Chapter 135
During the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty in the third year of Zhenguan, Qin Shubao also served as the deputy chief of the Jinhe Road March and accompanied the army northward.Maybe it's because of the cold weather in the north, or maybe it's because of the unsuitable water and soil, Qin Shubao's health has not been as good as before since he returned from the Yinshan Mountains.

Although Qin Shubao is now the founding father of the country and the Duke of the state, he has already handed in a letter of resignation to Li Shimin, and most of his posts have been resigned. The only thing left is the post of General Zuowuwei, which is Li Shiminqiang stay.

Now Zuo Wuwei's military affairs are all handled by Su Dingfang, Zuo Wuwei's general, while Qin Shubao's job is just an idle job.Such a person, Li Ke wanted to worship him as a teacher, and Li Shimin had no reason to refuse.

But now Li Ke's top priority is not to practice martial arts with Qin Shubao behind him, he has more important things to do - to build a government office.

The opening of the mansion is very cumbersome. If Li Ke is willing, he can hand it over to the people below, but other things can be done by others, but there is only one thing that Li Ke must do by himself, and that is to employ people, especially when he The servants of the main courtyard.

Now that Li Ke's reputation is booming, there are not a few people in Chang'an City who are staring at him, and if someone is staring at him, naturally someone is staring at his Chu Palace.

The Prince Chu's Mansion occupies a huge area. It might be a little nervous just relying on the dozens of maids sent from the palace. Naturally, he has to fill in some by himself. With the eyeliner of many others, especially Changsun Wuji's eyeliner, Li Ke really had trouble sleeping and eating.

Li Ke, the guard of the royal palace of Chu, need not worry. Li Ke was once a hostage in Turkic, and nearly a hundred soldiers of the imperial army served as the guard of the royal palace, guarding him to go north, and accompanied him in Turkic for four years.

In Turkic, Li Ke treated these soldiers well. Li Ke knew them well and could trust them absolutely. Li Ke greeted Duan Zhixuan and asked them to come over.

However, the servants sent by Prince Li Ke's house on a daily basis have to spend some effort.

When the Yahang in East City of Chang'an sent a group of people for Li Ke to choose from, Li Ke actually ordered all the recommended people to return, and he himself went to the Yahang in West City to choose people.

The layout of Chang'an City is rich in the east and rich in the west, empty in the south and solid in the north. When the rich and powerful choose people, most of them choose to go to Dongshi, because most of the maidservants in Dongshi's tooth shop have been taught some rules, know some etiquette, and are more convenient to use. It would be much worse.

"Your Highness, the dental shop in the East Market has sent people over just now, why does Your Highness make a special trip to the West Market in person?" Sitting on the carriage to the West Market with Li Ke, Dan'er asked inexplicably.

Li Ke said: "Most people in Dongshi are given away by powerful families, who knows what is mixed with the people they send, how can I rest assured."

Dan'er asked: "Your Highness is not at ease, please ask Wang Sima to carefully screen it, why do you have to make a special trip to make a trip?"

The Sima Wang that Dan'er was talking about was the newly appointed Sima Wang Xuance of Chu Palace. In Dan'er's eyes, Wang Xuance was a man of wisdom, and he was naturally very accurate in judging people.

But Li Ke heard the words and said: "Most of the people in Dongshi have taught the etiquette in the mansion, and they behave exactly the same. It's hard to tell the good from the bad. Besides, the Chu Palace has just been established, and everything still needs to be done by the master. He may not have so much time."

Dan'er asked: "Isn't there still maidservants sent from the palace? His Highness uses them as the inner courtyard, and then selects some people from the outer courtyard."

Li Ke smiled, looked at Dan'er and said, "When did this king say that he would keep all the people in the palace in the inner courtyard?"

Dan'er asked in surprise: "Isn't even the people sent by the empress unreliable?"

