After the Xuanwumen Incident, the Turks who learned the news immediately sent troops southward, attempting to take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty to destroy their country.
Li Er had no choice but to negotiate peace with the Turkic army that had already approached outside Chang'an City. Both sides swore an oath by killing white horses and signed the Weishui River Alliance.
The Weishui Alliance was an alliance under the city. In order to get the Turks to retreat, Li Er had to pay a large amount of gold, silver and silk, and also allowed the Turks to plunder many people on the border.
For Li Er, who was victorious in every battle, this alliance under the city was regarded as an unforgettable shame and humiliation.
In particular, the opposition forces always used this incident as an excuse, which made Li Er even more angry. He thought about catching Jie Li day and night and humiliating him in every possible way.
After several years of recuperation, the chaos caused by the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the Tang Dynasty was gradually settled. Li Er, who had also accumulated some strength, was about to take revenge.
"These are for the soldiers who went to conquer the Turks."
In Lijiazhuang, Li Yunze gestured to the wine jars that filled the entire warehouse in front of him, motioned to Fang Xuanling and said, "The soldiers who went to war for the country are all real heroes. These are all given away for free."
Fang Xuanling, who was cheerful, stroked his beard and smiled, "Li Langjun is grand, and having so much fine wine will surely inspire the soldiers..."
"etc."
Li Yunze quickly stopped him and said, "This is not wine."
After taking a strong sniff of the strong aroma of wine, Fang Xuanling was puzzled and said, "I'm sorry for being stupid, but what is this if it's not wine?"
"It's alcohol." Li Yunze explained seriously, "It's of high purity."
Fang Xuanling'(°ー°〃)'
I'm really stupid now, what does this mean?
"This thing is not for drinking, but for treating wounds." Li Yunze explained kindly, "You and I both know that not many people died on the battlefield. The place where the most people died was in the wounded barracks. Those Most of the wounded soldiers died from sores, that is, wounds
Mouth infection. "
Fang Xuanling was not familiar with wound infections, but he knew about sores. "You mean, if you use this alcohol, you won't get sores?"
“I don’t dare to speak too loudly, but I can only say that it has very good effects.”
He took out a document about how to deal with wound infection and put it into Fang Xuanling's hands, then took him to the warehouse next door, pointing to the many gauze inside, "Using these gauze together can reduce the mortality of wounded soldiers." .”
"This is?" Fang Xuanling stepped forward to inspect "Silk cloth?"
"It's cotton."
Li Yunze picked up a paragraph and said, "It is made of cotton. There is no cotton in the Tang Dynasty. I paid for this out of my own pocket."
"Cotton?" Fang Xuanling quickly grasped the key point.
Before he could make a request, Li Yunze had already taken him to another warehouse. "Here is dried meat."
Each box contains marinated beef, the kind that can be stored for a long time.
"This is cheese." Li Yunze picked up a tin bucket and handed it to Fang Xuanling. "This is cheese. Together with the dried meat, it is dry food for the sergeants."
Looking at the beef and cheese that looked like bricks in front of him, Fang Xuanling repeatedly praised, "My soldiers of the Tang Dynasty used to go on expeditions and just eat some dry food. Li Langjun's kindness will be unforgettable by everyone in the Tang Dynasty."
"You don't have to be polite to me." Li Yunze's smile deepened, "You have to pay for these."
After leaving the warehouse area, there is a pasture not far away. In the pasture surrounded by wooden fences, hundreds of horses are ready.
"I know the reputation of the Tang Dynasty's cavalry." Li Yunze gestured to the many Don horses in the fence. "These are gifts. They are a thank-you gift for His Majesty to grant me land to open a shop in the East City and West City."
Mentioning this, Fang Xuanling's eyes twitched involuntarily.
It's better to say that the land in the East Market that Li Yunze asked for was not large, that is, the area of an ordinary shop.
But the West City side is too exaggerated, it is nearly 20 acres of land!
The entire West Market is only so big, and such a large area of the bustling West Market has been taken away. This is really...
Looking at Fang Xuanling's dissatisfied expression, Li Yunze smiled slightly, "Fanggong, I gave you something."
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling became even more dissatisfied.
Li Yunze indeed paid for these two pieces of land, including thousands of four-wheeled carts, tens of thousands of pairs of rubber shoes, tens of thousands of raincoats, etc., and the things he is receiving now are all military supplies.
As the prime minister, he could only be responsible for civil affairs because the emperor could not interfere in military matters because of the powerful Ma Ma.
But what Li Yunze gave was of no use to civil affairs.
This is called doing whatever you sit in.
Fang Xuanling, who was in charge of civil affairs, was dissatisfied because he failed to get corresponding rewards for the land he sold, but Li Jing, the minister of the Ministry of War and the general manager of the march, praised Li Yunze repeatedly and wrote to him several times to express his gratitude.
Li Yunze was too lazy to continue the introduction and directly stated, "Everything is ready. Let's send someone to take it away."
Fang Xuanling sighed, delivering logistics to the army was not an easy job.
If you get it done well, you won't get much credit, but if you get it wrong, you will be blamed. It's really depressing.
In addition to those seen before, there are also mountains of alfalfa, which are already packed and bundled waiting for transportation.
In addition, there are soybean oil and rapeseed oil contained in large wooden barrels. The huge amount makes people feel unbelievable. After all, no one expected that such a large amount of oil can be produced.
The oil in Datang is mainly animal oil, while the mainstream vegetable oil is mainly flax, that is, sesame oil.
Of course sesame oil is a good thing, but the problem is that the yield of sesame seeds is not much, and the method of pressing to extract oil is simple and primitive, and the efficiency is low, resulting in low yield.
