Li Baihan received the letter and knew that Xueguo was once again provoking war, so he asked someone to bring his shirt and put it in the dormitory. He reckoned that if Shen's army was going to fight this time, Shen and Xia would definitely call him to go with him.The Shen family has long known his talent in war, and they must have guessed a little about his ambition.

In their generation, although the Shen family produced many generals, they were not as good as the previous generation. The Shen family wanted to be the same as before, only loyal to the emperor, not following the prince's position.

Among the many princes, if anyone who has been in contact with Li Bohan will directly exclude the other princes, none of them can compare with Li Bohan in terms of talent, let alone in terms of mind. The people of Long Zhi Gong will never kill a donkey.

In some comparisons, Shen and Xia didn't even have to think about it, they would stand by Li Baihan's side.Now that Li Jiayou is in his prime, it is still early to establish a crown prince. He and Li Baihan have plenty of time to plan.

Everything was just as Li Bohan expected, he received the imperial decree within a few days of putting on his shirt, this time Li Jiayou was also considered generous, he did not ask Li Bohan to go to Shen Hexia's side as a supervisor, but directly gave him [-] The army, let him cooperate with Shen and Xia to stop the army from the snow country going south.

This is the first time that Li Bohan has his own army. Let alone how long he can have this army, but as long as he is given time, he can make this army his loyal follower.

Military generals are much better friends than literati. As long as they have been on the battlefield together and shed blood together, it is a life-long friendship. Even if he does not lead this army in the future, they will still help him in any difficulties in the future.

"Brother Han, you are really planning to lead troops to attack Yusha City." Shen Hexi took a cloth and gently wiped Li Baihan's shirt.This shirt was newly made by a craftsman he found. It is made of high-quality blood cicada silk. I heard that this material is extremely flexible and light. The big shirt is very light, and the heavy ones are the patches of dust on the shirt. Fluttering fine iron sheet.

There is another important reason for Shen Hexi to use blood cicada silk to make his battle robe. Although the snow cicada silk looks delicate, it can be very tough, especially after it is woven into cloth. It was not easy to injure him with a knife or gun.

With this shirt, at least he can feel at ease. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the sword has no eyes. He is really afraid that something will happen to Li Baihan.

"Well, you will be my bodyguard with five thousand lions and tigers, and I will rush to Yusha City to meet your elder brother soon." Li Bohan touched his shirt, feeling warm in his heart, don't look at the dust. His shirt is unremarkable, but his family, Xi'er, spent tens of thousands of gold to make such a piece.It would be difficult for him to use blood cicada silk as a battle robe.

This blood cicada grows in the deep mountains and old forests, and it takes three years to produce cocoons. In these years, he has traveled to and from the forest countless times, and every time he has to find some blood cicada cocoons to come back. , and will not return empty-handed.

"How can five thousand be enough? I'll give you at least ten thousand. Let me think about it. You can't just bring ten thousand ligers and tigers. You also need to bring a few cannons. If you encounter a difficult battle, you just don't want to die." Just set off the cannons, don't go into battle yourself." Shen Hexi warned.

"Understood, Steward Shen." As he spoke, Li Bohan smiled and patted Shen Hexi's head.He seemed to be used to this movement. Shen Hexi had been by his side since he was three years old. After so many years, although he had grown up a lot, in his heart, he was still the poor little boy before.

"Brother Han, don't touch my head. If you touch my head, I won't grow any longer." Shen Hexi said sullenly. In order to grow taller, he now drinks milk twice a day and practices hard.But his small body just doesn't stretch, and he always rises slowly.If this speed continues, he will reach the peak when he reaches 20 by the age of 170.

"What do you want to be so tall? Look at Yannu. He is too tall and conspicuous. If he goes to the battlefield, he will be a living target." Li Baihan laughed.Yan Nu is now a giant, with a height of 2 meters and a hulking waist. It looks like a mountain from a distance.

"Yannu is considered a different kind. When he grew taller, he could eat half a cow a day." Shen Hexi was not exaggerating at all. At that time, he even wondered whether Yannu would praise his palace in the future. That's all. The amount of food, ordinary people really can't afford it.

