Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 231 Father, there is a new deal, what do you think?
Li Chengqian was not worried about Li Jing's resignation. Anyway, the emperor was satisfied with the results of this battle.They came back this time and handed over a large amount of gold, silver and jade articles and nearly 20 war horses to the court. It can be said that they returned with a full load.

In particular, the three thousand Qinghai horses were given to the emperor as a great gift for victory.He was so happy that Li Shimin ignored the emperor's majesty and touched this horse like a nouveau riche, and then touched that horse, which made Li Chengqian dumbfounded.

In Li Chengqian's view, this is the reason for fetishism, just like the dragons in western mythology like gold coins, but once they have more, won't they be aesthetically tired?And Du Ruhui also took advantage of the emperor's joy to win double the compensation for the soldiers who died in this battle.

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian's chest hurts as if he had been hit by a hammer. This time, the Liu rate suffered the only loss before, and more than half of the soldiers were put into clay pots, waiting to be hidden in the military mausoleum.

What made Li Chengqian even more distressed was that the death of a large number of generals and schools greatly reduced the backbone strength of the Liu rate. This was not as simple as simply adding a few people.

After Du Ruhui and other important officials left, Li Chengqian followed the emperor back to the Chengqing Hall. It was not that he had to follow, but that he had a heartless request. I wonder if he, the emperor's father, would agree. Don is never without precedent.

Li Shimin noticed a long time ago that Li Chengqian had something to say, but just now there were outsiders who couldn't talk, otherwise, how could this bastard obediently follow him back to deal with the extremely boring government affairs.

"Chengqian, if you have anything to say to me, tell me quickly, don't wriggle around like a monkey, what do you look like." After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, he really wanted to see what was going on Can make him, the prince, so embarrassing.

"Father, you are really astute, how could my little minister's little thoughts be hidden from your discerning eyes."

Yo, it's really fresh today, the guy who never likes flattery knows how to flatter others, it seems that this is not an easy thing for him, otherwise his always stubborn son wouldn't look like this.

So Li Shimin laughed and scolded casually: "Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have something to say, and it is useless to deal with me. I will send you to the Palace of Lizheng to let your mother fix you up."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help scratching his head. He knew that Empress Changsun was still angry because of him leading the army to the west. There were tears for a while.If I send it to my door again at this time, don't say I am uncomfortable, if she is so tired that she hurts her god, it will be a sin.

"Farewell, father, the minister said that's all. You also know that the six-rate casualty was too great. More than 1 soldiers died on the battlefield. At the same time, it also caused the homes of more than 1 orphans and widowed mothers.

They are all soldiers of the ministers, and now the ministers are dead and have the responsibility to take care of their families, so I want to gather these orphans and widows into one county.In this way, it would be convenient to take care of them, and it would not be in vain for them to follow Erchen through water and fire.

It is because the minister wants to ask his father for an order to relocate the people of Hu County to the surrounding counties in the name of the court, and compensate them with double the land. All the expenses incurred will be borne by the East Palace, you see? "

The little money given by the imperial court, even if it was double what Du Ruhui fought for, would be enough to cover their family's expenses for one to two years.But what to do after a long time, moving them together can not only take care of the lives of these survivors, but also help to unite people's hearts, so why not do it.

As for money, Li Chengqian was not worried at all. After returning to the court, Du He and Changsun Huan handed over the account book for the past six months to the East Palace. After seeing the large numbers above, Li Chengqian was really scared.

But it must be said that these two boys are really not in vain. After they saw Li Chengqian using saltpeter to make ice in the East Palace last year, they paid attention to fresh fruits in the coastal areas.

After Li Chengqian went on an expedition, the two asked Zhang Xuansu to approve a note to ask the Hangzhou Navy to call six large supply ships to continuously sell all kinds of goods that are rare in the north to Guanzhong.Especially in Chang'an and Luoyang, they even opened special stores for business.

After Li Chengqian said something, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and drank the tea while thinking.He was even willing to give him the command of the army, so what's the point of giving him a county supervisor.

But isn't it a bit outrageous to empty out a county? Even when there is a war, the work may not be so clean.Besides, people's ancestors have lived there for generations, so why should people give up their ancestors' cemetery and move to another place just because of a little money.

"Chengqian, you know the heart of the soldiers. I am also a general. Of course, I know that the friendship built on the battlefield is stronger than brothers and sisters. But this will help you clear everyone in this county. This matter cannot be solved with money. of.

Why not let them live a good life in their respective hometowns? I can order local officials to take care of them to reward them for their contributions to the country. "

This is Li Chengqian. If it were Li Tai who made such an unreasonable request, Li Shimin would be so nice to break up with him here, and he would have gone up and kicked him a few times.

But he knew that many times Li Chengqian raised seemingly far-fetched things, but in the end it all ended with the victory of this bastard.

Another reason why he disagreed with Li Chengqian's approach was that he repeatedly raised the status of soldiers on various occasions, which made the family and masters who embraced the hierarchy of soldiers, peasants, industry, and soldiers quite critical.Now the Li royal family has not yet reached the time to turn against them, so there are many things to be scrupulous about.

Let’s just say that the Yellow River flooded this time. It stands to reason that one of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji should be sent there, but because of the Shandong gentry, Wei Zheng and Wei Ting, who had close contacts with them, were abruptly replaced.

Seeing that the emperor disagreed, Li Chengqian continued to say: "Father, you can think that this is a large-scale land sale controlled by the state, and the families of the soldiers who died in battle are also reasonable and legal to buy some houses and land from the Eastern Palace. , so that the problem you are worried about will not be involved."

Of course Li Chengqian knew what the emperor was worried about, so he had to secretly change the concept and turn this matter into a business, so that he would not be able to touch the sensitive nerves of those people. The crime of wasting people and money will come to an end.

After weighing the pros and cons a little, Li Shimin shrugged his shoulders involuntarily. This bastard, he even fooled people to fool the emperor, but he was smart enough to think of these things in such a short time.Besides, there is still no plan for the relocation of the narrow township to the wide township, so it would be good to let him try it out.

"Okay, you go to Xuanling and the auxiliary machine to discuss it. Remember that the scale is a problem, and everything cannot be fulfilled."
