Hearing Li Longji's question, Zhang Xiaobao was stunned, looked left and right, and asked, "Where does Your Majesty want to set up a cannon?" ”

"On the city wall, after the expansion, from the outside to the capital, you need to pass through two city walls, the outer city wall sets up a cannon, and the inside sets up another one, layer by layer defense, so far, the capital is worry-free. [](take more chapters]"

Li Longji waved his hand, and he really felt a little pointing at the country, but he was now pointing at the capital.

Zhang Xiaobao was speechless, Li Longji's vision was different from his, to be precise, it was the opposite of the other, of course, the earth is round, and if you go to the other side, you can also reach the place where you originally went.

Li Longji didn't hear Zhang Xiaobao's reply, turned his head to look, and saw Zhang Xiaobao's face showing helplessness, Wang Juan also seemed interested, and couldn't help but feel unconfident, and asked, "Xiaobao has a better way to defend?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiaobao replied with a word, looked at Wang Juan again, Wang Juan nodded, that means I support you.

Zhang Xiaobao then continued: "I plan to tear down all the city walls, and someone will come to the capital from outside, and set up a boundary monument on the road, and write the capital Chang'an, just do it." ”

After drawing twice, Zhang Xiaobao pointed to the direction of the palace again: "The cannons in the palace are not only to be shelved, but also to reserve a large number of firearms, loose on the outside and tight on the inside." ”

Wang Juan took over at this moment: "If Your Majesty is worried that someone will bring an army to Chang'an, you must first defend the enemy outside the country, not outside the capital." The Great Wall of the pre-Qin Dynasty failed to save it from destruction, and the truly unfallen Great Wall is in the hearts of the people, the people do not hesitate to die for the country, the merchants do not hesitate to lose money for the country, and they would rather die than retreat for the country. If so, one day someone can hit the capital, and without bricks and mud, the people will be able to build a flesh and blood wall for you, otherwise, even if it is cast with steel, there will be a day when it will be burned. ”

Li Longji stopped talking, fell into deep thought, surrounded by people, and walked aimlessly on the middle road of the open space outside, step by step, walking very slowly.

After a long time, he made a decision that made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan feel cold.

Instructed the guards around him: "Don't surround me, keep an eye on people who are not my Datang, I want to ...... If you want to make a show, yes, do a show, Xiaobao and Juan Juan will accompany me, and I will personally ask the people who are working. ”

"What?" Zhang Xiaobao was excited, stretched his hand back, and someone immediately handed over a revolver.

Wang Juan's eyes also widened suddenly, and he also wanted a revolver.

The two men tucked their guns into their sleeves and placed their other hands behind the firing pins of the guns.

nodded to Li Longji, who had a firm look on his face, which means, okay, if you dare to go up, we will risk our lives to accompany you.

Gao Lishi hurriedly took a few steps forward, obliquely in front of the emperor, and glanced at the guards around him.

When Li Longji walked towards a construction site where hired workers were working, dozens of figures popped out of the guards around Xiaobei, all dressed very ordinary, some with legs, some carrying work, and one "painter" carrying a large drawing board on his back.

Needless to say, this part of the people is plainclothes, belonging to the Zhang and Wang families, all of them are very conscious, and they don't need to be reminded by others, so they naturally know where to stand and conduct cross-monitoring.

I don't know if Li Longji is at ease with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, or if he has confidence in his personality charm, anyway, he walked all the way outside the construction site.

The gatekeeper who guarded the door and did not let people enter casually saw a group of people coming from a distance, not only saw people, but also saw the flag representing the emperor's identity.

I was already frightened stupidly, and I saw a man in gorgeous clothes walking over without anger, standing on the ground, swallowing his saliva vigorously, and couldn't even say a word.

"Two, are you still hard?" Li Longji walked up to the two, tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, and asked with concern.

"Your Majesty asked you two what to say, is it hard work?" Colliers leaned over and touched one of them with his finger.

After the man was touched, he reacted, shook his head vigorously, and then suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, touched his head to the ground, and shouted in his voice: "Long live Your Majesty." ”

The other man also knelt on the ground, just kowtowing, but unable to speak.

"Excuse me, excuse me, Thou ...... Uh, you two have worked hard. Li Longji stretched out his hand to help, but Gao Lishi didn't have time to take a step forward to help people. []

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were accompanying them left and right, had significantly narrowed pupils, but their faces were calm, and the same was true of the plainclothes people around them.

