The two old smoking guns chatted without a word, as if they were homely, but it was also relaxed, but it was a little smoking.

"Your Majesty."

Xu Fenglei took out a booklet from his arms and handed it over,

"You see, this is a question I got from my private research."

"There are a lot of people's demands."

Li Shimin shook off the ashes of his cigarette, took the booklet, and looked at Xu Fenglei with a surprised expression.

"Hear clearly...... Did you go to the folk walk? ”

He asked.

When I opened the booklet, the small words on it instantly caught Li Er's eyes.

"That's right."

Xu Fenglei grinned,

"You don't really think that I, a prisoner, am just lazy and slippery all day long and don't do business, right?"

"Then you really underestimate me Xu! In his place, he is in power! It's just that I'm not taking the usual path. ”

He is not familiar with government affairs, so it is better to hand it over to capable ministers such as Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji, who are skilled in business.

What he is good at is going to the grassroots, going to the countryside to investigate, and listening to the voices of the people.

Phew.

"Grain, water, taxes, weapons, security, ......"

Li Shimin kept looking at it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he patted the booklet and praised,

"Yes, yes!"

"Listen, it's my mistake to blame you, it's my mistake! You kid, you're really doing practical things! ”

"These livelihood problems you recorded are impossible in the court, but they are indeed universal and existent, and I also know some ......."

"For example, this scramble for water is a fight over water, which has been going on since ancient times; I also know a little bit about these tricks when paying taxes, but I don't remember it in such detail as you here. ”

"Looking at the words recorded above, the grievances of the common people seem to be not small......

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"Indeed."

He is right,

"These are related to the survival of the people at the bottom, and if they are not good for them, they will naturally have complaints."

"What I recorded was dictated by farmers in the countryside, adhering to the word 'true', without a single word of deletion or polish."

"The tone of the peasants, that's it, maybe a little crude, but every word goes straight to the core."

"The voice at the bottom is weak, but it is also the strongest."

Li Shimin kept looking at the booklet and nodded again and again.

"You're doing the right thing."

He answered,

"There has always been a change of dynasty, that is, the resentment of the common people is too heavy, and in the end, you also speak out, and I also speak out, and it becomes one, forming the strongest voice and sweeping the world."

"Chen Sheng's sentence of the prince and the prince will be Xiangning is still in my ears, so I have to be cautious!"

"I am also half of the founding monarch, and I have to let the people break free from the quagmire of war and hardship and live a good life, so that people's hearts can be turned to Tang."

"Your Majesty." Xu Fenglei complimented.

I have to say that it is still very comfortable to have a monarch like Li Er, with great talent and strategy, and also attaches importance to the livelihood of small people, no wonder he has only been in power for more than 20 years, but he can be praised as a model emperor for future generations.

The two were chatting, but when they saw a messenger come to the courtyard, they saluted and said:

"Your Majesty, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, has an excerpt, please read it."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The King of the River? What's the deal with him? ”

He was amazed,

"Hand it over."

"Yes."

The eunuch respectfully presented the fold,

Li Shimin opened it casually, only glanced at it twice, and couldn't help laughing.

"This Li Xiaogong really loves to pat my ass, he will praise me if he has nothing to do, and he will praise me very much, and his flesh will be numb to death."

Li Er quipped,

"I don't know, I thought he was my loyal little brother."

In fact, Li Xiaogong is much older than Li Shimin and is his cousin.

"What did he say?"

Xu Fenglei was interested, and came over and said,

"Let me see?"

Li Shimin handed it over.

"It is said that a few years ago there was always a drought and locust plague, but this year it is a good wind and rain, obviously it is my virtue that touched the heavens, and the heavens rewarded the virtuous king, so this year's harvest is abundant."

Li Er said with a smile,

"In addition, I have also destroyed the Turks, and I have all the cultural and martial arts, which is enough to do the thing of sealing Zen, and I ask me to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen!"

"Isn't that a fuss, you say? Running Mount Tai with great fanfare to seal Zen? How can I be so idle, I just came back from the palace! ”

Xu Fenglei looked at the folds, and looked at Li Xiaogong's series of rainbow farts, and also smiled.

"The King of Hejian is a straightforward man, and his praise for His Majesty is not all praise."

He said,

"After all, this year is indeed a year without much disaster, and the people have a good harvest and live in peace."

"Defeating the Turks is also a miracle."

"Compared with the emperors who have been enshrined in Mount Tai in the past, His Majesty seems to be indeed qualified to enshrine Mount Tai, and his name has been immortalized."

