Chapter 555 Attack Gaochang Bamboo Paper Dacheng
"kill...!"
A heroic shout of killing sounded on a school ground, which was a school ground in the imperial city of Chang'an City. At this time, the one who was training here was Hou Guangliang's 10,000 Douhu Army.
The saber...the arch of the enemy...the bow of the Jiuhu Army is standard. Li Zhan fulfilled his promise. Since Hou Junji saw these equipment, his eyes have turned red, but Hou Junji is really embarrassed to compete with his son for equipment.
The Wanjihu Army did not recruit, but selected outstanding soldiers from the army of various governments to re-enter. Among them, the Sixth Commander of the East Palace brought in two thousand people, which were all Hou Guangliang's old foundation.
"So it's the young master here..." Li Zhan entered the palace today and followed him to the school grounds to see Hou Guangliang.
When Hou Guangliang saw Li Zhan, he immediately came over.
When Li Zhan saw Hou Guangliang, he smiled and said, "Do your father have the idea to attack your Jiuhu Army's equipment?"
After Li Zhan said this, Hou Guangliang said with a hint: "No more... Because Your Majesty promised my father to equip my father with one hundred stone crossbows. My father has been attracted by the stone crossbows since he saw the stone crossbows invented by the young master. So His Majesty said that he would give my father a hundred stone crossbows, and he never beat the equipment of our Jiuhu Army Tang Gang again."
"Well...!" Li Zhan nodded: "I think the battle in Gaochang should start soon. You must be prepared. If the battle in Gaochang is together, you will have important tasks and follow me to Gaochang."
"Prince, please rest assured, Jiuhu Army is always prepared... We are now training for a small day, and every three days, so we dare not be slacking off. By the way...Prince, my father told me yesterday that not long ago, King Qu Wentai of Gaochang attached to the Western Turks and blocked the countries in the Western Regions from tribute to the Tang Dynasty through their territory, and sent troops to harass the countries attached to Yiwu (now Hami, Xinjiang), Yanqi (now southwest of Yanqi, Xinjiang).
Your Majesty has issued an order to summon Qu Wentai to the court... I wonder if this King Gaochang will come to the court?"
Li Zhan shook his head and said, "A king who already wants to leave the Tang Dynasty has a weak heart, so he will definitely come to the Tang Dynasty. Guangliang, great military achievements are in front of you, and you can train well..."
"Thank you, young master...!" Hou Guangliang bowed.
Li Zhan laughed and followed the carriage on the side, which slowly drove towards the palace.
Soon, Li Zhan arrived at Lizheng Hall. As soon as he entered, Li Zhan saw Li Mingda rushing to come over, and he was also holding a lot of gold and silver jewelry in his hand. Li Zhan watched Li Mingda run to him panting and stuffed all the gold and silver jewelry in his hand into Li Zhan's hand and said, "Brother, I'll give it to you..."
Li Zhan looked at the cute little guy and said in surprise: "Shizi, what did you do to your brother for your jewelry?"
"Brother...!" The little guy stretched out his hands and asked Li Zhan to pick him up. After Li Zhan picked up Li Mingda, he heard Li Mingda say in Li Zhan's ear: "Brother... I know you have no money anymore. I heard the mother and father talk last time. They thought Yizi fell asleep, but in fact Yizi didn't fall asleep.
Weizi wants to help his elder brother. These are the most precious things that Weizi has. Weizi gives them to him today, so that his elder brother will have money and can build a big ship."
After saying this, Li Zhan really showed a heartwarming smile.
What exactly is Li Mingda talking about? In fact, it was Li Zhan’s vigorous construction of Dengzhou. Since returning to Chang'an in January, Li Zhan went to seek Changsun Chong’s opinions. Li Zhan hoped that Changsun Chong could be the governor of Dengzhou.
Changsun Chong said that he had to think about it, after all, Dengzhou was really a waste of time at this time.
However, after less than ten days of consideration, Changsun Chi replied to Li Zhan, "I want to be the governor of Dengzhou... This made Li Zhan feel very good, because Changsun Chong, who was in Dengzhou, could fully start building Dengzhou vigorously.
On the fifth day after Changsun arrived in Dengzhou, Li Zhan began to move some workshops in Dunhuafang, including coal workshops, soap soap workshops, lamb oil candle workshops, perfume workshops, cement workshops...
It was probably February that Li Zhan asked Changsun Chong to find some shipbuilders in Dengzhou, and began to choose a site in Penglai District, preparing to build a shipyard and a wharf harbor.
You don’t know how much it cost to spend Li Zhan in this series, and it has hundreds of millions of yuan. Originally, these were something that Li Zhan could bear, but who knew that the drought in Hebei caused a large number of vagrants because it had not rained for more than a month.
