Li Shimin returned to the side hall of the Xuanzheng Palace.

He's in a very happy mood these days.

When the poem was released, the response was very good, and the ministers of civil and military affairs praised it one after another.

Although the road of cultural and martial arts is not easy, it is ...... It doesn't seem to be far off.

Every time he came to this time, Zhang Qian, the regular attendant, would diligently take a book and send it to Li Shimin.

As the sun set, the afterglow of the sunset penetrated into the hall, and countless lights in the hall lit up and shone on Li Shimin's radiant face.

Forthwith...... He flipped through the book.

This is a money book, Li Shimin picked up the pen and looked at the dense numbers on it, and he could already memorize these numbers backwards.

Forthwith...... He picked up the pen with great interest, and after the number, he added another stroke.

Erpigou Salt Industry operates in thousands of pounds every day, and the daily profits are amazing.

You see...... If the salt tax is removed, the net profit of a day is also amazing, I will calculate it...... In this way, in these two months, I am afraid that the profit has reached 100,000 yuan, and my share is ...... No, the division of my beloved daughter...... I think it's fifty or sixty thousand, tsk...... It's amazing, it's amazing......

Closing the book, Li Shimin glanced up at Zhang Qian: "...... today"

He paused, and then said, "Today, go to Zhou Zhaorong's place." ”

Zhang Qian's face was expressionless, he was used to it, every time His Majesty finished settling the accounts, he couldn't help but be full of interest to go to Princess Sui'an's mother, he nodded with his chin bowed: "Slave obeys." ”

…………

Li Shimin went to Zhou Zhaorong's place.

Zhou Zhaorong hurriedly led people to greet him, in the past two months, His Majesty has always come every three or five times, so this attic has suddenly become a little more popular, not only the dormitory has been cleaned several times, it is the royal thing to welcome the saint, and it has also allocated a lot.

Every time Zhou Zhaorong thought of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

She naturally knows that this has nothing to do with her daughter, if it weren't for her, and Chen Zhengtai, I'm afraid that she would never have today.

In the past, a person who could be ignored in the palace suddenly became hot, which is really emotional.

Because of this, Zhou Zhaorong was even more careful to flatter the emperor.

Li Shimin entered the dormitory, Zhou Zhaorong personally brought the teacup, Li Shimin took a sip of tea, and said energetically: "This tea is very tasty." ”

"This is a ...... from His Majesty" Zhou Zhaorong smiled softly and looked at Li Shimin with affection.

Li Shimin laughed: "No, no, no, I didn't say that this tea is good, I have drunk this tea many times, what I said is...... When this kind of tea arrives at you, it tastes good. ”

Zhou Zhaorong's face couldn't help but flush, and he said with shyness: "Your Majesty's words are exaggerated, can your Majesty be so loved......"

"I don't allow you to say that, I have lost you and Xiurong in the past, how can I not know?"

Li Shimin showed a look of regret.

This made Zhou Zhaorong's eyes suddenly red, and he unconsciously shed tears.

Li Shimin sighed again.

Zhou Zhaorong said: "Why did Your Majesty sigh? ”

Li Shimin looked sad, holding the teacup, but he didn't continue to drink, just muttered to himself: "The Emperor Taishang has lived in Taiji Palace for a long time, and it is not a way, he is my father, and I have the grace to raise him." And now, he is in this old palace, that palace is old and in disrepair, and I, the son of man, feel ashamed every time I think of it. ”

"Your Majesty does you have to build a new palace?" Zhou Zhaorong asked along with Li Shimin's words, looking at Li Shimin's sad face, the unique tenderness of women exuded.

Li Shimin said with emotion: "Yes, I have long had this thought, the Emperor Taishang has a love for me, I don't say that I am building a palace, that is, ten, a hundred, and I can't repay the Emperor Taishang's nurturing grace." ”

Zhou Zhaorong said: "Your Majesty has this filial piety, so you might as well do it, why be worried?" ”

"You don't know." Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "To build a new palace, you have to use the treasury money, not to mention that this is the people's fat and people's ointment, if I am determined to build it, I am afraid that the imperial history of the court will scold me again." ”

Zhou Zhaorong listened and frowned secretly.

Li Shimin said with a casual look: "It would be nice if there was money in the palace, so that I can fulfill my filial piety without causing criticism from the court." ”

He deliberately bit the word filial piety very hard.

"If you talk about money, ......" Zhou Zhaorong said lightly: "Xiurong has a lot of them." ”

Li Shimin said in surprise: "Huh? She's rich, oh, yes, I forgot that she's out doing business with people now, and she's a daughter, but she's ambitious, and I'm very happy. ”

There was a slight twitch under his eyebrows, but he deliberately staggered his gaze, looking like he was slow and logical.

Zhou Zhaorong immediately said: "It's just a pity ......"

"It's a pity that what......" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Zhou Zhaorong.

