Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 251 Steam Engine, Train Here It Comes

"elder brother!"

"Zhonglie fell off his horse and died."

"The child also died of a serious illness."

"Honghua also contracted an illness and was bedridden for a long time. He had to take medicine every day..."

Changle sat next to Li Chengqian and told him some unimportant news that Li Chengqian would not deliver as he was away.

She glanced at her brother from time to time, and saw that her brother wrote in one go, smoothly and coherently, without any pause because of what she said.

His eyes were still focused and serious.

She was silent in her heart, but in fact she knew very well that what happened to Tuyuhun was bound to happen.

Zhonglie died in an accident and his child died young. I'm afraid it will be Honghua's turn in the future.

It's just a matter of time.

Seeing that her brother had no intention of speaking, Changle moved forward cautiously, approached Li Chengqian, put her arm around her brother's, and said, "My father told me to be in charge of the bank's affairs."

"What do you think, brother?"

"Is my sister going?"

As she was speaking, she caught a glimpse of the writing on the desk from the corner of her eye. The line of words she saw made her heart tremble with fear.

"Outline of the 20th to 25th Years of Zhenguan"

what is this?
What plan is my brother drafting?
The things that can make my brother so concerned and focused, and come from his hands, must be the direction of the court's development in the next few years.

"Hasn't His Majesty given you an imperial decree?"

"Why are you asking me?"

Li Chengqian didn't even raise his head, but just stopped writing temporarily.

"elder brother!"

Changle said coquettishly: "I don't know what to do, whether it is good or bad, brother, please help me with some advice."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Don't you want to go?"

He didn't expect that Li Shimin would take a different approach and let Changle replace Li Ke.

I have to say, this is a very bold idea.

Li Shimin was very brave to try.

Changle is very thoughtful when it comes to managing money.

The tea business was flourishing under her management, and she alone accounted for 80% of the tea produced in the entire Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, we have good relations with all parties.

He was able to please Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and do business with all the major families, making money through harmony.

how to say?

Changle is a leading figure among the princesses of the Tang Dynasty. Her background and identity are impeccable. She is also very good at networking, has wide connections and is well-connected.

It can be seen that her ability is outstanding.

There wasn't much resistance for her to take the position of bank president, not to mention Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.

Even Changsun Wuji will give his full support.

Having his daughter-in-law take such a position means that he has a say in the bank, which increases Changsun Wuji's power.

But after all, as a princess, she held a position of the third rank.

You may still face some criticism and denunciations.

Li Shimin gave Changle an order, so she would definitely go. But before going, she still had to come to Li Chengqian to get permission and support.

this point is very important.

"Brother, you don't tease your sister like that."

Changle pouted and said innocently, "Brother, tell me what you want to say, hurry up and tell me what you want to say."

"Give me some ideas on what I should do next."

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "You can go, just stay with your third brother first, watch more, do more, and learn more."

“I don’t need to say much about the importance of banks.”

"I don't have any idea, but I want to give you a reminder."

He became serious as he spoke, "The bank belongs to the court, the Tang Dynasty, and your majesty."

“It’s no one’s private property.”

"If you sit in this position, you must learn to control yourself and act according to the rules and regulations, and don't do whatever you want."

Changle listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

"Beauty!"

Li Chengqian sighed and said, "The flowers are so beautiful that they dazzle the eyes."

"Don't let the money blind you."

"Don't do anything that would embarrass your brother, okay?"

Changle fell silent.

Her brother was reminding her to control her hands and not do anything wrong.

If you do something wrong.

My brother will take care of her.

"Brother, no."

Changle nodded.

"You must remember that this is your chance to prove your abilities to the world, and also to establish a useful image for the Tang princesses."

"If you don't do well, this path may be cut off in the future. The image of the Tang princesses will not be accepted by the government and the public, which will cause embarrassment. It is better to be pampered and well-off."

"Don't even mention the praise and criticism from the court and the public. I'm afraid the other princesses will also have a bad opinion of you because of this."

Li Chengqian said.

Changle's heart tightened. She had never considered the impact behind this before.

I just feel that I can do things and accomplish big things in a dignified manner.

"Brother, what if I'm done?"

Changle blinked and asked.

"Do you want to be a female prime minister?" Li Chengqian asked indifferently.

Changle grabbed Li Chengqian's arm and said excitedly, "Brother, are you serious?"

Female prime minister!
These three words almost made Changle lose his composure on the spot.

She had never expected such a high.