Li Ke said: "Naturally, the people chosen by Auntie are reliable, but not all the people sent from the palace are picked by Auntie. The maidservants sent by the palace this time, except for those in Aniang's palace, are all the others. Sent to the outer court."

"No." Dan'er understood what Li Ke meant, and immediately agreed.

Li Ke came in a carriage in a low suit. The people from Xishi Yahang didn't know Li Ke was coming, let alone Li Ke's identity. They looked at Li Ke as a child of the family who was wandering around with nothing to do. Seriously, only one guy came to entertain.

But when Li Ke told the staff of the dental shop the number of people he wanted to buy, the staff of the dental shop realized that it turned out that the person who came was a big customer, so he quickly invited the head of the dental shop to entertain him.

The head of the dental shop has been in the market all year round, and he has already developed a pair of eyes. He only took one look at Li Ke, and he guessed that Li Ke is not an ordinary person. Even if he is a son of a rich businessman, he is also a wealthy family.

If he was a son of an ordinary wealthy merchant family, how could he have such a bearing as Li Ke, and how could the maid beside him be dressed in such luxurious clothes?

The head of the tooth shop hurried up to meet him, and said to Li Ke: "The guys below don't know Mount Tai, so I hope you don't blame me."

The Sui and Tang Dynasties are no different from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The word "gongzi" can't be called casually. If you call it "gongzi", you must be a son of a powerful family. If you call it a child of an ordinary family, you will be laughed out of your teeth.

However, Li Ke didn't show the slightest abnormality on his face when faced with the title of the principal, he just asked: "I came here today to select some maidservants to enrich the mansion, do you have anyone for selection?"

Hearing this, the head of the dental shop smiled and said: "That's natural, the young master has come to us, we are here is the largest dental shop in Anxi City, and there are everyone, so you are satisfied with the young master."

As the chief said, he also took out a roster from his sleeve and handed it to Li Ke.

Li Ke has also heard people mention Ren Yazi, and today he really saw it with his own eyes and felt it was an eye-opener.

A book, dozens of pages of bamboo paper, which roughly recorded the situation of all the slaves, from Lingnan, Hebei, and Longxi, everywhere. If you count them carefully, there may not be hundreds of them.

Li Ke looked down at the roster in his hand. Many lives here are just a few short lines, and they will eventually be weighed with money. Li Ke couldn't help feeling in a trance.

However, it would be a good thing for them if they could be bought by Li Ke, at least Li Ke treats people kindly, and they don't have to suffer here.

Li Ke asked: "Is there a Jiangnan family on your side?"

The matter of Li Ke's opening of the mansion was also brought up suddenly after Cen Wenwen pointed out that no one else knew about it before, so since Li Ke asked for an order to open the mansion, it has been less than half a month since Li Ke asked for an order to open the mansion.

And from Jiangnan to Guanzhong, at least it will take nearly a month, so the Jiangnan people in this tooth shop must have left Jiangnan before Li Ke asked for an order to open the mansion, and it must not have been arranged in advance.

Moreover, the vast majority of Jiangnan people do not buy into the Guanlong family. Changsun Wuji and his like have no influence in Jiangnan, so the Jiangnan family is the most reliable.

The master of Yaxing proudly said: "Young master, don't worry, don't say that you are from Jiangnan, even if you are from Turkic, I can get it for you."

Hearing this, Li Ke was surprised and said, "Turkic people, where did you come from as a Turkic servant?"

The owner of the tooth shop didn't know Li Ke's identity, but thought Li Ke was curious, so he replied, "That's natural."

In order to stabilize the hearts of the Turks, Li Shimin did not order to sell any Turks as slaves. Where did the Turks come from?Li Ke seemed to smell something unusual.

Li Ke then asked: "Do you even have a way for the Turkic people?"

The owner of this tooth shop is quite cautious. He, Li Ke, has a strange eye and asks a lot. He was worried that something might go wrong, so he said: "Of course there is a way, but if you want to buy it, you can buy it. If you don't want to buy it, don't ask too much." gone."
