Feng Daiwen only then understood, it turned out that Li Shimin didn't know that the two had broken through the relationship, so he couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat.

"Father, the queen mother doesn't have to care about her daughter, the Wei Chi family is willing to marry her daughter to be a child, just let her marry, anyway, it is their family who suffers, and outsiders will only say that their daughter is generous." Guang'an pulled the arm of the eldest grandson and said with a smile.

Guang'an was very happy to be able to get a strong reinforcement for the Feng family, and regardless of whether Feng Daiwen was willing or not, he immediately agreed.

"Humph! Cheap you stinky boy. Li Shimin teased his granddaughter while dissatisfiedly angry at Feng Daiwen.

The advantages were all taken advantage of by himself, and Feng Daiwen couldn't say anything, so he had to pretend to be arranged by Ren Jun and stand there.

"Come over to me! What are you doing standing there? Li Shimin handed Xiao Linglong to the eldest grandson and said to Feng Daiwen.

Feng Daiwen followed Li Shimin to the side hall, and the two sat down across a table.

"Tell me, what are your plans to continue to lead? Or stay in Chang'an to help me deal with government affairs. Li Shimin asked kindly and gently, no longer being stern just now.

"Erchen plans to go to Pingzhou, where Erchen has worked hard, and all the best food experiments are over there, and better results will be produced in a year or two." Feng Daiwen said without hesitation.

"Well, I believe in you, and I look forward to good news for me." Feng Daiwen has never disappointed Li Shimin, and has also brought great changes to Datang, these are all things he understands in his heart, and he agreed to Feng Daiwen's request without hesitation.

"Alas, it's a pity that Aiqing lacks skills, and many things are handled by you, and the effect is very different." Li Shimin sighed.

"My father has won the award, it's not that my son can do things better than others, in fact, it's because many things have obvious effects at the beginning, and they will be much slower in the later stage." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"Haha, having said that, you still have to take the time to pay attention to the Martial Academy, as well as the newly established research institute, to see if there is anything that needs to be improved." Li Shimin said with a smile that Feng Daiwen has never been arrogant and greedy for power, and Li Shimin has always been very satisfied, which is also one of the reasons for trusting him.

"Research Institute?" Feng Daiwen looked at Li Shimin puzzled and asked.

"It's to study everything that needs to be studied, many of which you proposed, there are four people in charge of Li Chunfeng, Yan Liben, Qingyun, and Qingshan, and a department composed of more than 1,000 Taoist priests, artisan workshop generals, folk craftsmen, craftsmen from the Western Regions, and Nanyang craftsmen, but I don't understand these either, so you go and see, I will give you a warrant, and everything will be done according to your wishes." Li Shimin explained carefully.

With Li Shimin's introduction, Feng Daiwen was taken aback, he had actually developed joint research and concentrated research, and his interest suddenly increased greatly, and he hurriedly agreed.

"In the past two years, I am very satisfied with the changes in Datang, which Aiqing has contributed to, the tax revenue in the first half of this year has been about the same as last year, four times that of Wude's eight years, and the materials obtained are at least twenty times, rough statistics, at least two million women are pregnant with children, which means that there will be 1 million more young people in 18 years, and millions more young people in 20 years, haha!" Li Shimin laughed happily.

"This is all the benevolence of God, tax reduction, and labor, so that the people can afford to raise their children." Feng Daiwen is also very satisfied with this data, as long as there is enough population to maintain blood, it can continue to expand.

"Haha, Aiqing's birth plan is very good, the establishment of the medical school also ensures the survival of newborn babies, and Datang has enough food, which is also everyone's confidence." Li Shimin was very happy when he mentioned this.

"It's a pity that there is still not enough food, and this year there are more than 1 million Japanese slaves, plus the captives of other tribes, so that the national treasury has never had enough food." Li Shimin continued dissatisfied.

"Father and emperor don't worry, just wait for two or three years, next year the Japanese slaves will be able to grow enough food, no need to be supported by the Central Plains, and if the son's estimate is good, this year Liaoxi will have a bumper harvest, and the output will increase a lot compared with last year." Feng Daiwen said confidently.

"It's a pity that natural disasters have continued every year in the past few years, otherwise it would be much better, the first year of Zhenguan, drought, flood, Zhenguan two years or drought, locust plague, this year's Guannai Road is a drought again, fortunately, a lot of new canals, wells, to get through the difficulties safely, Aiqing, you said that I was guilty of the sky, or the year name is wrong?" Li Shimin asked with a deep frown.

For Dong Zhongshu's divine right of monarchy, although it is conducive to ruling and fooling the people, it is also easy to be used by Confucianism, once there are natural and man-made disasters, that is, the emperor is immoral, has done something wrong, and needs to ask for guilt, Feng Daiwen is deeply disgusted.

"Why should my father think too much, the world is so big, there are many natural disasters in many places every year, this is a normal phenomenon, and it is just a minor natural disaster.

This is the change of the earth in which we live, and there are certain laws, these need to be studied, the father can go to find historical materials, with records, the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, the entire Central Plains has a lot of natural disasters, and it is mostly snow disasters. Feng Dewen explained.

"You mean that because of natural disasters, man-made disasters are caused?" Li Shimin asked.

"This is one reason, natural disasters cause food shortages, people can not survive, naturally will rebel, but the family control too much land, backward farming methods, not enough food is not enough for this is one of the reasons.

But these do not exist in Datang, we have enough land, our eyes are more open, and there are many excellent grain seeds, and they are constantly getting better.

As it stands, we will be able to find enough land even in a thousand years. Feng Dewen explained.

"So how do you control the family's encroachment on land?" Li Shimin was very satisfied with Feng Daiwen's different opinions, and he also liked Feng Daiwen's suggestion, because he was not mixed with selfishness.

"This is also very easy to solve, in the future, Datang will have more land to collect taxes, such as a person's ten acres of private land, not allowed to buy and sell, after the death of the government to take back, this is not to pay taxes, other excess land must be taxed, the family population is large, more than the upper limit must also be taxed, this is naturally restricted, if they like, they can give them more, as long as they are willing to pay taxes." Feng Daiwen said lightly.

"Yes, if the people have private land that cannot be bought and sold, they will naturally not starve to death, and other people like land, as long as they pay more taxes, it doesn't matter, and as for a large amount of ownership, the court is also happy to see it." Li Shimin clapped his palms and said approvingly.

"Father is wise, although farming is a way out, but it is not as good as business, and the top families will inevitably be in business in the future, so Erchen suggested that the Ministry of Commerce set up a tax study to customize different taxes for different goods." Feng Daiwen suggested.

"Alas! Every time I talk to you about something, there will always be some more departments, and now Datang has seven or eight more departments than before. Li Shimin patted his forehead and said.

Thank you for chasing the shadows, flying at your fingertips, big brother's monthly pass, thank you for your support.
