Li Shen raised money quickly. He raised more than 40 yuan on the second day, and raised 100 million yuan on the afternoon of the third day, which was 80 yuan more than the expected 20 yuan.

Many people were unwilling to leave and wanted to lend money to Prince Ji's Mansion, even if there was no interest. Some people even sent a thousand guan and said they didn't have to pay it back.

However, Li Shen in Prince Ji's palace is the biggest, and what Li Shen says must be strictly implemented, so no one will accept money after 100 million yuan.

Most of the 100 million guan belonged to big businessmen, and they all started at least 15 guan. For example, Li Shen's uncle ordered someone to bring [-] guan the next day.

Those who took out the money were beaming with joy, while those who didn't give it away beat their chests, as if they had missed out on 500 million.

On the morning of the fourth day, Li Shen came to court again because he was late. He didn't want to stay in the court for more than two hours like a fool.

Seeing King Ji walking into the hall, many people guessed why he came.

"I've seen Aye." Li Shen stepped forward and saluted.

"What's the matter?"

"I would like to inform Aye that the loan has been completed and a total of 100 million yuan has been raised. Here is the account book for Aye to take a look at."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he took out the account book. Wang De went down and took the account book and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked through it and found that there were real people inside, without any trace of fraud.

"Well, you did a good job. In that case, we will start shipping to the Ministry of Civil Affairs today. Tang Aiqing will immediately start working on 20 military supplies from now on.

The Ministry of War selected the soldiers to gather in the Khitan territory, distributed food and grass first, and transferred back all the soldiers from the Yucai Academy so that they could go to Goguryeo together. "

Li Shimin issued an edict that everything was ready now but the east wind was needed. As long as the grain, grass, supplies and equipment were complete, they could send troops to Goguryeo.

"Aye, the tenth brother is really capable. He was able to raise millions of dollars in just three days. It seems that the tenth brother has great prestige among the people."

Just when everyone was preparing to go to court, Li Tai suddenly said such a sentence, and Li Zhi followed closely.

"What the fourth brother said is true. The tenth brother does have a great reputation among the people. I tell Aye that the tenth brother has now raised millions of military expenses for the court. I feel ashamed to share Aye's worries.

Er also wants to share Aye's worries. Er asks him to take charge of water conservancy construction in various places and do something within his ability for the people of Tang Dynasty. Hope Ayen is right. "

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhi and said below.

"What do you think of King Jin's request?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that Prince Jin is very filial and dedicated to sharing His Majesty's worries. I can train Prince Jin."

Yang Yuanyi, the provincial minister under the door, stood up and said.

"I think so too."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

For a while, the gentry officials who supported Li Zhi came out to agree, but there was no objection from Li Tai.

"In that case, let you supervise it." Seeing that there was no objection, Li Shimin could only say.

But he still likes this Lao Jiu, and it’s good to exercise.

Li Shen's face was not very good. What these two guys just said was to plant grass for themselves. It doesn't matter if they say it once or twice, but if they say it often, some people will believe it.

Maybe Li Shimin will be worried about him by then.

After going to court, Li Shimin told Li Shen that he could stay in Chang'an for three days, and he would leave first and return to Goguryeo after three days.

It’s not necessarily when the next time I’ll come back.

So Li Shen returned to the palace and began to convene an emergency meeting.

"Old Wang, after the carriage workshop is completed, it will not only produce carriages for transportation, but also carriages for riding. It will also be made into three grades, low-end, medium-end, and high-end. The price will increase several times.

We also asked the laboratory to study a larger carriage that can accommodate people. I will draw out the drawings later. We want to start a business of transporting people in Chang'an.

I call it a bus. The routes must be planned. Open a few routes first and wait for the rest until I come back. Just two or three horses will do. No matter how long or far you ride, you will only be charged a penny. .

The cotton from the northwest is harvested and made into cotton clothes and trousers, as well as bedding, which is similar to the style of the royal palace, and the fabric can be made of cotton.

There is no need to make it too elaborate, I think the army will use it, and we can make a lot of money by then, but remember to give farmers enough benefits, so that they will work harder next year.

All construction of the palace must be done quickly, if not, more people will be hired. "Li Shen took the lead in handing over the task to Wang Hongfu.

Because he is responsible for making money, and Li Shen cares most about making money.

Then he said to Wang Xuance;

"Xuan Ce, the affairs of the Japanese country must be handled urgently. The pirates' task is not only to rob the Japanese ships, but also all the ships transported to the Japanese country must pay a certain protection fee, otherwise they will be robbed.

Another thing is to let the boat roam around in the sea as much as possible. If you see an island, mark it on the map. Many islands have specialties.

Anyone who discovers something valuable will be rewarded heavily. "

In fact, Li Shen still has many ideas, but now that he is going to Goguryeo, he can only wait until he comes back to do it.

This time he was going to speed up. In order to return to Chang'an earlier, he planned to use more hot air balloons.

There are also kerosene bombs made of petroleum water. If it's burned, it's burned. There's no need for him to rebuild it anyway.

"Is the prince planning to return to Goguryeo?" Wang Xuance asked.

"Yes, I will be leaving in three days. Let's finish the current things this year and wait for me to come back to do the rest." Li Shen nodded.

Wang Xuance also nodded. Prince Ji is the pillar and guiding light of the palace. The current development of Prince Ji's palace is in accordance with Li Shen's specifications.

"Rengui, ask someone to get more silicate water, and go to the laboratory to bring the remaining hot air balloons, as many as you can. This time I will speed up the attack on Goguryeo and try to come back as soon as possible. "

"My lord, you must be careful in everything. Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Prince Ji's Mansion cannot live without Prince Ji." Nowadays, Prince Ji's Mansion is able to gain a foothold in Chang'an because of Li Shen.

It is conceivable that if Li Shen died, Prince Ji's palace would be gone.

Next, Prince Ji's Mansion began to solicit money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and also began to prepare the supplies Li Shen wanted.

This time Li Shen planned to take Lan Yu'er with him, and after talking to Lu Dingniang, Lu Dingniang immediately made the decision to accept Lan Yu'er as her concubine.

Taking a concubine does not require any ceremony, just a word from Lu Dingniang is enough, and then Li Shen and Lan Yu'er will be considered legitimate.

In fact, this was Lu Dingniang's attempt to satisfy her mother-in-law, Concubine Wei.

Soon the day came for Li Shen to return to Goguryeo. There was no ceremony for the expedition and no one saw him off.

Li Shen just entered the palace alone to say goodbye to Li Shimin, and then took his bodyguards on the luxurious carriage and hit the road.

It was silent and did not disturb anyone.
