Chapter 114 The Old Thing
Li Chengqian did not rush back to General Tiance’s mansion from outside the city until the afternoon, and almost delayed the agreement with Yan Lide for this.
There was nothing he could do about this. He waited until Sun Simiao left before he remembered that this old Taoist was a doctor, and those cows with noses were just in need of a doctor to get some medicine to ensure that his wounds did not get inflamed.
Although it is a bit unauthentic to let a miracle doctor like Lao Sun do the work of a veterinary doctor, isn’t there any way to do it?
I sent someone to find Lao Sun, and then sent someone to follow Lao Sun to find the pharmacy to get medicine. It was the afternoon after going back and forth.
As the agreed time was coming, I could only put the cow aside first and go back to the appointment.
The main courtyard of General Tiance's mansion, the place where Li Shimin used to discuss matters has now been changed to a living room. Li Chengqian sat in the main seat, with Wei Zheng sitting on his left hand. Luo Chengzu, who was angry at the morning court, was smiling from the other side of the two, and had a great chat with Li Chengqian.
No matter how prejudiced he is, Li Chengqian is the identity of the prince and cannot be despised.
After three rounds of wine, five dishes, and the calf has almost finished speaking. Wei Zheng, who had not spoken much, smiled and said, "Li De, winter is coming soon. I'm about to stop working in Jiucheng Palace, right?"
There was nothing dirty between Yan Lide and Wei Zheng. After all, they should be considered the same type of people. He smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I'm going to tell you that Brother Xuancheng, the matter of repairing Jiucheng Palace has just been less than half completed. Your Majesty is urging him again. If you want to rest, you have to wait for a while."
Wei Zheng frowned and said in surprise: "Oh? The project over there is really so troublesome?"
"It's not a problem, but the Jiucheng Palace has experienced war and is very damaged. If you want to repair it according to Your Majesty's wishes, it's not OK to not hurry up."
"So that's what it is..."
"What, Brother Xuancheng has something to do?
"It's nothing big. I originally planned to borrow a few people from my brother to create some equipment. Since my brother is not in enough personnel... Forget it, I'd better think of other ways. If it really doesn't work, I'll borrow a few from the Ministry of Works."
There is no need to be a heavy hammer when the drum is ringing. Yan Lide looked at Li Chengqian when he heard this. It happened that Li Chengqian was also looking at him.
He is soft-hearted and has short hands. Given Li Chengqian's behavior of coming to ask for people yesterday, how could Yan Lide not know who Wei Zheng's words mean?
"This, Your Highness..."
"Mr. Yan, you won't even leave this little face for Gu? You just borrowed a few people and will naturally repay you after using it. Moreover, Gu can promise that Gu will never refuse any matters in prison in the future. How about?"
Yan Lide was a little embarrassed: "Is it really just a borrower?"
"certainly!"
Speaking of this, Yan Lide was reluctant and could only nod and agreed: "Then... well, what kind of person does Your Highness need? Just let Brother Xuancheng go to the general prison to pick people."
"Happy, come on, Lord Yan, I will give you another cup."
Yan Lide himself did not want to offend Li Chengqian because of this small matter. However, although there are many craftsmen of various types, there are only a few real experts. If Li Chengqian was really asked to transfer people directly to Sinong Temple last time, there would be no need to do any major projects that would be under the supervision in the future.
Since Li Chengqiancheng personally promised that the person was just borrowed, Lao Yan would naturally not continue to interfere. He happily wrote a note on the spot, and Xi Junmai, who was guarding outside, took it directly to take the person in charge.
At a banquet, the guests and hosts had fun. In the end, Li Chengqian even gave Yan Lide two jars of distilled liquor and promised to send 50,000 kilograms of charcoal to the supervisor after a while.
Poor Yan Lide didn't realize that he sold a few capable subordinates with only two jars of wine and 50,000 kilograms of charcoal. Before leaving, he thanked Li Chengqian for his gratitude.
The prince is better at doing things. With these 50,000 kilograms of charcoal, he can be a vigilant and give benefits openly.
What, you said there is only carbonite but no stove?
What is that kind of stove that burns charcoal to be used as a supervisor? You can knock out one with iron in minutes.
"Old Luo, what's going on today? You're not feeling so emotional." After seeing Yan Lide away and returning to the house, Li Chengqian noticed Luo Chengzu, who had never spoken much from beginning to end, and was a little puzzled if this old guy was stimulated.
"Your Highness, you might as well change me. The old minister of the Ministry of Ancestral Temple really can't do it anymore." Thinking of the grievances he suffered in front of Mingde Hall in the morning, Luo Chengzu's tears were almost gone, and he sat on the steps at the door, wiping his tears.
"What's wrong? Who's upset you?"
"That's right, Lao Luo, hurry up. You are from the third-rank Siong Temple Minister, who is a little bit like a little in front of the hall." After being with Li Chengqian for a long time, Wei Zheng also had some bad habits and asked someone to just add the other person's surname. Not to mention, it would be quite exciting to call him like this.
But Luo Chengzu didn't take this trick, and no matter how Wei Zheng said it, he wouldn't get up.
However, during this period, I told the story of what happened in the morning court from beginning to end, and finally said with a blushing face: "Your Highness, those guys are so bullying. Sinong Temple has only been going through a few days, so I will squeeze us together. I said that Your Highness has a deep meaning to put the cow on the nose. They all mocked the old minister for being crazy about gaining and losing his heart."
"That's it?" Li Chengqian said indifferently, "They like to say you let them say it. After a few days, the injuries of the cows healed. Now the joy they dance, the slap they will be in the face will be as fierce as they will be."
"But what to do if we convert dry land to paddy fields? That is 5,000 hectares of fertile land. How many people need to complete irrigation for such a large area? Even if we start to do it now, it will be too late."
Li Chengqian curled his lips: "Old Luo, calm down. What do you think Gu borrowed from the general to serve as a prisoner? It's not to complete the irrigation task of the 5,000 hectares of fertile fields. Okay, get up quickly and don't be lazy on the ground. Gu promises you that you will definitely vent your anger in a few days."
"Really? Your Highness, you can't lie."
He was a decade old and looked at himself with tears in his eyes like a little kid. Li Chengqian was in a bad mood. He rolled his eyes and said, "I said you are so old, right? If you don't get up or not, I will replace you."
Luo Chengzu, who had achieved his goal, saw that Li Chengqian was really anxious and quickly stood up from the ground: "Is it okay for me to believe me? That, Your Highness, see when will we start?"
