Chapter 474 Bragging
Chapter 474 Li Chengqian sat here with Qin Huaidao for a while, and then left, today he specially sent those prey over, and the other is to sit with Qin Huaidao, thank him for his help today,
After Qin Huaidao got up the next day, he wanted to go hunting, but Li Shimin said before that he would let him accompany him, but there was no way, Qin Huaidao had no choice but to go, and when he got there, he still accompanied Li Shimin to drink tea, chat, and brag.
"If you don't believe it, I'll build a bridge over the Wei River, pedestrians don't need money, and vehicles pass through a copper plate, guaranteed to make money!" Qin Huaidao sat there and spoke.
"Impossible, the Wei River has crossed the river for more than 50 battles, how to repair the bridge, don't bluff your father!" Li Shimin said categorically to Qin Huaidao.
"Father, if we make a bet and give me 10,000 yuan, you see that I will repair this bridge, and I will prepare to go back, there is no water now, I will start repairing it now!" Qin Huaidao sat there, drinking tea, and said with great certainty.
"Okay, it's okay, 10,000 yuan, it's repaired, my father will reward you with 10,000 acres of fertile land, I know that your kid likes fertile land!" Li Shimin heard it and immediately said.
"It's so decided, I'll go back and repair it, anyway, it won't take long, and before the flood season next year, it will definitely be repaired, my father is optimistic, when the time comes, it is estimated that I will be able to receive a few times a day, and I will be able to return to the capital in a few years!" Qin Huaidao sat there and said affirmatively.
"Cheng, my father is waiting! If this bridge is repaired, all the big rivers will have to be repaired in the future, and the traffic will be convenient at that time! Li Shimin said happily. Then Qin Huaidao and Li Shimin continued to blow, drinking tea, bragging, and the day passed quickly.
The next day, after Qin Huaidao came out of Li Li's tent, he wanted to sleep back, but he felt that he had only been asleep for a long time, so Wang En came to call.
"What's wrong?" Qin Huaidao looked at Wang En and asked.
"Hu Guogong, Your Majesty is looking for you, saying why didn't you go today, did you go hunting, let the little one come and have a look!" Wang En said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Yo, I overslept, I laughed at the bridge last night, and I thought it was almost dawn!" Qin Huaidao immediately patted his head, hurriedly washed, and went to the greenhouse side, to the greenhouse side, the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu, Li Jing, and Cheng Yanjin were all there.
"I've seen my father!" Qin Huaidao went over and saluted and said.
"Father thought you were going hunting, why are you so late, what are you busy with?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said, stood up at the same time, got out of the way, and asked Qin Huaidao to make tea.
"No, thinking about building the bridge, I forgot it, my father atoned for his sins!" Qin Huaidao immediately said to Li Shimin.
"It's okay, I know you're serious!" Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand and said, while Qin Huaidao sat down and began to make tea for them.
"Repair the bridge, what kind of bridge to repair, can the Ministry of Engineering repair the bridge still need Peping to do it?" Li Jing looked at Li Shimin a little strangely and asked.
"To repair the bridge of the Weishui River, Peping said that he wanted to build a bridge across the river, I don't believe it, he has to say that it can be done, and it can be repaired with 10,000 yuan!" Li Shimin said to those ministers with a smile.
"How is it possible, the Weishui River has started to cross the river for 50 battles, and it is impossible to build a bridge! If it was a little narrower, it would still be possible, but how could it be so wide? Xiao Yu immediately said that it was impossible.
"I mean, you're starting to brag too? Also build bridges? Cheng Yanjin also stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Hehe, the previous Weishui River, are bridges of small branch rivers, want to go to the other side, either detour about 100 miles, or take a ferry, very troublesome, I want to build a bridge from Chang'an directly to the other bank, so it is very convenient, and those materials can be quickly transported to the rest of the country!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile to Cheng Yanjin.
"Impossible, 50 battles across the river!" Li Jing touched his beard and said.
"It's okay, I made a bet with him, if it can be repaired, I will reward him with 10,000 acres of land, if it is not repaired, it doesn't matter, anyway, I just want to see what others will say about him after Qin Huaidao's bragging fails!" Li Shimin said to everyone with a smile, and Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin with resentment.
"You know what? He also said that people can fly in an airplane in the sky, an hour is thousands of miles, and what kind of car can be more than a hundred miles in an hour, is it possible? The horses aren't that fast, and this kid is starting to brag now, so I have to thwart his bragging! Li Shimin sat there and spoke.
"Father, what the son said is true!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and said seriously.
"I said Peping, you don't mix with those boys in my family, they have no boundaries to brag, you are, even more boundless." Cheng Yanjin looked at Qin Huaidao and said with a smile, and several other people also laughed.
"Hey, wait, I'm going to get you out of the bridge so you can see it!" Qin Huaidao was so depressed, I don't know what's going on these days, I sat with Li Shimin and chatted, I didn't have anything to talk about, just talked about the plane and train,
Li Shimin didn't believe it, and said that he was bragging, but Qin Huaidao still believed that he could build the bridge, anyway, the current bridge does not need to be very load-bearing, and there must be no problem in repairing it.
