Chapter 199 Make a suggestion

Suddenly, Ning Wen thought of something and pulled Qin Huaiyu, who was still relatively sober, and said seriously:

"The scout brigade, those thirty-five scouts, will be released by Liu Rengui no matter what. When you arrive at the Martin, wait, if you are not busy, I will go to Your Majesty's office to request an order tomorrow. I will arrange this matter. Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."[]

Ning Wen was dismissed from office, and he had thought of many questions and put them aside. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had planned to organize a scout brigade of 35 people into three thousand palace soldiers. Once he entered the Martial Arts, he would disperse it and secretly lurk on the Martial Arts prairie, waiting for an opportunity to inquire about the news and prepare for future wars.

After seeing off several brothers, Ning Wen calmed down and thought about the task of the scout brigade carefully. He felt that it was appropriate before he fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, Ning Wen got up early in the morning. Since he was entering the palace to look for Li Shimin, Ning Wen brought the book of arithmetic with him and planned to finish the work in one go.

As usual, Li Shimin came to the warmer pavilion. Wang De presented snacks. Li Shimin pointed at Ning Wen, and Wang De also served Ning Wen a plate. It was good, and Ning Wen was still very helpful in his previous treatment.

After taking a few bites, Li Shimin asked:

"Ning Wen, but have you come up with some new ideas?"

Ning Wen bowed:

"I'll tell you that I've been idle recently and have nothing to do. I'll compile the arithmetics taught by the Nanyang sorcerer into a book, and I'll present them to you today."

Wang De took the booklet handed over by Ning Wen and respectfully presented it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin's eyes lit up. He looked through it carefully, then smiled and said:

"Yes, Ning Wen has put his heart into it. He is one step closer to the previous calculation of classics. Wang De, the bachelor of calculation of classics in Hongwenguan, will I see them later."

It seems that Li Shimin plans to give arithmetic to those doctors of arithmetic to study first. This is fine. Ning Wen is happy to be free. After all, he is half-filled. It would be embarrassing if those old doctors of arithmetic to stop asking.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"speak!"

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the Artillery Battalion reconnaissance brigade can go out with three thousand palace soldiers to lurk on the Mariner grassland!"

Ning Wen said.

Li Shimin was puzzled and asked:

"What is the use of the reconnaissance brigade?"

Ning Wen bowed:

"The grassland of Marinha, the water plants are plump. Does Your Majesty have no idea about this?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Now my Tang Dynasty is not strong enough to afford such a war. Don't say that Mary is so powerful. Just talking about Goryeo, I'm afraid I can't fight in the past few years!"

Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Goryeo for some reason. Could it be that Goryeo sponsored Jie Li Khan during the Xuanwu Gate Incident? Or was it not clear to Luo Yi? Ning Wen didn’t know, but it was still necessary to explain it to Li Shimin clearly:

"Once the scout lurks, it can provoke internal chaos in the Martial Arts, and even wars between tribes. When retreating, it can monitor the Martial Arts. However, if you have a different intention, you can be prepared in advance. This time, the Tuogusluo, the Evil Fruit, and the Wagen tribes are dissatisfied with the Martial Arts. The weak tribes around all have their hearts against the Martial Arts. The scout can take advantage of this opportunity to further alienate the Martial Arts. After a year and a half, some tribes will surrender to our Tang Dynasty!"

When Li Shimin heard of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Expanding territory is the most sacred responsibility of every emperor. This method really works? Li Shimin was a little moved and asked:

"I'm afraid Ning Wen is willing to do it. How could the Marine tribe let a few scouts get apart?"

Ning Wen smiled slightly and said:

"Your Majesty is concerned about the subjects that scouts are focused on training. They are divided, spread rumors, and poisoned. Any means that they can't stand being shy, these scouts are extremely skilled. They only need to frame them a few times to provoke clefts among tribes. After a while, they can't turn against each other!"

