Li Chengqian helped paste stamps.

But when he posted it, he was quite indecent. He licked the back of the stamp with his tongue and then stuck it to the envelope.

Li Shimin felt a little unhappy when he saw this, but soon he held back.

Then the envelope was given the address and the name of the sending.

Li Shimin wrote the four words Changsun Wuji on it.

Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin were childhood playmates, and then they were relatives of the uncle. Although Li Shimin relied more on weekdays, in fact, in Li Shimin's heart, the person he trusted the most was Changsun Wuji.

After everything was written down, Li Shimin said: "What should we do next?"

Li Chengqian said: "Father, my son, please let me put it to the mailbox."

Li Shimin said, "I'm going in person."

"Ah... This is the Eastern Palace, I'm afraid the journey is a bit far away." Li Chengqian was worried.

Although such postal booths and newsstands are all arranged in Erpigou and Chang'an, the East Palace is only located near the northeast corner, which is a bit far away, mainly the living area of ​​the East Palace guards and the eunuchs.

It’s no wonder that Li Chengqian has no need to deliver letters, and this kind of thing must be considered in densely populated places.

Li Shimin said enthusiastically: "It's okay, I'll ride my bike."

He actually grabbed the dragon head, turned over, and then drove onto the car in a light manner.

For Li Shimin, he would have some doubts about anything others did on his behalf. If the prince fooled him, it might not be necessary to let the eunuchs go and deliver him on his behalf, so he would rather try this thing himself.

Seeing that Li Shimin started pedaling, Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian had no choice but to follow him obediently.

However, the threshold of the hall is very high. Just as he reached the door, Li Shimin had to get out and carry the car out. He even disliked the high threshold. This thing... besides showing a person's identity, it has become an obstacle now.

After leaving the hall, Li Shimin rode his bike and drove fast, and the others did not have such good luck, so they had to follow him out of breath.

Li Chengqian hated that he had lost two legs and was sprinting in front to lead the way. The eunuchs and Wei Shu along the way saw His Majesty pedaling out, so they chased Li Chengqian. They were all so scared that they were suffocating. They didn't know which one they played.

Halfway through the road, Li Shimin turned around after realizing it, and happened to see Chen Zhengtai sticking out his tongue like a wolf dog behind him, almost paralyzing.

So he stopped the car and waited for Chen Zhengtai to catch up, Li Shimin said relaxedly: "Why are you running so slowly? Look at me..."

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but complain, is there anyone who bullies people like this? If you have the ability, I will ride a bicycle and you will chase you!

But he could only say this in his heart. He coughed and said, "Your Majesty, the back seat of this car can be carried by people. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Can you carry people?" Li Shimin said in surprise: "Is that so? Come and try it."

Chen Zhengtai was waiting for this sentence, and immediately spread his legs without hesitation, and he sat on the back seat of the bicycle like riding a horse.

Li Shimin looked back suspiciously and then pedaled the bike. This time, the car was obviously a bit laborious, but... it was quite easy for Li Shimin's strength.

Chen Zhengtai, who was sitting in the back seat, felt an unusual bump. There was no rubber in Datang now, so he could only use cork. There was nothing wrong with riding a bike, but the riding a bike worked hard.

Of course, this is at least better than running out of breath.

Not long after, we finally arrived at the mailbox.

This postal box is just a tin box with a special mark on it and a small mouth for delivering letters. Li Shimin looked at it for a while before sending the letter in.

Then he looked back at Li Chengqian and said, "That's all?"

Li Chengqian was already catching up with him, sweating profusely, and nodded quickly, "That's all."

Li Shimin asked again: "When can I receive the letter?"

"Soon," said Li Chengqian: "Every time, there will be inspection teams passing by, pick up the letters, and then send them to a special letter processing room, and then sort them out, because they are all in Chang'an and there are many people running errands, so... they will probably receive the letters tomorrow afternoon.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Then I will take a look tomorrow."

Li Shimin thought the letter was quite interesting.

