Wen Erba took out a plan and said to everyone: "The first five-year plan is expected to complete the construction of major railways and highways in the north-south vertical and east-west horizontally, as well as the improvement of basic commerce and industry. The second five-year plan will focus on improving the quality of life of the people. First, the gradual reduction of agricultural taxes until it reaches zero; Second, vigorously develop overseas trade, expand the scope of commerce, and gradually replace agricultural taxes with commercial taxes; Third, we should improve social security such as medical care, pension and education, encourage childbirth, and promote population growth. ”

Wenyi continued: "What is related to you is foreign export trade, which is a bulk commodity transaction, and ordinary businessmen can't play it. But the prerequisite is to lay a solid foundation for Datang! If things have been gone for more than half a month in our Datang territory, then what profit is there to be made? Therefore, at this stage, please focus on domestic construction. ”

The pie of literary and artistic paintings is big and round, which has aroused everyone's mouth. All of you here are smart people, and you have a clear sense of priorities. Everyone wiped their saliva and said in unison: "We will do our best!" ”

At this time, a somewhat faceless head of the family stood up and said: "Qi Qi Wenxiang, but there is another thing that is quite a headache, I don't know if there is a solution?" ”

"Please."

The man arched his hand and said: "Liu Chengji, the head of the Liu family in Xiaguan, was lucky to take over a section of the railway project, and there were more than 800 prisoners of war under him. According to the order of Wenxiang, he did not dare to withhold the dry food of the prisoners of war, and he was full of two meals a day. But the food stored in the family has been exhausted in just a few months, and there are not a few families in the same situation as my family, and now a bucket of rice in Chang'an has risen to 5 yuan, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be a danger of running out of food! ”

Wenyi thought for a while and said, "I really don't know about this matter, but don't worry, I have a way to deal with it." In the near future, I will put a large amount of grain into the Guanzhong area to stabilize the grain price at about 3 Wen. As for the specific measures, literature and art did not say it clearly.

The two most urgent problems have been solved, and the rest are some trivial matters, literature and art are too lazy to care about these, under the pretext that it is too late today, and there is something to find Li Ke tomorrow! Lost all of them to his own apprentices.

Early the next morning, Wen Yi brought a report and a large number of gifts into the palace. Li Shimin looked at the literature and art of getting up early curiously, and always had a bad feeling that a weasel was greeting the chickens for the New Year. Without waiting for the literary and artistic salute, he said directly: "Boy, talk about good things quickly, and bad things can be rolled!" ”

Literature and art: "Eh, Your Majesty, it's a good thing, a great thing!" ”

Li Shimin didn't believe it at all, and made a heavy "um" to signal that he had something to say quickly.

Wenyi obediently presented the report in his hand: "Your Majesty, this is the transaction report that I sent an ocean-going fleet to the extreme west last year, please take a look." ”

Li Shimin was also taken aback when he saw the big number above: "87.5 million taels!" You kid made so much money at once! ”

Wen Yi replied: "Your Majesty, the fleet set out at the beginning of the spring of last year, and sailed westward along the coastline, and it took more than a year to reach the European countries in the far west in the early summer of this year. Passing through the southern countries, the Singapore Strait, and India, they arrived in the southeast of the Kingdom of Sasani, established a forward observation post on an uninhabited island, and then divided into two groups, one by boat, sailed around Africa, sailed to the city of Paris in Neustria, and then turned back into the Mediterranean Sea and docked near the city of Rome. The other group disembarked and changed to horse-drawn carriages to join the fleet through Isfahan, Damascus, Constantinople of the Byzantine Empire, Vienna, and Rome. Then return to Datang at full speed, and now sail through the Singapore Strait to Shanghai in a short time. ”

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" Now you don't have to worry about money, but the Americas will also be done! ”

Wen Yi smiled: "At this time, naturally, the minister came to ask His Majesty for a favor. ”

"You want grace? You don't want to give you the title of marquis, do you regret it? ”

Wenyi shook his head and said: "There are a total of 570 people on this voyage, four ocean-going ships, 26 people were reduced due to combat, 39 people were reduced due to illness, a total of 65 people. They are the pioneers in exploring the world and deserve the highest glory, so I would like to ask Your Majesty for permission to build a shrine of merit for the fallen soldiers! ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "They are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty, and they deserve to enjoy the incense of eternity, and I am right." But isn't a small merit shrine a little too small? I want to build a magnificent merit shrine next to the Taimiao, and enshrine all the tablets of the heroic spirits who have shed blood for the Tang Dynasty. What do you think? ”

Wenyi recalled the location of the Taimiao Temple, and couldn't help but have a bold idea in his heart: "Your Majesty, why don't we make a big one this time!" Yongxing, Anxing, Chongren and Shengye Fang next to the temple were all demolished, and a memorial shrine of the sages of the past dynasties was built to worship the sages of the Han nationality in the past dynasties; Build a hundred family ancestral halls to worship the ancestors of various industries; Build a shrine dedicated to all the heroic souls who sacrificed their lives for the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Shimin shouted excitedly: "Okay! However, the land of Sifang is still a little small, and Yongjiafang and Xingqing Palace will be demolished together! I want the world to remember their glory! ”

Literature and art arched his hand: "The minister receives the order!" ”

The two discussed and decided, and Li Shimin summoned the Hanlin scholar to draft the holy decree, and the matter was decided.

