Chapter 486
Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao dared to go to the palace. At the palace, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, Li Chengqian and Li Ke had just arrived at the greenhouse.
"Make five cups, Boping will definitely come over later. This kid is too honest. When you went to announce the imperial edict yesterday, he did not accept the imperial edict, and he would come over early in the morning." Li Shimin said to Li Xiaogong and the others.
"Well, Boping is quiet and cautious. He will definitely come here early this morning!" Li Xiaogong also smiled and nodded.
After sitting down, Li Chengqian sat here to make tea. Today, the people who came here were all royal people. It was already on holiday today. The ministers were fine and would not come to the palace.
The palace is also decorating and preparing for the New Year. All of this is under the control of Concubine Wei. Concubine Wei also has great power. Some people also propose to confer Concubine Wei as the queen, but Li Shimin just did not express his opinion, and no one knows what Li Shimin means.
"This year's court is generally good, Gao Ming did a good job. I thought the severe drought in the northwest would make people in the northwest hard next year. Now it seems that there should be no big problem with this sweet potato.
Now that I have nothing to do, I will ask you to make a meal. Gao Ming, I will leave this matter to you next year. But I have to give you good instructions and strive to plant a mu of land for each family, and the court will give some rice to the people.
I don’t think there will be famine next year. Now I am just worried that the people will not be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes. I have no worries about the rest!" Li Shimin said with great emotion.
"Yes, please rest assured, Father, my son will personally supervise this matter next year." Li Chengqian nodded and said.
"Well, I have to thank Boping. As soon as the sweet potatoes came out, the days of famine in the people were over. Boping also said that even if the population of the Tang Dynasty increased by five times and reached a population of 10 million, I would not be afraid anymore!" Li Shimin continued to say to Li Chengqian and the others.
"Yes, when the sweet potato comes out, there is no need to worry!" Li Xiaogong also sat there and nodded and said. At this time, Wang En came in: "Your Majesty, Duke Hu is asking for a meeting!"
"Haha, look, I don't know Boping yet, let him in!" When Li Shimin heard that Qin Huai was coming, he was happy.
The other one is also proud. Qin Huaidao has never let him down, and he is proud that he has not read the wrong person.
"Yes, this kid!" Li Xiaogong also said happily.
Soon, Qin Huaidao came in and found that Li Shimin and the others were smiling at him. Qin Huaidao was a little confused, so he looked at himself carefully: "Father, uncle, what's wrong with me?"
Qin Huaidao said to them in uncertainty.
"It's okay, come and sit down. My father knows that you will definitely come. Look at this place and prepare the tea for you in advance!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"That must be coming to apologize. Yesterday I got drunk and slept in the study. Xian'er didn't wake me up!" Qin Huaidao bowed to Li Shimin and said.
"What are you asking for? You are timid. My father knows that you are drunk and specifically told your uncle not to wake you up. You have made contributions. My father told them just now that when this sweet potato comes out, Qin Huaidao has nothing to worry about." Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with reproach and said.
"Yeah, that's not in line with etiquette! My son, thank you for your understanding!" Qin Huaidao bowed to Li Shimin and said.
"Okay, have tea, let's chat today!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao.
"Okay, my father has a rare rest." Qin Huaidao nodded and said.
"Boping, will the Ministry of Works have any plans next year?" Li Shimin said with a smile as he looked at Qin Huaidao.
Now the Ministry of Works has become the most important department in the Tang Dynasty, with all kinds of good things emerging one after another. Moreover, with Qin Huaidao here, the Ministry of Works has changed from the poorest department to the richest department.
Many officials want to be transferred to the Ministry of Works, but Qin Huaidao just disagrees. He can be transferred, just one thing, whether he can pass the Ministry of Works exam. The minimum requirement for the Ministry of Works is to understand arithmetic. If he knows how to investigate things, then Qin Huaidao is a must.
"There are some plans for next year, one is to build a bridge. I dare not say that the bridge is about 200 meters wide, how many bridges can be built.
In addition, it is the construction of water conservancy. There are many drought weather in the north, so the construction of reservoirs can avoid drought. There is also the construction of the new palace of the father. This time, I wanted to use a brand new design and brand new building materials to build a house. I knew that the father liked to stand high and looked far, and I wanted a father to build a house with a height of 10 battles!" Qin Huaidao began to introduce Li Shimin slowly.
"The house of 10 Zhans is not a tower?" Li Xiaogong looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise and asked.
"It's not a tower, it's a house. The single floor covers an area of more than 15 acres!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said.
"How many, it covers an area of more than 15 acres and is 10 battles high?" Li Shimin also looked at Qin Huaidao in shock and asked.
