The eldest grandson Wuji paused for a moment, as if taking a breath to rest, then pulled up the rope again, continued to pull pears and ploughed the land, and said, "Do you think everyone is pulling pears?" No, everyone is pulling it for His Highness to see, and it is also for Gu Tianya to see. What is a plow? The plough is the most important tool for the people of the world to dig in the soil. As officials of the Tang Dynasty, we have the responsibility to feed the people, so this is not pulling pears, but pulling up the heavy responsibility of officials! ”

The eldest grandson Chong was thoughtful.

But seeing the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly turned around, looked at his son with a solemn face, and taught earnestly: "You are still a child now, Cheng Chumo and they are also children, you juniors, you are not qualified to pull this plow for the time being, but you have also seen it, each family has let their children hold the plow." You take a closer look, every plough is the eldest son, Chong'er you ponder, do you know what the reason is? ”

The eldest grandson Chong was very intelligent, and almost without hesitation, he said: "Inheritance? Cultivate? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded with satisfaction, but still added a point, and said leisurely: "There is also a promise to the royal family." ”

He glanced not far away, and said again: "Your aunt will be the queen in the future, it is said that our family does not need to be the same as others, but the most feared thing in the world is a 'according to the word', because things in the world have never been taken for granted, and if you want to enjoy wealth and nobility, you have to work hard." The eldest son of someone else's family can pull pears, and you, as the eldest son of the eldest grandson's family, also have to pull pears. ”

The eldest grandson nodded solemnly, and his little face was full of solemnity.

The eldest grandson was even more pleased, and suddenly looked not far away again, and said with a pointed voice: "At the beginning, the people of Tiance Mansion were the most ruthless in doing things for their father, I valued interests, and Gu Tianya valued affection, so even if they were related to each other, he was the most vigilant about being a father. You are my son, maybe it will be affected, this time everyone came to congratulate the tiger baby, one of the main purposes is to keep their eldest son, if you can't stay, you will be left behind in the future. ”

The eldest grandson Chong subconsciously became nervous, and couldn't help but say, "Do you want to learn Uncle Gu's knowledge?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded solemnly and said, "Everyone wants to." ”

……

In the field not far away, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, Gu Tianya next to him smiled, handed him a sweat towel, and asked with a smile: "Lend you an envoy?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at the sweat towel with some disgust, frowned, and said, "There is a smell of sweat, hurry up and take it away." You are also a person of status now, don't be sloppy like a farmer all day long, look at your dress, I almost didn't recognize it before. ”

Gu Tianya laughed twice, wiped his face with a sweat towel carelessly, and said slowly: "You didn't just hold the ox rope, you walked like a farmer with one foot deep and one foot shallow, your posture is very ugly, and your hairy hands and feet are contemptible......"

Li Shimin glared at him and said angrily: "I'm working for my eldest brother, so that my eldest brother won't be too tired." ”

Gu Tianya said 'hey', and said pointedly: "Then you can do it in the future, what the eldest brother should do can be tiring to death." Today, only this field is cultivated, but there are many fields that need to be cultivated in the whole world. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said, "Yes, this will be very tiring." ”

Gu Tianya glanced at him and joked with a smile: "Why don't you give up the throne to me, and I'll help you do this tiring work?" ”

Li Shimin snorted and scolded: "The beauty you think of, you don't pick the fruit like this." If you want to be the emperor, you can rise up in Hebei Province, as long as you succeed in your rebellion, the Li family can give you the country. ”

Gu Tianya pursed his lips and said, "I'm not stupid, I only did this when I was full." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Shimin, and said: "Second brother, you don't have to be tempted, we have already said this matter, Zhaoning has a stubborn personality, she is unwilling to take advantage of her mother's family, and I belong to the character of having a son and having enough to do everything, and I will definitely not be greedy for the interests of your Li family." ”

Li Shimin sat on the ridge of the field, ignoring the dirt at all, and said with a smile: "Is there really a son who is enough?" But how do I feel like you're making a big move? For example, the three levels of conscience you set up are clearly to alert the officials in the court. And those waterwheels and utensils, you deliberately let them see the effect...... You throw such a heavy profit, you dare to say that you are not tempting people? ”

"Yes! I'm tempting them! ”

