Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 348
Facing Li Shimin's question, Li Tai turned serious and said:

"Aye, first of all, it is necessary to build roads in order to reduce the price of daily necessities for the common people.

Take table salt as an example. Since I developed the sun-dried salt method and sold the table salt to the table salt around the canal through the canal, basically the price of table salt from south to north will not vary much.

Even if it is a little more, it is only a penny and a bucket, which is completely affordable for the common people.

But where the water flow of the canal cannot reach, it can only be transported by manpower.

Under such circumstances, I can’t even lower the price of table salt, so how can I realize the dream of everyone in the world having clothes and every family having food…”

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's excited words at the moment, but he couldn't help but think of the fact that he kept in mind his wish to help the world and the people, so he changed his name to Li Shimin.
It has been eight years since Qing Que left Yuewang Mansion to establish an agricultural school, but she has always believed in her ideals, and has persisted for her own ideals until now, which makes Li Shimin feel really good!
The more he looked at it, the more he missed himself back then, Li Shimin patted Li Tai on the shoulder, and continued to say to Li Tai: "Continue!"

Li Tai saw that Li Shimin suddenly patted his hand on his shoulder, and couldn't help but paused, thinking that there was nothing wrong with what he said earlier!
However, Li Tai kept talking, and continued, "So, we need to build roads! One prefecture, 29 prefectures, 120 six counties, need to communicate thoroughly, so that eight carriages driving side by side can also pass through the avenue.

Of course, since roads are going to be built, it is natural to solve the problems that may cause floods such as blocked rivers and silts in these areas, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the roads are flooded in the future. "

Li Shimin thought for a while, but then said, "This project is huge, and we need to pay attention to the construction of the Henan Road, so should the other Hebei Road be built, Jiangnan Road should be built, and Jiannan Road should be built.

The most important thing for the imperial court is to treat everyone equally. The mountains and rivers of Huaxia are all the territory of my Tang Dynasty, so this matter needs to be leveled! "

"Why not?" Li Tai said, "If possible, I would like to build roads all over the country!"

"Get rolling!" Li Shimin waved his hand when he heard Li Tai's words, "Do you know how much it costs?"

"I think I can afford it if I take my time!" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and blinked!
"You..." Facing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin felt choked for a moment.

That's right, the guy in front of him has just handed in the taxes and fees to the treasury with the numbers he wrote out casually. He said that he can pay the money slowly. Li Shimin believes that Li Tai is not talking nonsense.

It's just that Li Shimin felt that when he realized this, the world was really terrible!

However, Li Shimin also came back to his senses, and said to Li Tai seriously,
"Although I don't understand the reason behind your ability to create something out of nothing, I believe that this ability must be limited.

Otherwise, why didn't you pay more than 350 million yuan in taxes in Chang'an? Otherwise, why didn't you build your platform in Chang'an? Can you really spend so much money? ! "

"I can't take it out at once!" Li Tai thought for a while, and said, "Aye should have seen the trick of throwing the ball.

That is, the magician keeps throwing the ball in his hand into the air, but he only holds two balls in his hand from beginning to end.

And my current ability is like this. Although I can throw three balls, four balls, and five balls in the air, I can only hold two balls in my hand. "

"If you throw too many balls at once, the balance you maintain will collapse, right!"

Li Shimin couldn't help thinking deeply when he heard Li Tai's words, and said, "Then you pay money many times to be able to draw a few balls every once in a while, then add new balls, and you can still maintain the balance!"

"Probably so!" Li Tai nodded after hearing Li Shimin's words.

"If I remember correctly, from paying the military supplies to paying taxes now, your ability to convert money has increased tenfold!" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said, "Just one Luoyang can make your ability become so strong?"

"Because Luoyang is the economic hub of the entire Tang Dynasty, it is second only to Chang'an, so it can have such an effect!" Li Tai shook his head and said, "If I change to other places, I may not be able to pay more than 300 million yuan. Come!"

"Okay! I believe you have the financial resources to build roads in all counties!" Li Shimin couldn't help pressing his temple.

I always feel that saying this sentence really makes me feel disillusioned.

Li Shimin continued, "But if you are asked to pay for everything, then it's inappropriate!"

