Deputy General Sun grinned, revealing his signature憨厚 smile, but at this moment, this smile looked terrifying in Li Changsheng's eyes.
"Alright, let him start training with everyone from today. It's also a good opportunity to improve his demeanor. After all, he is the crown prince of a country, and he can't be seen as slacking off."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Li Changshengan prepared to leave.
Feng Beichuan followed along, sighing inwardly as he walked, feeling that he had made a wasted trip today.
Just as Li Chang'an was about to mount his horse, he suddenly felt his clothes being tugged.
Turning her head, she saw that Li Changsheng had caught up with her at some point and was tightly clutching her clothes, looking pitiful and abandoned.
"Sister, I want to go back with you..."
Li Changsheng's miserable appearance at this moment was so pitiful that it would make anyone who saw him burst into tears.
For a moment, Li Chang'an's heart wavered, but then she thought that the General's Mansion was really not a suitable place for this child to stay.
Well, when it's time to be ruthless, you have to be ruthless!
Li Chang'an gritted his teeth silently, then put on a cold and hard expression and decisively rejected Li Changsheng's pleading.
"Hey, this kid's pretty strong! Who knows, he might turn out to be a martial arts prodigy..."
At this moment, Deputy General Sun also rushed over and couldn't help but complain when he saw Li Changsheng clinging to his leg.
He had just deliberately held Li Changsheng's hand to prevent the kid from throwing a tantrum and making him unable to move, but he didn't expect the kid to break free with a strong effort.
"Ahhh! My sister, I don't want you to leave, I don't want you to leave..."
Seeing that one method was not working, Li Changsheng immediately changed his approach. He grabbed Li Chang'an's leg and refused to let go, refusing to let her leave no matter what.
At this moment, Li Chang'an truly realized that this kid was indeed quite strong. She felt that she was firmly restrained and could not move at all.
"No, I can only feel at ease if I leave you here!"
As Li Chang'an spoke, he reached out to pry Li Changsheng's hand off, and the two of them, one big and one small, started to wrestle.
Then Deputy General Sun ran over to help. He grabbed Li Changsheng and pulled him backward, finally managing to separate the two of them.
"Follow along and train properly, or you'll regret it!"
Li Chang'an frowned, smoothed out the crumpled hem of his clothes, and then spoke up with another threat.
Li Changsheng immediately burst into tears.
"No, no! Regent, please take me away! Didn't we agree to help each other? Regent, please save me!"
Since it was completely unsuccessful with Li Chang'an, Li Changsheng turned his attention to Feng Beichuan. He used the same trick again, grabbing the other man's calf and pressing his entire weight onto him.
Feng Beichuan's lips twitched involuntarily. He really wanted to grab a rag and stuff it in this kid's mouth!
Unfortunately, I didn't have a rag, but I did have a slap ready.
"Alright, just stay here and behave yourself. We'll definitely come to pick you up later. Chang An has been so busy lately, so having you stay is for your own good!"
Feng Beichuan slapped Li Changsheng on the back of the head, stunning him so much that he forgot to cry.
"Is it Chang'an? Hey, where is he? Chang'an, wait for me..."
Feng Beichuan originally wanted to use this incident to change Li Chang'an's opinion of him, but in the blink of an eye, he found that the person had disappeared, so he quickly mounted his horse and chased after him.
Watching the person walk further and further away, Li Changsheng felt utterly hopeless.
After going around in circles, I've actually come back again!
This is outrageous!
Feng Beichuan followed Li Chang'an all the way to the General's Mansion, where he happened to run into Qin Xiashi, who was bringing over the tidied account books.
"I've found all the problematic accounts and compiled them into this notebook. Actually, most of the accounts still match up; it's just that my memory was a bit messy at the time. As for..."
"As for the actual losses, I will go to the heads of those industries one by one to find out the situation."
Li Chang'an interrupted Qin Xiashi directly and told her his plans without any hesitation.
Qin Xia was well aware that Li Chang'an was going to carry out a major overhaul of the entire General's Mansion, so she didn't dare to say anything more. She simply told her very respectfully that if there was anything she could help with, she should just ask.
Li Chang'an nodded, his expression remaining indifferent, and then instructed the maid to take the organized account books to his study.
Feng Beichuan naturally followed him to the study, and then watched as Li Chang'an picked up the account books and looked through them one by one, occasionally fiddling with the abacus. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "How come so many problematic accounts have appeared in the General's Mansion in the past few years?"
As Feng Beichuan spoke, he leaned closer, but Li Chang'an was focused on his own work and had no time to pay attention to him.
"It seems that leaving it unattended really won't work. Luckily you discovered it early, otherwise this entire General's Mansion would have been hollowed out."
Listening to this person chattering incessantly in his ear, Li Changcong couldn't help but frown in annoyance: "Can you be quiet for a bit? Aren't you tired of talking for so long?"
Seeing the woman's angry face, Feng Beichuan felt a little embarrassed, so he shrugged and stood aside with his mouth shut.
After reviewing the accounts, Li Chang'an took out the contracts that Qin Xia had given him earlier.
Laifu Money Exchange, Hongyan Tower, Xiangming Pavilion...
Feng Beichuan was also looking at the contents of the contracts, pondering as he read, realizing that the General's Mansion had so many large industries under its control.
These industries are all quite well-known in the capital, and in theory, they should not incur losses if they are operating normally.
Someone must have secretly harbored some wicked intentions.
"He's actually the head of the money exchange? How come I've never heard him mention it before?"
Feng Beichuan suddenly reached out and took a contract to look at. When he saw the signature at the bottom, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in slight surprise.
Do you know this person?
Li Chang'an's gaze was immediately drawn to him, so he couldn't help but ask another question.
“I know him, and he and Yiyang Shanren are old friends of many years. By the way, in that case, why don’t you just let Yiyang Shanren handle this matter?”
Reminded by him, Li Chang'an was suddenly delighted. He thought that he had so many talented people under his command who could be put to use. Why not just let them handle the accounts for the industry leaders? This would not only be more efficient but also save him a lot of time.
