"As it should be, I'm not sure. ”

After Li Shimin came back to his senses, he snatched the holy decree back into his hands and looked at the follow-up content.

The reward of the Son of Heaven in the goods is also extremely heavy, in addition to a mansion located in the eastern capital, 30,000 taels of gold, there are three sweat and blood dragon horses raised in the imperial garden, and a number of weapons made by the military supervision system, Li Shimin can also be in the treasury of the Weiwei Temple, select four handsome ink armors, ten pieces of riding armor, which is worth millions of yuan.

Then there are four granges, a total of 1,900 hectares, and the scale is very large, and the price is worth 10,000 gold in peacetime - but this is all false.

Two of them are located in Shandong, one in Hebei and one in Shanxi. Recently, a group of thieves in the world have risen up, attacking cities and trapping land, causing chaos in all directions. Many local powerful landlords have suffered as a result, and their families have been ruined and people have perished. After the thieves left, some of the ownerless land left behind by these people was privately swallowed by local officials and generals, and part of it fell into the imperial court.

But that place in Shandong has already become like that, where are there still people who have the heart to farm? Even if Li Shimin hires enough people there, he will not be able to support the situation. When the thieves arrive, all the harvest in the grange will go to someone else.

Therefore, among these three granges, only the one with a scale of 600 hectares in Shanxi is worth his careful management.

Nowadays, although there are frequent chaos in Jindi, the situation is relatively good. In the past, after the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, the Zhou Dynasty gave a large amount of Shanxi fertile land to the soldiers and meritorious soldiers from Guanxi in order to reward the merits of the soldiers. Therefore, the people over there are fierce, and the government does not dare to push too much.

Therefore, in Shanxi, although there are many thieves who cause trouble, it has not yet become a climate. The overall environment is even better than Henan.

In addition, he can also shield the two clansmen, and enter the forbidden army as a 'reserve'.

Li Shimin thought to himself that this was really cheap Li Yuanji's kid, who had always been unhappy with his brother's nose and eyes, which made him unhappy for a long time. As a result, in the end, he also won a career for this guy.

Of course, compared to the two positions of General Embroidered Clothes and General Naobed, the rewards behind are actually insignificant, and can only be regarded as icing on the cake.

"Those important ministers of the court, didn't they say anything?"

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, looking very puzzled: "If it's just the embroidered clothes and the general of Zhiyue, it's nothing." But now, you're still preparing for a straight fast, Captain Wu Meng, is this appropriate?"

The embroidered clothes will have the authority to detect lawlessness inside and outside the court, and the general will have the right to face the saint without passing through - if Li Shimin really does not need to be subject to the embroidery ambassador, then this is simply a small embroidery ambassador.

In comparison, the battalion of embroidered clothes and guards led by Li Shimin is nothing. Although there are at least thirty or more fifth-rank guards in this battalion, and about five third-rank guards-

Judging by their expressions, they probably wanted to persuade His Majesty to withdraw this edict, but they didn't speak. ”

Li Shimin stroked the holy decree in his hand with his hand, his heart was still agitated, and he couldn't help himself: "I guess it's a bad time now, and they don't want to take the risk of unsuccessful advice." And whether it is the embroidered general or the general of the straight bed, it is an inner court position. And His Majesty has always been arbitrary, and they are not easy to beak. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "I was also about to resign from these two offices at that time, but Your Majesty has already made up his mind, and his words are very strong. ”

Li Shimin guessed that this should be related to the matter that the Son of Heaven wanted to entrust to him, and most of the two functions given to him today were to facilitate his actions in the future.

"So you had to answer at the time?"

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji had already figured out the joints, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "I really don't know if this is a good thing for you." ”

Li Shimin thought to himself that this was of course a great thing, and even something he dreamed of. It can be said that I want to fall asleep and come to the pillow.

With the name of the embroidered general, whether he is targeting the Duke of Chu or the Demon Dragon Babu, he can use the power of the government to act to a certain extent, which is much more convenient than before.

For example, in the human trafficking case, there was no need for him to risk using the Divine Blood to set up an ambush and attack after that, he could directly take a battalion of embroidered guards under his command to board the ship and search - if he could have enough evidence in advance, he could even mobilize the surrounding garrisons.

And the position of General Naoto is even more useful. This is the real Son of Heaven's close ministers, even Su Wei, Yu Shiji and other five-level ministers cannot be ignored. After all, his identity can be said in front of His Majesty at any time.

It is conceivable that in the future, even if he is in the court, he will be able to gain a certain amount of influence.

This is more of a talisman, and any force and any force after that need to think twice before launching any action against him.

After all, to a certain extent, the personal safety of him, the general who sleeps directly, is also related to the safety of His Majesty.

