Li De swore that he must make those scum look good next time, damn, a group of five big and three thick military men surrounded him and poured him vigorously, even the cow was drunk, and finally took the opportunity to smear oil on the soles of his feet and returned home, lying on the bed and falling asleep. Hide at home for a few days and enjoy a corrupt life.

Li De got up in the morning and practiced a martial arts, as time passed, his integration with Li Yuanba became deeper and deeper, and he could already realize how powerful this body and the power contained in it were, and slowly had a lot of martial arts in his mind, thinking that he would go to the battlefield in the future, and he had been practicing diligently every day in recent days.

Walking into the house, the servant had already prepared hot water, Li De took a good bath, took the clean clothes handed over by the maid on the side, Li De glanced at it, the maid lowered her head and blushed, it was so bright and lovely, Li De smiled and walked out. At the door, our princess Tia stood like a log, and when she heard Li De's laughter, she cursed in her heart that it would be better for him to choke to death with his own saliva, to drown in the bathwater, and she would be free.

Li De looked at Tia's playful smile and didn't speak, just to hold her back like this, hit her arrogance, crush her pride, and make her understand that she is no longer a descendant princess, but he Li De spent money to buy the maid slave who came to the palace.

Li De entered the main hall, Su Wen, Chen An, and Luo Ping had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the main lord had arrived, Luo Ping was the first to say to Li De, "Master of the family, according to His Majesty's will, the military camp of the Weiwei Army is located in the camp of Chang'an Waiba, and this is recruiting soldiers, when do you think it will start?" ”

Li De said, "Well, starting in the next few days, we will set up a recruitment station in Mingdemen, you take a few guards to set up a platform first, and prepare everything for now, and the notice of the imperial court should come out, just so that more people know that we are going to start recruiting, hoping to recruit good soldiers and talents." ”

Luo Ping went as promised.

Li De turned his head and asked, "Chen An, how is the furniture made now, as well as the big round table and copper basin, but they have all been sent to the palace and several princes,"

Chen An replied, "Master of the family, according to your requirements, the fine furniture prepared in the palace has been sent, and the craftsmen are working day and night to make it, and then it will be sent to the mansions of Qi Guogong, Lu Guogong, Yiguo Gong and so on." ”

Li De nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it's good, the craftsmen have worked hard, you can also hire a few craftsmen and increase the number of people, by the way, find a few more blacksmiths, I will be useful later." ”

Turning his head to look at Su Wen, Su Wen saw Li De looking over, stepped forward and said, "Master, the restaurant you asked the old slave to find has a target, it is on the street of East Street, the location is good, there is a two-entry yard on the upper and lower floors, the owner of the restaurant is old and wants to change hands to return to his hometown to retire, the restaurant is priced at 5,000 yuan and is not allowed to bargain, you see if you go to see." ”

Li De "Well, yes, then go and have a look,"

Suzaku Street

"Master of the house, look, this is the restaurant that the old slave said,"

Li De looked left and right, three floors, the door is open, that is, the tables and chairs have been used for many years, behind is the kitchen, utility room, on the balcony on the third floor, you can see the entire Suzaku Street, Jinshui Bridge, wide vision, good, good, is a good place,

"Shopkeeper Ma, this is my head of the house and the owner of your restaurant."

The old horse shopkeeper clenched his fists and said, "Forgive the old man for losing his distance," he saw that Li De was dressed in silk and satin, especially the jade pendant on his waist, which was not ordinary at first glance, but must be a noble in Chang'an City.

Li De: "The shopkeeper, politely, I am very agreeable to your restaurant this time, I know that the price of the shopkeeper is 5,000 yuan, right, if there is no problem, we will deliver." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Noble, that's right, the old decay is priced at 5,000 yuan, but there is a small request, I don't know if you can agree"

As soon as Su Wen heard that this old guy didn't say this to him, he had to question the shopkeeper, Li De raised his hand to stop Su Wen, and quietly looked at the shopkeeper and waited for him.

