Liu Da was stunned and said: "It seems to be on the Jiangzhou side of Hedong Road. Why does the Lord ask this?"
"I want you to go to Longmen County to help me find someone, named Xue Li, named Rengui, who is about eighteen or nineteen years old. If you invite him to Chang'an to join the army, if he doesn't agree, you can go there while he is not at home.
Talk to his mother about this, and no matter what, don't fight with him, you can't beat him." Lin Xuan said.
He promised Li Shimin to train an elite army.
But he only knew some training methods from his previous life, and he was blind when it came to military formations and horsemanship.
As for Cheng Chumo and the others, they had never even led soldiers, so Lin Xuan didn't have much confidence.
Although Xue Rengui has no experience in leading troops now, based on his reputation in history, he is still much better than Cheng Chumo and others.
He could remember the famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty. In addition to Cheng Yaojin and other veteran generals, the younger ones he knew were Xue Rengui, Su Lie, Xi Junmai and Wang Xuance.
He didn't know where to find Xi Junmai and Wang Xuance. Su Lie had made meritorious service in the East Turkic War and was now in a higher position than him, a brave general. Moreover, he was Li Jing's apprentice, so he probably didn't like him either.
After much deliberation, I could only choose Xue Rengui.
Liu Da said hesitantly: "Sir, what will happen to your safety if I leave? Why don't you send someone else to go?"
"This person is very important to me. Others can't show my sincerity. If there is something and I can't leave, I will go there in person. Don't worry about my safety. I will not leave Chang'an in the near future. Who dares to stay in Chang'an?"
Assassinate me?" Lin Xuan said.
This is Xue Rengui. Taking him in will not only help train soldiers, but also serve as a bodyguard. It's a great deal.
"Yes, the younger one will set off soon after the lord returns home." Liu Da said.
"No, you go back now and go to the accounting office to pay more money. Go right away." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Xuan explained uneasily: "Remember, if he doesn't want to, don't conflict with him. You are not his opponent. He is a filial son. Just convince his mother."
"Yes, little one, let's go right away!" Liu Day responded.
Although Liu Da didn't say anything, Lin Xuan said many times that he couldn't beat Xue Rengui, and he was still quite unconvinced.
Of course he will not harm Lin Xuan, but after Xue Rengui agrees, it will be no problem to discuss with him.
Lin Xuan arrived at the entrance of the industrial department with the remaining soldiers.
Looking at the dilapidated gate of the Ministry of Industry, Lin Xuan was speechless. After all, it was one of the six departments. The gate was just a facade, and it was not decorated beautifully.
The soldier stepped forward and showed his identity card to the soldier guarding the door, and the soldier went in to report.
Not long after, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry came out, clasped his fists at Lin Xuan and said: "Master Shangshu asked the officials to come and take the uncle of Jingyang County in."
"Thank you, sir." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Although he was an earl, Duan Lun was much higher than him in terms of title and official position, and he was still married to Li Shimin's sister.
No matter from which aspect, his status is higher than Lin Xuan, so there is no reason to come out to greet Lin Xuan.
Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, took Lin Xuan outside Duan Lun's office and said, "Jingyang County uncle, please wait a moment. I will go in and inform you."
Not long after, Duan Lun came out in person, laughed and said, "It's really brilliant that Bo Neng from Jingyang County came to the Ministry of Industry."
"Lord Shangshu, you have disgraced me." Lin Xuan said with cupped hands.
"Come on, let's talk in the office." Duan Lun enthusiastically pulled Lin Xuan in.
Duan Lun invited Lin Xuan to sit down, ordered someone to bring tea, and said with a smile: "I, along with everyone from the Ministry of Industry, would like to thank Uncle Jingyang County for the method of making salt. Because of the method of making salt, the Ministry of Civil Affairs approved the funds for the Ministry of Industry
A lot more."
Lin Xuan asked a little strangely: "Does the Ministry of Industry usually have very little funding?"
Duan Lun sighed and said: "The Ministry of Industry spends a lot of money to research things. The imperial court has been short of funds in recent years, so the funds granted to the Ministry of Industry are relatively small."
Lin Xuan didn't answer, he couldn't control these things.
"Master Shangshu, I came here this time to ask for your help." Lin Xuan said.