At this time, Wenyi presented a beautiful sandalwood box to Li Shimin. Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, this kid gave money and gifts, and the picture was very big!

Li Shimin didn't open the box and asked directly: "Do you kid still have something to ask for?" ”

Wen Yi replied: "Your Majesty, this is my latest nano battle armor, can you try it first?" ”

Li Shimin knocked on the imperial case and shook his head and said, "You kid must have something!" Send a fortune first, and then send a battle armor, with bad intentions! Tell me what is going on, or I'd rather not want this armor. ”

Wenyi rubbed his hands and said: "The minister wants to take Shu'er to live in Bermuda for a period of time, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Li Shimin waved back and asked, "But do you want Shu'er to accompany Yuanba?" ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "During the time I was on the island, although my father-in-law didn't mention Shu'er much, I could see that he missed Shu'er deeply. Please also ask my uncle for permission. ”

Li Shimin touched his beard and said, "Reason, I need a clear reason." ”

Wenyi Daxi said: "The reason boy has already thought about it, so he said that Shu'er misses the emperor, so he is ready to go to the south to serve the emperor for 3 years." ”

Li Shimin was furious: "3 years! You're too much! ”

The literary stall spread his hands: "Uncle, I can't help it, my father-in-law said that Shu'er is not allowed to propose marriage before 18." So the kid can only find a way to drag it back. ”

Li Yuanba's name is really easy to use, and Li Shimin finally agreed to the literary request after thinking about it for a long time. not only accepted the two tributes of literature and art, but also arbitrarily added many unreasonable demands. If you ask for it, you will be exploited! Literature and art responded with tears.

It's not over to get Li Shimin, there is a big guy who is more difficult than him! Literature and art came to the Lizheng Hall with a token in hand. The little palace maid stopped him and said that Empress Changsun was doing yoga. Wenyi had to wait outside the door, and after about half an hour, Wenyi, who looked down and counted the ants, was interrupted by Jiaohu behind him. Wenyi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked back, and called softly: "Shu'er." ”

Shu'er was also overjoyed, but there was a little beauty beside her, so she had to shyly nod to Wenyi and take the little beauty's hand into the Lizheng Palace. After a while, a little palace maid came out and said to Wenyi: "Prime Minister Wen, the queen mother announced your entry." ”

Literature and art smiled like a chrysanthemum, got a haircut, and strode towards the palace of happiness with a haircut and a whole dress. hurriedly saluted the eldest grandson queen, and looked up to find Shu'er, but unfortunately there were only the dignified queen and the little beauty in the palace. The little beauty couldn't help but show two small dimples when she saw the eyes of the literary radar scanning around, and smiled: "Brother-in-law, are you looking for Sister Shu'er?" ”

Wenyi smiled embarrassedly: "Changle, don't talk nonsense, I'm here to give a gift to the queen." "With Shu'er, it was Princess Changle, who was 6 years old and had a marriage contract with the eldest grandson Chong. When the little princess heard that there was a gift, her big eyes immediately flashed and many little stars blinked and looked at literature and art, as if to say, "It's all this princess's!" ”

Wenyi put the remaining gifts picked by Li Shimin in front of the eldest grandson Empress one by one and said with a smile: "These are all gifts for Niangniang, please accept it with a smile." ”

Empress Changsun stroked Changle's little head and said with a smile: "Changle, your brother-in-law must be a treasure when he makes a move, you go and see if you like it." ”

Changle sweetly agreed, and quickly opened the gift box. Arthur had scavenged so many treasures on Earth for thousands of years, all of which were worth experimenting with were put into his laboratory warehouse, and the rest were piled up in a dilapidated room in his backyard. When Wenyi came back, he went to the backyard warehouse and moved most of it in one go!

Changle will select a pink box, remove the package in three or two, and immediately scream! Empress Changsun was startled, patted Changle's buttocks and said, "What is the little girl doing?" ”

Changle held a string of pearl bracelets in both hands for Empress Changsun to see: "Queen Mother, look at it!" What a beautiful bracelet! ”
