Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Li Chengqian saw how enthusiastic Lu Yuanshan was about making things happen, so he walked over with a tattered straw fan.

"Hey, Manager Lu, if you do this, my brother-in-law's Baoli Trading Company will be finished by you?"

Lu Yuanshan also knew that Li Chengqian was trying to make fun of him, but he still saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, this is called early market investment. When these villagers have money and have nowhere to spend it, why don't they come to our Baoli Trading Company to buy it?" thing?"

"By the way, this time I can get a feel for it and see how much stock these people need to fill up. Isn't this also convenient for delivery over there?"

Li Chengqian was a little surprised. Why was Lu Yuanshan willing to settle down on the border of Lingnan and be an idler when he could say such things.

Lu Yuanshan is also a good person, so he saw what Li Chengqian was thinking, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Your Highness, I'm a pretty good person, but I'm just not lucky. When we assigned lots, I was the first one to get this one." Signed."

Li Chengqian slapped the tattered fan on Lu Yuanshan's chest: "What's the bottom sign? Gu is here, it's the best sign. It's your destiny. Make sure you have supplies in stock, but I'll tell you everything first." Payday is in the middle of each month, so don’t buy your goods too early.”

After saying that, Li Chengqian left without looking back. Without him, Li Chengqian didn't have much money in his hand to pay for the work of these villagers, so he had to send a telegram back to force his old father.

Li Shimin was making tea and eating the snacks made by Zhao Nanqing. The more he ate, the angrier he became: "Everyone in Shangshi Bureau is a bunch of losers! It doesn't matter if they can't cook as well as that evil Baolilou, and the snacks can't be as good as my Qing'er." ! Really, I think we should just ask Baolilou to come to the palace and open a semicolon."

Zhao Nanqing nodded while eating: "Father, actually there is no need. If my fourth brother comes back, His Highness the Crown Prince will not be in any danger in Chang'an anyway, so let him come to the palace to do it."

When Li Shimin heard this, he said, "I haven't heard you talk about your fourth brother. Let me tell you, Father."

Zhao Nanqing blinked, and Li Shimin pushed the iced mung bean paste, mint and lily soup over.

"My fourth brother is also good at these white-knuckle tricks. He usually helps me. But maybe the things my fourth brother makes don't look good. The taste should be the same as what I make."

Li Shimin was quite puzzled: "The taste is good, but the presentation is not good? Why?"

Zhao Nanqing missed her fourth brother a little: "Fourth brother doesn't want me to get tired. Bai'an's stuff is made of good leather and stuffing, and the second thing is the appearance. My fourth brother is afraid that I will get tired, so he just makes me Bao. He does the rest of the stuffing, kneading, and rolling out the dough. I also tell him how to mix the taste, and he handles it."

Wang De walked over quickly and handed over a message. Li Shimin glanced at the word "Lingnan" and simply asked Wang De to read it directly.

"Dad, dad, father, father, my son is really going to die this time. My son has recruited fifty thousand, ah, no, one hundred thousand people in Lingnan. He is in urgent need of a lot of supplies and treasure money to pay the workers."

Wang De couldn't read anymore. Li Shimin slapped the table: "Look what shit your good sworn brother has done! Does he think Lingnan has rebelled? How are the supplies for him being prepared?"

Wang De flipped through the list that was sent to him this morning: "Eighty percent are available, and the remaining 20% ​​are mainly technical personnel."

Li Shimin stroked his beard: "Send a telegram to Wei Tong and ask him to allocate his technical staff to Lingnan. The funds for the foreign assignment will come from internal funds. I guess the prime minister is going crazy these days, so I won't bother him." ”

After Wang De heard what Li Shimin said, he went to the receptionist. Zhao Nanqing looked at Li Shimin while chewing something: "Father, are we going to set off for Lingnan soon? How far is Lingnan, can you tell me? "

Li Shimin thought for a while, then stood up with his hands on his thighs: "Let's go, I'll let you know how far it is."

Zhao Nanqing followed Li Shimin into the side hall of Ganlu Hall. There was a huge map on a table inside, and there were even mountains and rivers. It was simply a miniature version of the Tang Dynasty territory map.

Zhao Nanqing pointed to the maps placed on the extra small tables: "Isn't that the map of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "It wasn't before, but it is now. This is what bothers me. I just made a map and some genius opened up the territory. I'm so annoyed."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Look at us here. Do you see the red dots?"

Zhao Nanqing looked closer and nodded: "This is Chang'an, the center of the entire Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin sighed: "It's not really the center. The territory is much larger now. In Xiaobao's words, it's the capital."

Li Shimin pointed to the winding road: "You can go directly south from Chang'an. The road has been built to the Lingnan border anyway, and then take Li Fengxiu's Lingnan part of the road and go straight down."

"Well, the transportation cost is a bit high, and everything has to be transported by truck."

Li Shimin pointed to Luoyang on the side: "It's okay to take the waterway from Luoyang, go all the way out and take the canal down to the south of the Yangtze River, and then go out to the sea and go ashore from the bottom. That's okay."

"In this way, the transportation cost is greatly reduced and the waterway is much cheaper, but it is not timely enough."

Zhao Nanqing is not a fool: "I understand father, fast is expensive, slow is cheap."

Li Shimin nodded and pointed to another route: "The other option is to take a train from Chang'an all the way to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then go out to the sea from Mingzhou and go around. This is faster than the water route, but the price is also higher."

Zhao Nanqing and Zhao Zhe can be considered as people who have done business when they open a breakfast shop: "No, we also need to consider the loading and unloading costs. The goods will not be transported from the train carriage to the ship for no reason. In this way, this type should be the most expensive, but not the fastest. "

Li Shimin didn't expect Zhao Nanqing to have his own insights: "Yes, but the telegram sent by your sworn brother just now also said that time waits for no one, so we have to drive straight in and let the transportation team drive a truck to deliver the goods to him."

Zhao Nanqing scratched her neck: "Then how are Sister Wan'er and I going? Are we also taking a truck? I've never been on a truck before!"

Li Shimin was a little worried and thought for a while: "Well, I'll go and ask Third Sister if there is a female driver who can drive a better car to take you there, so that you don't have to worry about the differences between men and women, and it will be more comfortable."

Zhao Nanqing nodded: "I always hear the prince brother and father talk about Xiaobao, who is it?"

When Li Shimin heard Zhao Nanqing mention Xiaobao, he couldn't help but look in the direction where Yuchi Baoqi was going to sea: "He, he made the train you take, the cars, trucks, cement roads, and all kinds of things you will take later. "

Zhao Nanqing was keenly aware that Yuchi Baoqi was definitely not in Chang'an at this time: "Where did Brother Xiaobao go?"

Li Shimin sighed: "I want to know too. He has now gone to some place called Mexico. He hasn't sent me any news for a long time."