"So, I came here to ask you, Aye, to beg the court for funding!" Li Tai said to Li Shimin without hesitation.

"Get out!" Li Shimin said angrily, "Where did the imperial court get such a waste of money? With this money, I will go and level Goguryeo first!"

"Then..." Li Tai looked at Li Shimin weakly and said, "Then it's not appropriate for me to pay this money!"

"You figure out your own way!" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said, "Isn't your platform very profitable, and you can allocate funds to build roads for you in the future, but that's all, don't expect the court to give you money.

The total amount of your own money can't be higher than five floors. As for the gap, you have to figure out a solution by yourself, otherwise the imperial court can't entrust this matter to you.
Otherwise, if this entire road is built, it is your road or the imperial court's road, you can weigh it yourself! "

After all, Li Shimin is still sensible. If Li Tai is really asked to pay for the whole plan to come out, then after Li Chengqian ascends the throne, Li Tai may really be in trouble.

The current Li Tai is enough to cause headaches, and the handwritten words can pay taxes. I am afraid that Wang Xizhi's copybooks are not as expensive as his bad handwriting!
Let Li Taizhen pay for the construction of this road again, Li Shimin feels that if he does not abolish the crown prince, he will not be able to guarantee other places when Li Chengqian ascends the throne, but Henan Road is afraid that he will follow Li Tai's rebellion.

A headache!
For a long time, only the emperor had a headache that his son's military power was too strong. How could he get to himself because his son's financial power was too strong.

Thinking about how the old man dealt with the peerless self at the beginning, oh, it is really useless to be referenced by him in the Xuanwu sect.

For Li Shimin, does Li Tai pose a threat to him? Not at all!
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he could clearly feel that because of Li Tai's existence, it was much easier for him to allocate resources.

There is such a caring money bag, which emperor would not like it, but at the same time, Li Tai is not the prince, and his existence is too much of a threat to the prince.

But I can do this, but this is the child I gave birth to together with Guanyin's maidservant.

This is a political descendant who has almost completely inherited his own political thought that the people are more important than the king and has always been firmly implemented.
More importantly, looking at Qingque, I felt like I was carrying my own trumpet.

Who would hate their trumpet, this is the most troublesome thing!

Apart from Li Tai's plans from time to time, which require a lot of money to invest, Li Shimin didn't find any problems with Li Tai. In contrast, let's look at Li Chengqian... Li Chengqian is going to be lost!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help pressing his head. How should he deal with the relationship between Qingque and Li Chengqian? I'm afraid he has to think carefully, at least not like his father, causing Li Tai and Li Chengqian to directly confront each other.

And just when Li Shimin fell into deep thought, Li Tai was also thinking about where to get sponsorship.

The servant came over and said to Li Shimin, "Please play the sage, the empress asked, is the king of Wei eating in the Lizheng Hall when he enters the palace today?"

"Go back to Qingque and Zhendu to eat in the Lizheng Hall!" Li Shimin said to the servant, "Let Guanglu Temple get ready!"

"Obey!" The servant finally agreed after hearing Li Shimin's words.

"Let's go, go back and think about this question carefully, and then answer me after you think about it.

Go and meet your mother first. You have been away from Beijing for a long time, and the one who misses you the most is your mother! "Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Qing Que is going to Lizheng Hall now!" Li Tai replied to Li Shimin.

Soon, Li Tai saw the Empress Changsun. At the same time, the prince, concubine, Chengyang, Yuzhang, and the pheasant slave and Sizi who had grown to his waist were sitting beside him. sleep.

Empress Changsun has been suffering from the cold since she was rescued last time. Although she can still maintain her body, she has not been pregnant for a long time.

However, this kind of thing may be a good thing for Empress Changsun. After all, with Empress Changsun's body, I am afraid that something will happen if she regenerates again. It is also true that Empress Changsun will adopt the children of dead concubines, such as Yuzhang.

Besides them, there was also Yan Wan. After all, she was going to pay a visit to Aye, and she was going to pay a visit to Queen Sun first.

