Obviously, Li Shimin couldn't find these allusions, and he decided not to pay attention to these inconsequential details.

So he continued to stroke the case, but the beat stopped suddenly.

Then he stared at Chen Zhengtai and said slowly: "It's just that this Tuli has been attached to my Datang, and now there is no guilt, if I do it to him, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate." ”

Li Shimin's perspective and the pros and cons of weighing are obviously different from Chen Zhengtai's.

For Chen Zhengtai, he believes that only by taking the initiative can he try his best to avoid possible losses.

But Li Shimin is the Son of Heaven, but he looks at the overall situation, even if this Tuli must rebel, sooner or later he will be the enemy of Datang, but Tuli is attached, which is a matter known to the world, before the other party did not choose to rebel, Datang rashly moved, so in the future, who else will surrender to Datang?

On the surface, now taking advantage of the lack of preparation of the Turki Khan, he can directly attack the Turks and obtain immediate benefits, but in the long run, the Tang Dynasty will attack everywhere and will inevitably encounter stubborn resistance.

For Li Shimin, Tuli is just a benchmark, this kind of benchmark stays here, let people know the bearing of Datang, as long as this person does not openly rebel, he will definitely not do anything to him easily.

Chen Zhengtai listened to Li Shimin's words, in fact, he also quite understood, he just wanted to try his luck, maybe Li Shimin's brain was pumped and he would help him teach Tuli a lesson?

In this way, Shuofang's current crisis will be resolved.

Obviously, Li Shimin is so sensible!

Li Shimin then said: "Can this princess's mansion be built?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Father, it has been built seven or eight times. ”

"So fast?" Li Shimin looked a little surprised.

How long has it been?

Chen Zhengtai said very naturally: "As long as the money is given, there is nothing unpleasant about such a thing as engineering." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, what he said was ...... But isn't the most lacking thing in the world money? If you have money...... Do you need to say it?

Li Shimin thought of something, and then said: "According to the etiquette system, in fact, you should accompany the princess to the princess's mansion, but now the situation in the grassland is different, so you don't have to go." But I want to go and see, you always say how presumptuous the Tuli Khan, he dares to do this, probably because there is less beating on weekdays, I went to Shuofang, and see if he dares to do this. ”

I saw that between Li Shimin's words, he looked forward to his self-pride, and his whole body was full of a bit of convincing charm.

I think that at the beginning, when the Turks entered Guanzhong, Li Shimin dared to go to meet him alone, and his courage was incomparable to ordinary people.

This Tuli Khan, in Li Shimin's eyes, is just a rookie.

This seemed to turn a little fast, and Chen Zhengtai was surprised: "Your Majesty wants to go to Shuofang?" ”

"Why not?" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back: "What I am looking forward to most now is to take the test, now, what I value most is the test, but the test has just begun, for more than a year, I and the Chen family have spent so much money in Shuofang, shouldn't I go and see?" You always say that you have passed through the grassland, and that it has achieved results, so how can I not go to see it? ”

Chen Zhengtai said embarrassedly: "The imperial court brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers to deter this Turk. ”

Li Shimin only smiled and nodded, then changed the topic and said: "This matter will not be pressed for the time being, let's talk about it when the time is ripe, what I value is still talents after all, how can I rule the world alone?" In the school, I heard that there are many people who want to enroll? ”

"Yes." Chen Zhengtai replied honestly: "There are more than 2,000 people who have signed up this autumn, which is too many, and the manpower of the university hall is still far from enough, so I am afraid that at most 1,000 people will be recruited first." ”

"That's enough." Li Shimin was pleased: "Royal University Hall ......"

He muttered, as if he had something on his mind.

Chen Zhengtai didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, but after seeing him chatter, he stopped talking and simply didn't guess. Anyway, it's already a father-in-law, what else?

Recently, Chen Zhengtai found that he was lazy, and he even became more casual when he slapped the horse, but this kind of thing, don't be deliberate, the sycophant is natural, and the magic hand is even good.

It's just that after discussing the matter, the two of them stared at each other, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.

Between each other, I'm afraid that they are all thinking about something embarrassing!

