Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 257 Fifty Thousand Cows
Li Yuan was in a daze, and when this made the ministers puzzled, Li Yuan threw the document to Li Shimin: "This boy, I really don't want to let me worry."

"He doesn't know how to transport [-] cows in batches and lanes." Li Shimin was also sweating, knowing that transporting [-] cows at one time was too much noise.When I stop to rest every day, I can eat up the weeds on a mountain.

The states and counties along the road did not receive relevant notifications, but so many cattle were sent to Chang'an, and they had no choice but to send people to help, and then replenish the fodder. Nearly a thousand people were needed to deliver water alone.

"Father, the expenditures of the states and counties will be supplemented by my ministers, and they will be doubled."

"I don't want you to pay, this is the cattle I want. Pass the decree to Qin Shubao, Li Daozong, and Chai Shao, telling them that next year each state and county will also need to add some cattle for deployment. Then pass the decree to all the states and counties in Jiangbei, cattle and horses What needs to be reported. The Ministry of Households sets a rule, the expenses on the road, the expenditures of the state capitals, etc. "

"Yes, the minister leads the order." Xiao Yu took over the errand.Then he said: "Sage, it is always a good thing to have [-] cows. Although the matter is a bit reckless, it is only intended to show your merits to the sage."

"Is it meritorious?" Li Yuan asked back.

The ministers did not know how to answer.

Li Yuan said: "There is such a little credit, but there is no way to restore the title."

Li Yuan spoke very well.

Xiao Yu wants to persuade, in his opinion, meritorious service must be rewarded, which is stipulated by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.Liu Zhenghui stopped him and shook his head lightly.Xiao Yu was puzzled, but was still ready to persuade her again.Minister of the Ministry of Minbu (Minbu of the Tang Dynasty is the Ministry of Hukou of later generations, and later wrote the Ministry of Hukou) Tang Jian said with a smile: "Sage, you and a child are still angry."

Few people dare to say this.

Tang Jian made friends with Li Yuan in Jinyang, and then followed Li Yuan to join forces.

"I'm not angry, I also granted him permission to stay in confinement, and he can come to Chang'an for a few days. After all, autumn is here, and he rushed to buy some winter clothes. And I also sent people to give him many rewards and sent them to Jingyang. The three younger sisters, and sent palace ladies to teach painting, calligraphy, history, etiquette, etc."

Li Yuan spoke calmly, but Tang Jian and the others still laughed.

Even Li Shimin laughed.

Only one person did not smile, and that was Li Jiancheng.At this time, Li Jiancheng felt that Liu Mu was more and more hateful. Although Liu Mu was a citizen, his position in Li Yuan's heart was higher than his own.

When did Li Yuan take care of the children's studies in person?

Li Yuan didn't ask much about his younger brothers and sisters.Li Yuan has never cared about the sons and daughters of the crown prince in their studies.On the contrary, those little girls in the countryside looked more and more like the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and they were very close to their younger sisters, the Princesses of the Tang Dynasty.

"Xiao Gong, after Xiao Mu came to Chang'an, you asked him for a cow. It was the cow I ordered." Li Yuan emphasized.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said, "Father, you haven't paid a penny."

"This..." Li Yuan was defeated by Li Shimin, and instead of being angry, he smiled: "I haven't paid a penny, so what can I do?"

The atmosphere became active immediately, and the ministers also began to say some relaxing words.

Li Jiancheng's heart turned cold all of a sudden, he felt that he had no status more and more, his second younger brother was calm and composed no matter in front of his father or in front of courtiers.

Peng Hai came in, and after obtaining Li Yuan's permission, he came to Li Yuan and said, "Saint, today's announcements from the eastern and western cities have changed their content. Instead of writing about current affairs, they wrote about the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th. Who in Chang'an would not Who regrets, there is the latest product fair here, and there are [-] cattle waiting to be taken home."

Li Yuan was happy: "Very good, Erlang, you can watch this matter. Come here..." Li Yuan suddenly shouted violently.

Immediately two imperial guards entered.

Li Yuan pointed at those two people and said loudly: "August [-]th Mid-Autumn Festival horse race, if you don't win any more, I will let you not smell the slightest bit of meat for a month."

"Order."

To say that they are aggrieved, the four guards of the forbidden army are also very popular, they don't say they won, the best one is the fourth place in a single game.

Datang's most elite imperial army did not win a single championship, which made them very angry.

The horse races on the Ghost Festival are all horses sent by the nobles and noble ladies. The horses of the real first-class nobles did not participate in the competition, so the Imperial Army did not plan to participate in the competition. It would be meaningless to win against these minor nobles.

To win, you must win the horse of Duke Yi's mansion.

In the last horse race, Duke Yi won three of the nine races.

Li Yuan said cheerfully: "Xiaomu has a good saying, professional things should be handled by professional people. The matter of this grand ceremony can't be done in the palace, nor can Jingzhao Mansion. Only Xiaomu's grand ceremony can be done well. It was right for him to come out for a few days, but this August fifteenth, what is the allusion to this festival?"

The Mid-Autumn Festival really became an important festival in the Song Dynasty.

Not many people paid attention to it in the Tang Dynasty.

"Saint, the Mid-Autumn festival is very good. Autumn is the day of harvest, and there has been a custom of announcing autumn since ancient times. Wouldn't it be good to celebrate after the harvest?" Xiao Yu recognized this festival.

"En. Erlang is going to do it. You have to supervise him not to cause trouble, and get this thing done. I like to be lively, so it must be lively enough."

He handed over the errand to Li Shimin again, and Li Jiancheng felt in his heart that there was nothing greater than death.

Li Jiancheng, who is the prince, is sad, and an ordinary small official is also sad.

The county magistrate of Sanyuan sat in the county office with a pen in his hand and looked at a blank piece of paper in a daze. He was thinking about how to report the performance of this year's autumn harvest.In the entire Sanyuan County, all the fields add up, and the harvested grain is only [-] shi.

"Master Xian, what's the use of embarrassing you, the tax will not be short of a penny." The official in charge of agriculture stood aside and said.

"Here, the annual performance appraisal of each county is based on the three items of grain, mulberry, and ding. The number of fields in this county has nearly tripled compared to last year, but this autumn harvest is only more than 200 mu of land for grain, and all the reports are for farming. The grain left behind cannot be eaten, and it will not be handed over to the county warehouse. How does this county report it.”

The county magistrate sighed heavily.

At this time, the yamen servant ran in, smiling all over his face: "Master Mu Lang has arrived."

The yamen servants like Liumu because Liumu will send them money every month to help them manage the shops, markets and streets in Sanyuan County.The family members of the yamen servants also liked Liumu, and they signed an agreement with Liumuhe to rent out the land and then work, earning more than farming by themselves.

The county magistrate stood up and said to several officials: "Follow the county to welcome you."

Welcome, welcome.

Liu Mu has no title, but still has the status of consort.

At the gate of the county yamen, the county magistrate and Liu Mu greeted each other, they were not enemies, they were very polite when they met.
