There is some sadness in the world, perhaps only those who have experienced it can understand.

Li Chengqian's questioning is actually not wrong, after all, everyone knows that Li Yun has a wealth of more than 10,000,000 guan, even if he takes out 70 million in Hebei Province, according to common sense, there are at least 40 or 50 million.

Forty or fifty million!

It's still a huge amount of money that rivals the richest countries.

It's a pity that outsiders only see someone's scenery, and will never see the hard work behind the scenery, just like an old Chinese folk saying describes, the words summarized by the common people are always rich in life philosophy, what is this sentence? This sentence is: I only saw the thief eating meat, but I did not see the thief being beaten......

Isn't that appropriate?

Li Yun is like this now, belonging to the situation of light outside the donkey and eggs.

The house is full of people, maybe only Li Shimin and Empress Changsun can understand, why, the reason is very simple, those who are not at home do not know the price of firewood and rice.

Again, there is some sadness in the world, perhaps only those who have experienced it can understand it.

But seeing the emperor standing at the door and looking out, as if looking up at the stars in the sky, suddenly the emperor sighed lightly, as if muttering to himself, "Where did the rest of the money go?" I seem to be able to give an answer. ”

This seems to be helping Li Yun explain, and it seems to be admonishing Li Chengqian, but the emperor's intention is to let all the juniors in the house listen to it.

"Your lobby brother spent 70 million in Hebei Province, and the benefit is that I am the Tang Dynasty and the entire northern part of the Central Plains, Cheng Qian, you just questioned it, thinking that even if he spent 70 million and 50 million, it is very good, very good, I will not pursue your conscience first, I will tell you now why the remaining 50 million is gone......

Li Shimin's tone was very light, and he couldn't hear any angry taste, but everyone could feel the emperor's emotions, and it seemed that the emperor was suppressing a wave of anger in his heart.

But seeing that the emperor was still behind his back, still standing at the door looking up at the starry sky, he suddenly spoke: "In the sixth year of Zhenguan, in August, the third branch of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yun, who was named the lord of the Bohai Sea, developed outside the customs, white mountains and black waters, and was desolate in his eyes, Li Yun was alone, advanced to the primitive jungle, and then to Dada Ya, with the help of Xianhuiping's wife and crescent children, and collected more than one million people in only 60 days, and the Ya tribe was complicated, counting tens of thousands of ......."

There was a laugh in the room, and it seemed that the little wild cat was very happy and whispered praise to himself, and said proudly to people: "Have you heard, have you heard, this is praising me, this is praising the most powerful crescent moon." ”

Then I only heard a woman scold in a low voice, "Don't babble, you should look like you are married when you get married." ”

Then he listened to the little wild cat humming and chirping, and seemed to retort: "What do you say if my husband likes me, he never reprimands the liveliness of the crescent moon, Sister Cheng, what are you doing with a straight face." ”

Then, Cheng Chuxue said in a helpless voice: "Even if your husband likes your cuteness and cuteness, you have to see what kind of place this is, the family is discussing things, isn't it rude for you to suddenly interject?" ”

The little wild cat's somewhat sad voice finally sounded, and said weakly: "My voice is very small, I didn't affect anyone, I just feel very happy, because the emperor's uncle praised me just now......"

In all fairness, the voice of the little wild cat is indeed very low, this girl has a delicate personality, and she always can't suppress her thoughts, as soon as Li Shimin mentioned her just now, this girl immediately became happy and proud.

Cheng Chuxue's voice was also very low, although she scolded but with a hint of doting, obviously she didn't really scold the crescent moon, it was more like a protective admonition.

But after all, the two girls spoke, and it was interrupted when Li Shimin was speaking, if this kind of thing was left in the court, I am afraid that Li Shimin would immediately be furious, but this time Li Shimin was not angry, but glanced at the two girls with a smile.

The emperor did not pursue the little wild cat's fault, but only lightly praised and said: "Some children should be praised......"

As for who to praise, the emperor did not continue, but his tone changed slightly, and he started the previous topic again, and said to Li Chengqian and the others in a deep voice: "The Yan clan has been poor since ancient times, and your eldest brother has paid a staggering price in order to collect these people, salt, a cart by car to the northeast, cloth, door-to-door rotation, iron pots, free of charge from tribe to grain, grain has been used four times in a row, so many materials, how much do you have to spend......"

