Li Shen was stunned when he heard Wang Xuance's words. Even Wang Hongfu and Xue Rengui were a little surprised.

"You mean someone is watching us from Prince Ji's Mansion?" Li Shen asked uncertainly.

Their people all came to work after being trained, and they all used single-line exercises and the like that Li Shen had seen in TV dramas.

"Your Majesty, not only are people staring at us, there are also people staring at our Prince Ji's Mansion. We found some unfamiliar faces at several doors of the Prince's Mansion.

However, in order not to alert others, we did not take any action. Wang Xuance nodded and said.

"There are people watching around the palace?" Li Shen was even more shocked. Why didn't he notice it?

"My lord, do you think this is your majesty's person?" Wang Hongfu guessed.

Li Shen raised his head and looked at Wang Hongfu like a fool.

"Old Wang, I think you are getting old, why don't you let your son take your place.

Our palace is full of people belonging to me, Aye, both inside and out. Why do I, Aye, need someone to keep an eye on me from outside?

Are you stupid? There are no people in my palace among the palace maids, eunuchs, palace guards, and guards in the guard camp, including the sharp blade.

Even when I made a mistake, Lan Yuer went to my mother and concubine to complain. "

Li Shen's words immediately received responses from Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui, who nodded in agreement, which made Wang Hongfu particularly embarrassed. He also knew that he had said something stupid.

"Then since you are not His Majesty's person, who else wants to know about you, Your Majesty?" In order to ease the embarrassment, Wang Hongfu continued to ask.

"There are many people, including the Tubo from Fan State, the prince from Chang'an, and even the old thief Changsun Wuji.

They want to know my movements, their plans, and their money. Unforgivable! ! Li Shen said angrily.

"What does the prince mean, do we arrest these people and question the people behind the scenes?" Wang Xuance asked.

"That's not necessary. I tell everyone about everything in the palace. If you want to investigate, you can investigate, but this matter must be spread in the palace.

I want this matter to reach the ears of my Aye. When the time comes, we don’t need to investigate. I, Aye, will go and investigate.

To spy on a prince is to despise the imperial power. Well, it is a serious crime to be beheaded. "Li Shen snorted, not necessarily having to do everything by himself.

Sometimes others will take the initiative to help you do it for the collective benefit.

"Your Majesty, this plan is really good, really good." Wang Hongfu immediately flattered Li Shen, making Li Shen immediately confident.

"Haha, where, where, I am just using a little trick, but having said that, Xuan Ce, I think it is better to send a group of people to follow these people to see who is behind them.

I am actually just curious. "Li Shen changed the subject, completely different from what he just said.

Wang Xuance was speechless for a while.

You have all the good and bad words to say alone.

In desperation, Wang Xuance took the order. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Finally, there is Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui has nothing major to do.

"Your Majesty, the guards who have reached their expiry date have been properly returned home. All the benefits mentioned by Your Majesty will be paid by the Royal Palace.

The new round of guards has been recruited, with a total of [-] replacements.

Five hundred and seventy people with strong abilities were retained, and [-] of them were over thirty years old, but had talents and abilities, and were left to teach in the guard camp and the Yucai Academy. "

After hearing this, Li Shen nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Well, remember that you must be kind to those who serve as guards for the palace. They live and die for the palace, so don't make people feel cold.

Even if our Prince Ji’s Mansion has no money, we can’t treat them badly.

The next step is to intensify training. All the winter equipment has been given to you, so your winter training will not be delayed.

To quickly improve combat effectiveness, it will be faster to introduce the old to the new. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, but due to the increased training intensity, the equipment needs to be replaced. As usual, the old equipment needs to be sent to the Yulin Guards. Your Majesty, you see..."

Xue Rengui's meaning is very clear, he needs equipment.

Li Shen's eyes turned to Wang Hongfu. He was the financial manager of Prince Ji's Mansion, and he was also responsible for the equipment.

When Wang Hongfu heard the request for money, he immediately shook his head and said:

"My lord, I have no money. I have already reported it just now. It is winter now. I see General Xue and will just use it for now. I will change it when I have money next spring."

"No, the training of the new guards cannot be left behind, otherwise it will affect the overall combat effectiveness of the guard battalion. If there is a war in the palace, how can we resist it." Xue Rengui immediately stood up and disagreed.

"General Xue, what kind of war can there be in the palace? The prince doesn't have to go out. Besides, isn't it the same with old equipment for training?" Wang Hongfu retorted.

"Of course it's different." Xue Rengui said.

"What's the difference?"

“The equipment of the guard battalion is not a uniform standard equipment, it is all customized according to the body shape.

Moreover, the old equipment needs to be left to the Yulin Guards. General Li has already come twice. I estimate that if I don’t give it to you next time, he may ask His Majesty to issue an order. "

"Alas~~~" Li Shen sighed.

"Okay, Lao Wang, let the steel factory prepare the materials. For the sake of the one million guan, give the old equipment to Yulin Wei, otherwise I'm afraid His Majesty will issue an order to take the one million guan back."

Li Shen was helpless. He was short-handed and had no choice.

The equipment of the guard camp is all made of pure steel produced in the blast furnace, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Each guard's complete set of equipment is worth more than a hundred dollars.

Every time he changes his outfit, it costs hundreds of thousands of gold. Otherwise, why would Li Shimin be so concerned about Li Shen’s equipment?

Moreover, Li Shen's steel factory is also constantly studying various formulas and adding various metals to experiment with which one is better and tougher.

"Your Majesty, then we have to use this million strings." Wang Hongfu said.

"Hey, move on, there will be a lot left no matter what." Li Shen said distressedly.

Before it even warmed up, it started to bloom.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the task of organizing a motorcade that you ordered has been completed. We have recruited a thousand retired guards.

Two hundred four-wheel carriages have been purchased from the palace's carriage shop.

But I haven't accepted the job yet. "Xue Rengui reported again.

This was something Li Shen had explained earlier, and it was also for the retired guards to find a place to support their families.

"Well, let them manage the rest by themselves, and our palace should not take care of it. If there is no business, the palace can let them do the delivery of newspapers," Li Shen said.

"By the way, Lao Wang, how is the occupancy situation in the industrial park? Has it increased?"

Li Shen suddenly asked, Wang Hongfu reported to him about the industrial park when it was first opened.

But Li Shen's memory couldn't remember the specific situation, so he asked again after he didn't remember it.

Infringement will be investigated
