"Ahem, cough, cough......" Li Shimin coughed his throat.

Only then did the three of them notice that His Majesty had stood in front of them, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

This time, His Majesty and the Empress did not bring the children, but none of the soldiers and horses escorted were missing, and the escort was Wei Chigong.

Li Tai has been a smart child since he was a child, and he is more clever but less considerate of the overall situation.

Since the world was calmed down, Li Xiaogong has become more and more unambitious, does not pay attention to anything, and has begun to be a loose person.

And Zhang Yang, a dead one who wants money.

For these three people, Li Shimin had an inexplicable disappointment in his heart, as if the characteristics of this Tang scum were all in the three of them.

Originally, Li Tai was not a scum.

Later, I followed Zhang Yang for a long time......

"Father is alright?" Li Shimin still asked.

"Grandpa Huang is fine, and now he is stewing chicken soup at home."

Li Tai took a step behind and replied.

Li Xiaogong and Zhang Yang walked together, and the two of them were three or two steps behind.

At this time, in Li Yuan's mansion, Empress Changsun brought a lot of new clothes and new bedding, and took away the old bedding and clothes from last year, and they all had to be replaced with new ones this year.

Li Yue and a few palace maids were helping to sort out their clothes.

In fact, Li Yuan's residence is very clean, and Li Tai often comes to arrange for people to clean it on weekdays.

The three of them stood aside, and Li Tai whispered, "What are the fathers and grandfathers talking about?" ”

At this moment, I couldn't hear His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang standing in the distance talking about anything, sorting out the things brought by the palace, Li Yue and the queen walked together.

Zhang Yang vaguely heard his daughter-in-law asking the queen how to run the house, manage Lishan, and how to be a good housewife in the family.

Whenever the queen came to Lishan, she always had to ask many things and how to arrange the fiefdom management.

The queen is in charge of the harem, Li Yue is in charge of the huge family business, and there are still many places to consult in terms of management and strategy.

After Li Yuan and Li Shimin talked for a long time, they looked back at the three people.

Zhang Yang turned his head to look at Li Tai, and then looked at Li Xiaogong.

The fat man was picking at the mud between his fingernails with an absent-minded expression.

Li Xiaogong looked up at the sky, as if he was wandering outside the sky.

"You three come here."

His Majesty finally spoke, and the three of them came forward after coming to their senses, and asked the people in the palace to bring tables and chairs, and the five of them sat down.

After first looking at Li Yuan's expression, Li Shimin said: "Qingque, you have seen everything you have learned on Lishan Mountain, the compilation of the Kuodi Chronicles is very good, and the court has praised you a lot. ”

Li Tai arched his hand and said: "This is what the sons and daughters should do, and they should share their worries for their father." ”

Li Shimin frowned and thought, "It's just that someone in the court mentioned the matter of letting you go to the fiefdom again." ”

It is said that this matter has been mentioned many times, and the reason why Li Tai is still staying in Lishan and not going to the fief is also because of the compilation of the Kuodi Chronicles.

If you want to say that the prince who has recently become an adult, Li Ke has a position in the army, because he has a military position, it doesn't hurt to stay, and he has an excuse to stay.

Li Shimin said again: "Your queen mother often thinks of you and hopes that you can stay, but it is a matter of government affairs, even if you are going to a fiefdom, your queen mother will not say much." ”

Li Yuan sat upright and did not speak.

Li Xiaogong crossed his legs, closed his eyes and remained motionless, like a wood carving.

Zhang Yang coughed his throat, just coughing like this, he felt a gaze looking at him, this gaze was very firm, very persistent, and with some annoyance.

That's right, this is Li Tai's gaze.

Zhang Yang supported the handle of the seat with his elbow, the chair on the Emperor's side was very comfortable to sit on, and Niu Chuang's craftsmanship was really getting better and better.

And with his wrist on his chin, he said: "The Foreign Affairs Institute is compiling a geographical chronicle, which is different from the geographical chronicle, which includes the geographical knowledge inside and outside the Guan, and even the climate and geographical conditions in Persia. ”

"The minister thought that he could be appointed as the editor of His Royal Highness the King of Wei and serve as the chief of the Ministry of Rites, so he would not go to the fief first, and complete the compilation in his hand before leaving."

Li Yuan glanced at his grandson and finally spoke, "My grandson is too humble to be a promiser. ”

"I think it's good."

Li Shimin immediately refuted.

None of the princes are involved in political affairs, and the princes have never served in the court, and even if they do, most of them are in the military.

Since Li Tai is to stay, and he can't let him have too much contact with Wenchen, Cheng Yilang is indeed very good, and he can concentrate on compiling geography.