"Well, let's fix it, don't say that my father didn't give you a chance, 10,000 yuan, I will give it to you, let you fix it! My father has money, and there are hundreds of thousands of dollars lying on his account, and he has never been rich, by the way, Peping, you promised your father that you would build a palace for your father later this year, and there are no months left for the New Year, when do you want your father to go? Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Uh~ forgot!" When Qin Huaidao heard this, he touched his head, he really forgot about this matter.
"You, will you fix it?" When Li Shimin heard this, he was so angry that he actually forgot about it.
"Yes, father, the sons and daughters are really busy and forget, and you didn't say it later, and the sons didn't dare to mention it, if this is mentioned, those ministers won't impeach me to death, let Your Majesty repair the palace, waste money?" Qin Huaidao immediately looked at Li Shimin and said.
"My own money, not the money of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is my internal money, who dares to say?" Li Shimin glared at Qin Huaidao and said emphatically.
"This, Erchen doesn't know, anyway, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money, some time ago, Uncle Tang came to me to borrow money, and he already owed us 300,000 yuan before, but he didn't pay it back, and now he still comes to borrow money!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"No money? The Ministry of Civil Affairs has a very high income this year, how is it possible? Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"I don't know about this son, and the son-in-law is not from the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Qin Huaidao shook his head with a smile and said.
"No, I have to ask after I go back, what's going on, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money every year, and today's tax revenue has increased by at least 1 million yuan, how can there be no money?" When Li Shimin heard this, he pondered for a while and said.
"The Ministry of Civil Affairs has spent a lot of money this year, and has built a lot of post stations, and the previous post stations are already very old, and this year still needs to prepare for next year's disaster relief, so it has cost a lot, and the tax money has not yet been collected, and it will take ten days to transport it, right?" The eldest grandson Wuji sat there and said, he was familiar with the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
"Oh, that's pretty much it!" Li Shimin nodded reassuringly, then looked at Qin Huaidao and asked, "When will my palace be repaired?" ”
"I'll fix it when I go back!" Qin Huaidao said seriously.
"It's pretty much the same, my father still thinks you won't fix it!" Li Shimin stared and nodded, while the eldest grandson Wuji and Xiao Yu looked at Qin Huaidao with envy, Li Shimin also trusted Qin Huaidao too much,
This trust is something that other ministers can't enjoy, if Qin Huaidao clearly stands by the side of a certain prince, then the possibility of this prince becoming the future emperor is too great.
The eldest grandson Wuji was a little relieved in his heart, he knew the relationship between Qin Huaidao and the prince, it was okay, he didn't know if it was good or not, but he knew that it was definitely not bad,
And Xiao Yu also knew that if Qin Huaidao was asked to support King Wu, then the position of the crown prince would be nine out of ten, and it was very likely to pull Li Chengqian down, but now, it was difficult to convince Qin Huaidao, not just that their generals would not stand in line,
It was Qin Huaidao's father, who was against the Sui Dynasty back then, Qin Huaidao must have been worried that once Li Ke ascended the throne, he would retaliate, Li Ke gave Qin Huaidao any guarantee, Qin Huaidao would not believe it, no one would believe in the promise of an emperor. At noon, Qin Huaidao ate in the conservatory,
In the afternoon, those ministers left, Qin Huaidao continued to chat with Li Shimin, or Li Shimin was reading, Qin Huaidao sat there, holding the drawings and drawing. Li Shimin also came over to take a look, but he couldn't understand it.
asked what it was, Qin Huaidao spoke about the drawings of the palace, Li Shimin didn't care, anyway, he didn't understand it, and handed it over to Qin Huaidao, rest assured,
In the next few days, Qin Huaidao chatted with Li Shimin in the greenhouse, and he didn't go hunting, he came to hunt twice, but he didn't go out.
At night, most of them sleep in Li Lizhi's room, and they have to run out in the morning.
This morning, Qin Huaidao and the others began to pack their things and prepare to go back, Qin Huaidao also commanded the soldiers at home to pack up their things.
When they returned to Chang'an, it was already afternoon, and the housekeepers had also prepared the people who worked at home, and the prey was brought back and had to be dealt with immediately.
"Master, this trip has a lot of prey, the master has worked hard!" Li Lixian stood there, watching the prey being moved down, and said happily.
"Believe it or not, I didn't hit a single head, master!" Qin Huaidao turned his head and looked at Li Lixian helplessly and said. When Li Lixian heard this, she looked at Qin Huaidao puzzled.
"Your father, let me accompany him for seven days, seven days, catch me every day to go to the warm house to chat, don't let me go hunting, some of these prey are sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, some are sent by his father, and some are sent by Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi, especially knowing that you want fox skins, they have sent a lot, it is estimated that it is enough." Qin Huaidao stood there and said with a wry smile, he had hunted twice, but he had never gone out to hunt.
