    Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Yes, father."

    Lao Li nodded.

    He didn¡¯t make a sound, as if his throat was too tired to make any more noise.

    "Father, this general is out and military orders are not given. I don't need to tell you this common sense. I feel that after General Niu Jinda arrived in Songzhou, although he did not actively attack to defeat Tubo, he did not take Songzhou seriously.  The state was lost, so speaking of it, he was not at fault. It seems inappropriate to judge General Niu's inaction from the rear now," Li Chengqian said.

    "What do you think?" Lao Li closed his eyes and asked.

    Li Chengqian said: "I think Hou Junji is a little too active. He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, so he is not the one to lead the troops"

    At this point, Li Chengqian paused and said nothing more.

    Lao Li opened his eyes and looked at Li Chengqian with a smile. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, Hou Junji is active."

    It seems that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t think something was wrong. If Lao Li said this, Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t hide it anymore.  asked:

    "Then why did you let Hou Junji lead the troops out to convict Niu Jinda?"

    When all the ministers were here to discuss important matters, all the maids and eunuchs here were kicked out.

    Now that the meeting is over, the eunuchs and maids have not come in, and the guards have been waved down by Li Chengqian. Only Li Yifeng and Li Chengqian's father and son are left here.

    Lao Li said calmly: "Hou Junji wants to lead his troops out, so naturally he wants to take credit. And when I let him go out, I naturally believe that Niu Jinda can accomplish what I want him to do in this little time. If  If you can't do that, then Niu Jinda is too useless. Letting him take his place can also be a preservation strategy!"

    Li Chengqian didn¡¯t quite understand what he heard, but Lao Li had figured out everything, so Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have to worry anymore.

    Lao Li seemed to be very satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance today and asked: "You should learn more from Confucius and use your brain in everything. You must not be like before, not going to school or going to court. What will you do like before?  "

    After he finished teaching him a lesson, he asked: "Do you have any new clues about Wei Zheng you were following!?"

    Li Chengqian shook his head.

    Lao Song seemed to have been calmed down by Wei Zheng, so Jingran did not look for other accomplices during this period of time.

    Of course, Li Chengqian knew that if there were new clues, Lao Li would have known about it already and would not have asked him.

    He is asking himself this question just because he wants to get closer to himself.

    After returning from Ganlu Hall, Su Mi was comparing two new toothbrushes. She put them down after Li Chengqian came in.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, you have to look at your toothbrush so carefully?¡± Li Chengqian asked.

    Su Mi brought a cloth to Li Chengqian to wash his face and hands, and asked Xiao Xiami to get some food. He said, "Your Highness, the carpenter said this is a new toothbrush!"

    After listening to her words, Li Chengqian picked it up and looked at it. The toothbrush's bristles were very elastic, and they were not as flat as before, but had been trimmed and made into the same wavy shape as in modern times.

    Putting one down and picking up another one, I saw that this one has an extra layer of craftsmanship than the one just now. The hair on the previous one was slightly cut neatly, while the hair on this one was slightly broken into pieces.  Only shredded bristle toothbrush.

    Seeing the toothbrush with broken bristles, Li Chengqian's eyes couldn't help but light up. This carpenter really knows how to work hard. He just mentioned it casually before, but he didn't expect him to actually make it.

    "I heard from the carpenter that these hairs are taken from monkeys and are much more durable than other hairs!" Su Mi said.

    Li Chengqian was also hungry at this time, so he sat down and started eating, not paying much attention to the toothbrush.

    The next day, when he went to Xiamalinghuangzhuang, Fatty Zhu found Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, the foreman has been found!"

    "Does the technology pass the test? Is it reliable?" Li Chengqian asked.

    "Absolutely passed the test, absolutely passed the test. He comes from a family of craftsmen, and his craftsmanship has been passed down from his ancestors, and he is the younger brother of Carpenter Lu in the palace, dear!" Fatty Zhu said, "And the Crown Princess also gave me a message, so use him  .¡±

    "Princess? Carpenter Lu?" Li Chengqian remembered the toothbrush from last night, and now he understood a little.

    It seems that Carpenter Lu heard something from here yesterday, and then immediately started to seek connections in the East Palace. With the consent of the Crown Princess, he gave Fatty Zhu benefits, so Carpenter Lu¡¯s brother got the project.

    Although Li Chengqian only wanted the project to be completed and didn't care what career path his subordinates entered, he was curious about what kind of benefits Su Mi got that made her behave so calmly.?I agreed to deliver the message to Fatty Zhu.

    You must ask about this when you get back.

    "Go and find Foreman Nalu, and I'll see how he builds the road!" Li Chengqian said.

    Fatty Zhu went down, only to take a rough man with him after a while.  He looks somewhat similar to Master Lu, but his body is much stronger than Master Lu.

    "Lu has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Foreman Lu saluted.

    Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "You know the road construction project I want to do, from Chang'an to Jeju, tell me how you want to build this road!"

    From the time the news was released yesterday to the walk last night and this morning, the time until now is not too long.  So it can be seen that Foreman Lu has not made any preparations.

    But after Foreman Lu listened to Li Chengqian's words, his eyelids narrowed slightly, and then he opened them and said: "Your Highness, Lu has not yet seen the magic of cement that Butler Zhu said, so he cannot tell the full arrangement.  Come. Now I can only tell you the general route. From Chang'an to Jeju, you have to pass through Shangzhou, Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Huazhou, and Yunzhou before reaching Jeju. The characteristic of cement is that it can make the road as hard as stone, and  If it is smooth and not bumpy, then all we need to do is pave cement on the original official roads in these states!"

    "Well, that makes sense." Li Chengqian nodded.

    Foreman Lu asked: "But Your Highness, the distance between Chang'an and Jeju is more than a thousand miles. It will take a long time to build it, and the input and material resources will be extremely huge, just like when Yang Guang built the canal, it almost exhausted the national power! I don't know.  Your Highness, have you ever thought about it?"

    The meaning of what he said was that he was afraid that Li Chengqian was just acting on a whim and did not consider the issue of money. He also wanted to know whether Li Chengqian had enough financial resources to allow him to continue building this road.

    The only thing Li Chengqian can make money now is toilet water. Although the paper-making workshop is open, there is not much income to buy paper, so the paper-making workshop is still in an embarrassing situation and can only barely maintain it.  Sometimes I have to pour money in.

    The cement plant has just been put into operation, so we don¡¯t know how the money will go, but in the future more money will be given to Chang¡¯an and Jeju roads.

    It seems like toilet water alone is not enough!
