"Also...... Not. Li Longji calmed down instantly, and did not immediately question Zhang Xiaobao why the prince and the princess had so much knowledge that they should not learn, and the princess could not be involved in any case.

"Eat together?" Zhang Xiaobao tentatively invited.

"What do you say? Do I have to go back to dinner once I come? Li Longji glared.

"Okay, let's eat northern food today, or we can make a new Sichuan cuisine." Zhang Xiaobao began to think about specific operations.

Li Longji didn't say anything, Li Hong said: "What is that?" ”

"All spicy." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

"Isn't spicy a dish from the northern part of Hebei Province? That is, where you are officials? Li Hong was surprised.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head: "How can the spicy taste be put in the Northeast?" The Northeast should be based on stewed vegetables, plus the practice of dried vegetables, made by the living conditions, the seeds brought back from the outside do not grow well in the Northeast, I am talking about spicy seeds, damp and hazy weather places should eat spicy, and wait for the seeds to multiply Your Highness will know. ”

For a while, Zhang Xiaobao couldn't explain to Li Hong, and the choice of dishes was greatly affected by the region.

"Okay, try it." Li Hong made a decision, he really hadn't eaten a table full of spicy dishes.

Li Longji did know some about the situation, and the seeds of various crops transported from the northern part of Hebei Province to the capital were being sent to various parts of the Tang Dynasty by Sinong Temple for trial planting, and they were trying to graft and improve them, and at the same time, the crops south of the Yellow River or the Yangtze River were also sent to the north for improvement.

For example, oranges, there is a saying that Huainan is orange, Huaibei is orange, and the world has been told that Huaibei's oranges are not good, but Sinong Temple still insists on sending oranges to various places for trial planting, wanting to cultivate varieties suitable for local planting.

The current chili pepper is just one word: spicy, and there is no persimmon pepper that is big and not much spicy as Xiaobao and Juan Juan said, all because of the continuous grafting failure of Sinong Temple and Bohai Governor's Mansion.

After eating a meal, everyone was sweating profusely, Li Hong basically filled half a stomach of vegetables and half a stomach of water, he drank a mouthful of water after eating a mouthful of food.

Li Longji also learned Zhang Xiaobao's craft of making this kind of dish for the first time, which is not the same as the spicy dishes that Zhang Xiaobao ate on the way out.

"Xiaobao, can the people of Sichuan and Shu really eat it on weekdays?"

"Yes, after a large area of planting, you can't let them eat, Sichuan wine is spicy, Jiangnan is soft, who is comfortable after eating, who knows, the need for survival, natural selection, can never be reversed, such as the people are like the government, water can ......."

"Water can carry boats, but also can capsize boats, I know, I don't need you to teach you in this regard, you should continue to teach the princes and princesses, teach them the way to be kings, and then set up their own princes, and fight each other when they have nothing to do, and be a training soldier."

Li Longji followed the words and led him to the purpose of his visit today, and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to see what they were teaching.

Zhang Xiaobao naturally didn't admit it: "How can you become a prince?" And there is no military power, Juan Juan and I just want to recover the local financial revenue in their hands, and in the future, the local finance will be more and more, and continue to give it to them, and the development of the food and euphoria to which they belong must be the worst.

Just say no, Your Majesty, you, as a father, have to bear the risk of being blamed by the world, saying that you are not considerate of your children and make their lives difficult.

Therefore, it is better to let them take the initiative to hand it over, change hands and then send it back to them. ”

"What's the difference? Hand it over and send it back, when I'm idle and have nothing to do? I didn't understand, how could their fiefdom finances be poor? Wouldn't it be better to hand it over and send it to them? ”

After Li Longji heard Zhang Xiaobao talk around and returned, he asked lightly, waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to give an explanation.

Li Hong also waited, he also wanted to know Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's plan, whether they really wanted to cultivate a lot of princes, and then ...... with him Oh no, fighting with the future emperor, his position as the crown prince does not seem to be secure.

Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Wang Juan and saw that Wang Juan had no meaning to explain, so he had to speak by himself.

"Your Majesty has many children, many fiefs, the prince is the king, and he acts, but he is famous but not real, and there are few people who have succeeded, why? Then....... ”

"You speak well to me, I know that you are the champion, and I am dragging the text." Li Longji has also learned a lot of new words.

"In fact, Your Majesty, you use the financial income from all over the Tang Dynasty to raise a group of idlers, and they find that they have no effect, so they think about having fun all day long, play well, and be a little more reassuring, the more you can rest assured, such people can't fight for power."

