Chapter Seventy-One: The Child's Means

The civil and military officials in Chang'an City were much calmer about the four million stone grain that Xiao Zheng transported into Chang'an this time, and only the price of rice in Chang'an City was affected, and the price of rice in Guanzhong, which had been in arrears for three consecutive years, had dropped to two cents and one bucket for an unprecedented time, and it could not be said that this was the contribution of the rice brought in from Jiangnan, and as long as there was grain in their hands, no one in Guanzhong wanted to make trouble.

With a wave of his hand, 2,000 acres of land adjacent to Li Sanniang's textile factory were converted into a distillery, and a large amount of liquor was continuously transported to Saibei by Hu Shang, in exchange for horses, cattle and sheep.

As soon as Du Ruhui reported the amount of grain handed over by Jiangnan this time, there was no big wave in the court, and Du Ruhui returned to work after arranging the grain storage.

Before the buttocks were hot, I heard someone stand up and say: "Chen Qi Sage, Yu Guogong handed over such a huge amount of grain to me in Jiangnan within two years is the pillar of the country, and the minister should admire it, but the minister heard that Jiangnan had robbed the prison and rebelled against the prison some time ago, and the minister was worried that the Yu Guogong had been exploited very heavily in Jiangnan and had provoked a civil uprising. Another minister learned that the Duke of Yuguo arbitrarily detained the businessman with no property, and beheaded more than ten people, setting a precedent for no murder in the Tang Dynasty, and asked the sage to send someone to investigate in detail, so as to prevent the Duke of Yuguo from brutally stirring up a civil rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River."

Who is this? Du Ruhui looked up and saw that it was Sun Shunde, the chief of Xue Guo.

"Don't worry about this, I will send someone to investigate in detail in a while," Li Shimin saw that it was his uncle, and said very euphemistically.

"The minister has been to the south when he was in the past, and I would like to ask for an order to go to Jiangnan to inspect!" The eldest grandson Shunde saw that there was an opportunity, so he hit the snake and said on the stick.

"Your old man has other matters in the court, it is not appropriate to go far, let's retreat first," Li Shimin said lightly.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't react much, the old guy had to lower his head, gritted his teeth, and retreated.

After Fang Xuanling watched the performance of the eldest grandson Shunde, the corners of his mouth turned upwards and he smiled without making a sound.

In the Hongwen Pavilion, Li Chengqian and Lou Shide took advantage of the break to talk quietly.

"Some of my subordinates said that the eldest grandson Shunde was going to trouble the master two days ago, have you heard of it?" Li Chengqian said.

"I heard that, isn't it that my master cut off his financial route, just like killing his own father, this guy, the dead dare to ask for money, that is, the master is kind-hearted, if this is said to be a rebellion in Jiangnan, his eldest grandson Shunde can't be washed away by jumping into the Wei River" Lou Shide said.

"Do you want to write a letter to tell Master about this?" Li Chengqian asked.

"In that case, the food will already be cold, and I'm worried that this old guy will always be in trouble if he keeps finding fault when he takes the opportunity. This is like a fly, if you don't bite, he is always buzzing next to you, which is annoying, just clean up his eldest grandson Shunde, and the two of us are enough," Lou Shide said very confidently.

"What then?" As soon as he heard that there was such a good thing, Li Chengqian, who was a young man, leaned over and asked in a low voice with an expression that was not a big deal.

"Look at that guy, your distant uncle," Lou Shide pointed to the eldest Sun Jiaqing, who was sitting on the edge of the flower bed outside, bragging and boasting to his classmates.

"Isn't he the son of the eldest grandson Shunde, the son of my cheap uncle's family, don't you still want to beat him? If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I will not accompany you. Last time, I asked both of us to copy the Analects so that our wrists were swollen, and he was still watching and drinking from the sidelines, and I would rather be beaten by him than copy a book," Li Chengqian said with a palpitation.

"You stupid, look at that" After finishing speaking, Lou Shide pointed to the waist of the eldest grandson Jiaqing with a pen. This guy has a three-color glass jade pendant dangling around his waist, which is very dazzling.

"Didn't you say that the jade pendant turned out to be your family?" Lou Shide asked.

"It must be my family, when I Aya was testing my homework, the superintendent of the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent someone to send it, saying that this three-color glass was accidentally burned to make a jade pendant. When they thought that this thing was unattainable, they came to contribute it to me Aya, and I thought it was too luxurious and piercing to wear it, so I took it and sent it to the Treasure Pavilion", Li Chengqian said with certainty.

"Isn't that enough, has your father rewarded the minister during this time?"

"No, no, definitely not! Wait, you mean that his jade pendant is stealing ......" Li Chengqian suddenly pointed at the jade pendant in surprise, and just as he wanted to speak, Lou Shide covered his mouth.

"What my master's supervisor will dare to offer to your father must be unique in the world, unless the person who is the supervisor doesn't want to live."

"This one must be!" Li Chengqian nodded in agreement and said.

"If he didn't steal it, could it be that your father didn't give it to him, this jade pendant flew over by himself," Lou Shide said very confidently.

"I don't believe that his eldest grandson Shunde dared to go to my house to steal things," Li Chengqian said with some indignation.

Lou Shide glanced at him hatefully and said, "You are stupid, why did he steal it himself, what do you think about the eldest grandson Shunde for?" ”。

"His position in the Zongren Mansion is the servant in charge of the palace, do you say that it is difficult for him to want that jade pendant, isn't it your father and your mother to guard the treasure pavilion every day?"

"That's impossible, I'll never go to that place, you mean it's hard to go out without a thief?" Li Chengqian asked.

"It's not stupid," Lou Shide said as he looked at Li Chengqian.

"Do you want me to go to the palace and send someone to catch the thief, this is not good" Li Chengqian's head shook like a rattle.

"Just said that you are smarter, you are stupid, what is the difference between you sending people into the palace and rebelling, you will not send people to watch outside the back door of the palace? When the thief is found out, if he is instructed by the eldest grandson Shunde behind his back, he just gives the master this breath, if you don't catch a thief, it can be regarded as keeping the harem safe, and your mother will praise you. With this jade pendant alone, nine times out of ten, there is a certainty that this fire can burn on the head of the eldest grandson Shunde," Lou Shide said with a swear.

"I believe this, but even if I catch someone, I can only go to the harem and tell my father and mother, and I have my share in talking in the court. If my mother's heart is soft, won't I be busy in vain? The key is that someone in the court can only hurt the eldest grandson Shunde if he says things in a grand manner, you can't do it, and I can't do it either," Li Chengqian said with some difficulty.

"Yes, and it's the best candidate," Lou Shide said with a smile.

"Who?".

"Your new crown prince washes horses, and you have a famous name in the court, one of the three bad characters," Lou Shide said with a wicked smile.

"You mean......" Li Chengqian pointed at Lou Shide in surprise and said.

"That's right! Don't say it, Mr. came in for class," Lou Shide said as he poked Li Chengqian with his arm.

"Okay, as long as we can the eldest grandson Shunde, then we will do it" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said.

The eldest grandson Jiaqing, who was sitting not far away, felt a chill in his back and sneeze involuntarily.