"When I'm not around, you should also eat well. You can't be picky eaters. You can't eat meat all the time this winter, but eat more vegetables." Li Baihan was still a little worried about Shen Hexi. He usually loves meat. If he doesn't look at it, For ten days and a half months, he didn't bring any vegetables.His good habit is very suitable for living in Dunliang City.

No matter how much wasteland has been reclaimed in the current Dunliang City, vegetables are still very scarce. This cannot be blamed on Shen Hexi’s poor governance. It is purely a problem with the natural environment. Not to mention one season of planting, the growth is still very slow. The juicy Chinese cabbage is delicious in the mainland, but the taste has completely changed when it comes to them, and it tastes a bit astringent.

In order to grow a variety of vegetables, Shen Hexi has built dozens of vegetable greenhouses over the years. Anyway, his Baijing is not worth much, and the labor is not valuable, so it is no problem to build more vegetable greenhouses.

"Brother Han, how about I follow you to Yusha City." Shen Hexi said cautiously.

"No, there are still a lot of things to do here in Dunliang City. Although the mountain has been closed now, you still need to check the materials needed for road construction. Before the spring of next year, you have to deal with all the preliminary matters." Li Baihan resolutely rejected Shen Hexi's proposal How could he put him in danger? There were so many people in the barracks that he couldn't take care of them alone.

"I know you don't agree." Shen Hexi acted shamelessly, stepped forward and hugged Li Baihan's waist, this person was sometimes very rigid, but when he was young, because of his appearance, he followed Song Biling, and he looked very gentle.

These years, whether on the battlefield or in Dunliang City, he has grown up rapidly, and his appearance has changed from a gentle big brother next door to a tough and unrestrained king, exuding the aura of a superior person all over his body.And this temper is getting harder and harder, as long as he is sure about the things, he will not change himself even if he breaks his mouth. Uh, to say that his temper is tough, it would be better to say that he is getting more and more domineering.

"You, just don't let me worry." Li Baihan raised the corners of his lips slightly, patted Shen Hexi's back, and continued, "I will take your mother to live in Dunliang City in a few days. I think this battle will last for a while. The meeting can't be finished, I went to Yusha City, and I definitely won't be able to come back years ago, if your mother can come to accompany you, I will feel relieved."

"Well, I heard from my uncle a few days ago that my mother took my sister back to the Liujiabao to worship the ancestors. It should not take a few days for them to come from the Liujiabao." In my arms, I don't want to wake up at all.He also relied on others when the two were talking.

"I'm not here, you help me take care of Dian Ziming, he's been practicing martial arts for the past few days, it's okay, you take him to the hot spring courtyard, don't stay bored in the house." Li Baihan said.

"Hey, your cousin can't make progress. If he wants to practice martial arts, you won't let him."

"He is practicing martial arts. He is obviously looking for abuse. His foundation is not good, and he is eager for success. If he lets it go, something will happen sooner or later."

"Uh, got it, I asked Yan Nu to keep an eye on him."

The two were whispering in the house, Shen Yunping's family, who was far away in Liujiabao, was packing their luggage and preparing to leave for Dunliang City.

This time is the 300-year grand ceremony of the Liu family. As long as they are the descendants of the Liu family, no matter where they are, they must return to Liujiabao. As early as three years ago, Liu Qinglei sent someone to send a message to let the descendants of the Liu family prepare early. On the big day, he doesn't want anyone missing.

The married daughter is also surnamed Liu. Liu Qinghe returned to Liujiabao two months earlier. She doesn't want to stay in Yong'an City at all. I want to sow more seeds while he is still young, so that they can have a baby.

The yard they lived in was non-stop all day long, and the aunts were all dressed up, looking for all kinds of oil to drill into their yard, so she wanted to find someone to drive all these aunts out.

Shen Yunping is also troubled. He is getting older, and his love for beautiful women is no longer what it used to be. Now most of the time, he spends his time in the study writing, drawing or something, and sometimes he grows flowers and plants.Knowing that he likes to mess around with flowers and plants, Shen Hexi sent some pots of top-grade camellia to honor his father.

Whenever Shen Yunping sees these camellias, he misses his son who is far away in Dunliang City.His other children are all married, married, and now only his youngest daughter, Min'er, can accompany him in the mansion.This person became more and more lonely as he got old, and he wanted to have someone by his side. This time Liu Qinghe said that he was going home to worship his ancestors, so he came along with him.

