Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are the main advisers under Li Shimin, and Fang Xuanling are collectively called "Fang Mou Du Xuan", like Li Shimin's left and right hands, and they are also the first planners of the Xuanwumen Change.

Although Fang Mou Du Duan occupies an important position, they are all soap hats and cloth shirts, and they are dressed in a simple manner. It is hard to imagine that such a figure would be the famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a long figure, three locks of long hair under the chin, and a graceful manner, he must have been a person who fascinated a large number of beautiful girls when he was young

Du Ruhui is a few years younger than Fang Xuanling, but he looks older than the other party, he is tall and thin, with long hands and feet, an ancient face, a wedge, a pair of eyes that seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making the whole person look like an otherworldly charm. It gives people a taciturn, yet unfathomable feeling. It's just that he looks tired, there is indescribable tiredness in his eyes, and his face is a little unhealthy flushed.

Li Shimin saw that Luo Tong had been staring at Du Ruhui left and right, which made Du Ruhui nervous, and scolded with a smile: "Do you see people like this?" However, you can make Du Aiqing nervous, which can be regarded as a skill. ”

"Master Du has a lot of diseases, and there are many of them, if they are not treated in time, they will only have a life span of three or five years at most."

Among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Du Ruhui ranked third, second only to Sun Wuji, the chief of Zhao, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian. You must know that Du Ruhui and Tang Wude only became Li Shimin's staff in the first year, and Zhenguan died of illness in four years, which only added up to more than ten years. In Li Shimin's core lineup, he belongs to the late joiner and the earliest person to die. It can't be compared with the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who have accompanied Li Shimin for more than 30 years.

But in this short period of more than ten years, Du Ruhui was actually in the top three of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, which shows how important he is to Li Shimin!

Du Ruhui's premature death is really a loss for Datang! Since Luo Tong knew, he naturally would not let this famous virtuous man die young in history.

"The virtuous nephew is alarmist!" Du Ruhui disagreed.

Although Li Shimin didn't believe that Luo Tong was proficient in medical skills, he couldn't sit still, Fang Du came in together, Luo Tong didn't say that Fang Xuanling had a problem, but said that Du Ruhui had a problem, and concluded that he only had a life span of three or five years, which is a big problem!

Fang Du is his indispensable right and left hand, and he also needs them to help him build an unprecedented great empire, and the loss of any of them is a loss that Datang cannot afford

"This body can't tolerate the slightest carelessness, Luo Tong is not a person who speaks falsely, he must have a basis for saying such things, such as Brother Hao, you can let him diagnose the pulse and take a look!"

"Yes! It's better to believe what you have than what you don't have! Fang Xuanling also persuaded.

Seeing this, Luo Tong also knew a lot of words, and said busily: "Look and hear, ask and cut, and the doctor will diagnose the four things." The boy did see from the visit that adults have hidden dangers, as the so-called sympathy is born to the heart, and the changes in each organ on our face are reflecting the recent situation of the five internal organs. Judging from Lord Du's face, it is obvious that there is a liver problem. Lord Du didn't feel pain, but the liver didn't feel pain, and when you felt pain, it was a sign that it was eight or nine points bad, and then the big thing was gone! I also hope that adults will not follow the example of the ancients and avoid medical treatment. ”

Luo Tong didn't brag, and he really would! He is good at asking questions, although he will see the diagnosis, but he will never see the problem at a glance, he knows that Du Ruhui's body is not good, so he watched it in a targeted manner, and this look really saw the problem.

If it was elsewhere, Du Ruhui really didn't bother to pay attention to it, but now Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling are trying their best to persuade him, and Li Shimin has an attitude of not giving the disease and not discussing the right thing, and he handed over his wrist to Luo Tong for treatment at the moment.

Luo Tong saw some clues at the beginning, and under careful diagnosis and treatment, Du Ruhui's forehead couldn't help but break out a little cold sweat.

Luo Tong, this kid, actually made it clear that there would be inexplicable pain somewhere in his body, and then he honestly began to cooperate.

Seeing that Du Ruhui began to accept cooperative treatment, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell! Looking at Luo Tong's gaze, he was also shocked, Qin Shiwu can still have talent, but calligraphy and medical skills are by no means a year or two, this guy is only sixteen years old, he seems to be omnipotent, which is too amazing.

These people are all elites and prodigies that are rare in a century, but they are weaker than Luo Tong.

Luo Tong made a careful diagnosis, prescribed a prescription for conditioning, and explained some matters to be paid attention to.

Du Ruhui's problem is not big now, and it can be recovered by conditioning! The reason why it is like this is because Du Ruhui is a workaholic, he has worked day and night all these years, he has overdrawn his vitality, so that the liver has missed the time to discharge toxins from the body, if it continues like this, he will have to suffer from liver cancer.

Although Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Princess Changle don't know what cancer is, they can still hear it in the early and late stages! Especially Li Shimin, when he knew that Du Ruhui's illness was caused by hard work, he asked Fang Xuanling to inform Mrs. Du on his behalf, and asked Mrs. Du to supervise Du Ruhui and make him have to rest on time.