You have to know that these vagrants are all dangerous elements. How did the Ming Dynasty perish? They were rebelled and destroyed by these vagrants. As long as you give them a bite of food, they will follow you to their lives. That court can bear it.
Just when Li Shimin was at a loss, Li Zhan appeared again at this time. He proposed to use labor for relief and let these Hebei vagrants come to Dengzhou. Li Zhan wanted to build Dengzhou Prefecture City, but the original one was not needed. Dengzhou Prefecture City is in Penglai District, close to the newly selected harbor and shipyard.
Originally, this mansion had to wait until the shipyard and the harbor dock were built before it could be built, but there was no way. Hebei was not a small matter, so Li Zhan had to fight for his life.
But what Li Zhan didn't expect was that when two projects were put together, it would be like a waste of money. Li Zhan quickly found out about the finances. Fortunately, at this time, Li Chengqian, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji... and others helped Li Zhan, otherwise Li Zhan would have been unable to bear it.
This is also the reason why Li Mingda said that Li Zhan had no money.
"Oh...my little beloved!" Li Zhan kissed Li Mingda's little face hard and said, "Brother doesn't need Yizi's jewelry, because he will soon be rich."
"Ah..." Li Mingda's little eyes blinked slightly. She didn't know what Li Zhan meant that he would be rich soon.
And only Li Zhan understands this meaning... He will be rich soon because Li Shimin is going to attack Gaochang. Li Shimin and Li Zhan actually had an agreement. As long as Li Zhan defeated Gaochang this time, half of Gaochang's wealth will belong to Li Zhan.
This is Li Shimin's reward to Li Zhan, and it is also Li Shimin taking the opportunity to give Li Zhan a reward, because Li Shimin knew very well that the severe drought in Hebei and the construction of Dengzhou had forced his son to lose money.
You can't really force your son to death directly, so Li Shimin made such an agreement with Li Zhan.
Because of this, Li Zhan is actually looking forward to Gaochang getting messy soon, so that Li Zhan can get money as soon as possible.
"Zhan'er..." Just as Li Zhan was hugging Li Mingda, Queen Changsun, whose lower abdomen was slightly raised in Lizheng Hall, smiled and shouted.
"Mother..." Li Mingda responded with a smile.
Following Li Zhan, he hugged Li Mingda and walked towards Empress Changsun.
What Li Zhan didn't know was that in a corner of Lizheng Hall, a dark little eye was silently watching everything. Following this little eye wrote on one of his own papers: "Li Zhan entered the Queen Lizheng Hall again at noon, and had an ambiguous relationship with the Queen..."
Following Xiaoying, he put the paper in his waist and smiled, "It's already the thirty times... This time, even if Li Zhan jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it clearly. As long as he handed these over to His Highness the King of Yue, his glory and wealth are at his fingertips." After saying that, Xiaoying smiled evilly.

"This is Qingfeng Casino...!"
"How about it, my cousin...it's better here than the casino you have...!"
In Qingfeng Casino, two young men walked happily among them. Both of them were from the Du family... The cousin was Du Yue... The cousin was Du Xiang... Among them, Du Xiang came to Chang'an to participate in the spring exam, but it was just a formality.
This kind of opportunity that is extremely precious to poor students is actually forced by the clan members of the family. Du Xiang is a complete playboy. The blessings in the family are enough, but he has no interest in learning.
"Okay...Okay...!" Du Xiang looked at the waitress in Qingfeng Casino, and his saliva was about to fall.
But Du Yue saw his cousin's Zhu Ge, and he quickly warned: "Cousin... This is Chang'an, not yours, especially Qingfeng Casino, which has a large backstage. You can play here, but you must not cause trouble. You know!"
"Know...know..."
Du Xiang laughed twice, but although he said he knew, he knew it in his heart or not, no one could know it.
Without thinking too much, Du Yue directly changed his chips and entered the casino. The two started playing.
....................................
Ding Wu... It turns out that the person from Lijingmen was later transferred from Lijingmen. Now he is the security supervisor of Qingfeng Casino. Anyone who comes to Qingfeng Casino to make trouble will come forward to settle it.
Don’t think that if Qingfeng Casino was opened by Li Zhan, no one will cause trouble.
In fact, there are quite a lot of trouble, among which Chang'an is the most gangsters. Once, a gangster wanted to open up the situation in Chang'an, so he came to Qingfeng Casino to ask for money. Qingfeng Casino refused to give it to him, so he tore his pants and got the meat down.
The people from Qingfeng Casino were suddenly stunned.
Fortunately, Ding Wu came out at this time, holding a salt jar in his hand. The other party slaps one, and Ding Wu just ate one.
In the end, the gangster didn't stick to the three points, so he called his mother and left in shame.
