Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

As Zhao Nanqing's mood gradually calmed down, Li Shimin held a bowl of mutton noodles in a very shameless manner and asked: "Qing'er, what kind of reward do you want from your father? Just say so. You're welcome."

Zhao Nanqing was stunned while holding up a chewed pistol leg. She had never thought about a reward or anything like that: "Why don't your Majesty send the reward you gave me to Lingnan, I think they will need it more."

Li Shimin is becoming more and more fond of this goddaughter whom Li Chengqian has adopted for him. She is a good cook and sensible!

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "OK! It will take about half a month. When the supplies to Lingnan are ready, will you and Wan'er go to Lingnan?"

Su Waner and Zhao Nanqing said in unison: "Go!"

Li Chengqian, who was in Lingnan at this time, was almost exhausted. Li Chengqian was holding a large piece of earth bricks and looking at Zhao Zhe, who was walking on the ground and walking like flying, with seven or eight bricks in his hands, his eyes were full of envy.

Chen Zhixin wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Your Highness, this work is life-threatening."

Before Li Chengqian could speak, Lu Ru'an, who was lying aside due to heatstroke, spoke up: "What are you still talking about? Aren't you the talker in this area? You can't even call a few people to do it together, it's all in vain!"

Chen Renyong stacked three adobe bricks on the place that needed to be built and clapped his hands: "You can't blame me, it's not because the court doesn't do human affairs."

After Zhao Zhe finished getting the required adobe bricks, he turned around and went to get the bamboo that had been cut down and piled up. He took out Li Chengqian's exquisite dagger and was about to chop it down, but he felt reluctant to part with it.

"Your Highness, is this inappropriate?"

Li Chengqian just glanced at it: "Haiba, what do you care about this? When will the supplies from Chang'an arrive? Gudu is about to collapse! There are not enough manpower! There are no supplies either, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ah!"

Lu Ru'an rested for a while, then stood up and started planning the construction of the chicken shed based on what she had learned. Chen Zhixin saw that Zhao Zhe had divided the bamboos and stepped forward to borrow a knife.

Zhao Zhe was still wondering what Chen Zhixin wanted the knife for. Chen Zhixin snatched the knife and said, "What are you doing? Cooking! Bamboo tender tip stewed chicken, have you ever eaten it? Crazy thread, it's time to go!"

Li Chengqian wanted to step forward to help Zhao Zhe fix the bamboo frame, but Zhao Zhe repeatedly refused: "Bamboo has barbs on its hairs. Your Highness, unlike us, does not have calluses on our hands and will be injured."

Chen Renyong climbed over the wall made of adobe bricks and helped Zhao Zhe start tying the bamboo frame. Li Chengqian could only curl his lips and couldn't help.

Li Chengqian simply walked to the shady ground next to Lu Ru'an and lay down on it. He also hugged Lu Ru'an and asked him to let out some bamboo mats.

Lu Ruan lay on her back with her arms folded: "It's long past time to build a chicken coop. After so many days, the entire Yamen is full of chicken feces. In the words of the governor, after artificial intervention, the scale of animal reproduction will be beyond imagination."

Li Chengqian also found a comfortable position, with one leg still hanging on Lu Ruan: "The large scale is now a complete burden for us. There are no supporting facilities. Think about it. You heard Lao Chen say that these chickens can only grow in half a year." To maturity.”

"In the past six months, we have to build a chicken farm with complete facilities and systems, and secondly, we have to build a place to kill chickens, right? Think about how many chickens will be sold in half a year? That's an exaggeration."

When Lu Ruan closed her eyes, she saw the densely packed eggs in the incubation room. It was a place that smelled of earth, grass and poultry. It was really hard for her to imagine that she had stayed there for more than half a month.

Lu Ru'an sighed: "I don't know how Qing'er is doing. She was forced to stay alone in an empty house just after getting married. I'm really ashamed of her."

Li Chengqian was just about to make fun of Lu Ru'an, a lover, when he remembered that Su Waner was here, and suddenly he felt melancholy.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Brother Zhao Zhe! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Brother Zhao Zhe...Brother Zhao Zhe!"

Li Chengqian sat up and looked at the person who came: "Lu Yuanshan? Why is he here?"

Lu Ruan stood up and came out of the pergola: "Manager Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Yuanshan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Since the imperial court's development of Lingnan, as the Baoli Trading Company in Lingnan Road closest to Jiangnan Road, he has naturally gained a lot of money and gained weight.

Lu Yuanshan also bowed to Lu Ruan: "Steward Xiao Lu, am I not here to solve your urgent need?"

Li Chengqian walked out of the pergola: "Oh? What can Manager Lu say about this?"

Lu Yuanshan chuckled: "I got in touch with Manager Ye of Baoli Trading Company in the Tanzhou General Manager's Office, and I wanted to see if we could open up the exchange of supplies. The main reason is that road construction here is too expensive."

"I was thinking about the lack of manpower when the Crown Prince came to develop this place. I mentioned it to Manager Ye casually, but unexpectedly there was news from over there that they had too many manpower and they were overflowing. I thought of asking. Ask Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you need manpower?"

Li Chengqian was a little moved, but he still didn't agree. Lu Ru'an saw Li Chengqian's concerns and simply said directly: "The need is necessary, but this will not be good for the development of Lingnan. After those workers come to Lingnan, they will inevitably compete with the local people in Lingnan." If there is a conflict among the people, we need to take a long-term approach."

Li Chengqian nodded: "What Ru An said makes sense. Manager Lu has good intentions and Gu understands in his heart. However, the development of Lingnan still needs to be planned slowly. If it is done too hastily, problems may arise."

Lu Yuanshan also has his own Xiao Jiujiu. After reporting the relocation of the business bank, although the superiors approved it, his performance has not improved. Although he is closer to Li Feng's construction team, overall the number of consumers has not increased.

He thought that by recruiting workers from the Tanzhou General Manager's Office and conducting a wave of price reductions every pay day, his performance would be able to improve a bit.

In order to do better business in the future, Lu Yuanshan decided to click on Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, I have something to say."

Li Chengqian's expression remained as usual: "But it doesn't matter."

Lu Yuanshan cleared his throat: "His Royal Highness comes here to develop Lingnan, which one should bear the brunt? Commerce, agriculture, animal husbandry, people's livelihood or infrastructure?"

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can you do both?"

Lu Yuanshan coughed twice: "I have been burning cold stoves in this border area for so many years, so I naturally know the benefits of both, but it doesn't work."

"The biggest reason is that the people in Lingnan have no money. Even silver is scarce, let alone treasure notes that have never been seen before."

"Without money, even if commerce, agriculture, and animal husbandry are developed, it is just a castle in the air or a mirage to them, and they cannot afford to spend money."

Li Chengqian and Lu Ru'an nodded frequently after hearing this: "But those people don't want to trust the court or the government. Even if they want to send the money out, they can't do anything."

Lu Yuanshan glanced at Chen Renyong, who was building a shed with Zhao Zhe: "People are the most jealous. As long as you are jealous, you will have endless motivation. This is desire."
