Chapter III: Agreements

"Under is the doctor, this world is nothing more than scholars, farmers, industry, businessmen, etc., we can see these as four flavor medicines, the so-called 'no scholar is uneasy, no agriculture is not stable, no work is not rich, no business is not alive" With the bright moonlight, Xiao Zheng said to a few people.

"Let's not talk about scholars and farmers, the reason why we say that we get rich through work can be seen by the public, the plough and cocoon I make are closely related to agriculture, and I can make more money by buying these two things, and the people who buy them can go to plough the fields and farm the land to increase production and income, why not develop? The medicine can eliminate diseases and keep the body healthy, and the income from buying medicine can subsidize orphans and children, so that they can have money to buy food and build houses so that they can live and work in peace and contentment. Why bother if you don't go to death if you don't go to make money? After listening to Xiao Zheng's words, several people fell into deep thought.

Seeing that a few people didn't speak, Xiao Zheng said again: "As far as business is concerned, the emphasis is on the word "live", business is like a blender among the four flavors, without it, the other three flavors will have no vitality and vitality. If we make plows and colows, and if we make medicines, no one sells them, what is the use of doing it? The development of commerce can promote the free circulation of grain and workshop output, in turn to earn money and promote the continuous improvement of product skills, people have money in their pockets, the grain in the warehouse, and the family lives and works in peace and contentment. ”。

"Xiao boy's words are good, I don't know anything else, I only know that after our workshops are built, my old man will no longer worry about stuttering, and he has made money to build a house in the past two years, and the days that the old man has never dared to think about in this life have passed, what is good, this is good" Xiao Hai's father held a fan made of wheat straw in his hand and said....

The lotus flowers in the pond bloomed with the moonlight, and the conversation of several people was accompanied by the elegant fragrance of the lotus in the quiet night.

After breakfast the next morning, Fang Xuanling said to Xiao Zheng: "I only learned from the mouth of the third princess that your master is Li Wenbo, I also learned art in Wang Tong's house for more than a year, and I also had a schoolmate relationship with your master for several months, but I didn't worship under Mr. Wang."

Xiao Zheng heard Fang Xuanling say this, and hurriedly got up and gave the younger gift to the old house.

The old house also accepted it generously, and when Xiao Zheng finished the ceremony, Fang Xuanling recalled that in the ninth year of the great cause, your master had said: "If you want to make the water clear, you must make the source clean, and if you want to make the treetops straight, you must make the roots straight." Now that the Great Sui court is in chaos, even if ten corrupt county officials are exempted every day, what effect can it play! At that time, Lao Fang also persuaded him to serve the Tang Kingdom, but Li Gong refused as a loyal minister.

After finishing speaking, Fang Xuanling did not feel emotional, and wanted to worship Li Wenbo, Li Shimin said that since everyone went to worship this famous Qing official of the Great Sui, Yu Shinan and Fang Xuanling arrived in front of Li Gong's grave, and looked at the stone tablet engraved with Li Wenbo for a long time and was silent.

After descending the mountain after the worship, several people were chatting, and two fast horses entered the village and found Li Shimin to deliver an urgent report.

After reading it, Li Shimin said to Xiao Zheng with a smile: "Brother Xian, I originally saw that you have run these two villages so well, I want to wait for a few more days to take a look, but the army came to report that Liu Heimin borrowed troops from the Turks again, and is preparing to invade Hebei, it seems that I am going to lead the troops to go on the expedition again, this time I must catch Liu Heimin, what is the good plan for the virtuous brother?" ”。

Xiao Zheng looked at Li Shimin curiously and said, "Why does Your Highness know that this time I want you to take the queen to the expedition, and now the saint and the military department can pass the order to His Highness?" ”。

"No, I don't think the saint will send anyone else except me, right?" Li Shimin looked at Xiao Zheng and asked with a questioning expression.

"Last time, His Highness didn't give His Highness a fair reward after his victory in the expedition against Liu Heimin, and now Liu Heimin is already beating thousands of people with broken drums, and the house will fall if he kicks on his door, and this time the matter of picking fruits will definitely not let His Highness go down" Li Sanniang laughed when she saw what Xiao Zheng said interestingly.

