Chapter 147 Martial arts is a cover?

This kid Cheng Chumo is fairly well-informed, and his mind is better than Cheng Yaojin, who is five-year-old and three-year-old.

After hearing the news about the assembly line from the courtiers in the court, the entire workshop was restructured overnight, which was more space-saving and more orderly than before.

It is not difficult to make cotton clothes, but it is too troublesome to remove the seeds.

Fortunately, iron brushes and the like were barely usable, and Li Xian even made a set of cotton-stretching equipment. After explaining them in detail, the tailors were able to imitate them.It's just that the strength is big and small, and the technique is also somewhat lacking. After all, the professor Li Xian is also an out-and-out half-pot.

After setting everything up, the lights of thousands of households are already on. The two tailors heard that learning how to pluck cotton can add five pennies per month, so they insisted on learning by candlelight. Li Xian has nothing to do with these hard-working people, so let them go.

Haohao Huaxia's 5000-year civilization has continued to develop under the hard work of generations.

Learning and accepting new things is always a good thing.

After coming out of the workshop, there are already thousands of lights.

Li Xiancheng sat silently opposite to each other in the carriage, looking a little tired.

The candlelight on the street shone into the undulating curtain of the car, and Cheng Chumo stared at Li Xian, who was leaning on the opposite carriage, with curiosity flooding his heart.

"Brother Li, are you going to Yanwu?"

I heard Li Xian mentioned this matter today, but I was in a hurry during the day, and I didn't go into it deeply after going back and forth.

Hearing Cheng Chumo's question, Li Xian slightly opened his eyes, feeling suspicious.

"Earlier, General Li Junxian passed an edict, saying that he would accompany His Majesty to watch some martial arts..."

"Hey~ This Li Er is enough to make people stop. You said that we are a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and it is nothing more than teaching the prince. There is also a plow, and now it is the Ministry of Industry, and it is already very busy."

"What's the matter with watching the martial arts?"

It was the first time that someone dared to refer to His Majesty as Li Er, a look of panic flashed across Cheng Chumo's face, he tugged at the corner of Li Xian's clothes, and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Li, be careful with your words and deeds! Although you are a hero by His Majesty's side, you absolutely dare not call Your Majesty that way."

Li Xian also talked about Cheng Chumo as a close friend, and seeing Cheng Chumo's nervous expression, he nodded slightly indifferently.

Cheng Chumo sighed softly and leaned back slowly.

"Brother Li lives in the palace and knows very little about the affairs of the imperial city. During this period of time, the imperial city is actually not stable."

"A few days ago, a large number of foreign businessmen poured into the imperial city, with a lot of secret work. They also seized a lot of illegal influx of kerosene to prevent a fire in the imperial city."

"I heard from Father that your majesty's large-scale martial arts performance this time is to deter those unruly aliens in the imperial city, and also to boost morale for this western expedition."

To be honest, Li Xian has never heard of these dangerous things!

Unexpectedly, there are still these rebels hiding in this bustling imperial city.

But after thinking about it, Li Xian became suspicious.

"But in the end, performing martial arts is a general's business, so why do you have to specially invite me, who knows nothing about formations, to watch?"

Cheng Chumo only thought that Li Xian, a weak scholar, was a little scared, so he smiled, patted Li Xian's knee, and comforted him.

"Brother Li, you can rest assured."

"To put it bluntly, this martial arts performance is just for show, and Brother Li will not be involved in it."

Speaking of this, Cheng Chumo stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Brother Li has always been resourceful, made by Nong Sang, and he is very good at arithmetic. His Majesty will ask you to comment a few words. It may be a big change in the barracks."

There was a hint of cunning in the blinking eyes, and Cheng Chumo's voice was soft and low, with a touch of flattery.

"If brother Li has no intention of recruiting this great achievement, don't forget our Cheng family..."

Li Xianbai glanced at the opposite figure, stretched out his hand to his forehead, his face was covered with dark clouds.

Cheng Chumo's words are not unreasonable.

It's really not a good thing to reveal too much of yourself now.