Li Yuan just frowned and didn't say anything more.

The son is used to this kind of thing, and everything else can be followed, but the government can't interfere.

In this regard, Li Shimin has absolutely clear boundaries.

After talking about Li Tai, the palace maid from the palace brought tea, and as soon as Li Shimin picked up the tea, Li Yuan got up and left.

This made Li Shimin hold the tea bowl and hang it down, and he didn't hold it.

just contradicted a sentence, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.

Li Xiaogong patted his head, "The chicken is still stewed, a certain family will go and see it first." ”

Seeing the situation, Li Tai followed, "Go with Uncle Wang." ”

The two of them left very sensibly, and the atmosphere at the moment was a little delicate.

Then Li Yuan walked into the house, and now only His Majesty and Zhang Yang were left in front of him.

"There were many things that had not yet been agreed between the DPRK and China before the retirement last year, except for the imperial examination and the construction of the Hanhai Imperial Protectorate, oh...... And your business. ”

Zhang Yang didn't take the tea in front of him, he just sat with his hands in his hands and looked respectful, "Your Majesty, I have been recuperating in Lishan, how can I have any business, I laughed, I laughed......"

"Hehehe......" Li Shimin laughed for a while and took a sip of tea.

Okay, the explanation was a little perfunctory, Zhang Yang changed his sitting posture, "The discussion between the court and the central government is all decided by His Majesty, except for the matter of money." ”

"Lishan presided over the operation of the Hexi Corridor and sold grain and wine from Guanzhong outside the Guanzhong, and there were many impeachments in the DPRK and China, and some people thought that this matter was wrong, and the grain that Guanzhong had worked hard to grow should not be sold, but should be prepared for emergencies."

"There are still people who think you are right, of course, there are very few voices, and there are very few related movements, and it seems that there are few people in the court to help you."

Zhang Yang bowed slightly, "It turned out that he was impeached." ”

Li Shimin nodded.

It's just that some people think this matter is wrong, some people think this matter is wrong, and as for who said it, the emperor will not talk about it, and he will not say it clearly.

Naturally, there is no need to ask.

I will never make my own choice, I will only make a choice to my courtiers, the vicious Heavenly Khan!

The weather is fine today, and after the snow on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is sunny and warm today.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty how much money is the rice in Chang'an City now?"

"Doumi five coins!"

The answer was very fast, with the current price of food in Datang, it is difficult to starve people to death, and they will not starve to death.

Four years after the Tang Dynasty, the climate of the Central Plains entered a warm cycle, and the wind and rain were smooth for several years, bringing abundant grain to the Central Plains.

The military system of tuntian and grain also played a certain role, and wherever the army arrived, the fields were cultivated.

A good way to save the cost of employing troops and increase the number of acres of land.

Last year, this Tian Khan changed the military system to Zhichong Mansion, and many of the military rules of Zhichong Mansion still retain the rules of the military system.

This can also be regarded as an evolution of the government military system, and the people in the customs are in all directions, and the country has 600,000 soldiers and horses, which can be fully raised.

The intention of the government soldiers to restructure the Zhichong Mansion is still to weaken the local area and concentrate the power of a purpose, the Zhichong Mansion has no subordinate relationship with the local territorial officials, and the main soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion are more than 200,000 in Guanzhong.

Weakening the local government and strengthening the centralization of power, it is not yet known whether Li Shimin will use the utility of the Zhichong Mansion in the Metropolitan Protectorate in the future.

Zhang Yang thought about the current situation in Guanzhong, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty thinks the price of five dollars for doumi is appropriate?" ”

Li Shimin smiled, "I often watch the concerto, and there is abundant food in various places, which is a good thing." ”

It's good that the emperor will not respond unequivocally to such words.

It was always tiring to talk to the emperor, so I had to continue: "The current price is five yuan of rice, what about the future?" Four dollars of rice? Three dollars for rice, two dollars? ”

His expression finally began to be solemn, and these words were useful.

"Now that Guanzhong is rich in grain, the food burden in the official warehouse is still very large, and it is almost impossible to hoard it, is it possible that all this grain is moldy and sprouts?"

"Blindly selling grain at home will only make the price lower and lower, farmers are working hard and busy, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and the price of grain is blindly involuted and consumed, and in the end it is my Datang farmers who are hurt."

"There is no shortage of grain in the Central Plains, but there is not necessarily so much grain in other places, and the expansion of export sales can reduce internal friction, which is like a war, once the expansion stops, there will be no opponents, and in the face of the Turks, the DPRK and China share the same hatred and hatred, and the power of external unity is huge."

