Early the next morning, when Li Mohan went to pull Li Lizhen for a morning run, he found that this kid was not in the room.

The heart said that the four golden flowers in our house will not let this little white pig arch, right?

I saw Li Lizhi coming out of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji's room.

It turned out that he went to greet his elders, and he was still a knowledgeable boy!

Li Lizhen also quickly discovered him, whispered something to Li Shimin, and went out of the mansion with Li Mohan.

After Li Shimin finished washing, he also called the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Junxian to go out for a walk with great interest.

"Auxiliary, Xuan Ling, let's go around the village too, right? Without Li Mohan, this kid is here, and the mood can be much lighter, and look at how the people here are."

"That's great!"

The four of them left the Li Mansion and turned right, strolling along the wide and smooth road in front of the mansion.

From a distance, you can see Li Mohan and Li Lizhen running.

In the distance, it seemed that a group of villagers were practicing, and the neat queue and the loud slogan of 'one, two, three, four' made the four of them shine.

Not only amazed by this method of drilling, but the kind of momentum shown by this team, this village warrior is so well-trained?

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji both had a faint sadness on their faces.

After walking a short distance, you can see a lot of corn being dried on the side of the road, and almost every house and yard is full of corn piled and hung in front of the house. The threshing floor is also filled with dried white flaky sweet potatoes that are drying.

The four of them didn't know each other, and they asked the old farmer to find out that the sweet potatoes were sliced and dried into dried sweet potatoes, which were easy to keep. These dried sweet potatoes can not only be ground into noodles, but also boiled and eaten directly to make wine.

The old farmer's surname was Chen, and the family of three was originally a refugee who fled from Jizhou, but was taken in by Li Mohan and settled down in Lijiazhuang.

"Uncle Chen, how is your family's autumn grain harvest this year?" Li Shimin started a family routine with him.

"Well, not much. More than 7,000 catties of corn were harvested, and more than 12,000 catties of sweet potatoes were harvested. Alas, there are only three people in our family, one man is an old man, and one girl has not yet married. There's no way, it's poor, and most people don't look down on it. Chen Laohan sighed.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji were all stunned, this is called poverty? If this is called poor, how many people in Datang dare to call it rich?

This old farmer isn't bragging, is he?

The people in this Li Jiazhuang have all made Li Mohan bad, and none of them are normal!

Seeing the expressions of the four of them, Chen Laohan had already guessed what they were thinking.

"A few people think the old man is bragging, right? Okay, don't believe it, and go to the old man's house to take a look. He took Li Shimin's hand first and led the four of them to their home.

He didn't know that he had taken the emperor's hand, if it weren't for Li Shimin, the mind of the first emperor through the ages, he would definitely not be able to keep his head.

I saw that his house was a courtyard with thick walls plastered with cement plastered (they only learned that this building material was called cement when they heard Lao Chen talk about it later, and it was invented by Li Mohan. ), smooth and simple. There are a total of eleven red-tiled rooms, except for three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, the rest are actually five warehouses and one is a toilet.

"That's how our house is usually built. If there is a rich man, he will build a two-story or even three-story building. Chen Laohan said, pointing to more than a dozen households not far away, and sure enough, four or five of them were three-story buildings.

The eldest grandson Wuji was still a little unconvinced, so Chen Laohan opened the five warehouses of their family.

I saw that the jars were full of corn and wheat. The dried sweet potatoes were piled up in a big pile, and they were almost on the roof.

Fang Xuanling wondered if he had evaded taxes.

"Uncle Chen, has your family ever paid taxes?"

Chen Laohan said solemnly: "Of course, our young master said that 'the humble did not dare to forget the country', we not only paid, but also paid the tax that should be exchanged for labor service, and paid an extra fifty percent." ”

"'Do you dare to forget your country?' , this is Li Mohan's kid... Did your owner say that? Li Shimin asked, and said that this stinky boy still has this consciousness?

Chen Laohan saw that Li Shimin was contemptuous of his young master in his words, and said dissatisfiedly: "Of course! The young master also said something, 'The rise and fall of the world, horse... The husband is responsible', alas, the young master has also said a lot of similar things, old man, I am old, I don't remember so much. Don't look at our young master's youth, that ability is great! Not only give us fields, but also give us good seeds, so that we can live a fairy-like life. He also taught us some family and country principles. Old man, what kind of blessing is this cultivation in my last life, let the old man meet the young master. We are now praying for the young master every day, hoping that he can marry more than a dozen daughters-in-law as soon as possible and spread the branches and leaves for the old Li family. The young master has a good heart, his family shouldn't be thin. ”

Hearing Chen Laohan say this, Li Shimin was greatly relieved.

