It's strange to think about it, if it weren't for Shen Leng's presence, it is estimated that it would be impossible for Lai Cheng to talk to the crown prince Li Changye about the topic of Xiaohuaihe, one is His Royal Highness the crown prince and the other is the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, how can he talk about this, to be solemn.

It's strange to think about it, at this moment, since the topic has come to this, if it weren't for Shen Leng's presence, Lai Cheng might really say a few more words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about Xiaohuaihe, but Shen Leng couldn't continue.

So Lai Cheng thought about it, and he was so strange.

"The queen mother will let you go to her palace to cook in a while."

Li Changye said: "Master, you sit here for a while, I'll go back to the big house, there are still some things that haven't been explained, Master Lai, you accompany me here, and wait for me to come back and go back to the palace with my master." ”

Li Changye stood up with an apologetic face, but Shen Leng was full of relief and joy, the second prince has really grown up, he is now very clear about the priorities, and talking to him more is what the second prince wants, but it is more important to deal with national affairs.

The second prince went out and went back to the cabinet house, Lai Cheng looked at Shen Leng and smiled: "Drink tea." ”

Shen Leng snorted and laughed: "Lord Lai's rare embarrassment, is it because of the matter of the black warrior woman just now?" If Lord Lai is really curious, you might as well ask whatever you want, I know everything and say everything. ”

Lai Cheng glared at him: "I don't tell you, talking to you is full of pits, it turns out that you are also a pick, now add a bad one, pick a bad one." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "Since Lord Lai doesn't want to say it, I won't mention it." ”

Lai Cheng was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help but ask: "Are black warrior women so beautiful when they are young?" ”

Shen Leng: "I don't know. ”

Lai Cheng: "What kind of attitude do you have, this is the attitude of knowing everything and saying everything?" ”

Shen Leng: "It's already knowing everything, because I really don't know, under normal circumstances, I deal with black martial arts men, I'm thinking, if I go out to say, as soon as I return to the Chang'an Cabinet, Master Lai, the first assistant university, will ask me about the black martial arts women, I think ......"

Lai Cheng: "Omit the intermediate process, you can directly put forward the conditions." ”

Shen Leng said: "Is there a new dish upstairs to welcome the new one?" ”

Lai Cheng: "A meal? ”

Shen Leng: "Two meals." ”

Lai Cheng: "Just a meal, love can't work." ”

Shen Leng: "Don't have a reputation?" ”

Lai Cheng: "My reputation is worth a meal, and I don't want it myself." ”

Shen Leng laughed: "It's just a meal, but you can't order food, you have to order me, last time you invited me to eat and ordered six dishes, but I didn't see a little meat, and asked me if the six dishes were enough, not enough for you to think of a way, and then I found out why you said you had to think of a way, because there are a total of six vegetarian dishes on the menu of the welcome building, and you have to find a way to do it if you want one more." ”

Lai Cheng: "That's why I said that there was a problem with the menu in the new building, and I had already raised my opinion with them. ”

Shen Leng: "......"

Lai Cheng smiled and became serious and said: "Let's be serious, if nothing else, when it is warm, the matter of mobilizing troops against Sang will be put on the agenda, Your Majesty wants the treasury to allocate funds to you, but the floods in the southern Xinjiang provinces were serious last year, and I am distressed when the imperial court issued a lot of disaster relief money." ”

He raised his finger and pointed to his hair: "Your Majesty asked me to make money, and I can't let people see that the treasury is short of money, so I was so anxious that I pulled down my hair one by one." ”

Shen Leng looked at it carefully: "I can't see that it's over." ”

Lai Cheng said solemnly: "I am a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the dignified cabinet, even if I am so anxious that I can pick up my hair, I can also hold the back of the hair, won't the one in front of me be seen?" ”

Shen Leng said: "But I see that the middle part is missing a lot." ”

Lai Cheng: "The middle part...... The middle part is a natural disaster, and it fell by itself faster than I did. ”

Shen Leng: "Find a way to keep it." ”

Lai Cheng: "Hair is such a thing, do your best to obey the destiny of God, hair is not something I want to keep, I can keep it if I want to keep it......"

