It's hard to be a big brother, and it's even harder to be a good big brother.

Li Chengqian, who finally let Li Tai and Li Ke find their own things to do, and did not dangle in front of them, is now surrounded by three more.

Li Lizhen and Yu Zhang are both very curious about the powerful prince brother, Li Liqin is better, and can hold his brother's sleeve openly. She wanted a beautiful hairpin, but the little girl who didn't reach it couldn't use it.

Li Lizhen still didn't give up, and talked about Li Chengqian's loan to Li Ke, saying that he didn't care about his sister.

In desperation, he could only ask the eldest grandson for help with his eyes, but the eldest grandson also showed an expression of helplessness.

As the eldest daughter, Li Lizhen has been spoiled by her eldest grandson and Li Shimin since she was a child.

"Lizhi, you are still young, you can't wear a hairpin, this is the rule, a good boy should abide by the rules. Is this good, when you grow up, no matter what kind of hairpin you want, my brother will give it to you. If you can't see it on the market, my brother will draw the picture himself and let the general be the supervising producer, okay? ”

It's not just a monkey's shortcoming, it's also human's.

After comparing getting a hairpin now and asking for it casually in the future, Li Lizhi naturally chose the latter happily.

Yu Zhang is more outward, obviously only five years old, but he already knows what his status is in the harem. Li Lizhi can grab the prince's sleeve and be coquettish, she knows that she does not have this qualification, so she can only hug Li Zhi with an envious look and prevent him from touching the embroidered bandage of the queen mother.

Seeing the prince's brother coming over, she consciously handed over Li Zhi and stood aside.

Li Chengqian grabbed the active Li Zhi, but did not leave, but reached out and rubbed Yuzhang's head: "When you grow up, you can also ask your brother." ”

It may be the first time that he has been touched by his brother, and even if Yu Zhang is precocious, he can't help but show a smile.

The environment in the palace is actually not as good as imagined, and it is easy to develop Lin Daiyu's character by living in cringe all day long. Yu Zhang's mother died early, and she did not live long. As a result, Li Shimin was very sad, and he wore mourning clothes to the court for several days, which made the ministers keep running in their hearts.

I don't know what the result of the discussion between the three of the monarchs and ministers was, but it seems to be happy anyway. Tang Jian and Lu Kuan left the Liangyi Hall with a smile, while Li Shimin returned to the back of the table and continued to deal with government affairs.

After opening a fold, Li Shimin smiled and beckoned to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, come here." ”

Seeing that the eldest grandson's eyes were full of smiles, Li Chengqian said goodbye to his younger siblings who were playing, walked to the side of the case and sat down, not kneeling, but spreading his long legs and leaning on the table.

If there is a minister here, he will definitely impeach the prince for being rude, but this is the Liangyi Palace, after looking at Li Chengqian's indecent posture, Li Shimin not only did not get angry, but still smiled and pushed the song over.

"Look at this recital, you have been watching politics in the court for some time, tell me your opinion."

This twist and turn was made by Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng felt that it was inappropriate for Datang to put most of the tax subject on the people. The commercial tax is one of the twelve taxes, or the tax in kind, which is not appropriate, and the commercial tax should be increased. Only in this way can the scale of businessmen be suppressed, lest more people see money and embark on the road of no return.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, but the population is too small, and there is a lot of land in the previous dynasties, and no one even cultivates it. This is not right, and the merchants should be forced to go back to farming.

The old guy's recital, Li Chengqian watched it twice, and then he dared to be sure that this was a precursor to his desire to attack Xungui. Although the literal meaning is for the people, and it is true, it can't hide the noose hidden between the lines.

This bastard is probably aimed at the previous policy of opening the court to the nobles to do business, and wants to rob the rich and help the poor!

Seeing that the prince was thoughtful, Li Shimin didn't bother, and after taking this time to deal with a note, he asked, "How is it, what do you think?" Tell me, if it were you, how would you approve it? ”

Pushing the recital in front of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian said: "If it is a son, I will definitely reject his suggestion." The commercial tax is going to change, but not now. ”

"Oh? Reconciliation? ”

Li Shimin really wanted to see what the prince thought about this issue, it seemed that he was not afraid that the East Palace's industry would be affected, but for some other reason.

