"It's not confirmed yet, maybe I will leave after the new year, if my concubine wants me to stay for a while, then maybe I won't go."
Li Ke said something casually, asking if he would leave after the new year, or he would not go to Yangzhou.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was a little disappointed, he obviously heard Li Ke talking nonsense.
"I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."
Li Ke was too lazy to pretend to be courteous with Li Chengqian here, he directly used a universal formula - I still have something to do, and then left the palace directly.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke's leaving back, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and a chill flashed in his eyes.
He didn't believe that Li Ke's return to Chang'an was purely for the New Year, otherwise why would he be ambiguous about the time of returning to Yangzhou?
It's just that he couldn't think of the reason for Li Ke's return for a while, and it could only be attributed to the fact that Li Ke might be targeting him.
Otherwise, why would Li Ke suddenly return to Chang'an City at this critical moment?
If Li Ke knew what was going on in his heart, he would definitely scold him for having delusions of persecution.
Turning his head, Li Chengqian walked in the direction of Ganlu Hall.
After leaving the palace, Li Ke realized that it was still early, so instead of going back directly to the palace, he came to the Ministry of Rites.
Before he left Yangzhou, he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was basically under his control.
Although Linghu Defen once said that the Ministry of Rites will always act according to his will, after all, half a year has passed.
After a long time, and because other people are not in Chang'an City, it is inevitable that people's hearts will change.
So he thought about coming to the Ministry of Rites to see the situation, not only the Ministry of Rites, but also the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, he would go to see it.
"See Your Highness King Wu!"
There was no change in personnel in the Ministry of Rites. When everyone saw him coming, they immediately saluted him respectfully.
Linghu Defen, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, came to greet Li Ke in person. His attitude towards Li Ke was the same as usual, and there was no problem.
"Your Highness, the Ministry of Rites is looking forward to you."
Linghu Defen was extremely happy with Li Ke's arrival.
What is the Ministry of Rites in charge of?Education, imperial examinations, books, etc.
What Li Ke did in Yangzhou and Suzhou really helped the Ministry of Rites a lot!
In particular, Li Ke destroyed the five surnames and seven Wangs in one fell swoop, causing this behemoth that monopolized the scholars and books of the Tang Dynasty to collapse.
This is great news for the Ministry of Rites.
In addition, Li Ke ran large government schools in Yangzhou and Suzhou, which enabled a large number of students to enroll.
Especially in the future, the Yangzhou model is planned to be adopted in all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and the number of scholars in the world will explode like a blowout!
It can be said that Li Ke definitely owes a lot of credit to the fact that the Ministry of Rites is now in full swing!
In the eyes of Linghu Defen and many officials of the Ministry of Rites, Li Ke is simply the ancestor of the Ministry of Rites, and they are eager to confess Li Ke!
But now Li Ke came to the Ministry of Rites just two days after he came back, which just shows that Li Ke attaches great importance to the Ministry of Rites.
This made the entire Ministry of Rites happy. The more Li Ke paid attention to the Ministry of Rites, the higher the Ministry of Rites would fly!
"The king is here to take a look."
Li Ke smiled, and was very satisfied with the situation of the Ministry of Rites, and his influence in the Ministry of Rites was still very large.
It seems that the Ministry of Rites is still under his control, and his will can determine the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.
"Welcome Your Highness to come to the Ministry of Rites to guide the work."
Linghu Defen understood immediately, and expressed his opinion to Li Ke immediately.
Afterwards, Li Ke took a look at the Ministry of Rites and said that most of the official schools in various places may be learned in the future.
After explaining some issues that need attention, Li Ke left the Ministry of Rites.
After leaving the Ministry of Rites, he came to the Ministry of Industry.
He felt much more at ease with the Ministry of Industry, after all, the minister of the Ministry of Industry is Duan Lun.
"What wind brought His Highness King Wu here?"
When Duan Lun saw Li Ke, he also laughed and made a joke.
"Don't you miss my uncle too much in Yangzhou? After returning to Chang'an City, I came to the Ministry of Industry to see you."
Li Ke also joked with Duan Lun with a smile.
"Sanlang, I heard that the five surnames and Qiwang gave you 21 of the most outstanding women at one time. Is this true?"
Duan Lun soon asked Li Ke curiously.
Li Ke smiled, just about to nod.
Lu Yigong, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry next to him, nodded: "Master Shangshu, this matter is true."
After Li Ke left Chang'an City, Lu Yigong was promoted from the right servant of the Ministry of Industry to the left servant.
Duan Lun was slightly surprised when he heard Lu Yigong's words.
He had read about Li Ke defeating Qiwang of the Five Surnames in one fell swoop before, but considering that Lu Yigong was a member of Qiwang of the Five Surnames.
Moreover, Lu Yigong is the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, so he can be regarded as a colleague. We have worked together for so long, and we can be regarded as affectionate here.
So he seldom mentioned this matter, for fear that Lu Yigong would feel uncomfortable.
