Those who wholeheartedly serve the people are gods, not saints. Saints have to eat well before they can worry about the country and the people. As for Xiao Han, he is not a saint. He is naturally willing to contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, if Wouldn't it be even more wonderful if you could get some benefits for yourself...
Author's note: But you just said you despised it? !
Xiao Hanyu: Big difference, big difference! Intellectual property rights are rules that everyone must abide by. We cannot allow appropriation to become a common practice. If everyone wants to copy, then who is responsible for creating? Benefits must be given to creators in order to mobilize more and better creators! ! !
After a short break, Xiao Lizi and the others who came in a hurry left in a hurry. Xiao Han was drawing pictures on the ground with great interest at this time and had no time to care about the two of them.
The old blacksmith and others, including the master carpenter, no longer dared to look down upon the young man, and swarmed around to watch.
Xiao Han, who had just become an official a few days ago and received another reward, was in a bad mood. At this moment, he was lying on the ground drawing a cylindrical object, more than ten inches long, with a flat head, a slender body, and three deep concavities. The groove is embedded in it, like a unique weapon!
The old blacksmith touched his chin and observed it carefully before sighing: "Manager Xiao, are you going to make a weapon?"
Xiao Han squatted on the ground, first carefully finished drawing the handle, and then turned around and said: "Yes, master, take a look, how does this weapon look like?"
Having said that, he took a look at his work with great satisfaction. What he painted was clearly a woman who was almost deified by later generations. He has always been famous for his quick killing and convenient production!
However, the old blacksmith stared at the painting and frowned, as if he had a toothache. "Hiss... Manager Xiao can just call me Lao Zhao. I really don't dare to be a master! Well, this weapon looks good from the picture. It is cleverly avoided." The advantage of the hand knife is that it cannot cut flesh or rope. Well, it also avoids the advantage of the long knife, which cannot chop or cut... I wonder why Mr. Xiao wants such a long awl?"
"You!" Xiao Han almost fainted when the old blacksmith made such a comment. The murder weapon that frightened the enemies in later generations has turned into an awl here. Believe it or not, I can make a few of them and make a few holes in your body?
Seeing what Old Zhao said that made Mr. Xiao unable to get off the stage, the rich carpenter next to him hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Mr. Xiao, don't be angry, this old Mr. Zhao has such a bad mouth, don't be as knowledgeable as him, but Mr. Xiao has something to say." I don’t know, this battlefield is about one inch being long and one inch strong. Look at all the generals on horseback using horse spears. But those warriors, without horses, can’t hold the horse spear, so they still need spears and swords. With this thing in his sight, it was knocked down before he even got close, so it’s meaningless..."
Xiao Han, who was originally angry, calmed down after hearing the carpenter's explanation. He also thought clearly that not everything is suitable for this era. In this era that mainly relies on melee combat, a thick long knife is more reliable. , after thinking about it, he got up and erased the picture of the general's stab, and began to recall the famous broadsword shape of later generations and start a new drawing.
Xiao Han was busy designing weapons here, but Li Shimin, who had just left here, had already rushed to the palace with his whip raised. The newly struck horseshoe of the white-tied crow stepped on the stone ground, making a very clear clicking sound. The white-tied crow liked it very much. The sound of it running now, twisting its neck and chirping twice from time to time, seems to be laughing.
One man and one horse rode briskly through the palaces to Li Yuan's residence. As early as when Li Shimin was canonized as King of Qin, he was given the privilege of riding horses in the palace, but Li Shimin had never used it. This time, it was for Xiao Han's sake. Contributed the "first time"...
Stepping onto the steps, Li Shimin just pushed open the heavy door, and Li Yuan woke up from his sleep. From the time he raised troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, to now with troops on all sides, Li Yuan, who is over fifty this year, has not had a good night's sleep for a long time, even if he barely managed to sleep at night. When I fall asleep, I sleep very lightly. Often when I close my eyes, I see mountains of swords and seas of blood! But this time while reading the battle report from Shanxi, I fell asleep without realizing it...
"Oh, Shimin, is something wrong?"
Li Yuan, who was awakened, shook his hands and reached for the long sword at his waist. When he saw that it was his second son standing at the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his head and asked.
"Back to my father, the people of the world have come to see a happy event!"
"Oh? What a happy event? Tell me quickly!" Upon hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly became energetic and sat upright on the low desk.
"Father, please take a look!" Li Shimin said, presenting the long knife in his hand to the case.
Of course, only Li Shimin can do this. If Chai Shao dares to enter Li Yuan's palace with a knife like this, the master guards outside may not care whether he is Li Yuan's good son-in-law!
Speaking of Li Yuan, he has been very brave since he was a child. When he was young, he even left a good story about being selected. He is no stranger to weapons. He stretched out his hand and took the long knife. As soon as he took the knife, he felt it. There is something different about the knife, it seems to have a thicker and heavier blade than a regular knife!
