Chapter 37 Wei Zheng of Tou Tie
In the next few days, the business of bean sprouts was still booming.
Many businesses that have begun to study bean sprouts have not yet mastered the real technology of bean sprouts.
Because of the weather, their mung beans never sprouted.
Tai Chi Palace.
Hall of Virtue.
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the hall.
Li Shimin was dressed in a dragon robe, and the dragon and tiger spirit came in great strides.
"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty!"
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Du Xiang, the civil and military officials paid homage.
In the Tang Dynasty, unless there was a major memorial, there was no kneeling ceremony at other times.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
Li Shimin was sitting precariously.
In the Hall of Virtue, Li Shimin showed the demeanor of the Son of Heaven.
A domineering aura permeates the whole body.
Early today.
The most important issues.
It is the problem of spring plowing and production this year.
It's February, and the snow and ice are already melting.
The permafrost is also beginning to thaw.
This is the first spring ploughing after Li Shimin ascended the throne.
The plan of the year lies in the spring!
Li Shimin naturally attaches great importance to it.
For this reason, Li Shimin decided to send two household servants to the important grain-producing places in the north in addition to the land of Guanlong.
Hebei Province and Henan Province, conduct patrols!
The Ministry of Households, before Li Shimin ascended the throne and became emperor, was always called the Ministry of the People.
Because of Li Shimin, there is a conflict of one word.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Shimin changed the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Ministry of Households.
This change has been passed down for more than 1,000 years.
Regarding His Majesty's arrangement, the ministers naturally bowed their heads and agreed.
"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"
Li Shimin every time he said this.
The ministers waited, and hurried to call it a day and go home.
Plainly.
During the Tang Dynasty, it was not easy to be an official.
Especially in Chang'an City, it is even more difficult to be an official.
It is even more difficult to set foot on the court and participate in the ministers of the early court every day.
To put it mildly, they wake up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs.
The officials who were closer to the palace were fine, such as Fang Xiang Du Xiang and the eldest grandson Wuji.
They lived in Yongchangfang, just across the street from the palace.
Even when the morning bell rings, they can continue to take a nap.
And the one hundred and eight squares of Chang'an City, most of the officials, are still relatively far away from the palace.
At this time, horse-drawn carriages are the most mainstream means of transportation.
Just the speed of the carriage.
As soon as they heard the morning bell ring, they got up from their beds.
Then nervous toileting, washing.
Don't be nervous!
After squatting in the toilet for a long time, it's a proper rhythm to be late!
Therefore, serious lack of sleep is the norm for Datang officials.
There is no way.
can only wait for the retreat from the dynasty, hurry back to the house, and continue to make up for the return to sleep.
Therefore, Li Shimin has something to start playing, and he has nothing to retreat from!
For them, it feels like the happiest moment.
However, a thin, short official stepped out of the shift.
Everyone looked at each other.
It's over the calf.
It turned out to be Wei Zheng out of class.
But if Wei Zheng leaves the class, there must be something to report.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"
As soon as Wei Zheng opened his mouth, he attracted the eyes of the ministers.
Retire early, isn't it fragrant?
If only eyes could kill.
It is estimated that Wei Zheng is now scattered.
"Oh, what did Xuan Cheng do?"
Wei Zheng, whose name is Xuancheng, is currently a counselor.
"Your Majesty, Minister, there has been a recent sale of bean sprouts in the East and West markets."
Wei Zheng's voice landed.
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.
Fang Xiang Du Xiang and the eldest grandson Wuji also chuckled in their hearts.
Cheng Biting Jin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao were even more tiger-eyed, and they came straight to Wei Zheng.
"Xuancheng, I also heard that there are bean sprouts for sale in the east and west markets, and I also sent someone to purchase some, and the taste is really good."
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng without a smile and spoke.
"Your Majesty, do you know the price of that bean sprout?"
Wei Zheng straightened his neck and spoke.
"I really don't know the price of bean sprouts, but this season, someone can make beans into a dish, and I think this person also has some skills, and the price should not be too low."
Li Shimin pretended to be confused and played Tai Chi in the Hall of Virtue!
"Your Majesty, this person can make bean sprouts in this cold winter season, and I think that he does have some skills."
"However, the bean sprouts sold by this person are really outrageous, and such a high price has seriously disrupted the order of the two markets."
Listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin frowned.
"Is there such a thing? A handful of money? ”
Li Shimin also stretched out his slap, made a handful of movements, and then spoke.
"In this way, he shouldn't be able to sell much of his bean sprouts, right?"
Li Shimin's words made Cheng Yanjin almost suffocate his internal injuries.
However, above the court, Cheng Yanjin didn't dare to laugh uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, you guessed wrong. The bean sprouts in the market are not only sold out every day, but they also expire without waiting. ”
"Every day, a wagon of bean sprouts is brought in, and a wagon of copper coins is pulled away."
"Such a black-hearted merchant, minister, I beg your majesty to punish him severely! Set an example! ”
Wei Zheng's words made the Xiande Hall quiet.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
When Li Shimin saw Cheng Biting Jin coming out of class, his face instantly eased a lot.
"Zhijie, what do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is understandable for people to make money with their ability, Wei Zheng is afraid that his eyes are red!"
"Cheng Zhijie, you spew blood!"
Wei Zheng doesn't look small, but his temper is not small.
"Hugh is messing around!"
Li Shimin pulled down his face, and Wei Zheng and Cheng Yanjin immediately closed their mouths.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to say."
"Say!"
Li Shimin saw that it was Cheng Biting Jin who opened his mouth, and immediately agreed happily.
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, officials are not allowed to enter the market! Wei Zheng knew so much about it, I suspect that he violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty and entered the market without authorization! ”
"Your Majesty, please be aware of it!"
Cheng Biting Jin's words made Li Shimin's eyes light up.
Cheng bites gold, he is really a person who is thick and fine.
There is indeed such a law in the Tang Dynasty, so the officials all let the housekeeper go to the market to purchase materials.
"Your Majesty, the minister, I have never been to the East and West Market, just now the minister has explained, the minister has heard!"
Wei Zheng didn't expect that Cheng Biting Jin, who was very arrogant, would be as careful as a hair.
What annoyed Wei Zheng even more was that Cheng Biting Jin, who didn't get in oil and salt, didn't know which tendon was pumped today.
I actually got on the bar with myself!
"Your Majesty, can hearsay be true?"
"Then if I heard that Wei Zheng had objections, wouldn't I want to behead all over the house?"
Burst!
Wei Zheng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao covered their mouths and snickered on the side.
Even Li Shimin almost suffocated his internal injuries.
Can't laugh, resolutely can't laugh.
This is the Hall of Virtue, above the court of the Tang Dynasty.