Li Shimin finally shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, you can step down." ”

Chen Zhengtai looked forward to his words, so he saluted and said, "The son of the minister retires." ”

Immediately turned around and walked away very simply.

Chen Zhengtai left the palace, but he was not in a hurry to go home, but first arrived at the camp of the wooden rail project.

I heard that it is quite lively here, and thousands of laborers are practicing all day long, and they are idle anyway.

Chen Zhengye suddenly heard that Chen Zhengtai was coming, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Chen Zhengtai was not verbose: "You don't have to have so many rules, go in and have a look." ”

Chen Zhengye looked uneasy in his heart, and was busy leading Chen Zhengtai in.

These are all simple barracks, in fact, the accommodation conditions are not good, of course, it is impossible to expect too good conditions, after all, once the customs start construction, it is inevitable to suffer a lot.

And these people are just here to earn wages, and this bit of hardship is still suffering.

At this time, it was noon, and three or four thousand people were densely packed, and they were still standing under the scorching sun, not moving at all.

Chen Zhengtai was taken aback and couldn't help asking, "How long have they been standing against the sun?" ”

Chen Zhengye said cautiously: "It's been an hour and a half, the standard here is to get up early in the morning, run a few miles in the morning, and then eat, and then eat, and occupy a queue for two hours in the morning, at noon, after eating, after a break, then practice marching, and now I have been practicing for nearly a month, and I finally have a little appearance......"

He looked frightened, for fear that Chen Zhengtai would say something bad.

Chen Zhengtai was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped: "Didn't I say let you practice?" People are here to work, not to join the army. ”

Chen Zhengye: "......"

Chen Zhengtai didn't expect Chen Zhengye to toss to this point.

But from Chen Zhengye's point of view, it's a different matter.

You send people to dig coal at every turn, and often don't recognize your relatives, although I Chen Zhengye is a cousin, but I have such a terrible experience, of course, I am afraid of you.

And you are moody on weekdays, but now you have explained one thing, saying that you should practice according to this method.

Well, just take it for a while.

But the problem is, who knows how long and what kind of time you have been?

And who knows, what if I really just practiced and turned my head and didn't understand your intentions, and you were furious?

Therefore, the safest way is to practice to the death, and there will always be nothing wrong with practicing every day.

If I provoke your cousin, I Chen Zhengye will definitely die. And tossing these craftsmen and laborers, although it may provoke public anger, but it is a big deal, when the time comes, raise the budget a little, give everyone a little money, and you can always appease people.

The people who work in the Chen family are all well paid, and with this, there will be no chaos.

But where did Chen Zhengye think that the meaning of Chen Zhengtai's words now felt that the practice was too much.

He had no choice but to laugh dryly: "This ...... It's not good for me, I'm ......"

Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to shake his head: "Well, right now, the construction will start soon, and everyone's energy will still be on the project, but ...... If you want to ensure everyone's safety, it is important to be able to prohibit it so as not to make any mistakes, which is not bad. It's just that next time, don't be like this, everyone has wives and children, and it's just a part-time job, and what will become of you when you get under your hands. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and saw that these people were all standing upright.

Almost all the things he explained, all of them were carried out to the letter, not only that, but it could even be said that it was completely excessive, the standard he set was a neat queue, and here, even between the shoulders, it was a straight line, there was not the slightest mistake, thousands of people were already sweating under the sun, but they were all unmoving, like a rock.

Chen Zhengtai immediately walked in front of a smaller person.

This person's face has been exposed to the sun, although his face can vaguely see a little childish, but in terms of skin color, there is a lot more old skin, and on his dark cheeks, it is no longer possible to distinguish his actual age.

However, his spirit was very good, and he didn't dare to move his eyes, so Chen Zhengtai stared at him, which made him a little nervous, and he could obviously feel his breathing start to speed up.

Chen Zhengtai said: "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Chen Zhengqin!"

Chen Zhengqin......

Chen Zhengtai looked weird: "It's also the Chen family?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Zhengtai said in surprise: "Chen family, why did you come here?" ”

Chen Zhengqin trembled with fright, his body trembled, and his eyes were full of fear.

In fact...... He came here through the back door.

