Chapter 351 A brother in the trenches?

Chapter 347

Li Chengqian was very angry at the moment, and shouted directly.

"Your Highness, don't say that!" Su Mei was in a hurry. He was very afraid of Li Chengqian. After all, he directly criticized Li Shimin, and Li Shimin knew about it.

"That's it, why does Qingque fight against Gu, what does he use to fight against Gu, what does the emperor support him all the time, what do you mean? Whetstone, does Gu need a whetstone? Where did Gu do it wrong? ?" Li Chengqian stared at Su Mei and asked.

"Your Highness did nothing wrong!" Su Mei hurriedly said to Li Chengqian.

"Those young courtiers are accessible to Qing Que. They are important ministers in the court in the future. What does the emperor ask Qing Que to see? I said before that the prince can't get too close to the ministers. In order to abide by this, don't Dare to meet those ministers, what? He can do it?" Li Chengqian continued to say angrily,

Sitting beside Li Chengqian, holding his hand, Su Shi didn't know how to persuade him. She also knew that Li Chengqian was wronged, but he didn't dare to say this wronged in front of Li Shimin, so he could only hide here and get angry.

"Gu just can't figure it out, why? Why does Qing Que fight with Gu? Gu is the prince and the eldest son. Gu is still there. What is he fighting for? What does the emperor mean by pampering him?" Li Chengqian continued to be angry. Shouting, Su Mei sat there, not knowing what to say, she could only watch him get angry, hoping that he could calm down after finishing sending.

Soon, Li Shimin knew about Li Chengqian's anger in the East Palace. Li Shimin sat in the study, burned the note, lay there in a daze,
Li Chengqian is very irrational and calm like this. Fortunately, it is a time of peace, not at that time. If it was at that time, Li Chengqian is probably dead now.

"Why? How can the world be so easy to sit on? Just like this, how can I rest assured that the world will be handed over to you?" Li Shimin lay there, sighed deeply,
Li Chengqian has grown up, Li Shimin hopes that he can be stable, and hope that he can see some things clearly. Not impossible.Li Shimin lay there all the time, and after a while, Wang De took a blanket and covered Li Shimin's body.

"Remember one thing, if Shen Yong doesn't go to the East Palace tomorrow, why don't you go to Shen Yong's mansion in person early in the morning the day after tomorrow, and let Shen Yong go there!" Li Shimin said with his eyes closed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang De nodded, then exited carefully,

The next morning, Wei Hao was still at home drinking tea and writing.Someone came from the gatehouse: "Young Master, Li Dejian, Li Deju, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi and other young masters are here, and the other one is the King of Shu!"

"The king of Shu? Oh, Li Ke?" Wei Hao nodded when he heard it, and it was the king of Shu who was immediately sealed.

"Please! Open the middle door!" Wei Hao said to the concierge. He also tidied up the things on the desk, took them to the study, and then went to the living room. Just as he was about to go outside, he saw a few of them coming. .

"Quick, here, you are not afraid of the cold, come out so early?" Wei Hao stood at the door and asked them.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Shen Yong, you don't know if you don't look at it. You're shocked when you see it. How did you design such a good house?" Cheng Chuliang shouted at Wei Hao with a smile.

"Just think about it. Come on, go to the sun room and do it!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile, and then said to Li Ke, "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu!"

"Well, I'm sorry for the interruption!" Li Ke put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"Don't disturb, come, please!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"I still have to go see the Supreme Emperor first. I just came back and want to see Azu!" Li Ke said to Wei Hao.

"Oh, so, I'll take you there, uncle, you are familiar with this place, you help me greet them!" Wei Hao immediately said to Li Dejian. "Go!" Li Dejian nodded, and soon, Wei Hao took Li Ke to the courtyard where the old man was.

"When did His Royal Highness King Shu come back, why didn't he say anything?" Wei Hao asked with a smile.