When it comes to governing the country and the people, Li Shimin will never ask Li Chengqian's opinion, but when it comes to business, it is different. Li Shimin admires his son's ability to make Donggong a rich man in a few years.

Kneeling down honestly, Li Chengqian said: "Father, Emperor and Sons, just answer your questions from the perspective of the East Palace caravan, if you say something wrong, you can just laugh it off."

In the case of the mining in Xiazhou, you saw the role of the nobles in promoting the economy, that is, the business circle, and also saw the effect of the rich on the prosperity of the local area. Now that the ban on 'not doing business for officials' has been lifted, I just want to see if it really works.

The prosperity of business is actually of great benefit to Datang. If the commercial tax revenue is high, the burden on the peasants will be eased. Erchen only heard that there were dynasties that collapsed because of tax increases, but I didn't hear of those that collapsed because of tax cuts.

However, just like planting crops, it is not right to think about the harvest as soon as the seed is sown, and it is not right to think about the harvest as soon as the heading is raised. You have just lifted the ban, and the nobles will surely be passionate about doing business and developing industries. If the commercial law is changed at this time, even if it is only a small change, it will surprise them. It's not good to have the opposite effect.

Although it is a suspicion of indulgence to maintain the original commercial law, wouldn't it be better to wait for the seeds to become real crops before harvesting? ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian relaxed and let go of his legs. Obviously, Sun Simiao has already said that there is no big problem, but after kneeling for a long time, his legs still hurt very much.

But if you don't kneel and sit, you can't do it, this is the so-called "positive color", since you want to speak seriously, you must be serious in your attitude.

Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian was serious, and he also thought about it for a while, and found that it was indeed the case.

Since there are high hopes for business, it is not possible to harvest in the early stage, but to water more and fertilize more.

Nodding with satisfaction, Li Shimin said with a smile: "It seems that you have a long-term vision, in this case, I will hand over all the business excerpts to you in the future." It's time to engrave your prince's seal. ”

Hearing her husband say this from afar, the eldest grandson couldn't help but smile. The official engraving of the prince's seal represents that the prince has the qualifications to handle government affairs. If the courtiers don't stop him, then Li Chengqian will really become the crown prince.

Li Chengqian didn't care if there was a big seal or not, but he was still very happy to get the power to deal with the twists. Although this "handling twist" is likely to be very old-fashioned just to make a suggestion, not a real decision.

When reviewing the folds, Li Shimin was a pure emperor, but when he put down the pen to tease the child, he became a father again.

In fact, it is very difficult to think about the prince, as long as you sit in the position of the prince, you will have to live in the East Palace. If you want to see your parents, you have to "ask to see".

After eating a so-called "family dinner" at separate tables in the Liangyi Palace, Li Chengqian got into a carriage and returned to the academy.

Because the old man's spirit has regained his vigor, Li Chengqian no longer prevents his old man from teaching at the academy. It was also bitter to say that Li Anren was originally a serious gentleman in the college, but when Li Gang was rising, he could only put down his schoolwork, hand over the lectern to his grandfather, and become a wheelchair pusher.

There are some hot classes in the afternoon, but it can't stop the students from studying. One by one, they all listened attentively to the old man's explanation.

At this time, the students did not have the stinking problems of the later generations at all, and some who were really sleepy would rather get up and walk to the wall than miss their schoolwork.

The spirit of the head cantilever cone thorn strand, passed to this time, has not yet dissipated.

Seeing that the old man was happy in class, Li Chengqian could only leave and go to the back playground to exercise.

On the back playground, Xungui's class happened to be in physical education class, and unlike the ordinary students next door, Xungui's children were tough no matter what they did.

When choosing a running weight, none of them were less than twenty pounds, and non-humans like Cheng Chusi and Wei Chi Baolin even chose fifty pounds.

