Datang Longya

Chapter 416 Tell the truth
The common people are a very simple group. As long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, they will not die of starvation or tossed to death by hard labor, they will all farm the land according to their duties.

Since the founding of the country, the two emperors have attached great importance to light corvee and thin tax, and reduced it again and again. I have never heard of any people who can't live without it and rebelled.

It was the massive locust plague last year, which resulted in no crops in more than 20 states. However, under the premise of being able to eat enough, none of the people rebelled.Some thoughtful people wanted to take advantage of the locust plague to weaken the influence of the Li family. As a result, as soon as the nonsense was uttered, the simple people fought back.

"The imperial court starved you or something. The locust plague is so big, and the people can still eat their stomachs. What else do you want?"

In their view, the emperor was born to enjoy the blessings, and an emperor who did not forget to feed the stomachs of the people while enjoying the blessings himself was a very good emperor.

Of course, these are only in the case of light taxation.

If it is possible to realize that there is no tax for farmers, tsk tsk tsk, the people have even removed the last shackles from their bodies, who will rebel when they are full?

Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief: "Farmers have no tax, farmers have no tax, if it is true that farmers have no tax, it will be a great achievement!"

Li Shimin sighed and said: "At first glance at these three words, my reaction is not much better than yours. Farmers have no taxes, and it can be realized with a bank? I don't believe it! But the Duke of the State, he has never painted cakes to satisfy his hunger. At that time, since he dared to say that, he must have his reasons, don't you think?"

Changsun Wuji nodded. Judging from his understanding of Leng Feng, don't bet with this person. Leng Feng never bets easily, but once he decides to bet with you, it means that he has already taken a bet. can win.

Not [-]% to [-]%!
Wei Zheng was much better at this time, sat up, and sighed: "I lost my temper, there is no tax for farmers, what a beautiful word, but whether it can be realized depends on what Leng Feng says. Your Majesty, why don't you let him enter the palace? Tell us more about this?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "The Er Gouzi said that his boss wrote these letters all night and just fell asleep at dawn, so how could he bother you! Let's go to Tianxia Manor. You know the example of Sangu thatched cottage. How can I ask him to come here!"

Fang Xuanling nodded: "Such a brilliant plan, it's worthy of His Majesty to go in person."

Wei Zheng stood up staggeringly. As the one who strives for the common people to live and work in peace and contentment, he was hit a bit hard by the words "farmers have no tax" just now, and now he still feels that his feet are vain and he can't stand firmly.

But now he was going to Leng Feng's house, not to mention his sloppy footsteps, even if he was crawling, he would have to climb over!

Protected by hundreds of guards, the four carriages left the palace in a mighty manner and headed out of the city.

This time Li Shimin forgot to change his clothes and got into the carriage in court clothes. Although the carriage was just an ordinary carriage, the number of those guards, in the eyes of caring people, became an equal sign.

Equal to the emperor, equal to the queen, equal to the emperor!
Even if the prince leaves the palace, he will not need so many guards to accompany him on ordinary trips.

Interesting, you can try it.

Li Shimin didn't know that his hasty trip had planted a time bomb for his own safety. He really forgot that the current Chang'an is not the usual Chang'an.

There is a lot of red tape for the emperor's brother to travel. Although it is not an official trip at this time, what should be taken precautions should be taken precautions.

Therefore, they searched Tianxia Manor all over, and those who were unscrupulous even found out Li Erniu's armor and weapons, trying to take him down, but Li Erniu kicked him far away.

Have you ever seen a fucking man who is holding a baby and coaxing him to be an assassin?You can't see the obvious Dragon Tooth Army pattern on the armor, are you blind?
Lao Li didn't expect the emperor to pay a visit in person. After weighing it, he chose not to call the master's house, and opened the middle door to welcome the emperor himself.

Li Shimin was not surprised that Leng Feng didn't come out to greet him in person. He looked at Lao Li who was sweating profusely, and said, "Okay, I know your master hasn't slept for a long time, so you really think I'll punish him for offending you? Go, tell the kitchen to mess up the lunch." Make it richer, I will eat at your house at noon."

Lao Li quickly agreed, ordered the servants to notify the kitchen, went out to find the wife who was taking the child for a walk, and led the emperor and the three princes into the living room.

Now the living room of the Leng Mansion is a magnificent place, not to mention the sofa covered with luxurious fur, and the gorgeous chandelier made of glass, it is dazzling.

Pointing to the chandelier, Li Shimin said: "Look, this is a smart guy. We only know that glass can be inlaid on the window frame, which is both transparent and cold. I don't think it's strange to have a thousand strings."

Changsun Wuji nodded. Like Li Shimin, he couldn't move when he saw gorgeous things, and he always wanted to make one for himself.

Seeing Lao Li coming in with tea, Changsun Wuji pointed to the chandelier and said, "Lao Li, is this chandelier difficult to make? I also want to get one to decorate the study."

Lao Li shook his head: "It's not difficult. It was originally made by the owner from the glass workshop. It is best to choose smokeless whale brain oil for the top lamp oil, and the installation of the adjustment mechanism is more troublesome. Zhao Guogong If you want it, I will arrange someone to install it at your house tomorrow."

"Install one in my study!"

Lao Li nodded again and again: "Old servant knows, everyone will install one at home."

As soon as old Li finished speaking, Li Chengqian came in three times, rubbing his eyes, and greeted his father and uncle in a daze.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's obviously messy clothes and brushed his sleeves: "What's the matter, it's almost noon, why are you just getting up?"

Li Chengqian said aggrievedly: "Father, the three sons and ministers stayed with Master last night and only fell asleep at Chenshi. If I hadn't heard that you were here, I wouldn't even be able to get up."

Looking at the aggrieved Li Chengqian, Li Shimin's heart unconsciously missed a beat. Li Chengqian in the East Palace would not talk to him in a coquettish tone like this.

I have to admit that although Li Shimin strictly educates the children, he also likes the children to act like a baby to him, because it can remind him that he is not only a cold emperor, but also the father of the children.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help asking: "Chengqian, tell your father the truth, do you hate living in the East Palace?"

"!" Li Chengqian didn't expect his father to ask him like this, so he couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, the officials in the East Palace, apart from making me strict with myself, taught me how to deal with my brothers. Father, Qing Que He and Li Ke are both my brothers, I don't want to treat them as enemies!"