"Qingque, you're back! Let mother see if you've lost weight!" Empress Zhangsun warmly greeted Qingque, touched Li Tai's face, her hands were cold, and for a while, Empress Changsun said doubtfully, "Why do you feel a little fatter!"

"Haha!" Pheasant Nu, Sizi and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard what Empress Changsun said.

Li Tai, on the other hand, broke free from Empress Changsun's grasp, and said, "I'm going to Luoyang, or I'm going to be banned, not to Luoyang to suffer, where you can eat cattle and sheep on the Grand Canal, and you can eat sweet soy in Yuhang next. How could it be possible to lose weight!"

"Second brother, don't you know that eating cattle is a violation of the laws of my Tang Dynasty?!" The prince couldn't help but said.

"As for cattle that died accidentally, my laws of the Tang Dynasty allow them to be eaten!" Li Tai said without hesitation.

"Besides, we are still cultivating yaks for food in the West Sea. When they are cultivated, I will eat a cow leg every day, and you will die of hunger!"

"You!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but get angry when he heard Li Tai's words, when Empress Changsun rubbed Li Tai's face and said,
"I got into an argument with your elder brother just after returning to the Lizheng Palace. This table is full of delicious food, can't you keep your mouth shut!"

"Yes yes yes!" Li Tai nodded again and again, but didn't say anything more, but sat beside Yan Wan.

The prince and the princess are facing each other. Li Tai doesn't know how their relationship is, but the princess is very beautiful. The most important thing is that the waves are rough and uneven, which is very in line with his own aesthetics, so Li Tai can't help but take a few more glances Seductive.

Sitting down with each other, the banquet officially started. Dishes came up one after another, such as Wulong Geng, Tianxiang White Wing, and Stuffed Sour Fish. Li Tai introduced these court dishes to Yan Wan, while gorging on them, but he didn’t see anything. Court rules.

Regarding the education of Li Tai's court etiquette, the court teachers who have basically educated themselves are the same as a certain calligraphy teacher of Li Tai, and they really don't want to admit that Li Tai was taught by them.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at the relationship between Li Tai and Yan Wan, and nodded in satisfaction.

After all, a harmonious relationship between husband and wife is what Li Shimin and Empress Changsun most hope to see. After all, the two of them are harmonious as husband and wife.

In contrast, although the prince and princess are on the same table, they are like strangers who barely make it to the table, and there is no half interaction between them.

On this point, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun didn't like it very much.

But even if he knew the reason, but Su himself could accept this way of getting along, it was impossible for the two of them to intervene in Li Chengqian's life.

After eating a meal, it was safe and sound, and nothing happened during the period.

As for the gifts and so on, Yan Wan was also asked to give the gifts to the palaces first when she entered the palace, and nothing happened, so after eating this meal, Li Tai and Yan Wan left the palace, but Li Chengqian snorted coldly looking at Li Tai and Yan Wan's appearance.

"I've been married for so long, I don't even have an heir, and you still want to fight with me, you deserve it!" Li Chengqian was very disdainful!

It has to be said that on this point, Li Chengqian has a considerable advantage.

After all, Li Chengqian created Li Xiang at the age of 11. Such a powerful sowing ability may not be a good thing for ordinary people, but it is naturally a big advantage for an emperor's family.

It's just that after meeting Xinxin recently, Li Chengqian discovered that the relationship between men and women is only for reproduction, and that he and Xinxin are true love, but he has sealed his ability to sow seeds.

After all, Li Tai was influenced by his previous life, so he really couldn't do anything to the little girl.

After Li Tai went back, Yan Wan rushed over and said to Li Tai with a blushing face, "My mother asked me when I would be able to have a child..."

Although Li Tai prefers girls in the future, he is really not interested in this little girl who is just over 16 years old.

But my own wife asked me that, what are you waiting for, go ahead, young man who rides the wind and waves!

The next day Li Tai supported the wall and walked out of the bedroom. Although his body was exhausted, he couldn't stop his daily morning exercises. After all, the servants were still waiting for their meals!

In the normal contest with Lu Anshou, with a flick of Lu Anshou's stick, Li Tai flew out directly, which made Lu Anshou a little confused. Has his martial arts progressed so fast?

As for Yan Wan, it was already afternoon when the servants saw her.
