Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 63 Is it appropriate to have too few crown princesses?
After leaving Yichun Palace, Li Chengqian rushed to Chongwenguan without stopping.

The Eastern Palace was quite large. When Li Chengqian walked from Yichun Palace to Chongwenguan, the sky had already become completely dark.

From afar, the entire Chongwen Hall was brightly lit, and bursts of clear reading sounds reached my ears.

Walking into the palace, I saw thousands of students, both male and female, sitting in neat rows of chairs. Most of these students came from poor families, some were orphans, and many were children of bad people.

This was Li Chengqian's reward for their hard work. Today, the students of Chongwenguan are not only responsible for printing movable type printing molds, but also for educating others.

Li Chengqian stood quietly in front of the window, waiting patiently.

Wu Xing and Lin Zhi also stood on both sides of him like shadows. Even though they were in the East Palace, they still maintained the alertness of personal guards.

At this moment, their faces showed deep gratitude because their children were also among these students.

"There is no danger in the East Palace. You can go back and rest first." After Li Chengqian walked out of Chongwenguan, he waved his hand and asked the two to leave.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After the two men bowed and left, a few more people came out.

"Your Highness is back. I will ask Huan'er to prepare the meal." Concubine Su said gently, and at the same time, she and little Li Xiang stood up from the house to greet Li Chengqian.

"Father, you're back!" Little Li Xiang ran over happily, held Li Chengqian's hand affectionately, his eyes full of joy.

Looking at the beauty and the lovely son in front of him, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what more could he ask for? He raised his hand and stroked Li Xiang's little head.
"Xiang'er, come here, Aye, give me a hug!"

Li Chengqian held Li Xiang on his lap and sat him down, with a doting smile on his face. Although this was just a fake son, he also liked this little guy very much.

"Your Highness, this is your favorite sashimi!"

Su Fei skillfully picked up a piece of sashimi and gently placed it in Li Chengqian's bowl. She knew that Li Chengqian loved to eat this kind of fresh and delicious food, so she would prepare it specially for him every time.

Li Chengqian chewed and swallowed the delicious sashimi, then turned to look at Concubine Su. Seeing that she seemed to have something to say but was hesitant, he asked, "Does the princess have anything to say?"

His tone was gentle and his eyes were full of love.

Concubine Su said sternly: "The Crown Prince is already this old, it's time for him to take in some concubines to strengthen the Eastern Palace."

She had mentioned it a few years ago, but Li Chengqian seemed to be very disgusted and scolded her. After that, he never favored her again.

The prince has changed drastically in recent times, so she dared to say this, and in that aspect, she seemed to be unable to withstand the firepower.

Other princes have three wives and four concubines, but he, a prince, only has one or two concubines. Is that appropriate?

It is not appropriate, but as the mistress of the Eastern Palace, Concubine Su must of course consider this aspect, which is also one of her responsibilities.

"If Your Highness has no objection, I will take care of it for Your Highness."

Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't speak, Concubine Su smiled and said.

Li Chengqian just smiled bitterly and ate the sashimi, which was considered as his agreement.

There is no need to pretend to be a gentleman when it comes to such a good thing.

Three wives and four concubines, and three thousand beauties in the harem.

Nine out of ten men would like to keep eunuchs like this.

……

The next morning, in the palace, Li Chengqian was dancing lightly with a sword in his hand. Although he did not seek to go into battle and kill the enemy, it was still necessary for him to exercise and keep fit.

After Li Chengqian worked up a sweat from dancing, he stopped and wiped off the sweat with a woolen cloth.

"Your Highness, this is medicine!"

A maid brought a bowl of hot medicine. Li Chengqian learned how to keep healthy at a young age.

This is also because he benefited from the health-preserving influence of Sun Simiao and Meng Shen. He didn't ask to live to be 100 years old like them, but he had to live to 70. Otherwise, with Li Chengqian's original body, he would not live past 40 unless he died of exhaustion on the road.

Li Chengqian picked up the medicine soup and swallowed it in one breath, frowning slightly, it was very bitter.

The bitter taste of good medicine is good for disease.

After persisting for a few months, Li Chengqian can already clearly feel that his body is getting stronger.

From ten minutes to fifteen minutes.

After morning exercises, Li Chengqian left the Eastern Palace again. He was the crown prince regent and had many personal and official matters to attend to.

This was also his first time here since he established the Royal Cement Department.

The entire cement department covers an area of ​​100 hectares. Of course, the cement department is not that big, but in order to keep other secrets, the area is divided into such a large area.

There are Yulin troops stationed outside, just like the imperial palace.

This was Li Chengqian's main source of income. By building the Temple of Martial Arts, the Cement Department earned 100,000 taels of silver. This was just the beginning. If there were any major projects in the Tang Dynasty in the future, they would still have to buy cement from him.

Li Chengqian has the money to maintain the operation of the Bad Guys. Now most of the people in the Cement Department are the family members of the Bad Guys.

In addition to providing housing for their families, you also have to pay them wages, otherwise no one would be willing to work for you for free.

For the bad guys at the end, loyalty is not that important, it's the bottom line.

"Your Highness, please come in quickly!"

Shen Lin, the old blacksmith, now the head of the cement department, hurried over to greet him.

"I won't go in. I'll just take a look!"

Due to the lack of advanced dust removal equipment, the entire cement department was covered in gray.

"Remember to have everyone wear masks!" Li Chengqian reminded. If too much dust is inhaled, one will get seriously ill.

"Always remember, everyone here will obey the arrangements of the prince." Shen Lin nodded repeatedly.

"Also, keep a good register and let anyone who has worked here for five years quit."

When Li Chengqian said this, everyone around him was a little surprised and didn't know why he did this.

These people are all relatives of the Outlaws. Even if they are not, they are still citizens of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian does not want to let them die in these pollutions for the sake of profit.

"Okay! I'll definitely register it!"

Although they didn't understand, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had said so, they would naturally do as he said.

The prince's orders did not allow people like them to question them.

"The flying dust here is too big. You should find a way to modify it, otherwise it will cause great harm to the human body."

Li Chengqian said with a frown.

He knew that this dust was extremely harmful to the human body and if inhaled into the lungs for a long time, it could cause serious diseases such as silicosis.

But he only had some theoretical knowledge in his mind and was unable to translate it into practical operations.

For example, magnetic fields can generate electricity. You can wind a coil around it, put it in water, and generate voltage.

However, these theories are very difficult to implement in reality.

After making sure that his biggest source of income was secure, Li Chengqian left.

He was not sure when he would go with the army.
