Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 179 Negotiated
King Qin is indeed a person who is used to leading troops to fight.Regardless of what the prince and the sage thought, Xue Lang asked his own question: "The bed crossbow and the divine arm bow are sharp weapons against the Turkic cavalry, but the disadvantage of these two is that they are not easy to transport. When the Turks invaded, the king of Qin must fight against them." Hurry up, take the bed crossbow and god arm bow, can you march?"

King Qin said: "It's okay, there is a solution to this matter."

"What method?"

This sentence was asked by the sage Li Yuan.Qin Wangdao: "Sage, this method needs to thank sister and Duke Xue."

Xue Lang looked at King Qin with a look of "it's none of my business".King Qin smiled and said: "When Duke Xue promoted the Yiren plow, in order to catch up with the work, he had people implement a method called "assembly line production method". This method inspired my sister to produce bed crossbows and god arm bows. Along the way, let me suggest that after the craftsmen trial-produce the most powerful size, they will all be produced according to the same size and process. The joints will no longer be fixed with nails, but with the nuts that Xue Jungong said. Both production and assembly It is a good way to have a special person, disassemble and transport when transporting, and reassemble when using, which is convenient and quick.”

Unexpectedly, there is such a reason, but Xue Lang is embarrassed to take the credit. This is purely the crystallization of Pingyang Gongzhi's wisdom, and basically has nothing to do with him.He didn't even think of a modern traveler, but Princess Pingyang actually thought of it... This is a gap in wisdom!
I feel that I need to be more modest and prudent in the future, and don’t feel any sense of superiority. Smart people will succeed regardless of ancient or modern times, and stupid people will still be stupid regardless of whether they have time-traveled or not.The essence will not change because of time travel.The only advantage of a traverser is his extensive knowledge. In other respects, he really has nothing to be proud of.

Seeing this, Li Yuan accepted King Qin's advice, and announced in court: "In this way, the heavy responsibility of confronting the Turks head-on will be entrusted to King Qin, and now King Qin is appointed as the commander of the march against Jieli."

Prince Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "Saint, I invite you to lead an army to help the people of the world fight against the Turks."

King Qi quickly said: "Sages, ministers are the same."

The sage sits on the throne and examines the two self-recommended people. The ministers are silent, and no one has a word of advice.King Qin also waited silently, waiting for the arrangement of the saint.For a moment, the huge Xuanzheng Hall was silent.

"Lead the Prince to lead the troops out of Youzhou Road to assist the King of Qin to fight against the Turks. He also ordered Duan Decao to lead the troops to Xiazhou, and ordered Li Yuhe, the governor of Yunzhou, to rush to Yunzhong. He must cut off the back of the Turks and assist the King of Qin in the battle against Jieli."

The ministers responded suddenly: "Here!"

The sage said in a deep voice: "Masters of the world, to meet the battle of Jieli, we must show our prestige and momentum of the Tang Dynasty. I am in Chang'an, and I need soldiers for soldiers, and food for food. Winning is not allowed to lose!"

King Qin: "Here!"

The saint said again: "Zheng Yuanshou!"

"Wei Chen is here."

"I authorize you to go out together with the King of Qin and observe the battle situation nearby. After the King of Qin wins a big victory, you will choose an opportunity to send an envoy to negotiate peace with Jieli with the prestige of victory."

"Here!"

Zheng Yuanshou took the order.

The king of Qi looked aside and seemed to have nothing to do with him, so he couldn't help becoming impatient, and hurriedly asked: "Saint, where is my son? My son has not been dispatched yet."

Li Yuan reprimanded directly: "If you are so impatient, why do things happen? Be careful and don't be impatient, I have my own arrangements."

King Qi was scolded, and immediately dared not speak, and retreated silently.

Li Yuan got up from the throne, walked to the edge of the map, turned around, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Heita has been back for a month, and he is coming fiercely, and his momentum is getting stronger every day. You can't let him do this anymore. When conquering Liu Heita, the three provinces and six ministries must prepare for the conquest in advance, and prepare food, grass and supplies first."