One is to get rid of those aunts who are always clinging to him, and the other is to come to Dunliang City to see his youngest son.I don't know what he looks like now, and they haven't seen each other for a year.

As soon as Li Baihan left with the lion and tiger army, Shen Hexi led the people and began to prepare materials for road construction.Now that winter has just entered and the ground is not yet frozen, he called the merchants who had bid for the original bid to discuss the materials.

Of course, the person who came forward could not be Shen Hexi himself, as a prince, he still had to put on airs occasionally.It was Jiang Yun who came to meet the businessman. As the chief steward of the palace, he brought Shen Hexi to the front in many matters.

The total length of the road construction this time is thousands of miles. Even if the materials are obtained locally, it is still necessary to purchase a large amount of materials from merchants.

"Everyone, the list in your hands is this palace. The materials to be purchased and the workers to be hired are clearly written on it. The prince hopes that everything on it will be ready within a month, everyone. It might be possible." Jiang Yun said calmly while sitting on the top seat in an official robe.Who would have thought that Jiang Yun, who was once young, was an exile. In just a few years, he has been reborn and become the target of countless people in Dunliang City.

"Master Jiang, can you give me some time? Many of these more than 100 craftsmen are now in the south. Even if they rush on their way non-stop, they will not be able to pass in a month." Gu, named He, is a well-known house-building family in Dunliang City.More than half of the houses in the entire Dunliang city came from their Gu family.

"Boss Gu, the lord told you this matter two months ago. After winter, all the materials for next year should be prepared. Whether your workers come or not has nothing to do with us. I just want one It’s good to see the materials used to build the house in a month’s time.” Jiang Yun didn’t listen to the old man’s explanation at all, what does it mean that craftsmen are absent? Could it be that there are only 100 craftsmen in their Gu family, without them, their Gu family can’t do anything? If you go out, no one will believe it.

Gu He's face is a bit ugly. It's not that the Gu family didn't take over the work of the official family before, but they were not too hasty. Usually they finished their work and did it for the official family when they had time. Anyway, when the time comes The people who bought the goods gave more money, so they didn't care about their delay in the construction period.After all, the price given by the government is extremely low, and they have high-priced work in their hands, so they will definitely not do the low-priced work first.

It's just that this time, it seems that things are a bit difficult to handle. This is the first time that Prince Shen has released a project. It seems that it is a little different from the previous officials, and the requirements are much stricter than before.

But he has already been marked, and it is too late to regret it now.Facing the calm Jiang Yun, Gu He secretly wiped a cold sweat. This Mr. Jiang is not easy to get along with. I heard that a few days ago, a merchant sent him some moth-eaten Timber, Mr. Jiang directly ordered the business owner to be imprisoned and all his property was confiscated.This person looks like a meek and weak scholar, but unexpectedly he is not so cruel and merciless. If he is refusing and wants to delay the construction period, I am afraid that he will not let him off lightly.

At this time, Gu He felt a little regretful, why did you talk so fast just now, and wanted to test him out, but now it's all over, how will he end up.

"This old man will definitely live up to the prince's expectations. Even if our Gu family does not accept work from other families, we will prepare the materials within one month according to the prince's request." Gu He said.

When he said this, other merchants also expressed their opinions that they would submit materials on time according to the construction schedule.

The bulk purchase of materials for road construction and building post stations this time really caused Shen Hexi to suffer a lot. While counting the copper coins in his pocket, he thought, this is not good. He is appeasing the merchants in the city, but he How much do you want to pay yourself?No, in order to save money, he still needs to get local materials after he enters the mountain. When the spring of next year begins, he will send people to the forest to cut wood. This road construction will definitely require a lot of wood felling, and these alone will save him a lot of money. money.

There are also those bluestones, he bought them from merchants in Dunliang City, and he spent all his money. If he sent people to mine in the mountains, it would be a labor cost. If it was dozens or hundreds of stones, he would not pay It’s short of this money, but it’s thousands of miles away. How many bluestone slabs he used, it’s a huge sum of money. He might as well use the money left over to supplement Li Baihan.

He spent as much money as running water in leading troops to fight. If the battle lasted for a long time, the imperial court might not be able to afford it.In order not to let Li Baihan be wronged, those merchants must be wronged.