The shopkeeper saw that Li De's face did not change, and secretly said good, and strengthened his desire to transfer the restaurant to Li De, and said, "The requirements of the old man are very simple, that is, the guys and chefs of this restaurant, you have to stay and continue to hire them, they have followed the old man for more than ten years, and the young one has been seven or eight years After returning to his hometown this time, he didn't want to see them swept away by the new owner." Can you agree? ”

Li De said, "With the benevolence of the shopkeeper, I agreed, the shopkeeper is so kind, I believe the guys must be kind." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Okay, your nobleman, let's sign and deliver." ”

On behalf of Li De, Su Wen went out to hand over with the shopkeeper and told all the guys to exchange for the owner, and the new owner agreed to leave everyone to continue to do things.

Li De waited for them to finish the formalities, and went downstairs to send the shopkeeper away. I came back and saw all the guys and said, "Okay, you will work hard in the future, I will not treat you badly, I will close the store today, Su Wen, I will give you drawings and instructions when I go back, you and Chen An will arrange the craftsmen and craftsmen, and the restaurant will be renovated inside and out, and the guys' clothes will also be changed to uniform clothes, and I want to have a few new dishes in the kitchen, so I will practice it for you first, and launch new dishes when it opens." ”

"In addition, Su Wen went to the manager of the Lu Guogong Mansion and told him, just say what I said, let them divide a few winemakers to come over, use the backyard and make our own wine, and sell them together when it opens."

Su Wen asked after agreeing, "Master, what is the name of this restaurant?" ”

Li De thought about whether it would be too vulgar to call it "There is a Restaurant", so if he was the prince or change it, it would be called "Drunken Immortal Building".

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Dividing line 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In the camp of the 16th Guards in Chang'an, a notice has been received from the Ministry of War, His Majesty ordered the Tang Dynasty Wei Wang to form a new army with full powers, and will select elite soldiers from the Chang'an Guards, this army is independent of the 16 Guards, controlled by the Wei Wang, all high, medium and low-level generals are appointed by themselves, and all officers and soldiers in Chang'an can participate in this recruitment.

Left Wuwei battalion

Soldier A "formed a new army, or a prince led the troops, that is, who is the king of Wei, I haven't heard of it"

Soldier B: "You mud legs, what do you know, that King Wei is a legendary figure, and he has a big background"

A asked, "Brother, tell me quickly,"

B Hui "This Wei Wang is in the Sui Dynasty, a horse to kill the eighteen anti-thieves of the gods, called Li Yuanba, I heard that he is the best in the world, killing together six relatives do not recognize, one person can block thousands of troops and horses. ”

Soldier C next to him continued, "Are you sure that we have such a person in the Tang Dynasty, so why have I never heard of it, the army has always said that General Qin is the best in the world,"

B looked at the two of them with disdain and said, "That's because King Wei is not here, if King Wei is not struck by lightning, General Qin is not enough for King Wei to hammer, I can tell you two foolish, King Wei's force is so high, a hammer has 800 catties, and it is simply a humanoid monster, whoever stands in the way will die." ”

A and C gasped and said, B continued, "I have heard my family's eldest brother who is on an errand in the yamen say, this King Wei is His Majesty's own brother, the kind of mother and compatriot, and his power and status are just a little worse than His Majesty's. ”

A and C said together, "Brother, let's go together, go together, this acquaintance also has a helper." ”

Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang general Su Dingfang also received the notice of the Ministry of War, heard the soldiers talking, the heart can be described as mixed, think of him Su Dingfang, superb martial arts, fifteen years old followed his father to the battlefield, and then defected to Dou Jiande in Hebei, was appreciated by his general Gao Yaxian as a righteous son, repeatedly made military exploits, only to blame Dou Jiande was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, he could only go back to his hometown to farm. Until he met his teacher, that is, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and re-enabled him as a general, following Li Jing, Li Jing appreciated his character and accepted Su Dingfang as an apprentice, passing on his art of war, I don't know if he was born at the wrong time, although Li Jing is a very human minister, out of the general into the phase, but the master of high merit can only be a low-key person, and he Su Dingfang was Dou Jiande's general earlier, not liked by Li Shimin, so far he has only mixed a Zhonglang general, really Huai Cai is not met, this formation of a new army is also a big opportunity for him, Only if you can be appreciated by King Wei, you will definitely be able to soar and show your ambitions. But he couldn't go. Just when Su Dingfang was worried, Li Jing's personal guards came to see him and said that Duke Wei had invited him to the mansion to discuss important matters.

Patriotic Mansion

Li Jing closed his eyes in the middle hall to recuperate, waited for Su Dingfang to come, beckoned him to come in and sit down, and said to Su Dingfang, "Dingfang, the old man called you this time, I want to ask you about the formation of new soldiers by King Wei, do you have any opinions?" ”

Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, "Teacher, with Wei Wang's martial arts and his identity, this army will definitely be the elite of the elite, and in the army and civilian recruitment, the quality of personnel can also be guaranteed, once the army is formed, the combat power cannot be underestimated." ”

Li Jing nodded, "Well, yes, in the name of King Wei, he has countless resources, and he is not constrained by becoming an independent army, which is a great opportunity for many officers and soldiers who have never met Huaicai." The old man wants you to participate too, and he can't bear to bury your talent and waste your time so much. ”

Su Dingfang immediately knelt on the ground and asked in a crying voice, "Teacher, but there is something in Dingfang that makes you angry, don't drive Dingfang away."

Li Jing shook his head and helped him up and said, "Dingfang, you are the only disciple that the old man likes, with a strong heart and mellow virtue, how could the teacher drive you away, the teacher just doesn't want you to be with this unlucky old man like me, delaying your development, if it weren't for the old man's mistake, the prince of Xuanwumen and the king of Qin came to win over the old man, and the old man was worried that he would not end up well so he chose not to help each other, although His Majesty did not hold a grudge against the old man, but after all, he was outside His Majesty's henchmen, and you were depressed. You must seize this opportunity and show your talents. The old man believes that he will definitely impress King Wei, and with King Wei's recommendation, you will definitely stand out and show your ambitions, and it will not be in vain for the old man to teach carefully. ”

Su Dingfang's tiger eyes were full of tears, and he bowed to Li Jing and said, "Dingfang is incompetent, and the teacher has to bother to plan the future for the apprentice, the teacher can rest assured, Dingfang will not let the teacher down." ”

The same scene also happened in the right tun guard general Wushui County Bo Chang He Mansion, Chang He Ke Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate mutiny, it is because Chang He stationed in the Xuanwu Gate to help block Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's soldiers, Li Shimin can succeed in the mutiny with his own private soldiers, Chang He said to the diners in his own house, "King Bin, this time King Wei formed a new army, I hope you can go to the election, with your talent, you will definitely be appreciated by King Wei and be promoted, a certain is just a general, the ability is not enough to introduce you into the career, Na Wei Wang is a legendary figure of the Tang Dynasty, and he is His Majesty's younger brother, his words are more than anyone in the court, and this time he will select talents in the army and the people at the same time, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Don't miss it. I just hope that you can protect my Chang family after you soar. ”

Hearing this, King Bin nodded and said to Chang He, "General Xie appreciates it, and the general's kindness King Bin doesn't dare to forget." ”

This scene abounds in the sixteenth guard, and countless people are preparing to run for election. Outside the barracks, notices were also posted everywhere in Chang'an City, in addition to selecting in the barracks, but also in the people, according to Li De's statement to Li Shimin, this is called eclectic talent. In the entire Chang'an City, many figures in the subordinate counties of Chang'an went up to the high-ranking officials and nobles, and ordered the peddlers to pawn. I have to say that this is the Tang Dynasty is gearing up to try, this is which Datang advocates force and takes military merit as the first path.