This person seemed to be bolder, and without Li Longji's help, he stood up by himself, and said while standing: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, I will come by myself, bury my body, don't, don't get dirty, you, your hands." ”

Li Longji is putting on a show, of course he wants to do a full set, holding this person's hands, looking the other party up and down, his eyes suddenly stopped on the other party's hands, and sighed: "Qiu Han, my hands are cracked, what do you do on weekdays?" Who else is in the house? Come on, bring my mink oil hand cream, this is a pair of hands that are silently dedicating to my Datang Anning. ”

"Becky." Zhang Xiaobao shouted.

Xiaobei in the back pouted, turned things out of his bag, and complained in a low voice: "It's generous, how do you know that I took two unopened ones today, I want to send them to Shuiyun's family." ”

After taking it out, he pulled Xiaoyuan up and walked forward, muttering to Xiaoyuan: "The next time you come out with Uncle Emperor, remember to remind him to bring all the things, this is us coming, if we don't come, what will he give?" Go to the palace for dinner in the evening. ”

"Then don't pick porridge to drink, how much porridge can you drink to drink back two parts of hand cream?" Xiao Yuan, who has always been reluctant to worry about it, also knows that he is distressed.

When the two walked forward, the person who was held by Li Longji was already in tears, and he couldn't wipe it, and his hand was supported by the emperor.

Sobbing and speaking incoherently.

Waiting for Xiaobei to send the things over, Li Longji figured out what the other party said, saying that he was doing carpentry work, the two high halls in the family were there, and there were three children, a daughter-in-law, the eldest child could help with the work, so he was cleaning up the wood inside, and the other two children were still young and were going to school.

I also know that I am grateful to the emperor for sending Xiaobao and Juan Juan to come up with the sunrise action, and thank the emperor for governing the country well, anyway, that's what it means, that's not what I said.

"Take it, one box per person, go back and wipe it on your hands, seeing your appearance, I feel ashamed, you have worked hard for Datang, but I can't take care of you often, hey! This thing is wiped on the hand, can prevent dry cracking, to be honest, I came out in a hurry, I didn't bring anything, first borrowed Xiaobei's use, Xiaobei nine is my Tang Dynasty patrol envoy, beheading corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the king can be impeached. ”

Li Longji took the things from Xiaobei's hands, told the truth, and didn't forget ★★ to introduce Xiaobei, making Xiaobei feel that he shouldn't have thought about going to the palace to eat a lot just now, or drink porridge.

The person who was supported by Li Longji was speechless with emotion, tears flowed down his face, and he kept nodding.

Li Longji patted the other party's shoulder again: "God, it's getting colder and colder day by day, I asked you to prepare sheep bone and pig bone soup for you to drink, money, I came out, what ...... things?"

Li Longji looked at Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and while vigilant, he replied: "The minister is responsible for buying it, and the minister will send out a batch of roast chicken on behalf of Zhuangzi." ”

There are officials in the back who also want to come forward and say how many things to donate, but let the guards stop them, which means that you don't join in the fun, it's easy to get out of danger if it's messy.

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you, for your kindness." The man with the two boxes of hand cream hurriedly thanked him.

Li Longji nodded with satisfaction, and when he walked forward, he didn't forget to joke: "One box for one person, don't leave it all by yourself." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The man reassured again and again, causing a burst of laughter.

Everyone continued to march inward, and after a short while, someone had already passed the news of the emperor's personal arrival to the official person in charge of the construction site.

The person in charge ran out alone, there were still oil stains on the corners of his mouth that had not been wiped clean, and he had to kneel down as soon as he arrived in front of Li Longji.

"You're in charge? Good food. Li Longji's brows furrowed.

The person in charge of this meeting is not kneeling, sitting on the ground with his ass, he can still hear the good words, his mouth is open, he doesn't spit out half a word, he wants to defend but doesn't dare.

Xiaobei leaned in and asked, "What good things were you eating just now?" ”

The person in charge glanced at Xiaobei gratefully, and someone asked, he could follow the words and reply to Xiaobei: "Master Zhang, I ate donkey meat just now." ”

"You know me?" Xiaobei wondered, does he have such a high reputation? Then he asked, "Why do you eat donkeys?" ”

The person in charge suddenly found out that Xiaobei was so cute, and his life seemed to be saved.

Busy said: "I know, who doesn't know the Lord Zhang who inspected my Datang place, the donkey is from the family of the hired worker who is working, and the work is crushed to death by wood, I see that he is distressed, so I paid for it, and asked everyone to order donkey soup at a time, and taste the steamed bun made of donkey meat." ”

"You pay for it yourself?" Xiaobei asked again.