But things are different here with Li Yunze.
Lijiazhuang not only planted a large area of soybeans and rapeseed flowers, but also rented a large amount of land from nobles and even Huangzhuang for planting.
Coupled with advanced pressing equipment, the oil yield rate is high, and the vegetable oil obtained is far beyond imagination.
Not only is oil produced, but the remaining bean dregs after multiple rounds of soybean crushing are made into bean cakes, which are excellent feed for livestock.
The oil yield rate of rape flowers is also very high, and the residue after the oil is produced is also useful.
Rapeseed residue is a high-quality feed raw material that contains high protein, cellulose, minerals and other nutrients. When combined with bean residue, it is the best feed.
And it contains higher organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements. It can increase soil nutrient content, improve soil structure, enhance soil water retention function, and become a good organic fertilizer after decomposition.
From ancient times to the present, land has been the most important means of production. This is true.
The massive amount of materials obtained by growing crops is stronger than anything else.
Fang Xuanling organized corvee labor and used a large number of manpower and carts to send massive supplies to the northern front.
The transportation environment in Datang is not very good, but the transportation system near Chang'an City is very good.
In addition to the road constructed by Li Yunze using cinders and slag plus soil and cement, the most important thing is that the Qinzhi Road built by the First Emperor can still be used.
The First Emperor also liked big projects, even more so than Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
Moreover, the projects he does are not only large, but more importantly, they have quality assurance.
After all, during the Qin Dynasty, no one dared to carry out shoddy projects under the nose of the First Emperor. It would really cost them their heads.
Qinzhidao is almost nine hundred years old now, and it is still the best main road in the entire Guanzhong region, and even in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Historically, it was even able to be used all the time, and it was still in use until the Tartars entered the customs.
It can be said that all dynasties have been favored by the First Emperor.
Of course, the same is true for the Grand Canal dug by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
There was an endless stream of civilian convoys heading north from Chang'an City, and the attention of the nobles and common people from both the government and the public was focused on the upcoming war.
At this time, Li Yunze's shops and shopping malls in East City and West City opened for business calmly.
Li Yunze has no interest in fighting. He has fought too many battles in the parallel world before and has already reached the point of numbness.
This time I came to change my life, and I had no intention of getting involved.
The wars fought by the Tang Dynasty were naturally the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty themselves. At most, they could provide some material and technical support.
The shop Li Yunze opened in Dongshi had always been surrounded by large curtains. On the opening day, he posted hero posts and invited many honorable guests as guests.
Regarding the matters between Li Yunze and Lijiazhuang, the people in Guanzhong may not know much about it, but the honorable nobles know it clearly. After all, the sources of information are different.
They knew that Li Yunze was a strange man with great supernatural powers, and the materials and technologies he brought out shocked them.
Therefore, when faced with Li Yunze's invitation, basically everyone who was in Chang'an City came.
On this day, there were so many cars and horses in the East City, and the roads here were almost crowded with many nobles.
As the curtains of the shops in Dongshi were torn down, the nobles who had been chatting were all dumbfounded, and some even exclaimed.
The reason is very simple. On one side of the street facing this mysterious shop, there is actually a huge glass mirror!
Liuli is not unusual, basically everyone has seen it before.
But such a large piece of glass is amazing.
Li Yunze walked out of the store door and handed over to everyone around him, "The store is open for business today. It's really a great time for all of you to come here..."
After a sterile opening speech, Li Yunze motioned for everyone to visit the store.
Walking into the store, the interior layout is completely different from traditional stores. The most obvious thing is that you can see large pieces of colored glaze everywhere, and there are even multiple pieces of colored glaze gathered together to wrap the goods inside.
"You are all wealthy people, so the shop sells expensive items."
Li Yunze walked to a kerosene lamp and said, "Although it is more expensive, it is definitely worth the money."
"This is a kerosene lamp, windproof. Compared with traditional torches, braziers, lanterns, candles, etc., its brightness is definitely at a hanging level." He signaled to lower the surrounding curtains to block the light outside and lit the kerosene lamp.
The soft and bright light is emitted through the clean glass, and its brightness is amazing.
"Li Langjun." Cheng Yaojin was the first to jump out and shout, "This lamp is indeed good, but I want the large glass mirror in your shop even more."
"That's not colored glaze, that's called glass."
Li Yunze said with a smile, "If you want glass, no problem. I have many glass products here."
After opening the curtain again, Li Yunze asked the waiter to bring out a two-meter-high full-length mirror.
Cheng Yaojin was the first to jump out. Standing in front of the mirror, he could see every detail of himself inside, even the frown on his face could be seen clearly.
Needless to say, this is definitely a big treasure.
"This is a full-length mirror. It's very suitable for gesturing in front of the mirror when getting dressed." Li Yunze clapped his hands and introduced, "I think all the ladies at home will like it very much."
"No one is allowed to rob me." Cheng Yaojin, whose eyes were shining, immediately shielded his full-length mirror and stared at everyone, "I want this!"
The nobles immediately scolded each other. Everyone wants such a good thing.
The shop suddenly became noisy, with all kinds of yelling and yelling, and even started to move quickly towards violence.
Everyone thinks it is a treasure and everyone wants it.
When the commotion was getting louder, a scolding sounded at the door of the store, "Shut up, no matter how noisy you are!"
Li Er is the only one in Chang'an City who dares to silence many nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that the emperor was actually here, everyone stopped talking.
Li Er stepped in front of the fitting mirror, pushed Cheng Yaojin away and looked carefully.
After a moment, he nodded with satisfaction, "I want this."
