Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 626;
Chapter 590;

Empress Changsun made Li Shimin dumbfounded by her repeated fights and beatings. Back then, she only cared about running for her life and made it impossible for the mother and child to be reunited. What I said...

Li Shimin didn't want to entangle too much on this topic, so he picked up the tea bowl and pretended to be thirsty to drink water, and asked another question;
"Then Poppi didn't say how much land he wants to rent from the imperial court?"

"I've said that, I have asked clearly. I am also very concerned about such a big matter. I said that I want to rent 100 million mu for use."

"puff……"

Even though Li Shimin experienced countless storms and waves, he was shocked by the figure of 100 million mu and spewed out a mouthful of tea all the way.

"Your Majesty? What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you wipe it off for Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently;
"Okay, okay, let's all back down."

"promise."

"Guanyin maidservant, do you know how big a million mu of fertile land can be?"

"I don't know about this, please give me your Majesty's name."

"Catch up with a queen who has grown up in Lantian County! Does he want the entire Lantian County?

Nonsense!What nonsense!This is impossible!What is he trying to do?Does he want to paint the land as king?

He is just looking for trouble, when the time comes, his opponents will definitely come to me to join him with one voice, such a superior excuse, why don't they torment him to death?

If he is used by someone with a heart, and he is accused of rebellion, it will be yellow mud falling into his crotch. I can't explain it clearly. When the time comes, I will not be able to fool you when the crowd surrounds me. How can you be indiscriminate, Avalokitesvara? , just go and agree to his unreasonable request of a shameless brat? "

Li Shimin's chest heaved and fluctuated, he stood up and walked back and forth in the main hall, still muttering;

"This is just nonsense! Nonsense!"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's expression and calmly tried to persuade him;

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, you don't want the entire Lantian County, that Poppi said clearly, no matter where the land can be rented for cultivation, it can be divided into several places, just don't be too scattered Well, it’s not easy to manage.”

Li Shimin, who turned around again, was obviously taken aback, and blamed himself in his heart, why panic?How big is it?The queen is right, it doesn't mean that all 100 million mu of fertile land must be allocated to Lantian County, but other places are also possible!
It seems that I am still too sensitive, and I can't help but think about the bad things when something is wrong. Although the poppy always has some strange ideas, but his heart is righteous, otherwise why would he give up many secret methods?Even a few golden nests were handed over directly to the court?If he wanted to, he would definitely not tell anyone, and he would secretly send someone to dig it.

Li Shimin, who turned around twice more, figured it out, and his face softened a little;
"This is a big matter. I can't make decisions on my own. I have to listen to the opinions of the ministers. I can't guarantee that it will be done. Guanyin servant girl, you have to have a bottom line in your heart. If it doesn't work, don't blame me. I am He is right, but I am also the ruler of Li Tang Jiangshan, I am the king of a country, and in many places, I can't do whatever I want, let alone say what I want, I alone have the final say."

Empress Changsun and Li Shimin have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and they are extremely intelligent. She can immediately guess the meaning of a word from the emperor's expression, and she can tell from the anxious look of the emperor. That's so naughty, it's not worth worrying about coming and going.

The clever Empress Changsun stood up gently;

"That is, your majesty is wise and mighty, and if you want to be famous forever, of course you can't do whatever you want. Don't worry, your majesty. I am not a person who accepts death. In fact, that rogue is not short of land, let alone money.
He just wanted to win his breath, Your Majesty, don't you know his temper?The more others make fun of him for not being able to raise livestock, the more serious he is,
If he had to do this well, if he had to sell beef and mutton to the people of the world, he would be reconciled. He just wanted to prove to others that Li Dalang has this ability, but how much money he makes is actually of little significance to him.

If this matter really can’t be done, let him think of other ways. I think that although 100 million mu of land is a lot, but looking for those generals and civil servants from the Qin Palace, the land of each family will be changed. Don't make it too scattered, it should work. "

Li Shimin rolled his eyes quickly twice, and asked in doubt;
"I'm afraid this is also one of the back roads he left behind?"

Empress Changsun looked innocent;

"That's right, these are what Mrs. Wei said to my concubine, who doesn't have so many tricks."

