Chapter 96 [This Matter, Danger]

Gu Tianya's pleading words and pleading finally made Li Shimin's expression change.

He never showed himself like he did just now.

But although he admitted it in his heart, he still held it on his lips and said: "I'm not looking at your face, I'm poor Li Min of Hebei Province." You Gu Tianya are not qualified to borrow things from me, these 3,000 war horses were lent by me to the people of Hebei. ”

Gu Tianya let out a long breath.

He solemnly saluted the two of them.

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly, but turned his head to appease Li Shimin, and said with a warm smile: "Erlang, in fact, you should take a long-term view." You always unconsciously want to run the Guanzhong well, but have you ever thought that other places are also ours? Now you are the King of Qin of Tiance Mansion, so you think that the Guanzhong generation is your fiefdom, but one day in the future, the whole world will have to be borne by you. At that time, what is the difference between Guanzhong and Hebei for you? ”

There is obviously a hint in these words, and it is a reminder like a thunderbolt.

Li Shimin's face was suddenly shocked, and his mind seemed to ring Huang Zhong Dalu, but his eyes subconsciously looked at Gu Tianya, and a trace of hesitation seemed to flash faintly.

saw Li Jiancheng smile, and said with deep meaning: "Tianya is not an outsider, but our brother-in-law, so Erlang, you don't have to be vigilant, you don't have to hide this matter from him." ”

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said, "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, which made me wake up suddenly." Whether it is Guanzhong in Hebei, or Lingnan in Jiangnan, looking at the entire Central Plains, it is our place, I really shouldn't fight, on the contrary, I should help! ”

As soon as he stopped here, he suddenly laughed and said, "I don't want 3,000 war horses, and I don't want 4,500 bullocks, all of them are left to Hebei, so that this stinky boy can live and manage." If the people of Hebei can be rich, it will also be the prosperity of the people of my Datang. But this stinky boy needs to work hard, and everything he does is to help the Li family stabilize the country, thinking about it like this, it turns out that he is the one who loses, hahahaha, so proud. ”

Li Jiancheng finally put down a big stone in his heart, and said with relief: "I am very pleased that you can figure this out." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Tianya and asked jokingly, "Don't fight this time!" ”

Gu Tianya nodded hurriedly, and saluted again sincerely.

Li Jiancheng's face was even more relieved, and he felt that he had finally persuaded the two little brothers to reconcile.

He seemed to want to pat Gu Tianya on the shoulder, but in the end, he endured his desire and did not step forward, but told with a smile: "You two were too close to me because of the quarrel just now, remember not to do so in the future, you must stand far away from me, preferably five feet away, and never face my cough." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Li Shimin suddenly changed color, and his face was pale, as if he was panicking in his heart.

Gu Tianya's face also changed, and he suddenly looked at Li Jiancheng's palm, and asked softly, "Big brother, do you have blood in your hands?" ”

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to answer, he followed and said: "When we greeted you at the head of the village before, the younger brother saw you coughing violently with your hands over your mouth. You hid your palms behind your back at that time, and you didn't want us to see you cough up blood, did you? ”

Li Jiancheng smiled, waved his hand and said: "It's just a bumpy horse, it should be no big problem, you are my brother-in-law, and you are not an outsider to the Li family, so I won't hide this from you, the imperial doctor diagnosed that I still have three years to live." ”

Gu Tianya's eyes froze, he almost didn't want to blurt out, and asked, "What's the disease?" ”

It's a pity that Li Jiancheng didn't care about his illness, so he didn't answer Gu Tianya at all, he smiled gently, and said very leisurely: "After coming to Hebei this time, I feel very satisfied, I see your Gujia Village full of vitality, I see the smiles on the faces of those working people, I listen to their expectations, listen to their vision, they are talking about the ground, they also talk about cattle, they look forward to the arrival of spring, they can open up the wasteland and farm early, it's good, it's good......"

