Chapter 124 The Secret of Li Xiuning's Victory Over the Three Armies

Chapter 124: Li Xiuning’s secret to exercising the three armies

What Li Xiuning didn't want to see the most was that the brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin turned against each other, but she also understood that there were some things she could not change.

He knew that he could do it but did it. For example, now, Li Xiuning decided to talk to Li Jiancheng in person and pierce the window paper, so that no one could break the bottom line.

If Li Xiuning had not died in history, perhaps the tragedy of Xuanmen Wu would not have been discovered. Li Shimin brought a bad head to his descendants, so he was always full of bloody storms as Emperor Tang.

After Li Xiuning couldn't see it, she saw it in front of her.

She would never allow such things as war and fraternity.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiuning carried Chen Qian in a carriage and left Qinglin in Chang'an.

Chenjiabao is not big, it is just a reduced-formed county town. However, the Qinglin is very large, with tens of thousands of acres of land. Since Chen Ying established steel workshops, carriage workshops, weapons workshops, etc., this place has become a new home for craftsmen. After these craftsmen made money, they naturally needed to consume, so densely packed garment shops, wine shops, restaurants and various living and consumption places have been established here one after another. Of course, the first people to move here were the people recruited by Chen Ying, as well as the craftsmen recruited in Shuozhou and their families.

A dense shack was built around Chenjiabao. These shacks became the homes of craftsmen. However, as the craftsmen made money, these shacks around Chenjiabao were demolished by the craftsmen and built large blue brick tiles.

However, after Chen Ying handed over the steel workshop, Jiafang, crossbow workshop and weapon workshop to Li Yuan’s official camp, not only did it not weaken, but it became more prosperous.

Because of the loss of these steel workshops, Chen Ying obtained more production in private fields, such as roller bearings. The sleeves on various vehicles were too easy to use, not only weakening the resistance, but also durable. If the original two-wheeled cart was driven for a long distance, it not only had at least two or more wheels, but also needed to carry spare axles, because the resistance of the sleeves was too great and it was very easy to damage.

However, although roller bearings are not as efficient as ball bearings in later generations, they are far superior to shaft sleeve bearings. Although a set of roller bearings are priced at as high as three chunks, more than 10,000 sets are produced per month, and there is still a shortage of supply.

In addition to bearings, Chen Ying also used the relocated steel workshop and the old site of the weapon workshop to transform it into a farm tool production workshop. Among them, it was improved iron plough, six-eyed plough, and swaddle for cutting wheat (an ancient large-scale wheat-cutting artifact, which is still used in some remote mountainous areas, eight times the efficiency of harvesting wheat by traditional sickle). Chen Ying adopted the two-sided iron plough of later generations. If this new iron plough is used, one person can reclaim ten acres of fields per day, while a six-eyed plough can sow more than 30 acres of wheat per day. With swaddle, one man can harvest more than eight acres of wheat per day.

In this way, although the Tang Dynasty's agriculture was still mainly animal power, it entered the semi-mechanized era. According to the original plow of the Tang Dynasty, a family of five people and two laborers (one man and one woman) could cultivate up to 200 acres of land in a year.

However, in this era, due to the put into use of new agricultural tools, the same family of five can cultivate more than 500 acres of land.

Chen Ying came to the Tang Dynasty and not only helped the Tang Dynasty win a few battles. In fact, there was no Chen Ying there. The Tang Dynasty would also defeat the Eastern Turks, destroy the Eastern Turks, and then destroy the Western Turks, then punch Jiannan, kick Goguryeo, and defeat the four barbarians to surrender.

The most unexpected change that Chen Ying brought to the Tang Dynasty was the use of axles. With the use of axles, high-carbon steel is no longer the only variety of steel, such as high-manganese steel, chromium steel (resistant to oxidation, but not the traditional non-embellished steel or black steel in later generations), and copper steel and other alloy steels began to appear.

The second is the use of new farm tools, which improves farming efficiency and shortens the farming time. At least the people around Chang'an found that using new farm tools can save effort and time. In their spare time, they can go to workshops, work apart, or do some small work to earn money to subsidize their family income.

The efficiency is high, and there is no money to use the land to borrow money from the Datang Tongli Money House, so the only one of these agricultural tools has caused Qinglin to expand three times in a row, and the number of craftsmen raised has also increased. However, Chen Ying did not make huge profits in these agricultural tools. After a whole set, Chen Ying only made a little profit in addition to the taxes he should pay.

Of course, there is another change that is more subconscious. The use of down has made the people realize that breeding poultry can benefit. With the growing number of ducks and geese, the meat on the dining table has begun to increase. From the rare ate of meat once a year, now it is gradually increasing.

The most incredible thing is that the breeding industry in the Tang Dynasty has entered a deformed development. Ducks’ hair is expensive and meat is cheap, so the people can remove the hair and leave the ducks to eat meat.

The intake of meat has greatly reduced the consumption of food for the people. People who can only eat three bowls of rice will be full, but now they have more oil and water, and even a bowl of rice is full of their eyes.

Of course, this is a virtuous cycle. The physical fitness of the Han people is relatively poor, not as strong as that of the Hu people. However, this is mainly due to eating habits. Gradually, the Tang people gradually disappeared from their faces and became healthier.

The real huge profits still depend on the money shop and carriage workshop.

Due to the sudden fall of blizzards, there were almost no collapsed houses in the residential area of ​​more than 7,000 acres in Qinglin, and people busy cleaning up the snow everywhere.

