Li Chuan bargained with Li Shimin, and seeing that the raw materials were really insufficient, Li Shimin finally relented and asked Li Chuan to send two barrels of oil into the palace every month.

As for the rest, he had to build his own oil mill, and the oil press had to be built by himself, and if there was a better improved version, he had to support Li Chuan free of charge.

When Li Chuan left, Li Shimin was wondering, did he lose this business? !

But thinking about the oil extraction technology, Li Shimin firmly believes that he still earns it, after all, without Li Chuan's contribution, he can't squeeze oil.

Immediately afterwards, he got another piece of good news, the glass workshop had finally made transparent plate glass, and when the weather warmed up, all the palaces in the palace could be replaced with glass windows.

Glass, what a great invention!

Li Shimin looked at the white outside through the glass window, in just one year, everything around him was getting better, and he believed that Datang would be the same, slowly getting better.

As Li Shimin thinks, Datang is indeed getting better, although it is very slow, and the changes are also integrated into life, and if you don't pay special attention, you will ignore it directly, and then it will be a long time before you think about it, eh? Doesn't that seem like that in the past?

If you look back, you will see that life and the world have changed.

And this change made Li Chuan feel very clearly.

In the early spring of March, when he was planning to take the students out for an outing, good news came from the Eastern Turks, he grabbed Jieli and was on his way back to the Tang Dynasty, and the Eastern Turks were on the way back to the Tang Dynasty.

The following is the question of how to deal with it, if it is according to the practice of other dynasties in the past, that is, to collect troops and return to the dynasty, and then celebrate, and when the grassland regains strength, the two countries will continue to fight.

But the Tang monarchs and ministers who were brainwashed by Li Chuan are now like evil wolves, and their eyes are green.

has already been defeated, and they do not directly occupy and expand the territory of Datang, they all feel sorry for their hard work.

As soon as Li Chuan learned the news, he entered the palace, not for anything else, but for the beef he loved to eat.

Hurry up and raise cattle, he hasn't eaten beef a few times since he came to Datang, and those few times he bought it with live broadcast coins.

It's pitiful to this point, and if he doesn't want to find a way to solve it, Li Chuan feels that he can do something about falling to death and then applying to eat meat.

It's just that cattle are the livestock that the people of Datang rely on the most after all, and the cultivated land depends on it, Li Chuan has been ready to move countless times, and he has endured it, not that he feels that the people of Datang are too hard.

So let's raise cattle, large tracts of raising, and sheep, don't you see that their wool is not enough?!

Although the Tang nobles really don't like clothes made of wool very much, it's not because they don't handle it well enough, it's a bit prickly, who can like it.

When the technology improves, they will know how good the sweater is.

Li Shimin is being quarreled by a group of ministers, nothing else, they have the same opinion on occupying the grassland, but then there are disagreements, such as where to build a city, or let the grassland people manage the grassland people? Or just build a few fortresses, watch over the steppes, and suppress them before they unite and become strong?!

In short, Li Shimin has never felt that his ministers have such big brains.

There is also a person who even said that there is no need to build cities and fortresses, but only need to send some gentlemen over to educate the steppe people to let him accept knowledge and become a civilized person, and there will be no war in the future.

Everyone looked at him speechlessly, and then ignored the sour man together.

When Li Chuan arrived, it was the time when they quarreled the most.

After being reported, these people just glanced at Li Chuan, and then sprayed foaming stars.

Li Chuan first gave Li Shimin a salute, and then glanced around the audience, only to see several important ministers sitting steadily, and had not yet expressed their opinions, until other officials were fighting for red faces.

Looking at Li Shimin's unbearable expression again, Li Chuan was puzzled, obviously he didn't like to listen to this, but why did Li Shimin have to find so many ministers?

Can't you just call a few important ministers who have weight to speak?!

Li Shimin beckoned, called Li Chuan closer, and asked, "What do you want to say here?" ”

"Well, let's talk about raising cattle and sheep." Li Chuan went straight to the point.

Li Shimin looked at him and was speechless, now all the courtiers are concerned about what to do with this land, but he has already thought of cattle and sheep.

Is this the power of foodies?!