"I arrived the morning before yesterday. I went to the palace yesterday. I wanted to visit Azu today. You know, I'm in the fief, and I can only come back once a year. I still need the consent of my father. Thank you for taking care of Azu!" Li Ke cupped his hands at Wei Hao while talking.

"Your Highness is serious. Same thing. The old man is a beautiful ancestor, so naturally he is also my ancestor. The old man feels that living in my house is more comfortable, and he is willing to live here. Of course I am happy. Come, please come here! "Wei Hao said as he led the way ahead.

"Well, I heard what my father said, but, Shen Yong, I admire your ability. After meeting with Azu, I would like to have a long talk with you. I heard that you are now in charge The county magistrate of Nian County, the county magistrate of Wannian County is not easy to be,

Moreover, it is said that you have a big move, you can teach me, I am in Sichuan, it is really, difficult!The people are also poor. On the way here, I heard from the German Prize that the people in the places where they cultivate straight roads are poor. That is because he has never been to my Shu land. The people there are really poor! " Li Ke said to Wei Hao.

"Of course you are welcome. It's not about teaching, just talk to each other!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Okay!" Li Ke still spoke with a smile. Wei Hao had a very good impression of Li Ke and was very polite.
And he is also very handsome, the key is to give people a very friendly feeling, I heard that he is very righteous, but Wei Hao didn't have much contact with him, just chatted a few times!Soon, Wei Hao took him to the yard where the old man was, and the old man was watering his flowers and plants.

"Old man, are you busy? Look who's coming to see you!" Wei Hao shouted with a smile after entering.Li Yuan heard it, turned his head to look at it, Li Ke also went to the front at the moment, clasped his fists and saluted and shouted: "Ke'er has seen Azu!"

"Oh, Ke'er is back, hurry up, sit down, Shenyong, make tea, I still have a few pots of flowers that haven't been watered, it will be ready soon!" Li Yuan shouted with a smile when he saw it was Li Ke.

"Okay, come on, Your Highness the King of Shu, please sit down!" Wei Hao immediately beckoned Li Ke to sit down, while he boiled water and made tea there.

"Well, thank you!" Li Ke nodded, but his eyes were on Li Yuan's side, and he found that Li Yuan was taking care of the flowers and plants very carefully.

"The old man likes this and plays with it every day. Look here, there are flowers and plants everywhere!" Wei Hao explained to Li Ke with a smile.

"Well, the old man still has this hobby, I haven't heard of it before." Li Ke nodded with a smile.

"Wow, woof, woof~" At this time, a white puppy ran over and rushed towards Wei Hao, and Wei Hao also hugged it.

"Modou, why did you go?" Wei Hao asked with a smile.

"I just went to shit!" Li Yuan also put down his things at this moment, and walked over here.

"Go to the old man's side!" Wei Hao put down Maodou, Maodou immediately ran to Li Yuan's side, and Wei Hao began to pour tea for them.

"Azu, did you raise it? It's called Maodou?" Li Ke pointed to Maodou and asked Li Yuan.

"This bastard picked it up, and it's all right, so that's how it is called. When I come back this time, I have to leave after the Chinese New Year?" Li Yuan sat there, looked at Li Ke and asked.

"Yes, we will leave after the Chinese New Year!" Li Ke nodded.

"After leaving, the capital is not a good place, far away from right and wrong, you, don't think about those far-fetched things, you are in a fiefdom, what should you do? Remember Azu's words, the royal family has always been right and wrong Too much, if you don’t make it right, you’ll lose your life, it’s not worth it!” Li Yuan sat there and said to Li Ke,

Wei Hao was very shocked that Li Yuan would actually say this to Li Ke, but Li Yuan never said anything about other people.

"Ke'er, when you're free, follow this boy's example. If you make some mistakes, you're also a hero. The more you'll be jealous. Azu has only one hope for you, just be safe. Don't want to think about other things. It's not for you to think about it." Yes, although you are also excellent!" Li Yuan continued to say to Li Ke.

