Dugu Jiali woke up in a daze. Long Chen sat next to her and handed her a pair of dry pants.
"Put it on."
Long Chen smiled lewdly.
Dugu Jiali blushed and put on a pair of pants. The pants she wore when she went to bed last night looked like they had been soaked in water.
Zhang Qian pushed the door open and came in. She saw Dugu Jiali's same pants that had been soaked in water. She gloated and said with a smile: "You know what it means to find documents, right?"
Zhang Qian gestured with her fingers, and Dugu Jiali said shyly: "If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have died last night."
Zhang Qian hugged Dugu Jiali and joked: "You can escape in one night, why not leave?"
Dugu Jiali was so embarrassed that her neck turned red.
Why not escape?
Because of the pain and pleasure, I can't stop.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't chew your tongue, you sleep with me tonight."
Zhang Qian stuck out her tongue and said: "Don't you want Chu Chu and Xiang Yun? You are the most fond of the new and dislike the old."
Zhang Qian knew that Long Chen liked a new girl. Yesterday she praised Wu Chuchu for being as beautiful as a peach. How could Long Chen let her go?
Long Chen smiled and said: "Good Sissy, please convince these two sisters to accompany me tonight for me."
Zhang Qian snorted and asked, "What benefits can you give me?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "What benefits do you want?"
Zhang Qian rolled her eyes and said, "Not serious!"
"Let's get down to business. The sergeants who are coming need to be arranged. The soldiers need to go to the military camp for training. The families need to divide the land and houses. This requires a lot of money."
After bringing more than 10,000 soldiers to the capital, Long Chen promised to make arrangements for his family members.
"This money."
Long Chen was in a bit of a dilemma. When doing business with the Tianxiahui and the Long Gang, all the money went into the Empress's pocket. Long Chen actually had no money himself.
Raising soldiers is the most expensive thing. If the money is not enough, soldiers will not follow you wholeheartedly.
The librarian once said: If you don’t have rice in your hand, you won’t even call the phone.
"I'm going to report to the Holy One and ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for funding."
After much deliberation, Long Chen still wanted to speak to the empress.
At this time, a plump, round-faced woman wearing a yellow palace dress came in from the door. This person is Di Waner, a female official in the Empress' Palace.
"Sir Long, the Holy One said that it costs money to raise soldiers, so he specially allocated 2 million taels to the Ministry of War. I am here to inform you."
Long Chen said with great joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"
Di Waner smiled slightly and turned back to Fengming Palace.
Once the money is in place, people can be arranged easily.
Long Chen asked Dugu Jiali to go to the Ministry of War to collect the money, and then work with the Wu sisters to settle the soldiers.
He took over the position of Minister of the Ministry of War and was about to take office.
Long Chen changed his clothes and left the palace with Zhang Qian.
Long Chen did not go directly to the Ministry of War, but rode into the Li's Alley. Zhang Qian asked the passers-by: "Which house is the residence of Chief Li of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
The passerby glanced at Zhang Qian warily, and then pointed to a house not far away.
"Thank you."
Zhang Qian saluted and thanked her, but the passerby turned around and walked away quickly.
When we arrived in front of the house, there was a sign on the door: Li Mansion.
In ancient times, palaces, government offices, and private residences could never be confused with each other.
The emperor's house is called a palace, the prince's house is called a palace, the official's house is called a mansion, and the common people can only call it a house.
These are the rules of the hierarchy and cannot be messed with.
I usually talk politely about how my family is doing, but that's just polite.
If a family has no fame and fame, no matter how much money it has, it can only be called a house, never a mansion.
Bai Qiulian and Li Junjun are both officials, and they are qualified to hang the door plaque of Li Mansion.
Boom, boom, boom.
Zhang Qian grabbed the door knocker and knocked several times.
After a long time, an old servant opened the door, poked half of his head out of the crack in the door, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Zhang Qian said: "The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Minister of War, and the General Manager of the Harem, Mr. Long Chengen, want to see Mr. Li."
Long Chen felt funny when he heard his series of titles, just like the emblem of the old witch Cixi.
When the old servant heard the words "Long Cheng'en", he was so frightened that he closed the door in a hurry and shouted: "Master, Long Shangshu is here to ransack the house!"