Gu Tianya did not shy away from it, and nodded directly at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's face was a little cautious, and he couldn't help but say, "What do you want?" ”

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps, Li Jiancheng came over with his pocket, he also sat on the ridge with his buttocks, and the three brothers and brothers-in-law happened to sit side by side

Since their team had oxen pulling pears, they worked faster than those pulling pears, and by this time the fields had been ploughed and the seeds had been sown in the fields. Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin, then at Gu Tianya, and suddenly smiled: "What's the matter?" The two brothers are starting to mumble? The third family, you don't always have to scare your second brother, he has a small heart, and sometimes he is easy to drill the horns, Erlang, you don't always have to pull this face, our brother-in-law is not an outsider, what he wants to do is good for the Li family. ”

Gu Tianya was dumbfounded, and pretended to be unwilling: "Big brother, you are always like this, I finally had a chance to scare him once." ”

Li Shimin laughed and said with a relaxed expression: "I knew you had a big move." ”

The three brothers glanced at each other, and then looked at the officials in the ridge together, and suddenly Gu Tianya reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, held it in his hand and said: "Zhaoning has mentioned it to me many times, and I myself feel that I can't drag it anymore, so take advantage of the full moon baptism of the child this time, and we will return Hebei Province to the Li family......"

Li Shimin's face was a little solemn, and he couldn't help but say, "Pay it back now?" Can you hold out a little longer? This time, I led hundreds of officials all the way here, and found that although Hebei Province has improved somewhat, it is still very poor, and this place has been war-torn for a long time, and the land and the people have long been damaged. If it is returned to the Li family now, it will directly be an additional burden. ”

He paused as he spoke, followed by sincerity and said: "Now that the Tang Dynasty has only been established for seven years, the world's roads are still not stable. If you can continue to be in charge of Hebei Province for a while, Second Brother and I will be able to free up my mind to govern other places first. Wait until there is a slight improvement in other places, can you return Hebei Province again? ”

"No way!" Gu Tianya shook his head slowly.

He also looked at Li Shimin sincerely, and said solemnly: "There is no estrangement between our brothers, so I firmly believe that this return will definitely be returned, but since ancient times, the heart of the people is unpredictable, can the second brother guarantee that the officials of Datang will think so?" They came to congratulate me this time, it was true that they wanted to reconcile with me, but they also had a thought, that is, they wanted to be able to get back to Hebei Province as soon as possible. There is an old saying that although the world is royal, the world is also official, and those officials are not willing to give up in such a large area as Hebei Province. As long as the court is taken back, it will be governed by officials, and once officials govern, there are interests in it. ”

Li Shimin's face was a little ugly, and he turned his head to look at the officials who were plowing the fields.

Gu Tianya smiled and said: "Hebei Dao, let's take the opportunity to return it this time, as for the 200,000 women's army, I also ask the second brother to send a descendant to take over, but there is one sentence I have to say first, Zhaoning and I will only return the former women's army." That is to say, we will not keep a single soldier or a soldier before she got married, but we will definitely not return the soldiers and horses after she marries me, because it is the family business earned by our husband and wife. ”

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said solemnly: "The women's army is Xiuning's hard work, even if it is not returned to the family, it doesn't matter." As a result, not only did you choose to return, but you also returned all your military strength, and no one could find fault with such boldness......"

He hesitated, and then suddenly said, "It's just that in this case, do you still have military strength under your command?" It is better to return some of the soldiers and horses first, leave some as a guarantee, and wait until the foundation is solid, and then return all the soldiers and horses. ”

"Hehe, it's not necessary!"

Before Gu Tianya could speak, Li Jiancheng suddenly answered for him and said, "Since you choose to return it, it is best to be able to return it clearly, otherwise there will be entanglements of interests in the future, and it will be easy to quarrel when mixed together." It doesn't matter between our brothers, I'm afraid that the family will even want to reach out to the court, even if the family and the court can understand, but who can guarantee that the children of the next generation can still maintain family affection? When the interests are too great, it is difficult for the parents to discipline the younger generations. At that time, it will be difficult for our brothers to be caught in the middle, and if we really want to fight, it will definitely hurt each other's feelings. ”

Gu Tianya nodded, looked at Li Shimin and said, "What the eldest brother said is exactly what Zhao Ning and I are worried about. ”

Li Shimin also nodded and said, "Since that's the case......"