Du Ruhui was moved and funny, his wife and Mrs. Fang are good sisters, just as powerful, now with Li Shimin's dictation, he can't eat him to death? It's a bit depressing to think about.

After getting Du Ruhui's matter, Fang Xuanling offered what Luo Tong wanted: "Virtuous nephew, this is the grain tax situation of all provinces in the world since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, however, the world has not been unified in the past few years, and some places are nearby." ”

"There are two adults!" Luo Tong saluted, and then looked at the statistical details.

The details record the grain taxes in various places, from high to low, and list the amount of grain invited from all over Datang from the most to the smallest. The first place in the ranking is Bashu, followed by Guanzhong, then Xiangfan, then the Central Plains, and then Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Jiangnan he cares about the most is located outside the top fifteen.

The next few pages are the detailed list of grain handed over by various localities last year, the year before last, and the year before last.

The top few have changed, sometimes Guanzhong, sometimes Bashu, sometimes Central Plains.

Jiangnan's is always outside the fifteenth.

Luo Tong originally wondered why Jiangnan would be so behind, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the Tang Dynasty had a very enlightened system in terms of grain tax, and they did not force the peasants to hand over as much grain as they wanted, but according to the harvest, according to a certain proportion of how much grain. Therefore, the quality of the people's harvest is directly related to the amount of grain handed over.

Guanzhong, Bashu, Xiangfan, and the Central Plains are not only famous grain producing areas, but also famous metropolises and densely populated places. There are many people who cultivate here, and naturally there is a lot of grain handed in.

Jiangnan is remote and sparsely populated, which is naturally inferior to places with large populations. Perhaps it is because of this that people ignore the potential that Jiangnan has already shown.

In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can still see the clues.

The grain handed over by Jiangnan was not the first, and even the top 15 could not be entered, but the grain handed over by Jiangsu-Zhejiang Province, which had only 180,000 peasants, exceeded the constant amount of grain in many areas with 500,000 peasants.

Although the total amount of Jiangnan has always been inferior to that of other places, in terms of average value, Jiangnan is far ahead in all aspects, and it is deservedly the first place in succession; Last year, the per capita food tax paid was almost the top five combined, which is definitely a staggering amount. In other words, as long as the population is equal to one of the top five, the grain tax paid in Jiangnan alone is the sum of the top five.

When everyone saw that Luo Tong was sometimes abrupt, sometimes contemplative, sometimes confused, and sometimes writing and drawing, they knew that he was counting the data he wanted, and they all waited silently.

It wasn't until Luo Tong closed the information and showed a clear smile that Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Have you ever seen any clues?" ”

Luo Tong handed over the data he listed, and said categorically: "I want money and food, and develop Jiangnan!" ”

As the old saying goes, "Jiangnan has been rich and prosperous since ancient times", this is both true and wrong, and this does not include the dynasties before the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Since the Song Dynasty, the center of gravity of China's development has been in the north, the Central Plains, and Guanzhong, which is why there are "those who win the north get the world", "those who get the Central Plains get the world", and "those who get Guanzhong get the world", but there is no saying that those who get the south of the Yangtze River get the world.

The real development of Jiangnan is because at the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin State occupied the Central Plains Guanzhong, and the Song Dynasty shrank in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jiangnan was developed in the real sense. Prior to this, there was no dynasty in Jiangnan that really spent its strength to develop in a meaningful way, so not many people knew the true potential of Jiangnan.

Others don't know, but Luo Tong knows that once the Jiangnan, South China, and Southwest China are developed, they will be economically better than Guanzhong, Central Plains, and Bashu!

It's just that at present, Datang is shouting about the lack of food, but on the other hand, it has no intention of developing and rectifying this treasure land in Jiangnan, and the court seems to have forgotten that Jiangnan is the territory of Datang!

Luo Tong understood that this was caused by the fact that the Tang Dynasty monarchs did not perceive the potential of Jiangnan, and thought that the transportation in ancient times was extremely inconvenient, and the Jiangnan in Guanzhong was thousands of miles away, and these people probably had never set foot in Jiangnan in their lives, so how could they know the true potential of Jiangnan.

Luo Tong wanted to talk about this problem yesterday, but he just thought that Jiangnan is not barren now, but it is definitely not as good as the Central Plains in Guanzhong. To develop this area, the manpower and material resources required will be no less than that of the North-South Grand Canal built by Yang Guang back then, and the results are not immediate! With the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, if Jiangnan is fully developed, it will undoubtedly be self-defeating and a waste of financial and material resources. As the so-called lessons from the past, the teachers of future generations! The lesson of the fall of the Sui Dynasty had only happened recently, and if he rashly proposed to develop Jiangnan, he would have been criticized for being incomplete. That's why I asked for this Datang grain tax breakdown.

All kinds of data are now recombined and compared by Luo Tong, and Jiangnan's advantages are suddenly presented in front of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.

In the face of factual evidence, there is nothing to hide!

Even the words of persuasion are saved!
