After Li Chengdao listened to Zhang Shuyin's words:

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Shuyin told everything he knew to Zhao Wang Li Chengdao:

"Since I knew that Miss Zhen'er was in Laojunguan, I have been exploring outside, but Laojunguan is not open to the public, especially for people like us who come out of Zhaowang's Mansion, and later I found out that Mrs. Wang of Jiangguo Mansion has a deep relationship with Laojunguan incense. That's why I reported to the prince! "Zhang Shuyin didn't dare to discuss himself with Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda, Shen Guang and others, and 'calculated' the matter of Zhao Wang Li Chengdao, so he could only avoid the important and say some irrelevant things. Li Chengdao looked at Zhang Shuyin and didn't say a word. Zhang Shuyin was panicked by Li Chengdao's heart - this is natural, Li Chengdao is a prince, and he has been trained outside, so he naturally slowly has authority.

"Okay, I'll naturally go to socialize about Old Master Chen's business. Go down! ”

"Yes! Rajah! "Li Chengdao is after Zhang Shuyin is gone. Slowly I also feel sleepy! The next day, Li Chengdao came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry:

"Luo Yuanjin, the secretary of the Ministry of Inferior Workers, see His Royal Highness King Zhao! I don't know what important things the prince has to do when he comes to my ministry? ”

"Lord Luo, this king traveled in the south and found that there are many water networks in the south, and the hydrological data of the entire Tang Dynasty are in the Yamen of your Ministry of Industry and Water, so this king specially came to you today. I hope that Lord Luo can help this king. ”

"Yes! Lord Wang, I will help the Lord wholeheartedly! Lord Wang, please! "The Yamen of the Ministry of Water belongs to the internal institutions of the Ministry of Industry. The Shaofu of the Western Han Dynasty set up the capital water chief and Cheng to take charge of water conservancy. The Three Kingdoms Wei placed the Ministry of Water, in charge of navigation and water conservancy, and the chief official was Langzhong of the Ministry of Water. The two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties still have a water department and a Cao, and the chief official is the Shangshu Shuibu Lang, who is in charge of the relevant waterway decrees. Li Jin, Song, Qi, Later Wei, Northern Qi and have the water department Langzhong, Liang, Chen for the waiter. Later, the Zhou Dong official mansion had a doctor in the water. In the Sui period, the Ministry of Water was one of the four divisions of the Ministry of Industry. Sui set up the capital water platform, and placed the messenger and Cheng. In the Tang Dynasty, the Sui system, the Ministry of Industry set up a water department Langzhong, a member of the outside Lang each one, Si Jinji, the ship, the canal beam, the embankment, the ditch, the fishing, the transport, the grinding of the matter, the world of the Sichuan desecration, Pi Chi of the decree, in order to lead the ditch, the weir to break the canal. Luo Shangshu accompanied Li Chengdao to the Ministry of Engineering. After arriving at the Yamen of the Ministry of Water, Chen Xiande was handling official business in the Ministry of Water Langzhong of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and at this time, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry accompanied Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao, to his face:

"Lord Chen!"

"Oh! It's Lord Shangshu! Yes! His Royal Highness King Zhao! See Lord Shangshu, His Royal Highness King Zhao! ”

"Lord Chen, excuse me!" Zhao Wang Li Chengdao personally helped Chen Xiande up.

"Lord Luo, this king has something to ask Lord Chen!"

"Ahh All right! Since the prince has something, the prince is busy, and there are some official duties to be busy with, so he retires from his humble position! Luo Yuanjin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, looked at Chen Xiande with some jealousy - it is no wonder that there are too many people who want to climb the big tree of Li Chengdao. Luo Yuanjin is not exempt from vulgarity. It's just that Luo Yuanjin is already a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, ranking sixth, and he didn't dare to do more flattery in front of Li Chengdao, so he had to leave. After Li Chengdao found a chair and sat down, he asked Chen Xiande:

"Lord Chen, this king knows that there are many water networks in the south, so the transportation of ships is an important interest of the people's livelihood. Therefore, this king wants to know how many of the southern water networks have been renovated, and how many dams and bridges are on these water networks! How much more is there to store!? And how many of these warehouses are official warehouses, and how many are private warehouses of the people!? ”

"Yes, my lord! The humble minister will give it to the prince immediately! Chen Xiande took out a lot of dusty books from various bookshelves.

"Lord Wang, please see, this is an official document file of the former Sui Dynasty, which counts all the water conservancy projects of the Sui Dynasty in the Grand Canal during the former Sui Dynasty. And here, this is the newly built official warehouse and private warehouse on both sides of the canal in Datang over the years......" Li Chengdao came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Water of the Ministry of Industry for several days in a row, and has been looking for Chen Xiande to discuss, and Li Chengdao's actions have also made Chen Xiande's colleagues very jealous of Chen Xiande. Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao, seemed to appreciate Chen Xiande's talent very much, not only came to the yamen all day to find Chen Xiande, but even often went to Chen Shuda's house to find Chen Xiande. Slowly, Li Chengdao and Chen Shuda also became familiar with each other.

"Yo! Your Highness is here! ”

"Hello Mr. Chen!"

"Your Highness, are you here to find Xiande? Good! The old man immediately brought Xiande to him. Chen Shuda was about to leave, and Li Chengdao called Chen Shuda:

"Old man, please stay!"

"Oh! Does Your Highness have any other orders!? Lee Seung-dao looked around. Chen Shuda looked around.