"Huh?" Li Shimin was surprised, "Do you think I can go to Mount Tai to seal Zen?" I thought you would directly belittle Li Xiaogong. ”

After all, in his mind, Xu Fenglei has always been pragmatic and not pragmatic.

"Nope."

Xu Fenglei smiled lightly,

"I'm just stating the facts."

"Besides, Li Xiaogong can be on this excerpt, which means that there must be many people in the DPRK and China who support this matter, you see, there is a row of joint small words behind this, I see that there is no shortage of ministers from three provinces and six ministries, and the name of the eldest grandson Wuji is on it."

"Feng Chan, that will make a strong mark in the history books, no matter the emperor or the minister, it will be recorded."

"Your Majesty is really not impressed?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly and groaned.

He looked at the rainbow fart joint name of Li Xiaogong and the ministers for a while, and then looked at Xu Fenglei's livelihood booklet, and in the end, he finally smiled bitterly.

"If I didn't have your booklet in front of me, I would be a little excited."

Li Er said with emotion,

"After all, showing merit to heaven and showing prestige in the four seas is what every emperor wants to do."

"According to what Li Xiaogong said, I seem to be qualified, but your livelihood booklet tells me that I am far from enough."

"I don't have enough confidence, and it's not interesting to go."

"If there is a day, I can let the people of the world live a life of abundant food and clothing, and it is not too late to go to Zen again!"

With a bang, Li Shimin stood up, handed the fold back to the eunuch, and at the same time, handed over Xu Fenglei's booklet together.

"Fold this letter and send it back to Zhongshu Province!"

Li Shimin commanded,

"Help me ask Li Xiaogong and the ministers who asked me to be crowned with Zen Taishan - have they eaten too much? Or is there nothing to do in the DPRK? ”

"If there is nothing to do, give them this booklet and let them solve the problems of people's livelihood!"

"After solving all these problems, I will go to Mount Tai to seal Zen!"

"Let's go down!"

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he snickered.

The livelihood issues in his booklet are very complex and acute! Even if it was industrialized, it was not completely solved in later generations.

Some of these ministers have a headache!

"Blind ......"

Li Shimin threw away the cigarette butt, stepped on the ground twice, and then took out two more from his arms.

"Smoke another one."

He flicked one finger to Xu Fenglei, got up and stretched, and sighed,

"After taking a breath, go to sleep for a while, and starting tomorrow, I will be the good emperor who is diligent and loves the people!"

"I'll be with you." Xu Fenglei took it with a smile.

Wow.

Two cigarettes are lit simultaneously.

The smoke inside the house is like a fairyland.

……

Autumn goes to winter, snow disappears, and spring comes.

Thundered!

An electric arc crossed the air, but I saw the dense raindrops scattered on the ground, and the green shoots in the lawn began to emerge.

This year is the fifth year of Zhenguan.

Taiji Palace, in front of the Liangyi Palace, crowded with people.

"Spring rain is as expensive as oil."

Xiao Yu continued with the drizzling rain, and said with a smile,

"At the beginning of the year, there was snow, and now look at the rain, it seems that this year is another harvest year!"

"This is all thanks to Your Majesty Shengming Dehou!"

When the ministers heard this, they all agreed.

"Greetings!"

The eunuch shouted, and the ministers stopped talking, lined up in line, and entered the Liangyi Hall one after another.

On the jade steps, Li Shimin was sitting.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

The ministers stood still, and the mountains shouted long live.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

Li Shimin was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.

I saw him holding a book in his hand and said with a smile:

"Last year, the grain production and tax revenue of the whole Tang Dynasty came out, which is gratifying."

"The output of one year is more than the first year of Zhenguan to the third year of Zhenguan, and the sum of these three years is more!"

"If there is more food, the tax revenue is naturally rich, if this can be done every year, why worry that the people are not comfortable living and the country is not rich?"

When the ministers heard this, they were all overjoyed.

"This is all the work of His Majesty's administration."

The eldest grandson Wuji came out of the ranks,

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, disasters have decreased dramatically, and man-made disasters have been few."

"Today's Datang, the price of grain and rice is cheap, a bucket of rice, only two dollars, this is an unprecedented reserve price!"

"The people of the Tang Dynasty, everyone can afford to eat food, even poor peasants can be hungry! Ruling the world like this, even when it was the time of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, there was never one! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji came up with a rainbow fart, and Li Er's eyes narrowed.

"Good, very good, hahaha......"

