Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

When the meal was almost done, Ma Zhou knocked on the door and entered the Baoli Building: "Your Majesty, Lord Duke, the supplies have been completed. Should we rest for a while?"

Li Lizhi finished eating the pancake roll in her hand and said, "I'm done eating, shall we go?"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Empress Changsun and Li Shimin who were already wiping their hands: "Okay, let's continue our journey. You have to go to Lushun to continue training, and we don't want to delay you."

The group of people just boarded the ship again and started heading to Bohai County. The sea breeze in March was still a bit harsh. Yuchi Baoqi pulled Li Shimin and Li Lizhi into a fight with the Dou Shijia family.

Queen Changsun had eaten a little too much and wanted to go to the cabin to sleep for a while and have a rest.

The three of them played cards well at first, but after a while Li Lizhi started to get into trouble.

Li Shimin smiled evilly: "Yes! Two! Are you sorry? Six to the circle!"

"Wang Bang!"

Li Shimin was stunned: "Beautiful! We are the same, right? Why are you blowing up my father!"

Li Lizhi disagreed: "What do you know? If you win for sure, double the amount! Three to nine, I'll send you away~ place the order!"

Li Shimin understood: "Hey, Li Zhi is still good at playing cards. My father wrongly blamed you."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "Six to the circle, one can't afford to place an order, but for five, place an order."

Li Lizhi and Li Shimin looked at each other, Li Shimin blinked, Li Lizhi leaned her elbow on the table, and Yuchi Baoqi quickly supported the table.

"What's going on? Lai? Come and give me a pat on the back!"

Li Lizhi's little mouth tightened. As long as she cried, her husband would definitely not let her beat her on the back. Unexpectedly, this time Yuchi Baoqi directly predicted it.

"Hey, cry! You have to count the time when you cry~"

Li Shimin rubbed Yuchi Baoqi's left calf, Wang De rubbed Yuchi Baoqi's right calf, and Li Lizhi beat Yuchi Baoqi's back from behind.

Wang De was recruited by Li Shimin to work as a coolie, which could reduce Li Shimin's time by half, but Li Lizhi was not so lucky.

"Yeah, yeah, yes, the king's servant can squeeze it better. Li Zhi, you have to use more force. Father, just keep it."

After enough time, Li Shimin and Li Lizhi looked at each other, dissatisfied! Come again! This time I painted a turtle on my face!

After playing for more than an hour, Yuchi Baoqi stretched out and looked at the last two big and small kings in his hand: "Report double."

Li Shimin and Li Lizhi were immediately excited. Li Shimin flew up from his chair: "Four fours! Haha! You can't afford it! I just walk away with a seven."

Li Lizhi also tacitly accepted Li Shimin's odd number and started to move. Soon there were only five cards left, and Li Lizhi even frightened Yuchi Baoqi.

"Wushun will take it away for you! Are you afraid?"

Yuchi Baoqi was happy, looked at the big and small kings in his hands, and pretended to be: "Afraid, I'm scared to death!"

Li Lizhi chuckled: "Four old Kais! Hahahahahaha, double and double again! Eight little turtles are going to be painted!"

Li Shimin also high-fived Li Lizhi: "Get it!"

Yuchi Baoqi heard what sounded like the ordering soldiers outside shouting, so he directly covered the young and old kings on the table, turned around and went out.

Li Shimin pointed at Yuchi Baoqi and said to Li Lizhi: "See, brand is character. Your husband and my son-in-law are just a bastard, a living beast!"

Li Lizhi also waved her fist: "Husband, you still have eight little turtles to go!"

Li Shimin didn't care about that anymore and turned over Yuchi Baoqi's cards, as if struck by lightning: "This! This! Your husband is in need of a fool here!"

Yuchi Baoqi walked back to the room: "Where did they hit? Ma Zhou said we will arrive at Bohai County in half an hour. Now we are at the midpoint between Lushun and Bohai County. We have to leave separately."

Li Shimin was still hesitating, but Li Lizhi had already finished sorting the cards: "Husband, you left the card table. I thought you wouldn't play anymore so I took it away. This hand doesn't count."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the faces of the father and daughter, which were completely black and painted: "Okay, go and wake up the queen mother, half an hour is very fast."

Li Shimin walked up to the deck with his face covered in ink and stood next to Yuchi Baoqi: "Has everything been arranged in Bohai County?"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Shimin's face and was a little speechless. His grandmother's pure and early Baogong: "Sun Yi has already reported the itinerary to Baoli Trading Company over there. Do you think our managers along the way are all good at calculating things?" Huh? I didn’t bring a transmitter with me.”

Li Shimin touched his beard and said, "No wonder you haven't lost money when you opened Baoli Trading Company in the entire Tang Dynasty?"

Yuchi Baoqi raised two fingers: "First, market research. Second, organizational structure. Market research means how big the plate is, and how large a branch of Baoli Commercial Bank I will build. The organizational structure is that the smallest Baoli Commercial Bank only needs one manager. A guy. Do you remember the Lingnan Road steward who sent the report to you? He was alone at the beginning, and it took him a year or two to get through that big bastard Li Feng to go and build the road."

Li Shimin nodded: "Your Baoli Trading Company's actions and response speed are probably much faster than those of the imperial court."

Yuchi Baoqi smiled: "Of course! There are some of your officials who love the people enough, some who love the people in general, and some who love their reputation. If there is a disaster, how many officials do you think will open warehouses for disaster relief as soon as possible?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment: "If it were three to five years ago, I'm afraid it would be only one in a hundred. If we say it now, it would be five or six out of ten."

Yuchi Baoqi also agreed: "But Baoli Trading Company, even if the Lingnan Road branch encounters victims of disasters or refugees in the Tang Dynasty, they have the right to report directly. All the materials in the warehouse can be used, and they only need to keep records."

Li Shimin was a little disdainful: "I heard from Li Feng that the Lingnan Road branch doesn't have a telegraph machine, so how can you report it? Why don't you just open your mouth and come in casually?"

Yuchi Baoqi was happy: "Of course this is also a situation, but have you ever thought about it? It doesn't mean that with the telegraph machine, flying pigeons will no longer be used to send messages. Baoli Trading Company will still keep pigeons in case of emergencies. .”

"And now small branches no longer need to meet the requirements to apply for telegraph machines. They are all equipped. They have already been put into production. It's just that I was busy some time ago, so the priority of this matter is not high."

Li Shimin frowned: "Doesn't it mean that this telegraph machine can be sold to aristocratic families and nobles?"

Yuchi Baoqi shook his head: "Signal pollution is a big deal. In the future, we will make a telegraph machine for civilian use. The waveband will be specified and strictly separated from military and palace use."

Li Shimin clapped his hands and praised: "You should be thoughtful and don't come to me with big things when the time comes."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the outline of the port getting closer and closer. It was late at sea and a little foggy.

"Tell the king's servant to get ready. We will dock soon. The fire on the pier can be seen. We will repair it all night tonight and set off for Qizhou tomorrow."
