After Li Shimin returned to the palace, the accompanying Empress Changsun naturally returned together, and after the next dynasty, Merton did not leave, but joined Changle who came and went to the Lizheng Hall to pay homage to Empress Changsun.

"Queen Mother!" When Princess Changle saw the eldest grandson, she suddenly felt like a child, and the milk swallow threw herself into the arms of the eldest grandson.

Empress Changsun patted Princess Changle, who was like a little daughter, and comforted: "I am already married to a wife, how can I still look like a child." ”

"No matter how old a daughter is, she is a child in front of her mother." Princess Changle coquettishly said in her mother's arms, even if Princess Changle is married, she can still often enter and leave the palace and meet with Queen Changsun, I am afraid that she has never been separated for such a long time.

Although Empress Eldest Sun said blame, she couldn't help but have a happy smile on her face.

"Mother, the recent improvement has really improved a lot, it seems that Jiuhua Mountain is really good for my mother's body." Princess Changle carefully checked the pulse of Empress Changsun, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's true! The scenery of Jiuhua Mountain is pleasant, beautiful, coupled with the beautiful mountains and rivers, it is an excellent place for cultivation, although the queen mother is only there for two months, but also feels relaxed and happy. Empress Eldest Sun said with a happy face.

The eldest grandson queen has been in the palace for a long time, although the scenery in the palace is exquisite, but it will be boring to see it, and suddenly arrived at a picturesque treasure land, the mood is naturally different, correspondingly, the spirit is uplifted, and the body naturally recovers well, plus the brick road is extremely flat, and there is no longer the pain of boat and car fatigue, and it is much more comfortable to go out to play than before.

Princess Changle nodded with deep understanding, when she was on her honeymoon, she saw the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty for the first time, like a caged bird getting out of trouble, and she didn't know how happy she was.

The mother and daughter were talking intimate words on the side, telling about the scenery along the way, and Merton accompanied them, interjecting a few words from time to time, but they were also happy.

However, this harmonious scene did not last long, and soon, Li Shimin's figure appeared in the Lizheng Palace, seeing Princess Changle with a smile on her face, and seeing Mo Dun, she snorted coldly, Li Chengqian's reform post station Mo Dun contributed a lot behind the scenes, how could this be hidden from him.

"Father!" Princess Changle shouted coquettishly, relieving Merton.

Li Shimin was full of smiles on his face, and talked to Princess Changle and Empress Changsun for a while, and then got up and said, "You guys say this first, I have something to do with Moton." ”

Merton hurriedly got up and followed Li Shimin out of the Legislative Palace.

Princess Changle in the hall looked at the figure of Merton following Li Shimin, and couldn't help but show a worried look.

"The female university is not staying!" Empress Changsun looked at Princess Changle's expression and couldn't help but say in her heart.

"Don't worry, this is their way of exchanging feelings with their son-in-law, besides, with the queen mother here, what else can your father do?" Empress Eldest Sun comforted.

Princess Changle couldn't help but smile bitterly, I'm afraid there is no pair of sons-in-law in the world who get along like this.

"Merton, are you guilty?" As soon as he came out of the Lizheng Palace, he heard Li Shimin say coldly.

"Wechen is guilty." Merton honestly confessed.

When Li Shimin saw Merton, who was like hob meat, he was immediately angry, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "The prince has just been appointed to the post of supervising the country, and he is eager for meritorious service, I can understand!" And you? Before I left, I had already mentioned you, asking you to settle down a little, and it was good for you to unite with the prince to reform the station. ”

Merton had long known that there would be today's end, and he had already prepared his words, and said loudly at the moment:

"Your Majesty has been wronged! The reason why Weichen suggested that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should reform the post station is that he really can't bear to see that the post station that originally benefited the country and the people is not only covered with dust, but also has been losing money for many years, which is called the burden of the court, which is really a tyrannical thing! ”

"The pearl is covered with dust, and the sky is ruined! If you don't say that you are ugly today, don't try to get by. Li Shimin was not moved by Merton's exaggerated momentum at all, this is a common trick used by hundreds of officials in the court, if Li Shimin makes a fuss every time, I am afraid it is not too much to be shocked every day.

Merton took a deep breath and said: "In Weichen's view, the post station that was supposed to benefit the country and the people has become a bottomless pit for the court, and the post station that was originally enough to keep pace with the six ministries is now subordinate to the Ministry of War, but the official position is only five grades, and the post station is the most underestimated yamen in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Benefit the country and the people! It's enough to keep up with the six! Li Shimin frowned and looked at Merton, he didn't expect Merton to have such a high opinion of the post station, but he didn't know whether he was alarmist or really valued.

"Yes, the imperial court invests a huge amount of money and grain for the post station every year, and the results are few, and it is almost idle on weekdays, and the post station communication not only benefits the people of the world, but also allows the court to save a lot of expenses every year, isn't it beneficial to the country and the people." Merton raised his head.

Li Shimin said coldly: "What do I think, among them, your Mo family has benefited the most?" As far as I know, the ink magazine has been published throughout the world through the post station channel, and the benefits have been more than several times, you dare to say that your kid has no selfishness. ”

Morton suddenly aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty, this is wronged Weichen, the ink magazine has indeed benefited a lot with the help of the post station, but the Confucian magazine is not the same, and the Wei Chen for His Royal Highness the Prince, but the Mo family's express plan pallet out, but the loss is heavy!" ”

"Courier plan?" Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

Merton briefly talked about the express delivery mode of later generations, and finally regretted: "Weichen originally waited for the brick road in the world to be repaired, and with the help of the express delivery plan, the goods of Mojia Village were sold to the world, so that everyone in the world can enjoy the benefits of the Mo family and no longer be hoarded by merchants." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard Moton's huge express delivery plan, Mojia Village is rich in four-wheeled carriages, and if the brick road is unblocked, this express delivery plan is extremely feasible.

"So you will hide the clumsiness, split the express delivery plan, and hand over the communication business to the post station, but hide the most profitable logistics business yourself." Li Shimin asked.

Merton couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Back to Your Majesty, the most important task of the post station at the moment is to turn losses into profits, a letter is just a centimeter, thin and light, convenient transportation, with the existing post station facilities only need a little investment, can be easily realized, and logistics is not, big and heavy, need a large number of carriages and warehousing, first, my Datang brick road has not been repaired, the traffic is inconvenient, and secondly, the logistics investment is huge and can not be profitable in a short time, and the prince only has two months to ,.................."

Merton did not continue, and Li Shimin naturally understood that Li Chengqian was going to make some achievements within two months, and now it was rare to be able to balance the income and expenditure of the post station.

In fact, Merton still has some words not to say, the later generations of "post station" express can be criticized, slow speed not to say, but often lost, letters are not, easy to transport not to say, in addition to the recipient of the letter to others have no interests, naturally there will not be many postmen risk stealing letters, at most is to be stolen a stamp.
