Li Guoshi traveled thousands of miles, and the person he was looking for along the way was a man.

It's a young man.

He is a young, unmarried man.

The news spread throughout the entire patrol team, and naturally it also reached Lipu's ears.

At dinner time in the evening, Lipu came back from Wang Jian and Changping Jun, washed his face, and sat at the table to contemplate his emotions.

Li Jiang was picking up food for Lip Pu, signaling him to eat quickly, when he saw Lip Pu's little figure looking at Li Jiang for a moment.

The expression was hesitant.

"What, you don't want to learn martial arts anymore?"

Li Jiang asked casually, "These days, Lipu has been pestering the old general Wang Jian. After hearing about it, Lord Changping also rushed to Wang Jian every day to prepare to teach Lipu."

During these days abroad, Lipu studied martial arts with Wang Jian and the art of war with Lord Changping.

He was cheerful and full of energy every day, and he ate like a hungry wolf pouncing on his food. It was rare to see Lip like this.

"no……"

Lipu thought of something and hesitated: "Mom, I..."

When Li Jiang educated Li Pu, he never had the concept of this era that a filial son would emerge from a stick.

But like later generations, although she never gave birth or raised him, she still regarded Lipu as an independent person and a friend who could communicate with him.

Encourage him to speak his mind.

Although most of them refuse...such as taking pigs on a tour.

"Who were you bullied by?"

"Mom..."

Lipu looked at Li Jiang seriously: "They all said you brought back a man."

After thinking for a while, he affirmed: "A young, but not good-looking man!"

Li Jiang nodded: "That's right."

Lipu's face fell, and his eyes were a little red: "Are you going to take him back to Xianyang City?"

Seeing Li Jiang continue to nod, Lipu really wanted to cry now.

"Mom, why don't you explain it to me! Today I went to see this man named Chen Sheng..."

Li Jiang looked at Lip Pu doubtfully, waiting for his next words.

Unexpectedly, Lipu issued a final warning to Li Jiang: "Mom, if you don't explain, I'm going to make trouble!"

"What's the fuss about? What should I explain?"

"Everyone outside said that this is the father you found for me!"

After speaking, Lipu blinked his eyes: "Mom, this person can't do it!"

Li Jiang almost choked at Lip Pu's words. It was a bit funny, and he asked with some teasing thoughts: "Why can't it work?"

"This man is not as good-looking as the eldest son! Nor is he as powerful as His Majesty! He is only younger than Changping Lord Aweng."

Lip clapped his fingers and finally raised his head in confusion: "Why did my mother choose him?"

Li Jiang was going to be mad at this bastard.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

After finishing speaking, Li Jiang looked at Lip Pu, saw his slightly red eyes, and swallowed the words on his lips.

"There will be no one else around, my mother and I."

After saying that, he touched Li Pu's little head. He was an insecure child, and Li Jiang felt soft for a moment.

"It's not that I don't want my mother to find a new father, I just want her to find a better father."

Okay, I'm only moved for three seconds.

"Eat your meal!"

Li Jiang was speechless: "Children think too much and won't grow taller!"

"Mom, I'm very tall, and I'm taller than the young master..."

Li Jiang: Can’t you compare yourself with good people?

In fact, not only Lipu, many people don't understand it.I don’t understand what Li Jiang is thinking.

Not to mention that they couldn't understand it, even Chen Sheng, the person involved, couldn't understand it.

After the imperial master took him with him, he threw him to Zhang Han and ignored him.

Ying Zheng still couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Zhang Han to recruit Chen Sheng into the army to see if he could unleash any potential.

Slowly there were rumors that Li Jiang wanted to recruit some male favorites, if only Ying Zheng didn't know what Li Jiang was thinking.

Knowing Li Jiang's thoughts, I'm afraid he would also wonder if Li Jiang had any thoughts about Chen Sheng.

"General, you said that this is what the Imperial Guard likes?"

Zhang Han raised his eyes, looked at Chen Sheng, who was a little out of tune with the general next to him, and smiled: "Why, are you envious?"

"Tsk."

The deputy general shook his head: "I can't tell."

Zhang Han looked at Chen Sheng. He was unremarkable. He really couldn't figure out why Li Guoshi had to inquire about every place he went to. What he didn't say was that there were seven or eight people on the list of imperial advisors who he hadn't inquired about yet.

"what are you guys saying?"

A low and majestic voice sounded from behind the two of them, and Zhang Han's heart suddenly tightened.

He turned around and saluted directly to the person behind him: "Your Majesty..."

Ying Zheng looked at the two people in front of him, and then at the person they were talking about, Chen Sheng.

"As a military commander of the imperial court, he is like a child in the market, making assumptions and speaking dirty words."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Han and the deputy general: "You go and get twenty army sticks yourself. If you let me hear someone talking about right and wrong in the future, you will be dealt with according to military law! The army is not a place for you to criticize and gossip!"

If he hadn't been out on patrol, Ying Zheng would not have let it go like this.

Li Jiang didn't know anything about this matter, and even if she knew it, she wouldn't take it to heart.

If others want to speak, just speak, why bother to explain.

After learning that Ying Zheng had beaten Zhang Han that night, Li Jiang was extremely moved.

[Such a good brother Zheng deserves everyone’s heart-to-heart treatment for him! 】

[This life is not good. When I meet Brother Zheng, I am so pure in love! 】

[Crazy for politics, crazy for politics, bang against the wall for politics! 】

Next, Li Jiang mainly targeted Wu Guang and Liu Bang and their group.

Every time Ying Zheng went to a place, he would conduct on-site inspections, look at the defense plans of the county and city, and discuss with the courtiers how to pave the way.

All that's left is to decide whether to use prisoners to build the road or Qin soldiers to build it.

"Your Majesty, this road is quite close to the county. If the prisoners are allowed to repair it, it may cause chaos."

"Your Majesty, why not recruit troops..."

"No."

Wei Liao stood up and objected: "The people have just lived a stable life. If the army is drafted again, how will they recuperate? In other words, how much money will be spent on the treasury after the army is drafted."

Ying Zheng nodded. If the people were recruited to build roads, the court would have to pay a lot of money.

"National Master, what do you think?"

Li Jiang said without thinking: "Your Majesty, since this road is connected to the counties, it is better to recruit people from the respective counties to build the road."

"As far as I know, people who come to the city have to pay a city fee."

"Wouldn't it be great if we requisitioned the roads in front of the home county and reduced the entry fees for people coming to Lincheng?"

"It's easy to say! But how much money will the court lose by then?"

Wei Liao shook his head in disapproval. Even though the city fee was only one Qin half a liang, a small sum would add up to many Qin half a liang.

"Wei Ting, don't object in a hurry. If the money doesn't come from the people, it will naturally come from others."

Li Jiang looked at Ying Zheng: "It can come from merchants. Businessmen are doing business, and time is money. Naturally, they will not be stingy with the passing money."

"In this way, people only need to build roads in front of their homes and won't have to go too far to do corvee work, so there won't be so much resistance. As for paying for it..."

“Isn’t it normal to be paid for doing corvee service?”

[You can’t let the horse run away without giving it grass. 】

This road was built just for walking. You can't just allow people from the government to use it, but not the common people, right?