But he didn't expect Lu Yigong to admit it himself, which surprised him a little.
"Because the daughter of the lower official is one of those 21 people."
Seeing the surprise on Duan Lun's face, Lu Yigong gave a wry smile and explained the reason.
Hearing this, Duan Lun suddenly realized, no wonder Lu Yigong would take the initiative to admit this matter.
It turned out that Lu Yigong's daughter was among the 21 people, and they were sent to Li Ke's residence together.
And Li Ke was also very surprised when he heard Lu Yigong's words.
He really never thought that Lu Yigong's daughter was among those 21 people?
"Who is Master Lu's daughter?"
Li Ke couldn't help asking curiously.
"How dare I ask His Highness to call you 'Master'?"
"The daughter of the lower official is named Lu Shiqing. If there is a time when she is not well served, I hope His Highness will be more tolerant of her."
Lu Yigong's attitude towards Li Ke is much more respectful than when Li Ke left Chang'an.
Not only because Li Ke now controls the fate of the five surnames and Qiwang, but also because his daughter is also by Li Ke's side.
If he is disrespectful to Li Ke, not only will the family put pressure on him, but his daughter will also suffer by Li Ke's side.
"Lu Shiqing is your daughter?"
Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, feeling that the world is said to be big, but it is actually very small.
He really never thought that the little secretary Lu Shiqing who followed him and helped him run back and forth was actually the daughter of Lu Yigong, a former colleague from the Ministry of Industry.
"It's the little girl."
Lu Yigong nodded.
"She's pretty good, don't worry."
"She also followed me back to Chang'an, you can go to see her in my mansion."
Li Ke nodded and said something to Lu Yigong.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Hearing this, Lu Yigong immediately looked at Li Ke gratefully.
He thought he would never see his daughter again in this life, but he didn't expect to see her in Chang'an City so soon.
Afterwards, Lu Yigong went out, leaving Li Ke and Duan Lun alone.
"How about the five surname girls?"
Duan Lun showed a look that a man could understand, and asked Li Ke curiously.
"If uncle is interested, I'll ask them to pick a woman for uncle?"
"It depends on whether my uncle has the courage to ask for it."
Li Ke looked at Duan Lun with a smile, and teased Duan Lun.
"Don't slander me, I never said that!"
Hearing this, Duan Lun immediately denied Sanlian, "I'm not, I haven't, don't talk nonsense!"
Just kidding, even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the guts!
Her Royal Highness the princess at home doesn't care what kind of girl you are, as long as she dares to enter the door, she will be torn up by your hands.
By the way, he was also torn together.
After the joke, Li Ke also learned about the situation of the Ministry of Industry.
Although he took away a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, the background of the Ministry of Industry is extremely profound, and quickly trained a group of new craftsmen.
Although he is not in Chang'an, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is also improving rapidly, and the research and development of new technologies has not stopped.
Especially now that the Ministry of Industry makes an unknown amount of money in steelmaking, and the research funds are quite sufficient.
After leaving the Ministry of Industry, he came to the Ministry of War.
The Ministry of War is Hou Junji's territory, and he is quite at ease with Hou Junji.
He even wrote a letter to Hou Junji before, but on 5.9 he didn't know that Hou Junji didn't understand the meaning expressed in his letter.
When he walked into the gate of the Ministry of War, he saw Hou Junji practicing riding a bicycle on the open space in the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
Hou Junji is similar to Li Shimin, basically relying on the sense of balance cultivated on horseback, he quickly adapted to the balance of the bicycle.
Although it doesn't look very skilled, but with a little practice, you can ride very well.
"Join Your Highness King Wu!"
At this time, someone from the Ministry of War saw him and immediately saluted him.
Hou Junji also heard the voices of the people below, and immediately looked towards this side, and found that Li Ke was indeed here, and was overjoyed immediately.
However, he forgot that he was still riding a bicycle, and when he didn't pay attention, the bicycle turned sideways, and our Master Hou fell to the ground.
"Master Hou, are you alright?"
The people from the military department hurried forward to help Hou Junji up from the ground.
"See Your Highness King Wu!"
Hou Junji patted the dust on his clothes, and then came to Li Ke to salute.
"Master Hou has a good talent, he is a quick learner."
Li Ke smiled and said something to Hou Junji.
"Your Highness, I think the Ministry of War can purchase a large number of bicycles for rapid marches!"
Hou Junji is indeed a criminal madman who only wants to fight. Even a bicycle can be associated with marching and fighting.
But when Li Ke heard this, his eyes lit up!
PS: The first update! .
Chapter 244 Troubled!There are too many beauties and I don't know who to choose to serve!
"Master Hou's idea is very good."
Li Ke nodded in agreement, and he also thought Hou Junji's idea was very good.
This is a bit similar to the motorized troops of later generations?Or beggars' version of motorized troops.
Especially after the major official roads are built and the road conditions are very good, the speed of the bicycle will be faster.
Once Datang wants to mobilize troops somewhere, he must urgently mobilize 5 elites to rush to the front line quickly.