In addition to the gangsters, there were also some playboys who made trouble, but they were all beaten away by Ding Wu. However, Ding Wu felt a little difficult during this period. Why... Because of the spring exam, there were too many students taking the exam.
What is speechless is that these people are both playboys and disciples... and every family has some background, which is really not easy to deal with. If you meet talented people, it will be even more troublesome.
These dogs are quite colorful. Many girls in Qingfeng Casino have encountered stingy hands, and there is no way...!
"ah...!"
Suddenly, a scream sounded, and tears fell down a little girl from Qingfeng Casino.
Ding Wu immediately took someone over. When he saw Ding Wu, the little girl pointed at Du Xiang on the side and said, "Manager Ding, he always touched me."
"Hehe...!" At this time, Du Xiang smiled indifferently: "My touched you means that I like you, oh... you are not happy anymore. In this way, I will give you money... As long as you accompany me, I will be happy..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Yue, who was on the other side, immediately shouted in panic: "Cousin... Stop talking, what are you talking about...!" After cursing, Du Yue looked at Ding Wudao with a dark face: "Manager Ding, sorry, sorry, my cousin just came from the countryside.
This is a bad thing, we will compensate you, ten cents of money...!"
Ding Wu said lightly: "This is Qingfeng Casino, not a kiln. If you want to go to kiln, please go to Pingkangfang...!"
After saying that, Ding Wu was about to leave.
But who knows that Du Xiang on one side is furious. You have to know that Du Xiang is the little bully in his home. When was someone taught a lesson? He suddenly kicked the table at 21 o'clock in front of him, knocking down all the chips that were standing up by the guests.
Then he stood up and looked at Ding Wu and said, "What are you? Labor and Capital will play with women here today. Do you know who my father is... My father is..."
Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Ding Wu suddenly held Du Xiang's neck and said, "I don't care who your father is. Even if he is an official from Chang'an, he must abide by the rules when he comes to my Qingfeng Casino. Now you get out!"
As he said that, Ding Wu walked out of Qingfeng Casino with Du Xiang's neck and came outside the casino. Ding Wu directly threw Du Xiang like this. Du Xiang staggered and hit the stone pier on the roadside with a "bang".
"Ah...!" With a scream, Ding Wu's forehead was bleeding, but fortunately, the bleeding was not very large, so Du Yue hurried over to support Du Xiang.
"Wait for me... Wait for me, I'll go back and call my dad immediately, and I will definitely demolish your Qingfeng Casino." Du Xiang cursed loudly, but Du Yue on the side said speechlessly: "Oh... I wouldn't bring you any more if I had known you would cause trouble. My good cousin, this is Chang'an, not your home."
After saying that, Du Yue dragged his cousin away. Ding Wu originally thought that this matter was as small as usual, but Ding Wu never expected that this matter would soon become a big storm.

"It's done...it's done!"
At the same time, in Zhushan... In the papermaking workshop, a master shouted happily with a piece of already formed bamboo paper.
The voice of the papermaker attracted the attention of Tang Qiang and Wang Dali.
Tang Qiang is the current general manager of Zhushan, and he has formed a Xuanjia Army of nearly a thousand people. Wang Dali is the current general of the Xuanjia Army.
Both of them are Li Zhan’s confidants.
At this time, the two of them heard Cheng and Cheng's voice and rushed to the papermaking workshop quickly. When they saw the two coming, the papermaking master took out the snow-white bamboo paper.
Tang Qiang and Wang Dali finally showed an excited look.
Then Wang Dali said happily: "It's done, it's done, it's done, it's done. The bamboo paper that the young master has always wanted has finally been done. If it doesn't work, I really don't know what to do."
"Okay...good...hehe...!" Tang Qiang on the side also smiled and said, "We can live up to the entrusted son. The bamboo paper is made, which should be able to alleviate the entrusted son's finances. By the way, Dali, you can go to Chang'an in person later.
Tell the young master the news in person!”
"Okay...Boss Tang, then I'll leave immediately. This... I'll trouble you about the family." Wang Dali smiled happily.
Tang Qiang said, "Don't worry...!"
That's it... Wang Dali left Zhushan with bamboo paper and rode a fast horse to Chang'an. At this time, Li Zhan didn't know anything. If he knew that bamboo paper was made, Li Zhan might jump happily.
Bamboo paper is a good thing. With bamboo paper, Li Zhan's movable type printing technique can also be put on the agenda. Sell bamboo paper first to make some money, then print books, and then sell books later, which will really make a lot of money.
What's better is that Li Zhan will lower the price of books. You should know that the most important problem of poor families now is that they can't afford to buy books, and they can't see books.
These two points are really important. Li Shimin needs them very much. Li Zhan will make Li Shimin happy again.
