Chapter 1882 You are the person I trust most
What Pei Mingli said made sense. Not every merchant sells in big cities. Many small merchants will go to county towns or villages to sell.
The things they pulled on their horse-drawn carriages were things that ordinary people used, and they didn't make much money.
Maybe the tolls collected from a trip are more than what they earn.
"Well, let me think about this again." Li Shen had no clue for the moment and could only put it aside for the time being.
Wait until he figures out a solution.
"Mingli, you will first follow Wang Hongfu to assist in the construction of the football field, which is more important at the moment.
There is also information on sales in various industries.
In the future, I intend to let you be responsible for this aspect."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will familiarize myself with it as soon as possible." Pei Mingli accepted the order.
"Your Highness, it has been written." Wang Xuance stood up and handed the memorial to Li Shen for review.
Li Shen took a look, nodded with satisfaction, and handed the memorial to Shi Tou.
Shitou immediately took the memorial to the desk, opened a box, took out the seal of Prince Ji's Mansion and stamped it.
"Xuan Ce, send someone to deliver the memorial to Cuiwei Palace right now, and don't delay Mingli's transfer."
Li Shen ordered.
"Yes." Wang Xuance agreed and then walked out.
"Mingli, you should go too. Go back and pack up. After handing over to the Ministry of War tomorrow, you can come to Prince Ji's Mansion to take up your duties.
From now on, you will be a member of my Ji Wangfu, and I have something to explain to you clearly. "
Li Shen looked at Pei Mingli.
"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
"After entering my Prince Ji's Palace, you will be my Prince Ji's person, and you only need to report to me on everything.
It is only a subordinate relationship with the imperial court, not a direct relationship.
So don’t say what you don’t like, and don’t do what you shouldn’t do. Do you understand?”
Li Shen gave a subtle reminder.
"I understand, Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already entered the Prince Ji's Mansion. From now on, I will only be loyal to His Majesty Prince Ji.
I will never reveal the affairs of Prince Ji's Mansion to anyone. If anyone violates this, His Royal Highness Prince Ji will punish them."
Pei Mingli said seriously that he certainly understood what King Ji meant.
Since the palace is subordinate to the imperial court, the secrets of Prince Ji’s mansion cannot be reported to the imperial court, let alone disclosed to outsiders.
Li Shen nodded:
"It's good that you understand. My Ji Wang Mansion is a large family with many secrets. I don't know how many people are coveting it.
This king hopes that you can be truly loyal to him, and he will never treat you unfairly.
Then you can go back first."
"Yes, then I'll take my leave." After hearing this, Pei Mingli stood up, bowed, and walked out.
Wang Hongfu was the only one left in the study.
"My Lord, do you have anything to tell me?"
Without waiting for Li Shen to speak, Wang Hongfu asked first.
"Old King, I know you are a smart man, and I have seen everything you did just now.
I know that you feel a sense of crisis about Pei Mingli's arrival, and think that I will weaken your power or let Pei Mingli replace you.
Yes or no? "
While petting the cat, Li Shen asked Wang Hongfu calmly.
"I dare not. Pei Mingli is a talented person. The prince must have recruited Pei Mingli to join the palace in order to strengthen the Ji Palace.
I know that I am not as talented and knowledgeable as Pei Mingli, so I..."
"Okay." Li Shen interrupted Wang Hongfu before he could finish.
"You have followed me for so many years, how could I not know what you are thinking?
I left you alone because I wanted to tell you that no one can replace you, Wang Hongfu, in Prince Ji's Mansion.
The reason why I recruited Pei Mingli is so that you can relax, put aside trivial matters and work for me wholeheartedly.
You are the person I trust the most, and Pei Mingli is just a man from the imperial court. How can he compare with you?
Not only you, when you can no longer work in the future, I will also ask you to add Dalang to take over and continue to be my right-hand man.
You and I have been master and servant for more than ten years. You were the first person to follow me and the person I trust the most.
So don't have any grudges, I have already arranged everything."
"Thank you for your trust in me, Your Majesty." Wang Hongfu was deeply moved by Li Shen's words and he knelt down on the ground in front of Li Shen.
Unexpectedly, the Ji Wang Mansion did not want to replace him, but to make him do a better job.
Especially the phrase "the person I trust the most" made Wang Hongfu feel guilty.
I actually made unwarranted assumptions about Prince Ji, which was really the behavior of a servant. Thinking of this, Wang Hongfu fell to the ground and pleaded guilty:
"Your Highness Prince Ji has been so kind to me, but I still made unwarranted assumptions. I am guilty, and I hope Your Highness Prince Ji will punish me."
Looking at Wang Hongfu kneeling on the ground, Li Shen smiled:
"Okay, get up. You and I don't have to be like this, master and servant. You are different from others. You are the only one who truly belongs to Prince Ji's Mansion.
Everyone else belongs to the imperial court, so of course the one I trust the most is you.
Pei Mingli was only recruited to assist you and to be in charge of some business matters of Prince Ji's Mansion.
This way you will have time to concentrate on doing things for me.
But not everything needs to be handed over to him. You still need to handle some secret matters yourself, do you understand?"
"I understand. I will still be in charge of the workshop. Pei Mingli will only be responsible for sales. As for the research institute, I will not let Pei Mingli go there. I will do it myself.
Building roads and football fields allows Pei Mingli to understand and supervise. ”
Wang Hongfu understood what Prince Ji meant and nodded repeatedly, feeling somewhat proud and happy.
It seems that I am still highly valued in front of King Ji.
It is obvious that Prince Ji is on guard against Pei Mingli.
Until now, he was the only one who could go to the workshop of Prince Ji's Mansion, and even Wang Xuance, the chief secretary, could not enter.
This is enough to show King Ji's trust in him.
In fact, Li Shen did this on purpose to keep it secret. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. Apart from himself and Wang Hongfu, only Lu Dingniang from the Prince Ji's Mansion could go to the workshop.
But Lu Dingniang seldom went back, and neither did he. The only one left was Wang Hongfu, who knew all the properties of Prince Ji's Mansion and was the person Li Shen trusted the most.
For Wang Hongfu's safety, Li Shen also specially sent several guards to protect him throughout the day.
"Haha, Old Wang, you are quite smart. I understand everything immediately. Since you know what to do, there is no need for me to say more.
You must let Pei Mingli familiarize himself with the situation as soon as possible. You will still be in charge at ordinary times. If the king asks you to do other things, it would be better for someone to replace you.
You must always remember that you are the person that the king trusts the most. You must have confidence in yourself. The king trusts you the most."
Li Shen smiled, encouraged Wang Hongfu, and kept emphasizing to Wang Hongfu that he was the person he trusted the most.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will make Pei Mingli familiar with the situation as soon as possible and will not delay the work that Your Highness has entrusted to me."
Wang Hongfu was extremely grateful and knelt on the ground to express his loyalty to Li Shen.
He was extremely happy because he was the person King Ji trusted the most.