"But if there is no opponent, continue to nest in one place, it will only make the contradictions in the customs more and more intense, and finally out of control, sometimes business is the same as fighting, and it also needs to be expanded, and it can also promote the friendship of Datang while selling food, and it can bring wealth to Datang after selling, which is a good thing."

After the words were finished, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

Zhang Yang drank the tea indifferently, and his heart was also swaying.

I don't know if it's okay to chase milk like this.

kept instilling ambition in him, making this heavenly khan more self-motivated.

"I will let the Zhongshu Province discuss."

After holding back for a long time, Li Shimin just said such a sentence.

As his power grew, the emperor's frame became bigger and bigger, and his speech became more and more calm.

Nothing is given a clear answer.

"That's right, Your Majesty! Is the tax in our Hexi Corridor coming soon? ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin came to the spirit, "You have also seen the accounts?" ”

Zhang Yang waved his hand and showed an honest and honest smile, "Di Zhixun also gave the accounts to Lishan." ”

With a dark face, Li Shimin looked left and right, "Aren't you very happy, very proud?" ”

"How dare you."

Zhang Yang still smiled honestly and honestly.

I really want to tear off this kid's honest and kind face, and see how treacherous and cunning the face under him is.

Then hang him in front of the Chengtian Gate, bleeding while withstanding the wind and sun.

It must have been a beautiful scene.

Taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I think that the tax agreed at the beginning is unreasonable. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang's face also sank, "Your Majesty, don't you want to regret it?" ”

"You designed me, you didn't make it clear to me that the Hexi Corridor would be so rich."

"How could I possibly know that the Hexi Corridor is rich!" Zhang Yang slapped the table, "Since Your Majesty wants to regret it, you can also pay back all the 130,000 yuan of silver that was used to build the Hexi Corridor in previous years, and from then on, we will not interfere in the affairs of the Hexi Corridor." ”

How dare this kid slap the table in front of me? Li Shimin's nostrils let out of his nostrils, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped, "You know that I can't take out so much money." ”

"Then divide the money as agreed."

"You bastard!"

"Your own family should also settle accounts!"

The courtyard of the Emperor Taishang is not small, it is one of the largest courtyards in the entire Lishan Village, and in the corner of the wall, Li Tai and Li Xiaogong are sitting on a small stool, and there are two chickens on the low table in front of them.

These two fighting cocks are ill-fated, they were originally used by Li Yuanchang to curry favor with the emperor, and letting these two chickens fight together on weekdays can also relieve boredom.

But as soon as they arrived at Lishan, they were slaughtered by the Emperor Taishang.

In this Datang, where material resources are scarce and entertainment activities are even more scarce.

Chickens are meant to be eaten and don't have much ornamental use.

So at the moment it became a meal on the plate.

Li Xiaogong and Li Tai can eat one each, biting the chicken, and looking at Zhang Yang, who was talking to His Majesty not far away.

The scene was very exciting, His Majesty's face suddenly turned red and suddenly turned a little blue, as for Zhang Yang, he gritted his teeth, and it was another slap on the table.

The two of them watched it with relish and ate it even more with relish.

Li Tai chewed chicken in his mouth, that is, the chicken of this chicken is very firewood and needs to be chewed in his mouth for a long time.

Li Xiaogong ate happily, and he was in a good mood when he saw this scene.

To say that this person is sophisticated, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, treats Zhang Yang like his own son and nephew, and even stepped forward to protect Lishan at a critical time, which has become Li Shimin's eyes in Lishan now.

And Li Tai and Zhang Yang are brothers-in-law and brother-in-law, and the relationship between them is more like brothers who have lived in love.

There are always so many bad friends in life, and in the face of this situation, Li Tai would rather eat this dry and chewy chicken than help his brother-in-law say a word.

If the two of them fight, it will be a big problem, who will they help?

If you help your brother-in-law, you will offend your father, and if you help your father, you will offend your brother-in-law.

Li Tai was still struggling, and saw Li Xiaogong bumping himself with his arm, "Uncle Wang, what are you doing?" ”

"Chicken feet are for you to eat, a certain family is not good for this bite."

"Uncle Xie." Li Tai took the chicken paw and gnawed it again.

From the beginning of the whispered discussion, the voice of the monarch and the ministers quarreling became louder and louder, only to see His Majesty overturn the table, "Lishan is so rich, you still have to worry about these things with me?" ”

Zhang Yang stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if you only make friends and don't talk about money, you can't do this business!" ”

"You!" His Majesty, whose face was blue with anger and bloodshot eyes, was trembling, trembling with anger.

"I asked you to read more sage books, where have you read, you ......"

"Saints who only build morality, do not focus on the development of people's livelihood, and do not look at the life and death of the world are bastards!"