Li Shimin took a deep breath, pointed to the ministers who were arguing below, and asked, "Which of them do you think has a better suggestion?" ”

Li Chuan listened very carefully, and then looked at Li Shimin puzzled, "Does this still need to be discussed?" Since the grassland has become a part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, what should be done, it is just that the land is cultivated elsewhere, and the grassland only raises cattle and sheep, is there any difference other than that? ”

Li Shimin fell into deep thought, yes, the grassland is already in the Tang Dynasty, so is there any difference from other places? !

There must be none, it's all Datang's territory, and you can configure it how you want.

Li Chuan was very puzzled, so he said two words, why was he driven out? hasn't bought a piece of land with Li Shimin and plans to raise cattle, what if he can't buy it if he is preempted?

Somewhat worried, Li Chuan turned his feet around and went to Yiqiu Palace.

Li Chengqian is in class at this time, he has classes every day, and rarely has time to rest, but fortunately, he is used to it.

Sometimes Li Chengqian also wonders, if such a life is allowed to live for forty years, will he be crazy? The answer is, it won't take forty years, and in twenty years he'll be crazy.

If Li Chuan knew that he was thinking like this, he would feel that Li Chengqian had a very deep understanding of himself, and he had really been the prince for almost 20 years before he became crazy.

In the end, he finally killed himself.

During recess, Li Chengqian looked at Li Chuan a little helplessly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

This guy is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, he is used to it.

"Something about the prairie." Li Chuan touched his nose and felt that he was a little sorry for Li Chengqian, so he came to him when he was in trouble, but he always couldn't think of it when he had benefits, and he was a little too unconscionable.

Okay, let's wait until we get back and think about sending something.

"Prairie? Do you want to be an official over there? Li Chengqian frowned, he knew that the matter of the grassland had been discussed recently, but most of the people were worried about the official position over there.

"Being an official? I'm not going. "Freezing to death, it's inconvenient enough to say that Datang's life is inconvenient, and finally his two sets of houses are cleaned up, and he still has to go to a new place where there is nothing and start again? How sick is he?!

"I don't think you're going, after all, you're quite busy." Li Chengqian also felt that he had thought badly, Li Chuan was now working in Sinong Temple, and he still had to teach, so he had almost no free time, how could he go to the grassland.

"Well, I just want to get a place to raise cattle and sheep." Li Chuan's purpose is fairly simple.

"That's right." Li Chengqian touched his chin and said, "Didn't you mention it to your father?" ”

Li Chuan spread his hands helplessly, "I went to Chongwen Hall just now, but I only said two words, and before I got to the point, I was kicked out." ”

Li Chengqian couldn't hold back his desire to laugh, coughed dryly twice, and then held back his laughter and analyzed: "It should be that my father wants to talk to the ministers about business." ”

Li Chuan looked at him expressionlessly.

"Ahem, that, probably because my father thinks that you are off topic in the meeting?" Li Chengqian's eyes flickered, Li Chuan could always turn the topic away without warning, it was originally to study the problem of the grassland, but he would definitely be able to turn to other aspects.

For example, sweaters, or further garment-making technology, or directly turning to shipbuilding and going to sea, maybe even mentioning the navy.

It's not the first time anyway!

"Can you blame me then?" Li Chuan felt a little wronged.

Obviously, they threw one question after another, and then he answered, so he was off-topic and blamed him?!

"Ahem, long live understanding?!" Li Chengqian didn't know what to say, anyway, after getting along for so long, he had also seen Li Chuan's magic.

He just has the ability to deviate from a lot of serious things.

"Anyway, remember to mention it for me." Li Chuan thought for a while and added, "I'll give the money." ”

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, "Give money?" You know that my father is not short of money now. ”

Selling glass products and mirrors are selling like crazy, how can you still be short of money?

Now the household officials in charge of the state treasury want to rob Li Shimin's small treasury, and it is conceivable how rich he is.

"One yard is one yard, how can you buy land without giving money? Don't tell me that Your Majesty wants to reward people with such a large area of grassland, right? Li Chuan was shocked, no, that's a loss.

Li Chengqian opened his mouth and didn't say anything, he really didn't know how his father would arrange the grassland, if it was occupied by the family, what would the people do?!

Now that the land is very insufficient, it is difficult to have an extra grassland, and he still thinks that he can arrange more people.

Obviously, Li Chengqian and Li Shimin's thinking is not on the same brain circuit.

"This, I'll ask my father."