"Here!"

All of a sudden, one by one edicts were distributed in an orderly and unhurried manner, and the court officials immediately became busy.Xue Lang applauds the demeanor of the saint secretly. Beneath the appearance of the amiable old man who occasionally shows indecision and hesitation, this is the demeanor of the founding emperor Tang Gaozu. stand up.

Qin Wang and Erfengjun had meritorious service in the Tang Dynasty, but the credit of Emperor Gaozu should not be discredited.The founding king of a country, how could he be a fool!
The court meeting lasted from after the court meal to the evening of the court. Those who had received errands went to work on their own errands. Xue Lang, a idler, naturally had nothing to do after the court meeting was over.

"Mr. Xue, please stay!"

Just as Xue Lang was about to leave the Xuanzheng Hall, he was stopped by someone.Looking back, it was King Qi.Qi Wangning looked at Xue Lang with a rather displeased expression on his face. If he wasn't taller than Xue Lang, he might have looked down to show his aloofness.

Xue Lang's face was full of seriousness: "I don't know if the king of Qi summoned the humble minister, what orders do you have?"

The King of Qi looked at Xue Lang and said resentfully: "Duke Xue was first naturalized in our court, so he must have limited knowledge. Our court is like a cloud of fierce generals, and it is not only Princess Pingyang and King Qin who can recruit good fighters. Duke Xue is already an official in the court. , you should be cautious about your words."

Xue Lang said calmly: "Thank you King Qi for your guidance."

King Qi was suffocated, glared at Xue Lang, and said almost holding his breath: "Mr. Xue is polite."

After finishing speaking, he snorted, shook his hand, and left.Xue Lang couldn't get him to the point where he was angry at all, looking at the back of King Qi who was walking away angrily, his face was full of confusion.

In line with the good habit of "let go of things that you don't understand first", Xue Lang didn't mind at all that King Qi was left inexplicably, and went straight out of the palace——

"The servant has seen Da Lang!"

At the gate of the palace, Xiuniang was already waiting there, and a servant followed her. When she saw Xue Lang coming, Xiuniang was very excited, and the servant smiled and saluted: "I have seen Duke Xue!"

"Excuse me. My Xiuniang has been taken care of, thank you."

"Don't dare, this is the job of slaves."

The servant is very respectful.

Thanks to the little servant, Xue Lang took Xiuniang out, on the way, Xiuniang said with a little excitement: "To Dalang, the sage rewarded the servant girl with ten coins, the servant girl is the same as the servant who brought me in and out of the palace, and the rest is here .It was planned to be distributed to the female officials of Shangshi Bureau, but they don’t want it.”

Xue Lang said: "Since the sage rewarded you, you can keep it. As for the female officials of Shangshi Bureau, they should not want your reward money. I'm afraid they have learned the dishes you cooked in Shangshi Bureau today. It's fine if they don't thank you, how dare they share your reward!"

Xiu Niang turned pale with shock: "Please punish Da Lang!"

Xue Lang waved his hand: "It's okay, I taught the cooking lady a few dishes, and the sage gave me back a farm in the suburbs of Beijing, what a bargain! Not only are you innocent of this matter, you also have merit. I'll send someone to tell Ah Chen to go to Beijing Sometimes, I specially asked him to bring the children, and I asked He Xiang to teach them literacy and accounting, and when they grow up in the future, I will assign them my own affairs."

Xiu Niang was both surprised and delighted, and said excitedly: "The servants thank Da Lang for his kindness, the servants and servants will be loyal to Da Lang and will live up to Da Lang's kindness."

Xue Lang said: "As long as you have the heart, follow me. I will not treat your family badly. In the future, if there is a chance, I will come forward to ask the government to cancel your slave status and give you the status of good citizens."

"Dalang..."

Xiu Niang was so excited that she was speechless. As a slave, the greatest hope is to be exempted from the status of a slave by the grace of the master one day.

Xue Lang waved his hand indifferently.