"Yes, yes, Xiaguan's family is quite solid, you can see Xiaguan's belly, it is estimated that the expansion is good, and the belly has also gone down, it is really bitter, I follow the people in charge of the work, not to mention the people who work. Xiaguan's family also has a pig farm in Wannian County, and he is planning to transport a batch of pigs over to add fuel and water to everyone, in fact, Xiaguan is afraid that he is too hungry and too thin, and it is by the way for others to eat together, and Xiaguan's selfishness is too heavy. ”

The person in charge, touching his belly explained.

Li Longji glanced at him, didn't speak, and walked straight inside, and a maid in the crowd ran out first, accompanied by two guards.

After a while, he came back, pointed in one direction with his hand, and said to Li Longji, "Your Majesty, the kitchen is over there." ”

As soon as Li Longji looked at the clothes on the maid's body, he knew that the other party was the inner courtyard of King Zhang's family, secretly praised, and had a great ability to observe words and feelings, and there were too few people in the palace who were so clever and dared to do things immediately and independently.

Nodding to the maid, Li Longji walked to the kitchen, walked a hundred and ten steps, the breeze blew, and the smell of meat wafted in, yes, this is it.

The person in charge was beside him, following in small steps, not daring to look up, only looking at the ground.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Colliers stepped forward to take a look, and many people were staying by the kitchen, some with bowls, some with cakes.

Gao Lishi first looked at the bowl, how much soup in the bowl was, and then looked at the pot and the wooden barrel next to it, the soup in the pot was churning, the wooden barrel was already empty, and then he picked up the spoon and stirred it in the pot, the meat was indeed boiled, and the bottom could turn out the seasonings such as large ingredients.

Put down the spoon, turned around, and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, it's really not just cooked, I'll find someone else to ask." ”

After speaking, Gao Lishi pointed to a person who had not swallowed all the things in his mouth: "Come here, Your Majesty has something to ask." ”

"Your Majesty, the emperor is here, I saw you come in person, but I can't come yet." The person in charge will take the initiative to shout.

A hectic sound sounded, and a group of people knelt on the ground, some of the soup was spilled, some of the cakes had fallen, and they knelt there one by one, looking up, revealing a look of awe and curiosity.

"No courtesy, everyone get up quickly, delay everyone's meal, I am uneasy, smell the fragrance, I am hungry, make me a sandwich bun, scoop a little soup and pour it."

Li Longji immediately persuaded people to get up and take care of what the people wanted to eat.

Gao Lishi called the man over and began to ask in a whisper, the head of the person in charge lowered again, not daring to look at the person who was asked by Gao Lishi, for fear of misunderstanding Gao Lishi, if this is the case, it is estimated that Gao Lishi didn't even bother to ask.

The cook, who was in charge of cooking, trembled nervously and tried to get up, but his legs did not obey.

"What are you afraid of, you poisoned your flesh?" Becky shouted.

"No, no, how dare I go down, poison, don't believe I'll eat first, poison, first, poison me first." The cook trembled, and finally stood up, his face flushed, this is to make something for the emperor.

tried his best to control it, and only then did he make a sandwich bun, and Xiaobei grabbed it: "I'm hungry too, I'll eat one with Xiaoyuan first, and then you make it, and it's ready for the emperor's uncle." ”

Xiaobei spoke, and really took a bite, and clicked his mouth twice: "Put less salt, make do with it." ”

She didn't give it to Xiaoyuan, she took another bite herself, and continued to click: "Hmm! It's okay, there are flower root noodles in it, the coriander is a little old, why didn't you put the green onions? I tasted the taste of cinnamon and cloves, I didn't expect that there were a lot of seasonings here, the meat was quite chewy, and there was no smell of rotten meat, okay, you can eat it, Xiaoyuan, you can taste it. ”

Xiao Yuan took it, looked at the cake first, then picked up the shredded meat, sniffed it under his nose, and nodded: "There is a lot of ginger, why do you put garlic?" The first time I heard about donkey meat with garlic and cabbage leaves washed. ”

Take another bite, carefully put the meat on your teeth with your tongue, and then suck the soup in your mouth: "It's not old soup, and it doesn't feel numb." ”

Only then did the other officials realize that Xiaobei and Xiaoyuan were the first to test the poison, and I have to say that the people's mouths really worked, because the cook nodded and admitted it again and again.

sighed in my heart, no wonder His Majesty values Xiaobei Jiuren so much, the children are too sensible, and if they are replaced by an adult, they will come and snatch the buns, which will make people think that Huang Hesang is not at ease, and the children will be fine, and they like to make trouble.