Li Shimin was slightly moved. Yes, not only the people of the Marine, but also experienced these things. The Xuanwu Sect was just the killing between his brothers, and the brothers, let alone the loose tribe. Li Shimin couldn't help but have more hope for Ning Wen's plan, but he felt that doing so would damage his reputation. Li Shimin frowned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"If Your Majesty is unbearable, I am willing to be this evil person. If this matter is done, it is Your Majesty's idea. If it fails, Ning Wen is willing to bear such a bad reputation!"

In order to ask for a copy of Li Shimin's words, Ning Wen took the initiative. He didn't seek any good reputation anyway, so he got the words first.

"Oh, I'm planning for me like this, haha, I'm afraid Ning Wen has something to ask for me!"

Not to mention, the emperor was unique and could see through Ning Wen's intestines at first sight. Ning Wen smiled awkwardly and bowed:

"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask for the words "Your Majesty!"

Ning Wen took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Wang De. Wang De probably was literate too. He looked at Ning Wen in surprise, and then handed it to Li Shimin tremblingly, thinking, Ning Wen, you are crazy, let Your Majesty write a few words for you?

Li Shimin took it and looked at it. He didn't understand it very much at first. He turned it over and looked over again. Suddenly he laughed, pointed at Ning Wen, and said a little disobedient:

"Haha, haha, Ning Wen, you kid, you kid are happy with me. This is the restaurant you run? It actually makes all the business on my head! You dare to make this request in the Tang Dynasty, haha!"

Ning Wen didn't dare to answer the conversation, so he could only bow and stand aside, thinking about what Li Shimin meant. He seemed not angry, Ning Wen muttered to himself.

Li Shimin picked up the tea, took a sip, took a breath, breathed, and regained his demeanor. He slapped his thigh and said:

"Well, I will follow your wishes. Chang'an Restaurant has a good name, so why don't you use Datang Restaurant?"

Li Shimin held the pen and asked.

"According to the order, I will call this name in a restaurant in my humble minister. Thank you for your Majesty's name!"

Ning Wen quickly contacted him, hehe, the emperor gave him the name, and quickly found a place to open another one. I heard that Yangzhou is prosperous, so I will go home later and ask Sangouzi to go on a business trip to go to Yangzhou to set up a restaurant, and it will be called Datang Restaurant!

"You boy! Haha!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he widened his eyes, pointed at Ning Wen with the brush in his hand, and laughed. But as soon as he said that the so-called golden words were absolutely not taken back. It seemed that Ning Wen was really sorry for his rewards if he did not let Ning Wen bear the infamy. So after Li Shimin wrote down the words Chang'an Restaurant and Datang Restaurant, he issued an edict, asking Ning Wen to be responsible for the specific tactical arrangement and contact work of the reconnaissance brigade. At the same time, he required Ning Wen to keep it confidential and not to leak the news.

Ning Wen hurried to the restaurant's name written by Li Shimin's imperial pen as soon as he left the palace gate. Manager Ke and Master Zhao saw a few words and opened his mouth wide. He didn't believe it was written by Li Shimin, but when he saw the jade seal with a large signature, it seemed that it was really the case. Besides, he felt that Ning Wen was not a person who pretended to be the emperor's calligraphy, so he wanted to behead him.

"Well, sir, I'm afraid it's a bit disrespectful to place this imperial calligraphy treasure on the roof!"

Manager Ke was a little worried, afraid that he would be sued, so he would be arrested and then come out three thousand miles away!

Carpenter Zhao also looked at Ning Wen a little mutely. He had been with Ning Wen for so many years and knew that the Lord was not the one who was joking about himself, but this was too difficult. The emperor's calligraphy, with just a few words, everyone entering and leaving the restaurant had to salute!

"It's not that. Let's just do it first, and someone engraves it on the largest plaque first. As for whether it can be hung, I'll ask."

Be careful that the ten thousand-year-old ship would not dare to neglect. The censors were free of charge, and it would be troublesome if they were targeted. The previous affairs with Changle made these people feel a little excited, but they didn't catch their own. In addition, Li Ke joined in, the censors were not fools. It was so deep that they were still alive.

"Why don't we prepare the incense table first and give these two characters?"

Manager Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and was so scared that he suggested that Li Shimin's inscription be presented.

"I really want to offer it? Then, just offer it!"
