Fortunately, Su Bai's current house is big enough, and a big house was specially arranged for Li Chengqian to live in, and the other five people lived in the maid's room at the door, saying that they would protect the prince here. Su Bai didn't force anything, after all, this can be regarded as their own decision.

For dinner, I ate home-cooked dishes, braised pork ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork and other common dishes. Li Chengqian liked these sweet and sour meats very much, and his chopsticks flew like flying, and he ate three bowls of rice in the evening.

In the end, he drank two large bowls of broth, but his small amount of rice was really not enough in front of Su Bai, they used bowls to serve rice, and Su Bai used basins! Li Chengqian and Su Bai have eaten several times and have long been used to it, but Chen Taiping and the others don't know! Seeing Su Bai bury his head in a rice bowl bigger than his head, several of them looked stupid.

At first, they thought that they were cooking so many dishes at night because they wanted to entertain them, but now they realized that they didn't have enough to eat!

After eating enough, Su Bai originally planned to go back to sleep, but Li Chengqian grabbed him, saying that the two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they wanted to talk at night! Su Bai looked reluctant, who wants to talk to you on a big night! I'm tired all day, how nice it is to go back to sleep at night!

Li Chengqian pulled Su Bai into the study without skin and face, and ordered Chen Taiping and the five to guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter.

The two of them sat on the sofa, and Su Bai yawned loudly and said, "What does Your Highness want to talk about?" Li Chengqian whispered: "Ugly cow, this time my father asked you to go to the front line, do you have any grievances?" ”

Su Bai immediately became energetic when he heard this, what do you mean? Test yourself? At that moment, he hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "There is no trace of resentment!" The minister's loyalty to His Majesty, his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty! The sky is visible! ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Okay, okay, look at the look that scared you, this time my father asked you to go to the front line for your own good!" My Tang Dynasty established the country by force, which of the hundred officials in the court did not come down on the battlefield? You and I are young and young now, and it is difficult to convince the public. If my father rewards you, the first officials will jump out against it."

"You used to be a civil official, but in the current situation, civil officials are too slow to be promoted! So my father transferred you to the camp of military generals, and this time I asked you to go to the front line, to put it bluntly, I will let you go to the melee for your exploits, and then my father will send a large number of Xuanwei to protect you, and you will wait to come back and be promoted to a knight! ”

Su Bai understood, it turned out that Li Chengqian was afraid that he would complain about his father, so he came over to explain to himself. Su Bai said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty's love for the ministers is understood by the ministers."

Li Chengqian nodded and continued: "It's good that you understand, in fact, this palace also has some thoughts", Su Bai looked at Li Chengqian suspiciously, Li Chengqian slowed down and whispered: "I need you to master a certain amount of military power in the periphery!" ”

Su Bai's eyes narrowed, why did Li Chengqian say that? Immediately, a bad thought floated in Su Bai's heart, this guy will not rebel like recorded in the history books! Now Li Shimin is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, whoever rebels will die! If you really want to rebel, you must not wade into this troubled water!

Su Bai pretended to be puzzled and said, "Military power? Why? ”

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "You are not an outsider, and this palace will make it clear to you, Han Qing told this palace that in the past two days, Qingque has a lot of court ministers secretly interacting, and several of them are giants with military power."

Su Bai's narrowed eyes opened, as long as it wasn't a rebellion, besides, do you really think this is some kind of secret thing? Even if Li Tai doesn't want to do this, his people will push for it! Who wouldn't want to give it a try?

Did Han Qing, who told you about this, really have any good intentions? Su Bai said softly: "Your Highness, you also said, we are still young, who will rest assured that you will hand over the military power to me?" ”

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Try it as much as possible, this palace has confidence in you", speaking of this matter, Li Chengqian was obviously not very interested. After such a long period of contact, Su Bai felt that Li Chengqian was actually a very simple person, if you were good to him, he would be good to you, and if you helped him, he would help you. And he is not a person who likes to be calculating, and many things are turned a blind eye.

As the saying goes, neither deaf nor blind, not worthy of being in charge, Li Chengqian fully meets all the characteristics that a leader should have!