In the past, it took a lot of time to pass messages, but there was nothing wrong with aristocratic families. After all, there were special servants running errands, let alone royal families.

But it is difficult for ordinary people to send letters and receive letters. Generally speaking, at most, they just want to ask someone to send a message, which is a very laborious thing in itself.

Chen Zhengtai said, "Now there are more and more workshops and craftsmen, especially those who leave their hometowns, so the transmission of messages has become very important for ordinary people. Craftsmen cannot have time to meet with relatives and friends at any time, but if they specifically ask for errands, they cannot afford to hire them. With this, it is great, so the delivery of letters will expand in the future, especially in Shuofang and Xining. Most people leave their hometowns, and sometimes they can't even go back to their hometowns all year round. Using this letter can help them solve the pain of longing for love. My son heard that many people now send money to their families, using letters, stuffing IOUs into the mailbox, and in a few days, they can deliver the money to each other. Last month alone, there were more than 300,000 letters. Of course, this is just the beginning, and it is nothing more than ten or a hundred times in the future."

Li Shimin nodded and said only one word: "Interesting."

He then looked at Li Chengqian, showing a little relief, and said, "You can do this, it can be seen that you are willing to work hard. Do it well, I am relieved now."

This is a praise, and Li Chengqian is very happy!

Immediately, Li Shimin returned to the palace.

Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin away, and they felt relieved.

The two looked at each other, and Chen Zhengtai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I thought the prince was doing other things, but his grandfather was in a hurry. It was too late to say hello in advance. Fortunately... His prince is doing serious things. Otherwise, His Majesty must be furious. Now because of Li You's affairs, His Majesty is unstable, so... His Majesty should be careful."

Li Chengqian said in fear: "I don't worry about anything else, I'm worried that I'll even check the money. Fortunately... I finally got my father's kindness."

Both of them were happy and grateful.

But when Li Shimin returned to the palace, he for a moment put Li You's affairs behind him.

He obviously became interested in Li Chengqian's operating model.

He couldn't help but look at the setting sun that was about to fall, and he looked disappointed.

But at this moment, Zhang Qian hurriedly came and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Changsun requested an audience."

"Come?" Li Shimin said in surprise: "It seems that he has received my letter. Calculate it. How many hours have passed since I put the letter into the postbox?"

Zhang Qian said suddenly: "Your Majesty, it takes thirteen hours."

"It's already fast enough." Li Shimin was shocked and immediately said, "Let him come in."

After a while, Changsun Wuji came in panting.

In fact, he received a letter just after the time of duty. At first, the Changsun family didn't care about this letter. To be honest, the Changsun family did not have such a tradition of sending letters. If other people sent the letters, they would often be servants of the Duke and Marquis.

But today a man in green came suddenly, saying that he had a letter and had to hand it over to Changsun Wuji for signing. The disciple was going to drive people away, but the person in charge felt it was a bit unusual, because the postmark was printed on the postmark that the letter was sent from the mailbox of the East Palace.

The hosts of these high-ranking homes may have no idea about this, but the Changsun family's manager is quite familiar with the matter of sending emails, so they did not dare to neglect them, so they quickly submitted the letter to Changsun Wuji.

When Changsun Wuji saw the handwriting on the envelope, he couldn't help but shivered.

Because he knew this running script better than anyone else, the world was unique. When he opened the letter, he really confirmed his thoughts, so he did not dare to delay any longer and hurried into the palace.

Seeing Changsun Wuji's embarrassment, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Changsun Qing's family, when did you receive this letter?"

Changsun Wuji said, "It was half an hour ago, when I just returned to my house."

"I'm asking when it was sent to your house."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "I think I'll come... it'll take more than an hour."

"So..." Li Shimin smiled and said to Zhang Qian beside him: "It seems that it was not thirteen hours, but within twelve hours, he sent the letter."

Zhang Qian smiled awkwardly.

This efficiency... made Li Shimin very satisfied. He nodded and said to Changsun Wuji: "Have you brought the things?"

"Take... I brought it." Changsun Wuji's bitter face: "According to the instructions in His Majesty's letter, I brought the money."