Seeing that Li Chengqian started running accompanied by the guards, Li Ke let them move freely, and ran to his brother's side in great strides to follow.

"Brother Huang, is your leg okay?"

"Huh~Huh~ Naturally, it's no problem, after holding it for so long, it's time to start resuming exercise. You see, I just put down more than half a year of exercise, and as a result, I didn't finish a lap, so I couldn't do it. Looks like you'll have to work hard to catch up with you. ”

Li Ke nodded, but there was a look of disdain: "Do you think the younger brother doesn't know?" You can't run because of a leg injury, but you don't put down your sword and archery.

Listen to Qingque said, although you are not a hundred steps through the poplar now, you can shoot a copper coin in fifty steps, but you have no arrows. In comparison, the younger brother is not good, and he is still shooting targets. ”

Li Chengqian smiled, patted Li Ke's shoulder and said, "Just take your time, although the bow horse skill is talented, the acquired effort can also pile up success." ”

After speaking, noticing a large group of people running from the passage of the teaching building to the playground, Li Chengqian added: "But if you don't want to do the hard work the day after tomorrow, then there is no way." ”

Li Ke also followed Li Chengqian's line of sight, and couldn't help but smile when he saw someone coming.

The brothers stopped walking, and Li Chengqian took the towel handed over by the guard, wiped his sweat, and then greeted him.

"General Hou came to visit the academy, why didn't he say it in advance, Lone is better to prepare a banquet for the general."

That's right, the person who came was Hou Junji.

Hou Junji seemed to have just entered the palace to report on his work, and he came to the academy, and the armor on his body was not taken off, and several generals behind him were not disarmed.

This is very impolite, you must know that even if Li Jing and the others want to enter the academy, they must order the family general to leave their weapons at the guard and enter the courtyard cleanly. After all, the full name of the academy is "Zhenguan Academy", the president is the emperor, and the vice president is the prince, and the least respect still has to be spoken.

And looking at the helpless and nervous doorman behind them, this group of bastards still broke in.

I still remember that before I went to the grassland, Li Chengqian walked with Li Jing, and saw Hou Junji riding a horse and crossed the provincial gate a few steps before I realized it.

When Li Jing saw this situation, he said to him: "Hou Junji is not interested in anyone, and he will definitely rebel." ”

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to say that a national guild had rebelled in front of the prince, so he could only add: "Your Highness, don't be serious, the old man is just joking." ”

In fact, Li Jing's understanding of Hou Junji is very accurate, such a person who has no respect for his superiors and only does things according to his own preferences will indeed bury himself in the grave.

Hou Junji didn't seem to see the changed face of the prince's guard, his hand still didn't take off the sword, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is serious, how can Weichen be worthy of your reception." This time I returned to Beijing, and I only came back after being reprimanded by His Majesty. ”

Seeing that he didn't look embarrassed at all, Li Chengqian decided that he was stretching out his hand in the army again. It's all a bad habit left over when he was a second-rate child, even if he is rich, he is still keen on money.

Other generals will at most take a little bit of value in the battle capture, and will take care of their subordinates, and then everyone will happily charge the rest into the battle. Only this idiot will slam his arms regardless of it, and he will not share the benefits equally.

Compared with Li Chengqian, Li Ke is not so easy to speak. Seeing that Hou Junji was arrogant and rude, he said: "General Hou is so majestic, don't you know how to unload your blade in front of my imperial brother?" The royal brother is benevolent and doesn't care about you, but this king wants to write to Chang'an and ask, when will the courtiers be able to hold their waists and blades in front of the prince? ”

Seeing that Li Ke was angry, Hou Junji seemed to remember something, untied his sword and handed it to the generals, ordered them to retreat to the side, and then clasped his fists and saluted and said: "Weichen was confused for a while, and he was rude in front of His Royal Highness and King Wu, and he looked at Haihan!" I came to the academy today, and I really missed the dog, so I rushed in. ”

Seeing that Hou Junji's attitude had changed, Li Kecai nodded, just waved his hand, and Hou Sili, who had been waiting at the edge of the playground, ran over happily.