Sure enough, Chen Zhengye stood behind Chen Zhengtai and became frightened.

Chen Zhengqin is indeed a son of the Chen family.

Originally, according to the rules, the children of the Chen family were sent to the coal yard when they became adults.

It stands to reason that Chen Zhengqin should be in a certain mine at this time.

Of course, he was lucky, because he and Chen Zhengye belonged to the same team, and heard that Chen Zhengye began to recruit people to build wooden rails, and the shortage of manpower was particularly large, Chen Zhengqin's father and mother tried their best to find Chen Zhengye, hoping that his son could join the engineering team.

In their opinion, although it is hard to join the engineering team, it is better than digging coal.

But who knows, Chen Zhengtai suddenly appeared, and he came to him so coincidentally to ask such a question, but he couldn't answer, and he couldn't say that he went through the back door.

Chen Zhengye was also frightened, he was afraid that Chen Zhengtai would be angry!

So he immediately said: "That's the case, when recruiting people, there was a shortage of manpower, this Chen Zhengqin is a rising star, and he was supposed to be assigned to the Juxian coal yard, but the gap in manpower is too big, so ...... And they begged him. Although he is a child of the Chen family, he has not received much care, and his daily training has never been interrupted......"

Chen Zhengye desperately explained.

I thought that Chen Zhengtai would be furious, but Chen Zhengtai's expression was surprisingly flat!

He only smiled and said, "I see." ”

said and patted Chen Zhengqin on the shoulder: "My favorite is a brother like you, just be willing to endure hardships, practice hard here, and don't embarrass our Chen family when you go out in the future." ”

Chen Zhengqin nodded busily as the chick pecked the rice.

Chen Zhengtai relieved his heart at the moment, and Chen Zhengye also breathed a sigh of relief silently!

When the time came, when it was time for dinner, everyone disbanded, and went to get their own lunch boxes and get their meals.

These people were already exhausted after a morning of training, but fortunately, they had slowly gotten used to it, and this morning's hard work had already been starved on their chests and backs, so they went to the canteen one after another.

Chen Zhengtai personally went to the canteen for a walk, the food in this canteen is not bad, 3,000 people, ten pigs, eight sheep, and 50 chickens are killed every day, and other vegetables and fruits are also available.

Chen Zhengye obviously worked hard in this food, there was no way, if he couldn't even eat well, then someone would really have to work hard.

Chen Zhengtai is also quite satisfied in his heart, but there are some firearms craftsmen, also stationed here, sometimes these people practice, craftsmen need to check the situation of firearms, after all, this thing has just been tossed out, quite unstable, need to be improved at any time according to the feedback of users.

At present, there are more than 2,000 firearms in the firearms workshop, which was originally thought to be able to supply the army, but the army refused to ask for it, so naturally, it was sent directly here. As for gunpowder and projectiles, they are enough.

To tell the truth, Chen Zhengtai doesn't know much about firearms, but he just knows the general principle, and the batch of firearms manufactured at the beginning is not ideal in many aspects, so he can only hope for slow improvement.

In the afternoon, Chen Zhengtai returned home in a four-wheeled carriage.

At this time, Princess Sui'an was looking at the book intently in the account room, and in the past few days, she had worked hard to calculate the accounts, and finally figured out the Chen family's background.

Some of the Chen family's account offices, seeing that the new housewife was young and golden, originally thought that this housewife was just here to mean something and make a show, so they didn't pay much attention to it, but soon, they found out...... This housewife is real, and she quickly knows everything inside and out.

This morning, an account office was directly dismissed, and as soon as the people were dismissed, a messenger from Yongzhou came to the door and took the people away.

All of a sudden, there were more whispers in the house, and in the eyes of people, this housewife was obviously a very 'powerful' woman.

At this time, people began to gradually realize that this housewife is not simple.

In fact, Princess Sui'an acted very simply, she only knew that this family needed to be well managed, she was the housemother, so she had to manage the family, and she had to manage every account and trivial matter at home.

In this world, everything is afraid of being serious, and this seriousness, not to mention that there is a basis for managing accounts on weekdays, naturally, many mistakes were discovered at once.
