"Dad! Your legs are not good, how can you go so far?"
Yunshan Villa, the main hall of the Li family.
Han Yuxi couldn't help but say something when she heard that her father was determined to go to Hedong Road.
Han Lizheng said with a smile: "Yuxi, your father is not that delicate! Besides, I only went to Hedong Road to help Xiaoxuan manage the mine, not to fight. The old injuries on my legs and feet will not matter!"
Li Zexuan also wanted to give some more advice, but Han Lizheng said again: "In the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, the bones of countless soldiers were buried in the Hedong Road. After so many years, I can still see the former robes in my dreams. This time, I just happened to bring a few jugs of good wine to pay homage to our brothers!"
In the fifth year of Wude, Jieli Khan broke the peace treaty with the Tang Dynasty and sent tens of thousands of troops, together with the exiled Liu Heita, to attack the new city on the Hedong Road of the Tang Empire. Li Yuan sent three armies to attack, and Prince Li Jiancheng went to Bin On the state road, Qin King Li Shimin went out of Qinzhou Road to fight against two Turkic armies. In addition, Guo Zihe, the general manager of Yunzhou, was dispatched to Yunzhong to cover the army of Jieli Khan; Duan Decao, the general of Zuowuwei, rushed to Xiazhou to cut off the Turks' retreat.
At that time, Qin Qiong was Li Shimin's general, so he naturally went on the expedition together, and Han Tianhu, as Qin Qiong's personal guard, naturally had to always be by his side. It was also in that battle that Han Tianhu was shot through the thigh by an enemy arrow in order to save Qin Qiong, and became completely crippled!
Even so, he was lucky, because in that battle, Datang lost thousands of soldiers, and he was lucky enough to be able to save his life in the end!
In ancient times, after the war, it was impossible and unrealistic to transport all the remains of the fallen soldiers back. Under normal circumstances, the soldiers who died in battle would be buried collectively nearby, and only the remains of senior officials and generals would be transported back to the court. Therefore, the soldiers who died in the battle were buried at the junction of Hedong Road and Turk.
Li Zexuan listened silently and finally stopped trying to dissuade him. In addition to family affection, friendship, and love, there is also a more pure and passionate affection in this world, which is comradeship! People who have been on the battlefield together are really closer than real brothers, and they can truly trust each other's backs without any scruples!
After a pause, Li Zexuan looked at Han Yuxi and saw that although the latter's face showed reluctance, it was more of understanding and relief. He turned to Han Lizheng and said, "Father-in-law, let's go! Over there at the mine." , I will instruct Ni Taifeng and the others to follow your orders. If anything happens over there, you can always contact Fu Bin. That guy is quite familiar with the local government in Lanzhou!"
Hearing this, Han Lizheng's eyes showed a trace of expectation and excitement. He nodded and said, "Yeah! Don't worry! I haven't seen anything in my life? It's just a trip, it's not a big deal!"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and suddenly said: "Father-in-law, after you went to Hedong Road, remember to tell Ni Taifeng and the others not to treat the miners harshly. They are all people who work in the fields, so it is not easy!"
This sentence made Han Lizheng a little confused, but in the end he nodded and said: "This is natural!"
In fact, he didn't know Li Zexuan's painstaking efforts. Since ancient China's mineral resources became more widely used and mining technology became more and more mature, more and more mine owners have tried their best to recruit people for mining, but most of them like to deduct money. The miners' wages and food, and the miners' strength were also over-squeezed, which led to many miner uprisings in the mines during the Ming Dynasty.
Li Zexuan's explanation is also to nip problems in the bud!
Han Yuxi interrupted at this time: "Dad! Then you must come back before the New Year! My daughter, Tiedan and mother are all waiting for you to come back for the New Year!"
Hearing Han Yuxi mention his late wife, Han Lizheng's eyes immediately flashed with tenderness. He nodded solemnly and said decisively: "Okay! Dad will come back before the end of the year!"
After that, he stood up and said: "Xiao Xuan, you and Manager Fu are chatting for a while. I will go back and pack up now. I will set off with Fu Bin and the others tomorrow!"
Obviously, he also saw that Li Zexuan and Uncle Fu had important things to discuss.
"Here! Why don't you, father-in-law, stay and have lunch together?"
Li Zexuan persuaded him to stay.
Han Yuxi also looked over eagerly.
Han Lizheng said: "Haha! No! No! I have to go to Chang'an to buy some things for you to eat!"
After saying this, he looked at Li Zexuan, paused, and sighed inexplicably: "Xiaoxuan! Yu Xi marrying you is this child's blessing. I will never tell you to treat her well, because I understand You are a kind-hearted person, even if I don’t say it, you will be kind to her! This child is more blessed than her mother back then! Haha!”
With a sigh, Han Lizheng waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the door. His back looked quite desolate!
"Ms. sir..."
Han Yuxi felt inexplicably sad in her heart. She looked at Li Zexuan with tears in her eyes, but she hesitated to speak.
"It's okay! My father-in-law must be missing my mother-in-law!"
Li Zexuanfu stroked Han Yuxi's long, silky hair and comforted her.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that this young couple actually ignored him, an old man, Uncle Fu coughed quickly, otherwise he would not know what outrageous things these two people in front of him would do!
"Master! Regarding the ironworks, do you have any ideas?"
Uncle Fu saw that the couple finally noticed him and asked quickly.
Li Zexuan came to his senses, took a stack of drawings from Han Yuxi, handed them to Uncle Fu and said, "I have an idea! No, Uncle Fu, please take a look at it!"
A thick stack of drawings suddenly fell on his hand. Uncle Fu couldn't help being surprised, "So many? Master, did you start preparing for steelmaking a few months ago?"
In his words, there was some admiration for Li Zexuan's foresight. To be honest, he did know that Li Zexuan could draw drawings quickly, but he never expected that Li Zexuan could draw so fast! There are at least two to three hundred drawings in his hand! !
"Did he start preparing a few months ago? He only started painting two or three days ago, and he didn't sleep well for two nights in a row!"
When Han Yuxi heard what Uncle Fu said, she couldn't help but feel angry.
Normally, when Li Zexuan was talking about business with others, she rarely interrupted. This time she was really a little angry when she saw that Li Zexuan didn't care about her body so much!
"What? Two...two or three days?"
Uncle Fu was really startled, and he almost dropped the drawing in his hand to the ground. Fortunately, he didn't have a heart disease or anything, otherwise he might have fainted by now! Even so, he was frightened enough that he could draw two to three hundred such high-quality drawings in two or three days. Uncle Fu couldn't help but thought to himself: Could it be that his young master is a monster with eight arms?
