"Haha, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Cheng Yanjin walked into the imperial study and laughed a few times, which shook the books in the hall! Li Shimin was obviously used to Cheng Biting Jin's voice, rubbed his ears and said with a bitter smile: "You have just been out of the palace for less than an hour, what good news do you have to inform me?" ”。 Cheng Yanjin clasped his fists with both hands and said: "It can solve my Tang horse trouble!" Li Shimin stood up with a bang, stared at Cheng Yanjin and said, "Is Zhijie's words true?" ”。

"Your Majesty, the minister brought a horse, which is now outside the palace, and I ask Your Majesty to order it to be brought to the palace, Your Majesty will know it when you see it!"

"Someone, go and lead the horses!"

As soon as Li Shimin heard that there was a way to solve the horse trouble, he gave an order at that time, Cheng Yanjin has followed him for so many years, it can be said that no one knows this old guy better than himself, sometimes it may be nothing, but there is absolutely no ambiguity in the big right and wrong, and it is impossible for him to say it if he is not sure.

Not long after, Li Shimin heard a 'strange' sound outside, saying that it was strange because the rhythm of this sound should be an animal like a horse, but the sound was a sound of gold and stone colliding.

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yanjin suspiciously, this is the way to solve the horse problem? Cheng Yanjin hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the horse has arrived, you will know it at a glance!" Li Shimin nodded, and walked out of the study with Cheng Yanjin, and saw a jujube red pony under the steps outside the door. Cheng Yanjin ran to the side of the horse in two steps and said, "Please Your Majesty!" After speaking, he lifted a horse's hoof with brute force, and the little red horse is now very cooperative, what can I do if I don't cooperate? I can't beat it! You can't run!

When Li Shimin came to the front of the horse, he saw that the horse's hooves were nailed with crescent-shaped iron plates, and the sound just now should be the sound of this kind of iron horses' hooves. Li Shimin looked at it twice, and his eyes glowed! In the Tang Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Shimin beat it down on the horse, as an emperor who fought on the battlefield, how could he not see the usefulness of this horse's hooves.

At that time, he turned over on the horse's back, and did not use the saddle, and several accompanying guards were startled and hurriedly gathered around, for fear that the emperor would fall off the horse.

"Get out of the way!" Li Shimin let out a loud sigh, and then patted the horse's buttocks, and the little red horse ran up in the palace, Cheng Yanjin and several guards hurriedly followed, Your Majesty the Emperor, but there must be no accidents.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, watching the horses running in the palace like a rhythm, and not caring about the frightened half-dead palace maids and eunuchs, Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter spread throughout most of the palace. What is the concept? Forty percent of the war horses must be eliminated every year, and in this era of cold weapons, cavalry is the highest combat effectiveness! And their maximum combat power will be reduced by 40% every year! What made Li Shimin even more unhappy was that the horses of the Tang Dynasty were far inferior to the Turks!

Most of the war horses need to be purchased in the Turks, which is a big consumption every year! Just such a small piece of iron, just such a small piece of iron! How much silver can be left for Datang every year? Astronomical! Even this colt, who usually dismisses it at all, now looks clear-eyed. After a long time, Li Shimin stopped in front of the imperial garden, and rode in the palace for almost two quarters of an hour, Cheng Yanjin finally caught up, and saw Li Shimin carefully watching the wear and tear of the horseshoe, and saw Cheng Yanjin coming over, grabbed his hand and said: "Zhijie, you have made a great contribution to my Tang Dynasty!" With this thing in hand, I am confident that I will be ashamed within three years! ”

Cheng Yanjin's expression was solemn, of course he knew what Li Shimin said about the shame before the snow, what kind of shame it was, Cheng Yanjin said: "Your Majesty, this thing is not what I came up with, but my son's classmate and friend, Wang Chouniu came up with the method", Cheng Yanjin, a national prince, naturally disdains to be greedy for other people's credit.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was interested, and asked in his mouth: "Chu Mo should only be ten years old this year", Cheng Yanjin nodded and said: "Exactly", Li Shimin dared to be even more interested: "Chu Mo's classmate and friend, how old is he this year?" ”。

Cheng Biting Jin was stunned, he really didn't ask about this, but he couldn't check much when he looked at it, so he said: "The same age as Chu Mo", Li Shimin laughed and said: "Okay! The country will prosper, there will be good talents! This young son can solve the problem of my Datang's lack of war horses, reward! Rewards! Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but think of the baby with the high swelling on the right side of his face, and now he feels a little cute when he thinks about it.

"Come on, pass on my message, Wang Chouniu has made meritorious service to the country, given 10,000 taels of gold, and 100 acres of fertile land! Well, Liangtian let him pick it himself, and told him that this was my reward for him! "Li Shimin's words are very domineering, you can choose by yourself!

After speaking, he continued to look at the little colt with affection and said: "Go and pass on Li Jing (the secretary of the Ministry of War) and Duan Lun (the secretary of the Ministry of Industry), let them come to the imperial study quickly, I want to be nailed to all the iron horses of my Datang within a month!" Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!" Several guards said: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

......