Li Shimin laughed and said,

"This is not only the credit of one person, but also thanks to the assistance of all Aiqing, I can have such proud results!"

"I'm going to give you more!"

He was so happy now!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers bowed their heads and looked happy.

The salary has been raised, who is not happy?

"In the autumn of last year, the ministers asked His Majesty to seal Mount Tai, but His Majesty rejected it on the grounds that the people's livelihood was unresolved."

The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand and said loudly,

"And now, such a low price of food is really an excellent answer! Now that the governance of the country has achieved such great results, with His Majesty's martial arts, we should go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, sue the emperor, and the mother of the earth, so as to show the merits of the Tang Emperor to rule the world! ”

"Your Majesty's permission."

When he said this, many ministers in the left and right columns stood up and said with their hands:

"Your Majesty's three emperors and the five emperors of Dechao, you should do the thing of sealing Zen and announce it to the emperor of heaven and earth!"

"Your Majesty's permission!"

Ministers, please seal Zen!

Li Shimin's body was slightly straightened.

Last year, he felt that he had no confidence, so he did not dare to go.

But now.

Just by virtue of the low grain price of Datang, no matter how poor the people are, they can eat a mouthful of hot rice......

He felt that he had confidence!

Maybe......

Should you go to Mount Tai and show off your achievements?

Whether there is an emperor of heaven and earth in this world, he doesn't know.

But he knows that as long as he goes to seal Zen, he will definitely leave an extremely brilliant mark in the history books, and his prestige can be spread all over the world!

I have to say that Li Er was a little moved.

Immediately, he lowered his gaze and glanced at Xu Fenglei first.

Well, Xu Fenglei's expression was as usual, and he didn't look like he was going to object.

Look at Wei Zheng again......

Not good!

This Wei Zheng is going to be bad again!

At the moment when Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng's eyes were also suddenly high-spirited, staring at Li Shimin.

Look at each other!

"Your Majesty!"

Wei Zheng stepped out of the column and said loudly,

"The minister thinks that the low price of grain is not a thing worthy of praise, and it must not be regarded as a merit."

"On the contrary, there is a great hidden danger in this!"

As soon as these words came out, countless eyes fell on Wei Zheng's body.

"Wei Zheng, aren't you talking nonsense? How can this not be considered merit? This is a great achievement that has never been done before! ”

"Exactly! Isn't it good that the low price of food can make the people have enough to eat? Do you want food to be expensive? ”

"Really, nonsense, you can't disparage for the sake of derogatory, right!"

“……”

With simple thoughts, the ministers began to criticize Wei Zheng.

Such a beautiful political achievement, to the point that you have become a hidden danger?

Nonsense!

However, at the moment when Wei Zheng was about to be overwhelmed by this pile of spittle, Xu Fenglei, who ranked first among the Wenchens, suddenly spoke:

"Minister, I also agree with Duke Wei's opinion."

"The low price of grain is not a good thing, and the imperial court should come forward to control it and raise the price of grain."

Ministers: "?! ”

Li Shimin: "?! ”

Xu Fenglei is a master of the dynasty, and his words are very heavy!

Therefore, he generally does not speak, and usually touches fish in the court.

But if he makes a comment, even if it is a 'violent theory' in the eyes of everyone, he will be immediately taken seriously, and some people will even reflect -

Is there such a thing?

Li Shimin's brows furrowed.

"Master, what do you think?"

He whispered,

"Tell me about it."

Xu Fenglei smiled and pointed at Wei Zheng.

"Let's ask Gong Wei to speak."

He said,

"Duke Wei proposed it first, but the minister just echoed it, so it was not good to steal the limelight from Duke Wei."

Li Shimin pursed his lips.

Wei Zheng speaks hard and straightforward, so he doesn't like to listen to Wei Zheng, especially in the court.

But since Xu Fenglei said so, he had no choice but to nod towards Wei Zheng.

"Wei Aiqing, tell me about your amazing theory!"

Wei Zheng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, have you heard of a word called the grain and the peasants?"

"The price of grain is low, which naturally sounds like a good thing, but has Your Majesty ever thought that the people who worked hard to cultivate the land would get a bumper harvest and only get such a small amount of money in the end, what would they think?"

"If the price of grain falls to an unacceptable level, then farmers will definitely give up growing grain and grow more profitable crops such as vegetables, fruits, and melons."

"In this way, the harvest of the coming year will be greatly reduced! In this case, if there is another unpredictable natural disaster, it will be ......"

Li Shimin's back was cold.
