Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 301
Li Shimin will never forget this face before, holding his leg in mourning, just for the food expenses of the soldiers.

If there is anyone in Chang'an who doesn't care about face, then it must be Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong. If Li Shimin is to pay, Cheng Yaojin will naturally abandon the so-called face.

"Your Majesty, you can't favor one person over another."

"These soldiers followed you all the way to fight north and south."

"The world is peaceful now, and I can't even eat a bite of meat, even the cheapest cheap meat."

At the beginning, Cheng Yaojin's sincere words one after another, coupled with his lack of face, even Li Shimin couldn't stand it.

You must know that Li Shimin is a typical person who prefers softness to toughness. Under An Xuangong's suggestion, Cheng Yaojin naturally mastered it.

Knowing how to do this matter, that's why the scene of Li Shimin gnashing his teeth happened at this time.

Cheng Yaojin left the palace with a happy smile, but at the same time, this incident was also spreading. Although it did not spread to the whole Chang'an, it still attracted a lot of attention.

In particular, many ministers are considering whether to give it a try, but thinking of being as shameless as Cheng Yaojin, they seem to be unable to do it.

"Should I try it too?"

These people are ashamed to put it down, but Yuchi Gong is different, he can't help but reveal a trace of thought and muttered.

You must know that Cheng Yaojin's move caused a chain reaction. Except for the elite soldier and Li Shimin's left and right guards, the other soldiers were basically the same.

It's better now, Li Shimin's promise has broken such a balance, but what Cheng Yaojin said is really reasonable.

Of course, the most important reason is that Li Shimin has enough confidence. If there is no money, then it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Sure enough, before Li Shimin gritted his teeth at Cheng Yaojin, many generals who received the news had already come to the court together.

"Your Majesty, don't the soldiers under my command belong to Datang?"

"Why did Fatty Cheng increase the food expenses, but I didn't."

"As a general, if we can't fight for the interests of the soldiers, what qualifications do we have to return to the barracks?"

Although not as shameless as Cheng Yaojin, these people represent half of the Tang army, and even Li Shimin cannot ignore it.

And the rest of the troops will definitely be moved upon hearing the news. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little headache after thinking of this. He was a little ill-considered and a little rash before.

"Let me think about this matter carefully!"

You must know that if the rate of one guard is increased, then Li Shimin doesn't think it will be a problem, after all, it will only cost an extra [-] to [-] guan.

At the beginning, Cheng Yaojin's words really moved him. These soldiers were all veterans who fought with him all the way, and they couldn't even eat a bite of meat.

At most, he just drank broth, but this was Li Shimin's punch in the heart. You must know that Li Shimin also started from horseback, so he naturally felt the same.

After Li Shimin spoke out, the general representing the various guards retreated, but this incident did not mean that it was over like this.

We also need to see how His Majesty will deal with it. If they can't get a bowl of water, then they will fight for it even if they lose face.

After many generals left, Li Shimin's complexion was a little ugly. I didn't expect that this incident would affect the whole body.

If there is regret medicine that can be taken, then Li Shimin said that he could not agree to Cheng Yaojin's request at the beginning, but it was too late.

"Your Majesty, this matter has been investigated."

At some point, Li Junxian appeared next to Li Shimin with a strange expression on his face.

You must know that Cheng Yaojin's actions have given Li Shimin a lot of doubts. After all, the issue of soldiers' food has not been raised earlier, why is it this time.

Because time has passed not long ago, driven by profit, Cuju field has become popular all over the world.

Naturally, many people joined it, and the custom of raising Cuju teams by the rich and powerful in Chang'an was also imitated by wealthy businessmen and gentry in Chang'an.

We must know that many people with Cuju talents have come to the fore one after another, and it can be said that an additional industry has emerged indirectly.

For ordinary people, there is an extra way out. For example, there is a farm boy with a talent for Cuju in Chang'an, which has caused a lot of people to bombard him.

It even reached the price of ten pennies a month, which can be said to be a sky-high price for ordinary people.

In the eyes of those rich and powerful, ten pennies is nothing. On the contrary, if they can save some face for themselves, it is worth it.

Especially now that cuju competitions have become popular among the rich and powerful, and this was caused by Li Shimin and Li Yuan.

However, it also promoted the development of Cuju, and during this period of time, Li Shimin also received the benefits of Cuju, with a full ten thousand.

Although this is because of the fee for joining for the first time, it is still shocking enough. As for those who do not pay, they are afraid that they will lose their minds and dare to break ground on Li Shimin's head and become enemies with most of the powerful people in Chang'an.

Basically, those people naturally ended badly. With these lessons learned, the promotion of Cuju went smoothly.

However, before Li Shimin's money was warmed up, Cheng Yaojin came to the door, which naturally made Li Shimin quite alert, so he ordered Baiqi to investigate.

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin said with a gloomy expression, obviously worried about how to deal with these generals.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Guogong did have some abnormalities before entering the palace."

Li Junxian hesitated for a while and said aloud, in fact, he was in favor of increasing the food expenses of the soldiers.

However, he also knows that there are still too many places where Datang needs to use money, and it will definitely be impossible if it comes from the treasury.

Then it is most likely to come out of His Majesty's pocket, but he can only hide these words in his heart.

After speaking, Li Junxian also told about Cheng Yaojin's going to Anxuangong's mansion because of the locusts.

However, after hearing about Duke Anxuan's mansion, Li Shimin's complexion turned dark, and he finally knew who was causing him trouble.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin felt an unknown anger again, he said how did Cheng Yaojin know that he was rich, it turned out that this old guy revealed it.

After Li Junxian finished speaking, he cautiously stood on the other side, not daring to look directly at this majesty whose complexion was cloudy and uncertain.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally calmed down, and then the voice sounded.

"Go to Shu Mansion!"