Li Shimin looked at the scenery outside the door thoughtfully;
"I know his temper better than anyone else. If he can't stop what he is determined to do, he will come up with many ways, and they are ways that no one else can imagine. In the end, he will achieve his goal. I know best. You can understand this just by looking at what he has done. Well, I am a little sleepy. Go to the study to rest. You can also rest for a while, Guanyin servant girl. I can’t help but want to feel sleepy after hitting the spring. Take a rest in the afternoon Two hours is still necessary."

"The concubine sends you off to His Majesty."

"Free gift, no need to give it away."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he lifted his feet and left without hesitating. Seeing His Majesty leaving his bedroom, Empress Changsun sighed, and whispered to Ye Qingzhi beside her, her voice was full of regret;

"Hey, I don't have to do anything to rent an acre of land for a stone and a half, but it's really cheap for those civil and military ministers. I originally thought that I would take over this business for His Majesty and get more food for the court. .”

Ye Qingzhi didn't know what the queen really wanted to express, so she just followed the words;
"Isn't it, Your Highness, 100 million acres of land, you have to rent it twice a year, God, 300 million stone grains, slaves are not good enough, but they must fill many granaries."

Empress Changsun nodded, and then sighed helplessly;
"That's right, a stone of millet weighs 120 catties. Three million stones is not a small number. Even the sons of sixteen guards can eat it for a long time. Forget it, it's a big deal, and it may not be possible. Your Majesty will be very embarrassed and dare not make decisions easily, and we can't control much, let him make troubles."

"Isn't it, Your Majesty, just now this servant is really embarrassing to see His Majesty, and this number is too much. I was so frightened when I heard the 100 million mu, my heart was pounding."

"Who says it's not? I have to bite the bullet to say it. Forget it. Your Majesty is right. People will get sleepy in spring. I'd better go and rest."

"Come here, wait for His Highness to rest."

"It's the steward."

In fact, Li Shimin hadn't gone far, just turned a few steps in the corridor, and heard the Queen talking in the bedroom, Li Shimin quickly slowed down, the voices of the master and servant inside were not loud, and they deliberately lowered it a lot, Li Shimin also It takes a lot of effort to hear it.

Li Shimin didn't leave until there was no one talking anymore, and the palace servants who followed him also moved their steps cautiously.

After walking a certain distance, Li Shimin instructed the palace servants next to him;
"Dehai."

"My servant is here, Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"Go and invite the two servants of Fang Du, forget it, and directly invite civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above from the faction of Prince Qin's Mansion to enter the palace."

"promise."

Seeing Qian Dehai running out quickly, Li Shimin slowed down, muttering in his mouth while thinking about something;

"Three million shi? It's really not a small number. If we can get 300 million shi out of thin air this year... plus a few golden nests and copper nests in the mountains, hmph! Then gather all the money for the liquor , Tighten your belt, my sons of the sixteen guards are not vegetarian...!"

"Report to the sage, the study is about to pass."

Li Shimin, who was walking with his head bowed, came to his senses and turned back to the study with a hum. Li Shimin opened the playbook on the table and read it carefully.

After reviewing thirteen memorials in a row, Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore, his mind was full of the 300 million stones and grains. Fortunately, the two servants of Fang Du, Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and General Qin Qiong came in together. .

"I am waiting to meet your Majesty."

"My dear friends, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin pointed to the rows of seats that had been arranged earlier;

"Everyone who loves you, please sit down and talk. Come and serve tea."

"promise."

Du Ruhui asked directly at the first sentence after sitting down;

"Your Majesty, you summoned the ministers to come, but what important things do you want to entrust?"

"That's right, there is indeed something that I want to discuss with all my dear friends. First, all my dear friends, sit down and have a cup of tea. Let's talk about it after everyone else arrives."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Since His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to say anything, just wait. Li Shimin chatted with several people without saying a word;

"Wuji, how much money and food in your household department can you take out?"

Changsun Wuji immediately put down the tea bowl when he heard the emperor asking himself;

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are over 130 coins, silk and silk, 8 shi for millet, which is close to [-] shi, and over [-] shi for wheat, and more than [-] shi for grains."

After hearing these two sentences, Li Shimin's originally good mood was ruined;

"Didn't the caravans coming back from the Silk Road make a lot of money last year? Why are these left?"

Changsun Wuji was also very depressed;
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you allocated another 700 million guan to the Ministry of War that night, and asked the Ministry of Industry to make the best bows and arrows. You also need to get [-] Xuanjia cavalry again, and build another cavalry team of [-] people. It is also second only to the combat power of the Xuanjia Cavalry..."