Su Bai nodded and said, "The ministers will try their best to fight for it", Li Chengqian exhaled lightly and said: "Ugly cow, do you say that the palace should also go to win the support of the ministers?" ”

Su Bai shook his head directly and said, "No!" The words Su Bai said categorically, without the slightest hesitation. Li Chengqian looked at Su Bai and didn't understand why Su Bai could say it so categorically!

Su Bai explained to him: "Your Highness, this year is only the third year of Zhenguan!" Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, do you think that with Your Majesty's ability, he will not be able to see these small actions of yours? When His Majesty found out, what would he think? ”

Li Chengqian thought about it, isn't it, what would his father think if he found out? I'm still alive, so you can win over the minister! How? Do you want to learn from me to usurp the throne directly! Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

He is a person who likes to read, and the history books are naturally not read less, those who are suspected by the emperor, which one has a good end?

Su Bai said softly: "Your Highness, you are the crown prince!" It's completely okay, to respond to all changes with the same, forgive the courtiers for being rude, and the bloodshed between His Majesty's thrones naturally doesn't need to be mentioned, is it possible that His Majesty will want to see his children and grandchildren like him? Your Majesty will definitely set an example! You are the eldest grandson again! If this throne is not passed on to His Royal Highness, who else can it be passed on? ”

Although Li Chengqian knew that this was Su Bai's comfort, he was still very happy to hear it, and a smile leaked from his face.

Su Bai continued: "Besides, with me standing behind His Highness to support, even if they win over anyone, it's useless!" ”

Li Chengqian laughed when he heard it, and looked at Su Bai with a strange expression, the subtext was obvious; 'Why are you so shameless, you are embarrassed to say this kind of thing!'

Su Bai looked like he was right-hearted, as if what he said was true.

The two laughed for a while, Li Chengqian said with a serious face: "Ugly cow", Su Bai smiled: "What? ”

"You must come back alive! Even if you are a deserter, you will come back alive! As long as you come back, no matter what it is, there is this palace to settle it for you! Li Chengqian was very serious when he said this, and after Su Bai heard it, he felt in his heart that he was really following the right person.

Su Bai pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you don't know the martial arts of the ministers", Li Chengqian also felt that the topic just now was a little heavy, and echoed and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, this palace is too careful, with your martial arts, of course you will come back safe and sound!" ”

The two chatted again, talking a lot, such as potatoes have been planted in the sun room, and cement has been sold to the border, and Liao Zhai has opened three branches in Chang'an, etc., until late, the two went back to their rooms to sleep.

......

On the second day, after Su Bai's morning exercise, he once again came to the barracks with Li Chengqian and others, and after spending a full and boring morning, in the afternoon, Su Bai led Li Chengqian to visit Juxian County, telling him what the future will look like here, what buildings will there be, and what things can be done for the boss's surname! And where the original people here will move to, how they will be resettled, etc., the head of the story is the Tao.

After staying in Juxian for ten days in a row, Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an, and Su Bai sent him out for ten miles.

At the end of July, construction of the textile mill began, and the former people moved into new concrete houses, and they also received some money for the demolition, enough for the family to start a small business. Bai Yulou opened a branch at the border, and this time it was more or less reluctant, because the previous funds had not been returned, and they were all used in the old capital. The purpose of opening a branch is also mainly to convey information.

At the end of August, the hospital was completed, and Su Bai personally cut the ribbon and mentioned a couplet: 'I hope that people in the world are free of diseases; What a pity that the medicine on the shelf is "Juxian Hospital", cough cough cough cough ~ may be a little unsmooth~

In the past two days, several carrier pigeons have flown into the palace every day, and they are all news from the border, no matter how big or small!

Today's carrier pigeon even says that some Turkic light cavalry can already be seen on the border. Su Bai understands that now is the time when the green and yellow are not available, and he believes that it will not be long before the war will break out.

In the past few months, the imperial court has also made great moves, first of all, to levy grain! And then there is the transfer of troops! Even the stupid people can see that the imperial court is afraid that it is about to use troops against the Turks.

Even the Turkic merchants who go to Chang'an these days are much less, maybe they are also aware of something.

Su Bai also joined the ranks of military training, wearing a special armor every day, holding a phoenix-winged gilded pickaxe, directing the soldiers to drill! As soon as the soldiers saw the big boring in Su Bai's hand, they couldn't help but think of the dismount that Su Bai gave them when they first entered the camp!

