When Li Ke and Li Yan were discussing, at this moment, Shandong Prefecture, Bohai Shipyard, Li Shimin's team had also arrived here.

"Erlang, I heard that Chang Lin Chang Nei has been sent to Liaoning Prefecture as the governor?" Empress Eldest Sun asked helplessly.

"Hahaha, yes, but it doesn't matter, Chang Lin has always been my chamberlain, and this ability must still be there, but this also shows a problem." Li Shimin was very happy.

"What's the problem?" Empress Eldest Sun asked with some confusion.

"It shows that Li Ke has accepted his fate, whether he accepts his fate or not, he has already taken over this task." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Forget it, let's not talk about him, look at this land of the Tang Dynasty, how fascinating." ”

Li Shimin pointed to the surrounding fields and said, they are walking on the road to the Bohai Shipyard at the moment, this official road is obviously also repaired in Youzhou, the fields on both sides are neatly planned, and now although they have been harvested this season, they can still see some green.

Li Shimin didn't know if there was such a scene in these places in the past, but he felt that there should be, and now there are horses or mules plowing the fields everywhere.

From these livestock, it can be seen that pack horses, mules and other animal power are rapidly forming a main force on this plain, and the previous Datang must not have so much animal power.

Obviously, a considerable number of these were pack horses transported from Khitan, Murowei, and Hanhai Prefectures.

In the past, places like Hanhai Prefecture kept a large number of horses, but to be honest, these horses were not used, that was because the main enemy of Xue Yantuo in the past was the Tang Dynasty, so they needed to maintain enough horses as combat effectiveness.

But after Hanhai Prefecture was returned to the Tang Dynasty, the number of horses did not need to be maintained so much on the grassland.

After each herdsman is allocated a certain number of horses to ensure a certain fertility, the remaining horses are selected and sent to the interior of the country to become livestock for cultivation.

Anyway, with the life span of a horse of twenty or thirty years, it can actually be used for many years.

The entire plains of Shandong Prefecture and other places gradually began to migrate the people from some mountainous areas, and then distributed land and animal power, and these cultivated lands naturally began to be reclaimed gradually.

The boxy fields that can be seen in front of you now are because of this.

Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Yang also followed to look into the distance, indeed, in the flat fields, these fields have an inexplicable charm, and you can see brand new villages in the distance.

Many of the villages are obviously new, as their houses are horizontal and vertical, and they are clearly planned, whereas the old villages were often haphazard.

The county seat in the distance was already clearly visible, and a team of people was rapidly approaching in this direction.

The other party quickly rushed to Li Shimin, turned over directly and dismounted and saluted: "Xu Xing, the commander of Zibo County, has seen the Emperor Taishang, and has seen your Royal Highnesses. ”

His Royal Highness here naturally calls the eldest grandson queen and them, and it stands to reason that the eldest grandson queen must not be called the queen now, and Concubine Yang and their concubines will not be affected.

"No courtesy, I'm an ordinary old man in Datang now, don't be so polite." Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile.

Xu Xing was a little speechless, even if you are in the Zen position, you can't be an ordinary old man, you are Your Majesty's father. Naturally, he only listened to this.

"Emperor Taishang, your residence has been arranged, but because of the backward conditions in Zibo County, the residence is not very good." Xu Xing said.

"You're welcome, it's good to have enough space, see these carriages behind me? If you can put them down, you'll be done. Li Shimin pointed to the carriage behind him and said.

These carriages are all four-wheeled carriages that Li Shimin ordered Changlin to purchase in advance, and the wheels are naturally Datang's steel wheels and tires.

The carriages were framed with wood, and some of the carriages could be used as small rooms.

And after the carriage finds a station, there are various steel skeleton auxiliary supports under the carriage, which makes it extremely stable.

So this carriage is a moving house, after all, in this era sometimes rush, may not be able to find the inn at night, this carriage in the wilderness accommodation, the conditions are actually good, quite interesting.

And the whole convoy also carried a lot of things, such as rain-proof tents and so on, so even if it rained, as long as it wasn't raining, it wasn't a big problem.

After leaving Mount Tai, Li Shimin had a lot of fun along the way.

Although eating outdoors is average, Li Shimin and his entourage, who brought cooks, iron pots and other cooking utensils, are not particularly bad, not as good as in the palace, but with the scenery and mood in the wild, they can make up for it.

"The Emperor Taishang has been tired all the way, it is better to rest in the residence, this carriage is okay for temporary residence, and the long-term living space is still smaller."

"And you little princesses must be tired." Xu Xing said with a smile.

"It's okay, but in this case, the cost of our food and lodging, you can list a separate bill at that time, and I will let people pay for it." Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

Xu Xing hesitated, this money should have been paid by them, how could the emperor still have to pay when he came, you must know that the other party was His Majesty not long ago.

Li Shimin saw his thoughts at a glance, and said directly: "Don't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, now the treasury of the Tang Dynasty royal family and the imperial court has long been separated, and I am not the emperor now, although I am the emperor, but I am only a member of the royal family, and I no longer hold any court positions." ”

"So now our expenses should naturally be paid by the royal family themselves, if you use the money of the imperial court, it will be a violation. Today, you have come here to receive you, it is already considered a delay in business, and the cost should be as much as it should be, I have money. ”

Li Shimin glanced at him warningly, after coming out this time, Li Shimin spent all the money himself, anyway, his old Li is rich now, and he used to stay in the palace, and he felt that the money was not enough to spend when he built this and that.

But after he came out, he found out that the money was actually very durable, and with the assets he got from Li Ke now, it was impossible to spend it just by eating, drinking, and having fun, no matter how luxurious.

Even if he still had to keep hundreds of servants or something.

So Li Shimin naturally won't spend the court's money, how can Li Ke be able to catch the handle? Just kidding, he's not short of money.

And didn't Li Ke say it? The money he spent actually came back in some form in the end, and during this period, it benefited the people, so of course Li Shimin had to spend money.
