Li Shimin

Chapter 294 Your Majesty, I, Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guards, Have Been Bullied!

"Also, Your Majesty, if those wealthy businessmen and dignitaries travel far away and don't want to take their own carriages, they can also charter a carriage!"

Suddenly, thinking of something, Li Xuan continued: "It is the carriage of the carriage shop, including the carriage and the driver, all of them are paid to them, two hundred cash per day, and the carriage driver of the carriage shop will drive the carriage and carry them. Where do you want to go? When they arrive at their destination and don't want to ride in a carriage, check out and get out.

As for the drivers of the horse-drawn carriage shop, they only need to gather another carload of people in nearby counties and counties, and bring them back to Chang'an City! "

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others all stared at Li Xuan in astonishment.

"His Royal Highness King Jin has so many sources of income!"

"I even believe that His Royal Highness King Jin is the God of Wealth from the sky!"

"Your Majesty, my old Cheng's You Wuwei has thousands of veterans and thousands of disabled veterans who can be coachmen or run inns!"

Cheng Zhijie said excitedly.

"Don't worry Su Guogong, the veterans in my Zuo Wuhou's army are no less than You Wuwei!"

Changsun Wuji glanced at Cheng Zhijie and said slowly.

"Xuan Ba, how many veterans do you estimate will be needed for this trip?"

On the side, Li Shimin ignored the two, but continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, for a one-day journey, it is necessary to build a large inn for the rest of the veterans on horseback. At least a dozen veterans are needed. And between a state and a county, depending on the situation, the interval is five days or ten days. , Walk the carriage once.

As for how many veterans are needed, this matter needs to be calculated by the steward of the chariot and horse dealer! "

Li Xuan laughed lightly, and continued: "However, please let your Majesty know that both the innkeeper and the coachman need to know some words, or some arithmetic, and they won't pay more than the fare. Just be cheated by others!"

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, whoever dares to lie to me and wait for the twelve guards, my old Cheng will bring people tomorrow and smash their house!"

Cheng Zhijie's eyes widened and his face was full of anger.

"Don't worry, Duke Su. This king is just reminding you. After all, at least a thousand veterans will be needed to drive the car and open the inn. There is a lot of money flowing through the story every day, and it is easy to be deceived by others!"

Li Xuan was still not in a hurry, "Besides, being able to know some characters and do some arithmetic is not a bad thing for veterans!"

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, after the officials go back, they will send someone to teach the veterans of Zuo Wuhou to learn more about words and arithmetic!"

Changsun Wuji said hastily.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll go back with a whip and supervise the veterans of You Wuwei, to learn to read and do arithmetic!"

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie quickly responded.

"Of course, these inns need some shopkeepers to help manage them in the early stage. Therefore, during the period of raising carriages and inns, you need to step up training and train some qualified shopkeepers, so as to 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 those travelers to spend. Dare to stay again!"

"Haha, don't worry, Your Highness King Jin, this will never happen!"

Cheng Zhijie smiled awkwardly.

On the side, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others glanced at him quietly. Others may not, but the soldiers from Youwuwei definitely will!
At the same time, I secretly made up my mind that after returning home, I must pay close attention to training those veterans in arithmetic.

Even if you don't know how to read or write, you still have to learn arithmetic, otherwise you can really be deceived by those travelers.

There are so many merchants in the Tang Dynasty, especially those business travelers who travel from south to north, and the number of states and counties they travel to every year is even more numerous.

Not to mention the carriage shops, even the inns built beside the official roads, if it is true as Xuanba said, it can add at least one million yuan to the court every year.

If someone dared to speak to him like this, Li Shimin would definitely think that person was bewitching him.

However, this person is Xuanba, King Jin who is called the Great Sage and the God of Wealth by the family and the common people, his third brother Li Xuanba!

Even this way of making money, in his opinion, is a bit unimaginable.

However, according to past experience, it can certainly be successful.

The most important thing is that this kind of inn and carriage can help him spread his eyeliner 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 secretary of the Ministry of War, to call together a group of twelve guard generals, and began to discuss the candidates for veterans and remnants.

The number of people Li Shimin prepared was two thousand veterans.

Each guard is assigned a maximum of 170 quotas, 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 took Li Chengqian and others to sit in the other courtyard, enjoying the shade in the rough house, and Xue Rengui walked in with a look of excitement.

"My lord, there are two generals outside asking to see you!"

"General?"

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Li Chengqian and others beside him.

"Master, I don't even know!"

Li Chengqian and the others shook their heads again and again.

"who?"

Li Xuan looked at Xue Rengui suspiciously.

"My lord, they are the two generals of Zuo Xiao's cavalry, Zhang Gongjin and General Dou Yongqin!"

Xue Rengui hurriedly cupped his hands and replied.

"Why did the general of Zuo Xiao's cavalry come to Li's Village?"

Li Xuan looked puzzled.

However, when these words came out, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and the others all had strange faces.

"What?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Master, you are the general of Zuo Xiao's cavalry!"

Cheng Chusi laughed.

Forehead!
Hearing this, Li Xuan was taken aback.

"When did my master become the general of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard?"

On the side, Xue Rengui also looked puzzled, he had never heard that his own king was the general of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guards!

"Master, when you were proclaimed the King of Jin, His Majesty ordered you to be the General of the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guards!"

Li Chongyi quickly said: "It's just that His Majesty granted you permission not to go to Zuo Xiao's cavalry every day, and you don't have to worry about the military affairs of Zuo Xiao's cavalry. You haven't been to Zuo Xiao's cavalry for so long!"

Li Xuan's face was full of weirdness, it seemed that there was such a thing.

"It's just, why did these two come to see this king?"

Thinking about it, he said to Xue Rengui, "Let them in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Xue Rengui couldn't help shouting with joy, and walked out.

Soon, Xue Rengui led two rough men and walked in.

"The last general, Zhang Gongjin!"

"The last general, Dou Yongqin, sees the general!"

"You two, please stand up!"

Li Xuan saluted slightly.

"The last general, Zhang Gongjin, Dou Yongqin, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Immediately, the two saluted Li Chengqian again.

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but hastily returned the gift.

Afterwards, Li Xuan couldn't help asking curiously: "The two generals came to look for this king, but what's the matter?"

Immediately, Zhang Gongjin and Dou Yongqin, like a very wronged daughter-in-law, cupped their hands to Li Xuan with tears on their faces, and cried out.

"General, the general is here to ask the general to uphold justice for Zuo Xiao's cavalry!"

"Exactly, because the general hasn't been to the Ministry of War for the past few days, Zuo Xiao's cavalry guards have no one in charge, and they have been bullied all the time!"

"General, you don't know how hard it is for me to wait for Zuo Xiao's cavalry guards for [-] men..."

Seeing this, Li Xuan was dumbfounded and his eyelids twitched.

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others on the side felt the inexplicable familiarity, and subconsciously shuddered.
