Since the Maritime Trade Association does not play such a great role as he imagined, he doesn't have to worry about it, and Li Shimin immediately had a candidate in his heart.

"What do you think, Changsun Chong, the son of Duke Zhao,?" Li Shimin pondered.

He had no choice. Those who were a little older had official positions in the court, so he could only find young noble children.

If you look for young noble children, Changsun Chong is undoubtedly suitable. His background is noble enough. Not only is the Duke of Zhao's Mansion but also the Long family as a backer. More importantly, Changsun Chong is very trusted by him.

For Changsun Chong, this is also a rare experience. It is not impossible to enter the officialdom after getting started in the future.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, I think Changsun Chong is good!"

Although Changsun Chong is smarter than Cheng Yaojin and the others, he is also smarter. Generally speaking, he is still a fool, that is, he is now protected by Changsun Wuji. If it were not protected by Changsun Wuji, Changsun Chong would not have made any name.

"Okay, then I'll talk to the auxiliary machine, he will definitely agree. Changsun Chong will become the vice president in the future. Please give him more advice and assign him if you have any problems." Li Shimin instructed.

"Then I will take my leave." Su Cheng bowed and withdrew from Liangyi Hall.

Li Shimin immediately ordered someone to pass on Changsun Wuji's visit.

After leaving the palace, Su Cheng did not return to the mansion, but left the city and headed straight for the Firearms Prison.

This time, when the fleet was assembled to the Western Regions, the families of various aristocratic families probably would not send out all ships. Even so, with Su Cheng's fleet, the royal fleet and the nobles in the court, there were probably hundreds of ships.

This is definitely a large fleet, so Su Cheng would definitely draw out ten ships to install artillery and convert them into warships.

Therefore, Su Cheng had to immediately send craftsmen from the firearms supervisor to transport artillery, muskets and gunpowder to Haizhou to modify warships.

He had already sent people south, and at this time Liu Xiaochuan and the others should have led the fleet to Haizhou.

Su Cheng also had to select musketeers and artillery soldiers from the Shenji Camp to go to sea with the ship, and he had to set off immediately to Haizhou to adapt to training.

So Su Cheng was very busy and had a lot to do next.

When Zhao Duke’s Mansion, Changsun Wuji returned to his residence and called his son to the study.

"Dad, are you looking for me?" Changsun Chong leaned into the study.

"Sit down, have you heard about the Maritime Trade Association?" Changsun Wuji asked straight to the point.

Changsun Chong nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course I heard that our ship also has to go to sea with Su Cheng's fleet. We are preparing goods recently."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Yes, our Duke Zhao Mansion must join the Maritime Trade Association. Su Cheng is the president of the Maritime Trade Association, but he still lacks two vice presidents."

Changsun Chong was immediately excited when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Dad, do you want to be the vice president?"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help laughing when he heard this, shook his head and said, "As an important official of the court, I have endless political affairs every day. How could I be the vice president of the Maritime Trade Association?"

Changsun Chong was confused and said, "Dad, why did you suddenly mention the vice president?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Today Su Cheng entered the palace and asked His Majesty who would be the vice president. Your Majesty suggested that you be the vice president. Su Cheng agreed happily."

Changsun Chong was stunned at first when he heard this, as if he was wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Then, Changsun Chong jumped up and asked excitedly: "What? Do you want me to be the vice president? Dad, is this true?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty summoned me to say it at noon today. Since Your Majesty said it and Su Cheng agreed, then it must be that this matter has been settled. Are you saying it is true or not?"

Changsun Chong was so excited that he almost didn't dance with his feet and said repeatedly: "That's great, so good, I want to be the vice president! I want to be the vice president of the Maritime Trade Association!"

Seeing his son's excited look, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but frown slightly. Even if he was happy, he wouldn't be so excited, right? He has grown up so old and is still not stable at all!

"Look at your excited look? You are not steady at all. How do you teach you on weekdays!" Changsun Wuji frowned and taught a lesson.

After hearing this, Changsun Chong took a deep breath to try to calm his inner excitement, but he felt that the old man was too strict.

This is the vice president of the Trade Association. Who suddenly heard that he suddenly became the vice president of the Trade Association and danced without excitement?

Don’t all the noble families of the Tang Dynasty have to join the Maritime Trade Association? So many families have joined the Maritime Trade Association. What does it mean to be the vice president of the Maritime Trade Association?

This means that in the future, those noble families and aristocratic families will have to act according to their expressions!

This is simply more satisfying than being a minister in the court!

"Dad, am I excited for our family? I became the vice president of the Maritime Trade Association, and then our mansion will be covered with gold from now on!" Changsun Chong said excitedly.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "So, what do you want to do?"

Changsun Chong smiled and said, "Of course we are taking the opportunity to strengthen our fleet. We have a lot of money on the sea. As long as we can strengthen our fleet, we can bring in a sea of ​​gold and silver!"

Changsun Wuji asked with a smile: "How do you plan to strengthen the fleet?"

Changsun Chong thought to himself, "Although Su Cheng is the president, he is in charge of so many things and is very busy. How could he do it himself? So of course, the association's affairs fell on me. By the way, Dad, who is the other vice president?"

After being excited for a while, Changsun Chong suddenly remembered that there was another vice president, and who was the other vice president?

Changsun Wuji said speechlessly: "I finally remember that there is another vice president?"

Changsun Chong quickly smiled and said, "Dad, who is it? No one's family background is comparable to me. I am the legitimate son of the Duke's Mansion, and my aunt is the Empress!"

"Can't it be that big fool Cheng Chumo? If it were that big fool Cheng Chumo, I could play with him!"

Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly and said, "It's the eldest lady of Wang in Taiyuan, Wang Shengnan."

Changsun Chong was stunned at first when he heard this, and then suddenly became happy.

He never expected that the other vice president would be a woman!

The eldest lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan? Wang Shengnan?

He knew that the eldest lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and even met him. He also knew that the eldest lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan was smart, but so what?

What's the use of a woman no matter how smart she is? No matter how smart she is, she can only use it to take care of her husband and children, and can she manage such a big business as a trade association?

How is this possible?

Therefore, the eldest lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan is just a decoration, and he will take care of the Maritime Trade Association in the future!
