Even if he is beaten to death, Li Chengqian will never forget how these foreigners bullied China when China was weak.
But at that time, I suffered from the fact that I had no ability to serve the country, let alone find a place for the nation.
Therefore, he could only endure it and watch.
But this life is different from the previous life.
In this life, he has the ability, and China also has the capital.
Normally, people use knives to kill me, but now I am the one holding knives. How can I make those who bullied me feel better?
What's more, opening up the trade routes in the Western Regions would also benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian would never miss this opportunity.
However, Li Shimin was hesitant.
He said: "But judging from the current situation, it may be useless for us to unilaterally open the Western Region trade route."
After all, judging from the geographical location, if Datang wanted to do business in the West, it would definitely have to pass through the jurisdiction of the Western Turks.
And now that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks is so tense, how could the Western Turks, who are blocking the road, let go so easily?
"Father, don't worry."
Li Chengqian patted his chest and said: "I will handle it with full authority, as long as my father is willing to issue a trade permit."
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned.
Is this kid so confident now?
You know, the trade routes in the Western Regions have been blocked for hundreds of years.
Does that mean it will be opened as soon as it is opened?
However, looking at the guy's appearance, Li Shimin didn't say much.
After all, if business can really be opened up, it will be a good thing for the entire Tang Dynasty.
He just thought for a moment and then said: "It's accurate."
"Thank you, Father..."
Li Chengqian bowed down and bowed, and then he said with a smile: "Until I open up the business routes to the Western Regions, my father must not mention the prince again."
Good guy.
So he was waiting for me here?
Li Shimin couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. , said: "I really don't understand, why is it so difficult for you to be the prince?"
"Is this crown prince position such a hot potato that people are afraid to avoid?"
From the beginning to now, he really didn't understand Li Chengqian's thoughts.
What the hell is going on with this guy?
Could it be that the throne really didn't appeal to him at all?
Now he has some self-doubts, whether it really makes sense for him to be so serious about grabbing the throne.
…
Wait until you finish your meal and come out from the restaurant.
Before everyone could return to the government office, they saw a little girl jumping out.
She ran directly to Li Chengqian and said, "Li Chengqian, I finally found you."
"It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get there."
The woman said with a proud face: "I was worried that I couldn't find you when I looked for it, but I didn't expect you to deliver it to my door yourself."
Who else but Ning Ranran could call Li Chengqian by his name so rudely?
It was also this guy with a big heart who called out Li Chengqian's name regardless of whether there was anyone or not.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji on the side frowned after hearing this.
They didn't know Ning Ranran, and they didn't know that this guy acted like this because he was familiar with Li Chengqian, so they called him by his first name instead of calling him "His Royal Highness".
Seeing such a scene now, the two people had different thoughts.
Whose family does this girl belong to?
Why are you so rude?
Li Chengqian also looked embarrassed.
He smiled apologetically at Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, then walked up to Ning Ranran and said, "Little girl, I have no intention of messing around with you today. If you have anything to do, tell me immediately."
After hearing what he said, Ning Ranran was not happy.
She said: "What nonsense? I'm here to talk to you about serious business."
"I can tell you that the batch of fabrics sent to us by the light factory today is seriously substandard."
Ning Ranran folded her hands on her chest and said, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave."
What's the meaning?
Is this playing rogue with yourself?
If Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji weren't present, Li Chengqian might have whipped her again.
Just kidding, how could my own light factory make such a stupid mistake? ???
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "All the linen in the light factory is woven according to uniform specifications. How could it be unqualified?"
"Hey."
"I knew you would say that."
While talking, Ning Ranran reached out and pulled out a piece of fabric from her sleeve.
She handed the cloth to Li Chengqian and said, "Hey, this is what was taken out of the piece of cloth. Take a look for yourself."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also took the cloth with a puzzled expression.
When he got the fabric, Li Chengqian couldn't help but frown.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin also stepped forward and snatched the cloth from Li Chengqian's hand.
He just raised his hand and wiped it, then gently pulled it, and the fabric torn apart.
"Why is this cloth not as strong as a piece of paper?"
Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "Is there something wrong with the textile process?"
"Won't."
Li Chengqian shook his head, looked at Ning Ranran and said, "Is there a problem this time, or has it always been a problem?"
Hearing this, Ning Ranran also stopped joking and said: "The earlier ones are all fine, only this batch has problems."
"Um……"
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, then turned to look at Li Shimin and said: "Father, please go back to the government office and rest first. I have to go to the light factory to have a look."
"No."
"I will go with you." Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said, "These factories are run by our imperial court. Now that there is a problem, I have to take a look."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian prepared to take Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji to the light factory.
But Ning Ranran on the side seemed to have been struck by lightning, frozen in place for a long time without moving.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but turn around and said, "Why don't you go with us?"
After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Ning Ranran came back to her senses.
She walked up to Li Chengqian in a daze and asked in a low voice: "He...who is he?"
"My father."
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"
"Your father?"
Ning Ranran said with a surprised look: "Isn't that the current His Majesty?"
"yes."
Li Chengqian nodded calmly.
It’s as if Li Shimin’s identity is nothing special.
But Ning Ranran on the side was scared to death.
Just now, in front of the current Holy Emperor, did he call the current eldest prince's name?
Oh my God.
Did you get into trouble again?
See her look of despair.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh.
He asked: "What? Miss Ning, who is not afraid of anything, is sometimes afraid?"
Ning Ranran rolled her eyes and said, "This is the common ruler of the world. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty today?"
After she said these words, she wanted to give herself a slap in the face.
Isn't this nonsense?
He is Li Shimin's favorite son. What is so scary about him?
"Can you two stop dilly-dallying?"
Li Shimin turned around dissatisfied and said: "Let's go quickly, it will be dark soon."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian quickly agreed, and then led Ning Ranran to catch up with Li Shimin and headed straight towards the light factory.
