It was early in the morning, but the streets were already full of traffic.

Because it won't be long before the exchange will open, and many shops will already be opened.

Li Chengqian went to buy steamed cakes again, this time he shared half of Xue Rengui, and then began to scold again: "Chen Zhengtai is a lot of harm, Gu must win him, let him know how powerful Gu is." ”

Xue Rengui only lowered his head and nibbled on steamed cakes.

At this time, he missed his eldest brother, and at this moment, the young man's eyes suddenly turned red, and he almost had bitter tears falling.

So he devoured the steamed cake in his mouth and tilted his face up so that the tears in his eyes would not fall.

I think that at the beginning, I followed my eldest brother to eat fragrant and spicy food, how happy those days were, he now wants to eat pork knuckle, chicken, and sweet and sour pork ribs.

I dreamed of the eldest brother last night, the eldest brother killed three suckling pigs, roasted them over slow fire, and put peppercorns and salt, hot and fragrant...... Oh, and the duck soup, which lasted at least all night, and it was so delicious!

The eldest brother doesn't use copper coins to buy things, and he throws out IOUs directly one by one, and he doesn't even have to make change, so chic and handsome.

"Hey, hey, hey...... What are you doing in a daze, look at that man, look at that man, he is coming towards us, put your head down, don't make a sound...... I can't tell...... This person will throw a few copper coins......"

Li Chengqian's voice suddenly pulled Xue Rengui back to reality.

Xue Rengui glanced at Li Chengqian with a look of contempt.

But Li Chengqian lowered his head without hesitation and muttered something in his mouth.

Really...... A woman carrying a basket on her shoulder, as if she had gone out into the street to buy it, came to her face, and then took out two copper coins from her sleeve and clanked them...... The pleasant sound of copper coins came out.

Then the woman turned around and walked away.

Xue Rengui hurriedly reached out to pick up the money.

Li Chengqian clapped his hands: "You idiot, what do you know, don't pick up the money, just put it in front of us, so that others will follow the example when they see the copper coins on the ground, if not...... Who knows what we do. ”

Xue Rengui: "......"

Li Chengqian raised his head, looked at the departing woman, and muttered in a low voice: "This woman has a string of Buddha beads hanging on her hand, have you seen it, it can be seen that she is a person who worships the Buddha, such a person is kind." And you look at her...... The dress, at first glance, is not from a rich family, but ...... I think it's also thin to have some family wealth, and there are ......"

Xue Rengui didn't bother to listen to his analysis one by one, and only said, "Your Highness, we should go find a job to do." ”

Li Chengqian sat cross-legged on the ground, but at the moment he was calm and relaxed, Shi Shiran said: "Sit down first, hey, quickly bow your head, quickly bow your head, see that the pot-bellied person has no ...... He also has a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and he just saw us, and he saw us...... Lower your head, your face is so white that people will show their stuff at a glance. ”

The pot-bellied businessman-like man really walked in front of Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui, paused for a while, and couldn't help but scold: "Ahh But he took out a copper plate and threw it on the ground, and hurried away.

Xue Rengui: "......"

At this time, Li Chengqian sat still like an old monk, his eyes were slightly closed, looking at all kinds of people hurrying by on the street, trying to observe, and suddenly he lowered his voice and said: "Oh, I really want to miss it, let's go, we can't stay here." ”

Xue Rengui said lazily: "Your Highness finally wants to open it, and you are still looking for a job?" ”

Li Chengqian patted his head and looked at him with disdain: "To be a man, you have to use your brain, how can you be the same as your eldest brother?" We shouldn't be here, this place ...... Although it is densely populated, but I thought of a better place to go, yesterday when I walked around, I found that there was a street corner in front of the head, there is a small Buddhist temple, let's go to the Buddha temple to sit in front of the door, in and out of the Buddhist temple are the pilgrims of the temple, even if the flow of people is not as good as here, it is not as lively as here, but there are more people who give money than here, I am too smart, no wonder they have said that I have a peerless posture since childhood. Let's go and clean up. ”

Seeing Li Chengqian walking in front triumphantly, Xue Rengui suddenly had a bad premonition.

At this time...... He missed his big brother even more.

…………

And Chen Zhengtai, who has been cursed many times by Li Chengqian and missed many times by Xue Rengui, is in Zhan Shifu, and he is now so busy every day that his feet do not touch the ground.

Now the entire Zhan Shifu has a dark eye for the future, and almost all of them need Chen Zhengtai to make an idea.

For example, Chen Zhengtai felt that the rate of seven guards was too awkward, so he directly changed it to seven guards, and he didn't bother to add a prefix to the front.

Although on the surface it is said that the number of each guard is 3,000, in fact...... The guards of the East Palace have always been dissatisfied.

One of the factors in this is that if the prince's guard is full, the number of people is too large.

