There are many people like Du Yan who are not valued by His Highness King Qin in his residence, so we can recruit them."
Ling Jing already understood the stakes, but still didn't give up.
In his opinion, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng had completely broken up, and the fight between the two would become increasingly fierce in the future. This was definitely an excellent opportunity for Prince Qi's palace.
The Prince of Qi's Mansion could use this to recruit outstanding figures who had fallen victim to Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's mutual targeting.
As long as it is done properly, the Prince of Qi's Palace will not only have the opportunity to become a force on par with the Prince of Qin's Palace and the East Palace, but may also surpass the Prince of Qin's Palace and the East Palace and become a stronger force.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Ling Jing, "Do you think I can also like people who my second brother doesn't like? Among the people who are not valued in my second brother's house, Xu Jingzong is barely worthy of being used. But Xu Jingzong is a man with different appearances and is not worth the trouble to recruit."
Li Yuanji always felt that Ling Jing regarded his Prince Qi's Mansion as a place to harbor evil and evil. Who was Li Shimin? An emperor through the ages.
His vision of looking at people has been verified by history.
Those who are not taken seriously or reused under him are either real scum, a duplicity like Xu Jingzong, or a scoundrel who likes to play dirty tricks and use small tricks.
Prince Qi’s Mansion is not a garbage collection station, nor is it an insidious and evil secret organization. Why do you need so many scum and fake people? Ask them to help you plot against your enemies, and at the same time plot against you?
Isn't that asking for trouble? Ling Jing opened his mouth, speechless.
He felt that some people who were not valued in Li Shimin's house could still be used by picking and choosing. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanji could only like one person and did not want to recruit them.
In order to dispel Ling Jing's idea of poaching people from Li Shimin's staff, Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and said seriously: "Ling Jing, you have to remember that we are no longer what we used to be. We no longer need to recruit those who we see. People who are not suitable but have to use them. Now we have the qualifications to be picky. So we no longer need to recruit people who others don’t like and we don’t like. In the future, we will only recruit people we can see. It's someone who is above, or someone who is of great use to us."
When Ling Jing heard this, he was in a daze. Has Prince Qi's Mansion grown and grown? Does it already have the qualifications to be picky?
He had always thought that the manpower of Prince Qi's Mansion was still insufficient as before.
Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing who was in a daze and continued: "Moreover, at this critical moment, we must not take action. We must not let my eldest brother and my second brother treat us as fishermen."
Ling Jing came back to his senses and stared at Li Yuanji intently, savoring Li Yuanji's words.
Li Yuanji stretched his neck, approached Ling Jing, and said seriously and solemnly in a voice that only two people could hear: "They are already at odds and are about to fight for their lives. Who dares to jump to them now except my father?" If you go in front of it, they will destroy it like crazy."
When two wolves are fighting desperately, a third party will never be allowed to be present. Let alone two young dragons with sharp claws and claws.
If Li Yuanji had jumped out and wandered in front of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng when they were fighting, he would have been targeted and would have died.
So if you jump out of this situation now, you will definitely be targeted and you will definitely die. The former has room for change, but the latter will definitely die.
Therefore, before Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng started the final decisive battle, Li Yuanji was unwilling to participate in their struggle. He even wanted to be in the spotlight as little as possible and do as little as possible to irritate them so that they would not regard him as a threat.
After hearing what Li Yuanji said, Ling Jing completely understood the seriousness of the matter. He never mentioned poaching people from under Li Shimin again.
"Invite Xue Wanshu to come in and sit down. When he comes to see me, it should be more than just visiting me. I also want to know through him whether Li Jing has fulfilled his duties after being appointed as the Minister of the Inspection and Military Department of Daxingtai School of Hebei Province.
Accusations are made in a positive and negative way."
Li Yuanji saw that Ling Jing never mentioned poaching people from Li Shimin's staff anymore, so he ordered Ling Jing to call Xue Wanshu in.
After telling some secrets that are not convenient for too many people to know, there is no need to avoid Xue Wanshu anymore.
Otherwise, as time goes by, Xue Wanshu will be murmuring in his heart. If it is more serious, he will become alienated from his morality.
No matter how you say it, Xue Wanshu is the eldest of the five Xue brothers and has a profound influence on the remaining four brothers of the Xue family.
If Xue Wanshu becomes disloyal, the remaining four brothers of the Xue family will also be affected.
No matter what you say now, Xue is still the number one general under Li Yuanji and can help Li Yuanji a lot. Li Yuanji cannot let them alienate themselves.
After hearing the order, Ling Jing nodded slightly and quickly stood up and left the pavilion. Not long after, he came back with Xue Wanshu.
Li Yuanji asked the two of them to sit down again, and while greeting the maids standing in the distance to prepare wine and food, he smiled and said to Xue Wan: "I just talked with Ling Changshi about some private matters related to the depths of the Forbidden Palace.
Don't mind if it's inconvenient to announce it to the public."
Xue Wanshu was obviously stunned for a moment, and said strangely in his heart: "Of course I don't mind."
In fact, as Li Yuanji, there is no need to explain too much to Xue Wanshu on this matter.
Since Li Yuanji has explained it, it means that he regards Xue Wanshu as one of his own and he also thinks highly of Xue Wanshu.
Xue Wanshu also knew that Li Yuanji valued their brothers very much, otherwise it would not have been possible for them to continue to lead the old army, nor would it have been possible for him to send one of his younger brothers to Hebei Province when he called him back to Beijing.
The reason why Li Yuanji did this was to ensure that one of their brothers would always be in Hebei Province.