Having said that, I really don't have much suggestion for improvement in this military camp where the soldiers are handed over and charged on horseback?
Could it be that Li Er really wants to put forward some suggestions for reform?
Is it possible that I have to make a few gunpowder for fun?

……

time.

The birds chirping outside the window is crisp, and the light and shadow obliquely pass through the window lattice.

Li Xian woke up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes, and realized that he had arrived at the Cheng Mansion.

After receiving the toilet utensils handed over by the maid, after washing, Mrs. Cheng enthusiastically dragged them to the dining table and arranged them at the side closest to the head of the house, Cheng Yaojin.

Most of the Cheng Mansion's tea sales are due to Li Xian's frying, plus His Majesty's unintentional allocation of tea.

Seeing that Li Xian was seated, Cheng Yaojin took the cup and poured wine with a smile, and handed it to Li Xian.

"Nephew! This time you have made the most contribution. Our tea shop business is booming, and Chu Mo has fulfilled his wish to be promoted to the captain of Yihui, just like the ranks of the Western Expedition."

"Come on! This old man will offer you a toast!"

When Li Xian was about to decline, he saw Cheng Yaojin gulp down it, and he waved his hands while smiling.

It's hard to turn down the hospitality, Li Xian also raised his head and poured it down.

When putting down the wine cup, Li Xian felt a little embarrassed.

"General Cheng, Li Xian also has a share in the matter of tea, so let's stop here and don't mention it again."

"Brother Chu Mo is already very powerful in martial arts, and the position of captain is well-deserved. Li Xian only mentioned a few points, and he absolutely dare not take credit for it."

Cheng Yaojin probably didn't expect Li Xian to be so humble, he was slightly taken aback, and then laughed.

"Okay! Okay, don't mention it, don't mention it!"

"But your talk about the assembly line has benefited Datang a lot. Now the official kilns fired by Datang are also produced in the same way. I heard that ceramics have piled up into mountains. There are long queues in front of the official kilns that Xi Lang originally booked in advance."

"Good boy, your actions like this will enrich our Datang fruit bank a lot."

Li Xian smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. Thinking about how many days he slept in the Ministry of Industry, he felt a little ashamed.

Cheng Yaojin saw that Li Xian hammered his head and said nothing, just thought that Li Xian was a little shy and didn't want to accept the credit, so he patted Li Xian's shoulder with his big hand.

"Nephew! There is no need to tweak this time."

"The Tang Dynasty has clear rewards and punishments. Those yogurt civil servants still had a lot of complaints about you before. Look at Nong Sang, the barracks are well-organized. Compared with them, who can only talk, they are much better than them!"

bang bang.

Mrs. Cheng's bamboo chopsticks on one side tapped the rim of the bowl in front of Cheng Yaojin's body, and raised her eyebrows.

"You're the one who talks the most! Why are you talking about such important things for no reason?"

"If this word spreads, maybe some Wen Cheng will be invited to participate in the next book."

When the words fell, Mrs. Cheng added a chicken leg to Li Xian's bowl, and her words became softer.

"Mr. Li, you can't compare to your culinary skills even with simple tea and light meals. Don't be disgusted."

"Our Cheng Mansion has regained a firm foothold in the court, and you have contributed a lot."

"I heard that His Majesty brought you by his side during this martial arts performance. Don't think I'm being blunt. I'm still young and have such great power, so I should give advice to Your Majesty. You should take good care of the martial arts performance."

These words were similar to those of a red-haired girl, and Li Xian felt warm in his heart even in the Cheng residence, so he cupped his hands and said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Cheng, for your suggestion."

After hearing the thank you words, Mrs. Cheng smiled like a flower on her face, looked around, and then looked at the heirs of the Cheng family beside her, pointing them vainly.

"Look at each of you, you don't like to listen to a few words in ordinary times..."

Chewing the chicken in his mouth, Li Xian focused on Mrs. Cheng's words just now, not only thinking about it.

At this time, the Cheng family must be favored because they know the inside story of the martial arts performance, I'm afraid what they say is true.

Could it be that Li Erzhen wanted to ask himself about the military camp?
