Li Shimin listened to the report of the spy, felt very distressed for Li Tai, and said to the eldest grandson queen beside him: "Look at him like that, how can he still look like a prince of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Erlang, in fact, this is not bad, do you think, if it was before, how could Tai'er have endured this suffering? But this time, I was able to walk for four days in a row, and my feet were worn out and I could still persevere, and I became more and more manly! As a mother, Empress Changsun naturally feels sorry for Li Tai, but she is also Li Shimin's virtuous helper, and she will try her best not to let Li Shimin worry about things outside the court, and it is Li Shimin's decision to let Li Tai follow Wang Haoran to Puzhou, and Empress Changsun will naturally not let Li Shimin slap herself in the face, not to mention that it is indeed a good choice to do so.

"Speaking of which, if Tai'er has the same temper and arrogance as before, who will not want to do what he doesn't want to do? It was only Haoran who was able to shock him a little. Li Shimin said with relief.

Wu Ruyi followed Wang Haoran to Zhongcheng together, there was no way, although outsiders did not have any slanderous remarks against her, but it was different in the martial arts. The death of the samurai tong can be said to be worse for the samurai, and this big family basically relied on the shadow of the samurai tong to prosper in official fortune. But since Li Shimin ascended the throne, Wu Shitong, the capable generals who followed Li Yuan's uprising in the early years, had to give way to Li Shimin's subordinates, and their status in the court plummeted. But even so, Li Shimin will still remember that the samurai Tong has made great contributions and does not snub the samurai too much, but now the samurai Tong is dead! The other exploits of the martial arts family are simply unattainable in front of Cheng Yanjin and others, and the decline of the martial arts will be exacerbated by the departure of the samurai. The Wu family was unwilling, but they were helpless, so they sprinkled their anger on Wu Ruyi, saying that she was a disaster star, if it weren't for her apprenticeship, Wu Shi Tong would not have been seriously ill and would have been able to live for a while...... As a result, Wu Ruyi was rushed to Puzhou with her master before she could guard the samurai's tomb for a few days.

As soon as Wang Haoran arrived in Zhongcheng, he arranged for Wu Ruyi to study electric lights with Xiaoyu, of course, although Wu Ruyi was clever, he didn't know anything about this, Wang Haoran's main purpose was just to let Wu Ruyi divert his attention, so as not to think about the martial arts all day long.

Xiaoyu was very happy to join Wu Ruyi, although her sisters-in-law sometimes tossed with her, but they didn't have the heart to understand it deeply, just to pass the time, so Xiaoyu often felt lonely, and sighed that she could finally feel a little bit of her brother's mood when he was doing research. And Wu Ruyi is different, it was specially arranged by her brother to learn this knowledge. Xiaoyu feels that she is walking the path that her brother walked back then, and Wu Ruyi is her Xiaoyu's "Chen Jun", so Xiaoyu teaches very carefully and patiently, hoping that Wu Ruyi can become her right-hand man like Chen Jun in the future.

Li Shimin's state-owned enterprise plan also quickly became operational, including taking over Wang Haoran's rice research base in Hangzhou and establishing the Department of Agriculture, while Xu Xuanan was appointed as the supervisor of the Department of Agriculture. In addition to the study of miscellaneous rice, corn, wheat and other crops are also included in the research objects. Although it is often said that the local county order is a nine-grade sesame official, this is only the opinion of the court officials, and it is already an unattainable aristocrat for ordinary people.

In return, Li Shimin promised that if paper money could replace copper coins in the future, as Wang Haoran said, he would allow Wang Haoran to mine copper privately. At the same time, the imperial court will also actively promote this matter, and set up a Datang ticket bank to issue small-denomination banknotes, taking the word "yuan" in "yuan" as the unit, and one yuan is equivalent to one copper coin.

This is not harmful to Wang Haoran's Pioneer UnionPay, which is a joint venture with other businessmen, and can even benefit from it. The silver notes issued by Pioneer UnionPay are all large-denomination, and the small-denomination banknotes issued by the imperial court cannot affect the value of Pioneer UnionPay silver notes at all. Paper money is not easy to preserve, and in the future, when paper money is widespread, perhaps more people will be willing to deposit their money in Pioneer UnionPay.

Li Shimin also got involved in the cotton industry, and set up a cotton planting base in the enclosure of Tibet to plant cotton on a large scale, which can not only control the economic lifeline of Tibet, but also improve the lives of the people of Tibet, which can be regarded as a gentle policy.

A few months later, Wang Qihong wrote to the Gaochang court that the Gaochang court had sensed the crisis and was calling on the people of Gaochang to plant back the grain they had previously cultivated, such as barley, and to encourage grazing. However, they did not dare to promote the conspiracy theory of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the powerful Datang, if those Datang cotton buyers cut off trade, then Gaochang would lose the source of rice. In recent years, the people of Gaochang have lived a lot better than before because of cotton planting, at least they can make a living. Since last year, the price of cotton has increased a lot, and more people have joined cotton planting, in fact, this has not made the Gaochang court aware of anything, anyway, the Tang Dynasty needs cotton, and Gaochang has a large amount of cotton to sell, each with its own benefits. What made them suspicious was another unrelated matter, that is, the Tang Dynasty planted cotton in Tubo, and the Gaochang court believed that the Tang Dynasty was preparing to let Tubo replace Gaochang, so as to put pressure on Gaochang to achieve a certain goal, which made Li Shimin a little wronged.

The thinking of the Gaochang court was wrong, but the conclusion was right, but they did not dare to show these to the people of Gaochang, so that the people of Gaochang still chose to plant cotton after weighing the gains and losses.

Gaochang is far away from Zhongcheng, in order not to miss the opportunity, Wang Haoran replied to Wang Qihong to act at the opportunity and be ready to counteract at any time.

When Wang Qihong received Wang Haoran's letter, it had already been seven or eight days, and this speed was not slow. At this time, Gao Chang, seeing that the encouragement policy was not working, had already taken other actions, the biggest action was to requisition the people, in the name of the imperial court to plant barley and other grains, in addition to putting pressure on the local landlords to force them to grow local grain.

Wang Qihong felt that the time had come at this time, and decisively withdrew to the purchase points in various places, and there were some individual traders from the Tang Dynasty, who also came to Gaochang to buy cotton, and Wang Qihong talked to them one by one and no longer transported grain to Gaochang. These people were reluctant at first, but when they heard Wang Qihong say that he was doing things for His Majesty, they agreed.

Li Shimin could naturally get the news in time, and he couldn't be stunned, as Wang Haoran proposed, he issued an order to ban all trade with Gaochang. As a result, the high-level of Gaochang immediately panicked, there are few people in Gaochang who grow grain today, and the source of food is cut off, even if they hurry up to plant grain now, it will be too late. Borrowing food? Zhou Bang is afraid of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to lend them food? Judging from Gaochang's current grain reserves, the famine crisis is no longer inevitable, after Gaochang's high-level emergency consultation, the lord of the country, Lu Wentai, decided to go to the Tang Dynasty in person, but before that, he sent his son Lu Zhisheng to find out the Tang Dynasty merchants first, to see if he could find out the intentions of the Tang Dynasty, no way, at this time the Tang Dynasty does not have an embassy in other states.
