"Childe, when the little one goes back and points up the people, don't look at the fact that we only have more than 20 people, but it's not a small boast, our twenty or so people, even if they are against hundreds of people in the military array, they will definitely be able to protect Childe!" Qi Yong looked excited, as if the actors who had been preparing for a long time and were finally going to perform on the stage, and said to Xia Hongsheng with their hands.

Seeing Qi Yong's excited look, Xia Hongsheng rubbed his head with a headache. How could Li Shiqian do this? It's in vain that I'm usually so polite to him, Uncle Lee, Uncle Lee's scream! Xia Hongsheng felt unhappy for a while, and just wanted to immediately rush to the Hongwen Pavilion and grab Li Zhenpang and beat him. Think about it, forget it, Li Zhen has a weak body and poor physique, if he beats up again, then Li Shixuan's old yin man is going to yin me to death?

"What are you doing to look at you like that? It's annoying to see it! Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes angrily at Qi Yong, Qi Yong grinned and scratched his head and laughed, and said: "Childe, it's okay, Your Majesty just asked you to surrender, you must not come out in Xiazhou City, you can rest assured, you don't need to worry about things in the military formation." ”

Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes angrily again, and said to Qi Yong: "Nonsense, I don't know? Remind me with you? ”

Qi Yong grinned again and said, "Yes, yes, you naturally know, Childe." ”

Xia Hongsheng sighed, shook his head, cleaned up his bad mood, and said, "Forget it, you don't need to call so many people, you just go with me." No one at home can protect you, my sister-in-law recently lives in Chang'an City, and you let everyone else come to Chang'an. The affairs of Zhuangzi made the housekeeper pay more attention. Tell the housekeeper that the kiln should continue to collect river sand, and then sift out the fine sand to separate it. I guess it won't be too long to go to Xiazhou this time. As soon as I get back, I'll open the kiln immediately! ”

"Little obedience!" Qi Yong clenched his fists, turned around and ran out, riding up to Zhuangzi.

Xia Hongsheng himself was not idle. first went to the outskirts of Chang'an to arrange the affairs of the three hundred people, only saying that he was going to go out on an order, so that those scholars and instructors could proceed step by step.

Then Xia Hongsheng went to Duan Zhan's house again and visited Duan Zhixuan. made it clear that those 300 people were his own hard work, and asked Duan Zhixuan to take the time to go over and give a few lessons to the 300 soldiers when he was out. Duan Zhixuan had already promised Xia Hongsheng before, so he naturally nodded and agreed to Xia Hongsheng's request, and asked Xia Hongsheng not to worry, he would help take care of it.

Xia Hongsheng came out of Duan Zhixuan's mansion. So he also took care of himself and returned home to prepare.

When he arrived at home, his sister-in-law was helping him pack his bags, and when she saw Xia Hongsheng walking over, she said, "Hongsheng, this is your first time going out on business, so you must bring all your things." You can't take anything to eat and drink on the road, but you always have to bring some, and if you can't meet someone selling food on the road, you have to have something to support it. There is also a change of clothes, and the day is about to get warmer. But the weather is always hot and cold when it just warms, so you have to bring thick and thin clothes, and ......"

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "Sister-in-law, don't be so troublesome, I'm not going to go far." It's only a few days away, and it's estimated that it won't take too long. ”

"That's not possible, you haven't been far away, you don't know the hardships on the road, sometimes you can't see a single figure in a day." The woman's eyes turned a little red as she spoke.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I take Qi Yong with me. His Majesty also sent people, and they all walked on the official road, and their food and accommodation would be in the post station. Xia Hongsheng knew that his sister-in-law was worried, so he was relieved: "And I am an official of the imperial court." You won't suffer in the post station, and even your clothes are changed, so your sister-in-law can rest assured. ”

Although Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law was a little relieved when she heard him say this, she was only a little, and she had been telling Xia Hongsheng thousands of times. Xia Hongsheng knew that his sister-in-law cared about him. is to smile and enjoy this rare family affection.

But it didn't take long for the next person to report that the Li family brothers and sisters and Xu Qixian brothers and sisters were here.

"Hongsheng, you go and greet the guests, sister-in-law will sew and mend your clothes again, if the thread is broken on the road, it will be troublesome, but no one will sew it for you!" The sister-in-law said to Xia Hongsheng while taking out the sewing basket herself.

Xia Hongsheng suddenly felt something in his heart, and remembered a poem, and he was about to leave closely, and he was afraid that he would return late.

"Well, thank you sister-in-law, I'll go and entertain them first, and I'll come over later." Xia Hongsheng looked at his sister-in-law with a smile and nodded.

In the main hall in front, the four people of the Li family and Xu Qixian's brothers and sisters were all sitting there, they only knew that Xia Hongsheng was going to go on a long trip, but except for Li Chengqian, no one else knew what Xia Hongsheng was going to do.