There will always be someone to guard their family property in Hebei Province, and there will always be someone to guard their family members, so that they have no worries. If Li Yuanji didn't value their brothers, he would never do this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That’s why Li Yuanji and Ling Jing had private words to say, and when he hinted that he would leave for a while, he left without any dissatisfaction.
The reason why he felt weird was because he didn't expect that Li Yuanji would go out of his way to explain such a thing to him.
Ling Jing didn't know what Xue Wanshu was thinking, but he guessed why Li Yuanji explained to Xue Wanshu, and immediately said with envy: "His Highness, you treat you as one of your own. I have been with Your Highness for so long, and Your Highness has not You have said this to me several times."
Ling Jing didn't say it even once. That would appear false and hypocritical.
So he said that Li Yuanji said little to him, which highlighted the importance Li Yuanji attached to Xue Wanshu. Xue Wanshu clasped his fists and said seriously: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, we are all our own people, no need to be polite, I am also afraid that you will misunderstand."
Although it is not necessary to do this kind of thing, it is still worth doing when you can.
When people get along with each other, misunderstandings, barriers, conflicts, etc., etc., arise inadvertently.
If you don't pay attention, it will accumulate over time, and when it finally breaks out, it will lead to consequences that people are unbelievable and unwilling to bear.
After all, it is difficult for one person to guess another person's mind, and one person always likes to use his or her own mind to guess another person's mind, so the result obtained must be very different from another person's mind.
If the difference is not too far, there won't be any big misunderstandings. If the difference is too far, there will be big misunderstandings.
For example, a man and a woman met. The woman saw a little ink stain on the man's face and thought it was a little funny. She couldn't help but look at it twice, but she didn't say anything. The man didn't ask anything, and then she guessed in her heart that it was... If you don't attract a woman with your appearance, and then run after her driven by loneliness, the end result will naturally be a bruised head, bleeding, and sadness.
Therefore, when you encounter something that is easy for people to misunderstand, you must explain it if it can be explained, and try to avoid it from developing to the point of harming others and yourself.
When Xue Wanshu heard Li Yuanji's words, he clasped his fists again and said seriously: "Your Highness treats me with sincerity, how could I misunderstand Your Highness."
Li Yuanji nodded with a smile and got down to business, "You are here to see me this time. Is there anything serious you need to say?"
Xue Wanshu took back his hand and talked about business. Li Yuanji didn't say anything more and listened quietly.
Xue Wanshu didn't say too many irrelevant things. He briefly talked about what he and Ma Zhou had done in Hebeidao in the past six months, and also went into detail about some details that happened during the conquest of Fugongyou by Su Dingfang and Kan Leng.
Finally, he reported on the construction progress of the Dizhou Maritime Terminal and the water transportation terminals in Dizhou, Dezhou, Bozhou, Weizhou, Xiangzhou, and Weizhou. Then he reported on some of the government affairs that Li Jing took over after arriving at Hebei Road, and the implementation after taking over the government affairs. some policy measures.
Li Yuanji had seen most of what Xue Wanshu said in the document handed over from Hebei Province, but only some details were not mentioned in the document.
After Xue Wanshu described some of Li Yuanji's policy measures and changes in Hebei Province, as well as the gains and losses of Xue Wanshu, Ma Zhou and others in Hebei Province, we got a clearer understanding.
Everything about Hebei Province became more abundant in Li Yuanji's mind.
However, Li Yuanji was still more concerned about the construction progress of the water transport terminal on the river and Li Jing's policy measures after arriving in Hebei Province.
According to Xue Wanshu, the first batch of water transport terminals on the river have basically been completed, and some of the terminals that were completed early have even been put into use.
Some businessmen with a keen sense of smell have already taken the initiative to come to the door and start transporting goods over short distances.
When the water transport yamen directly under the Prince of Qi's Mansion, chaired by Samurai Yi, is ready and officially opens the water transport terminals from Dizhou to Luoyang and even Chang'an, merchants will definitely flock here and start transporting goods on a large scale.
Since the entire water transport route is very long and there are many places along the way, once large-scale transportation of goods begins, the existing docks and warehouses may not be enough.
Therefore, the construction of the second batch of water transport terminals has begun, but there are two problems. One is where and how to build the terminals in Chang'an City.
Although there are docks in Chang'an City, and there are three docks, they are all the docks of the imperial court, and the ships passing through Prince Qi's Water Transport Yamen to Chang'an City can dock, but they will inevitably be looked down upon.
After being driven away, I ran into a conflict with the imperial water transportation yamen, and had to make concessions to the imperial water transportation yamen.
In addition, Chang'an City was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, a place that everyone in the Tang Dynasty longed for, and was destined to gather all the goods in the world.
Therefore, once the terminal from Chang'an City to Dizhou is fully opened, coupled with the impact of the shipping terminal, the three existing terminals may not be enough, nor may the warehouses on the terminal be sufficient.
Therefore, the Prince of Qi now urgently needs to build a huge dock in Chang'an City and build a warehouse with a huge storage capacity.
Whether it is a huge dock or a warehouse with strict requirements, it is difficult to build it in this inland hinterland. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the location is not easy to choose.
The second is whether we should take the opportunity to connect Luoyang to Yuhang and Yuhang to the Yangzhou estuary.
If they can take advantage of the opportunity, the whole family of Prince Qi's family will not only be able to grasp one more way to make money, but also become the real people in charge of water transport in the Tang Dynasty, and all the water transport yamen of the imperial court will be able to serve as a foil.