Duan Lun said with a smile: "Uncle Jingyang County has helped the Ministry of Industry a lot. Just tell me if you have any questions. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help."
Just listen to this, Lin Xuan didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Ministry of Industry has countless skilled craftsmen. I am going to build a house recently, and I want to ask some craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to help me build it. Of course, how much will it cost?
, I will pay it."
"What do you think I am doing? The craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry often take on some outside work when there are no tasks assigned by the court. I will arrange for you as many people as you want." Duan Lun agreed simply.
Lin Xuan, it sounds like something is wrong. Together with you, you often go out to make extra money.
"The house I want to build is about fifty acres. I don't know how many people I need. I can just help you calculate it. But my house is a bit special. I need to trouble you to help me select more capable craftsmen."
That's right!" Lin Xuan said.
Duan Lun was stunned and whispered: "Uncle Jingyang County, there are some things that cannot be built indiscriminately."
He heard Lin Xuan say something special, and Lin Xuan went to the Ministry of Industry to find craftsmen. He thought Lin Xuan was going to build a palace or something.
Except for royal palaces or temporary palaces, no one else is allowed to build palaces.
Lin Xuan explained: "Master Shangshu misunderstood. What I mean by special is that there was no such building before the Tang Dynasty, and the materials used are somewhat special."
Only then did Duan Lun react and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as it's not illegal, the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry can build it for you."
Just kidding, the palaces built by the royal family were all built by the Ministry of Industry. He still didn't believe that the house built by Lin Xuan was more difficult than building the palace.
"Then I'll bother you, Master Shangshu. Once the construction period is confirmed, I will send someone to the Ministry of Industry to pick them up." Lin Xuan said.
Duan Lun nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Lin Xuan said with his hands in hand.
Duan Lun persuaded him: "Sit down for a while, and I'll treat you to dinner later!"
"Next time I'll invite Master Shangshu. I really can't do it today. I have a lot of things to do." Lin Xuan said.
"In that case, I won't keep you here." Duan Lun stood up and sent Lin Xuan out.

There are five surnames and seven Wangs, and the Cui family occupies two Wangs, namely the Cui family of Qinghe and the Cui family of Boling. Due to the large number of people with the Cui surname of the two families and the migration of officials, the Cui family further divided into the Cui family of Zhengzhou and the Cui family of Yanling.

Cui Xu walked around the room uneasily.
"Bang bang..."
Just then, there was a low knock on the door.
Cui Xu was startled and shouted, "Who?"
"Sir, it's me, Cui Lin." Cui Lin whispered.
Cui Xu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to open the door.
After Cui Lin came in, Cui Xu looked around and quickly closed the door when he saw nothing unusual.
"How's it going? Have you found out? Where are those people?" Cui Xu asked quickly.
Cui Lin said with an ugly face: "Sir, those people failed and are all dead."
"How is that possible? That was a dead soldier trained by the family. He just assassinated Lin Xuan. How could they all be dead?" Cui Xu said in disbelief.
"Sir, I personally went to the fly pond to check. They are indeed all dead. Their bodies were buried by the fly pond county government. It is said that a group of bandits were wiped out." Cui Lin said.
Cui Xu grabbed Cui Lin and asked, "Where is Lin Xuan? Is Lin Xuan dead?"
Cui Lin shook his head and said, "No, I'm already in Chang'an."
"No? How could there be no? Why didn't Lin Xuan die? Trash, they are all trash." Cui Xu roared with a ferocious expression.
Cui Lin was startled and said quickly: "Master, please keep your voice down."
Cui Xu said with some despair: "What are you afraid of? Those dead soldiers are dead and can't be hidden for a long time. Lin Xuan caused me to lose my identity as the heir of the family. I only regret that I couldn't kill him."
"Young master can go find me. With my status in the family, I can definitely help you hide it. Only then will you have a chance to take revenge," Cui Lin comforted.
If you send out dead soldiers without the approval of the family, if the situation is serious, you will be expelled from the family.
And he is Cui Xu's follower. If Cui Xu is finished, he will not have a good outcome.
"Yes, yes, I'm going to find my father, and I'm going to kill Lin Xuan." Cui Xu's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
