Hearing the praise of the ministers, Yan Liben smiled modestly.

"Your Majesty has praised it, and your ministers have a good reputation."

He said,

"I'm just depicting the real scene."

"Actually, the eldest brother is the same as me, but he didn't handle the details well, after all, he has not touched the brush for many years, and he has been deeply involved in the Ministry of Industry, and it is indeed a little difficult for him to be comprehensive."

This kid can be said to be full of emotional intelligence, and he helped my brother find some back.

Yan Lide looked at his little brother, and was so moved that he almost burst into tears!

"Yes, I know."

Li Shimin stroked his palms and smiled,

"Lide is loyal to his duties in the Ministry of Industry, and he has to help the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to deal with government affairs every day, and often fights at night, which I have also heard of."

"This time is a small mistake at most, Lide, don't have a pimple in your heart, I am optimistic about a diligent and down-to-earth minister like you!"

Xu Fenglei: "......"

This Li Er, there is something in the words!

Lao Tzu shook his hand, isn't that more energy to teach your unlucky bear children?

By the way, just be lazy......

"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Lide bowed and said movingly.

"Your Majesty, the first two paintings, whether they are cutting locusts or swallowing locusts, are a little sad. In the opinion of the minister, another painting should be made to end the jubilant scene at this time. ”

Yan Liben said again,

"With the subordinate Xu Gong as the protagonist, how about blowing up the locusts and eating them, causing His Majesty and the people to be happy?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Okay, this is good!"

He clapped his hands and said,

"The locust plague is a disaster, but with the unremitting efforts of me and Aiqing, and the whimsical ideas of Tingming, we have turned sorrow into joy!"

"Okay, you'll draw another one! This time, I want to focus on the people, and I want to see the optimism and hope on their faces! Got it? ”

"Yes." Yan Liben said yes and started painting.

In his heart, he already has a draft, and painting at this moment is naturally smooth.

"Listen, this locust industry is a start, how do you plan to develop next?"

Li Shimin casually picked up a string of locusts that had been fried, and asked as he walked.

It's not too early at this time, and it's almost time for him to go back to the palace.

The pestle is here, and the people can't let go, right?

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't plan to develop, just let it grow savagely."

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"I am only responsible for spreading the seed, which grows into a towering tree with many branches; Or died halfway through, and has been declining ever since, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Now that a simple market has been established, catching locusts, buying, cooking, selling, it's a virtuous cycle that doesn't require me to interfere anymore."

"As for how this industry is, leave it to the market to test, if it is liked by the people, it will naturally be able to flourish."

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"You are free and easy, I faintly feel that this industry is quite profitable." He said.

Xu Fenglei shook his head and smiled.

"The minister said that the minister is not interested in money."

He said casually.

"Just do it, there's no need to hold on, give the people a little more room for development."

Li Shimin's eyes showed approval.

The kid in front of him now has a huge amount of wealth in control, but he doesn't smell of copper at all.

Perhaps, it is with this state of mind!

"Let's go."

He waved his hand, and was about to step on the dragon chariot, but as far as his eyes could see, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl in the corner of the city wall.

The girl had a straw mark on her head.

"Huh?"

Li Shimin retracted his leg and walked to the base of the city wall.

Beside the girl, there was a woman in rags and rags, but when she saw that her face was withered and haggard, she trembled her lips and said:

"Guys, buy her!"

"Think of it as buying a kitten and a puppy......"

Hearing this, all the ministers who followed the emperor looked at each other in surprise.

At the feet of this Son of Heaven, there was a tragedy of selling sons and daughters?!

"Li Tai!"

Xu Fenglei suddenly shouted.

"Ahh Master......"

Li Tai had a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly stuffed the skewers in his hand into his mouth and ran towards Xu Fenglei.

Master's name is "Daimyo", so it's probably not a good thing!

"Take the snacks you carry...... Take it out. ”

Xu Fenglei commanded.

Li Tai blinked, spread his hands and said:

"Master...... If the child doesn't eat, where do you get the snacks? ”

Xu Fenglei glanced at him, his eyes sharp.

Li Tai: "!! ”

The next moment, he obediently took out a bag of pastries from his lining pocket and handed it over obediently.

"Master, give ......"

Well-behaved .jpg.

No way...... Master's eyes are terrible!

I had to start with Ah.

"Go ahead."

Xu Fenglei kicked him lightly and snorted softly,

"Stop eating, collect the stall and go back to the palace! A few of you will count the few of you who sell the least, and you will eat it all by yourself! ”

"Yes, hey, hey, hey......"

Li Tai sneered and ran away like a smoke.

At the same time, Li Shimin looked at the dirty little girl, raised his eyes and said:

"How much does it cost?"

The woman's eyes were blank, her hands trembled and raised, first comparing two, but hesitantly withdrawing a finger, and whispering:

"One, one or two pieces of silver......

"Master, buy her, buy her, just buy a kitten, buy a puppy......"

"Master, buy her......"

She dodged her eyes and kept repeating the words "buy her".

"Mother......

The girl hugged her mother's thigh and whimpered and cried.

"A tael of silver."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, his eyes were full of shock,

"Is such a big living person only worth one or two pieces of silver?"

"I thought that such a thing could only happen in a crazy troubled world, but how could there be such a tragic thing in this Zhenguan Dynasty......"

"It's only a tael of silver!"

He couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand.

The World of Peace...... Can human life be so cheap?!

"Come, girl, give."

Xu Fenglei handed the delicate pastry in his hand to the girl's hand, and said softly,

"Eat."

Swish!

When the girl saw the food, like a hungry jackal, she snatched it into her hand and devoured it with great gulp!

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Xu Fenglei casually summoned a water bladder and sent it to her.

But the girl didn't look at it, risking being choked to death, and kept stuffing pastries into her mouth, as if she would be snatched away in the next second!

That look is really pitiful.

"Qingque, you take out some more, this girl is really hungry......"

Li Chengqian looked at the girl and urged his younger brother.

Li Tai dug into his pockets all over his body, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "...... It's gone, it's gone, I already knew to bring more! There's nothing else to eat at this time, so let's fry some locusts for her to eat! ”
