"In today's Tang Dynasty, can the people still have enough to eat?" Li Xiuning didn't know why Lu Chen linked military training with food reserves. After all, for Li Xiuning, the Detachment of Women's Army has always had enough food and salary. As for the food and salary situation of other Tang Army troops, , Li Xiuning didn’t know too well, thinking it shouldn’t be too much, right? This was Li Xiuning's idea, but Li Xiuning's tone of voice was not too sure.
"The reason why people can still have enough to eat today is because of the opening of granaries to release grain at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty!" Lu Chen naturally heard the uncertainty in Li Xiuning's words and said with a smile, "Let's go back. I've actually thought about this for a long time. Let's talk to His Highness. After all, this matter has a lot to do with Li Tangtianxia! And Your Highness can go directly to Tianting, right?" Lu Chen made a "please" gesture, indicating that Li Xiuning would go back to his residence to discuss this matter in detail. thing.
Everyone has already seen Beiweiwei's training methods, so there is no point in staying in the camp any longer. Besides, Lu Chen has even been given a training manual, so why are he still here? What's more, Li Yanjun stood beside him with a vague understanding and no sense of presence. Naturally, Li Xiuning couldn't let his sister be left out, so everyone returned to Lu Chen's mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Lu Chen was stunned, because the mansion had changed a bit at this time. There were servants and maids walking around, decorating the entire mansion.
"What's going on?" Lu Chen directly dragged a soldier on duty from the Beiwei Guard over and pointed at the slaves and maids walking around in the yard and asked.
At this moment, a well-dressed female official came to Lu Chen and said, "Su Chang has met the Marquis of Lu County! I sincerely welcome the Marquis of Lu County back to his home!" The female official who called herself Su Chang saluted Lu Chen and at the same time said Li Xiuning, Li Yanjun and Chai Shao also greeted each other: "I have met Duke Huo, His Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, and His Highness Princess Langya!"
"No courtesy!" Li Xiuning naturally knew Su Chang, and waved her hand with a smile, "Su Chang, are you still used to coming here?" Li Xiuning looked at Su Chang and asked.
"Your Highness, I feel no discomfort at all!" Su Chang replied calmly, "It's just..." Su Chang glanced at Lu Chen at this point.
"Just what?" Lu Chen asked coldly from the side.
"Xiaguan is now considered a member of the Marquis's Mansion. His Highness sent me to take charge of matters in the mansion. However, there seem to be restrictions in some places in the mansion, and I cannot make arrangements!" Su Chang answered respectfully. In Su Chang's consciousness, Here, since it was Princess Langya and Princess Pingyang who chose him and sent him to take charge of the miscellaneous management of the house, that is, the position of housekeeper, some courtyards in the prince's house were actually inaccessible to him, and Lu Chen even sent people to guard them. Su Chang felt very confused.
After all, in Su Chang's mind, imperial power was above all else. Since she was sent here by the royal family as the general manager, she should be able to enter and exit anywhere except Lu Chen's study and bedroom.
"Arrangement? Did you get my permission? Just make the arrangement?" Hearing Su Chang's words, Lu Chen's face suddenly darkened. At the same time, the cold aura exuding from his whole body pressed directly towards Su Chang. Su Chang directly Being oppressed by Lu Chen's momentum, he took a step back, and cold sweat broke out on his temples.
Su Chang did not expect that in front of the two princesses and the Duke, Lu Chen would dare to shamelessly show off to herself, a female official from the palace.
"Good brother! Good brother! This is my fault! Calm down! Calm down!" Seeing that Lu Chen was about to get angry, Chai Shao hurriedly came out to smooth things over. After all, in this situation, it was appropriate for him to come forward to smooth things over. Li Xiuning and Li Yan Jun is not suitable to come forward.
"Is this female official sent by you to monitor the subordinates?" Lu Chen looked at Chai Shao and said with a displeased look on his face.
When he heard Lu Chen calling himself "Xia Guan", Chai Shao's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Lu Chen was really going to be angry. Normally, Lu Chen and Chai Shao would call themselves "I'm here" or "Foolish brother". This time "I'm here" "Guan" directly made it clear that he wanted to distance himself. Not only Chai Shao's heart skipped a beat, but also Li Xiuning and Li Yanjun on the side felt a skip in their hearts.
When Li Yanjun heard Lu Chen calling himself "Xia Guan", his face suddenly turned pale, and he even complained in his heart that he had acted too hastily. Lu Chen seemed to have a good impression of him just now, and he was on his way back yesterday. After pleading with Li Xiuning for a while, she finally selected someone to come to Lu Chen's house to serve Lu Chen. Unexpectedly, this female officer made Lu Chen angry as soon as she arrived.
At this moment, Li Yanjun felt that he was doing something unnecessary. He kept stirring the corners of his clothes with his hands and peeked at Lu Chen.
"Oh, dear brother, where did you think you were!" Chai Shao hurriedly stepped forward and put his arms around Lu Chen's shoulders, smiling apologetically and saying, "These people are carefully selected by Princess Langya and Princess Pingyang to serve you, and they are obviously a little unhappy. You know the rules, please don't be like them, how about giving me face?" Chai Shao mentioned Princess Langya heavily in his words.
