Li Shimin secretly complained in his heart, but he pretended to have a blank expression on his face: "Is there such a thing? ”

"At this moment, I'm afraid the entire Chang'an City knows about it!" Wei Zheng is very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's attitude, can you know about such a big thing? Who to bluff?

"What do you mean by that?" Now Li Shimin is really a little puzzled, the whole Chang'an knows about it, he believes it, but it hasn't even been half an hour before and after, and the entire palace hasn't passed it on yet, how can the whole city know about it?

"The king of Qi ordered someone to paste the tax bill issued by the household department in the West Market, and everyone knows it." There was a rough breath coming out of his nostrils, why didn't he know that King Qi could toss so much before? The whole city knows that paying a tax is also done, and it is absolutely not good.

Although Wei Zheng doesn't like to care about these things, he is smart in his head, and through the information on the tax bill, he has guessed some of the situation.

"Before, King Qi's collection of protection fees was not smooth, and the people and merchants were not willing to pay, but they were forced to pay by King Qi. Wei has no choice but to accept, now that he has the receipt of the household department, the king of Qi can treat this matter as a legitimate business to operate, and if it goes on like this, where will the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian be placed? Where is the imperial court? Everyone has something to do to find the king of Qi, and after a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the decrees of the imperial court to be implemented in Chang'an. ”

"This ......" Li Shimin hesitated deeply, he really didn't think of this, he was full of just how to calculate Li Yuanji and let him make a mistake.

And the people who can think of this are very busy, and they are too busy to take care of this matter.

Wei Zheng is right, for a long time, the imperial court will inevitably have no sense of existence in Chang'an, so it must be punished.

But Li Shimin is also reluctant, and now the amount involved in the case is too small, and Li Yuanji's crime cannot be cured at all, at most, he will be reprimanded and punished for one month.

But in this way, wouldn't your carefully arranged strategy fail?

Moreover, Li Shimin was not without other considerations, and strengthened his belief that Li Yuanji must not be allowed to stop, Li Shimin said: "Lord Wei Bo doesn't know, in fact, this matter is agreed to alone. ”

What the? Do you agree?

Is there a mistake with wood? Dig your own corner?

The more he thought about Wei Zheng, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help jumping into three points: "Ridiculous! Slippery world! The dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty will ascend the throne as the emperor in a few days, but you have done such a ridiculous thing, you are destroying the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. ”

If he had been scolded by Wei Zheng like this in normal times, Li Shimin would have lost his weight and run away desperately.

But today it is not possible, not only can he not compensate, but he can't run away, and he has to persuade Wei Zheng to let him make less trouble in this matter.

"Lord Wei Bo only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other!" Li Shimin made a helpless gesture and quietly glanced at Wei Zheng, but he was caught by Wei Zheng, and his liver jumped violently, and Li Shimin, who was frightened, did not dare to go around the bend again:

"Things have to come one by one, the court has no money and no food, and the ministers have not been sent for half a year, and now the Turkic army is detaining the border, and the court is such a situation, the court is also taking care of one and the other, and the matter has priorities, solving the Turkic thief army at the border is the top priority, Yuan Ji has nothing to do today, and he arranged for him to find a way to manage the security of Chang'an, although this law loses the majesty of the court, but in the short term, it is harmless, and even helps the court ......"

Sending Wei Zheng away, Li Shimin felt that his whole body was almost paralyzed, and it was really difficult for him to make up such a reason.

But quietly, Li Shimin also had to praise his wit, and in a hurry, the set of statements he gave not only persuaded Wei Zheng, but also convinced himself.

At the time of the Turkic seizure, Wei Zheng also knew that things were prioritized, and although Li Yuanji's approach was inappropriate, as long as he could maintain the security of the capital, it would not hurt.

But Wei Zheng finally suggested that more people should be sent to be responsible for the security of Chang'an, and this burden must not be placed on the King of Qi alone, seeing that Wei Zheng was relieved, Li Shimin also nodded again and again.

……

Li Yuanji, who returned to Taipingfang, wanted to train the veterans under his command.

But after gathering them, Li Yuanji gave up on the idea.

It is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, not the period of the late Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

The combat effectiveness of the government soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty was still very strong, and the order was forbidden, and in the army of this era, you would definitely not find a place that you were not satisfied with.

In the battle array, run fast, slash!

Run slowly, slash!

Head to ear, slash!

Slash, Fearless!

Under such a system, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was naturally strong, and in addition to the combat effectiveness, the formation and queue were also extremely strong, and the way to walk was no worse than that of the military parades in later generations.

Therefore, Li Yuanji didn't say anything more except for asking them to step up their training, and with his own half-level, it was indeed a little difficult to command them.

The tax payment certificate was only posted in the West Market for half an hour, and then it was returned.

Early the next morning, the only two business offices in Chang'an County and Wannian County were overcrowded.

It's not that the government is not worthy of their trust, it's just that everyone knows what the situation the court is in now, and instead of pinning their hopes on the government, it is better to pay some money to keep the peace from the king of Qi first.

Of course, the people and businessmen of the Tang Dynasty are not stupid, everyone knows that this behavior of King Qi will not last long, so even if the annual payment can be discounted, they still choose to pay monthly, but after the court recovers, King Qi will not have the opportunity to make a fortune.

Time has come to the end of August in a blink of an eye, and there are only four days left before Li Shimin ascends the throne.

In the past half a month, Li Yuanji has been quite quiet, and he has not caused any trouble, more than 100 guards have left 20 around him as a guard, and the rest are in a team of five people, constantly patrolling the streets, but they will only care about those who have paid the protection fee.

The minions recruited were secretly inquiring into the gossip, and unconsciously, Li Yuanji had basically mastered all the information in Chang'an, but this information was basically gossip, and the authenticity still needs to be verified.

Taiping Fang has been transformed into a huge construction site, with thousands of workers clearing pieces of rubble, wooden beams left behind, dismantled into stakes for use, and the rest all cleared out of the city.

Looking at the increasingly cold weather, Li Yuanji was also a little anxious.

In ancient times, houses were not built in winter, and the cold weather made it impossible for workers to stretch their hands, and the materials became extremely fragile, and the houses built were extremely undurable.

Li Yuanji, who has been moving bricks on the construction site for several years, knows this very well, and the difference between winter and summer is that it can be built in 3 to 5 days in summer, while it takes 7 to 10 days in winter, just a little difference.

Li Yuanji thinks that it should not be a big problem to build only a two- or three-story building under the current conditions, but before the winter, the foundation must be built, otherwise the house will not be able to be built at all after the winter.

Looking at the city gate tower located in the middle of Taipingfang, which was slightly blue in color, the corners of Li Yuanji's mouth rose slightly, and his second life talisman came.