Shen Leng: "Ahem, get down to business." ”

Lai Chengdao: "So the Donghai Dockyard was originally planned to be completed last year, and shipbuilding can start this year, but because the silver stopped, the dock was not completed, and you also know that Sang Guo is different from our Daning." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Daning has only had the military strength on the water since the Nanping River Naval Division, and the sea ships have been built since a few years ago, so even though Daning's national strength is a hundred Sang Kingdoms, it does not have an advantage in the strength of the Naval Division." ”

"The secret spies who arranged to go to Sang sent a message back and said that Sang is actually a very large island country, surrounded by the sea, they are extremely familiar with Hainan Airlines, they have been familiar with it since hundreds of years ago, their men and women are the same, just like the people on the grassland are familiar with war horses, their familiarity with ships seems to be innate, how many people are mobilized, even if there are many troops, and there are at least tens of thousands of pirates who are extremely familiar with naval warfare in Sang Kingdom, if I am the emperor of Sang Kingdom, the first thing is to find a way to recruit these pirates who can fight well."

After listening to this, Lai Cheng nodded: "I think so too, so in fact, compared to the military strength of the water division, it really can't be compared, but Daning can't lose......"

Shen Leng said: "You don't have to worry about military expenses for the time being, I brought back a cart of gold, if it is used to build ships, with the capacity of Anyang Dockyard, dozens of warships can be launched in half a year, although there are still some shortcomings, but we have one thing that Sang Country does not have, which is our biggest advantage." ”

Lai Cheng asked, "What?" ”

Shen Leng pointed at himself: "I, there is no such awesome person as me in Sang Kingdom." ”

Lai Cheng: "......"

Shen Leng said: "I have handed over all the gold to you, how to use the cabinet to decide, but there is one thing you have to promise me, I have to transfer people in this battle, I have found some generals who can be used by the sailors, and you persuade the military department to give me an order." ”

Lai Chengdao: "This is simple, you give me the list, I will use the seal of the cabinet for a while, and then present it to Your Majesty, you too, you will go to dinner with Your Majesty in a while, or you cook, you don't tell Your Majesty about such a good opportunity, you tell me." ”

Shen Leng said: "I'm sorry to tell Your Majesty...... The main thing is that I have already sent all the people to Dongjiang, and of course there are some people I want to use, but I can't take them away immediately, so I have to transfer them from afar. ”

Lai Cheng's eyes widened suddenly: "How many people did you take away from Wu Xinyu from Northern Xinjiang?" ”

"Not much, not much, just a few people."

Shen Leng said: "These are all trivial matters, and the main thing is that you see, I borrowed Wang Gendong and Wang Kuohai from Wu Xinyu in Northern Xinjiang, and I owe him a favor, so after the battle with Sang Guo, I have to repay him a favor, I take away the two of him, and I have to pay one back." ”

Lai Cheng's brows immediately furrowed: "Wait, I feel that there is indeed a hole in your words, don't say it ambiguously, let's start from the beginning...... You said that the most important thing is to transfer people from other places, and then you have to return Wu Xinyu alone, who do you want to transfer? ”

Shen Leng sighed: "The old fox is the old fox...... Transfer General Tang of Southern Xinjiang to me. ”

Lai Cheng was stunned: "Tang ruthless is in Yunhai Dao, thousands of miles away from Eastern Xinjiang, you want to transfer people from Yunhai Dao, you give me a reasonable reason...... Belch? ”

He suddenly reacted: "Are you planning to borrow Wang Gendong and Wang Kuohai from Northern Xinjiang and return Tang Lu when they are returned?" ”

Shen Leng smiled wryly: "This process is a bit complicated to operate, and it depends on Lord Shousuke." ”

Lai Cheng sighed: "Complicated? It's not complicated at all, it's enough for you to be shameless. ”

Shen Leng: "......"

