Six hundred and fifty-eight, the road to the north
Time flies. By mid-November, Yan Shen and Xiao Hongqi began to be responsible for protecting Xia's weapons to the north. Di Zhi's injuries were almost healed. He insisted on going south and presided over the establishment of the navy with Chanlin.
Li Xingzhou was afraid that his old injury would recur, but Di Zhi repeatedly asked, so he agreed.
There have been bad news these days because of buying weapons for Xia Guo.
With such a big noise, there are many people calling and participating, including the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Military Arts Supervisor, the New Army, and so many people participating in various central links, it is impossible to hide it, and the city will soon be full of wind and rain.
In fact, some people in the court opposed it, but he was the future crown prince, the Privy Councilor, the commander of the new army. He had great power in his hands, no one dared to say it, but it was different outside.
Early the next morning, Yue'er came back angrily to complain to him, saying that when she was going to buy vegetables with the maid in the mansion in the morning, she heard a few chess players talking about him "selling state-owned assets and enemies" by the river, saying that he sold weapons and weapons to Xia State, and was a traitor. It was a good thing that there was a prince in the past, but now that the prince died, his true nature was revealed.
Yue'er almost burst into tears after hearing this.
Li Xingzhou laughed loudly, comforting the little girl while asking her why she didn't teach them a lesson.
The little girl pouted and told her grievances in detail. She wanted to argue with them, but she felt that she could not say that she would find someone to teach her a lesson. Some people would say that the royal family bullies others with their power, so she thought about it and felt that there was no way, and she was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
This made Shiyu and others laugh. They were so angry that they couldn't get angry, so they pulled Yue'er to comfort him.
Li Xingzhou didn't care much, it would be strange if no one said it.
But for now, he took a very solid step. Fang Xin, the envoy to the Jin Kingdom, was orderly and beautifully done. Let’s look at He Xu’s next.
As New Year's Eve is approaching, every household is busy, and there are more people on the streets.

"Sir, are you sure to go back this time? I heard that the Tatars used the same swords as the Khitans. I have seen many Khitan swords, all of which are light and narrow-blade scimitars. They fight on their horses and use weapons to ask for help. No matter how light the horse speed is, they can severely damage the enemy.
Our country uses sabers differently, and it is even heavier and wide blades, so that there can be damage during infantry wars, so the Tatars will definitely not be used to it." The new army said to He Xu.
At this time, they were on the way north of the order, and had passed Datong Prefecture and arrived in the Jin Dynasty. Xia Kingdom was in war. They could not walk through the northwest desert, but could only go north of Datong from Taiyuan and take the Yinshan Pass.
It has begun to snow in the north, and the road is not easy to walk, so it is very slow.
He Xu blew a breath of warming his hands. The short dead grass on the roadside had been covered with thin snow. "They must want iron. You don't know that the least salt and iron on the grassland are flowing from the south. They are still afraid that the knife is not thick. If the knife is not thick, the iron will be less."
They nodded, "It's still Lord He who has a lot of knowledge."
Indeed, the swords used by the Tatars were different from those used in the Central Plains. Everyone rode a horse on the grassland. With the speed of the horse, the knife was not heavy. It could always cause terrifying damage. The lighter the better. If it weren't for the forging skills, I was afraid that the scimitar of the grassland today would be thinner, and their swords would be bent, the better the more they bent, so that the horse would not be pulled off when the horse was chopped at high speed.
This is different from the soldiers of Jingguo who rely on their bodies to fight most of the time, so the weight of weapons required increases lethality.
However, He Xu was not worried. He traveled to the grassland many times and knew the situation on the grassland. What they lacked was not a knife or a spear, but iron.
He was still a little unconfident, and his brother-in-law who suddenly appeared and his noble grandson suddenly entrusted him with important tasks.
At first he thought it would be difficult to get along with, but after all, he flattered the powerful and was not good at this since he was a child, so he chose to run around.
After discovering that his sister was fascinated by a playboy prince, he was a little worried. He was free and easy, but he was not heartless. He was still very concerned about his sister's lifelong affairs.
At the beginning, he proposed to take his sister to Jiangzhou to see the legendary capital city, but he didn't expect that it would be completely different from what he thought or guessed.
There was no legendary domineering or pedantic as he imagined. In short,...it made his eyes shine.
What I didn't expect was that he would entrust himself with such a great appointment now.
To be honest, whether in the hearts of his father or in the mouths of his peers, he is a typical representative of "unfairness". Every time he returns to Beijing, his father frowns and teaches a lesson. Playmates, friends, or people he meets by chance, he is ridiculed and sarcastic to him in his words.
What should a person of his age be like? It is good in the hearts of his parents and in the hearts of his peers. He should marry and have children, study and discuss the truth, be polite and elegant, gather in groups from time to time, make friends from time to time, sometimes recite poems and essays, and sometimes sit and discuss the world. That is the right way and will be sought after by people.
Like Yan Junru, the descendant of the Yan family, he gained a very good reputation, but he couldn't do it and didn't like it either.
He likes all over the world, self-reliance, and bargaining. No matter what that is, he will cause a burst of jokes when he says it.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen, businessmen, businessmen, and businessmen, have understood the truth since childhood, but he was a good scholar but failed to do so, and he became the last businessman. He was still a businessman who was tired and exhausted from all over the country and had no place to live. In the eyes of others, he was not a fool or something.
Therefore, every time I talk to my peers, most of them will not say anything nice to him. He can hear it, but he can only smile.
But as soon as he smiled, others regarded him as a fool and said it over.
But only King Jin, who had never expressed contempt or suspicion to him since the meeting in Jiangzhou, and he was even excited and happy on the face of the young prince.
Then he asked him about many of his experiences outside the Jing Kingdom. After hearing his detailed explanation, he laughed happily. It was not a ridicule that he had been used to, but a laugh...
He Xu felt respected and understood for the first time, so he remembered the explanation of King Jin and went north to inquire about the information on the grassland. At that time, he only went near Yinshan, but took the risk to go north to inquire about it.
This time, the King of Jin did not hand over the important task of negotiating with the grassland people to his confidants, nor did he order the ministers in the court, but to him.
Such a big event was left to him. His peers who used to mock him and his heartbroken father looked at him differently.
Before leaving, the King of Jin repeatedly instructed that things could be accomplished, and that if they could not succeed, they would put safety back first.
For He Xu, he liked to travel around the country since childhood and liked to trade business rather than study, and had never been taken so seriously. When he set off, he just bowed and said nothing about guarantees, but he had already made up his mind that this trip must have results.
