Chapter 474 Bragging
Chapter 474 Li Chengqian sat in Qin Huaidao for a while, then left. Today he was specially sending the prey over, and in addition, he sat with Qin Huaidao, thanking him for his help today.
The next day, Qin Huaidao got up and wanted to go hunting, but Li Shimin said before that he had to accompany him. There was no way, so Qin Huaidao had to go there. When he got there, he still accompanied Li Shimin to drink tea, chat and brag.
"If you don't believe it, I will build a bridge on the Wei River. Pedestrians don't need money, and vehicles pass through a copper plate to ensure that they make money!" Qin Huaidao sat there and spoke.
"Impossible. The Wei River crosses more than 50 rivers. How to build a bridge? Don't scare your father!" Li Shimin said firmly to Qin Huaidao.
"Father, why don't we make a bet and give me ten thousand guan. Look at me, I'll build this bridge and go back. There's no water now, so I'll start repairing now!" Qin Huaidao sat there, drinking tea, and said with great certainty.
"Okay, I agreed to make ten thousand guan. After repairing it, my father rewards you with 10,000 mu of fertile land. I know that you like fertile land!" Li Shimin said immediately when he heard it.
"It's just settled. I'll go to repair it when I go back. It won't take long anyway. I will definitely be able to repair it before next year's flood season. My father is optimistic. At that time, I will probably receive a few chunks of money every day, and I will be able to recover the money in less than a few years!" Qin Huaidao sat there and said affirmatively.
"Sure, Father, wait! If this bridge is built, all the big rivers and rivers will need to be built in the future, and the transportation will be convenient at that time!" Li Shimin said happily. Then Qin Huaidao and Li Shimin continued to brag, drinking tea, and bragging, and the day passed quickly.
The next day, after Qin Huaidao came out of Li Lizhi's tent, he wanted to sleep and get back to bed. It felt like he had just finished sleeping for a while, so Wang En came and called.
"What's wrong?" Qin Huaidao looked at Wang En and asked.
"Duke Hu, Your Majesty is looking for you and said why didn't you go there today? Did you go hunting? Let the young man come and see it!" Wang En said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Oh, I've overslept. I smiled at the bridge last night. I thought it was almost dawn!" Qin Huaidao immediately patted his forehead, washed up quickly, went to the greenhouse, and arrived at the greenhouse. Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Li Jing, and Cheng Yaojin were all there.
"I've seen my father!" Qin Huaidao went over and bowed.
"My father thought you were going to hunt, why are you busy with so late?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile, and stood up at the same time, letting go of Qin Huaidao's position, asking Qin Huaidao to make tea.
"When I think about building a bridge, I forgot that my father atones for his sins!" Qin Huaidao immediately said to Li Shimin.
"It's okay, I know you're serious!" Li Shimin said with a smile, and Qin Huaidao sat down and started making tea for them.
"Building a bridge, what kind of bridge is built? Can Boping do it if the Ministry of Works builds the bridge?" Li Jing looked at Li Shimin with a little strange and asked.
"Building the bridge of the Weishui River, Boping said that he wanted to build a bridge across the river. I don't believe it. He insisted that it could be done. It would be able to be repaired with 10,000 guan!" Li Shimin said to the ministers with a smile.
"How is it possible? The Weishui River has begun to cross the river for 50 battles. It is impossible to build a bridge! If it is a little narrower, it is possible, but it is so wide, how can it be?" Xiao Yu immediately said it was impossible.
"I said, you kid has also started to get into bragging habits? Are you still repairing bridges?" Cheng Yaojin also stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Hehe, the Weishui River before was a bridge between small branches of rivers. If you want to go to the other side, you either take a detour of about 100 miles or take a ferry. It's very troublesome. I want to build a bridge that directly reaches the other side from Chang'an. This is very convenient, and the materials can be quickly transported to other parts of the country!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile.
"Impossible, there are 50 battles across the river!" Li Jing said, touching his beard.
"It's okay, I have made a bet with him. If it can be repaired, I will reward him with 10,000 acres of land. If it is not repaired, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I just want to see what others will say about Qin Huaidao after his bragging failed!" Li Shimin said to everyone with a smile, and Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin resentfully.
"Do you know? He also said that if a person can fly in the sky with a plane, it will take thousands of miles in an hour, and what kind of car is there? It's possible that the horse is not that fast, and this kid is now starting to brag. I have to slam his bragging!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke.
"Father, what I said is true!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and said seriously.
"I said Boping, don't get along with those boys in my family. They brag without any limits. You are even more irrelevant." Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Huaidao and said with a smile, and the others laughed.
"Hey, wait, I have to make a bridge for you to show you!" Qin Huai said that he was so depressed. He didn't know what happened these days. He sat with Li Shimin and chatted. He had nothing to talk about, but he was talking about the plane and train.
