Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen stood up and said to Sun Simiao:

“Dr. Sun, regarding the inpatient department, I will arrange for someone to start construction next year, and the rest will be up to Dr. Sun to arrange on his own.

If you need anything, just go find Wang Hongfu. He will satisfy all of Doctor Sun's needs.

I don't understand this and I don't come here often, so I'll leave everything to Dr. Sun.

The king is leaving first."

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best and will not let Your Majesty’s efforts go to waste.

By the way, the old Taoist priest prepared some pills for His Royal Highness Prince Ji to nourish the essence and strengthen the kidneys.

Your Majesty, take it back and take it twice a day, one pill each time."

As he spoke, Sun Simiao took out three bottles from the medicine cabinet.

"I am full of energy, young and strong, why would I need to replenish my kidneys? My energy is abundant, why would I need to replenish it?"

Li Shen's face turned serious and he walked out angrily.

Sun Simiao couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't even need to take Prince Ji's pulse. Just by looking at Prince Ji's face, he knew that he was lacking in energy.

Just as Sun Simiao was stunned, Shi Tou walked over silently, took the three bottles and put them into his sleeves.

"Godly Doctor Sun will give it to me."

After saying this, he bowed and followed. Sun Simiao finally understood and shook his head helplessly.

In the carriage, Li Shen took the porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled it. A strong smell of medicine made him frown.

"Does the king really look so bad?"

He looked at Chunxiang Dongmei and pointed at his face and asked.

Chunxiang and Dongmei looked at each other, smiling but unable to laugh. They certainly knew why Prince Ji looked so bad.

"Your Majesty, you are indeed not looking very well. You have been very busy these years, working till late at night.

It's normal to look bad. Once you finish the ceremony, Your Majesty should be fine after taking some tonic."

"Yeah, Chunxiang is right. These two are treating other people. I suspect they are quacks.

But right now we need people, so we have no choice but to use the two of them."

As she spoke, she pulled Chunxiang into her arms, and Dongmei consciously came behind Li Shen and let Li Shen rest his head on her legs.

"Chunxiang, come and warm my hands."

After returning to Prince Ji's Mansion with his hands warmed all the way, Li Shen's first thing was to send someone to call Wang Xuance.

At this time, it was finally realized that Prince Ji's mansion was short of staff.

"I see His Highness Prince Ji."

Li Shen's study room has been equipped with a kang and heated walls, making the room warm.

There was also a stove burning brightly in the room.

"Well, come and warm yourself up. This weather is too cold."

Li Shen lay on the kang and pointed at the direction.

"Your Highness, it's going to snow heavily. It hasn't snowed for so long since the beginning of winter. I think it will snow heavily this time."

Wang Xuance sat by the stove and warmed his hands.

"Auspicious snow means a good harvest, as long as there is no disaster like the north this year.

The New Year's Eve is coming soon. That bastard Wang Hongfu probably won't be back until before the New Year's Eve.

So many things in the mansion will be done by you, Xuan Ce."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? This is what I should do."

Wang Xuance bowed and said.

"You can do as much work as you can. It's all because of this mistake this year. But don't worry, I am always fair.

The more you work, the more you get. This year you will get a bigger bonus."

This is Li Shen’s way of employing people, using both kindness and severity. Naturally, he would give more benefits to those who do a good job.

"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji."

Wang Xuance quickly thanked him. Who doesn’t love money? He has several children in his family.

"Well, let me tell you what you are going to do now."

Li Shen then began to talk about the arrangements for the nursing home and asked Wang Xuance to find Lu Dingniang and take some decorative ornaments from warehouse No. 1 and transport them to the nursing home.

The nursing home will then be closed, and no one except those already admitted will be allowed to enter.

It was announced that the nursing home had been comprehensively upgraded and renovated.

Wang Xuance took a pen and paper and wrote down everything. This time it involved His Majesty, so even the smallest matter became a big deal.

"By the way, send someone to spread the word in the market that His Majesty has a house in the nursing home.

There is also a place where Your Majesty would often go to drink and chat with old ministers, and the monarch and his subjects would have fun together.

If someone asks you to rent a house, you can say that Wang Hongfu is in charge of this matter, and Wang Hongfu is not in Chang'an now."

Li Shen did what he said and he was really prepared to raise the price.

"Is the prince planning to raise the price?" Wang Xuance guessed immediately after hearing Li Shen's order.

"Well, let's raise it. Your Majesty will move in, and things will naturally be different."

Li Shen nodded.

"By the way, has there been any news from Xuan Ce's Japanese side?"

Li Shen suddenly thought of Di Renjie.

"Your Highness, the ship that transported the supplies reported that the construction of the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps is almost complete.

The outer city wall has been built except for one side. One side seems to be preparing to build a port to connect to the open sea.

The river channel is currently being constructed.

Di Renjie sent a ship to bring back a letter, which said that it would be completed next year.

Wang Xuance reported.

"Oh, did you say anything specific?"

"Your Majesty, the letter did not say anything specific, but Di Renjie said in the letter,

Because the city we built was too big, the Japanese court seemed a little dissatisfied, and local officials also looked for him many times.

Ask him why he built such a big city. "

The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps is a city comparable to Chang'an. If it had not been built with cement, it might have taken ten years to complete.

"Dissatisfied? Who cares if they are dissatisfied or not? We bought the place.

I can do whatever I want, why should they interfere?

If you are angry, just hit them, no need to be so polite.

They should thank me for building the city, but they dare to come and ask about it. They are really ignorant of their own life."

Li Shen had a look of disdain on his face. If the distance was not too far, Li Shen would have asked for permission to lead his troops to defeat Japan.

"Your Highness is right. We hired hundreds of thousands of laborers and fed them during the years we built the city there. They should be grateful."

Wang Xuance echoed that he knew from Di Renjie's letters that

Japan was short of resources, its people were poorly clothed and hungry, society was in turmoil, and the people suffered greatly from the war.

There is currently no unified central government.

It can be said that the country was in great chaos. The imperial court was very poor, and the people were even poorer. Only the landlords, powerful people, and daimyo were very rich.

The land purchased by Prince Ji's Mansion belonged to the imperial court. To put it bluntly, it was wasteland, close to the coast, and no one cultivated it.

After Prince Ji's palace invested a large sum of money, the local officials sold the land.

More than 100,000 laborers were hired to build the city and were given food. The important thing was that they would not be drafted into the army.

Protect them from the suffering of war. This is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, especially when they heard that the prince is a prince. Who would dare to mess around?

In their eyes, the Tang Dynasty was invincible.

"By the way, what is the name of the place where our city is located?"

Li Shen asked.

"Replying to the prince, call me Hizen."

"Shit, what kind of name is that? It's so greasy."

(The "chief" mentioned above is not the title of the boss, but the name of the officials in the Asuka period of Japan, including the chief, vice-chief, judge, and chief official.

I took a quick look at the history of Japan's Asuka period. It's a small place, but it's quite complicated. I didn't learn everything.)