The meeting of father and son in the world is actually quite touching, and it has nothing to do with identity. Hou Junji patted his son's shoulder excitedly, said that he had grown taller, and then pinched his muscles, very satisfied.

As for knowledge, although he is a general, he doesn't recognize a lot of words. However, being taught by so many famous Confucians, where else will it go?

Hou Sili hugged his father and asked some interesting questions about the grassland before he reluctantly said goodbye.

"It's just a workout, what's the hurry. Today, you and my father and son are reunited after a long absence, and my father will take you to see the good horses that our family has captured, and one of them is a gift from my father. ”

"Father, no, the academy will not approve students to leave the academy unless there are special circumstances. Now that the child is in physical education class, there are rules for how much exercise they need to do, and they can't leave without permission. ”

Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the students he brought are still very well-behaved.

Li Chengqian patted Hou Sili on the shoulder and said: "The special situation is to say that today, your father has been fighting on the grassland for a long time, and although there are flaws, he can't cover up his hard work. It looks like you don't have any follow-up homework today, so go home, and come back tomorrow after the morning reading! ”

Seeing the prince, no, the vice president said this, Hou Sili immediately became excited. Hou Junji also nodded with satisfaction, he is like this, what he likes most is that others give him face. All of them are like this, face first, life second.

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, a banquet is being prepared in the Weichen Mansion, I wonder if you can invite the prince to the banquet? I heard that His Majesty has lifted the ban on nobles not doing business, and Weichen's family also has some assets and wants to cooperate with His Royal Highness. ”

Working with you? If you want to eat fart, I'm afraid that you will take the lead. Besides, only the East Palace has always been a shareholder of other companies, who would have thought of entering the Shareholder Palace? Fang Xuanling didn't dare!

"What does General Hou want to cooperate with, you might as well talk about it now, although Lone wants to go to the banquet, why does Master Li still need to serve Lonely. It is a last resort to leave for the sake of the court, and it is unfilial piety to go to the banquet. ”

Li Chengqian has moved out of Li Gang as a shield, and Hou Junji is helpless. Seeing that Li Ke didn't avoid it at all, he sighed and said, "Weichen is very curious about cement, I don't know if I can know the formula?" Don't hide it from Your Highness, there were two white stone mines in the family before, but the lime couldn't be sold at a good price. If you sell lime, hehe..."

Hey, hey, you're a ghost!

Li Chengqian originally thought that Hou Junji was going to enter the shareholder palace industry, but who would have thought that this guy would actually target cement. Although the words are to give shares, but to the formula of cement.

I really don't know what to say, Donggong has now sent the cement workshop to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and is only responsible for the sale of cement in Datang.

The court listed cement as a controlled product, and the head of the craftsman who knew the recipe, and the whole family lived with the army Sima, saying that it was protection, but everyone knew that this was also monitoring.

How can such a vital thing be told at will? You must know that the renovation of the key city of Datang has not been completed until now.

"General Hou, cement is the control of the court, don't say it's you, even if you want it, you won't give it. You better give up, since you have a white stone mine at home, it is better to go to Li Daliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to discuss, the cement is now at a high price, and the purchase of white stone will not be as low as before. ”

thought that his hot face was attached to his cold buttocks, which made Hou Junji very unhappy, but he couldn't vent it in person, so he could only take Hou Sili away unhappily.

Looking at the back of Hou Junji leaving, Li Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Huang, why are you so tolerant of this guy?" I think he's very upset! ”

Li Chengqian smiled, patted Li Ke's shoulder and said: "I don't have to tear my face if I hate a person, I hate him too, but blowing his face may satisfy his vanity, and the more arrogant he becomes, maybe he will go astray." ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian walked out with a smile, and said as he walked, "Don't mix dinner in the cafeteria today, I called Qingque, and you come to me to eat dumplings in the evening." ”

Li Ke, who was still very unhappy, suddenly smiled. Although the food in the cafeteria is not bad, since Qingque is also coming, he thinks it is most enjoyable for the three brothers to eat together. 1603445992
