Li Mingda was lamenting that his little money was about to leave him.
The eldest grandson on the side noticed it, and pulled Li Mingda's fat face with a smile: "Okay, the queen mother has prepared gifts for you, but you have to prepare your own gifts."
call
That's it
it's simple
There are eighteen kinds of weapons, including knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, laos, swords, sticks, sticks, sticks, crutches, and meteor hammers.
But
Qin Qiong is not going to the battlefield now, even if he has recovered his health, it is his son Qin Huaidao's business, and the son will inherit his father's career and join the army.
What Qin Huaiyu?
fake brother
It does not exist in history
There is a kid named Qin Huaidao, what about Wang Baochai, all the mess is just folk tales.
Qin Huaidao was born in 625 AD. He is now 12 years old at the end of 637 AD. It is true that he is older than him, but we are smarter than him, and most importantly, we are skinnier than him.
Pi Yipi
wrong
It's because we have a higher IQ than him.
ha
Li Mingda had already prepared gifts for Qin Qiong's family, but this time he didn't need to move so many things. He only needed to take the main ones with him and put the rest back into the warehouse.
The housekeeper Wu Xu was so happy that the small money that was supposed to go out came back.
Li Mingda was on the carriage, looking at Wu Xu's calculating look, and suddenly felt that he had raised Wu Xu more and more sideways. The empress, who was good at first, made him a housekeeper.
And looking at this trend, Wu Xu is still enjoying it. Maybe it is really the intrigues in the palace that turned Wu Xu, who was originally innocent, kind and smart, into the cruel and scheming Wu Zhao.
The word "曌" is rumored to have been created by Wu Xu himself. "Zhao" was a word chosen by Zong Qinke a year before Wu Zetian became emperor. It means that the sun and the moon are rising in the sky and shining on the earth.
Li Mingda thought it was Wu Xu who was called Mingkong when she was a nun in the temple and was widowed by Lao Li.
I changed this name to commemorate my past.
We are not involved. Many of the allusions in history were passed down orally from various places. The final written down may not necessarily be true. Maybe some materials were added, but it just persuades people to do good.
He left from the door of his own house, led a large number of people, walked through the streets and alleys and arrived at the door of Qin Qiong's house with Ruhua Zhi.
The door of Qin Qiong's home was wide open, and the guards of the Duke's Palace were standing on both sides of the door.
When they saw Li Mingda and Li Zhi relying on each other, they naturally saluted.
Li Mingda and Li Zhi got off the carriage.
Anyway, the early Senniu Guards have arrived, and he and Ruhuaji just need to go down.
Qin Qiong, Qin Huaidao and Qin Qiong's wife Jia Shi were waiting at the door as they entered.
Li Mingda: "Master, Master, and Xiao Huai, be well"
Li Zhi: "Li Zhi pays homage to his master, his wife, and his senior brother."
As far as Li Zhi is concerned, Li Mingda is a bit more naughty, while Li Zhi is completely a good boy who follows the rules.
Qin Qiong: "Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the King of Jin is well"
Mrs. Jia and Qin Huaidao also saluted Li Mingda and Li Zhi: "Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the King of Jin is well."
Although Jia is already in her thirties, her appearance and skin are still well maintained, and she still looks like she is in her 20s.
He is not short in stature, and there are some calluses on his hands, probably from practicing martial arts all year round. Maybe this Jia family is the prototype of Zhang Ziyan.
Cough cough cough
Qin Qiong's health has improved a lot due to these years of treatment, but she still feels a little uncomfortable in the cold wind.
Li Mingda: "Master, if you don't feel well, just go inside. Don't bother with these red tapes and etiquette. It's meaningless."
Li Zhi echoed: "That's true. Master's health is important."
Qin Qiong was pleased: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."
Qin Qiong did not follow Li Mingda and Li Zhi to keep up appearances. Several people went into the house, Jia went to the backyard, and Qin Huaidao stayed with Qin Qiong.
Everyone came to the hall of Duke Yi of Qin Qiong's home.
Li Mingda looked around, and it seemed that most of the decorations were the same as when he first came here. Some of them were given to him by Lao Lixin.
Li Mingda glanced around and finished the polite conversation between master and disciple with Li Zhi and Qin Qiong.
Li Mingda asked Qin Qiong: "Master, the furnishings in your home are still like this. I remember that my family must have made some money following Tuyuhun's trade over the years."
In fact, it’s more than just a little
There should be tens of thousands of them.
Why is Qin Qiong living like this?
Qin Qiong explained to Li Mingda: "Your Highness, it's true that you have done some repairs, but there are a group of old brothers and their families who need help."
oh
Li Mingda understood that it was normal for arms and legs to be broken in ancient wars, especially for some of the generals' personal soldiers. If they were injured, they would naturally not be able to work. The pensions here were all one-time, and naturally there was no steady flow like in later generations. , the pension is not enough to support the families and soldiers for a lifetime.
Another point is that the personal guards are considered private soldiers and are not in the official combat order. Maybe you can take advantage of the convenience and give some armor pensions, but in the end you still have to do the bulk yourself.
Li Mingda rubbed his chin: "Master, if this continues, there will be a big hole that will never be filled."
Qin Qiong's face showed helplessness: "I know, but they risked their lives for me. As a human being, you must not forget your roots."
bang bang bang bang
He is indeed the righteous second brother Qin.
Hey hey hey
help you
Li Mingda: "Master, you have to know that teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching them how to fish. You have to tell them how to make money. Besides, after so many years, those people's children have almost grown up, so why not come to me?" Learn some skills in the mansion's workshop"
Qin Qiong's eyes lit up: "Is this really true?"
Qin Qiong knew who was the richest among the princes and princesses of the Tang Dynasty, and it was naturally Li Mingda. One person's assets were probably more than all the people put together.
This is also speculation from the outside. There was once a wealthy businessman from Shandong who spent ten thousand yuan to buy a set of Tiance armor from Li Mingda to get close to him. Qin Qiong's entire family's wealth was a bit staggering. In the end, it was because he could not meet the other party's requirements. Accept the reason for rejecting the other party.
Now that the big benefactor spoke in person, Qin Qiong was naturally delighted.
Li Mingda nodded: "Of course I am serious, but it is not an important place like my subordinate Tiancejia. After the New Year, there will be a new organization that needs to recruit people. Although the salary is not very high, it is quite hard. At least there is no need to have enough food." question"
"Sure, I'll contact them later and let them go after the New Year."
Qin Qiong was very happy. Her biggest worry seemed to be solved.
Li Zhi looked on, these two words made his master so happy.
Li Zhi was confused. Even though he was honest, he knew that some things should not be asked face to face. These were all the results of my mother's encouragement.
Li Mingda thought for a moment and pointed at Li Zhi and Qin Huaidao: "Brother, go and follow Huaidao for a walk in the courtyard."
Li Zhi originally wanted to say that it was cold outside, but when he saw Li Mingda clenching his fists and gesturing towards him, he decisively shrank his neck and left with Qin Huaidao.
Just kidding
If you don't leave, you'll be beaten.
Qin Qiong watched Li Mingda take away his son and Li Zhi and asked Li Mingda: "What's important for the princess?"
