Chapter 213 [Buying Population with Gold]

Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial capital of the country, the ancients also had a holiday, there is a special name called Xiu Mu, Xiu Mu does not need to go to the court, both the minister and the emperor will have a holiday.

Although it is a holiday, but it should be busy, for example, Li Shimin has to stay in the imperial study early in the morning, dealing with a lot of twists and turns that have not yet been approved, seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, the twists and turns reported from all over the country are not very good, the emperor suddenly sighed, and muttered bitterly: "When will the Tang Dynasty be able to have enough food and clothing." ”

After that, he was a little uninterested and continued to review the folds, so he simply stood up and stretched his waist, and was about to call an attendant to serve him tea, when he suddenly saw some shadows on the ground at the door.

The shadow was the shadow of a person, obviously deliberately exposed for the emperor to discover.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud, and said to the door: "Guanyin, isn't it you?" Come three times a day, and you're not annoyed. ”

"It's not a concubine, it's not a concubine this time."

The voice of the eldest grandson queen was obviously at the door, but the answer was to open her eyes and say nonsense, but when she saw the figure flashing, the queen pulled Concubine Yang to show her figure, and said again: "It's not that the concubine is coming, it's Concubine Yang's sister who makes the concubine irritable, she ran to the concubine's dormitory early in the morning and cried, and the concubine had no choice but to lead her to Your Majesty." ”

"Humph!"

Li Shimin is so shrewd, how can he not see through the queen's careful thoughts, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture at the door, and said with a little helplessness: "Come in, don't be at the door, you come at least three times a day these days, are you still afraid that others will accuse you of entering the imperial study?" ”

The queen and Concubine Yang were a little surprised, but they still lifted the corners of their skirts and stepped into the threshold, and after entering the door, they first refuted themselves, pretending to be serious: "Your Majesty allowed us to come in." ”

Li Shimin rolled his eyes angrily.

The eldest grandson stepped forward first, and walked all the way to the table where the folds were reviewed, seemingly wanting to help the emperor sort out the folds, but in fact, a pair of eyes were purring and constantly probing.

Later, Concubine Yang also hurriedly followed, and said with her ears covered and stolen the bell: "Sister, let's go and serve Your Majesty first, let your sister handle these trivial matters, hey, Your Majesty's table is a little messy, and you have to classify the folds, and it is best to sort them according to the reports from all over the place, so that it can be convenient for Your Majesty to approve." ”

Saying that he and the eldest grandson queen did it together, he carefully began to sort the folds on the table, which seemed to be very attentive, but in fact, his eyes kept purring, obviously trying to find something, but it turned out to be even more messy.

"Alright, alright!"

Li Shimin waved his hand helplessly, and said: "If you want to find Hebei's report, say it directly, don't pretend to clean it up, I will tell you the truth, there is no Hebei today." ”

"What about Shandong?" Concubine Yang blurted out.

Li Shimin was even more helpless, but still said: "There is no one in Shandong." ”

The queen and Concubine Yang were suddenly deflated, and they looked listless when they cleaned up their memories.

Li Shimin watched coldly, watching the two little women acting there, obviously disappointed, but pretending to be indifferent.

This made the emperor very interesting.

Li Shimin suddenly spoke: "Although there is no folding, there are a few copies of the bird book, but the concubines are not allowed to read the major events of the court......

"Yikes!"

The two women suddenly burst into surprise.

The queen's eyes rolled, and her eyes were handed to Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine looks at you very tired, you stay up late to review the recital, it hurts your eyes very much, why don't you let the concubine help you read, you can listen to it next to you?" ”

"Help me read?"

Li Shimin seemed to be smiling, and said lightly: "No need, it's just a few copies of the bird biography, and I can barely support reading it." ”

Concubine Yang choked.

She looked at the queen pitifully.

In the end, it was the eldest grandson empress who had the courage, and suddenly raised her feet and walked in front of the emperor, stretched out her hand forward, and said to Li Shimin: "As for the family letter of the concubine's son, please take it out quickly." ”

That's a clever one.

doesn't say that the birds pass on the book, but it says the son's family letter, but it is a slight change of words, which has cleverly avoided the shackles of the palace concubines not to be involved in political affairs.

Of course, this is what Empress Changsun can do, if she changes someone, she will definitely not have the guts, even if Empress Changsun is like this, it depends on Li Shimin's mood.

Li Shimin is obviously in a good mood today.

But when he suddenly reached into his arms, he had a wicked smile on his face, and said proudly: "I guessed that you would come, so I hid the bird biography first, hum, I want to find it from the fold, but you can't find it after looking for a year." ”

These words were tantamount to making fun of the two women's acting just now, and both the queen and Concubine Yang were a little blushing.

However, the two women were anxious to hear the news of the child, and at this time, where could they care about joking with the emperor, Empress Changsun stretched out her hand and grabbed the few copies of the handbook, and did not forget to cover up a sentence in her mouth, and said like a thief: "The concubine looks at the family members given by her son, and I don't know what the slave wrote in the letter." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin suddenly took the book back again, and said solemnly: "This time the book is about the right thing, so let me read it to you, otherwise you will read it privately, and you will be attacked by the courtiers if it is passed out." ”

The two women glanced at each other, and hurriedly came over and pinched their shoulders and knocked their backs, their movements were extremely gentle, and they tried to please their husbands.

Li Shimin enjoyed it very much, so he slowly unfolded the biography, and read the first one first: "The son of the emperor has played his father, the trip has arrived in Fanyang, and Li Ke's brother is with him, and he will come to Hebei if he does not go to Shandong." ”

After four sentences, this one is finished.

