Chapter 293 Your Majesty, my Zuo Xiao Cavalry was bullied!
"Also, Your Majesty, if those wealthy businessmen and powerful people are traveling far away and don't want to take their own carriages and don't mind the trouble, they can also charter a carriage!"
Suddenly, thinking of something, Li Xuan continued: "It is the carriage from the carriage house, including the carriage and the coachman, all of which are contracted to them. They are paid two hundred coins a day. The coachman from the carriage house will drive the carriage and carry them.
Where do they want to go? Wait until they reach their destination and no longer want to take the carriage, check out and get off.
And the driver of the carriage shop only needs to gather another carriage of people from the nearby prefectures and counties to drive him back to Chang'an City!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but look at Li Xuan in shock.
“His Royal Highness the King of Jin’s wealth is so extensive!”
"We all believe that His Highness, Prince Jin, is the God of Wealth from heaven who has descended to earth!"
"Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, have over a thousand veterans in your right guard, as well as thousands of disabled veterans. They can all serve as coachmen or open inns!"
Cheng Zhijie said with excitement.
"Don't worry, Duke Su. The veterans in my Zuo Wuhou army are no less than those of You Wuwei!"
Changsun Wuji glanced at Cheng Zhijie and said slowly.
"Xuanba, how many veterans do you estimate this chariot and horse operation will need?"
On the side, Li Shimin ignored these two people and continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, for one day's journey, we need to build a large inn for the veterans of the carriage and horse racing to rest. At least ten veterans are needed. And between one state and county, depending on the situation, there will be an interval of five or ten days.
, one carriage ride.
As for how many veterans are needed, this matter needs to be calculated by the steward of the horse and carriage agency!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly and continued: "However, your Majesty, please know that both the innkeeper and the coachman need to know some words or some arithmetic. They will not be cheated by others on top of the fare!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Prince Jin. Whoever dares to deceive me and the twelve guardsmen, I, Old Cheng, will lead my men tomorrow to destroy their house!"
Cheng Zhijie's eyes widened with an angry look on his face.
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Su. I'm just giving you a warning. After all, after the carriage tour begins, at least a thousand veterans will be needed to drive and open inns. There is a lot of money flowing through every day, and it is easy to be defrauded!"
Li Xuan was still unhurried, "Besides, knowing some writing and arithmetic is not a bad thing for a veteran!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the King of Jin. After I return, I will send someone to teach the veterans of Zuo Wuhou how to learn more words and arithmetic!"
Changsun Wuji said quickly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will go back and carry a whip to supervise the veterans of the Youwu Guard to learn literacy and arithmetic!"
Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie also responded quickly.
"Of course, these inns still need some shopkeepers to help manage them in the early stage. Therefore, during the period of raising carriages and inns, you still need to step up training and train some qualified shopkeepers, so that you can make money."
Li Xuan reminded again: "Otherwise, a group of killers who came down from the battlefield would hold a steel knife in their hands every day and force the travelers to spend money. In less than two days, they would be able to scare the travelers.
Dare to stay again!”
"Haha, don't worry, His Highness King Jin, this will never happen!"
Cheng Zhijie smiled awkwardly.
On the side, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others looked at him quietly. Others may not, but the soldiers from your right guard will definitely!
At the same time, I secretly made up my mind to train those veterans in arithmetic after returning home.
Even if you can't read, you still have to learn arithmetic, otherwise you will really be deceived by the travelers.
There were so many merchants in the Tang Dynasty, especially those traveling from north to south, and they visited countless prefectures and counties every year.
Not to mention the carriage houses, even the inns built next to the official road, if it is true as Xuan Ba said, it can add at least one million yuan to the imperial court's income every year.
If someone dared to speak to him like this, Li Shimin would definitely think that person was trying to confuse him.
However, this person is Xuanba, the third brother of King Jin, who is called the Great Sage and the God of Wealth by the aristocratic family and the people of the world, Li Xuanba!
Even this way of making money seemed a bit unbelievable to him.
However, based on past experience, it will definitely be successful.
The most important thing is that this kind of inn and carriage house can help him spread his contacts all over the world.
This is what he values most.
Immediately, after returning to the palace, Li Shimin asked Du Ruhui, who was still the minister of the Ministry of War, to summon a group of twelve generals and began to discuss the selection of veterans and remnants.
The number of people Li Shimin prepared was two thousand veterans.
Each guard is allocated a maximum of 170 places, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge number of veterans and disabled soldiers in each guard.
The next day.
Li Xuanzheng, Li Chengqian and others were sitting in a separate courtyard, enjoying the cool air in a rough house, when Xue Rengui walked in with an excited look on his face.
"Your Majesty, there are two generals outside who want to see you!"
"General?"
Li Xuan was stunned and turned to look at Li Chengqian and others aside.
"Master, I don't even know!"
Li Chengqian and others shook their heads repeatedly.
"who?"
Li Xuan looked at Xue Rengui doubtfully.
"Back to your Majesty, they are the two generals of Zuo Xiao's Cavalry Guard, General Zhang Gongjin and General Dou Yongqin!"
Xue Rengui quickly handed over his hands and replied.
"What is General Zuo Xiao's Cavalry Guard doing in Lijiazhuang?"
Li Xuan looked confused.
However, as soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others all had strange expressions on their faces.
"What?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Master, you are the general of the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard!"
Cheng Chusi chuckled.
Forehead!
Hearing this, Li Xuan looked startled.
"When did I become General Zuo Xiaoqiangwei?"
On the side, Xue Rengui also looked confused. He had never heard that his king was the general of Zuo Xiaoqiwei!
"Master, when you were crowned King of Jin, His Majesty issued an edict to appoint you as General Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard!"
Li Chongyi said quickly: "It's just that your Majesty has given you permission not to go to Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard every day, and you don't have to worry about the military affairs of Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard. For so long, you haven't even been to Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard once!"
Li Xuan's face was full of weirdness. It seemed that this was really the case.
"But, what do these two people come to see me for?"
After thinking about it, he said to Xue Rengui on the side: "Let them come in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, Xue Rengui couldn't help shouting with joy and walked out.
Soon, Xue Rengui led two rough men in.
"The last general Zhang Gongjin!"
"The last general Dou Yongqin meets the general!"
"Both of you, please get up!"
Li Xuan bowed slightly.
"The last generals Zhang Gongjin and Dou Yongqin meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Immediately, the two of them saluted Li Chengqian again.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others could not help but return the gift quickly.
Later, Li Xuan couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "The two generals came to look for me, but what's the matter?"
Suddenly, Zhang Gongjin and Dou Yongqin, like the little wives who had been wronged, held their hands in front of Li Xuan with tears on their faces and cried.
"General, I'm here to ask the general to bring justice to Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard!"
"Exactly, because the general has not been to the military headquarters these days, Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard has no one in charge and has been bullied!"
"General, you don't know how hard it has been for me and my 20,000 men to wait for Zuo Xiao's cavalry..."
Seeing this, Li Xuan was stunned and his eyelids jumped.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others on the side felt an inexplicable familiarity and could not help but shudder subconsciously.