"Yes, are you taller or older?" Qin Huaidao asked as he looked at Li Shimin.
"It's okay, no matter how big or high it is, it's really OK?" Li Shimin waved his hand immediately, then looked at Qin Huaidao and asked. He was very excited and wanted to know what the 10-stop house was like?
"Yes, no matter how high or large it is, my father, the price is a bit expensive!" Qin Huaidao said as he looked at Li Shimin.
"It's okay, it's okay to be taller. It won't take a year, or two years. My father has a lot of treasury now, so don't worry!" Li Shimin immediately told Qin Huaidao.
"Then, then let's do 15 battles?" Qin Huaidao thought for a moment, looked at Li Shimin and asked.
"Okay, that's it. My father also wants to see this house. After you say that, my father is looking forward to it now." Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao very excitedly.
Li Ke looked at Li Shimin and Qin Huaidao in surprise, thinking to himself, one dares to say and the other dares to believe, building such a big house and building such a high one, who dares to believe?
"Father, don't worry, I will let your palace be like spring all year round, and you will plant various flowers in it to ensure that you will not like it. At that time, the father will probably not come to this nectar palace!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Okay, okay, practice well!" Li Shimin was even happier. He was really looking forward to it.
"Father, how can you build such a tall house?" Li Ke was still a little suspicious and immediately looked at Li Shimin and asked.
"Yeah, it's okay, Boping can fix it." Li Shimin said without caring.
"This, such a tall building is not easy to repair!" Li Ke continued.
"Oh, Boping can do it, that's it. Your Highness, King Wu, you don't have to think about this." Li Xiaogong also said to the side.
"Your Highness the King of Wu, I am still OK with building a house!" Qin Huaidao also said confidently. The house that is only more than 40 meters long is not a big problem.
After chatting in Ganlu Palace for a while, Li Chengqian and Qin Huaidao came out first. The King of Wu wanted to come out, but was stopped by Li Shimin and said he wanted to make tea.
He wanted to chat with Li Xiaogong, but no one could make tea. In fact, he didn't want him to attend Li Chengqian's banquet at this time.
If this happens, Li Chengqian will definitely be dissatisfied. After all, he invited those children to dinner. What happened to the King of Wu in the past?
"Boping, there are a lot of things that have happened this year. I want to thank you." Li Chengqian said to Qin Huaidao.
"If I don't talk about this, I must help where I can help." Qin Huaidao immediately said to Li Chengqian.
"Well, okay, I won't say much. No one dares to let you drink more today. Just chat. After the Chinese New Year, I will probably be tired again. I will pay New Year's greetings to other mansions every day." Li Chengqian said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
Qin Huaidao nodded and stayed in the Qin Mansion Restaurant until the afternoon. Qin Huaidao returned to the mansion. At this moment, Cheng Chusi and others were required to go back with Qin Huaidao.
Today, Qin Huaidao also looked a little better to them, not as cold as before.
"Come on, drink tea and wake up, don't you drink too much, right?" Qin Huaidao smiled and greeted the sixth brothers Cheng Chusi and the other brothers Yuchi Baolin.
"I haven't drunk too much, what's this? That's the point!" Cheng Chusi waved his hand and said.
"Come on, sit down and say!" Qin Huaidao asked them to sit down, and he also started making tea, and they sat down around the tea set.
"This year is about to pass soon. Overall, everyone is good and has obtained a title. Next year, it may not be so easy.
However, next year, Your Majesty will build a palace, I guess I need a few assistants. Whoever you have time can come to me to help. I guess it is possible to get some rewards. Maybe you can get a title, but the possibility is not high, but there are also some." Qin Huaidao said to them.
"How long does it take to build a palace?" Cheng Chusi asked at Qin Huaidao.
"It takes about a year, and you have to stay on the construction site for a long time." Qin Huaidao said to them.
"Then we may not be able to do it. We need to be on duty for a long time, and it is still possible for two or three months, but it will not work for a long time!" Cheng Chusi said as he looked at Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chuliang.
"Well, they go to help when they have time, don't just go to play!" Yuchi Baolin looked at Cheng Chucun and the others and said.
"Okay, let's help, just call us at that time." Cheng Chusi also started to speak.
"In addition, the military headquarters will reform next year, you need to think carefully. The military rank will be established next year. Two big brothers, let's see if you can get the rank of major general.
And the other brothers, you should also see if you can get officers above the lieutenant colonel. In the future, the one who has real power in the army is the general. A general can command a division of troops, with more than 10,000 people!" Qin Huaidao sat there, continuing to remind them.
