Chapter 1895 Shocked Pei Mingli
Li Shen slept until the afternoon, and only woke up when his butt started to hurt.
Then he asked someone to prepare some pain-relieving medicine.
"Your Highness, Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, Mr. Xue, Pei Mingli and others have all arrived and have been waiting in the study for a long time."
Seeing Li Shen wake up, Shitou came over to report.
"Okay, bring the stretcher over." Li Shen ordered.
Originally, today was supposed to be a welcome ceremony for Pei Mingli, which would also make Pei Mingli feel more sense of belonging.
He didn't expect to be beaten up, and the welcoming ceremony could not be held and had to be postponed.
But I still have to introduce him and give Pei Mingli something to do.
Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui and others were drinking tea in the study. They heard that Prince Ji was asleep and it was not convenient to disturb him.
The servants did not tell them that Prince Ji was injured.
So when Li Shen was carried to the study, the four people looked shocked.
Climbing onto the bed, Li Shen adjusted himself to a comfortable position before saying:
"Everyone is here?"
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The four people then stepped forward and saluted.
"Well, everyone, please take a seat. Mingli, you have already met Wang Changshi and Wang Zhanggui. This is Xue Rengui, the Sima of Ji Wang's mansion.
He was mainly responsible for the military affairs of the Prince Ji's Mansion, the guard camp and the defense of the palace.
Rengui, this is the talent I recently recruited, Pei Mingli, who serves as the military advisor of Prince Ji's Palace.
Let’s get to know each other.”
Li Shen first introduced the team members to Pei Mingli.
"Your Highness, Chief Clerk Wang has just introduced them." Xue Rengui saluted.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I already know General Xue." Pei Mingli also nodded.
"Really? That's great. Let's sit down and talk. It's hard for me to raise my head when standing and talking."
After hearing this, several people sat down, and Li Shen continued:
“Mingli, there is another outstanding person in Prince Ji’s mansion, named Di Renjie, but he is currently working for the prince outside and will probably be back soon.
The four of you plus Di Renjie, the five of you are the current top core management of Prince Ji’s Mansion.
As for the shopkeepers and craftsmen below, there are many of them, estimated to be tens of thousands of people. They are the cornerstone of the huge family business of my Ji Wang Mansion.
Including all links from source, production to sales.
For now, you should get familiar with it and follow Wang Hongfu for a while, and then I will give you some things to do."
"Tens of thousands of people?" Pei Mingli was extremely shocked. Isn't Prince Ji's Mansion a little too big?
There are so many people following the Ji Wang Mansion. The tens of thousands of people represent tens of thousands of households, which means that hundreds of thousands of people depend on the Ji Wang Mansion for their livelihood.
Is this a bit too exaggerated?
Moreover, there are more than three giants in Prince Ji’s Mansion. There is another person who has not shown up. Hearing Prince Ji praising him so much, he must be a talented person.
After so many years, the outside world didn't even know that there was such a person in Prince Ji's Mansion. It seems that Prince Ji has hidden this person very well.
In other words, he is not the fourth giant, but the fifth giant.
"Mingli, do you have any objection?" Li Shen asked when he saw Pei Mingli in a daze.
"Ah, Your Majesty, I was just shocked by the scale of Prince Ji's Mansion.
There are tens of thousands of craftsmen in our Prince Ji's Palace. This is beyond my imagination."
Pei Mingli replied in amazement.
"Haha, Brother Pei, the tens of thousands of people the prince mentioned are not just craftsmen, but also include the growers and producers at the source, as well as sales associates from all over the country.
Moreover, these tens of thousands of people are only the fixed number of people in Ji Wang Mansion, and do not include temporary workers working for Ji Wang Mansion.
These laborers are not included. For example, the construction of the cement road from Chang'an to Qinghai Road required more than 400,000 laborers.
You will know this later.”
Before Pei Mingli could finish being shocked, Wang Hongfu said lightly.
"Four hundred thousand people?"
Sure enough, when Pei Mingli heard this number, his heart skipped a beat.
Four hundred thousand people! If they were transformed into an army, it would be enough to cause a rebellion.
The Ji Palace is even more powerful and influential than what is rumored by the outside world.
Li Shen's face was smiling like a flower. He liked to see this kind of naive look.
No wonder so many people like to read exciting stories, it really is exciting.
"Well, this is not a big deal. When you stay here for a long time, you will naturally know these things."
Li Shen smiled and waved his hand, looking nonchalant.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will definitely familiarize myself with the affairs of the palace as soon as possible." Pei Mingli is now even more curious about Prince Ji's Palace.
"Well, that's good, Mingli, the Ji Palace is huge, with many industries and many secrets.
Wang Hongfu will tell you in advance where you can go and where you cannot go.
It’s not that I don’t trust you, but that I treat everyone equally.
It's all for the prosperity of Prince Ji's Mansion. I hope you can understand." Li Shen changed the subject and began to talk about the rules of Prince Ji's Mansion.
"Your Majesty is right. Brother Pei, don't worry. For example, I have never been to a paper mill, and there is also a military camp.
Unless he goes with the prince, Wang has no right to enter.
There are some other places like this, but Shopkeeper Wang can't go there either. He will tell you."
Wang Xuance confirmed this from the side, and he was also afraid that Pei Mingli would be suspicious.
Pei Mingli thought it was normal, just like in the imperial court. As an official of the Ministry of War, it was impossible for him to interfere in other places.
For example, if you ask him to go to the warehouse of the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the workshop of the Ministry of Rites, he will not let you in.
There are secrets everywhere, let alone a wealthy place like Prince Ji's Mansion, which naturally has many secrets.
He believed that Wang Xuance had not lied to him and that he would know everything after a long time.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I think this is as it should be. The Ji Palace is a large family with a great business. Only when everyone performs their duties can everything be in order."
Pei Mingli stood up and saluted, indicating that he fully understood.
"That's good. I was going to hold a banquet for you today, but unfortunately I'm injured. I'll have to wait a few days.
The king will hold a banquet to welcome you in a few days." Li Shen nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji."
"Your Majesty, I don't know how your injury is..." After saying this, Wang Xuance finally had time to show concern.
He was fine yesterday, but he's like this today. How can I not be curious?
"Nothing. I had a fight with Li Zhi and was punished by the prince."
"Fought with the King of Jin?" The four of them were surprised and shocked, especially Pei Mingli.
He didn't know about the feud between Prince Ji's Mansion and Prince Jin's Mansion, so he was even more shocked to hear that Prince Ji and Prince Jin were fighting.
"Your Majesty, what's the reason this time?" Wang Xuance asked. He also wanted to know the inside story to see if it would affect their plan.
"Nothing much, it's just that I nominated Li Zhi to be the chief judge in the court to hear the case we reported."
Li Shen said calmly.
(I feel it this time. I will have a stomachache tomorrow.)
