Chapter 442: Meeting

Li Chengqian understood what Li Shen meant, Wu Meiniang was about to give birth in more than four months, this was Li Shen's first child,

For Li Shen, the meaning is different, so he can also understand Li Shen's thoughts.

But not to mention that he needed Li Shen's help, even Li Shimin would not agree, after all, Li Shen was very important to Goguryeo's plan.

Li Chengqian didn't speak, this is not something he can say, Li Tai and Li Zhi glanced at each other, in fact, they wanted Li Shen to go out,

Li Shen has not been in Chang'an for most of the year, but he has regained his calm, and Li Shen will always do something that makes them unhappy in Chang'an.

"Tenth brother, the fourth brother thinks you should still go to Goguryeo, after all, you are needed there, as a prince, we should be duty-bound to make meritorious contributions for the Tang Dynasty or for me Li Tang Jiangshan, so that your children and grandchildren can also get better treatment"

Li Tai said to Li Shen.

"The fourth brother is right, the tenth brother, the boy is determined in all directions, he should ride the horse and whip, gallop on the battlefield, and be gentle in the hero mound, the tenth brother can't do it." Li Zhi chimed in.

Li Shen glanced at the two of them, didn't speak, and didn't bother to pay attention to them, now these two people are a little transparent in Chang'an, and they haven't been jumping for long.

In a few years, Li Shimin will let them go to the fief before passing on the throne.

Li Shen took Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang into the carriage and returned to the palace, and Lu Dingniang waited for Li Shen to bathe and rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, after Li Shen got up, he came to the study, where the three giants of King Ji's Mansion, including Xiao Di Renjie, were waiting.

After Li Shen came in, the four of them saluted and said:

"I've seen the prince."

"Well, sit down, these days when this king is away, I have worked hard for you, rest assured that this king will never treat you badly." Li Shen sat down and said to Wang Hongfu and the others.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." A few people thanked them.

"Let's talk about it, the recent thing, the old rules, Lao Wang, you talk about it first."

After hearing this, Wang Hongfu immediately said:

"Lord, the palace is now on the right track in business, and the income from the account book has been handed over to the princess for inspection, and the villain will talk about other aspects.

The construction of the college is almost complete, and if it cannot be completed this year, it can be completed in the first half of next year.

There is also the industrial park in our house, which has been built by a third of this year, and has been suspended.

The palace next to Weishui was half-built, and the work was also stopped.

And the construction of our Jiwang Mansion has only just been built this year, and it took a year to demolish and transport the houses in the early stage, and some wood is still being transported. ”

Wang Hongfu said this and looked at Li Shen, Li Shen didn't move, raised his head and asked:

"Gone?"

"Yes, Lord Wang," Wang Hongfu nodded.

"And what about my sister's princess's mansion?" Li Shenyi frowned, this is more important than his mansion, if he forgets this, Li Shenke will be furious.

"Princess Linchuan's princess mansion should be built in the middle of next year, and now the prototype has been completed." Wang Hongfu immediately replied that he knew that this was more important than anything else.

Li Shen's face softened, and other things were slowed down, but his sister's princess mansion couldn't be slow.

"And about cotton, which the king commanded before he left." Li Shen asked again.

"Back to the prince, I am currently working in a hurry, and all of them have been made into cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton hats, cotton shoes, and cotton gloves that the prince said.

The standard is only one grade lower than that of the guard battalion, the cold protection effect is excellent, and the cotton quilt is also being processed, but the prince and our craftsmen are not enough, so it is a little slow. ”

After hearing this, Li Shen asked:

"How many sets have been made?"

"Back to the prince, at present, we can equip a full set of cotton items for 70,000 people. It will take time to think more, and the shopkeeper there said that we can only make cotton for 300,000 people. ”

Wang Hongfu glanced at the notebook in his hand and said.

"It's only 300,000 sets, how can it be so much, didn't this king say that he would increase planting?" Li Shen asked a little unhappily.

"Lord Wang, we have increased the planting area, and the local people who can plant have started planting, but the number is limited, and many people would rather graze than plant." Wang Hongfu explained.

"Reluctant to plant? Why, is it because the money given is not enough? Li Shen was puzzled, but Li Shen didn't bother and continued:

"Lao Wang, next year we will recruit people to plant more cotton, and we will also give a higher price for this year's cotton.

Next year, we will publicize the benefits of growing cotton in the newspapers, encourage everyone to emigrate, we can supply them with seeds, and the king will not believe it, there is enough profit, and no one can do it. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Wang Hongfu agreed.

"By the way, what happened to the king to set up a fleet of horses, when the king said that he would use them to transport people, and the king called it a bus. Wang, did you do it? ”

Li Shen suddenly thought about the bus, although it didn't make much money, but it was convenient for everyone's travel habits.

"Back to the prince, at present we only have a few routes, all from the various city gates to the east and west cities, according to the prince's instructions, no matter where you sit, no matter how far you sit, it is a penny,

Nowadays, most businessmen are accustomed to our buses and take our buses every time they go back and forth.

And even people sometimes take our buses out of the city and into the city. ”

Li Shen nodded after hearing this,

"Well, you're doing a good job, and when I have time, we're going to make the bus thing a little more detailed, and we're going to add more routes.

To make the rest of Chang'an follow us, and then we sell them carriages, this is what we make money,

And it can also facilitate the travel of the people, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Wang Hongfu's report is completed, and it is Wang Xuance's turn to take care of external affairs.

Wang Xuance saw Li Shen's eyes looking at him and said:

"Lord Wang, there are some eyebrows about the matter of the northern grassland, but it is uncertain, it is being investigated now, and there should be results soon,

The pirate group felt that the deputy head Zhao Derong was not very reliable, and the seventy-sixth came back and said something about Zhao Derong, proud of his achievements, somewhat impetuous, and even thought about going out to be the king of the pirates.

However, I was warned once by the seventy-sixth, and the current performance is okay. ”

"Have you found out who the North is?" Li Shen doesn't care about Zhao Derong's affairs, if he can't do it, he can take it, and throw it in the sea to feed the fish.

He mainly wants to know who is having trouble with him, whether it is aimed at Datang or himself.

"Lord Wang, this is also thanks to General Ashina Zhong, his subordinates saw a person in the northern grasslands, and this person he accidentally saw when he came to Chang'an to deliver things to Ashina Zhong.

Out of curiosity, he followed this person to the back door of a Zhumen compound he didn't know. And saw a person. ”

"Who'???"

(Tired like a dog, I have to update to two o'clock, poor and pitiful rating.) Push the book. Tomorrow we will continue to work in the fields. Adjournment)
