Time flies.
Soon the day came for Li Chengqian to set off.
Qianziying was already one step ahead of Li Chengqian, heading to the Northern Desert under the leadership of Luo Ding'an and Duan Zan.
Li Chengqian followed closely behind, taking his two wives and his maid Wuyou in the car to set off.
Early in the morning, the carriage drove out of Chang'an City and headed north.
Until the shadow of the carriage completely disappeared.
Li Shimin, who was standing at the top of the city, slowly turned around.
Taking the long cloak handed over by Cheng Yaojin, he wrapped it around his body and said softly: "It's really cold today."
"That is."
"With the prince gone, Your Majesty is missing a cotton coat."
Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "But your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The prince's ability is extraordinary, and no one dares to mess with him now."
"It doesn't matter whose son it is."
Li Shimin said with pride.
Seeing this guy's proud look, the two old gangsters Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but smile at each other.
Changsun Wuji said directly: "I have to say that His Highness's generation is far ahead of ours."
"Hey, I'm not convinced when you say this."
Cheng Yaojin said straightly: "Our generation's military life has been even more magnificent, and nothing can be compared with these little kids."
"that is."
Li Shimin also raised his head and said: "Even if we are older now, won't these little brats still tremble in front of us?"
"Isn't that because we are their fathers?"
Changsun Wuji had a rare rebuke to Li Shimin.
But Li Shimin was not angry, but smiled.
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, these children are all in the court."
"I can still remember all the things he did when he was naughty and against us."
"He squatted under the table in Tai Chi Hall and begged me for mercy. It seems like it happened yesterday."
Li Shimin glanced directly at the graying temples of the two old brothers behind him.
He said: "Okay, don't worry about him anymore. The three of us will take advantage of the beautiful spring scenery to enjoy the flowers and drink."
After saying that, he didn't care what the other two looked like, and walked down the city wall on his own.
The two people behind looked at each other, and then followed suit with a smile.
I still remember the first time I sent Li Chengqian off, it was when he went to Jiangnan.
And now ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The backs of these guys have also gone from being straight and straight at the beginning to becoming rickety now.
Even Cheng Yaojin's strong body has gradually declined, and he has lost more than one circle of weight?
Human life is, after all, too short.
In the blink of an eye, it's been decades...
…
The book is brief.
In February, Li Chengqian and others arrived in the Hetao area.
Now it has undergone many expansions, with countless fields, and the light industrial production area is even more complete.
Papermaking, weaving, iron smelting, etc., many industries were established here.
And because there are more workers here, many merchants have been attracted to open shops here, gradually forming the scale of the town.
Walking in it, people come and go, so lively.
It was the first time for Su Qingling and Lu Wanjie to come here, and they were shocked by the sight in front of them.
Is this still the poor place they remembered?
No matter where you look, this is a highly developed and wealthy city.
Looking at the witnesses of all this birth, Wuyou was also surprised.
I still remember that when I left, some prototypes had just been built here.
But now, only six or seven years later, it has already become like this.
Only the creator of all this, Li Chengqian, had no surprised reaction to all this.
He even felt that this was considered a relatively slow development.
According to his ideal, this place should now change from light industry to heavy industry.
However, since the creation of the steam engine was still at a stagnant stage, heavy industrial areas could only be thought of.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I really hope that some things can happen earlier."
If there were steam engines, Datang's technological level would be thousands of years ahead of the entire world.
That way, he no longer has to worry about China being insulted by foreigners...
And just when several people had their own ideas and were preparing to go to the hotel to rest.
A group of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared on the street ahead.
The leader, wearing official robes, got off his horse when he was about to arrive in front of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, he bowed deeply in front of Li Chengqian and called out: "Your Majesty, Bei Mo Road Inspector Shi Xiaorui is here to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
When they heard this, the people around them were a little shocked.
Everyone looked directly at Li Chengqian and the others who were dressed in casual clothes.
Is this person the prince?
How could the common people have imagined that the prince of the Tang Dynasty would travel in such a way?
"Xiao Rui?"
"Xiao Xiang's son?"
Su Qingling looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.
You know, Li Chengqian and Xiao Yu have a history of feuding.
This guy also played with Li Chengqian in the court more than once.
Now, when this guy learned that Li Chengqian was coming, it was really surprising that he came here to pay homage in the street.
However, Li Chengqian could also understand why Xiao Rui looked like this in front of him.
Although Li Shimin is willing to reuse Xiao Rui.
But Xiao Rui's deceitful father pushed the entire Xiao family to oppose Li Chengqian for his own selfish desires.
Therefore, whether it is for your own future or the future of the Xiao family.
As long as Xiao Rui succeeds, she must ease the rigid relationship with him.
After all, he is the current prince and the future emperor...
At that moment, Li Chengqian chuckled, quickly helped Xiao Rui up, and said, "Master Xiao, there is no need to be polite."
"After all, you are also my uncle."
"It's really against the rules for you to come and worship me."
Li Chengqian pointed to the surroundings and said, "Besides, I am traveling incognito, and there are many people in this place. Didn't you expose my identity by doing this?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Xiao Rui smiled apologetically and said, "But since Your Highness the Crown Prince is here, why don't you go to Zhechong Mansion to rest and come to a small shop like this instead?"
"I said it all, incognito, incognito."
Li Chengqian said directly: "If you don't come to live in a small shop like this, how can you be considered to be on patrol incognito?"
"You are a lower official, aren't you?"
Xiao Rui looked humble in front of Li Chengqian.
Looking at him, he looked as if he was going to kneel down to Li Chengqian at any time.
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said: "Okay, okay, it's like this today, so I can only go back to the house with you."
"good."
Xiao Rui hurriedly said: "I will have someone prepare a car to greet His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to."
"I'll just walk there with you. It's not far anyway."
After saying that, Li Chengqian really stepped towards Zhe Chong Mansion.
Xiao Rui, on the other hand, quickly ordered someone to help Li Chengqian pack his luggage.
While walking, Li Chengqian said: "After Liu Min left, I thought Beimo would be depressed for a while."
"I didn't expect that after Lord Xiao took over, the Northern Desert would become more and more prosperous and better."
Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Yu and praised: "All of this must be attributed to Master Xiao."
"The official is just following the orders of the imperial court, so there is no merit."
Xiao Rui is not greedy for merit: "And if we really count, the reason why Beimo is where it is today is because of the crown prince and the prince's glory..."