Facing the helpless look in Changsun Wuji's eyes, Du Ruhui next to him kept pretending to be deaf and dumb, and only concentrated on drinking tea. Li Shimin patted his forehead and rubbed his temples;

"Hey, no wonder all dynasties have said that soldiers are very fierce, and they should not be used at critical moments."

Changsun Wuji, as a civil servant, has always resisted the use of troops since the world was stabilized. Changsun Wuji advocated that all energy should be put on the national economy and the people's livelihood, and should not be put on preparing for another war. Now the Han people live in peace with the grassland barbarians , isn't it great?Why bother to live more right and wrong?
Today I finally found a chance to vent my anger. It seems that even His Majesty regretted it. Changsun Wuji seized the opportunity to complain;
"Yes, Your Majesty, among other things, the consumption of the sixteen guards alone is a bottomless pit every year, and suddenly there are 2 more people eating and drinking... this!

Your Majesty, this is consumed by people and horses together. It's not that I feel sorry for the money, but that the [-] people and horses need to be allocated from head to heel, not to mention the food and drink later.

It is only said that the formation of this is a huge number. Last year, the Silk Road’s income could have been used to subsidize the construction of rivers in the south, but in the end it was all gone. The Central Plains and Shandong, as well as the roads in Guanzhong, have been agreed to this year. Build it yourself, Your Majesty, you also said that this year you want to repair the border roads to Guanzhong, but the big money you spent at the end of the year is gone. "

Li Shimin really regretted it now, ever since Li Dalang became the Living God of Wealth, Li Shimin spent a lot of money, especially when he brought back thousands of war horses from the grassland, Li Shimin's heart swelled to the extreme. With the terrifying combat power of three thousand Xuanjia, Li Shimin is very eager to expand the Xuanjia cavalry to 20. As an emperor on horseback, Li Shimin is fascinated by military forces and other things. Like the prairie people, all of them ride horses, and all of them are sturdy!
But when he heard that none of the tens of millions of dollars he worked so hard on last year was spent, Li Shimin was also extremely shocked, and stood up very differently;

"What? There is no big money left? Wuji, didn't you just say that you still have more than 100 million Guan? How come the effort of two sentences is gone?"

Changsun Wuji stood up with a bitter face, and went to the emperor's table;
"Your Majesty, you don't know. There are still more than 100 million in the treasury, but these are the newly collected tax money at the end of the year, and the share of Wuliangye. The amount of money harvested on the Silk Road has long since disappeared. There's only one left."

Li Shimin waved his hand depressed;

"Forget it, let's not mention this today."

Changsun Wuji, who was about to complain, could only nod helplessly;

"It's Your Majesty."

"Wuji, it's fine to spend this money, at least I know where it was spent. Why is there only a small amount of grain left in stock?"

Changsun Wuji, who was about to come back to sit down, turned around again and continued pouring bitter water;
"Report to Your Majesty, the newly-built cavalry unit also needs to eat. At the end of the year, the grain was taken away. None of the generals of the Sixteenth Guards was behind. I was afraid that it would not be my turn. They were all vying for the essential rations. To be able to keep this little inventory, I still have to keep a dark face and refuse to distribute it in the face of offending people, so I can keep this little bit, otherwise..."

Li Shimin rubbed his temples vigorously;

"There are no outsiders at the moment, Wuji, you can speak directly if you have something to say."

"It's Your Majesty, otherwise, our household department wouldn't even have a grain of rice left.

Even if the household department's grain was turned upside down, the generals of each family would still say that they were stingy, and the family would only give a month's grain.

Chen is not a human being inside and out, and the generals of each family see Chen with dark faces and staring eyes, wishing to spit on Chen's face.

Alas... It's hard to explain in one word, Your Majesty, the barracks of the Sixteenth Guards, among other things, just eating and drinking Sarah is a huge number, plus the forbidden army in the north and south, it is really a bottomless pit.

Last year, Your Majesty, you... added another [-] cavalry, and all of them must be equipped with exquisite equipment. To say something miserable, God!The [-] cavalry is equivalent to the consumption of [-] soldiers and horses!

This Minister of the Ministry of Households is really useless. If it weren't for the share of liquor, and the copper nests that were discovered last year have been digging non-stop. It's about to break. "