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Gu Tianya and asked, "You have recovered the acres of land in eight villages, how are you going to give these lands?" ”

Gu Tianya didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly replied: "If a family has two dings, they can get 100 acres of land." ”

Li Jiancheng was obviously stunned, and frowned: "Hebei Province has been plagued by military disasters for many years, and there are probably very few surviving men. ”

Gu Tianya spoke again and explained: "I count women, children, and old widows as all strong men, and everyone will be given a field of rations. ”

Li Jiancheng was immediately satisfied, and nodded again and again: "This is good, this is very good." ”

Suddenly, he asked, "What about the cow?" How are you going to divide it? ”

This time, Gu Tianya pondered slightly, and then slowly spoke: "Four thousand five hundred cows, which can meet seven or eight counties, but for the time being, I can't do it that big, so we must start from Miyun County, and according to the standard of three hundred acres of land and one cow, it will be distributed to the people of eight villages first." ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned again, and said: "If a family has two dings, they can get 100 acres of land, doesn't this mean that three families can share a ploughing cow?" Isn't it a bit of a waste to allocate like this? ”

"Big brother, it's not a waste!"

Gu Tianya suddenly spoke, his tone was a little difficult, and said, "Because there are many widows in Hebei." ”

After finishing speaking, he explained and said: "The widows are all women, and their physical strength is difficult to compare with that of strong men, so they must be given more cattle to ensure that the land can be cultivated. They're going to think of themselves as ......."

Li Jiancheng's face was pale, and he subconsciously said: "Use people as cattle and animal power!" ”

Gu Tianya suddenly turned his head away, as if he didn't want Li Jiancheng to see his eyes reddened, and said: "When I was young, my mother used to be a cow, she pulled the heavy wooden pear, and regarded herself as an animal. I'll never forget that my mother's shoulders were all peeled. ”

Li Jiancheng stood stunned.

Gu Tianya said again: "Although now that I have grown up, my mother doesn't have to pull pears anymore, but there are still many women in Hebei, and their children are as young as I was back then, so they will also be like my mother, and treat themselves as cattle ...... pulling pears to cultivate the land."

Li Jiancheng's face became even paler, as if his body was shaking, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and spit out two words, and said with difficulty: "People, cows!" ”

Person!

Cattle!

If there are not enough cattle after the field is granted, the widows will definitely think of themselves as cattle that pull pears.

He looked at Gu Tianya fiercely, and said solemnly: "Your distribution method is very good, and you deserve to be my brother-in-law." ”

This is a statement of approval of the distribution of the bullocks.

Gu Tianya was recognized by him, and his heart suddenly felt relaxed, and said, "You have a good heart, and you deserve to be my eldest brother." ”

Li Jiancheng laughed, pointed at him and said, "No wonder Erlang said that you are slippery, it turns out that your kid is really slippery." ”

He was obviously extremely pleased, and he appreciated Gu Tianya more and more, and suddenly he spoke again, this time finally asking the most important question, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the grain?" How to fix it? You said that you have already thought of a solution, but I am the most worried about this matter, big brother. ”

Gu Tianya took a deep breath and said with deep meaning: "As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you are familiar with all internal affairs, you must know that we actually have food reserves. ”

He deliberately bit the word 'grain storage' very hard.

What kind of character Li Jiancheng is, he guessed the answer almost instantly, and blurted out: "Are you talking about the former Sui granary?" You're eyeing the former Sui granary. ”

For some reason, his face turned cold, his eyes suddenly flashed with worry, and he said hurriedly: "This matter is dangerous." ”

Gu Tianya was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out why he was so nervous, even Li Shimin frowned slightly, feeling that the eldest brother seemed to be too cautious.

But at this time, she suddenly saw a figure rushing in at the door, it was Zhao Ning, her pretty face was full of urgency, she didn't greet the two brothers after she entered the door, but directly rushed to Gu Tianya's side, and said in a low voice: "Something happened." ”

Gu Tianya was shocked.

He had a faint sense of something wrong.

The thing that can make Zhao Ning so nervous must be related to him.