"Of course that's a great thing!"

With these words, Zhang Yurou's figure walked in gracefully from outside the tent: "At least in terms of private salt business, we don't have to worry about it anymore, and we can even expand it by eight to ten times on the basis of today." With Erro's current authority, he only needs a few letters to get those officials in Kansai to cooperate, and even if it is not good, he needs to turn a blind eye. The local tycoons don't have to worry, they don't have time to tie the knots now. ”

After the eldest grandson Wuji saw this woman, he closed his mouth with a complicated expression and looked away. He knew that Qinglong Villa, which was behind Zhang Yurou, was partnering with Li Shimin to do a private salt business. The scale is still very large, with at least a million runs a month.

But this woman is also his little sister's competitor.

On the one hand, the eldest grandson Wuji thinks that it is normal for a man to run a business, and on the other hand, he does not want to see Li Shimin and Zhang Yurou, because of the closer relationship between this business. He didn't know what kind of attitude he should take to face Zhang Yurou, so he simply ignored it.

Li Shimin shook his head slightly, and said disapprehantly: "Where is it so simple as you say?"

Zhang Yurou is actually right, now as long as he wants, their private salt business in Kansai can easily expand by eight to ten times. If you are a little more greedy, you can even swallow the entire Kansai region, at least one-fifth of the share of private salt.

But he wasn't going to do that, and his power shouldn't be so abused. This will also make his weight in the eyes of the Son of Heaven drop sharply and lose his chances of victory.

You can't think that you are secretly selling illicit salt, and the court knows nothing about it. Those imperial historians are not dry food, and the power of the embroidered guards in Kansai is also very strong, and it is impossible to be unaware.

Li Shimin is very situation, he knows that even if he can persuade his colleagues in Xiuyiwei to help him cover up, and then use his authority and holy family to settle the Yushitai and Silitai, but those behind the scenes whose interests have been damaged because of him will never give up.

These people may not be able to shake him for a while, but Li Shimin does not dare to say that he can always maintain the immortality of the Holy Family.

Making enemies for some money is undoubtedly an act that outweighs the losses.

In this regard, Yuwenshu can be his example, this general is known for his greed, and the bribes he accepts in a year alone amount to tens of millions of yuan, but Yuwenshu has always been very measured, and he never touches things that should not be touched. Therefore, even if the Son of Heaven knows that Yuwenshu's annual income is very high, he still believes it.

Therefore, Li Shimin's plan is to stop after expanding it by three to five times on the basis of the current one. This allows him to reap a regular income every year without getting bogged down in the quagmire.

An underworld tyrant like Xue Ju and Li Rail, where is it easy to provoke?

However, his current situation has indeed improved significantly. Internally, you can use the power of the Son of Heaven, and externally, you can take advantage of the Turkic momentum, and you can't do private salt, but there is no need to be polite to other legal businesses.

For example, tea horses - grassland people are limited to the environment, and they eat meat all year round, and there are few vegetables and fruits. In order to consume food and nourish the stomach, the amount of tea consumed every year can be described as heavenly. As for buying war horses from the grassland, it was a business encouraged by the imperial court.

In the past, Li Shimin didn't dare to think about it, just because every year all the tea and horse trading shares were fixed, and they were divided by all the forces of the Great Sui.

But now, he felt that he could reach out and give it a try, and he no longer had to limit himself to cooperation with the two Turkic princes.

"It's just talking, if you really want to do this, that guy Xue Ju will probably go crazy. On the Qinghai side, there is not enough supply for the time being. ”

Zhang Yurou said as she walked closer and looked at Li Shimin carefully: "It seems to be okay, at least you didn't faint this time, and you didn't have missing arms or legs, so you can continue to die like this in the future." I really want to find someone to gamble on now, what is the probability that Sister Unsullied will become a widow before she passes the door?"

"Presumptuous!"

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly glared at Zhang Yurou angrily, thinking to himself what this stinky girl was talking about? This is cursing his sister and sister-in-law?

He instinctively wanted to scold, but he hesitated. Eldest Sun Wuji felt that what the latter said was not unreasonable, and it could even be said that this woman was expressing his worries.

Like Li Shimin, every time he encounters a war, he doesn't care about his life at all, Guanyin is really a widow.

Although the high-ranking official Houlu is important, if he doesn't even have his life, what is the use of earning it?

Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips slightly, and he immediately tried to change the topic, "Yurou, I don't know who is behind you?"

He had noticed before that behind Zhang Yurou, there was always a figure shrouded in black robes that continued to be deep.

Because of the cover of the cloak, Li Shimin couldn't see this person's face clearly, but when the latter approached, he inexplicably felt a sense of danger.
