wei expounded and cited some examples to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the Fubing system and the recruiting system, there is still a lack of strong data to prove that the recruiting system is better than the Fubing system, but the meaning is expressed. As for whether it is actually implemented, it depends on the Papa Cheap made the final decision.

Everyone is bowing their heads in thought. The amount of information is too huge. They need time to digest and consider the pros and cons of comparing the two military systems. You must know that something that has been passed down for hundreds of years cannot be changed just by changing it.

The counselor Tian Ce cupped his hands suddenly and said, "Dare to ask my lord, this volume..."

Li Gang stroked his long beard under his chin, and a proud and happy smile appeared on his thin face, "This is made by my Qilin."

Tian Ce took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Young master, you are a dragon and a phoenix among people. Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord."

His reaction is faster than ordinary people, and he can feel all the benefits of the recruiting system just by looking at it once. It is much better than the current military system. Those who can come up with this method, even if they are not dragons and phoenixes, are still outstanding. Such evaluation is not an exaggeration.

Just by looking at the happy expression on the lord's face, he knew that the lord also liked this new law. The recruitment system would definitely be implemented in the near future, so the innovation must be implemented. He not only supported it, but also looked forward to it, and by the way, flattered the lord.

"The dog is naughty, I hope you will give me more guidance in the future."

Li Gang smiled happily. The performance of his precious son made him more and more confident. In the future, this family business will be handed over to his precious son. He also hopes that these confidantes can fully support his son and make the Li family prosperous.

Chapter 18 A date with a beautiful woman

While Li Gang was discussing Li Wei's recruiting system and the law of military settlements with a group of civil servants and generals, he returned to his own Xiaoyao Pavilion to enjoy Qing'er's meticulous service.

In the early morning, Li Wei was urged by Qing'er to get up for morning exercises, then take a shower and change clothes, after breakfast, he took Qing'er, Li Er and Li San out through the back door.

Following Dad Cheap for a trip, he found many problems that need to be corrected or innovated, and he needs to form a team by himself.

However, these things cannot be done in one go. Not only does it take time, but it also requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Today, he plans to go out of the city to find a good place.

After turning out of the back alley, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, with a shocked expression on his face.

At the corner of the back alley, a beautiful little lady with round eyes was waving at him with a mysterious expression on her face.

With a startled expression on his face, Li Wei pointed to his beautiful nose, did you call me?

The beautiful little lady with big eyes nodded vigorously, with a happy smile on her pink face. She stood here waiting for a long time in the early morning, and finally waited for someone to come out.

"Xiaosheng is polite here, I wonder what the little lady can teach me?"

Li Wei imitated the scholars of this era, clasped his fists and bowed in a dignified manner. Although he didn't know why this little lady whom he had never met came to him, courtesy was indispensable. Besides, he wanted to pretend to be a gentle and elegant gentleman, so he specially Wearing a scholar's outfit.

"Xiaoyu has met Mr. Xiaolang."

The big-eyed lady bowed down and gave blessings. She is Xiaoyu, the personal maid of Zhuang Xi, the young lady of the Zhuang family. I settled down in a hut, planning to wait until the limelight passed before going home.

Zhuang Xi's master and servant hid their heads and tails in a remote place in the city for a few days, waiting for her best friend to bring her good news after the Spring Garden Poetry Conference.

Li Wei went out with the army and didn't go to the poetry meeting, and many celebrities with outstanding literary talents had official positions, and some followed the expedition, even those who didn't go to the army were too busy to go to the poetry meeting, so that this The first issue of the Spring Garden Poetry Club is much inferior to previous years.

Miss Zhuang's heart has been taken by the mysterious great talent, she doesn't think about food and drink, Xiaoyu is eager to protect her lord, so she has to run outside the prefect's mansion to wait, she dare not guard the front door, the servants of the Zhuang family are looking for the little lady all over the street Whereabouts, can only guard in the secluded back alley.

She was lucky, and finally caught Li Wei who came out of the back door.

Although Li Wei is famous, most of the daughters of rich families stay in the boudoir, and it is rare to come out a few times a year. Therefore, Xiaoyu does not know the notorious Li Wei.揖 gave her a good impression of being gentle and suave, and she naturally classified him as a good person in her heart.

"It turned out to be Miss Yu, Xiaosheng's surname is Li Mingyu."

Li Wei cupped his arms and bowed again, declaring his temporary name, he was self-aware, his family's reputation was too prominent and frightening, if he said it, it would definitely scare Xiaoyu to faint on the spot.

