Although Li Chengqian also admits that folk women are beautiful and good-looking, it doesn't mean that he likes them.

He's very discerning, okay.

Besides, no matter how beautiful those folk women are, they can't compare to his crown princess in terms of temperament, and they can't compare to the satisfaction of both men and women in terms of appearance.

How could he leave a legacy of blood outside.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, he got a woman outside, and he can bring it back.

If a child is said to be a genius in his life, his vein can be more brilliant.

He doesn't abuse that child, that child can't take revenge on him because he is a concubine, this is not the that is prevalent in Chang'an City.

"Brother, you better read less picture books, you're not mentally normal."

Li Chengqian said to Li Kuan with emotion.

Li Kuan looked at him with disdain, and said disdainfully: "Don't forget, the reason why you know that I read the picture book is because the people of our two families bumped into each other when they bought it." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly explained: "I bought it for the crown princess." ”

Li Kuan was silent and did not refute, just when Li Chengqian thought that Li Kuan was speechless, Li Kuan slowly spoke: "The prince's two or three things, that forbidden book was written by the crown princess. ”

"You think you said you bought her books, I believe it."

Although Li Kuan looks at these nonsense female romances, he will also check who wrote it and look for the author.

I don't want anything else, I just want to know what kind of person the author can write such a nonsense book.

Li Chengqian was a little angry, why did Li Kuan say this fact, since this is the case, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Hehe, but your wife, Xiao Chen is also writing non-stop."

"Let's two brothers, don't laugh at anyone."

Li Kuan and Li Chengqian stopped talking, and tacitly picked up the wine glass and drank it.

Brothers, there is a wife who loves to write nonsense, who understands this feeling.

After a while, a refreshing evening breeze blew, and Li Kuan slowly spoke: "Let's go back to formality, I remember that you went to the island, how about it?" ”

"Is it the same as the paperwork sent from all over the place?"

"They've got a lot of serious development."

Li Kuan did not trust some information.

In Li Kuan's eyes, some officials will hide.

For example, a region is recorded as a desolate place in the imperial records, uninhabited for thousands of miles, but in fact it is a forbidden descendant of a certain family.

The family has been an official there for many years, hiding the development here.

The state sends people to develop it, but it will always be blocked due to various circumstances.

Don't think this situation is different, as far as Li Kuan knows, Li Shimin once did this, and the number of a certain army has long been canceled, but they have always existed, and they have been receiving military salaries from the state all year round.

The state does not know that they exist, they do not know that they have been canceled, only the behind-the-scenes manipulators know that this army exists illegally, and the military salary they are holding is given by Li Shimin himself.

The same goes for development.

And the reason for this is a poor information gap.

Li Chengqian yawned and said lazily: "It's exactly the same, they didn't deceive people." ”

"The progress of the island's development there is not much different from the information they have submitted to the state."

"The only problem is that there are some states and counties that have skewed their populations."

Li Kuan raised an eyebrow.

"Someone is stealing people and creating false prosperity."

Li Chengqian nodded, that's right, but he doesn't know who operated it, and he needs to investigate.

Good guy, Li Kuan was completely speechless.

Now there is still a family doing this, more or less taking him seriously.

Stealing people from the Tang Dynasty to their own places caused a shortage of people in the counties, but in order not to be found out, they made up the taxes for this part of the population every year, and increased them every year to create false prosperity.

As long as the actual population of the counties and counties grows faster than the rate at which they falsified, it will be leveled out in seven or eight years, and then they will be able to withdraw.

"I thought that the war in Central Asia was over, and this kind of thing would end after those families steadily occupied the territory, but there are still people doing it."

In Li Kuan's heart, only the five surnames and seven hopes, plus those middle and lower family associations, can rely on their huge size to do this.

Li Chengqian smiled, didn't say anything, and turned to another topic.

"In the south, many officials are digging people in the deep mountains and old forests."

"In order to better control South Asia, the southern family secretly moved a large number of people."

"There's a big hole over there, too."

"However, I think the bottom line is that the family's political network has not been completely eliminated."

"In my investigation, many of those officials did this to return favors."

"It's hard to repay the debt of favors."

Li Kuan frowned and said in a low voice: "I know something about this." ”

"But because there is no problem with the taxation in the south, and the speed at which they organize households and gather the people is very fast, Your Majesty and I don't think too much about it."

"After all, you also know that the family politics in the south are heavier than those in the north, and their ambitions there are much smaller."

The Southern Family is an amazing species.

You say they are strong, their dream has always been to divide one side.

You say they are not strong, they can divide one side in every era, and then be defeated and retreat.

"So you and your father are ready to indulge the development of the South?"

"Just because they're so ambitious?"

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, he felt that the development of this plot was more or less poisonous, or highly toxic.

Li Kuan shook his head.

"How can you allow the southern family to develop freely, no matter how small your ambitions are, but if you keep indulging, you will grow into a towering tree."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, and he thought that Li Kuan and Li Shimin were going to indulge.

After all, the Tang Dynasty's current focus is on Goguryeo.

Thinking of Goguryeo, Li Chengqian spoke again: "By the way, what are you going to do in Goguryeo?" ”

"Also, when are you going to change our positions?"

"When my father and emperor set out to conquer Liaodong, someone had to stay behind to supervise the country, it couldn't be me."

"Or I will be in charge of you under the guise of power, if so, then I will be miserable."

Li Kuan hurriedly shook his head.

"How could we possibly do something to humiliate you."

"We're not crazy yet."

Li Kuan said that no matter how much Li Shimin values him, it is impossible for him to do such a humiliating thing as letting Li Chengqian supervise the country and holding real power in his hands.

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that his father's head would have a convulsion.

"It should be before Your Majesty sets out on the expedition, and the identities of the two of us will be reversed at that time."

"And the expedition to Goguryeo will probably start officially next year."

"After this battle, Datang will enter a long period of war-free stage."

After speaking, Li Kuan raised his head and looked at the night sky, and muttered in his heart: "This will be the last battle to destroy the country in the year of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"After that, it's time for the development of a new era."