Holding the knife in one hand, Li Yuan just sat and performed a knife dance. When his hand stopped, the tip of the knife trembled. He didn't expect such a heavy knife to have such toughness. It was really unexpected!
"Well, that's right. Although it's rough, the materials used are also of high quality!"
Li Yuan understood the knife well after just one try, and gave it a high evaluation!
"It's just, where is the joy?"
"It's not this thing that makes me happy, but the person who made it. Father knows that with such a good knife, a few people can make more than a hundred in a day!"
"What? More than a hundred? Are you serious?"
Li Yuan was still a little unhappy. It was just a weapon. What was there to be happy about? But when I heard that I could make a hundred handfuls in a day, I was shocked. I quickly stood up and walked back and forth on the ground while thinking. How can I see someone who is over fifty years old?
When it comes to what we are fighting for, it is strength!
And where does strength come from? Naturally, it comes from food, grass, military pay and equipment. Not to mention food and grass, Li Yuan also occupied the important town of Taiyuan for ten years before he dared to raise troops. Otherwise, just by grabbing the little food, his men would have starved to death!
On the other hand, this sophisticated equipment is even more important, because it will greatly stimulate the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and even deter the enemy!
If you don’t believe me, ask a group of people with wooden sticks to beat a group of people with machetes. I’m sure it will be miserable, how miserable...
After walking back and forth on the ground for several times, Li Yuan suddenly stood up, stared at Li Shimin, and asked, "Where is this person?"
"He is in the Erchen Army!"
"Okay, okay! If you get this one person, he is better than a thousand armies. Tomorrow, you will bring him to the court. As a father, you will not treat him badly!"
"yes!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed. He knew that only suitable treatment could retain the right talents. Otherwise, even if the talents didn't say it, they would still have some grudges in their hearts.
"Wait a minute..."
Li Shimin got the promise and was about to leave first, but unexpectedly Li Yuan called him from behind again.
"Well, don't favor one over the other. Tomorrow you will also bring the horse shoe and first aid method you mentioned two days ago. At this time, we should not be stingy with rewards for those who have made merit, so that we can win the hearts of the people! "
"Oh...but!"
"But what? People of the world, you must know that only by being kind to those in a superior position can you win the hearts of the people! This matter cannot be taken carelessly!"
"But, my father, these were all done by one person!"
"ah?!"
Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty finally froze, and the knife he still held in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sword cry!
What kind of freak is this? Medicine, investigation, smelting, how come you know everything? Could it be that this is a treasure specially sent by God in troubled times to conquer the world?
"Shimin, you go now and pay your respects to him! I'll be waiting for him here!!!"
A letter was sent to Jiuzhongtian, Xiao Han was anxious to see Li Yuan...
In the courtyard, Xiao Han was on the ground arguing with the old blacksmith and several other masters about which kind of knife was suitable for large-scale casting. Suddenly, a chamberlain came to announce that he had come to see the saint.
This was the first time Xiao Han had seen eunuchs, a product born of imperial power. The one who came to announce the decree was an old eunuch with white hair, but his skin was so delicate that Xiao Han thought he had met someone. When we arrived at Wei Zhongxian, we almost ran away immediately!
Fortunately, the old blacksmith and the others had some sense of control and hurriedly reported the crime to the surprised old eunuch. They caught Xiao Han and followed the old eunuch to the carriage without letting him change his clothes. Of course, this time he was sitting in the carriage. Covered...
The carriage was speeding on the stone road, the wooden and iron-clad wheels grinding against the stone, jingling and trembling fiercely! After just a while, Xiao Han felt that his saliva was dripping from his mouth. On the other hand, the coachman and the old eunuch were both calm and composed, which really impressed him... He must make a shock-absorbing carriage when he goes back. Running this kind of carriage on a stone road is simply a form of punishment!
On Zhuque Street, a carriage with a yellow flag was running wildly. Pedestrians along the way all moved to both sides to avoid it. After the carriage passed by, did they dare to curse a word or two in their hearts and rush to reincarnation? !
Xiao Han didn't know if they were rushing to be reincarnated, but he felt that he would really be reincarnated if he sat down again! Finally, when Xiao Han was almost vomiting, the carriage finally stopped. Xiao Han immediately climbed out of the carriage on his hands and feet, leaning against the carriage with his back and breathing heavily!
"Father, where are you?"
"Daxing Palace!"
"Daxing Palace?"
Xiao Han looked up and saw tall palaces standing in front of him. The foundations alone were several feet high! The glazed tiles facing the sun shine dazzlingly in the sunlight. The high wall next to them is more than three feet tall. There are large trees with unknown names planted next to the wall. The canopy of the trees is lush and green, but the cicadas in midsummer are a little annoying.
"Oh, it's Tai Chi Palace..."
Seeing this, Xiao Han suddenly realized that they had already entered the Xuanwu Gate, but Taiji Palace should still be called Daxing Palace now. He didn't know when the name would be changed. I always felt that Daxing Palace sounded weird!
