Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Li Shimin felt that the speed of the carriage was gradually increasing, but he did not feel any bumps, and he felt magical.

"I heard that this road is only the first phase of the project. Where will it be built later? Is there any dissatisfaction from the family?" Li Shimin asked Su Quan.

"Your Majesty, the national highway from Chang'an to Luoyang is just the first large-scale trial project of our Tang Construction Bureau. Next, we plan to lay secondary roads along the national highway directly to various counties, townships, villages and towns. This will greatly The place is convenient for people to travel. We need to make it possible for the people there to get out, and also make it possible for our products to get in." Su Quan explained the plan for the second phase of the project to Li Shimin.

Two hours later, the carriage slowly stopped. Li Shimin was a little confused, and Wang De was a little nervous. Could it be that someone was hijacking the road? Su Quan took the lead in opening the curtain of the carriage and walked out, then held the curtain open for Li Shimin to let him get off as well.

"Your Majesty, this is three-quarters of the distance from Luoyang. We have set up service areas, storage areas, inns and other convenient facilities along this stretch. Please come with me to experience it," Su Quan pointed out. He introduced Li Shimin to a huge and majestic-looking facility.

Seeing that all the officials had arrived, Li Shimin asked Wang De to inform them and let them accompany them to visit the service area.

"Welcome to Chang'an Service Area." The two welcoming ladies have already opened the two glass doors for everyone. They also all know that the person visiting today is a big shot, so they must not make any mistakes.

"Your Majesty, this is the canteen. Pedestrians and caravans can buy hot food here. It is open all day. Your Majesty, do you want to try it?" Su Quan pointed to the sign and asked Li Shimin.

"It just so happens that I am hungry after going to court. I think those ministers are also hungry. I will treat you to this meal." Li Shimin stepped forward, and a group of officials heard that His Majesty was treating him and they hurried to follow.

"Your Majesty, this place is a fast food system. These dishes have their own prices. Basically, you can eat two meat and two vegetables plus rice. The price is only two cents." Su Quan pointed to the dishes that were neatly stacked. said.

Su Quan helped Li Shimin get the dinner plate, and Li Shimin pointed at the dishes and selected his favorite dishes. The ministers also followed suit and lined up one by one to select the food.

Wang De wanted to help Li Shimin carry the dinner plate, but Li Shimin kicked him away: "You old dog, where is your dinner plate? Go get the food quickly, I can do it myself." Wang De had no choice but to take small steps. Take what you want to eat.

Li Shimin came to the dining area with a dinner plate, and Su Quan and Wang De also sat with Li Shimin. Li Shimin was a little hungry, so he picked up the rice bowl and started to cook. The food tasted very delicious, even better than that of Shangshi Bureau.

"Bring me some of these braised chicken legs and Dongpo pork, as well as these green vegetables." Li Shimin ordered Wang De while cooking, and Wang De also put down his chopsticks and went to add more food.

"Don't tell me, this canteen is very affordable and tastes good. Can it make money?" Li Shimin had eaten and drank and followed Su Quan to the leisure area to take a look.

"Don't worry, your majesty. If the food is cheap, just earn it from other sources. There are also specialty shops in this service area. For example, wines, cans, and other items produced at various farms are sold here with a [-]% increase in price." Su Quan said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Yes, those businessmen will naturally be attracted by these things, and ordinary people can get benefits. Selling those things on Zhuangzi can also increase the revenue of the national treasury, which is indeed good." Li Shimin felt beautiful while stroking his beard.

"Your Majesty, the rest area is here. There are foot massages, bathhouses, and chess and card rooms here for people to have fun and entertainment. The admission fee is five cents per person, and services are charged separately." Su Quan continued to introduce to Li Shimin.

"I won't go in. This will have a bad influence, and all the ministers will follow." Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed. "Wang De, inform all ministers that we are going back home, and also ask Zhongshu to discuss the rewards for men from Lantian County."

Wang De responded and ran to the ministers to give instructions. Su Quan and Li Shimin were waiting aside.

"Your Majesty, how about a reward for doing some small things? I don't need anything now, and I feel happy and open-minded about serving the country. I just miss my cousin a little bit." Su Quan said to Li Shimin sheepishly.

"I won't miss you as you deserve the reward. Your cousin is coming back soon. I'll ask him tonight what his plans are. I heard he said that after conquering Tubo, he would also develop Lingnan. Do you know about this?" Li Shimin Ask Su Quan.

"I know, my cousin told me that I will have to hand over the affairs of Chang'an and go to Lingnan with him. I heard that my cousin said that we should vigorously develop shipping and develop good ports." Su Quan reported quickly.

Li Shimin and Su Quan returned to Chang'an in the same carriage. The heads of the family immediately surrounded Su Quan when they saw him get out of the car.

"How are you, Manager Su? Are you satisfied with His Majesty? Did this engineering test end perfectly?" All the family heads were eager to know the results of their road construction.

"Your Majesty said that the reward will be studied by Zhongshu Province in the past few days. Your Majesty is very satisfied." Su Quan also reported the good news to them.

Su Lie and Xue Rengui squeezed through the crowd: "Manager Xiao Su, we are leaving back to Songzhou City tomorrow. These are the materials and personnel that the young master asked us to take away. Take a look. If there is no problem, sign and seal us I went to the warehouse to pick up the goods.”

Su Quan pulled the two of them to a guard box: "Why are you in such a hurry? You have only been back three or five days, haven't you? Is there a situation in Songzhou?" As he spoke, he checked the personnel and material information on the list.

"After staying in Chang'an for a long time, I still think about Songzhou City. The young master originally asked us to rest for a while. But I think I still have a project to do there, so why don't I discuss it with Rengui early? Go back." Su Lie told the whole story.

Su Quan signed and sealed the order after confirming the information on the order, and handed the order back to Su Lie. "This time you are going back only as civilians. There are five Tianwei Army soldiers on the way, so remember to pay attention to safety and never take it lightly."

"Don't worry, the road back is almost finished. When we came here, there was only the finishing work. It shouldn't be a big deal here. We have already dealt with the robbers on the road." Su Lie patted his chest and signaled. Su Quan put his heart in his stomach.

"Okay, I'll give you a farewell tonight at Baoli Tower, and I'll be the host! You go back to Zhuangzi and call all the people who want to go with you, and have a good meal tonight!" Su Quan also responded to these two. The young master's personal military captain was very reluctant to leave.
