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

The Tao Yun and Long grass are all gone, and the road to Lanzhou is the end of the road. Who believes that the journey to the west starts from now on, one level of heaven is beyond the other.

Li said a few words to Li Shen and then bowed and left, but the Lanzhou officials present could feel King Ji's attitude towards Li.

Prince Ji and Mr. Li should have known each other for a long time and had a good relationship. They seemed to have a better relationship than Mr. Wei.

But after thinking about it carefully, everyone was relieved. Li's father was Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and he belonged to the royal family.

Li Shen would politely call him Uncle Wang, and it was normal for him to be familiar with Li.

Wei Baiji finally felt relieved when he saw Li Shen's friendly attitude towards his wife.

They Xiaoyao Gongfang had offended King Ji before, and their misfortune continued. Officials in the court were kicked out of the center of power one after another.

In the end, even his father was dismissed from his position and driven out of the capital.

In the past two years, Xiaoyao Gongfang has been trying to ease the relationship with Prince Ji Li Shen. Look at Yun Gongfang, now they are in full swing.

Especially Concubine Wei's four cousins ​​want money and power.

The Wei family knew that the easiest way to ease their relationship with King Ji was to start with Concubine Wei.

After all, Concubine Wei is from the Wei family, and Concubine Wei still retains traditional ideas and still thinks about her family to some extent.

Unlike Li Shen who only takes care of close relatives.

Therefore, in the past two years, the Wei family has been keeping their peace. They send gifts to Concubine Wei during every festival, and even send people to take care of the tombs of Concubine Wei's parents, keeping a low profile.

Li Shen knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have given Wei Bai the face.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ji, could you please allow me to have a meal at my house so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord?" Wei Baiji took the opportunity to ask.

Li Shen thought for a while and finally nodded and said:

"Then I'll bother Governor Wei."

After Li Shen finished speaking, Shitou took a few guards and walked out without giving any instructions. They were going to the Wei family's kitchen to watch.

There were many rules in ancient times, and you could do whatever you wanted like in the TV series.

When the prince dines out, he always brings his own bowls and chopsticks, and every dish cannot leave the eyes of his close associates.

For example, Li Shen hasn't touched the tea served by Li Shen since it was placed on the table.

It wasn't that he wasn't allowed to move, but that he didn't want to. According to the rules, Li Shen's tea was brewed by his close associates.

Because this was outside and the place was unfamiliar to him, Li Shen was also afraid of death.

"Thank you for the honor, His Highness King Ji. Please don't leave, please accompany me and your Highness." Wei Baiji said to the others.

The others also nodded. It was such an honor to be able to have dinner with the prince. They might never have this opportunity again in their lives.

"By the way, I actually have something to tell you when I come here." Li Shen suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip and said.

"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

“You should also know that the purpose of this king’s coming here is to build the Chiling Fortress.

Therefore, I hope that all your counties will cooperate, and there will be businessmen here to build workshops.

Documents from the imperial court will be issued soon. I only ask for one thing: no oppression, no scraping, no oppression.

They came here to help the imperial court build a fortress and prepare for the construction of cement roads in the future.

If you are delayed, I will not be lenient.

For the sake of Governor Wei, I will let you know that the imperial court attaches great importance to the important town of Chiling this time.

And I am here because Your Majesty personally ordered me to supervise the construction.

If you delay the construction period, offend me, or make His Majesty unhappy, you should know the consequences. "

Li Shen's last words were full of eerie horror, making everyone present tremble.

Still thinking about this? If you offend His Majesty, it will definitely be a serious crime of beheading, and no one can save it.

"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji, for informing you. Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will naturally fully cooperate with the merchants and will not embarrass them."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will do our best."

After Li Shen finished speaking, everyone expressed their opinions, and even Wei Daiji promised to cooperate with the merchants in building workshops.

Seeing this situation, Li Shen said to Wei Daiqi:

"Prefect Wei, building the fortress of Chiling is also a good thing for you in Lanzhou.

There are only two main roads to Chiling in China, and Lanzhou happens to be located in one of them.

There will definitely be a lot of vendors passing by in the future. As long as you are ready, use Lanzhou as a transit point.

Lanzhou will also be able to prosper by then. "

This is similar to the fact that the cities on the Silk Road were relatively wealthy.

After hearing Li Shen's words, Wei Baiji's eyes lit up. He had just arrived here, and if he could make some achievements, he would probably be transferred back to Chang'an.

So he thanked me excitedly and said:

"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji, for the tip."

Afterwards, Li Shen chatted with them for a while. These people told Li Shen about the customs, customs and natural landscape of Lanzhou.

Soon a servant came over to report that it was time to have a meal, and Wei waited for a price to invite Li Shen and others to have a meal together.

While eating, Li Shen gave Wei Daiji some ideas, such as the idea of ​​building an inn,

Another example is the parking lot idea and so on.

This was an eye-opener for everyone present. No wonder Prince Ji is rich. Who can come up with such a wild idea?

The banquet ended in half an hour, and Wei Daiji personally escorted Li Shen and a group of officials out of the governor's mansion.

Before getting on the bus, Li Shen looked around and no one said to Wei Baiji:

"President Wei, I have heard something and want to remind you."

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Wei Daiqi asked.

"I heard in Chang'an City that your father arranged a marriage for your younger brother Wei Ji. She seems to be the daughter of Cui Simo, the Crown Prince's servant, right?

Is what I said right?

Is your father Wei Ting planning to marry the Cui family? But even if you want to get married, you have to find a living person to get married to. Is there no one left in your Wei family? "

Li Shen's expression was as usual when he said that, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Li Shen was a little unhappy.

It's a bit unreasonable to want to ease the relationship with him while using dead people to marry into the Cui family.

That's right, what Li Shen was talking about was the underworld marriage between Wei Ting's son Wei Ji and the daughter of the crown prince's servant Cui Simo.

Wei Daiqiu's expression changed after hearing this. How could this matter be spread out even though outsiders could tell it? Although Tang law did not prohibit underworld marriage, neither etiquette nor Confucianism was accepted.

"Wei Daiqi, you are also a well-educated person. You should know the Zhou rites, and you should have heard about the ban on relocation and mourning." Li Shen nodded again.

In any case, Li Shen doesn't like the marriage between the Wei family and the Cui family, even if the marriage partner is just a small person.

Cui Simo is just a nobody in Li Shen's eyes.

Li Shen doesn't like to be deceived. If the Wei family really wants to be a stranger, then Li Shen will never be polite to them.
