I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

When Li Shen said this, someone immediately laughed. They were all military commanders, and they were informal. The more friendly they were, the less rules they had.

"Haha, Protector-General's matters are important. I'm waiting for Protector-General."

"Yes, I'm waiting for the Protector."

Li Shen waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continued:

"Okay, let's talk about the matter first. First of all, you may not know, but Deputy Governor Li should have heard that this king was impeached for improving your meals."

"Why would anyone impeach the Protector?"

"How can this be such a courtesy? Isn't it illegal to give us extra meals?"

"That's it."

There was another noisy heated discussion.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Quiet, quiet." Li Shen patted the table twice.

"Shut up, everyone, are there any rules?" Li Shen scolded angrily.

In an instant, everyone shut up and waited for Li Shen to continue speaking.

"These things are not for you to worry about. What I want to say is that since the court does not allow it and does not pay for it,

But I will still give you the same treatment as before.

But this just requires us to make some adjustments.

Deputy Protector Li, arrange for people to go to Tibet to buy cattle and sheep as before.

From now on, a team of a thousand people will be sent deep into Tubo every half month to bring back cattle and sheep.

To the outside world, it is said that you seize the border and take it back. The barbarians can seize the border, why can't we in the Tang Dynasty.

This is also a way to promote our country's prestige, but the money must still be given to others, otherwise who will sell us next time.

The money will still come from this king. "

This is a method that Li Shen thought of. It doesn't matter if his father doesn't allow it. It doesn't matter if his father doesn't pay.

You can't say anything about the things we snatched from you. Are we still not allowed to rob?

This is also to avenge the people at the border.

If there are policies at the top, there will be countermeasures at the bottom.

"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji. I will definitely handle the matter without leakage." Li Zhiqian stood up and accepted the order.

"Well, sit down, don't be nervous, everyone. Although the money is nominally provided by the king, in fact, more than half of it comes from the crown prince's funding.

So everyone wants to thank and thank the prince. "

Li Shen waved his hand and thought to himself, hum, if you don't agree, see if I don't bring your son in.

Even if someone discovers me in the future, everyone in the army will know that the prince is involved. I wonder who would dare to stare at me.

He can now imagine his father's anger.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone thanked him again.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing. Strengthen the protection of the city, pay attention to those suspicious people, and do not allow large groups of people to carry weapons.

Especially Midtown and Inner City.

Strengthen patrols and prevention, and arrest anyone who is found to be suspicious immediately. We would rather kill a thousand wrong people than let one go.

If someone fights in the city or deliberately provokes trouble, he will be fined lightly. If he does not listen to the advice, he will be shot to death on the spot without mercy.

The third is to strictly check for contraband, focusing on steel, weapons and armor. There should be no problems at the city gate.

The key point is that the checkpoint at Chiling Mountain Pass must be strictly investigated. If anyone makes a mistake, the entire team responsible will sit together and be punished together.

Tell the people below that I usually don't pay attention to your little problems, but I won't show any mercy to you in this matter.

Don't force me to kill you. "

Li Shen's sharp eyes scanned all the generals present, sending chills down their backs.

Of course they had seen King Ji's methods. Wang Qing was the Deputy Protector at the time, and he would be killed with a stick if told.

The imperial court didn't say a word. Wouldn't they kill them at will? Wang Qing is still a member of the Wang family.

"I will obey the order of the Protector." Everyone stood up and saluted in obedience to the order.

"The last thing is the anti-smuggling team in Qinghai Province Duhufu City. They specialize in cracking down on smuggling merchants.

All caravans without certificates issued by us will be regarded as smuggling, and all materials will be confiscated. Anyone who resists will be shot without mercy.

If there are any prisoners, they will all be used as laborers.

The anti-smuggling team adopts a rotation system. I will give you two parts of the seized materials. Each team has 2,000 people.

At least three teams are dispatched each time, divided into three layers of patrols to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

For specific matters, several of you will discuss a plan and go to see the terrain in person. After the plan and map are completed, they will be handed over to me when I return.

After the king leaves, all military affairs will be under the responsibility of Deputy Governor Li, and no one is allowed to disobey. "

Everyone immediately obeyed the order, and Li Shen explained some precautions in detail.

The rest will have to be solved when problems arise in the future. This is the most thoughtful thing Li Shen can think of.

Professional matters still need to be managed by professional people. Li Shen felt that he did not have the ability to do both military and political affairs.

He can only express what effect he wants, and how to achieve it depends on the people below him.

After everything was arranged, Li Shen returned to the Protector's Mansion. At this time, another guard reported that there was a secret message.

"There are still secret messages? Why are you afraid that the king will not return to Chang'an? One after another." Li Shen complained, and then ordered the messenger to be brought in.

The person who came in didn't know Li Shen either.

"See His Highness Prince Ji. This servant is here to deliver the message on the order of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince ordered me to hand it over to His Highness Prince Ji."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and Shitou stepped forward to take it and present it to Li Shen.

Li Shen carefully identified it and found that the seal was intact and there was the prince's personal seal on it.

It was indeed a secret message from the prince, but why did the prince give him a secret message? Didn't I just say that the prince is obsessed with alchemy and immortality?

Do you want to share your experience of cultivating immortality with yourself?

Li Shen made random guesses as he unfolded the letter and read it.

"No way!!! Is it so exciting?!" Li Shen couldn't help shouting.

The content of the letter was about their father's recent obsession with alchemy and the recruitment of several famous alchemists.

Many of the alchemists were recommended by Gao Jifu.

There is also the matter of Li Chengqian going to Dongshan Medical College to identify the elixir with Sun Simiao.

Including Sun Simiao's judgment, everything was written in the letter.

Finally, Li Chengqian asked Li Shen to go back and persuade Li Shimin that the dangers of elixirs were endless and should be solved as soon as possible.

This is completely contrary to the content of the secret letter received from Wang Xuance. It turns out that it is not Li Chengqian who wants to become an immortal, but his father who wants to become an immortal.

Li Shen remembered that Li Shimin died after taking elixirs in history. He didn't know whether it was true or not at the time, but most experts guessed so.

And there seems to be an old monk from Tianzhu who claims to have lived two hundred years, but this person is not mentioned in the letter.

Li Chengqian also expressed his difficulties. He cannot tell this matter, otherwise it may be counterproductive.

Li Shen understood what Li Chengqian meant, but if you let me do this, are you sure I won't get beaten?