Although he did not continue, the three brothers knew that the matter was settled.

It was only at this time that Gu Tianya slowly said his intentions and said: "Although Hebei Province has been returned, Danzhou is my homeland, so I will stay in this state." ”

Li Shimin did not hesitate and agreed: "Only by having a foundation can we ensure food and clothing." Even if you don't say this, the Li family will help you do it, the reason why my father gave the tiger baby as the Duke of Danzhou is actually to give the whole of Danzhou to you. ”

He paused as he spoke, looked in a certain direction, and said: "Strictly speaking, the land of this state is not a division of the country, before the first battle of the Liang State, you led the soldiers and horses to capture the three states of the Yunwei Dynasty, but you only need one Yunzhou, but you gave up the Ulzhou and Daizhou, and everyone in the family can understand that you are exchanging those two states for Danzhou." ”

Saying that, he stopped again, looked at Gu Tianya with a smile on his face, and said solemnly: "So, the Gu family doesn't owe anything to the Li family." On the contrary, in this transaction, our Li family earned an extra state. ”

Gu Tianya nodded with a smile and said, "The transaction is clearly understood, and it will be easy to break up if there is an entanglement in the future." ”

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng both feel the same way.

At this time, it was noon, and the officials who cultivated the land were gradually over, and the three brothers sat lazily on the ridges, looking from a distance as if they were three farmers chatting about their daily routines, but who could have known that the three of them were talking about the general trend of the world.

Gu Tianya slowly exhaled and said, "I thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out one thing. If you want the people in the world to be rich, you must first make the officials greedy, if the officials can't eat, how can they let the people be fed, but this greed is not to let them covet the interests of the people, but to throw out another huge benefit for them to be greedy. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "In the past, I always thought that the family was lying on the common people and drinking blood, so I hated the family and always thought that I could kill the family. But I now find that there is actually an article to do about this, since ancient times, everyone has pursued profit, this is people's innate selfishness, even God cannot change this fact......"

"Since we can't change it, then we have to follow the trend, greed is not terrible, and we can guide it well. As long as we set up a huge benefit, and let this kind of great profit be closely related to the people of the world, then whether it is an old family or a new family, they have to work hard in order to seek great profits. ”

Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, and he suddenly said: "For example, the water conservancy project you deliberately let everyone see, once it is built, it will increase the income of the fields countless times, and in the process of increasing income, everyone will become rich together." Even if they don't persecute them, they will scramble to do it......"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Tianya, and said thoughtfully: "This is driven by profit, which is far better than using power to coerce." When you can make everybody rich, you speak more powerfully than I, the future emperor. ”

Gu Tianya slowly exhaled again and said: "Our Gu family needs to do a big thing, so we must let the officials work hard to develop the people's livelihood, which is very good for the Li family's Datang, and it is also very good for our Gu family, so our two families are a win-win situation." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Jiancheng, suddenly looked to the north, and said with deep meaning: "But the territory between you and Xiuning is too small." ”

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said without hesitation: "After I throw out a big profit, the officials under you, Second Brother, will rush to let me expand the territory......"

Li Shimin also smiled and said leisurely: "So I came here with great fanfare this time, and deliberately did not lead the army to protect, just to make an opportunity for some people to feel that there is an opportunity." ”

Li Jiancheng got up slowly, looked at the northwest direction with his hands in his hands, and said: "Liang Shidu is a generation of heroes, he lost eleven states in the previous war, and there are Turks standing behind him, and he will never swallow this breath." Erlang, you and I Xuanwumen battle, our own people know that it is a ploy, but outsiders don't know the secret, they will only think that Datang is turbulent. Half a month ago, I had already repaired Luo Yi and asked him to deliberately raise troops to rebel in Ningzhou, which is close to Liang and borders the Turks, presumably, the Liang division can't hold it back......"

After a pause, he looked at Li Shimin and Gu Tianya, and said, "If Master Liang can't help it, the Turks will definitely not be able to help it." ”

Gu Tianya and Li Shimin got up together, the three brothers looked at each other, and said with a smile: "The full moon baptism of the tiger baby must make a big scene, if the number of participants is small, it can't be done." So, welcome to visit. ”