There was a sudden uproar in the yard. When Li Junjun heard that Long Chen came to the door, he was so frightened that he stumbled to the door. He opened the door with trembling hands and saw Long Chen and Zhang Qian standing at the door with smiling faces.
Li Junjun looked behind him and did not see the officers and soldiers he imagined.
He thought Long Chen came to ransack his home.
"Master Li, congratulations!"
Long Chen smiled and congratulated.
Li Junjun was confused and hurriedly bowed and said: "I'm going to pay my respects to Lord Long!"
Long Chen helped Li Junjun up and said with a smile: "Yesterday, your Majesty appointed your concubine as a member of the Ministry of War. I am here to invite your concubine to take up the post."
Li Junjun thought he heard wrongly and asked: "Your Excellency, your Majesty said that your daughter was given the title of Foreign Minister of the Ministry of War?"
Li Junjun and Xiu Mu were at home yesterday, and no one told him about the canonization. He didn't know.
Long Chen smiled and said: "That's right, I am also the Minister of the Ministry of War."
Li Junjun felt confused. Long Chen killed Bai Qiulian and invited Bai Tingting to take up the post. Long Chen himself also served as Minister of War.
Could it be that.
Li Junjun knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and begged: "Sir Long, Bai Qiulian has offended you, but my little girl is innocent. Please let me go."
Li Junjun thought that Long Chen wanted to harm Bai Tingting, so he deliberately set up a trap to make Bai Tingting fall into the trap.
Long Chen immediately guessed Li Junjun's little thoughts, and he was completely speechless.
Zhang Qian helped Li Junjun up and said: "Master Li, Miss Bai has made great contributions to defeating the pirates with Master Long this time. She has more than a hundred military achievements. Don't think too much."
In the room, Bai Tingting had just woken up and heard the noise outside. She walked out in her pajamas and saw Long Chen standing in the yard.
"Damn eunuch, why did you come to my house?"
Long Chen said: "The Holy One has appointed you as a member of the Ministry of War, and you don't even enter the palace to thank me. You are too proud."
Bai Tingting was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, you have granted me the title of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of War. What does it have to do with you?"
Long Chenhey He chuckled and said, "Your Majesty made me the Minister of War. You are my younger brother. I take office today. You come with me!"
Bai Tingting was ecstatic in her heart. She wanted to follow Long Chen. She spent the whole night thinking about how she could follow Long Chen.
Things that I didn’t figure out one night actually came true after I slept.
Long Chen is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and she is a member of the Communist Party of China. Even if she pesters Long Chen every day, there is a legitimate reason.
"Whoever wants to be your subordinate, don't go!"
Bai Tingting said something different and pretended to be disgusted.
Zhang Qian came over and advised, "You must not violate His Majesty's will. If you continue to be willful, you will be disobeying it."
Bai Tingting pretended to be helpless and said: "If it is not the will of the Holy Spirit, I will not follow you."
"I'm going to change clothes, Sister Qian, wait for me."
Bai Tingting happily went into the house to change clothes.
Li Junjun has a cowardly character, but he is not a fool. He saw that his daughter was having an affair with Long Chen.
"Sir, I don't have a very good personality, so please don't mind me."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I've learned the lesson, it's okay."
Not long after, Bai Tingting changed her clothes, and Li Junjun led her a good horse. Bai Tingting followed Long Chen to the Ministry of War.
After the people left, Li Junjun closed the door, his joy beyond words.
The old servant at home congratulated: "Congratulations, sir. The young master has appointed a foreign minister, and he has a good relationship with Lord Long. The Li family is expected to shine brightly."
These days, because Bai Qiulian was beheaded, the Li family is looked down upon.
Servants like them will be bullied when they go out to buy rice.
It's good now. Bai Tingting is promising and has an affair with Long Chen. The Li family is about to rise.
Li Junjun said happily: "Yes, this girl has promise."
He felt that perhaps his official destiny had also come.
Long Chen took Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting outside the military department, where a group of officials were waiting at the door.
Long Chen took a quick look and found that Wang Wei, the Minister of War, was not there.
