Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 212 I Want to Set an Example

Outside the city of Chang'an, the Six Commander Barracks

The soldiers of the Six Commands who received the call-up order also happily returned to the barracks from all over Guanzhong. It had been a long time since there was such a bustling barracks crowd, and the robes and zealots were also talking about the past of them fighting side by side.The generals are also unwilling to take care of them at this time. After all, they are about to go up to fight for their lives, and they don't know if they can come back alive.

To say that if they were asked to put down the three-acre land at home and go out to fight when they were rushing to spring plowing, the soldiers would definitely have resentment in their hearts.They are all digging in the land with their faces facing the black soil and their backs facing the sky. What should I do if I care about my mother-in-law and children who are fighting?

But now they are not worried. Last year, when the imperial court promulgated the decree on the care of disabled veterans in Guanzhong, they did not forget them. To ensure that the soldiers who are away from the army have no worries.

Because Li Chengqian was staying here for a few days in a row when he was about to go to war, this time he was different from the past as the chief of the army, and Li Chengqian needed to give instructions a lot more than before.Fortunately, there is Changsun Shunde, an old man who is good at accidents, by his side, leading Qin Huaiyu and the others to do a lot of things, which made Li Chengqian's impression of him much better.

But when Li Chengqian was very busy, Du Gou brought a small cart and some stones to ask Li Chengqian to pay the bill.

"Your Highness, Liu Family Xiaosan, Liu Qing has already burned the cement you want according to His Highness's request. After repeated testing according to your request, I feel that it has met your requirements. Here are the detailed production processes and experimental data. The sample minister is also brought to you, do you think so?"

During the conversation, he presented the notebook in his hand to Li Chengqian, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's final reply.In fact, he had already said this a few days ago when he came to deliver the ordnance to the Liu rate. For the sake of caution, Li Chengqian asked him to confirm it again and again. After all, this is related to the construction of national defense projects in the future.

Of course, he also knew why Du Gou made this special trip today, it was just to make himself fulfill his original promise.

"Fumin, it can be seen that you like that kid very much, otherwise you wouldn't be so eager!" After some checks, Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian returned to the handsome tent, and then Heng Lian joined the two. cup of hot tea.

"What Your Highness said is that that kid was born poor and humble, but he is a good young man who is down-to-earth and hard-working." After speaking, he took a sip of the tea Heng Lian handed over, and looked at Li Chengqian, who was sitting in the handsome seat, with a smile.

This title can be said to be a great wealth for the family background of their craftsman. It can make them prominent in front of others. match.

And it is also a spur to those craftsmen, let them know that as long as they pay, the imperial court will never treat them badly, and they can also rely on their craftsmanship to make their families live a good life, and they can stand up straight in front of others. No longer belittled by others.

"Of course, if you do a good job, you should be rewarded. Besides, this matter is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. It is unreasonable not to give a lot of rewards. In this way, I will write a memorial to my father to protect him as the ninth-rank master of the Ministry of Industry. With a baron, let him continue to serve the court under your command. In addition, the Palace will reward him with a thousand gold, how about it? I am satisfied with this."

After receiving Li Chengqian's affirmative reply, Du Gou stood up with a smile and saluted Li Chengqian, and said in his mouth that he thanked His Royal Highness Long En for their family.

"Okay, don't fix those fake things. After you go back, you should pay close attention to the production of ordnance. In addition, after the army marches west, you have to start building a lot of workshops to produce cement. You must first repair the roads in Chang'an and its vicinity.".
After Li Chengqian's playbook was sent to Chengqing Hall, the emperor happily approved it and told Zhongshu Province to implement it as soon as possible.Therefore, the Tang Dynasty added another way of conferring officials with skills, and many courtiers complained about this.

But since the imperial court was preparing for battle, no one dared to touch the emperor's sensitive nerves at this time, so even though there were many opinions, nothing serious happened.

Shu Palace
"Teacher, the prince actually asked the emperor to resign and confer a title on a lowly craftsman. Didn't he say that he could only be conferred with military merit? Is it because this person was recommended by the prince? This is too inconsistent with the imperial court regulations."

Li Ke had a look of resentment on his face, oh, the crown prince could have resigned from his position and conferred the title of knighthood, so these courtiers who were ruthless would rush to the East Palace.Don't rob everyone like this, they can go to the fief to hunt dogs and horses.

Li Ke was in a hurry here, but Cen Wenwen was indeed slowly tossing around the tea set, as if he didn't hear what Li Ke was saying at all.

Seeing that his words did not get a response from the teacher, Li Ke couldn't help asking anxiously: "Teacher, do you understand what Xiao Wang said?"

"Your Highness, isn't he just a little baron? What's the big deal? The old minister knows what His Highness means, but look at Yu Shinan and the others who have followed His Majesty for many years. Didn't you say anything?"

Seeing that, Cen Wenwen poured another cup of tea for Li Ke, and motioned him to drink it first: "Our goal has not been achieved, the king of Wei has already moved out of the Hall of Wude yesterday, and the situation between their brothers is already raging. The situation in North Korea and China is developing in our favor, so why worry about it!"

"At present, the imperial court is going to make a large-scale expedition to the west. Among us, Xue Wanche has not received an order to go to the expedition. The most urgent task is to find a way for him to make greater contributions and climb to a higher place. This is what His Highness should do. concern."

Cen Wenwen looked down on Li Chengqian's promotion of craftsmen, even if they were given higher titles and official positions, such lowly fellows would not be able to influence the situation of the court.

Unlike the army, whoever has more troops will be more beneficial to their future. The days after the emperor's Spring and Autumn heyday will be long, and whoever survives to the end will be the final winner.

"Hey, what can we do? We can't intervene in this kind of thing even if we want to. I heard that the prince, Fang, Du, and Li discussed the matter of this expedition. It would be great if Xue Wanche could squeeze in. Not bad."

"That's why we have to find a way to let him set a lot of military exploits. This example can't always be set by the prince. Chai Shao is old in our lineage. If we don't quickly find young and middle-aged generals with potential, it will take a few years for us to be in the army." This family fortune in the army will be wiped out by the years sooner or later."