"Who will the saint send?"

"If you don't guess wrong, this time it should be the crown prince, if I were Your Highness, I would stay here comfortably," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"I thought Mr. Xiao's words were reasonable," Fang Xuanling also stroked his beard and said.

Li Shimin stood in place and pondered for a while, then sighed and said: "Since both of you said so, I think my hope of going on this expedition is not great, but I still want to go back and try my luck, in case the saint lets me go."

Xiao Zheng accompanied a few people out of the village, Li Shimin suddenly slammed Xiao Zheng to the ground, startled Xiao Zheng, and hurriedly picked up Li Shimin and asked, "Your Highness, what does this mean?" Li Shimin looked at Xiao Zheng and said: "Since the last time I met in Luoyang, I know that the virtuous brother has Zhang Liang's talent, and I don't want to invite the virtuous brother to go out of the mountain to assist me to build the Tang Dynasty together, I hope that the virtuous brother will not refuse" After speaking, he bowed again.

Xiao Zheng looked at Li Shimin very interestingly, it seems that this guy's reputation as Corporal Lixian is really not false, in order to recruit talents, he will not hesitate to bow his head as the king of Qin, this kind of bearing is not something ordinary people can do.

Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness has a good reputation, Xiao is neither Zhang Liang nor Mr. Zhuge , since His Highness treats him with courtesy, Xiao himself should respond, please rest assured, I will go to Chang'an City to meet His Highness after a while, but since I am going to assist His Highness, can you promise me two conditions?" ”。

Li Shimin was overjoyed after hearing Xiao Zheng's promise, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, don't say that there are two conditions, as long as I, Li Shimin, can do it, twenty of them will be fine!" ”。

"I don't need His Royal Highness to think about it, the conditions are very simple, the first is that I don't like to kneel to others, and I don't like to kneel to others, although it is natural for me to kneel to the prince of heaven and earth, but I really don't like to kneel and kneel. The second teacher and Zai Xia are both idle clouds and wild cranes are used to being lazy, and they don't ask His Highness to give even high-ranking officials good luck, as long as they don't let them sink into the government."

Li Shimin looked at Xiao Zheng with some incredulity after hearing this, and thought that this Mr. Xiao had any conditions to put forward, what kind of conditions is this!

"I promise!" Li Shimin didn't even think about it, and after speaking, he raised his left hand and prepared to swear.

"There's no need for this, as long as His Highness agrees, I'll go to see His Highness in a while," Xiao Zheng took Li Shimin's hand and said.

"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing my brother in Chang'an City. The military situation is urgent, I will go back with a few people to prepare," Li Shimin finished speaking, and then took the people on horseback and left the village.

Out of Li Zhuang, Fang Xuanling immediately arched his hand to Li Shimin and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness for winning the three good materials?" ”

"Isn't it Mr. Xiao alone, how can he say that there are three good materials," Yu Shinan asked.

"Bo Shi, you don't know, that Mr. Xiao's entourage Xue Rengui can beat Wei Chi Lao Hei to the ground, whether he is a fierce general. There is also the extremely handsome young man who knows that he is a descendant of Luban when he hears his surname, and the children of Lou Shide, if it takes time, it is a usable material, and His Royal Highness has gained a lot this time. Bo Shi, you have to take the word that Mr. Xiao wrote for you, the poem 'Empty Mountain and New .......Rain' sounds ethereal, Mr. Xiao is big, you can be careful not to let people take it for you again" Lao Fang said with a smile.

"Thanks to Qiao Xuan this time, I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with Mr. Xiao's ancestor and master, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly, and you will also be half of Mr. Xiao's elder in the future, so you deserve it," Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin was in a very happy mood at this time, and he thought of coming over to dig up a piece of gold, but he didn't expect to dig out a mountain of gold with a spade, which was not a great joy for him.

When a few arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, they met Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji with their men and horses to crusade against Liu Heimin.

Li Shimin didn't have any unhappy expression for the first time, and said a few words of encouragement to Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji originally wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity to humiliate Li Shimin, but seeing that Li Shimin was happy, he didn't pretend to be happy, but made Li Yuanji angry enough.