The cook saw that the first one was tasted, and he tasted it, so he started to make the second one, and he understood in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, the emperor ate in the palace, and someone was also responsible for tasting the poison.

The second one was done, and Gao Lishi took it and sent it to Li Longji, and at the same time made a look, which meant that he was finished, yes.

Li Longji looked at Xiaobei, sighed, opened his mouth to bite off a large piece, chewed it vigorously, waited for it to swallow, and said, "Okay, someone thought of me in front of me, okay, what's your name?" How many official positions are there? ”

The person in charge fell back with a heart and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, my name is Yuan Yuan, the engineering department under the Ministry of Engineering, and the main book under the seventh grade." ”

"Oh, let's be an outsider, it's still the engineering department." Li Longji directly promoted Yuan Yuan from the seventh grade to the sixth grade, which can be said to be a three-level jump in a row, crossing the seventh grade and the sixth grade.

"Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace, I'll send the pig when I turn around." Yuan Yuan knelt down to thank him, and promised that the pig's affairs would be done well, and he would be promoted to the third level, and it would be worth it to bring all the pigs raised at home.

Li Longji no longer paid attention to Yuan Yuan, and took the sandwich bun: "Eat all, eat all, I came over today, just to see, don't think about it." ”

After saying that, he took a big bite again.

Seeing that the emperor let him eat, and the emperor himself was eating, everyone spilled the soup and went back to wash it, and the cake fell and picked it up to blow the ashes, and they were reluctant to throw it away and continue to eat.

accompanied him to eat a sandwich bun, Li Longji began to turn to other places again, Xiaobei and Xiaoyuan finished eating, and the housekeeper asked for more than a dozen, and some people didn't eat, and the brothers and sisters always had to leave a grinding tooth.

The chef has brought his skill level to the peak, and other people have no opinion, just eat one bite less, and can eat in a pot with the officials, and he will have a long face when he talks about it.

After Li Longji finished turning around the place where the people were working, he went to the barracks, ate two spoonfuls of salted beans, asked a few words, and finally came to the site of Zheng Zheng's building.

At this point, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief and slandered Li Longji for being too pitiful.

Li Longji was in a good mood, but he was a little thirsty, he ate salted beans and salty beans just now, and he was still holding Xiaobei in his arms, because just now he wanted to help someone carry the wood, but he was stopped by Gao Lishi, and he didn't agree.

In order to show his strength, he picked up Xiaobei next to him, and walked all the way here, no one in the officials dared to talk more, Xiaobei tasted poison just now, how much courage is this? You have to be smart.

Li Longji looked at the orderly appearance of the construction site, coughed lightly, and asked, "Is there soup?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is egg drop soup." The person in charge of Zheng Zheng Construction was not as nervous as others and replied respectfully.

"Is it salty? What is the staple food for a bowl without saltiness? Li Longji asked again.

"Steamed buns, when you work, you have energy to eat steamed buns." The person in charge replied.

Xiaobei slipped out of Li Longji's arms: "A bowl of soup, a steamed bun, the emperor's uncle was salty just now." ”

The person in charge immediately went to make arrangements, and in a moment, the things were personally brought to the place by him.

This time, Li Longji didn't need others to try it first, he blew his breath, took a sip of soup first, pinched down a piece of steamed bun, stuffed it in his mouth, and then drank the soup, and breathed comfortably.

said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "The previous thing, I passed first, I don't want the city wall, I have thousands of people, why are you afraid of his small country attacking?" Xiaobao, the money in the money bank, it should be spent, do more...... That's called ...... Oh, it's called public welfare. ”

Zhang Xiaobao also made a bowl of soup, and when he heard Li Longji speak, he stopped his movements, and then replied: "What Your Majesty said is very true, only when money is spent and used for public welfare can you earn more, and the circulation of currency is the way to stability." Since His Majesty is talking about public welfare, the minister has something to say, in addition to repairing bridges and roads, he should also use the money directly on the people's livelihood, and it is convenient for the minister to make more money. ”

"Oh? Xiaobao, do you have a clever plan again? Let's talk to me first, and let me guess. Li Longji is interested, guessing Xiaobao's riddle is a very interesting thing, although he can't guess it all.

Zhang Xiaobao was not in a hurry, he took a sip of soup first, Fang cleared his throat and spit out two words: "Military horse." ”