Lai Chengdao: "Your Majesty still has to nod your head in this matter, if I really don't ask Your Majesty and transfer Tang to Northern Xinjiang after the war, Ye Jingtian, the general of Southern Xinjiang, will have to play and scold me." ”

Shen Leng: "If you don't have a face, you're not afraid of scolding, like me." ”

Lai Cheng: "Get out of ......"

He asked Shen Leng: "Is it because of the relationship ......between the general Wu Xinyu and Tang Ruthless?"

He stretched out his two hands and touched his two index fingers, which was a little cute.

Shen Leng sighed: "Why are you so obscene in this action." ”

Lai Cheng snorted: "You can go and mention it to Your Majesty in a while." ”

He got up: "You write out the list for me, about the war with the Sang Kingdom, Your Majesty has promised you the right to control the Dao, but you can arbitrarily decide on the spot, so as long as you want it, Your Majesty should give it all." ”

Shen Leng said: "You said it earlier." ”

Lai Cheng: "You control the eastern provinces, and you can't control the southern Xinjiang." ”

Shen Leng: "If I negotiate with Your Majesty, what benefits do you give me?" ”

Lai Cheng: "I'll give ...... I'll give you a fart, you beg me to do something, I'll give you benefits? ”

Shen Leng: "I'll go and go first, otherwise you will have to go back when you invite me to welcome the new building in a while." ”

Lai Chengdao: "I promised to do this, naturally I won't rely on it, I look like a person who pays off the debt?" There have been no defaulters in my family for generations, as you can tell from the surname. ”

Shen Leng: "......"

Half an hour later, in the queen's palace, Shen Leng glanced at the dishes that had been prepared in the small kitchen, they had all been washed and cut, just waiting for him to fry in the pot, the queen mother's eyes were a little different from the past, there was always a little dodge in the past, but now she was a little more concerned.

Shen Leng hadn't stir-fried yet, and the old dean came in from outside with a cane, walking very slowly, but he didn't let people help him.

Shen Leng hurriedly came out of the small kitchen after seeing the old dean, and the old dean didn't let the waiter help him go, but when Shen Leng reached out to support him, his eyes were full of smiles.

The old man has too many proud things in his life, and the most proud thing is that he has cultivated three imperial generals, one Pei Tingshan, one Meng Changan, and one stupid boy Shen Leng.

If you really want to talk about it, isn't the knowledge and character of His Majesty today cultivated by him? Therefore, the pride of the old dean is unmatched in the world, and only a faint pride is the first pride in the world.

"Look at you."

Shen Leng helped the old dean to walk inside: "At such an old age, is it worth running by yourself for a meal?" Not decent at all. ”

Old Dean: "How long has it been since you cooked for me?" If I can still walk, I'll come, it's worth it. ”

Shen Leng said: "I plan to stay in Chang'an for a few days before leaving, there is no one at home, it is deserted, so it is awkward to think about going back to live alone, if I am willing to cook some dishes every day, will an old man promise to take me in?" ”

The old dean laughed, and the corners of his eyes moistened slightly: "It depends on whether you cook every day to perfunctory that old man." ”

Shen Leng also laughed: "It's not perfunctory, you just pay for the food, how well you eat, it depends on how much you pay." ”

The old dean took out a silver ticket from his cuff and handed it to Shen Leng: "Take it!" ”

Shen sneered and put away the silver ticket: "Is the amount big?" ”

The old dean shook his head: "It's not big, it's just a matter of a few dozen taels." ”

Shen Leng: "You didn't bring money when you saw Your Majesty in the past, for fear of being cheated by Your Majesty, why did you bring dozens of taels of silver this time?" ”

The old dean smiled slyly: "Guess? ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "I can't guess." ”

"Child, you didn't come back for the New Year, but now that you're back, I'll give you a New Year's money."

Shen Leng was stunned, and his heart hurt slightly.