Cheng Biting Jin arrived with the eunuch Xuanzhi, Su Bai knelt down to receive the emperor's command, and when he heard that there were 100 acres of fertile land and 10,000 taels of gold, he was still a little excited, and it was not realistic to exchange a horseshoe for a title or something! Now I can have 100 acres of fertile land and 10,000 taels of gold, and I can be regarded as having a territory of my own! The eunuch left a small yellow scroll and said: "Wang Gongzi, as long as you take it to see the county order, you will naturally be able to receive a hundred acres of fertile land", and left Cheng Mansion after leaving a box of rewards that should be 'ten thousand gold'. The more Cheng Yanjin looked at Su Bai, the more satisfied he became, and finally forced Su Bai and Cheng Chumo to bow down!

You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, brothers swore and knocked their heads on the ground, and when they got up again, they were like brothers! This is the eldest son of the king! Cheng Yanjin This is the first time he has seen himself, so he is relieved to let himself bow to him? You must know that in this way, your body will be marked with the banner of Cheng Biting Jin, and if you go out to do something in the future, people will also think that there is Cheng Biting Jin behind it. This feeling is as if you go to play with your classmates, his father is a high-ranking official, and then the first time I see you, he plans to accept you as a godson, what do you think?

Su Bai was decisive and was about to refuse, Cheng Biting Jin pinched his fingers unhurriedly, making the sound of Katz bones colliding, Su Bai asked his subordinates to prepare yellow paper at that time, without saying a word, of course he was going to bow down!

Lao Cheng's family is prosperous, and now there are three men. The eldest Cheng Chumo is ten years old this year, the second Cheng Chuliang is six years old this year, and the third Cheng Chubi is five years old this year, Su Bai has joined this big family with honor, and now Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi have to call him second brother!

"Hahaha, good baby, these three fools in my family, if I have half of your brain, I will be content!"

After Cheng Yanjin watched the four of them bow down, he laughed wildly twice, and Su Bai's brain hurt when his voice was shocking, and then Cheng Yanjin called the old housekeeper and ordered him to prepare for the banquet, if he is not drunk today, he will not return! also led Su Bai to meet the mother of the Cheng family, as well as some key figures in the Cheng Mansion, and everyone also got to know the sworn brother of the little grandfather.

The way the Cheng family eats is very close to the people, it is not the formal meal distribution system of Datang now, but a family like ordinary people eating at the same table, the atmosphere is also very warm, when the meal is opened, it is like a war, and it is impossible to see that this is the home of a national prince! Even Cheng Chubi, who is only five years old this year, is running for the chicken legs on the table with all his might!

"Baby, I heard me say that you opened a theater in Qunxian Fang?" , Su Bai smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng, exactly!" The kid's family is poor, so he can only find some ways to reduce some of the burden on the family! Cheng Chumo nodded and said: "Yes, the little baby can have such filial piety if he is not big!" Yes, yes, but businessmen are not on the right path in my Datang after all, so it's good not to leave anyone with any tricks."

Su Bai understands that no matter what he says now, he is also Cheng Chumo's brother, and he has the brand of Cheng Fu on his body, if he goes to business, he is suspected of discrediting Cheng Fu. Su Bai hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Cheng, rest assured, the name of the owner has long been transferred to my father." Cheng Yanjin nodded and said, "That's naturally good, but I don't know what your plans are in the future?" ”。

Su Bai said: "Now I read every day, and I plan to seek fame next year!" Cheng Biting Jin nodded and sighed: "It's good to read, I just didn't eat the loss of not studying", after speaking, I didn't know what sad things I remembered, I was actually a little sad, Su Bai was not comforted, not comforted, fortunately, it didn't take long for him to recover, raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "Come on, come on, have a drink."

"Uncle Cheng, my little nephew is only nine years old this year, I'm afraid it's not good to drink"

"What's so bad? The amount of alcohol is practiced, so it's too early and not too late! ”

"This, okay, the little nephew will give up his life to accompany the gentleman"

"Hahaha, that's right, come on, come on, this is the second cup!"

Su Bai couldn't remember how much wine he drank, the only thing he could remember was that when he was lying down, everyone on the table except Cheng Yanjin was put down by himself! Yes, the door style of the old Cheng family is very strong, even the five-year-old Cheng Chubi picked up the wine bottle, and drank two bottles with Su Bai before he fell! In the end, Su Bai drank it and let it go completely, what wine bottle? What country grandfather? Drink directly from a large bowl, there is only one thought in my head, I have to convince them all today.

In the end, looking at Cheng Yanjin's big black face that seemed to be smiling, Su Bai realized that he was too naïve, he could drink it in his previous life, but he was just a child in this life!

When I woke up again, the sun was shining outside, I was lying in a room, my clothes had been changed into pajamas, it seemed that I had slept all night, my brain hurt badly, I struggled to sit up, the maid at the door heard the voice, walked in with a change of clothes, and changed clothes for Su Bai, Su Bai was confused and cooperated with them to change, Cheng Chumo's voice sounded outside the door...
