Chapter 118 Confession

Li Shen glanced at Zhuo Wenyan, frowned, and said lightly: "Yes, the ninth brother is kind and a good candidate for the prince." With that, he walked out of the courtyard.

Zhuo Wenyan looked at Li Shen's back and sighed in a low voice, how could he trust him alone, why was it so difficult? Childe's vigilance is too heavy, but that's right, who let Childe be betrayed by his cronies before, not to mention that he is still a person of unknown origin.

Li Shen was thinking about Zhuo Wenyan all the way, could it really be that he was thinking too much? It seems that he can go back to Chang'an City to find something for him to do to test it, after all, he is really walking on thin ice now, once he takes a wrong step, he may face the point of losing his head, and if there is a rebellion again this time, it is estimated that His Majesty Li Er will really not spare him.

"Master Li, why are you here?" Pang Yicheng, who was chopping wood in the yard, turned around and asked with a slight difference.

"Come and see you, why hasn't the house been built yet? Is the matter of apricots settled? ”

Pang Yicheng's face turned red when he heard this, nodded, and said: "Apricot is only fourteen this year, and my uncle said that I will get married in two years, and the bride price has been accepted by Uncle Qian, and it is not too late for the house to wait." ”

Li Shen nodded and said, "It's good that the matter is decided, your two younger brothers are not young, build two houses for them, and my yard will be given to you." ”

"Master Li, you ......"

"If I go back, I'm afraid I will rarely come over in the future, and the house will not be able to be left there without one to live in."

Pang Yicheng nodded unceremoniously and said, "Master Li, when are you going to leave?" ”

"In the past few days, there are some things that you need to do today."

Pang Yicheng looked around and said, "Please come inside the house." ”

"Master, you say."

Li Shen nodded, and said bluntly: "It's about to enter the winter, and there will be a lot of refugees every winter, and the beggars in the city, you can pick some clever and sensible people to take them over, find a secret place in the mountains to settle them, and train them, how to train in a few days, I will tell you." ”

"Master, do you really want to?" Pang Yicheng asked with a somewhat heavy face.

"It's not that I want to, but someone forces me to think, don't worry, no matter what, I will protect your family for a safe life, and I can still do it."

Pang Yicheng shook his hand and said in a low voice: "Master, you misunderstood what I meant, since you promised you, it doesn't matter if you give up my life, it's just ......"

Li Shen nodded a little proudly, he could look at people, and said lightly: "You can follow my requirements, don't talk about the rest, there is a dark room in my room, the switch of the dark room is at the bottom of the closet, and you can see it when you lift the wooden board, there are 20,000 taels of silver in it, these are the initial start-up funds." ”

Pang Yicheng swallowed, looked at Li Shen with a face full of disbelief, and said, "Master, this... You're not afraid that I'll run away with the money? ”

"Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, I can still believe in your character."

Li Shen paused and said: "The people who choose should be carefully selected, don't pick the kind of people who look slippery, pay attention, don't let others find out, you can go to the nearby city to have a look, or you can buy it from Renyazi." ”

Then he said: "Buy some other iron-striking people to come back, strengthen the labor, you can do it yourself, if you have this certainty to control them, you can also buy a little." ”

Pang Yicheng nodded and said, "You know, is there anything else?" ”

"Have you been to the mountains around here?"

"There are indeed hidden places, but some are not very convenient, it is too far from here, it is estimated that it will take more than 30 miles of mountain roads, and it is very dangerous along the way, I have never been there, and I also got lost once to get there." Pang Yicheng knew what Li Shen asked and replied.

"It's okay to be dangerous, as long as it's secretive enough, and you're looking for someone who knows how to explore iron ore, take a look in this group of mountains, and see if you can find mineral deposits."

"Okay."

Li Shen thought about it for a while, it's almost like that, he is waiting, His Majesty Li Er still has a few years to die, and he can still live a stable life in the past few years, so the number of people he wants will never be how old, one is twelve or thirteen years old, and this year these people have become strong young men, properly trained, and completely qualified warriors.

Li Shen had already considered that the number of people would not be much now, five or six hundred people would be about the same, and he would continue to expand when he had the opportunity, it would be impossible to develop and grow all at once, and the flow of funds would be easy to be detected by people with intentions.

Besides, he is a modern person, he will not be stupid enough to fight with cold weapons, this is also stupid, the earthen gun and the earthen cannon, that is, the craft mastered by Li Shen, is also higher than the technology of the Ming and Qing dynasties, I don't know how much, although the earthen gun alone cannot be compared with the orthodox weapons and equipment, but it should not be much worse.

Li Shen estimated that with a modern army of three or four thousand people, he would be able to remain undefeated, not to mention that there were many generals in the army who stood on his side.

He is a little anxious now, he didn't expect such news to come, he originally wanted to spend the New Year in the village before entering Chang'an City, but now this wish can't be realized, the original plan has been disrupted, and now the only hope is that Pang Yicheng is without his guidance, don't let him down, otherwise he really has no way to face the future crisis.

And with the strong support of the eldest grandson Wuji and others, I am afraid that the position of the crown prince will really fall on Li Zhi's head.

"By next spring at the latest, I'll send you some good help." Li Shen looked at Pang Yicheng with some faint worry in his eyes, and then said.

Pang Yicheng smiled innocently and said, "It's a little, Master, you'd better tell you how to do these things when you leave, otherwise I really can't figure it out." ”

Li Shen nodded, and said: "First do the things I explained, other things, I will arrange someone to contact you in the future, if there is any difficulty, you can also go directly to Chang'an City to find me, the address of the house is not far from the Yuelai Inn in the east of Chang'an City, and you can see the word Li Mansion when you go." ”

"That's all there is to it, hurry up and get things done." Li Shen stood up, stretched out his hand and patted Pang Yicheng's shoulder, and said lightly: "I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

Pang Yicheng nodded, knowing the meaning of Li Shen's words, and said: "Master, don't worry, since I, Pang Yicheng, have followed you, I will never betray anything, if I betray one day, the whole family will not die well." ”

Li Shen nodded and said: "I don't need to swear, it's just that my hopes for you are a little high, follow me, I will let you have a different life, and help me find someone His name is Xue Rengui, who should be from Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Province, but I don't know the specific address, and I want you to arrange someone to find him, find him and take him into the account." ”