Fang Xuanling also said: "This son has such a mind, he is really a great talent of the country." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded in agreement.

At this time, Chen Laohan's daughter and mother-in-law brought breakfast to the table in the courtyard.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, so come and eat together!"

"No, no, I'm bothering my father-in-law, let's go to Li's Mansion to eat." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly pushed and gave way.

When Chen Laohan heard this, he pulled the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin and didn't let them go.

"The four masters turned out to be the young master's VIPs, so if you say anything today, you have to eat at the old man's house before leaving. The guest of honor who can entertain the young master, that is the blessing of the old man's family, the four masters must not refuse! ”

"Mother-in-law, lotus, go to the kitchen and get more buns."

"Hey~" Mrs. Chen and his wife happily went to the kitchen, and after a while, they brought three plates of steamed buns, cakes and four plates of small pickles, as well as a pot of soy milk and five pairs of chopsticks.

"Four masters, don't think the old man has a cold breakfast."

"Where, Uncle Chen, this breakfast is very different from what I ate in Chang'an City, can you introduce me?" Li Shimin and the others were no longer polite, and sat down around the table.

"Oh, it's a meat bun, the dough is cut open, and the sauce is sandwiched in between. That plate is fried corn tortillas, and this plate is the nest head of dried sweet potato noodles, all of which are home-cooked meals, you're welcome! ”

"Sauce meat? What kind of meat is that? ”

The people in this Lijiazhuang have all eaten meat?

Chen explained:

"The sauce meat is made of pork, and it is best to choose the kind of meat that is half fat and half lean. Thanks to our young master, who taught us the new pig raising technology, this pork is no longer fishy, and now there is meat to eat. You are poorer than our family, but you are more generous than those landlords and old wealth outside! ”

Who's to say it isn't. In these years, it is considered a luxury for the landlord to have a bowl of tofu to eat. There's meat here!

Seeing that several people were stunned, Chen Laohan picked up a meat bun for demonstration, drank a sip of soy milk, took a bite of the bun, and let them say:

"You're welcome. Let's be honest!"

See Chen Laohan munching on meat and buns. Li Shimin and the others unceremoniously took the meat sandwich bun and ate it first.

"Well, the meat is rotten, the dough cake is crispy and soft, and the stomach is the best!"

"This tortilla is sweet in the aroma, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's really delicious!"

"Dried sweet potatoes with pickles are simply amazing!"

……

Chen Lotus and her mother looked at the four people in the kitchen and muttered, "This is the master in Chang'an City, why are you so hungry?" It seems that you can't marry to Chang'an! Daddy is right, you still have to find the right one in the village. ”

Coming out of Chen Laohan's house, Li Shimin saw that there was no one else around, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling:

"Auxiliary machine, Xuan Cheng, do you estimate, what is the stock of this old Han family?"

Fang Xuanling replied: "According to Weichen's estimate, there is no less than 50,000 catties of stock in the warehouse alone. ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, added: "This is not counting the corn hanging in his yard and on the wall, and the dried sweet potatoes in the courtyard and in front of the door. ”

Li Shimin sighed with emotion: "This is still the poor household of Lijiazhuang!" I found out that compared with the people of this Li Jiazhuang, you and I are poor! ”

"It's so unreasonable!" Li Junxian said a rare word, but it was a divine sword.

Li Shimin asked again: "Auxiliary machine, Xuancheng, what do you think of Li Mohan's son?" ”

"Talent! It can be called a pillar of talent! The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Such a talent, but he failed to serve in the imperial court, Zhao Guogong, you are acting in charge of the ministry, and you have spare time, but you are derelict in your duties." Fang Xuanling reproached.

"Xuan Ling blames." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded in praise.

"'The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband', 'The humble person does not dare to forget the country' It is well said, what a family and country feelings, and the minister is ashamed!" Fang Xuanling said sincerely.

"What Xuan Ling said is extremely true, the minister is ashamed, he is not as good as this lazy boy."

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.

"This kid is really lazy, it seems that he is unwilling to work hard if he is not trapped."

looked at Li Lizhen and Li Mohan, who were constantly playing and playing in the distance.

"Do you think it is appropriate for me to marry Li Mohan if I am happy with it?"

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he sighed in his heart, his son Changsun Chong, I am afraid that he will never have a chance with Princess Changle again.