Empress Changsun was a little dissatisfied, and Concubine Yang was even more worried, and couldn't help but say: "Why didn't Ke'er go to Shandong, this is a big mistake against the emperor's order." ”

As she spoke, her delicate body trembled, and her pretty face gradually turned white.

Li Shimin saw that she was so timid, and had to be appeased: "Although Li Ke was named the king of Lu, but he accepted the jurisdiction of the Bohai State, he did not go to Shandong but went to Fanyang, presumably it was a request made by the lord of the Bohai State, this matter is not considered a violation of the emperor's order, Concubine Yang, you don't need to worry about it." ”

Concubine Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin took out another copy of the biography and recited: "The son-in-law Li Ke told his father that the trip had been turned back from the Liaohe River to Shandong. ”

This one is shorter, only two sentences, although the bird biography is fast, but the disadvantage is that it cannot be written in detail, so it is simple and concise, and generally only the most important things are reported.

Concubine Yang was obviously a little surprised after hearing this, and couldn't help but say again: "I said I went to Fanyang just now, why did I say that I would return to Shandong after a while?" ”

Her eyes sparkled and she looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had already read all the biography, and said without anxiety at this time: "Don't worry, wait for me to read the next one." ”

As he spoke, he picked out another handbook and continued to read: "The son-in-law Li Ke told his father that the land of Qilu was extremely poor, and he was ordered by the lord of Bohai to begin to gather the poor people, and this matter could not be done overnight, maybe two years or three years. ”

This has a lot of words, and it still involves real matters, although Concubine Yang wants to ask, but she is too timid to ask.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't want to rush her, and explained directly: "Li Yun wants to establish the Bohai State in the Northeast, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he will definitely face the problem of insufficient population. ”

"What else?"

Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin was reading Li Ke's biography, and she was immediately a little anxious about the situation of Li Zhi in Hebei Province, at this time the emperor only had the last biography in his hand, and the queen was very worried that this copy was also Li Ke's.

Li Shimin smiled, unfolded the last biography and said: "This one is passed on by Hai Dongqing, so the biography can write a lot of things, Guanyin and the maid should not be impatient, and the young slave is living well in Hebei." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was even more impatient, urging: "Your Majesty, read quickly! ”

Li Shimin looked helpless, so he could only recite: "Erchen told his father, I am very busy in Fanyang City, I read at night, and I have to inspect during the day, do you know my father, there are two more cities in the north of Fanyang City, which were established by the people themselves, living Han people, but also living Turkic people, we Fanyang specially formulated laws, Han and Turkic people encourage intermarriage, there is a conspiracy here, Erchen feels very excited every day......

Conspiracy?

Empress Changsun couldn't help but worry and said, "The immature slave is so young, will he be pitted." ”

Li Shimin sneered, pretending to be displeased: "Guanyin, do you still want to continue listening?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly apologized and said shyly: "Your Majesty, don't blame, the concubine will never dare to interrupt you again." ”

Li Shimin continued to recite the legend: "Father, our law is as follows: if the Turks marry a Han girl, then they must hand over ten bullocks as a punishment, although this punishment is very serious, but the Turks will be qualified to do business in Fanyang, so they are willing to be punished, but the punishment feels that they have made a profit." The other side of the law is that Han men marry Turkic women, and directly reward five guan money as marriage funding, if they can give birth to a baby, they will also give five guan money as a reward, those Turkic women especially want to marry Han people, because ten guan money has been able to buy a house in Fanyang New Town, they don't have to work hard to graze, they can follow the man to learn farming. ”

Li Shimin stopped at this point and explained the truth to the two women: "This is a policy of national integration, and there will be no Turks in 50 years." ”

Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Yang nodded again and again, and praised each other: "Difficult King Zhao... Uh, no, it's the lord of the Bohai Sea, no wonder the lord of the Bohai Sea would say that the Turks can't win but they can marry. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said with a slight meaning: "Fifty years later, the entire grassland will be the children of the Han people." ”

Empress Changsun looked at the legend and found that there were still many words underneath, so she couldn't help but urge her husband: "Your Majesty, read it again, read it again." ”

Li Shimin coughed, unfolded the biography and said: "I also want to tell my father, we found a huge gold mine in the northeast, it is a map given by the eldest brother, according to the map, Suoji has checked it, and now three batches of craftsmen have been dispatched, and 5,000 people have been sent to go, the gold mine has gradually produced, and it can dig more than ten catties of gold every day, and the eldest brother said that this gold mine can be dug for a thousand years......"

Hiss!

Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Yang gasped.

Digging more than a dozen catties of gold a day is a huge amount of thousands of catties a year, which is already shocking, but it can continue to dig for a thousand years.

What kind of gold mine is that, and the amount of mineral deposits is so huge.

"Your Majesty......"

Empress Eldest Sun suddenly spoke, slightly hesitating: "This gold mine is so huge, I don't know what the Lord of the Bohai Sea says?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at her, and said in a satisfied tone: "The stinky boy also sent me a letter, which is very simple, only five words, two and one add five." ”

21 add 5.

That is, five or five to half.

Empress Eldest Sun became excited for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is about to take off, what a great wealth this must be." ”

Li Shimin smashed his mouth, and said with envy: "The Bohai Kingdom is richer, but it's a pity that that stinky boy spends money not properly, he wants to use gold to buy people, and what he buys is still the Black Water Barbarian Soldiers......"
