Chapter 484
Yuan Gai Suwen has carefully studied Li Shimin, if the envoys from various countries embarrass Li Shimin at the court meeting, Li Shimin will definitely retaliate afterwards.
In this way, when countries feel the crisis, they only need someone to take the lead, and it is easy to unite.
But the countries didn't even mention the increase of rewards, so how could Li Shimin hold grudges?
Countries can't feel the crisis, and they are afraid of Datang's strength, so it is impossible to unite.
"Then what should we do now?" Fan Mingyuan asked.
Yuan Gai Suwen hesitated for a while, and said, "Don't do anything now, it will be troublesome if it gets exposed."
He still doesn't know that Jin Chunqiu has already told Li Shimin about their union.
If it weren't for Li Shimin not wanting to cause extra problems now, he would probably attack Yuan Gai Suwen.
……
Qilaobateer said: "Khan, Hou Junji changed the route."
"Cough, cough, cough~" Nishu couldn't help coughing just as he was about to say something after listening.
"Khan, are you alright?" Qilaubatel asked with some concern.
He was originally a spy sent by the Western Turks to Chang'an, with a low status.
It is because of Nishu's trust that he has today's status.
In the past few months, the muddy cough has become more frequent, which is obviously abnormal.
If something happened to Nishu, it would be impossible for him to have the current power.
Nishu came over slowly, waved his hands, and said, "Since Hou Junji has changed his course, we can't do anything to him. Let's follow the original plan."
"Khan, what I'm worried about is that Datang will suddenly send troops when we start a war with Xue Yantuo." Qilaobateer said.
Nishu said confidently: "Datang is short of food. Didn't you say that the spies in Chang'an heard the news that the price of food in Chang'an has soared? Datang is not as powerful as you imagined. The Turks are due to civil strife in the Eastern Turks and sneak attacks. As long as we are careful and prepared, the Tang Dynasty will not be afraid."
What he said was not so much comforting Qibaatar, but rather comforting himself.
He has no way out now, he can only fight.
……
"Young master, wake up."
Lin Xuan opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Chunyue and said, "What's wrong?"
"My lord, Mr. Zhang is here, waiting for you in the hall." Chunyue said.
"Mr. Zhang?" Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback and asked, "Which Mr. Zhang?"
"It's the young master's master, Mr. Zhang." Chunyue explained.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, it turned out that it was Zhang Zhongjian who was talking about.
It's just that Zhang Zhongjian has a thick back and a beard, is it really appropriate to call him Mr.
Under Chunyue's service, Lin Xuan came to the hall after washing.
"I said Master, what's the matter with you coming so early?" Lin Xuan walked over to Zhang Zhongjian and sat down.
It stands to reason that Zhang Zhongjian is his master, at least he should salute respectfully when meeting him.
It's just that their pair of master and apprentice is a bit special, Lin Xuan didn't mean to salute.
But Zhang Zhongjian didn't care about these at all.
"A martial arts practitioner should do three-nines in winter and three days in summer. You are so lazy, I really don't know how you have developed your martial arts." Zhang Zhongjian said.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. He didn't say he heard chickens dancing every day, but he wasn't lazy, was he?
He thought he was quite diligent, but he drank a lot of wine yesterday. Although he was not drunk at the time, he had a good stamina, and he fell asleep after returning.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I couldn't fall asleep, and I finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
"Master, you came here to teach me, right?" Lin Xuan said.
Zhang Zhongjian cast a glance at Lin Xuan, and said: "The old man just saw that you are a seedling who practiced martial arts, and he couldn't bear to waste it like this. Just a few reminders. As for why I came here, don't you understand?"
"Could it be that you are leaving? Didn't you agree that we would go together?" Lin Xuan said.
Zhang Zhongjian said angrily: "Who said that this is what I came here for? You don't know how to pay New Year's greetings to me when it's Chinese New Year? When the pharmacist asked, I still want to help you. Why did I accept such an unfilial apprentice like you. "
In order not to make Li Jing and the others suspicious, when Li Jing and the others asked about it, he also said that he didn't like those ceremonies and refused to let Lin Xuan go to the New Year.
Thinking about Zhang Zhongjian makes me feel depressed, no matter what, this old man is also your master, right?
Can't you put on a show and wish the old man a new year?
Today Li Jing's house was going to have some guests, but he didn't know those people, so he left Li's house and came to find Lin Xuan.
"I said, do you still care about these silly things?" Lin Xuan said in surprise.
According to his understanding of Zhang Zhongjian, Zhang Zhongjian should be somewhat similar to Huang Yaoshi in Jin Yong's works.
People with seven points of evil in the center and three points of righteousness in the evil are always against others. He should dismiss the "traditional ethics" that others value.
Zhang Zhongjian was rendered speechless by Lin Xuan's words.
He really didn't care about those empty etiquettes, but he lived in Li's house and wanted Lin Xuan to be very filial.
This tells the parents to the children outside that if they are busy, don’t come back. After the children go back, the parents will still say a few words, and they shouldn’t come back.
But he would show off to the neighbors in the neighborhood, telling him not to come back but to come back.
Zhang Zhongjian had no heirs, and his apprentices were his children. Lin Xuan behaved well, but he also had face in front of Li Jing and the others.
"The old man just said casually, why would he care about those things." Zhang Zhongjian said: "The old man came here because there will be more guests at the pharmacist's house these days, so I come to stay with you for a few days."
"The yard you lived in before is reserved for you. You can still live there."
"It's cold now, do you need me to find some women to warm your bed?" Lin Xuan said ambiguously.
"You brat, are you still joking with me?" Zhang Zhongjian scolded.
Zhang Zhongjian has no shortage of women, and he is not an infatuated person, but he still can't play with the daughter arranged by his apprentice.
Lin Xuan didn't insist either, he was just joking.
It's not that he is reluctant, he thinks that once Zhang Zhongjian is old, he should stop harming other girls.
"The old man reminds you that we are leaving in a few days, you should prepare quickly, otherwise the old man will not wait for you when the time comes." Zhang Zhongjian said.
"Don't worry, I remember."
Lin Xuan suddenly remembered the blueprint of Zheng He's treasure ship that was rewarded for signing in, and said, "Wait for me first, I'll go get something."
After finishing speaking, Lin Xuan went back to the room, took the drawn drawings, thought for a while, and took a compass from the treasure chest.
Back in the hall, Lin Xuan spread out the drawings, put them in front of Zhang Zhongjian, and said, "Help me see how this boat looks."
Zhang Zhongjian didn't pay much attention at first, but after seeing the blueprint, he exclaimed, "Is this a sea ship?"
There are many differences between sea boats and river boats, the most important of which is the bottom of the boat.
Inland river boats use flat bottoms because of the different depths of the river and the small wind and waves.
However, when the wind and waves are strong at sea, the flat-bottomed boats will capsize when the wind and waves are slightly larger, so they are all pointed bottoms, so that the draft is deep so that the boat can withstand the wind and waves.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, I got this at a great price. See if you can make it."
Zhang Zhongjian read it carefully, and exclaimed: "This ship is stronger than all the ships I have seen. According to the size on your blueprint, if there are several such ships, they will run amok on the sea."
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, and you have to say that the Zheng He treasure ship was the largest wooden sea ship in the Ming Dynasty.
Let alone the Tang Dynasty, there was a gap of several hundred years.
The Tang Dynasty didn’t even have firearms, and water battles were basically long-range bows and arrows. When they got close, they had to be rammed by boats.
The larger the boat, the stronger the impact force.
