Chapter 117: The Real Reason for Li Shimin's Vacillation
"Third child, my father heard a news from the army, the grain ship of the 'Benxin' grain store sank, and I heard that there were many casualties, at this time, His Majesty's side was furious, and my father felt that this was an excellent opportunity for you." Cheng Biting Jin pushed the door into Cheng Chubi's room and said.
"Ahem......" Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated again.
Because Cheng Chubi and the concubine are both in the room...... Since Cheng Chubi took the concubine to see Qin Shou, he came back and bowed to the concubine under the bed.
Soon, Cheng Chubi hurriedly came out of the house, his eyes shining, "Father, what opportunity did you just say?" Also...... What's going on with the 'heart' grain store? β
Cheng Yanjin glanced at him with disdain, "The grain ship of the 'Benxin' grain store has sunk, Qin Shou will definitely not go back, and Your Majesty will not let him go, if you can get this errand, it will be a rare opportunity whether it is in front of Your Majesty or Qin Shou." β
"How dare you be in love!" Cheng Chubi said happily.
Cheng Chubi nodded, "Father, go to Your Majesty now." β
But before he could go out, a person hurriedly walked in, and whispered in Cheng Yanjin's ear: "Master, someone from the military department has sent a message, saying that His Majesty has appointed Fang Yiai as an inspector to examine both sides of the canal.......
"Who?" Cheng Yanjin suddenly felt a toothache when he heard this.
Love?
Cheng Chubi also stood up suddenly, his mind was a little dazed, but he quickly reacted, "No, there must be something wrong with this!" β
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Chubi pondered for a moment and said: "It is impossible for anyone to let Fang Yiai go, unless ....."
"Unless what?"
"Unless this inspector of Fang Yiai's envoy is just a pretense, the main owner is Qin Shou."
After Cheng Chubi finished speaking, he felt unbelievable, and his expression was complicated.
"Shhh
Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "How is it possible?" How could Your Majesty be so confused? How can you not understand the importance of Qin Shou to Datang? How can you get him out? β
"No, I have to enter the palace!"
Lao Cheng left quickly, and said to Cheng Chubi before leaving: "Things that don't come out of nowhere, I don't know what to pay attention to in broad daylight?" β
β......β
Cheng Chubi pursed his lips and said in his heart: When I was a child, weren't you always like this?
.......
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly entered the palace, but suddenly found that the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, the crown prince, Li Tai, Li Ke, and Li Zhi were all there.
They all knelt on the ground, and they were all admonishing.
"Your Majesty, are you going to let Qin Shou go south, such an adventurous move is absolutely unacceptable!" The eldest grandson Wuji knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, why are you still confused back then?" Wei Zheng, the old guy, became a loyal and upright minister at this time, and scolded directly.
Li Shimin was writing, his face was a little ugly when he heard this, he gritted his teeth and just wanted to speak, Li Chengqian and several princes also admonished.
"Father, the son also thinks that he must not let his brother-in-law go south!"
"Father's ,......"
Sure enough, there was no mediocre person present, but when they knew that Fang Yiai would inspect the seat, they guessed the key to this.
Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, looked at them and said faintly: "I ask you, who transports more things than a carriage or a boat?" β
"Naturally, it's a boat!"
Compared with horse-drawn carriages, ships can transport several times or even dozens of times, hundreds of times.
It's just that they don't understand why His Majesty would ask about this.
Li Shimin looked at their eyes and said: "Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, the Grand Canal has been centered on Luoyang, the eastern capital, reaching Zhuo County in the north and Yuhang in the south, with a total length of 2,500 kilometers, connecting the five major water systems of Haihe, Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River. β
"In the sixth year of Zhenguan, I set up the "Boat Bureau" to manage the Cao Zheng, why? Because the southeast is rich, I have always wanted to connect the southeast with Chang'an. β
Everyone nodded, they all knew about it.
Li Shimin continued: "It's a pity, but we can't manage the law, and we feel that it can't make ends meet, and it has little effect, so it was abolished. After all, we still haven't used it, and we're destroying the heavens! β
Cheng Yanjin shook his head, the monk of the second zhang was really confused, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, we are talking about the issue of Qin Shou now, why do you keep talking about Cao Zheng?" β
Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yanjin vigorously.
You can't hold it back?
Being interrupted like this, Li Shimin's heart that wanted to pretend to be forced suddenly faded, and he directly threw the things on the table in front of them and said, "You will know after reading this." β
Well?
Everyone hurriedly picked it up.
