Chapter 871: Smarter Than I Thought
Leng Feng noticed Tang Jin's restraint, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "I know that you are very confused, just be confused, the water in the court is very deep, but as long as you decide to follow Cheng Qian, you will be fine." ”
Tang Jin nodded, the crown prince is the future emperor, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong with following the prince.
Li Chengqian asked, "Master, do you think that if I leave Chang'an temporarily, will there be any problems?" ”
"Leaving Chang'an? Why are you going? ”
As soon as the question was asked, Leng Feng understood that if Li Chengqian wanted to leave Chang'an, he could only go to Jiucheng Palace to visit his father and queen mother.
Fang Xuanling shook his head again and again: "No, there must be a person in charge in the court, Your Majesty is not here, you, as the crown prince, must sit in the court." Unless it is a trip and accompanied by hundreds of officials, it is not possible. ”
And all the officials went to the Jiucheng Palace, and it was impossible to think about it.
Li Chengqian had no choice but to give up this idea.
After a while, a palace maid came in and reported that the restaurant had prepared a banquet and invited the three of them to eat.
Li Chengqian's chef still has some skills, although the dishes are very simple, but the taste is very full.
After eating a full meal, Leng Feng said to Li Chengqian: "Tomorrow, you can arrange Tang Jin to go to the military department to train for a period of time." Although he was already a general of Sipin Zhongwu, he still didn't know much about the various parts of the imperial court. After a period of training in the military department, you can also get used to it. ”
Li Chengqian nodded, if Tang Jin didn't fight himself, he wouldn't have a chance even if he wanted to arrange him. And now that Tang Jin's grade has reached the fourth grade, it is enough to enter the military department as a squire.
"Then I'll arrange for him to be the right attendant, just right, Master, you may also think that the current right attendant is more and more eyesore."
Leng Feng smiled slightly: "Let's transfer Zuo Shilang out, I think the eldest grandson is very good." ”
The people who came into the Changsun family in the military department, Leng Feng still minded at first. But since Changsun Yue took office, he was also afraid of being picked on by Leng Feng, so he did his best in everything he did, and never dared to be lazy. And the eldest grandson Wuji also knows the official affairs of the Ministry of War at most. As for the most secret ones, even the soldiers have no right to contact them.
When Li Chengqian saw the master smiling, he knew that the eldest grandson Yue would not have any impact on the master.
The position of a soldier was finalized by the two masters and apprentices, and then as long as the officials were notified, Tang Jin could take office.
Tang Jin's current status has reached the top of the court. Only when he reaches this position can Leng Feng rest assured that he will gradually become the leader of the next generation of the military.
It is foreseeable that with Fang Xuanling's retirement, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Ji and others will also follow.
When the time comes, whether it is a civilian team or a military general, there will be vacant positions at the high level.
Half of these positions will be for graduates of the Liberal Arts Academy.
Fang Xuanling burped, and then said to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, after the road repair is arranged, the old minister will also go to Jiucheng Palace." ”
Li Chengqian said: "Is the prime minister so anxious? ”
Fang Xuanling went to Jiucheng Palace, except for visiting Li Shimin, and there was only one thing left to do about stepping down.
Fang Xuanling smiled: "Enough, the old man's life is exciting enough." In the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the old man experienced it, and the old man also experienced the difficulties of the early years of Wude and Zhenguan. Not to mention that now Datang has survived the world's attack on Tang and is moving forward on a better road. At this point, what else does the old man have to regret? For the rest of his life, the old man is ready to live for himself, and isn't it beautiful to find something he likes to do? ”
Looking at the frank Fang Xuanling, Li Chengqian could only nod.
Although Fang Xuanling has no health problems now, if an old man like him wants to retire, he can't force him to stay.
Leng Feng said to Fang Xuanling: "On the day you leave office, if you have a banquet upstairs in the world, I will give you a free order." ”
"Hahahaha, it's okay!"
In laughter, Fang Xuanling stood up and said goodbye to Li Chengqian.
He wants to go back to Zhongshu Province to deal with the matter of road repair, and he has worked hard all his life, and the road repair project will be his last job, and he will implement it perfectly, and then retire.
When Li Shimin proposed this project, he ordered the prefectures and counties around Chang'an to explore the terrain on their own, draw the route, and carry out preliminary preparations.
Just as Li Chengqian said before, the people responded enthusiastically, and the roads that should be leveled have been leveled, and even the mountains that should be opened and the bridges that should be built have been prepared or are being prepared. All they lack is cement.
Cement is still not popular, although Hao Wencai and the imperial court have not stopped fires, but cement is still a rare thing for the people, and they can't even afford to build houses.
Fang Xuanling sent the first batch of road repair lines to the eldest grandson Wuji. Now the eldest grandson Wuji is the head of the household, and the transfer of treasury money must be approved by him.
"Zhao Guogong, Fang Xiang is really a lion's mouth! All the villages between Chang'an and Luoyang must be connected to each other. With such a huge project, the reserves of our treasury can be directly bottomed out. ”
In the lobby of the household department, Chu Suiliang took Fang Xuanling's official document and kept complaining to the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji raised his head and said expressionlessly: "What's the hurry, they are spending the money of the treasury, and it is not yours." Don't worry, the prince has been prepared for a long time, you see what this is. ”
After speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji took out another piece of paper.
Chu Suiliang took it and swept it, and then said incredulously: "This Hao Wencai is really willing to reduce his profits and sell cement to the imperial court?" In this case, in this project, he will lose a lot of money! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji pouted: "Loss? How can a businessman lose money to the extent of Hao Wencai. If the old man's expectation is good, he plans to reduce the price of cement and start to take the quantity route. ”
Although cement is expensive, it is famous for its sturdiness, and even if an ordinary earth dragon turns over, it cannot make the cement wall collapse. The reason why people don't use cement is because they can't afford it. But if the price of cement is reduced, then the people who have families in Datang will set off a wave of building cement houses.
Hao Wencai, who is at the cusp of this wave, will only make a lot of money.
Even if the scale of his own factory is not as large as that of the imperial court.
If he guessed correctly, the court will not only not empty the treasury when it comes to building roads, but will be able to make a profit.
Looking in the direction of the East Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but murmur, "Are these all calculated by you?" Cheng Qian, you are much smarter than I thought! ”