"Azu, what are you talking about, grandson just wants to be an idle prince, but he doesn't have that much ambition!" Li Ke immediately said to Li Yuan with a smile.

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it, but after returning to Beijing, don't just go to the boat! Make those things come out." Li Yuan continued to say to Li Ke, Li Ke heard it and smiled embarrassedly. "Have you visited your mother?" Li Yuan continued to ask.

"Looked at it yesterday, and my mother also specially asked her grandson to take care of her, saying that you are in the palace, so my mother can't visit you often." Li Ke nodded and said,
Wei Hao, on the other hand, looked at the grandpa and grandson very incomprehensibly. Li Yuan actually liked Li Ke the most, not Li Chengqian and Li Tai. What's the reason?
"Come, drink tea!" Wei Hao greeted them.

"Shen Yong, you give Ke'er 1000 pennies, record it, and let the queen give it to you when the time comes!" Li Yuan said to Wei Hao.

"Okay!" Wei Hao nodded without thinking.

"Azu, you can't force it, grandson is rich, really rich!" Li Ke immediately waved his hand and said.

"Here, it was given by Azu. Your father won't give it to you, and your mother doesn't have much money. If Azu gave it to you, you can take it. When you arrive in the capital, you like to play, so what can you do if you don't have money?" Li Yuan asked. Li Ke pretended to be angry and said.

"Oh, okay, that grandson is so cheeky! However, I heard that there are a group of beautiful ones coming from Huafang. Azu, will I take you to the opera!" Li Ke looked at Li Yuan and asked,

Wei Hao looked at Li Ke in shock, what's going on, the grandpa and grandson went to the boat together, this style of painting is wrong.

"No, Leng, Azu likes to hide here now. You came early today. If you come later, you will know how lively my place is. Azu has someone to play with every day, so those flowers and plants Ah, Azu has to take care of him in the morning, and if he is late, he will have no time." Li Yuan said to Li Ke with a smile.

"As long as Azu is happy, if you don't go to the boat, why don't you bring some opera singers with you?" Li Ke continued to say to Li Yuan,

Li Yuan heard it and was actually thinking.

But Wei Hao looked at them in shock, and then stammered a little: "This, this, this is not good, the emperor will beat me to death if he finds out!"

"What are you afraid of? He still dares to beat you?" Li Yuan heard this and gave Wei Hao a contemptuous look.

"No, that, His Royal Highness Shu, let's not play like this, you can take the old man out, I don't know anything!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Ke and said.

"No need, there's no point in listening to the opera, forget it!" Li Yuan said at the moment.

"Okay, then I'll go in the afternoon?" Li Ke said to Li Yuan, Li Yuan nodded, and Wei Hao looked at the two of them dumbfounded, completely confused, is this a grandson?This Nima is a brother in the trenches!
Then Li Yuan asked the king of Shu about the situation in the feudal domain, and the king of Shu also answered them one by one. Wei Hao just sat there and made tea for them.

After chatting for about half an hour, Li Ke said his farewell. Li Yuan sent Li Ke to the door of the greenhouse, and Wei Hao took King Shu to his own greenhouse.
Along the way, Wei Hao had too many questions in his stomach, and he really couldn't figure out how King Shu would tell the old man such a thing.

Soon, they arrived at their own conservatory. At this moment, some of them were leaning on their sofa, drinking tea and bragging.

"I said King Shu, what have you been doing for so long?" Cheng Chuliang looked at Li Ke and asked.

"Hasn't it been a while since I saw Azu? We chatted for a while, what are you talking about?" Li Ke sat down with a smile, and Wei Hao also sat down.

"Shen Yong, come here, I can't make it well, I've spoiled those tea leaves!" Li Dejian stood up and said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao could only sit on the tea making seat.

"Shen Yong, you're going to have dinner at Juxian Building at noon. Would you like to treat me?" Li Deju looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Okay, I'm sure I'll treat you. By the way, how is your road construction going?" Wei Hao looked at them with a smile and asked.

