However, now Li Shimin is the city guard of Youzhou, managing all the things of the city guard mansion, and he is already a person in a high position, and he is no longer the person who puts forward ideas and waits for his father's decision in front of Tang Guogong.

Now Li Shimin is already a big man sitting on one side, don't look at the city lord's mansion is not in charge of military affairs, but the big and small things in the sixteen states of Youji need to be asked to him, and realistically the sphere of influence of the sixteen states of Youji is much larger than that of a Taiyuan Mansion.

Facing anyone will no longer make him afraid, and his mentality towards his father has also changed.

This may be the difference Li Yuan feels.

"Daddy, don't worry, let them do this kind of trivial thing, let's go to the hall to rest."

Li Yuan found that Li Xiuning seemed to be a different person here, and then he saw it just now, and the people who worked were all men.

"Husband, Daddy is in such a hurry, he must be thirsty, go get some sour plum soup." Li Xiuning instructed Li De, who had just come in from the gate.

Li Yuan's eyelids twitched at that time, what was the situation, when did his daughter know the general situation so much, if people heard what kind of system, he suddenly felt that his face was lost.

Li Xiuning is used to it, Li De is beautiful outside, and there are not so many estimates at home, she knows very well that even when she is outside, Li De doesn't like the people around her to be restrained.

So it's often pretending, and now there is really no sense of pretending at home.

Li Yuan didn't know about the Li family, so his face became so dark.

Li Xiuning may have sensed her nearby face, and hurriedly explained: "Daddy doesn't know, this kind of thing has always been like this at home. ”

Li Yuan is even more blindfolded, what does it mean to be like this consistently.

"Husband, my in-laws are here, why don't you prepare some chilled sour plum soup."

Li Yuan really listened to it, but this time it was the eldest lady of the Li family who told Li An to do it, and said in his heart that this Li family's family style is really unacceptable.

He is a hero-like character, and he won't say much when he sees this kind of thing, and today he knows that it can't be explained by common sense even if it is related to Li De's kid.

Ready to see.

"Hahaha, Brother Li doesn't have to be polite, to be honest, your kid's barbecue skills are really good, and people are even smarter, and now it is Youzhou City Guard who manages all kinds of things in Youzhou Sixteen Prefectures, which is amazing, don't my family, those stinky boys who can only dance knives and sticks are too strong."

Pei Renji is telling the truth, it is indeed not the truth, Pei Qingxuan is Li De's eldest lady, and the Pei family brothers are now also leading the Pei family's heavily armored iron cavalry, and their combat power is similar to that of the Tiger Ben's personal guards, and they usually act bravely in battle but are very low-key.

Li Yuan doesn't know these things, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, Li Xiuning will naturally explain it, and by the way, he is praising the brave military exploits of the Pei family brothers and being low-key.

In a few words, Pei Gong became proud.

Through the conversation, Li Yuan also learned some things, and several people kept chatting about things when they were preparing to eat, and Li Xiuning was very smart and kept helping his father explain some things.

Most of them are about Youzhou City.

Soon, Li Yuan also had a preliminary understanding of some things, such as the strength of the Youzhou soldiers, what 400,000 soldiers and horses, in fact, through what Li Xiuning said just now, the Youzhou soldiers had already reached 500,000.

Even Tang Guogong, who had great military exploits, was extremely surprised.

"Youzhou's 500,000 soldiers and horses are still standing, so many people's food and grass will consume a huge amount." Li Yuan is really difficult to figure out how Youzhou supports the operation of these soldiers and horses.

You must know that the imperial court conscription is based on the government military system, and it will be recruited when there is a war, and if there is no war, go back to farm, even if the imperial court needs to consume a lot of materials for each assembly, once or twice, if there are more wars, the imperial court's treasury may be exhausted.

Looking at the 500,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, they are still on standing, that is, whether they fight or not, they have to train every day, and how much financial and material resources are needed for such soldiers and horses to be able to organize.

As for Li Yuan's doubts, in fact, anyone would be curious.

"It's just money." Li Xiuning said.

Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, who wouldn't say a word lightly, Li Xiuning said casually but very seriously, and he couldn't help but believe it.

He simply didn't say much, and planned to talk to Li Xiuning alone later.

After chatting for about half an hour, the barbecue was served.

There are not only Li Shimin's barbecue, but also Li De's own fried dishes.

When everyone was together, they didn't forget to introduce the children of the family to Li An, and let everyone get to know each other, such as Li De, Li Ying, especially Li Yang is usually very low-key, and now he is responsible for the finances of the city guard.

And the lord of Yujun was also present today and was on the side of the Li family.

Li Yuan was not surprised to see it, because Li De's wife was really a princess, and now there was a county lord.

"Congratulations to Brother Li, the old man didn't know that Lord Yu also married into your Li family."

Li An didn't explain much, they all tacitly understood the affairs of the lord of Yujun, but his son seemed to be a little stubborn, but this kind of thing was said by his wife, and everyone agreed, but there was no official door, and it was always unjustifiable to be said.

"Let Brother Li smile." Li An can only deal with it, after all, there is still a link to pass through the door, and it is not easy to publicize, after all, marrying a daughter is not such a simple thing for people like the king of the backer.

Li Yuan saw that Li An acquiesced, and he thought of what Laihu'er told him when he was at sea, and now the people of the Northwest Soldiers are also wanted by the imperial court and have become rebels.

Now when I think about the Jade County Lord, it is not surprising.

"What a blessing." Li Yuan thought to himself.

What Li Yuan thought of was that the number of soldiers and horses in Youzhou had just been mentioned, and now counting the Northwest soldiers, these strengths alone would be enough to compete with the imperial court.

After the family feast, the three heads of the family sat together separately to discuss things.

Li Yuan has always known that Li An and Pei Renji are standing together, and the strength of the two families is already inseparable, and the two of them have some temptations for him in the chat just now, which obviously means that they want to invite him.

"Tang Gong, I don't know what to do next?" Ang Lee asked directly.

The name of this matter has changed, and this is a signal that it is their own people who call themselves brothers, and they all know this.

Li Yuan had already made a decision, he would not be tied up with these two, at least not now.

The reason is very simple, if the three families stand together, then they will all be Li De's help, and Li Yuan's ambition is not limited to this, he only sees that the Youzhou soldiers are strong, but he still wants to dominate the world.

"I won't hide it from you, Taiyuan Mansion is mine, I won't give up at all, and I'll leave after the soldiers and horses are repaired."

Li Yuan didn't hide it, and there was not much need for the three of them to talk about something vain.