Li Chengqian subconsciously spoke, and couldn't help but say: "But the eldest brother has a greater harvest, he has millions of people in the Spirit, pay a little wealth, and win the hearts of countless people, the Lady is a natural warrior, the eldest brother can recruit millions of soldiers under his command at any time, if this matter is changed to a son, the son is also willing to throw a lot of money away!" ”

Li Shimin looked at him deeply, and suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Are you rich?" ”

Li Chengqian was stunned.

Li Shimin followed up and asked again, and said in a colder tone: "Even if you have money, are you willing to spend so much?" You just said that you are willing to throw a lot of money away, so do you know how much money Li Yun has sprinkled in the Yan clan? I'll tell you, at least 10 million ......."

Ten million?

This is another appalling number.

Li Chengqian was obviously shocked by this number, and it took a long time before he hesitated and said: "Maybe, maybe, maybe it won't be so much...... Big brother, he spends too much money with his hands and feet, and he doesn't have to be so good for the Ya people. Erchen heard that the people of the Yan Tatar have a rule of licking salt, which shows how poor these barbarians are, and they only need to give them a little less supplies, and they can buy thousands of lives fighting for me. ”

Li Shimin looked at this son calmly, and only after a while did he sigh softly and said, "This is the gap between you and him." ”

The emperor seemed to be a little disappointed in his son, but he still did not give up the teachings, and said: "You spend less money, you buy a person who sells your life, your eldest brother spends a lot of money, he buys a person who sells his heart, Cheng Qian, you remember, selling your life and selling your heart is a matter that a qualified emperor must know how to distinguish. ”

Li Chengqian only agreed, but when he lowered his head, a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't notice it for a while, but thought that his son had listened to the teachings, the emperor's face was very pleased, and he spoke again: "Accept the Yan Ya, Li Yun paid at least 10 million, this is just to accept it, and it will be supported later, before the founding of the Bohai Sea, the land has not been cultivated, but the Yan people have come out of the mountains and forests, and they have to consume countless grains every day, which is a huge expense, I guess it will not be less than a few thousand guan every day......

Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his head again, and subconsciously said: "It's only a few thousand, and there is no pressure on the eldest brother." ”

Li Shimin's face turned angry, and he scolded and asked: "Do you know what it means to wear a drop of water, you take out thousands of pieces every day to try it?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

The emperor was really angry this time, as if he had completely lost his enthusiasm for teaching his son, and everyone only listened to Li Shimin suddenly speed up his speech, and said loudly: "In the sixth year of Zhenguan, in October, Li Yun wrote to the court, to build a city here, in the same month, the construction of the city began, and millions of people spontaneously served as people's husbands, although the people did not want to be paid, but the materials for building the city had to cost money, I ask you, how much does it cost to build this Bohai City?" ”

The emperor seemed to question, but in fact, he didn't wait for everyone to speak, and said loudly again: "In the sixth year of Zhenguan, in December, Li Zhi, the king of Yan in Hebei Province, and Li Ke, the king of Lu in Shandong, jointly wrote to the court, and levied 1.5 million people to go out of the customs, and the huge amount of money spent on the migration of the people was at least a few million, after the people arrived in the Bohai Sea, Li Yun had to properly settle the people, he had to pay money every day, he was raising food every day, during that time, do you know how difficult it was for him? ”

Everyone in the room couldn't help but look at Li Yun, and their faces gradually showed sympathy, they used to only envy and envy Li Yun, thinking that this lobby brother enjoyed too much power, but now listening to Li Shimin's words one by one, everyone found that Li Yun was not too comfortable.