I couldn't help but be more serious when I trained, which made Huang Shilang very unhappy! I feel that their group of big-headed soldiers are treated differently, look down on themselves, and even train them with their lives! Now the soldiers are really suffering.

The time soon came to September, and the construction of the textile mill was officially started! In the afternoon of the same day, Su Bai announced one thing, starting that day, all the employees in Su Bai's enterprise were issued two sets of tooling, and one set was issued in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, two sets were issued by the cement factory, and three sets were issued by the miners! And it is mandatory that all workers must wear uniforms, and workers in cement factories must wear dust masks, otherwise they are not allowed to enter the factory.

This time there was another uproar in Juxian County, and everyone didn't care about the next few articles, but they just remembered to enter the factory to wear clothes! Originally, the treatment was good, but now it is even more clothes, where to find such a good thing? At present, there is a wave of working in the factory.

The ramie of the squires has long been mature, with the textile factory to start producing linen, this year Su Bai also encouraged everyone to raise silkworms, no capital can go to the palace for a loan, no interest charged, as long as the time comes to produce silk, in the return of the good.

When there are more silkworm raisers next year, silk can be made.

The master of Baiyulou in Juxian County has finally come to a big job, which is to escort linen cloth to the Silk Road for sale! There were also spirits, as well as tea, porcelain, etc., and more than 200 carts of goods were carried by the Cheng family caravan, and they came out of Chang'an!

During the same period, Cheng Chumo went to the Zuo Wuwei camp to report and became a school captain, with more than 50 people under his command.

......

Su Bai rarely didn't train today, but took Zhao Yue'er back to Chang'an, went to "Mingde Academy" to visit his old father-in-law, he didn't go home for a few months, Zhao Yue'er also missed it tightly, as for Su Bai, he also planned to relax, every day in the military camp in addition to training is training, in fact, it is still very boring.

Just yesterday, a major event happened in the imperial court, Fang Xuanling was shot by the left servant, and Du Ruhui was shot by the right servant! What was supposed to happen in Zhenguan March, because of the storm caused by his little butterfly, was actually postponed for more than half a year.

I came to Chang'an this time to visit these people's homes and give some gifts.

Fang Xuanling was very affectionate when he took Su Bai's hand, he was a smart person, he could see that Su Bai was deeply loved by His Majesty, and now that Su Bai came over to take the initiative to show goodwill, Fang Xuanling naturally would not refuse.

In contrast, Du Ruhui was relatively cold, just said two words of thanks, and didn't even have the heart to say a few polite words. Su Bai knew that Du Ruhui was not targeting himself, but his personality was like this.

Su Bai looked at the minister who was going to die of illness next year, and he was speechless for a long time, and when he died, Fang Mou Du would become a dead end.

When he came to Chang'an, Cheng Mansion must go, otherwise the old demon king would definitely have trouble with Su Bai at that time. Cheng Yanjin laughed three times after seeing Su Bai! Su Bai also has the habit of laughing three times! Both of them were a little stunned for a while.

Cheng Yanjin reacted and scolded with a smile: "You kid actually dare to learn from the old man", Su Bai scratched his head and said: "Don't you think you are so smiling and heroic."

Coming to Cheng's Mansion, the wine banquet is naturally indispensable, Cheng Biting Jin is obviously very interested today, the two of them directly hold the wine jar and start drinking, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Cheng Biting Jin smiled and said: "The fish is about to bite the hook!" ”

Su Bai knew that he was talking about Turkic, nodded but didn't speak, he was worried about the people on the border, when the fish bitten, would there be any bait left?

Cheng Yanjin really knew Su Bai's heart too well, and laughed twice and said: "If you see the fish this time, the bait can be protected, as long as the fish dares to come, not only can't you eat the bait, but we also have to release it!" ”

Su Bai didn't understand a little, and Cheng Yanjin explained to Su Bai with a smile: "This time, Your Majesty has transferred three armies to the border!" Just wait for the Turks to come and offend, and we can find a way to attack! These days, the spies have come to report that there are not many cattle and sheep on the grassland, and they will definitely come to commit crimes in two months at most! Is this still using the people as bait? ”

Su Bai also laughed when he heard it, and now, he was completely relieved
