Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 17 The difference between monarch and minister, Li Shimin's helplessness

"Father, that son is gone!!"

"But before I leave, I still want to tell you, this game depends on the number of cards you have to decide whether to grab the landlord or not!!"

"According to what the second brother gave Sizi, if you have a good card, you can naturally grab the landlord. If you don't have a good card, you can go back to the second place. If you choose to cooperate with another farmer, the two of you will have a better chance of winning against the landlord than if you have a bad card."

"Just now, Sizi saw that the cards in his hand were not good, so he chose to cooperate with Uncle Du. Father, you should also learn more, and don't just think about grabbing the landlord."

Xiao Sizi clasped his hands behind his back, tapped his toes, stuck out his little tongue towards Li Shimin, and left the Tai Chi Palace quickly.

Don't want to grab the landlord...

Li Shimin smiled wryly, he was educated by his own daughter.

What a shame to throw it at grandma's house! !
But when he plays cards, his starting point is not simply playing.

Poker is like life.

There are infinite possibilities for every choice you make.

Li Shimin often calls him a landlord with bad cards because the Tang Dynasty he is now taking over is also devastated.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the treasury is empty of money, the aristocratic family is peeping, foreign countries are eyeing, and there are former Sui soldiers in the dark...

There are too many difficulties to face! !

Doesn't that equate to a bad deck of cards? !

Moreover, now he has nothing to rely on, he has to rely on himself, and he can only rely on himself! !
"Du Shangshu, do you think I have the means to save the country and let Li Tang occupy the absolute right to speak?!"

"This..." Du Chuke thought about it seriously, and then said, "Your Majesty, I can't see that far."

Li Shimin sighed.

Du Chuke is very capable, but he can handle everything on his own, but he is too cautious, and he felt it again when he played cards just now.

Let him do things according to the set plan, this guy will be fine, will finish very well.

But if you let him discuss national affairs, this guy...

Forget it, don't count on him.

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Then let me change the question, what do you think of this bamboo card?"

Du Chuke didn't answer the burden this time, but reported the truth.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this bamboo card requires wisdom to arrange every step of playing the card, which is beneficial to intellectual development, and the rhythm is extremely fast and does not take up too much time. I think it can be vigorously promoted."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Du Shangshu, you and I want to go together, if it is promoted, how many bamboo cards can the Ministry of Industry make in a day?!"

"Here, Your Majesty, let me check it out."

Du Chuke picked up the bamboo plaque to look at the composition of the materials. He was too nervous to get along with Li Shimin just now, so he didn't look at it seriously. Only now did he look at it and found that the bamboo plaque was made of rosewood.

Coupled with master-like carving techniques.

According to his experience, just this pair of bamboo plaques cost nearly two years' income of an ordinary family.

"Your Majesty, if it is a one-to-one restoration, I am afraid the Ministry of Industry will not be able to realize it, and even if it is realized, it will only be available on a small scale."

"And if it is the next best thing to use ordinary wood as the material, then the efficiency can be greatly improved."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, "How long does it take to make a pair of bamboo plaques from ordinary wood?!"

He also read it just now. The main part of the bamboo card is the number and the gameplay, which has nothing to do with the material itself and does not affect the gameplay experience.

"The Ministry of Industry has all the engraving craftsmen. If the Ministry of Industry is devoted to it, thousands of them can be made in a day. But...Your Majesty, you also know that the officials of the Ministry of Industry have more urgent matters that need to be dealt with."

"After the catastrophe, the construction of houses, the construction of the major palaces of the Chang'an Imperial Palace, gymnasiums, water lakes... the great Tang Dynasty is full of waste, and I think these are the most important."

Du Chuke cupped his hands and made a suggestion.

"That's it, then you first make a few copies, and then send them to the princes, and tell them that the game of poker is like life, every step and every line needs to be reconsidered, and it is my order."

Li Shimin handed over all the bamboo cards in his hand to Du Chuke.

"Chen Du Chuke, take the order!!"

Du Chuke finished arranging the bamboo cards and bowed deeply, but he didn't see him backing down for a long time.

"What, Du Shangshu, is there anything else to do?!"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Your Majesty, that...that, those beside you..."

Du Chuke was a little embarrassed.

Li Shimin followed his gaze and found a pile of blueprints kneaded into a ball by Xiao Sizi, "Oh, Lu Bansuo, you should take them too."

"This Luban lock has been passed on by you to be amazing. Just a chair, I don't think it's enough to show its importance. Du Shangshu, you should let me see the basis for it to be called a craftsman's treasure as soon as possible. How about it?!"

Du Chuke suddenly felt the pressure, and bowed deeply again, "My humble minister, I will live up to your Majesty's expectations!!"

Hurriedly putting all the blueprints into his arms, Du Chuke left in a hurry.

"This Du Chuke is really..."

Li Shimin didn't know what to say about him. The rules were so good that he was speechless.

This is too much of a difference between monarchs and ministers.

Think about it carefully, just playing cards is also the same.

It was said that it was a three-person fight against the landlord, but in fact, he and Xiao Sizi were playing cards from the beginning to the end, and Du Chuke had no sense of presence throughout the whole process.

Du Chuke is under too much pressure from his status as the Son of Heaven! !
Even playing cards can't be treated normally.

I am afraid……

This situation is not unique to Du Chuke.

The same is true for the auxiliary machine, Xuanling, Ruhui and other important ministers? !

If you want to really play Dou Dizhu, you have to recruit Guanyin's maidservant and Xiao Sizi. No one else can do it. Even Prince Li Chengqian will not play cards seriously because he is afraid of him? !
Thinking about it this way, his emperor is really quite pathetic.

Although he has the power to rule thousands of lives and kills, but for a three-person Doudizhu who plays cards seriously, the whole Tang Dynasty can only find Guanyin's maidservant and Xiao Sizi.

And as time goes by, Xiao Sizi grows older and may be timid in the future.

The eldest daughter Changle used to be an example.

When I was a child, I was like Xiao Sizi, and I liked to play with him.

When I grow up and become sensible, I become timid and pay attention to various parental etiquette.

"How lonely the emperor has been since ancient times."

"After a few years in office, I am no longer the young King of Qin, and I no longer have a bunch of wine and meat brothers. I should gradually get used to... get used to the No.1 status of the Tang Dynasty."

A sigh.

Li Shimin clasped his hands together and walked back to his seat for dealing with political affairs with a hunched back.

its back,
Vicissitudes, loneliness, and helplessness.

........................

Lizheng Hall.

"Mother's queen, mother's queen, my son is coming to eat with you!!"

Empress Changsun was in the depths of the palace, and she could not help smiling when she heard the little son making noise from a long distance away.

"Empress, Xiaolu is going to invite Her Royal Highness the little princess..."

"No, I will go by myself."

Empress Changsun waved her hands, and immediately put down her hands to pick up Xiao Si.

Come outside the hall.

At the first glance, I saw that Xiao Si was dirty all over, and it was another day full of playfulness.

Empress Changsun's face turned black, and she was busy again.