Zhou Zhaorong said quietly: "It's a pity that Xiurong said that she wanted to buy grain, and the money in her hand went to buy chickens, ducks and grain with the Erpigou County man." “

Li Shimin sat still, his body stiffened, his face stiff, and he didn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early. It's a big thing, you can talk about it later, I'll give Your Majesty a wide coat ......" Zhou Zhaorong was a little shy, and under the palace lamp, with the charm of a young woman.

Li Shimin was silent.

"Your Majesty......"

"Ahem......" Li Shimin coughed and wrote lightly: "Oh, I remembered one thing, I still have something unknown today, you went to bed earlier, Zhang Qian, go get "The Legend of the Ram" to show me." ”

Zhang Qian hung his head and stood aside like a shadow, bowed down at this time and said, "Huh." ”

sent Zhou Zhaorong to sleep first, Li Shimin watched "The Legend of the Ram" for half a night under the rising candlelight, and waited for the sky to be slightly bright, before leaving Zhou Zhaorong's dormitory tiredly.

When he moved to the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhang Qian said in a low voice: "Seeing that Your Majesty is studying hard and has not slept all night, it is better for Your Majesty to sleep for a while before summoning ......"

Li Shimin shouted at him: "With so much money, why is it gone...... Buy grain, what do they buy so much grain for? ”

Although this sentence seems to be asked by Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian knows...... He had no way of knowing.

"Slave ......"

"Hey!" Li Shimin sighed: "A child is a child after all, let a group of dolls hold gold ingots in their hands, this is a tyrannical thing." ”

Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "Xiurong has no opinion, this must have been taught by Chen Zhengtai, she is so stupid, Chen Zhengtai is not a good thing, I can't spare him." ”

Gritting his teeth and scolding, Zhang Qian's mind moved, and a touch of cruelty flashed from the bottom of his eyes, Zhang Qian said: "Your Majesty, do you want to arrest Chen Zhengtai immediately." ”

Li Shimin suddenly looked at him with a strange look, which was indescribably cold.

Zhang Qian lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out.

Li Shimin suddenly said word by word in a cold voice: "You, a eunuch, dare to arrest my disciples? ”

Zhang Qian was so frightened that his hairs stood up, and he was busy prostrate and bowed down: "Slave...... Ten Thousand Dead ......"

Li Shimin's face was cold, he didn't even look at him, and walked away.

Zhang Qian didn't dare to stand up, kneeling on the cold masonry, already shivering.

……

More and more grain was sent to Erpigou.

Countless grains were piled up and put into the barn.

The makeshift barn was a little dilapidated, and Chen Zhengtai had to have people make repeated rounds to fill in the gaps.

Many Tibetan businessmen Jia Xing rushed to come, Chen Zhengtai couldn't understand the Tubo language, fortunately their Chinese was not bad, Chen Zhengtai didn't know if it was influenced by the later generations of hand-torn devils, but whenever he saw the Fanbang people, although they also talked in Chinese, they couldn't help but change their tone: "You ...... It is well dried, and the white salt is big and ......"

The faces of the Tibetan merchants bloomed with smiles, the largest Tibetan merchant in Chang'an City, Da Chi, looked at Chen Zhengtai with a sympathetic look, he has been in Chang'an for seven years, and the Chang'an people he has come into contact with are extremely shrewd.

Today can be regarded as meeting a fool, Da Chi admires the culture of the Central Plains, it can be seen that Chen Zhengtai, I can't help but think, if the people of Chang'an are all like this Chen Zhengtai, how good it would be.

"Childe, nineteen grain ships... A total of 270,000 catties of grain... with 5,000 catties of salt. Now, there is a balance between money and goods, and if you are a child, you still have to buy food...... A certain self-deed should try his best to maneuver. Chida smiled all over his face and made a fortune...... At this time, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

In fact...... In order to transfer these grains, he spent a lot of effort, after all, to transfer grain from Tibet, even if it was by water, but the loss along the way was also amazing.

It's just that now white salt is priceless and unmarketable, and you can exchange grain for these 5,000 catties of salt, and then you can get a big profit when you return to Tibet.

There were many Tibetan merchants like him, some of whom brought three or four ships, and some of whom partnered with others to transfer ships.

With such a huge amount of food, it would have been protracted to travel all the way.

However, the Tibetan merchants were afraid of long nights and dreams, almost regardless of any cost, and used the greatest energy to transfer the grain ship within two months.

"Okay, okay." Chen Zhengtai said with a humble face: "There is labor, there is labor." ”

"Where, where ......" Chida smiled: "In Chang'an in the future, I will have to rely on my son." ”

Speaking...... Chida got up and took his leave.

He walked out of the Chen family's house and ...... violently A dark shadow pounced on his face.

Subconsciously, Chida slapped his hand on his face, and suddenly, his face was blurred with flesh and blood, and he spread his hand to look at it, but saw that it was a flying locust that flew to his face and was slapped to death by himself.

Chida couldn't help but curse: "How can this be reasonable, this season...... There are such big locusts......"

As he spoke, he cursed and left.
