Chen Xixiang looked at Li Tai and Li Ke, as if to say, look at the people, and then look at you.

But the prince is the prince after all, he has responsibility, insight, love, tolerance, and hope for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

The point is, it's good that these three children are now together and haven't been poisoned by those people in the palace.

How did he not know that the battles between the princes of previous dynasties, coupled with what His Majesty had done in Xuanwumen today, had almost collapsed the entire court.

I don't know how many people in the harem are instilling the idea of seizing power into several princes.

Hou Ye really had the foresight, and directly asked a few children to study with him, mathematics, physics, chemistry, Chen Xixiang has heard it, it is extremely interesting, although he is not young, and he has passed the fastest time to learn things, but he still carefully reads the notes of the three princes every day.

In their notes, Chen Xixiang and Chen Wenwu can always learn something new.

Chen Wenwu has always liked to investigate cases, but now with the course of chemistry, he is like opening the door to a new world.

Li Hui and Sun Simiao had just finished discussing how to reconstruct the skin on the face of a smallpox patient when Chen Wenwu rushed in.

"Master Hou, you tell me, this is not true!"

Li Hui was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

"Master Hou, I read that the second prince's notes wrote that this thing can turn bloody when it encounters water!"

"If that's the case, then the Taoist monk used to slash the demon out of thin air, isn't this the method used?"

The reason why Chen Wenwu was angry was only because he remembered that his family was not wealthy when he was a child, and he was cheated of a lot of money by a Taoist priest, and he used this trick.

Li Hui smiled, "Phenolic acyl, you go to find it yourself, this thing is not easy to get out, and also, phenolic acyl will not turn purple red when exposed to water, Li Tai is a little exaggerated." ”

"This is the only way to ...... when you encounter alkaline water"

Of course, this is not very important to Chen Wenwu at present, and he still doesn't understand what kind of chemical reaction exists in these things.

The water in the Tang Dynasty is all well water, somewhat alkaline, and the scale is extremely heavy, some Taoist monks use the substances containing phenolic acyl that are coarsely filtered out, smear them on some utensils, and spray a mouthful of alkaline water, so that there is a color change?

As if he had discovered a new continent, Chen Wenwu continued to chase Li Hui and asked, "Master Hou, what is this ammonia?"

Above the court, Li Er was already indifferent to the officials of the household department.

This was the third time in three days that they had asked for a thorough investigation of Li Hui's income and expenditure.

"Your Majesty, that Lotte Marquis Li Hui has amassed tens of thousands of taels of wealth in just a few days, it is simply a tyrannical thing, such a rampant expropriation, the people of the fiefdom are miserable, Your Majesty must be aware of it!"

Li Er frowned, you don't understand this Li Hui's way of making money, don't say you don't understand, I don't understand it myself, but I know that Li Hui not only makes money by himself, but also workers and people, as long as they follow him, they can make money.

Also, the people of Li Hui's fiefdom don't be too happy now, okay, they got the most seeds, chickens, ducks and geese one by one, this year's locust plague came, they didn't have any problems, but you, one set in their mouths and one behind their backs, I was very worried.

"Your Majesty, all the officials of the household department have written in blood, demanding a thorough investigation of the property of the Hou of Lotte!"

Li Er was furious, "You guys are still finished!" ”

"Li Hui made money, and you guys are red-eyed?"

Hubu Shangshu Gaoliang's eyes are indeed red now, and the Datang treasury is only three million taels a year, so why is Lotte Hou 500,000 taels a month?

If this continues, every year, Lotte Hou alone will be able to compare with the income of several Datang treasury.

"The minister thinks that the silver of the Lotte Marquis is not coming from the right way, and His Majesty needs to inquire about it."

Gao Liang is obviously not a reckless man, he and other officials sang and harmonized, and naturally wanted to roast Li Erjia on the fire.

Li Er knows how much tax Li Hui pays for each sum of money, and he also knows how much money he has in the treasury because of Li Hui and Chen.

Otherwise, where did Ma Zhou get the funds for the development of explosives?

Relying on the treasury of the Tang Dynasty during the Wude period? Joke!

After Li Er inherited the Datang treasury, he found that the treasury was an empty shell, and there was really not a drop left in it.

The harm caused by war to a country is too great, and all kinds of waste need to be rebuilt, and now Li Hui's voice is impressive, and you are unwilling to bring up many industries in Chang'an.

The more Li Er thought about it, the more angry he became, looking at Li Hui, and thinking about how to make Datang more prosperous, how to build roads, and how to build bridges.

What about you? Don't you have a bit of vision and pattern?

"Okay, if you want to check, go check."

Li Er is not worried that this will cause pressure on Li Hui, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, Li Hui, I want to see when you enter the court.

When Hubu Shangshu Gao Liang heard this, he immediately looked serious and eager to try, so he almost rushed out directly, ran to Lantian, found Li Hui, and interrogated him together.

After retiring from the dynasty, beside Li Er, Ma Zhou was puzzled, "Your Majesty, why did you let Hubu Shangshu go to check on the Hou Ye?" ”

"Hehe, what's the matter, you want to protect Li Hui's kid?"

"No, Your Majesty, what Master Hou did, I'm afraid Gao Liang won't be able to understand." Ma Zhou smiled confidently, "It's not that I underestimate him, even if I follow Hou Ye for so long, I can only guess one or two about what Hou Ye said and thinks, most of the situations need to be explained by Hou Ye himself, so I can understand." ”

"Hou Ye once said that when people face unknown situations, their first reaction is fear, and if Gao Liang doesn't understand, I'm afraid he will poke the basket."

Li Er was stunned, yes, Li Hui seems to have told him this, and Gao Liang is indeed this character.

"Ma Zhou, do you think Li Hui will kill Gao Liang in a fit of rage?"

Ma Zhou frowned, "Hou Ye is not that kind of person, but Gao Liang may strike first, and Hou Ye will defend." ”

Li Er nodded, "Don't worry about it, Gao Liang is Li Jiancheng's person, I don't want to use him for a long time, when the time comes, you go to be the head of the household department." ”

Gao Liang, Li Jiancheng's old department, in the struggle for power, Gao Liang gave Li Jiancheng a lot of help, at that time, a large amount of silver was lost, if there was no Gao Jiancheng, it would definitely not work.

Gao Liang said that he didn't know, but Li Er didn't believe it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want those who had followed him for many years to enter the mess of the household department, Li Er would have already attacked Gao Liang.

Besides, he was surrounded by a bunch of generals, either prime ministers, and there was no one suitable to be a household secretary.

Wei Zheng had been a household secretary for a period of time before, but because he was too strict, he was impeached by the officials under him, and he was recently replaced by Gao Liang.

It was an expedient measure, and at this time Ma Zhou became the most suitable candidate.

"You have learned a lot of economic methods from Li Hui, and you will do it first when the time comes, I am very optimistic about you!"
