Chapter 300 Chapter 26 The Human Heart
Being stirred up by Gao Ming like this, Li Shimin had no appetite for eating, and he immediately waved his hand at Liu Bing.
"Liu Bing, let people take everything down!"
"Yes!"
Liu Bing agreed, and then took the other eunuchs and palace maids to remove the leftovers, and only after Liu Bing and them went down did Li Shimin open his mouth to Gao Ming again.
"How's going on with Yantian?"
Gao Ming knew that Li Shimin was asking about the salt field he had in Fanyang, so after hearing Li Shimin's words, he immediately nodded.
"Well, it's going well, I received a letter from Lu Zhi a few days ago, saying that more than 100 salt ponds have been put into use, and there are hundreds more being dug, and at the latest at the end of the year, the salt produced by Fanyang Salt Farm will be able to supply the entire Datang, and the price of salt will inevitably plummet!"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin immediately nodded.
"Well, that's great!"
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, salt was not in the hands of the state, but in the hands of the family gatekeepers, and the money could not enter the treasury, so for Li Shimin, he hoped that salt would be cheaper, which was conducive to his rule over the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing Li Shimin nodding, the smile on Gao Ming's face became even brighter.
"Speaking of salt, I suddenly remembered one thing, Li Su and Li Yun have nothing to do in Chang'an now, it is better to send them to Jizhou and Yingzhou to be governors, and by the way, you can also help take care of my salt farm in Fanyang."
"Let Li Su and Li Yun go to Jizhou and Yingzhou to be governors?"
Hearing Gao Ming's suggestion, a trace of doubt flashed on Li Shimin's face, but he quickly reacted and grinned.
"Haha, Gao Ming, I think you let Li Yu and them go over to take care of the salt farm, but to guard against the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan, right?"
Seeing that Li Shimin broke through his thoughts with a word, Gao Ming immediately smiled and arched his hand towards Li Shimin.
"It is worthy of the King of Qin who was able to sweep the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, and my little idea was immediately seen through by you!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin likes others to praise him for his outstanding military achievements, so when he heard Gao Ming's flattery, he immediately laughed happily, and his face was full of pride.
"Jizhou is bordered by Qizhou in the south, and the Yellow River is the boundary, Yingzhou is bordered by Yizhou and Fanyang in the north, you can quickly gather soldiers and horses, San Lang is now the governor of Qizhou, and now you plan to let Liulang and Qilang be the governors of Jizhou and Yingzhou, plus Fanyang Lu's family is looking forward to you."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin raised his chin again.
"With them, even if the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan want to do something, they can only cross the Yellow River south and then detour to Qingzhou, which gives you sufficient time to prepare, well, this idea is very good and proper."
Hearing that Li Shimin approved of his idea, Gao Ming's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
"And you agreed?"
In Gao Ming's opinion, since Li Shimin can explain his plan so completely, then he will definitely agree, but what Gao Ming didn't expect was that Li Shimin shook his head at this moment.
"No, Gao Ming, although your idea is very good, but you have ignored one point, that is, the human heart!"
"People's hearts?"
Looking at Gao Ming's stunned look, Li Shimin nodded suddenly.
"Yes, human hearts!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin stood up and let out a long breath.
"Whew...... Gao Ming, now the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan are not at fault, if you send someone to guard against them like this now, then what will the other families think? ”
"Uh......"
Gao Ming really hadn't thought about this question, but now when he heard Li Shimin say this, he suddenly realized that he had thought about the problem too simply.
Suppressing the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan is nothing, but if the other families have other ideas, things will be troublesome.
Seeing Gao Ming frowning, Li Shimin knew that he had listened to his words, so he immediately nodded with satisfaction.
"Gao Ming, my Datang still needs the family gate valve to govern the world, we can suppress them appropriately, but the means can't be too drastic, as for the matter of the salt farm, you don't have to worry, the Cui family will not rebel because of this matter, they don't have the courage!"
Hearing Li Shimin say this, Gao Ming also nodded.
"I understand, then the Qinghe Cui clan and the Boling Cui clan will let it go, if they are honest, they will have a few years of peace than them."
"Well, it's good to understand!"
Seeing that Gao Ming understood what he meant, Li Shimin immediately laughed.
"As for the sixth and seventh, let them be the governors of Puzhou and Luzhou, just one left and one right with Jinzhou, and then you can teach them how to manage the prefecture and county, so that I can save snacks."
"Okay!"
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming nodded.
"That's no problem, but Jinju's development model is relatively special, and it may be difficult for Puzhou and Luzhou to do that, but if you run it for a few years, it shouldn't be a problem to reach the level of Jingzhao Mansion."
In the early Tang Dynasty, in addition to Chang'an City, Jingzhaofu, Taiyuan and Luoyang were the most prosperous, so when Li Shimin heard Gao Ming say that Puzhou and Luzhou could reach the level of Jingzhaofu in the future, he immediately nodded happily.
"It would be great if it could be as you say, and I don't know if I will be able to see this in my lifetime, alas......"
Seeing Li Shimin's slightly melancholy appearance, Gao Ming immediately stood up, and then reached out and hugged his neck.
"Don't worry, you can see it, as long as you don't swallow the gold pill like before, and at the same time pay attention to take care of your body, and don't work a woman's belly at night, it shouldn't be a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years."
“……”
Seeing Li Shimin's surprised look, Gao Ming suddenly gave him a bright smile again.
"You don't have to be too grateful to me, who is with whom, and even if you close your eyes and hang up with your legs kicked one day, I can write a letter to Zhaoling to burn it to you, uh...... Why are you looking at me like that, what do you want to say? ”
"Get out!"
“……”
Gao Ming felt that Li Shimin's temper was too bad, and everyone was chatting happily, but he suddenly got angry and kicked people.
"Alas, it seems that others say that a companion is like a tiger, and it is indeed very reasonable."
Thinking of this, Gao Ming sighed, and then went back to the East Palace with his hands behind his back.
As soon as he returned to the East Palace, Gao Ming stabilized a strong aroma, and he immediately frowned.
"This smell is peony? I think there shouldn't be any peony flowers around here, right? ”
Just when Gao Ming was puzzled, Su Wan'er came over with a smile.
"Lang Jun is back? Just now, Liu Bing asked people to send several generations of peony flowers, saying that Lang Jun asked you for it, I don't know what Lang Jun wants this peony flower for? ”
Looking at Su Wan'er's puzzled look, Gao Ming suddenly grinned.
"Secret!"