"Really?" Lu Chen's face still didn't look good, but it just softened a little.
"Of course!" When Chai Shao saw that Lu Chen's tone had softened, he directly put his arm around Lu Chen's shoulders and dragged Lu Chen into the main room, "Isn't this the case yesterday when Princess Langya came and found that there was no servant in Xiandi's house? I went back to my wife and told her about this. Why don't they bring these servants to serve my worthy brother today?" The two of them entered the main room, and Chai Shao pulled Lu Chen to sit on a chair and started talking about this matter. The whole story.
"This Su Chang is the female official of Princess Langya's Langya Palace. She has been serving Princess Langya. It's only a matter of time before you and Princess Langya are brothers. Why don't you be sent here to get used to it in advance?" Chai Shao said At this point, he smiled at Lu Chen cheesily.
Chai Shao's smile directly made Lu Chen feel scared. Although Lu Chen was indeed interested in Princess Langya, Lu Chen thought that he had not reached the stage of talking about marriage and only had a good impression. Why did he just turn his head and turn around? The female officials in the palace were sent to adapt in advance. What a hell to adapt in advance!
"Brother, can you tell me about such a big thing in advance? There are a lot of secrets in my house. What if this is leaked?" Lu Chen glared at Chai Shao, still a little confused. He said with displeasure and concern.
"What secret? Brother, can you take a look?" When he heard Lu Chen said there was a secret, Chai Shao's eyes immediately lit up. You know, just the Tie Guanyin he got from Lu Chen now makes Chai Shao in heaven. Beier has face in Ce Mansion. After all, before Li Shimin came to Lu Chen's place, no one else in Tiance Mansion dared to come to Lu Chen, including the shameless Cheng Yaojin, because Lu Chen is really involved here.
Chai Shao didn't care. Although Chai Shao was in Tiance Mansion, Chai Shao had a special status. He was the consort of Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning, so when Chai Shao came to Lu Chen for a stroll, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.
If other people came to Lu Chen casually, rumors would spread in Chang'an City on the first day.
As for the half kilogram of Tieguanyin that Chai Shao got from Lu Chen, now in the Tiance Mansion, from Li Shimin to other generals who are good friends with Chai Shao, regardless of whether it is Qin Qiong or Li Ji, these people are now doing their best every day. Zhong found an excuse to drink tea with Chai Shao.
In fact, Chai Shao came to Lu Chen today. Firstly, he wanted to see the training of the Beiwei Guards and how Lu Chen trained the soldiers. He also wanted to ask Lu Chen for tea. However, he just finished watching the training of the Beiwei Guards. When they arrived at Lu Chen's Marquis Mansion, they encountered something like Su Chang. Chai Shao couldn't even go to Lu Chen to ask for tea. After all, appeasing Lu Chen was a big deal.
"Look..." Lu Chen looked at Chai Shao's eyes that were burning with gossip, and couldn't help but touch his chin. In fact, the biggest secret in Lu Chen's house at this time was the heavily guarded back garden greenhouse. After all, the greenhouse Not only are leeks and cabbage planted here, Lu Chen also planted potatoes, corns and sweet potatoes, as well as many other vegetables. After all, there are plenty of seeds in the base, and all kinds of seeds that Lu Chen thinks are useful are all in the greenhouse. Planted some.
"It's not that I can't watch it, but I'm very unhappy with your decision to kill it first and then tell it later!" In fact, Lu Chen didn't intend to strictly guard against the greenhouse technology, but Lu Chen was still in the experimental stage, and he didn't try to kill me if he didn't succeed. In the past, Lu Chen didn't want to make this thing public. Of course, even if Lu Chen made it public, others wouldn't be able to build the greenhouse.
"This is my fault! I wanted to give you a surprise. I wanted them to clean up your mansion when we went to the Beiweiwei camp. Who would have thought that I would make Brother Xian angry? This matter I'm going to apologize to my virtuous brother!" Chai Shao said as he stood up and bowed to Lu Chen.
"Brother, you are serious!" When Lu Chen saw Chai Shao giving him such a great gift to apologize, he quickly stood up and extended his hands to help him, "Actually, my brother and your two highnesses are not arranging people to come. I also want to ask for someone from my brother, but I just want to ask for someone." But my brother also knows that Yudi often studies some things, and what these people say..." Lu Chen pulled Chai Shao to a chair and sat down, and expressed his worries.
"My dear brother, you can rest assured. These people sent here are all old men of my own family for many years. If anyone dares to talk nonsense or leak anything, I don't need my dear brother to take action. I will personally send him on his way!" Regarding this, The servants and maids sent this time, including Su Chang, were all people who had served Princess Langya and Chai Shao's house for many years. As for the servants of Princess Li Xiuning's house, no one was selected. After all, Li Xiuning had been serving for many years. I haven't returned to the princess's mansion anymore. No one can guarantee what the people in the mansion are like.
Therefore, Chai Shao can still guarantee the character of these people sent here.
"If I have my brother's guarantee, I can still use them, my foolish brother!" Lu Chen reluctantly nodded, but he still had some concerns in his heart!