I only heard Li Shimin say loudly again: "Not only him, but even his wives are suffering, I once heard a secret report from the Baiqi Division, saying that Cheng Chuxue showed up for food, and held an auction in Fanyang City every day, and even had to accompany people to drink in order to raise food. ”

After questioning, Li Shimin spoke again, as if he was already a little excited, and suddenly roared: "If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you will never know the suffering of the emperors and princes." Is 10,000 a lot? One hundred and ten thousand are not enough for the emperor and the princes. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yun, and finally said: "Your eldest brother said that he is very poor now, and I am the one who feels the most sympathetic about this matter." ”

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at A-Yao, and said: "Your sister-in-law is full of sadness and pity, your queen mother is the one who feels the most about this matter, I and your queen mother, your eldest brother and your sister-in-law, the four of us are the four people who are under the most pressure in the world, because we not only have to take care of the small family, we also have to bear everyone, what are you, everyone is this world, what is the emperor, the emperor is not just enjoying power, the people are willing to accept the emperor's governance, that is because the emperor needs to protect his people, If you can't do this, what qualifications do you have to call an emperor? ”

At this time, Empress Changsun slowly got up, looked at Li Yun and Ayao with affection, and said softly to the juniors: "Eleven thousand and five million, your eldest brother is all spent on the people, his own pocket, is fine, before you came to Bohai, he still lived in a thatched house, he built countless courtyards for the people and homeless people, but he himself was not willing to live in those houses, your sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law also built their own thatched houses, even the palace, the same way to live, not a family does not know the price of firewood and rice, Governing the country and living at home is the same principle, money has to be spent on the blade, and the province has to save ...... to live."

When the queen said this, her eyes slowly scanned the juniors, especially Li Chengqian, and said earnestly: "You always envy your eldest brother's industry, but you don't know how difficult it is to run this industry, children, you still need to study hard." ”

The emperor and the empress, Li Yun and Ayao, and the empress borrowed Li Yun and his wife as the topic, and fiercely taught and tortured the envy and jealousy of the royal family present.

The atmosphere became a little oppressive.

……

Li Yun suddenly let out a long breath, and then with a gentle smile on his face, he gently patted the back of Ah Yao's hand, signaling Ah Yao to go back to his seat and sit first, he himself still stood at the door with Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Regarding the matter of spending money for the people, I will take the time to write a tutorial, if any younger brother or sister wants to understand, you can always ask me to borrow this tutorial, let's not mention the past today, we will only discuss the future." ”

Over there, Concubine Yang hurriedly stood up and shouted from afar: "Concubine Ben has already recorded a lot, can you read it to your own children first?" ”

Li Yun pondered for a while, looked at the emperor, Li Shimin also groaned, and then said: "Concubine Yang, don't swallow it privately, all children should be allowed to read the things you recorded, I have set a charter today, listed as the assessment of all princes and princesses, they must first read your record today, and then they are eligible to borrow Li Yun's writings, if anyone can master it first, I will send an army to help him establish a vassal state." ”

Wow!

The room was in an uproar.

Just because of Li Yun's tutorial of spending money for the people, will the emperor seal the second prince after the assessment?

All the royal juniors present, plus the mothers of those princes, even county kings like Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaogong's wife and princess, everyone was panting, and everyone's eyes became eager.

However, at this time, Li Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in the corner again, only to hear the voice of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as if curious, he deliberately asked Li Yundao: "Good grandson, you said earlier that there are two reasons......

Uh-huh?

Only then did everyone in the room recall that what topic Li Yun had become poor that had been said for a long time had led to it.

At the beginning, Li Yuan asked Li Yun how he would govern the Goguryeo people, and Li Yun replied that he would treat the Goguryeo people as half-people and half-slaves, give heavy production tasks, impose heavy taxes to squeeze output, and only give the Goguryeo people barely enough to eat, and not give them a leisurely life, and then Li Chengqian questioned whether this was not forcing people to rebel, and Li Yun replied for two reasons.

The first reason was that Li Yun said that he was very poor, but before he could explain it clearly, everyone tilted the topic to why Li Yun was poor.

Now Li Yuan suddenly spoke, obviously wanting Li Yun to turn the topic back.

is worthy of being the founding emperor, Li Yuan's intentions are actually very deep, this old man seems to ask Li Yun, but in fact, he is also thinking about teaching the next generation.

"Why do you want to oppress the Goguryeo people when you are poor?"

"You just said in the evening that the Goguryeo people will be your people!"

"Oppressing your own people because you are poor, it doesn't seem that this should be your Li Yun's character, right?"

Li Yuan deliberately used this kind of questioning to arouse the speculation and interest of the younger generation of the royal family.

Once a person has a strong curiosity about something, he will be extremely eager to understand it.