Before the carriage left the Qinglin area, Li Xiuning discovered something was wrong. Countless people, with their families, came in a flood of snow.

Li Xiuning looked at He Yue'er opposite and said, "What's wrong with these people?"

He Yue'er sighed and said, "What else can happen? You've been hit by a disaster! However, Your Highness, don't worry, Your Majesty has issued an order to order Your Highness to preside over the disaster relief!"

Hearing this, Li Xiuning's heart skipped a beat.

It's just a matter of trouble.

Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng to preside over the relief of the disaster victims. Li Jiancheng would be in a very difficult situation. Once he did well, he would be praised by the people.

A prince who is both virtuous, loved by the people, and supported by all officials will definitely be afraid of the emperor.

If Li Yuan is afraid of Li Jiancheng, there will definitely be people who want to frame Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng will be very passive.

Li Xiuning thought about it and originally wanted to go to Chang'an to discuss with Li Jiancheng, but it seemed that there was no need.

Because the hidden arrow targeting Li Jiancheng is already waiting.

Li Xiuning looked at He Yue'er and said, "Go and call Ma Sanbao and Ma Zhou! Let's go back!"

"What's wrong?" He Yue'er asked in confusion: "The princess won't go to Chang'an City anymore?"

Li Xiuning smiled softly and said, "No need to go, it's meaningless to go to Chang'an City now!"

Li Xiuning knew Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng was a generous person. He would definitely not watch the people suffer. The key is that Chang'an now has food and materials, and Li Jiancheng also has the ability to complete this disaster relief, but this disaster relief itself is not beneficial to Li Jiancheng.

Pei Ji can do it, but Chen Shuda, or Yu Wen Shi, or even Li Shentong, but Li Jiancheng cannot be.

Li Jiancheng is the best time to do more and make mistakes when he doesn't do anything.

But Li Xiuning is different. She is just a princess of Li Tang.

No princess has become the queen in all dynasties. So no matter how high her reputation is, it has no influence on Li Yuan.

Li Xiuning will return to Chenjiabao.

It didn't take long, about half an hour later, he received a call from He Yue'er. Ma Zhou, Ma Sanbao and Xu Jingzong came together.

Now, Xu Jingzong, Ma Zhou, and Ma Sanbao are responsible for the three aspects of Chen Ying. Ma Sanbao is responsible for the storage of grain and various materials, and is equivalent to the general manager of the warehouse. Ma Zhou is only responsible for the money shop, while Xu Jingzong is responsible for the management and operation of all workshops under Chen Ying's name.

When the three of them arrived at the Chenjiabao conference hall, Li Xiuning asked straight to the point: "Mr. Ma, how much funds can our money house use?"

Ma Zhou said almost without thinking: "It depends on how long it takes for His Royal Highness the Princess to use. If it is needed within one day, the total bank account of Chang'an City can take out about 120,000 guan. If it is available in a month, you can take out at least 250,000 guan!"

Li Xiuning asked: "What I mean is that it will not affect the normal operation of Tongli Money House!"

Ma Zhou nodded and said, "The disciple knows!"

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "Take out 100,000 yuan first!"

Ma Zhou did not continue to ask why, but smiled faintly: "Okay, you can spend anytime!"

Li Xiuning turned to Ma Sanbao and said, "How many cold-resistant clothes are there in our mansion?"

Ma Sanbao thought for a while and said, "Three thousand down beds, and about five thousand sets of down jackets!"

Li Xiuning shook her head and said, "No, there are too few!"

For Chen Ying's family, these inventory is actually quite large, and there are a lot of them. But for helping the people, this is simply a drop in the bucket.

Li Xiuning calculated silently in her heart, and she thought for a while and said, "How much food is there?"

When talking about grain, Ma Sanbao smiled and said, "Your Highness, our mansion has a lot of food. There is also tens of thousands of stones of grain stored there, and it has hardly moved. The price of grain has increased by 10% in the past three days. We can't finish the food in our mansion. Do you have to take part of it?"

Li Xiuning said: "No, buy some more grain and buy 30,000 to 50,000 shi of grain. We need to clean up the snow and provide relief to the victims!"

Snow disasters are not like floods. After floods, everything is simple. However, the most troublesome thing about snow disasters is the cold and the way out.

If not in time, the death toll will increase significantly.

Listening to Li Xiuning's request for relief to the victims, Ma Zhou stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it is the responsibility of the court to provide relief to the victims. If the court needs every household to donate money and materials, our Hou Mo Chen family will not be left behind!"

Li Xiuning smiled coldly and looked at Ma Zhou and said, "I support the three armies, and no one dares to refuse to obey the orders. Mr. Ma, do you know how this palace is a woman who is a woman, can conquer the three armies?"

Ma Zhou was stunned. He didn't know why Li Xiuning spoke so leaps.

Li Xiuning said lightly: "Actually, just one move, kill!"

Then, Li Xiuning's voice became louder and louder.

"Those who do not accept it"

"Those who are in vain are beheaded!"

"The retreater kills"

"The lazy army will be killed!"

...

As a woman in charge of the army, Li Xiuning was the second person in history. The first person was Fu Hao, and of course, as the princess, she was the best-deserved first person. At this moment, Li Xiuning was no longer the gentle Mrs. Chen, but the decisive lady Li San!

Ma Zhou was immediately frightened: "The disciples knew that they were guilty!"
