Chapter 372: Small Talk
"I agree with you, and when you are ready, I will issue a decree to seal it!" Li Shimin replied with his hands in his arms, half-lying down.
"What are you going to do in a year's time? Don't tell me to stay in Liaoxi honestly. Li Shimin asked with squinted eyes.
"Hey, hey! Erchen just planned to stay in Liaoxi honestly, and took Guang'an and the children over, but he didn't accompany them well in the past few years. Feng Daiwen said with an embarrassed smile.
"Humph! It's a good thing for you to accompany Guang'an and the child, I agree, but to be honest, I don't believe it, it's a strange thing not to make something happen that year, the train in Liaoxi that doesn't use horse-drawn horses, can you build a road out of Chang'an. Li Shimin let out a cold snort from his nostrils and said sarcastically.
"Father, this is a wronged son, and everything that happened here is a good thing." Feng Daiwen opened his eyes and replied with an innocent look.
"It's a good thing, but my palace, it's been two years, and the progress is still so slow, Chang'an City is almost complete, and the foundation of the Longshou original palace has been laid." Li Shimin said unhappily.
Feng Daiwen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, after the war, Li Shimin remembered his palace again, as for the train, it happened that Liaoxi had been running for a few months, and there was no problem, the rest was only improvement, and it was also a good thing to build a railway for Chang'an.
"How can this build a palace for my father be sloppy, of course, you have to take your time, your sons will rest for a few days, and you will supervise them to speed up the progress after the year.
As for the railway train you mentioned, Erchen suggested that a road to Luoyang should be built first, so that many goods to Chang'an can come and go quickly, and the cost of the train road can be maintained, what do you think? Feng Daiwen thought about it and said.
"Can't be built in the city?" Li Shimin frowned, opened his eyes and asked.
"The train is as fast as a galloping horse, many of the people have never seen it, there are too many people in the city, it is easy to cause casualties among the people, and only the road to Luoyang is built, which is also because of Chang'an Luoyang, there are more people coming and going, and there are more people, which can maintain expenses and even make money, and other places must wait for the imperial court to be rich and built." Feng Daiwen explained.
"Well, just do as you say, but how expensive is this train, it won't be like a big ship, right?" Li Shimin nodded, shook his head and asked, For Feng Daiwen to do things, the speed of spending money is quite a headache, generally hundreds of thousands of yuan is not a thing, and the opening is a million yuan.
"There is no shortage of expenses, and it is necessary to keep going back and forth, and it is necessary to burn a lot of coal." Feng Daiwen explained.
"Hmmm! You have worked hard in the past few years, although I am rich in the world, but you are not short of wealth, so there is not much reward, but if you have any request, you can put it forward to me. Li Shimin sat up, took a closer look at Feng Daiwen's rough face, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder with a little emotion and said.
"My father has always trusted his sons, and he has also been very kind to the Feng family, and it is really difficult for the Feng family to repay the grace of the saint, how can there be too many requirements." Feng Daiwen's heart warmed, and he got up and said with emotion.
"It is easy to fight the country, it is difficult to sit on the country, after the founding of the country, I have been dealing with government affairs, and I have a deep understanding that in recent years, the country and the people are safe, the people are rich, and the treasury is abundant, which is an unprecedented prosperous era.
Whether it is the military or the government, you or the Feng family, are all for the country, and have no selfish intentions, this is very comforting, it is really rare, especially in the military, military schools, martial arts institutes, or fanatical believers, they can be regarded as my personal guards, so you have many soldiers and horses, I have never been worried, what do I think in the future, although I let it go. Li Shimin nodded, helped him sit down with both hands and said.
"It is difficult to repay the grace of the saint in case of the minister's liver and brain, he must do his best to repay the saint!" Feng Daiwen said movingly, although his original intention was for the people of the world and to promote the direction of history, Li Shimin's trust really made people have to be moved.
"Zhenguan five years than Zhenguan four years, grain income more than three percent, people's income increased more, as long as it is promoted to the new grain place, basically every family has surplus grain, and with the implementation of fruits, vegetables, poultry breeding, fish ponds and poultry breeding, so that many families have become rich, I visited dozens of counties near Chang'an, are very satisfied." Li Shimin smiled proudly and began to introduce the changes in Datang to Feng Daiwen, these are the specific data that Feng Daiwen does not know very well, after all, Liaoxi is definitely different from other places.
"Congratulations to my father, this is a prosperous scene, and it will definitely be more prosperous next year." The people were rich, and Feng Daiwen was also sincerely happy, and hurriedly congratulated him.
"To say that the richest is still your Zhuangzi in Wannian County, and the workshop family village established by your mother, not only work, but also raise fish, lotus roots, chickens, ducks and geese, vegetables and fruits, and sell them to make canned food, it can be said that they envy others, the previous war, nearly 100 villages, actually donated 100,000 yuan, which is richer than many businessmen before." Li Shimin exclaimed in disbelief.
"This is the father and the emperor, the mother and the queen have blessed the people, so that they can live a good life, so that the people spontaneously return the grace of the saints, this is an unprecedented thing, this is a deed that has been only available to the Ming Emperor through the ages, since ancient times, I am afraid that only the three emperors and five emperors have these grand scenes." Feng Daiwen smiled and patted his ass.
"Hey, hey! There is still a gap between the three emperors and the five emperors, and the world is the same, and I don't know when it will be done. Li Shimin smiled, he could see that he was in a very good mood, obviously Feng Daiwen's sycophants made him itch, but he still said modestly.
"The Book of Rites and Rites" has a cloud: the old man does not have only his relatives, nor does he have only his son. So that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, the widowed, lonely and the sick are all supported. Erchen thought that this was the world of Datong, and it would eventually be realized in the hands of his father. Feng Daiwen pondered for a moment, remembered a passage, and said sincerely.
"Haha! This is also the goal that I am working for, and I encourage it! Li Shimin laughed happily.
The two talked, talked, drunk, laughed wildly from time to time, and sang indulgently! I don't know when I fell asleep............
Just before Li Shimin set up a banquet, Li Ke and Li Tai went to the harem and each brought gifts to see his mother.
Concubine Yang had just finished eating and walked alone in the garden, and the palace maid followed from afar.
"See the mother! Look who's back! A waiter trotted to Concubine Yang with a smile on his face, and said respectfully pointing to the garden gate.