The princes you sent out are basically named in the locality, and they can't pick out one out of ten people who can do great things, and the people in their fiefdoms see that their income is given to them in the end, and the local officials have little motivation.

They themselves have not learned much about the methods of governance, and seeing that there is more money in other places and less money sent by their own fiefdoms, the only way is to deepen the exploitation, and the more they exploit the local area, the worse the political economy will become, and finally it will become a vicious circle. ”

Zhang Xiaobao explained that he stopped here, giving Li Longji a time to think, and I believe that Li Longji is still smart and can understand.

Li Longji really didn't think about it for too long, so he bowed his head and said, "Go on, speed." ”

Li Hong next to him finally discovered that his father was not as serious as he had always thought before, and when facing Zhang Xiaobao's family, anything could come out, what was 'speed'? Is it fast or slow? When such a sentence comes up in Hanyuan Palace, half of the ministers will fall when they ascend.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't think about Li Hong's feelings, and continued: "Teach them more knowledge, they will naturally pay attention, and people who usually have any ideas about a certain position in their hearts can take this opportunity to express it directly."

When the time comes, you can negotiate with them, take back their fiefdoms, and then arrange for them to be administered in various places, like a game of Monopoly, and set a rule for them to compare with each other.

You can publish your own administrative policies in the newspapers, or even attack other people's administrative methods, and in the end, you will definitely leave behind many excellent governance methods, which will be added to the textbooks, and there will be many failures, which will also be added to the textbooks and left for future generations to follow.

Juan Juan and I will give them another three months of lessons, and then we will go to the north to train the troops, and they can only learn from books if they want to learn, or ponder by themselves, thinking that next year's Datang will be very lively. ”

"It's a mess, isn't it?" Li Longji said, narrowed his eyes and began to think.

Li Hong quietly came to Zhang Xiaobao's side and asked softly, "I...... What about me? ”

What he means is that if someone else has something to do, he can't run to a certain place to administer, isn't he an idler.

"Next year's military training, Your Majesty will often go out to tour around the country, the war is smooth, Your Majesty will also go over to personally levy, you will continue to supervise the country, and when Your Majesty is in the capital, you will go out to parade, now the treasury has a lot of money, not bad for this cost, I can also pay if it is not good."

Zhang Xiaobao also whispered.

Li Hong is happy, it's good to supervise the country, even if it's just a temporary exercise of power, it's enjoyable, and it's a good choice to go out for a cruise, who doesn't want to play, in the past, the prince of the East Palace wanted to go to all parts of the Tang Dynasty to play in the mountains and rivers, it was a dream.

"Haven't been playing for a long time and forgotten to get down to business?" Li Hong was slightly worried.

"No, you see the lives of the people, whether it is tears or smiling faces, you will be more determined to let them live a better life, the country is good, we can't cherish and have it?"

Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand, and seemed to include all the rivers and mountains.

Li Hongmeng nodded: "Yes, you can see more things outside, and the country is also very good, but it is hard for you, and you have to go to battle." ”

"It doesn't matter, you have to fight, either by being beaten or by others, when one day there is no more fighting in the world, it means that all species have died out, including flowers and trees." Zhang Xiaobao sighed.

"I ...... Finally understood. While Zhang Xiaobao and Li Hong were muttering, Li Longji suddenly spoke out and startled Li Hong.

Gao Lishi cooperated and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you understand?" ”

"I know why Xiaobao and Juan Juan chose this now."

"Why?" Colliers continued to cooperate.

"They were afraid that when they requisitioned the materials of the various fiefdoms, they would be blocked and interfered by the small actions of the princes and princesses behind their backs.

Now it's different, the benefits are given, so that they have something to do, and they will be rewarded for their achievements, one by one, of course, they have to cooperate with Xiaobao and Juanjuan, and providing military supplies is also an achievement. ”

Li Longji said proudly.

Gao Lishi thought about it, and then nodded like a teacher: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

"Xiaobao, I'm not wrong, right? Isn't it? Li Longji asked Zhang Xiaobao with a smile.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Xiaobao repeated his godfather's words.

As a result, listening to his admission, Li Longji felt a little uncertain in his heart.

"No, there are still things to think about." Li Longji's eyes narrowed again.

Zhang Xiaobao shrugged his shoulders and looked at Wang Juan, who replied with a rebellious expression.