Li Shimin didn't believe it and said he was bragging. However, Qin Huaidao still believed that he could build the bridge. Anyway, the load-bearing of the bridge does not need to be large, so there is definitely no problem to repair it.
"Well, let's talk about it before repairing it. Don't say that my father didn't give you a chance. I'll give you 10,000 guan. I'll let you repair it! My father is rich, and there are hundreds of thousands of guan in his account. I've never been rich. By the way, Boping, you promised your father that you would build a palace for your father later this year. It's not a few months since the Chinese New Year. When do you want your father to wait?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Uh~ Forgot!" Qin Huaidao heard this and touched his head. He really forgot about this matter.
"Can you practice?" Li Shimin was so angry that he actually forgot about it.
"Yes, Father, I have forgotten it. You didn't say it later, and I didn't dare to mention it. If this is mentioned, those ministers won't impeach me to death and ask Your Majesty, you will build a palace, which is a waste of money?" Qin Huaidao immediately looked at Li Shimin and said.
"My own money is not the money of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but my treasury. Who dares to say it?" Li Shimin glared at Qin Huaidao and stressed.
"I don't know this, my son-in-law doesn't know anyway. Anyway, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money. Some time ago, Uncle Tang came to me to borrow money. He had already owed us 300,000 guan, but he had not paid it back. Now he is here to borrow money!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"I don't have money yet? The Ministry of Civil Affairs has a high income this year, how is it possible?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"I don't know about this son minister, and I am not from the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Qin Huaidao said with a smile and shook his head.
"No, I have to ask when I go back, what's going on? The Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money every year, and today's tax revenue has increased by at least 1 million guan. How could it be that there is no money?" Li Shimin thought about it and said after hearing this.
"The Ministry of Civil Affairs has spent a lot of money this year and has built many inns. The previous stations are already very old. Moreover, they need to prepare for disaster relief next year. So, they have spent a lot of money. The tax money has not been collected yet. It will take more than ten days to be transported here, right?" Changsun Wuji sat there and said, "He is familiar with the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
"Oh, this is almost the same!" Li Shimin nodded with confidence, then looked at Qin Huaidao and asked, "When will my palace be built?"
"Cultivate when you go back!" Qin Huaidao said seriously.
"This is almost the same. My father thought you wouldn't be able to practice it anymore!" Li Shimin stared at it, while Changsun Wuji and Xiao Yu looked at Qin Huaidao enviously. Li Shimin trusted Qin Huaidao too much.
This trust is something that other ministers cannot enjoy. If Qin Huaidao clearly stands by a certain prince, then the possibility of this prince becoming a future emperor is too high.
Changsun Wuji felt a little relieved. He knew that Qin Huaidao and the prince had a good relationship. He didn't know if it was good or not, but he knew it would definitely be fine.
Xiao Yu also knew that if Qin Huaidao was asked to support the King of Wu, then the position of the prince would be sure to be sure, and it would be very likely to pull Li Chengqian down. But now, it would be difficult to convince Qin Huaidao, not only that their generals would not stand in the sidelines.
It was Qin Huaidao's father who opposed the Sui Dynasty back then. Qin Huaidao must be worried that Li Ke would take revenge once he ascended the throne. Qin Huaidao would not believe any guarantee to Qin Huaidao, and no one would believe the promise of an emperor. At noon, Qin Huaidao was having meals in the greenhouse.
In the afternoon, the ministers left, and Qin Huaidao continued to chat with Li Shimin. Or was it Li Shimin reading a book, Qin Huaidao sat there and started drawing with the drawing. Li Shimin came over to take a look, but he couldn't understand it.
After asking what it was, Li Shimin ignored the drawings of Qin Huaidao's speech. Anyway, he didn't understand it. He would be relieved to leave it to Qin Huaidao.
In the next few days, Qin Huaidao chatted with Li Shimin in the greenhouse, and had never hunted. He came to hunt twice, but never went out.
At night, most of them sleep in Li Lizhi's room and they will run out in the morning.
That morning, Qin Huaidao and the others began to pack up their things and were about to go back. Qin Huaidao also commanded the soldiers at home to pack up their things.
When we returned to Chang'an, it was already afternoon. The housekeeper and the others prepared the people who worked at home. The prey was taken back and they were going to be dealt with soon.
"Master, I have caught a lot of prey this time. Thank you for your hard work!" Li Lixian stood there, watching the prey being moved down, and said happily.
"Believe it or not, I didn't beat you at all!" Qin Huaidao turned his head and looked at Li Lixian helplessly. When Li Lixian heard this, he looked at Qin Huaidao in confusion.
Chapter completed!