"Hey, it will probably be repaired next year. This year's time is too short, and only a quarter of it has been repaired. However, the materials are all ready!" Li Deju said with a wry smile as he sat there.

"I can't help it, but, Shen Yong, I went to practice this time, and I really saw the poverty of the people in the Tang Dynasty. Hey, when I came back yesterday, I thought I was dreaming. Think about it, we are really, eh, sinful! "Cheng Chuliang also said with a sigh.

"Well, Fang Yizhi and the others also talked about this matter yesterday, and they came back too, so, come here!" Wei Hao immediately greeted the servants around him, and someone came over immediately.

"Send someone to call Fang Yizhi, Xiao Rui, Gao Xingshi, and Changsun Chong, and tell them that I will invite them to dinner at Juxian Building at noon, the old room!" Wei Hao said to his servants.

"Yes, son!" The servant went out immediately.

"Shen Yong, we should do something!" Li De award looked at Wei Hao and said.

"What to do? What will you do? Improve the living standards of the common people, you have not achieved it, you have no such ability!" Wei Hao looked at them and said with a smile.

"You have this ability. My brother said that the people in Chang'an now live a lot better because of the workshops you built!" Li Deju said, looking at Wei Hao.

"Why, is it possible for me to open workshops all over the Tang Dynasty? The population of the Tang Dynasty is so large. During the Wude period, I heard that there were only 300 million households. How many people can there be!" Wei Hao looked at them with a wry smile and asked. stand up.

"That's nonsense, what's more? You don't know what the Ministry of Civil Affairs was like before. I dare say that the population of our Tang Dynasty will definitely not be less than 800 million households. Of course, the registered households may only be 300 million households!" Li Dejian spoke immediately.

"What you said is too exaggerated. I believe you said 400 million households, and 800 million households?" Wei Hao looked at Li Dejian with contempt.

"Yes, definitely, even surpassed!" Li Ke nodded and said, Wei Hao looked at him,
"If you don't believe me, just take the registration book of Wannian County and go right. As far as I know, there are 2000 households registered in the common people's settlement in Dongcheng. Go and check carefully. Living there will not be lower than 4000 households, or even more,
Many people have five or six sons in their families. After those sons got married, they did not separate their families, because there was no way to separate their families, they had no houses, and their household registrations were not separated. They just registered with the old head of household, so they were only counted as one household. , in fact,
According to the registration, the population of my Tang Dynasty is about 1800 million, but the actual population may exceed 5000 million. There are still many people who fled to live in the mountains because of the war. This is the case in my fiefdom.
Once I went hunting and went deep into the mountains. I found a village inside, completely isolated from the outside world. Now there are more than 200 households and about 1500 people living in it. They still ask who is the emperor now, thinking that Now is the period of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there are so many villages like this in the dense forest! "Li Ke sat there and said, Wei Hao just looked at Li Ke.

"In addition, in the past ten years, there has been no major war in the Central Plains, so the common people have many children. In farm families, there are generally six or seven children, three or four boys, those with a little money, and those with more than a dozen children. Yes, the population has increased a lot!" Li Ke said to Wei Hao,

Wei Hao sat there and began to think about it. He really didn't make a detailed count of how many people he had under his control, but only roughly estimated the number of households and then the population. It seems that it is necessary to count. How many people are there in Wannian County?

"Shen Yong, you are very capable. Let's not say that you made the whole Tang Dynasty rich. It would be great if you can make the people around Chang'an rich. I estimate that the population around Chang'an will not be less than 100 million!" Li said. Ke sat there and continued to speak to Wei Hao.

"I don't have such skills, hey, it's hard to be a county magistrate!" Wei Hao said to them with a wry smile.

"Shen Yong, don't be modest. I really can only count on you for this matter! Other civil servants are unreliable, even my father is unreliable. He can only fight wars, but not govern the people." Li Deju sat there , also said to persuade Wei Hao.