"Why did my father send you out?" Li Tai looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise and said, "There are obviously so many people in the court...... Just let them go whichever one of them! ”

Hearing Li Tai say this, Li Chengqian said next to him: "My father must have a deep meaning in doing this. Come to think of it, Jingshi doesn't have to worry too much, his father will definitely not let you go like this without any support. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, Li Shimin did arrange some people to follow Xia Hongsheng, it is said that there is a person in it who is the inner guard next to Li Shimin, who belongs to the kind of master who is a master and a master, and this trip will be responsible for protecting Xia Hongsheng's personal safety. There is also Li Shixuan, who also pulled out a person to give Xia Hongsheng, and said that if there are any tasks that are difficult for ordinary people to complete, it will be handed over to him to do, and he will definitely be able to guarantee completion, and what do you say, "The old man is planning for the Tang Dynasty, so he recommended the virtuous nephew, and the virtuous nephew will go this time, and there will be no danger in Xiazhou, but he can establish meritorious service" Yunyun. It's not that Xia Hongsheng doesn't want to go, it's just that the business of the winery is about to start, the glass kiln will be put into production soon, and the military academy education of the three hundred people has just started. But the key is that those three hundred people are Xia Hongsheng's hard work, they have just begun, they crossed the river by feeling the stones, if there is a slight mistake, it will be a failure.

"Young Master Xia, I don't know how long you're going?" Li Lizhi asked, but in a small voice.

"At the moment, maybe it's less than a month, and more ...... I don't know, even if it's half a year, it's possible. Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said.

"It's been so long...... Xu Hui was taken aback: "Then you...... I...... By the way, you promised to teach me tai chi? If you don't come back for so long, then who will teach me......"

"Tai Chi?" Li Lizhi tilted her head and asked suspiciously.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "You can first walk briskly every morning and run in the evening, and hold on until I come back, and I will teach you Tai Chi." If you want to learn Tai Chi, you can't do it with your current body bones, even if you teach it now, you have to start running. So work out well and wait for me to come back. ”

"Can I learn too?" Li Lizhi asked suddenly.

Li Chengqian and the others looked at her with some surprise, but Xia Hongsheng laughed: "Of course, the princess can exercise with Xu Hui, and I will teach you Tai Chi when I come back." ”

"Speaking of which, the winery is about to start production, but this year's grain doesn't seem to be easy to harvest, and I've already discussed whether to let our people get together this grain at home first, and produce a batch first." Li Ke said: "I was about to discuss with you, but if you leave, I'm afraid it will be delayed again." ”

"It's not difficult to say this, from last year to this year, there was a drought in Guanzhong, and the people's harvest was not good. However, those grain merchants have grain in their hands, as long as we get through the first phase of production, the finished product comes out, and we have visibility in the market...... Hehe, maybe a grain merchant with a little vision will come to the door by himself. Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said.

"Oh? Really fake, what's the way? Li Ke looked at Xia Hongsheng with some suspicion.

"Of course, two words will do the trick." Xia Hongsheng stretched out two fingers: "Exclusive!" ”

Li Ke was confused: "Exclusive? ”

"A smart grain merchant can see how big the market is for liquor, and if the winery agrees to buy raw materials from only one grain merchant within a certain time limit, how big is the business inside?" Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Not to mention that there are also His Majesty's shares in the winery, what kind of reputation will it bring to the grain merchants if it can be exclusively supplied to the winery, and how much wealth can be generated by this reputation." Anyway, if I were a grain merchant, I would definitely say that it was a market for the liquor business, just because I could put on the name of a royal liquor shop for grain merchants, I would definitely try my best to let the liquor shop use my grain, even if I lowered the price to supply the liquor factory! ”

Li Ke nodded thoughtfully, and everyone spoke for a while before leaving. Li Ke said that he would see off Xia Hongsheng tomorrow morning, and asked Xia Hongsheng which door he would go out from, and several people left Xia Hongsheng's house.

"Brother Xia, come back early." Before leaving, Xu Hui said to Xia Hongsheng: "Be careful all the way. ”

"Yes, Mr. Xia, please be careful all the way...... Come back early! Li Lizhi and Xu Hui also said: "Changle is waiting for Gongzi to come back to teach Tai Chi......"

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Don't worry, it's only a month, and it will be very soon." ”

After sending everyone away, Xia Hongsheng went back to the house, and naturally his sister-in-law's advice was indispensable, Xia Hongsheng was also impatient, just smiling and enjoying this nagging full of family affection.

Qi Yong will rush back to Chang'an at night, and Xia Hongsheng's letter, the Wuhou patrolling the streets will not stop them.

Shuo Fang's time is urgent, and early tomorrow morning, Xia Hongsheng must set off. (To be continued.) )