When the crown prince Li Jiancheng was there, the emperor Li Yuan expanded the guards of the East Palace out of the need for checks and balances, and then Li Jiancheng was killed, although these expanded guard rates were retained, the new owner of the East Palace became Li Chengqian, but who in the Zhan Mansion dared to propose to recruit the full prince's guards?

Because of this, in fact, each guard only ranged from 500 to 700 people, and even if the Erpigou hussar guards were added, in fact, it was only less than 3,000 people.

Of course, Chen Zhengtai would not go to Li Shimin and said that he hoped to expand the seven guards.

Although Li Shimin still trusts the prince very much at the moment, and he has no intention of being easy to store, this does not mean that when the emperor is still there, your prince still wants to master twenty or thirty thousand elite soldiers in Chang'an.

But if you want to change, you have to change.

Chen Zhengtai was determined to drive all the old and weak to the left and right Qingdao guards and the left and right commanders, and all the potential officers and soldiers were integrated into the hussar guards, the prince's left guard, and the prince's right guard.

If the number of people cannot be large, then simply follow the direction of the officer corps or noncommissioned officer corps of later generations to tap their potential, and these more than 1,300 people can be trained to become the backbone of the work, and they can be trained in new methods, given them rich provisions, and tested new tactics.

If it is too peaceful, these backbones can defend the Zhan Mansion, and if there is really something in the future, with these more than 1,000 backbones, they can also be rapidly expanded.

Besides...... There is also a need to reform the financial problems of the entire East Palace, as well as the population registration of the Civil Division.

Needless to say, finance is ...... in Datang Although there is also a household registration system, this system is extremely imperfect, and how to be meticulous in the future to ensure that all the farmers and industrialists can be controlled is also a headache.

In addition to his busy schedule, Chen Zhengtai occasionally thinks about the prince.

He knew that the prince was a very stubborn person, and once he gambled with him, he would never easily admit defeat, but Chen Zhengtai still felt that this guy would not last long, after all, such a guy who had been held by everyone since he was a child and didn't know what hard work was, could he survive?

But who would have thought that after seven or eight days, the prince still didn't come back, which surprised Chen Zhengtai!

Something will definitely not happen, with Xue Rengui, Chen Zhengtai is very relieved about Xue Rengui's force value......

But at this time, someone came to the palace and invited the prince and Chen Zhengtai to meet him.

As soon as I heard that I wanted to invite the prince...... Chen Zhengtai was speechless for a while.

At this time, where did he go to find the prince?

He was also calm, cleaned up, and went directly to the palace.

I saw that Li Shimin was sitting with Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing and others at this time.

When Li Shimin saw Chen Zhengtai coming, he smiled and said, "What...... How many days has the prince been missing? ”

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "Teacher, the prince is in charge of the affairs of Zhan Shifu, it can be said that there are many opportunities for the day, at this time...... It just so happened to be not in the East Palace. ”

"What are the best opportunities?" Li Shimin was a little unconvinced.

He knows the prince's temperament, and he is a person who can't be idle, if everyone says that Li Tai has a lot of opportunities, Li Shimin believes it, but what is Li Chengqian......

It's just that in front of other people, Li Shimin still smiled: "Hmm...... Just now...... I talked to a few Qing family about this Zhan Shi Mansion, Fang Qing's family ......"

Chen Zhengtai noticed Fang Xuanling in detail, and he seemed to have a new wound on his face.

However, although there is color on his face, Fang Xuanling can always put on a calm appearance of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing his color.

He only smiled slightly, and owed to Li Shimin: "Yes, Chen Zhanshi, the old man heard about your Zhan Shifu...... However, there was a big commotion, so that the hundreds of officials in the court and the scholars of the world were all talking about it, and it was boiling and lively. ”

The matter of Zhan Shifu has long been spread outside.

Now who doesn't know that the crown prince is fooling around, but given the attitude in the palace, many people speculate that this is the result of His Majesty's connivance.

At least in the eyes of many people, Li Gang was excluded by Chen Zhengtai, and Li Gong is a figure admired by many scholars, especially in Kanto and Jiangnan, many people respect him very much.

Thus...... Many people took advantage of the tossing of the Zhan Mansion to create public opinion, scolding everything.

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said: "This is all because of the prince's filial piety, the prince hopes to share his worries for his teacher, so he does something in Zhan Shifu." ”

Fang Xuanling didn't think that this was just a mess between the prince and Chen Zhengtai, and what annoyed him was that many officials in Zhan Shifu actually followed Chen Zhengtai to toss blindly.

Of course...... Fang Xuanling is different from others, he is the prime minister, he is cautious in everything he says and does, but he is not as troublesome as other ministers in the DPRK and China.

Fang Xuanling thought in his heart, this Chen Zhengtai is a person who is not willing to be lonely, and today ...... You can test it.

So he said slowly: "The old man and His Majesty are discussing the affairs in the desert, Chen Zhan's matter is just right, Your Majesty and the old man, as well as General Li Jing, want to hear your advice." ”