"I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Li, Xiaoyu has something to ask."

Xiaoyu was only thinking about her little lady, how could she doubt the handsome, personable, and gentle Li Langjun.

She quickly explained why she came here. The great talent who wrote the famous novel "Spring Dawn" lives in the prefect's mansion. Do you know him?Li Wei was stunned for a long time before he realized that the girl who dared to love was looking for him, a handsome, unrestrained and suave "big talent,"

The beautiful handwriting on the big red invitation flashed in my mind, could Xiao Nizi be sent by Zhuang Xi? "Li Langjun..."

Seeing Li Langjun's strange expression, Xiaoyu couldn't help frowning.

Li Wei sighed, pointed to his nose, and said with an embarrassed expression: "The person Yu Niangzi is looking for... um... that... is just mere."

"what……"

This time it was Xiaoyu's turn to open her mouth, and the person she was trying to find was in front of her eyes. She was so surprised that she couldn't react for a while, and said, "You...you...really...yes..."

Although Li Wei was a little embarrassed, in front of the beautiful girl, he still decisively admitted that he was the original author of "Spring Dawn", and Meng Haoran was just a pen name he used to have.

Although Xiaoyu was a little dizzy with surprise, she was smart and not easy to be fooled. She carefully asked a few things. Li Wei answered fluently and told about the invitation, so that Xiaoyu believed that he was the literary talent her little lady was looking for. "Great talent."

"Li Langjun, please come with Xiaoyu."

Xiaoyu, who was so excited that her cheeks were flushed, led Li Wei through the deep alley, and finally found him, so of course she wanted to take him to see her little lady.

In an ordinary private house, Li Wei finally met the little lady Zhuang Xizhuang who was known as a talented girl and one of the founders of the Spring Garden Poetry Club.

"Xiaosheng Li Yu, I have met Mrs. Zhuang."

Zhuang Xi shyly returned the gift, and her clear phoenix eyes secretly looked at the handsome, gentle, and talented man in front of her, her smooth cheeks were full of embarrassment and excitement, could it be that the sky has eyes, Li Langjun and her imagination seem to be... Seems perfect.

After returning the gift, she suddenly didn't know what to say, she just felt her heart jumping around like a deer, her jade cheeks were burning like fire, and her two little hands were pulling the silk handkerchief nervously.

"Xiaosheng is going to find a small place outside the city to build a manor. I wonder if Mrs. Zhuang is interested in going there together?"

Li Wei coughed lightly, rubbed his hands and said, he didn't know what to talk about with the beautiful and charming little lady Zhuang for a while, although there was something wrong with it in a certain way, but he couldn't just talk about life ideals when they met for the first time ? "Um……"

Zhuang Xi lowered his head, his voice was as low as a mosquito, his cheeks felt hotter, his heart beat harder, and his palms were sweating from tension.

Li Wei couldn't help scratching his head, no way, he agreed so readily, and he wasn't afraid that brother was a bad person, so what did he give her?

Girls in ancient times seem to be easy to coax... With two more beautiful girls accompanying them, naturally they can't go out casually like now. Li San hurried back to the prefect's mansion, and soon brought two horses and carriages. Men and women are different. However, even if Zhuang Xi secretly agrees, she must ride alone to avoid suspicion.

Zhuang Xi was leaning on the brocade cushion, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly, her smooth and blushing cheeks were a little shy, a little excited and excited, and even a touch of indescribable anticipation and happiness.

Although Li Langjun is also surnamed Li and still lives in the prefect's mansion, he has not been connected with the notorious young master Li. The most likely thing is that he is a distant relative of Li prefect.

Xiaoyu sat at the side, but the expression on her pretty face was rather complicated. She was not only happy for her little lady to have a tryst with Li Langjun, but also worried about what would happen to them if the master knew about it.

She also had the same thought as Zhuang Xie, she didn't doubt Li Wei's identity, she only guessed that he was Li's distant relative, if Li Langjun can make good things happen with his little lady, that would be the perfect ending, It's just... Her eyes lit up, perhaps, Li Langjun can really help his little lady out of the current predicament, of course, the premise is that Li Langjun is also interested in his little lady.

Chapter 19 Ancient girls are so flirtatious

Li Mansion, inner house.

Su Yuejiao frowned, looking rather unhappy.

Just now, Zhuang Haoran, the owner of the dealer, came to make amends and told her that her daughter disappeared a few days ago.