"Oops! Look at me, you people don't have long eyes! His Royal Highness didn't even set up a first-class banquet on the table, and took out the jar of Jiangnan jade liquor that the old man treasured! Just go! After the subordinates left, Chen Shuda smiled and said to Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao:

"Your Highness! Now the people are gone! Please tell your Highness about yourself! Zhao Wang Li Chengdao said with a smile:

"Old Xiangye Chen, in fact, the matter of the Jiangnan enclosure case, I believe that the old Xiangye already knows!"

"Oh! The old man also heard about that case, hey! As a person from Jiangnan, the old man heard that the people in the Jiangnan area had suffered such a catastrophe, and the old man's heart was also a little sad! If it weren't for His Royal Highness inspecting the south for His Majesty, I'm afraid that the people in Hangzhou and Muzhou would still be in dire straits! For those villagers in the south of the Yangtze River, the old man has thanked His Royal Highness for his great kindness! Chen Shuda said while pretending to wipe his tears.

"Hmmm! Old Master Chen, this matter is just what Xiao Wang should do! The old man is very polite! It's just that Xiao Wang came here today to ask Old Master Chen to help Xiao Wang with something. ”

"Oh! What bothers Your Highness? If it is a matter of the court, although the old man has been retired for many years, there are still some protégés of old officials in the officialdom and localities. I just don't know what His Highness asks for? ”

"Old man! In fact, it is not a matter of officialdom and local government affairs! It's just, it's just ......"

"Your Highness, is there anything unspeakable, Your Highness, please speak! If His Highness doesn't say it, then the old man can't know what His Highness wants the old man to help? "Zhao Wang Li Chengdao told Chen Shuda that he accidentally rescued a girl who was put into a sack on the Jiangnan Canal. Later, according to the story told by this girl, she went to Hangzhou and Muzhou to investigate the case, and slowly uncovered the case.

"Ahh Your Royal Highness is a celestial talent, and there is such an adventure, this is a godsend! It seems that His Royal Highness is not shallow! Chen Shuda said to Li Chengdao and laughed:

"Hmmm! No, His Majesty gave His Highness the daughter of the Lanling Xiao family, well! I wonder where that girl is now? ......" Chen Shuda saw Li Chengdao's expression a little sad. Shut your mouth right away!

"Ahh Old Master Chen, in fact, there is nothing? It's just that that girl is not a child of a family, and after that case, she was disheartened, and now she has escaped into the empty door! ”

"Oh! What a chaste woman! Chen Shuda said in his heart - hum! Didn't I know that Chen Zhen'er had escaped into the empty door? And not only escaped into the empty door, but also in the old monarch's view.

"Oh! Your Highness, ...... is here today."

"Old man! Xiao Wang heard that the girl was a monk in Lao Junguan, and the old lady and Lao Junguan have always had an incense relationship with Lao Junguan, so Xiao Wang wanted to ask the old man to come forward to meet Xiao Wang and Zhen'er girl and build a bridge from it. ”

"Your Highness!" Chen Shuda's gaze suddenly became stern!

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, what do you think of the old man! That Taoist temple is a pure place, and the old man is not a matchmaker who talks about matchmaking. This kind of thing, the old man can't do it! Li Chengdao saw that Chen Shuda said that he was strict in righteousness, and he couldn't force it, so he had to stand up:

"Old man! Since the old man was unwilling, Xiao Wang said goodbye first! Zhao Wang Li Chengdao was about to leave, Chen Shuda shouted:

"Your Highness, wait! Your Highness, slow down! Lee Seung-do turned around.

"Your Highness, wait! Your Highness, slow down! Ha ha! Chen Shuda suddenly changed his face.

"Hey! Your Royal Highness, there is a popular saying among the people, called heroes are short of breath, and children are long! In fact, when the old man was young, he also had an adventure like His Highness, but it's a pity! At the beginning, it was also the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker! So, old man, I also have regrets! Chen Shuda said with emotion.

"What does the old man mean? ……”

"Your Highness, the old man will definitely help you with the things you have requested! The old man and the cheap man will definitely help His Highness fulfill his wish! ”

"Ahh Then Xiao Wang thanked him! Of course, Zhao Wang Li Chengdao also knows that there is no free lunch in the world. It's not okay to make some promises at this point.

"Hmmm! Old Master Chen, this king heard that the four sons of Old Master Chen are not very smooth in their careers! ”

"Hey! Oh, yes! Although my dogs are all working for the imperial court, their careers are not smooth! ”

"Don't worry! When the old man was in the grandfather of the emperor, he was an important minister of the imperial court, and the old lady Chen was born in the Langya Wang family, with a family history, are your four sons? This king only knows the third prince, and through these days of contact, this king knows that the third prince is a very good talent! In the future, Xiao Wang will definitely recommend it to his father! ”

"Ahh The old man would like to thank His Highness! Chen Shuda also knew in his heart that it would be impossible for his four sons to progress together, but if he could arrange one first, even if there was only one dignitary at that time, then he Chen Shuda would be the right ancestor. Li Chengdao stayed very late in the Jiangguo Mansion, and did not come out of the Jiangguo Mansion until it was dark, and at the gate of the Jiangguo Mansion, Li Chengdao said goodbye to Chen Shuda and Mrs. Chen:

"Ahh Old Master Chen, Old Mrs. Chen, Xiao Wang has said goodbye! ”

"Slow down! Please! ”

"Old Master Chen, Old Mrs. Chen! Please come back, too! It's a cold day! Please come back, two of you! ”

"Good! The prince walks slowly! The prince walks slowly! When Lee Seung-dao was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly saw a figure in the dark place on the corner of the street. But all of a sudden, it flashed by. Li Chengdao only hesitated in his heart, but still entertained with Old Master Chen and Old Mrs. Chen, and got into the carriage. In the carriage, Lee Seung-dao was thinking:

"Who is that person? Could it be that this king is dazzled! ”