I saw that the note read: "The two sides of the strait have set up defense and aid departments, created a program operation law, and military attachΓ©s escorted them....... According to the construction of ships for each section, the training of the soldiers, the establishment of a corresponding reward and punishment system, the commissioner is responsible, and the local governor is also instructed to share his responsibilities....... Improvement of canal facilities ......"
Everyone watched them one by one.
"Whew~"
The more they looked at it, the faster their hearts beat faster, and they looked at the note in front of them, and their hearts were flooded with thousands of huge waves.
Everyone was shocked!
After a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji raised his head and asked Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this is ...... What Qin Shou said? β
"That's right, this is what Qin Shou said about how to renovate the canal and how to establish a transportation and storage system."
"I know what you think, so why did I want to let him out?"
Li Shimin said with a unbearable face: "Qin Shou once said that if Caoyun is properly managed, it is not a problem to transport millions of stone grain a year. β
"In the past, I didn't realize the importance of the Grand Canal, the lifeline of water transportation, but if it was really as Qin Shou said, those large quantities of materials passed through the canal, grain, rice, grain, fruits, poultry, textiles, wood, porcelain, etc., almost all the products of the Tang Dynasty could be sent to Chang'an through the Grand Canal
You can imagine that thousands of boats, the annual grain can reach one million stones, Sun Jianghuai went north, what kind of grand scene should it be? How full will the treasury be then? β
Li Shimin told the affairs and scenes of Cao Yun depicted by Qin Shou.
Cao Yun!
This is what makes Li Shimin really shaken!
What really made Li Shimin make up his mind was that Qin Shou told him that he was going south this time to investigate and see the feasibility of this luck.
Everyone was stunned!
My heart is moving!
Amen couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
It's such a picture that is so desirable!
There was a shock in everyone's minds, and they didn't speak for a long time.
Suddenly, the eldest grandson Wuji knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, even if you let Qin Shou out, you must have a competent person to protect you!" Chen's second son, the eldest grandson, is quite fist-fighting, and is willing to go south with Qin Shou and swear to protect him. β
Cheng bit Jin Da anxiously, glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji with his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the three characters of the minister's family, Cheng Chubi, is also willing to go!" β
This old coward, really fucking fast.
Li Ke also said firmly: "Father, the son has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is also willing to go south!" β
Immediately, they also knelt down and said that they couldn't let Qin Shou have an accident, and they were willing to contribute!
Li Shimin looked at everyone and felt very relieved, "Well, then let Ke'er, the eldest grandson, and Cheng Chubi go with him." β
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi's eyes shrank suddenly when they heard this, Qin Shou went south, and Li Ke accompanied him, and the time was not counted, which couldn't help but make the sense of crisis in their hearts burst out.
In a hurry, Li Chengqian knelt down again and said: "Erchen thinks that this kind of big thing still has to have a veteran to sit in the town, and the minister recommends Hou Junji to lead!" β
Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes flickered, how could he not know the prince's plans, and said lightly, "His Royal Highness the prince, Qin Shou's identity is special, it's better not to let more people know." β
Li Shimin's face also changed suddenly, and his eyes stared at Li Chengqian, "Prince, Hou Junji also knows about Qin Shou's existence?" β
Li Chengqian's heart was horrified!
......
On the banks of the Chanshui River
A small car rocked
After a while, it finally calmed down.
Since his father-in-law knew about the warehouse, Qin Shou and Pei Wanyin switched positions.
"Do you want to go?" Pei Wanyin reluctantly asked Qin Shoudao.
Qin Shou sighed and said, "Hey, it's not okay not to go this time!" β
"Those relatives in the family are shrewd to death, and now that such a big thing has happened, if I don't go, this person's heart will be scattered!" Qin Shou said helplessly.
This coal incident, he obviously felt that this group of relatives didn't want to pay, which made him can't help but make him doubt himself, is it so difficult for the ancients to fool?
Pei Wanyin put her chest on Qin Shou's body, and said coquettishly: "Then if you don't go, what else can they do with you?" β
Qin Shou shook his head and said seriously: "This is a man, you can't be too smart, just leave seven points of intelligence to make a living, leave three points of stupidity and true love for people, don't treat others as fools." β
"If you do a good job, if you don't do a good job, someone will help you, no matter how good things are, if you don't do a good job, it's difficult to get things done."
"Hmm!"
Pei Wanyin didn't object anymore, looking at Qin Shou's face and deepening her affection, isn't that what she admires about him?