"Take it." Li Shimin stretched out his hand.

Changsun Wuji had to withdraw the IOU from his sleeve, which was a one-time money-lost IOU from Li Shimin obediently, and then said in confusion: "It's just... Your Majesty... I don't know what happened to Your Majesty asks me to borrow this one-time money?"

Li Shimin collected the money, looked at the sky, but said, "It's getting late, you can leave the palace quickly. If it's late, the Tai Chi Gate will be closed."

Changsun Wuji was confused, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to salute and said, "Then... I will say goodbye."

So, he hurried back home again.

Once he returned to the mansion, Changsun Wuji's overall condition was not good.

He quickly called his son Changsun Huan. Now, his eldest son Changsun rushed to Baekje. Among the adult sons, Changsun Huan was the only one.

Looking at the obvious bitter face on Changsun Wuji's face, Changsun Huan asked, "Father, why are you worried about everything?"

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "I want to break my head, but I don't understand what the deep meaning of Your Majesty's move is. He actually personally studied a letter and asked Your Majesty to send it to the palace immediately with the money you always have to do, and it must be immediately not delayed. If you delay, you will be punished. You said that Your Majesty is rich in all over the world, so what should he do to borrow the money you like for your Father? It's really incredible..."

Changsun Huan was also shocked: "It seems that Your Majesty's move must have profound meaning."

"That's right!" Changsun Wuji's best attitude was to figure out his mind. He said worriedly: "But what is this profound meaning? I always borrowed money... Could it be that there is a shortage of money in the palace?"

"But my son heard that there is so much money in the palace now."

Changsun Wuji glared at him: "What do you know? Who would think you have too much money? Do you think you have too much money?"

Changsun Huan was embarrassed for a moment: "So what does your father...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this is your Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji guessed: "Is it possible... His Majesty knows that our Changsun family has made a lot of money by expanding steel recently, so they are worried about it?"

"This...is not impossible, so on the surface I borrowed money for the whole time, but in fact it is..."

"It's so scary!" Changsun Wuji's face was already terrible.

He thought about it for a while and then said with a look of fear: "So, you should not reveal your wealth. You are not afraid of stealing the thief, but you are afraid of thinking about it."

When Changsun Huan heard Changsun Wuji calling the emperor a thief, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Changsun Wuji paced back and forth with concern: "This is called carelessness, which is caused by His Majesty's knock! How much cash is there in the treasury now? Hurry up, find a way to spend it, not to let you spend a lot of money, but to find a way to invest and quickly expand the steel workshop. Keep this money in your hands, and it is uneasy for your father. Also, when you go out, don't praise your wealth, be simpler. Ah... I put away my new court uniform... It's better to wear the old ones in the future, ask someone... to ask someone to apply two patches..."

Changsun Huan was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded: "Father is planning ahead. If this is the case, you will not worry about His Majesty's decision."

"I am not afraid of making decisions for my father. Even if there are really difficulties in the palace, it doesn't matter if I give you tens of millions of yuan. I'm afraid... Your Majesty's holy heart is unpredictable. I don't know how much he wants. From tomorrow on, the cost of the family will be reduced. I just say that Changsun's family has lost all its money and is so poor that he can't get rid of the blame! Oh, yes, find a reason and go to the money house to borrow a loan. You can do this in person, so that you can see it more."

Changsun Huan couldn't help but look at Changsun Wuji with admiration: "My father's move is really too clever."

Changsun Wuji ignored Changsun Huan's flattery, held his hands behind his back, and continued to pace back and forth, saying worriedly: "It's terrible, terrible. His Majesty used to have a bit of true nature, but he didn't expect that since His Majesty followed Chen Zhengtai to invest, he tasted the sweetness and gained benefits, he became more and more greedy and unsatisfied with his desires. If this continues, wouldn't it be that relatives would not recognize him? My Changsun Wuji, who has been in love with him for decades, is still thinking about the wealth of our Changsun family, but people are cold and accompanying you is like a tiger."