"That's okay, you just remember, if you want to sell it anyway, remember to keep a copy for me, even if you don't sell it, it's just a lease, you have to keep a copy for me." Li Chuan reminded him again, then turned around and left.

Li Chengqian thinks that Li Chuan's proposal is very good, the lease is good, and the land can be leased out for ten years, and it can be recovered in ten years, isn't it very good? !

At lunchtime, Li Chengqian went to find Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at his son, who seemed to have matured a lot in front of him, sighed deeply in his heart, and asked: "Then when the ten years expire, what if they don't return the land?" Send troops to drive people out? Or let them continue to pay rent? ”

Li Chengqian thought about it and said uncertainly: "Pay, pay the rent?" ”

It is definitely not possible to send troops to drive people out, those who can afford to rent the grassland must have a rich family background, and those who are not powerful enough will not be able to grab the quota.

So, why does he feel like he's losing money by doing this?!

"So how much are you going to charge for rent? What would you do if they cried that the poor grassland had been stricken and could not pay the rent for the time being, and asked you to have a few more days of grace? Li Shimin then asked.

Li Chengqian: "......" Can he choose to copy those people's? !

People who can grab a quota and can afford to rent land are still crying poor?!

Li Shimin patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, but he didn't embarrass him too much, and said: "The idea of selling land is still good, but leasing is definitely not good." ”

"However, the grassland can only be grazed and not cultivated, so we have to talk about this first." Li Shimin thought about it again when he said this: "In fact, as long as you are not stupid, you will definitely not open up the grassland and cultivate it, and you will make more money raising horses." ”

Li Chengqian found that his father's brain circuits were also different from Li Chuan's, so what was the purpose of raising horses? For the sake of war, this is the ambition of a generation of emperors, conquering the Quartet and expanding the territory!

And what about Li Chuan? He wanted to raise cattle and sheep, and with his understanding of Li Chuan, he definitely did not raise cattle for ploughing, but for food.

Scold! He knew it!

Anyway, when the meaning was reached, Li Chengqian went back, and as for what he learned from Li Shimin, he still had to think about it.

Li Chuan waited and waited, but there was no news.

Anyway, the army didn't come back and was still stationed on the grassland, so Datang had time to discuss it slowly.

It's the Si Nong Temple, it's a little busy.

In March, Chang'an was still a little cold, and the land could not be turned over, but the south could already start farming.

The good seeds that Li Shimin took from Li Chuan had been sent to Cheng Yanjin, who was trapped on the island.

Let him try to plant, and then protect the yield and the grain, which are to be used as grain.

Cheng Biting Jin was so angry that he jumped to his feet, originally he thought that there would be no war in the past two years, so it would be good to come out and plant land for two years and collect two islands back.

But who knew that the war broke out so suddenly, and the Liang division was cleaned up, and in a blink of an eye, even Jieli was cleaned up.

He didn't catch up with anything! As a general, is there anything more aggrieved than this?!

But it was useless for him to jump his feet, Li Shimin asked him to farm here, so he could only farm obediently.

It's just that in addition to farming, he didn't forget to train the army, and he drilled into the mountains when he had nothing to do, but he just drilled very hard.

After all, the mountains on the island are still different from the north, not to mention anything else, there are a lot of poisonous animals and plants, and one will be hit if you are not careful, and they don't have too clever doctors, so almost every time you enter the mountains, there will be casualties.

Cheng Yanjin didn't want to do this, but he had no choice but to write an excerpt and ask Li Shimin for a doctor.

He has his own careful thoughts, since the Eastern Turks have been solved, maybe the next step, the Tang Dynasty will focus on the south, and the dense forests in the south are the most terrifying, and now on the island, it is just by the way to train troops.

If he really had a chance, he wouldn't have grabbed it.

As the days passed, Jieli was transported to the capital.

On this day, it was simply empty alleys, well, everyone was blocked on Suzaku Street, just waiting to see this Turkic khan.

The Khan in the Turks is equivalent to the emperor in the Tang Dynasty, although the status is actually poor, but the common people understand it this way.

An 'emperor' who was transported into Beijing in a prison cart was enough for these people to spend a month in the mountains after tea and dinner.

By the way, you can also be proud of Datang, look, our Datang is such a cow.

The barbarians on the steppe have bullied other dynasties enough, let's not say that we will take it!
