"Father! Your leg is not good, how can you go so far away? "
Yunshan residence, Li family main hall.
Han Yuxi heard that her father was determined to go to Hedong Road and couldn't help but speak up.
Han Lizheng smiled and said, "Yuxi, your father is not so delicate! Besides, I'm going to Hedong Road to help Xiaoxuan manage the mine, not to fight. The old injury on my leg is not a problem! "
Li Zexuan also wanted to persuade him a little more, but he heard Han Lizheng continue, "In the war between the Tang Empire and the Tujue, countless soldiers were buried in the Hedong Road. So many years have passed, this old man can still see my old comrades in my dreams. This time, this old man will also bring a few jugs of good wine to pay respects to my brothers!"
In the fifth year of Wude, Xieli Khan tore up the peace treaty with the Tang Empire and sent out tens of thousands of soldiers. Together with the exiled Liu Heita, they attacked the new city of Hedong Road. Li Yuan sent out three armies. Crown Prince Li Jiancheng went to Changzhou Road and Prince Qin Li Shimin went to Qinzhou Road to resist the two armies of the Turks. In addition, he sent Yunzhou Supervisor Guo Zihe to Yunzhong to ambush Xieli Khan's army. Left Wuwei General Duan Decao went to Xiazhou to cut off the Turks' retreat.
At that time, Qin Qiong was a general under Li Shimin and naturally went to battle with him. As Qin Qiong's personal guard, Han Tianhu naturally had to accompany him. It was also in that battle that Han Tianhu was shot in the thigh by the enemy in order to save Qin Qiong and completely became a cripple!
Even so, he was considered lucky because in that battle, the Tang Empire lost thousands of soldiers. He was lucky to be able to keep his life in the end!
In ancient times, when a war was over, it was impossible to transport all the bodies of the fallen back, and this was also unrealistic. In normal circumstances, the dead soldiers of one's side would be collectively buried, and only the bodies of high officials and generals would be brought back to the Imperial Court. Thus, the soldiers who had died in battle had all been buried at the border between the Hedong Circuit and the Turks.
Li Zexuan listened silently and finally stopped trying to dissuade him. In this world, other than family, friendship, and love, there was also a purer and hot-blooded feeling, and that was the friendship of a soldier! They were people who had been on the battlefield together, and they were closer than real brothers. They could truly trust each other with their backs without any scruples!
After a pause, Li Zexuan looked at Han Yuxi. Although the latter's face showed reluctance, there was more understanding and relief. He then turned to Han Lizheng and said, "Father-in-law, you can go! As for the mine, I will instruct Ni Taifeng and the others to listen to your orders. If anything happens over there, you can look for Fubin. That kid is quite familiar with the local authorities in the Lan Province! "
Hearing this, Han Lizheng's eyes revealed a trace of anticipation and excitement. He nodded and said, "Mm! Don't worry! What have I not seen in my life? It's just a long trip. It's not a big deal! "
Li Zexuan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Father-in-law, after you go to Hedong Road, remember to tell Ni Taifeng and the others not to treat the miners harshly. They are all people who dig for food in the fields. It's not easy!"
This sentence made Han Lizheng a little confused, but in the end, he nodded and replied, "Of course!"
In fact, he didn't know Li Zexuan's painstaking efforts. Since ancient China's use of minerals became more and more widespread, and mining technology became more and more mature, more and more mine owners tried to recruit people to mine. However, most of them liked to withhold the miners' wages and food, and they also squeezed the miners' strength too much. During the Ming Dynasty, there were many miners' revolts in the mines.
Li Zexuan's instructions were to prevent trouble before it happened!
Han Yuxi interrupted at this time, "Father! Then you must come back before the New Year! Your daughter, Iron Egg, and mother are all waiting for you to come back for the New Year! "
Hearing Han Yuxi mention his late wife, Han Lizheng's eyes immediately flashed with a trace of gentleness. He nodded solemnly and said firmly, "Okay! Father will definitely come back before the New Year! "
After that, he got up and said, "Little Xuan, you chat with Steward Fu. This old man will go back and pack up. Tomorrow, we will leave together with Fubin and the others!"
Obviously, he could also see that Li Zexuan and Faubert still had important matters to discuss.
"This! Father-in-law, why don't you stay for lunch? "
Li Zexuan urged him to stay.
Han Yuxi also looked over with eager eyes.
However, Han Lizheng said, "Haha! No! No! This old man still has to go to Chang 'an to buy some things. You guys eat! "
After that, he looked at Li Zexuan, paused, and sighed inexplicably, "Little Xuan! Yuxi marrying you is this child's blessing. This old man will never tell you to treat her well, because this old man knows that you are a kind person. Even if this old man doesn't tell you, you will treat her well! This child is luckier than her mother in the past! Haha! "
With a sigh, Han Lizheng waved his hand, turned around, and walked out of the door. His back looked somewhat miserable!
"Hubby …"
Han Yuxi felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She looked at Li Zexuan with tears in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but stopped.
"It's okay! Father-in-law must be missing Mother-in-law! "
Li Zexuan stroked Han Yuxi's soft long hair and comforted her.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that this young couple had neglected an old man like him, Faubert quickly coughed. Otherwise, he didn't know what these two people in front of him would do!
"Young Master! Regarding the matter of the ironworks, I wonder if you have any ideas? "
When Faubert saw that the couple had finally noticed him, he quickly asked.
Li Zexuan came back to his senses and took a stack of blueprints from Han Yuxi's hands. He handed it to Faubert and said, "I have an idea! Here, Faubert, take a look! "
A thick stack of blueprints suddenly fell into his hands. Faubert couldn't help but be shocked. "So many? Young Master, did you start preparing for the steelmaking matter a few months ago? "
In his words, there was some admiration for Li Zexuan's foresight. To be honest, he did know that Li Zexuan drew blueprints quickly, but he never would have thought that Li Zexuan would draw so quickly! He had at least two or three hundred blueprints in his hands!
"How could he have started preparing a few months ago? He only started drawing two or three days ago. He didn't sleep well for two consecutive nights! "
When Han Yuxi heard Faubert's words, she couldn't help but say unhappily.
Under normal circumstances, when Li Zexuan was talking about business with others, she rarely interrupted. This time, when she saw that Li Zexuan didn't care about his body, she was really angry!
"What? Two … two or three days? "
Faubert was really shocked. The blueprints in his hands were almost thrown to the ground by him. Fortunately, he didn't have a heart attack or anything. Otherwise, he might have fainted by now! Even so, he was scared out of his wits. To be able to draw two or three hundred such high-quality blueprints in two or three days, Faubert couldn't help but say to himself, "Is my young master a monster with eight hands?"
