Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

"Oh my, does that good-for-nothing Gesuwen really think he can stop the mighty Tianwei army with his fortified city? He almost laughed his grandpa Yuchi to death!"

Li Shimin gave Yuchi Jingde another glass of wine, looked at Jie Li dancing the Hu Xuan dance, and expected Yuchi Jingde to continue speaking.

"Your Majesty, you know me. I am very quick in fighting! At that time, I saw Gaisu Wen standing at the top of the city. Can I withstand my little temper? Just let the Tianwei army set up the cannon, using the new What’s the name of the research and development? What’s the name?”

Su Dingfang, who was promoted from fighting on the side, reminded: "Master, it's 40 fire, direct fire."

Yuchi Jingde grabbed the wine glass and slapped Su Dingfang on the shoulder with his other hand: "Yes, yes, that's what Lie Lie said! Oh my, it's all caused by my incompetent son. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me!"

Yuchi Baolin on the other side was not happy: "Dad, please tell me, I'm over there in the grassland and don't know the situation of the war!"

All the generals also agreed, saying that Yuchi Jingde's sudden decision was too unkind.

Li Shimin pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then raised his hand to Yuchi Jingde, signaling to continue speaking.

"I was still thinking about attacking the city gate, but who knew that the accompanying researcher from the engineering department insisted on attacking the city wall, saying he wanted first-hand research data. I couldn't resist him, so I shot him."

"You didn't see it! One shot blasted a hole directly. I was so stupid that I didn't let anyone attack."

"Later we learned how powerful this thing was, so we didn't rush to attack. Who knew that Gesuwen and the others were really a bunch of cowards, and they just abandoned the city and fled!"

"This is about our Majesty who knows everything in the Tang Dynasty! The five thousand city guards assigned to my road were really useful. Those city guards helped manage the abandoned people. We just keep pushing forward.”

Li Shimin's eyes couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"This time, Black Face, you are like a god on the Goguryeo side. Tell me what reward you want?"

Yuchi Jingde was not happy on the spot: "Your Majesty, this reward has been agreed upon a long time ago. My son wants ten years of production from the iron mine, and now it has been dug!"

Li Shimin didn't expect this black face to be so stunned: "I'm talking about your reward. The reward given to Xiaobao is naturally his."

Yuchi Jingde rubbed his hands: "Your Majesty, do you think my eldest son has been guarding the border for three years, but he can be transferred back? Just give him an official position. That's all I ask for."

Li Shimin made the right decision with a wave of his hand, and gave it to Yuchi Baolin, a fourth-grade general named Piaoyong.

Tell me about such a good minister. He doesn’t get many rewards for his meritorious service. He can really withstand something if something happens. It’s so satisfying!

"Why isn't Xiaobao here? It seems that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is not here either?"

Fang Xuanling quickly said: "They said they were in retreat recently. They went to invite me but they didn't come."

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "The last time the Ministry of Industry retreated, they directly updated the weapons such as swords and guns. I wonder if there is anything new this time."

Du Ruhui quickly raised his glass and said, "Old minister, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty in advance on the good news!"

The celebration banquet also ended in this happy atmosphere. All the soldiers received huge rewards. After all, they had been fighting for more than a year. There was hard work even if there was no credit.

Yuchi Baoqi was not so happy. The steam locomotive had exploded for the sixth time.

"It's not strong enough! Who is responsible for this boiler! Bring over the one-piece molding process and material ratio!"

Looking at the record book with capital letters, Yuchi Baoqi was furious.

"You are not an old craftsman, you are new here. You haven't even learned the numbers of the Tang Dynasty! Where is the batch of military steel? Did you exchange the batch of military steel for ordinary steel?"

"who are you!"

Yuchi Baoqi's series of questions were directly knocked down by the loser who was kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"Just because of you! 62 times! Damn it! No matter who you are, you and the people behind you must die!"

The person was suppressed by the Loyal Guards, and he had to accept the most cruel punishment from the Tianwei Army, as well as the second punishment from the Shadow Guards led by Zhang Anan behind Li Shimin.

Yuchi Baoqi promoted a group of craftsmen at random and scolded the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"What's going on with you? You're too old to be able to control the Ministry of Works, so you should hurry up and become an official. Why do you, the Ministry of Works, always do such things!"

The Minister of Industry was also criticized and did not dare to say anything, so he nodded repeatedly.

I recalled the situation when I recruited this craftsman in my mind, and I was filled with doubts.

Obviously, his life experience is indeed innocent. He strictly controls everyone who enters the Ministry of Industry, but why does he still let a rat in?

Yuchi Baoqi saw that there wouldn't be any progress for a while, so he simply left to check the situation of the railway, and nothing would happen.

Yuchi Baoqi specially changed into a commoner's shorts, arrived at the construction site alone, and deliberately wiped his hands black on the ground.

"Brother, brother? Are we still hiring here?"

A young and strong man straightened up: "Young junior, we are recruiting workers in front. I heard that we have recruited enough today, so you might as well go and ask, if not earlier tomorrow!"

Yuchi Baoqi didn't leave either: "I heard that the wages here are high. Is it true? Brother, please tell me."

The man waved his hand: "The wages are good, I have to work hard, otherwise the foreman will see me being lazy and I won't be needed tomorrow! You should leave quickly!"

Yuchi Baoqi left the job and went to see how the food was during the meal break.

"The food is not good either. Two braised chicken wings per person, three steamed buns per person, and a plate of pickles."

A man on the side looked down on Yuchi Baoqi: "Hey, I think this man has tasted better?"

The men eating next to him also laughed loudly. This man was sore when he didn't work and couldn't eat.

"Hey, I've really had a good meal! Do you know what the shipyards in Luoyang eat? Braised pork! Four pieces per person! Such big dice meat! Four steamed buns per person, a tube full of pickles, and some cabbage residue! "

A man dipped a steamed bun into the chicken wing soup and took a bite, his expression filled with satisfaction.

"Yo yo yo, are you going to build ships in Luoyang? You, with thin arms and legs, can you go up and carry the mast?"

Yuchi Baoqi's eyebrows were crooked: "So you are very satisfied with your current wages and food?"

The workers all said in unison: "Weird, are you not satisfied with this? How can there be such a way to survive in the world!"

Yuchi Baoqi waved to the steward at this section of the road and handed him a sign.

"Let's take a look at the construction and payment conditions of this section of the road."

The steward almost knelt down when he saw the sign. What the hell is this 'like I'm here in person'?