But when the Crown Prince said this to her, a sense of ambition grew wildly in her heart.

When I think of myself as a female prime minister in the court, governing the country...

Just thinking about that scene made her heart surge and she couldn't control herself.

"The bank is your springboard, your starting point."

"A third-rank official is only one step away from becoming prime minister." Li Chengqian said slowly, "It depends on whether you can seize this opportunity."

"elder brother!"

"This is what you said."

Changle said firmly: "Just wait and see, I will make sure that brother fulfills your promise."

"I will definitely be the female prime minister."

She declared with great pride.

Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing.

Even the other old and cunning guys couldn't resist such temptation, let alone the girl Changle.

It is not easy to control and PUA her.

He is not afraid of people having ambitions. Even if someone doesn't have ambitions, Li Chengqian will inspire them and set a lofty goal.

"elder brother!"

At this time, Li Zhi walked over quickly, and after seeing Changle, he called her sister, and said, "The schedule at Tiangongfang has been arranged. We will go there early tomorrow morning."

"okay, I get it."

Li Chengqian said, "Lizhi, go find your third brother. There are still a few months left, so hurry up and get familiar with the affairs."

"Okay brother."

"Then my sister will take her leave first."

Changle stood up and took her leave. Before leaving, she glared at Li Zhi with a provocative look in her eyes.

Li Zhi was a little confused, holding his shoulder, and said, "Brother, what does sister mean by this? Come on, it's incomprehensible."

"She was so happy and excited that she had no place to vent, so she had to take it out on you."

Li Zhi: “…”

"Until the matter at Tiangongfang is concluded, all other schedules will be postponed."

Li Chengqian said: "However, you must inform each department first."

"Yes!"

After Li Zhi left, Li Chengqian continued to write the planning outline.

the next day.

Li Chengqian went to Tiangongfang early in the morning.

Today, Tiangongfang is even larger in scale, and its regional divisions are particularly clear.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang looked excited, especially Li Chunfeng who said, "Your Highness, we have waited so long for your arrival, and finally your Highness has arrived."

"Why? Is there something you are so eager to show me?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

The hair of these two people has become visibly thinner. One reason is their age, the other is their numerous affairs, and the third is that they have spent a lot of energy.

When it comes to Tiangongfang, one not only has to consider daily affairs, but also help with advice and provide ideas.

In the past two years, the prince has not been around, and the two of them have almost always made decisions and made decisions on their own.

You can imagine how difficult it is to achieve results without figuring out the problem.

"We have developed the steam engine as expected by His Highness."

"Your Highness, please take a look."

Li Chengqian had known about the progress of steam engines for a long time, but most of the descriptions were in text, and he could not be sure whether it was what he thought. He still had to see it with his own eyes to distinguish it.

The group came to a new area.

soon.

A huge iron lump appeared before my eyes.

What surprised Li Chengqian was not this, but what was laid under the iron lump.

track?

So this iron lump is the front of the car?
No.

How did they come up with this?

This surprise shocked him greatly.

"Your Highness, after many attempts, we applied the water power transmission method to steam and found that the power was extremely powerful."

Li Chunfeng said: "But we didn't know how to experiment with the power of steam. After many discussions and experiments, we finally created such a device..."

The process is very tortuous and complicated.

They took many detours and even became discouraged at one point and almost gave up.

But by pooling our wisdom and looking through ancient books, we can find new ways.

“How did you come up with this track?”

Li Chengqian asked curiously.

“We were inspired by Chidao.”

Li Chunfeng enthusiastically recounted: "At first, we tried to move using the same track as the road, but the equipment was too heavy and difficult to move, which was not ideal."

“Later, we built the track on flat ground….”

He understood now.

Sure enough, once the mind is opened, all kinds of inspiration and ideas will emerge in an outpouring.

"Try to start it."

Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!"

Li Chunfeng immediately shouted to people, and a group of people climbed onto the front of the car. After waiting for a long time, the huge iron lump slowly moved without any traction.

This scene.

Li Zhi and others who followed were stunned.

Is there such a magical thing?
"Brother, it's moving. It's so heavy, and there are so many people on it, and it's actually moving by itself?"

Unbelievable.

It's incredible.

It appeared right before his eyes alive.

Li Zhi felt like he was looking at a monster.

Li Chengqian ignored it and judged the speed.

After starting, the speed is gradually increasing.

But it didn't last long, and the speed dropped again.

"what happened?"

Li Chengqian frowned. It just felt a bit like a train, but before he could fully appreciate it, it stopped.
