Cotton is a widely used economic crop in later generations, and various cotton products emerge in endlessly.However, in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, cotton was only used as an ornamental flower, and a small part of it was planted in gardens.For example, the acre of cotton in the Royal Garden is for planting.

However, Li Feng is now a treasure trove, with the three little guys, it doesn't matter where it is, let alone whether it is wrong to persecute flowers, plants and trees, in short, they are fighting a big battle right now.Of course, the main force in the fight must be Li Feng, and the three little guys are more playing.

This is the Royal Garden, Li Feng's sudden move, of course no one will see it.However, no one came to take care of it.Because of this guy, Li Feng, in the hearts of everyone in the palace, he has a bad reputation and cannot be messed with.Besides, it is nothing more than a piece of white paper that is about to wither, and you can spoil it as you like.

"Oh, fourth uncle, it's hard for me to find it for a while. I said, what are you doing? Why did you pick all the white seeds? What are you doing with them? There's no scent at all."

Not long after, Li Feng and the others picked a large piece and piled it aside.But at this time, Li Chengqian rushed over in a hurry.Seeing his sweating profusely, it seemed that he came here in a hurry.Seeing that Li Feng and the others were harming these Bai Diezi made him curious for a while.

"You came at the right time, hurry up, come to help, um, no, hurry up and find someone to help, or just rely on the four of us, when will it be picked. I am so happy that I am dizzy, just thinking about picking it myself ..."

The arrival of Li Chengqian.It made Li Feng happy for a while, this is another free labor.However, the next moment, he slapped his head again, cursing himself for being happy and confused.I thought, why didn't I know just now, so I went to ask someone to help.You know, there is no shortage of manpower in this palace.

"Fourth Uncle. Don't worry, I have something to do with you. It's urgent. No, it's my father who wants to find you. It's a very important matter..."

"Bullshit. Big things can be more important than this. Don't give me nonsense, go and call someone to help. As the saying goes, food, clothing, housing and transportation are big things. Can they be bigger than these four things? Besides, The battle is over. What else can there be?"

An urgent matter, especially when he heard that it was Li Shimin's urgent matter, Li Feng didn't want to listen to it at all.No matter how urgent you are, you can be as anxious as cotton-padded quilts.Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to get involved with Li Shimin's affairs.Therefore, there was no waiting for Li Chengqian to finish speaking.Just interrupted his words.

"No, Uncle Fourth. It's really urgent. It's about the Monument Square. I can't tell you the specifics. Anyway, Father told you to go there quickly. Don't worry, I'll ask someone to pick this white pile. If it’s not enough, I’ll get it for you elsewhere, how about it?”

Seeing Li Feng's expression, Li Chengqian knew that Li Feng didn't want to go.However, just now Li Shimin specifically told him that he had to invite Li Feng over no matter what.

"Monument Square? Well then, I'll go there right away. But, you kid, remember to pick cotton for me... well, it's white dippers. In short, you can get me as much as you can. Arrive time, your benefits are indispensable."

When Li Feng heard that it was about the Monument Square, he immediately stopped what he was doing.He can ignore other things, but he can't ignore this matter.After explaining a few words to Li Chengqian, he left in a hurry.

"I said second child, what's the matter with you. I didn't see that I was busy."

As soon as he entered the Ganlu Hall, Li Feng started to complain as he walked.This matter was already well said last time, but unexpectedly, there was another accident, how could Li Feng not be depressed.

However, when he walked in and saw Li Shimin with a gloomy face, he didn't say anything more.Li Shimin's expression made Li Feng know that things were a little troublesome.

Li Feng found a chair and sat down, waiting for Li Shimin to speak.

"The matter of the Monument Square may have to be slowed down"

After a while, Li Shimin took a few deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and then slowly looked at Li Feng and spoke, his expression was full of anger and helplessness.

"Slow down? ... why?"

Li Shimin's words made Li Feng stunned for a moment, and then he asked incredulously.You know, building this monument square is of great benefit to Li Shimin.Among other things, it is a great thing to say that the morale of the army and the hearts of the people gathered as a result of this.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Now, the Tang Dynasty implements the government military system, and there are not a few families with sons in the army.Even if not now, but what about in the future?The establishment of the Monument Square is a matter of supreme glory to soldiers, and of course it is also an exciting thing.Especially for those families where someone has served, it is not just an honor for the individual, but for the whole family.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that good men should not serve in the army. No one wants to join the army unless it is absolutely necessary.Joining the army, many times, means that there is no way, it means that you are humiliating yourself.And once the status of a soldier is improved, affirmed, and recognized by the court and society.

At that time, it is not difficult to imagine that it can be said that the hearts of the army and the people will be fully absorbed, and even if they fight, the army will be even more brave and fearless.

In short, in a word, the establishment of this monument square is of great benefit to Li Shimin, and even to the entire Tang Dynasty.

"It's not because some people have selfish motives. Today, when this matter was brought up in the court, countless officials immediately opposed it with various reasons."

Thinking of the situation in the court today, Li Shimin felt both atmosphere and sadness in his heart. When he said it at this time, there was a deep helplessness and exhaustion in his tone.

"Who objects? Well... I don't think the military generals in the court would object. In that case, it's those civil servants, right. What's the reason?"

When Li Feng heard it, he thought about it carefully, and he knew that the officials who opposed this matter would definitely not be military generals.After all, for them, this matter is a great honor and a great thing.It is too late for them to support it, how could they possibly oppose it.If any general dares to object to this kind of thing, then he doesn't have to mix in the army.

As for this matter, it is obvious that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it can even be said that there are many advantages.Since there are people who object, there must be their reasons.

"Hey, it's all about fame and fortune. I never thought that this matter would lead to civil and military disputes in the court, making things so difficult. As for the reasons for objection, there are many reasons, but the most important thing is, Or because the imperial treasury has no money at the moment."

Of course there are many reasons, for example, it does not conform to the ancestral system, there is no precedent, it is too extravagant and wasteful... However, there is only one reason that really makes Li Shimin difficult, and that is the construction of this monument square, which is not cheap .Datang, who has just finished two battles, may not have spare money.

Although the matter of the Monument Square is very important, other matters are more urgent. For example, the compensation for the casualties and other issues must not be delayed at all, otherwise, there will definitely be big troubles.

Hearing this, Li Feng understood what was going on.It's no wonder that Li Shimin was so depressed. Just such a incident caused disputes between civil servants and generals.

The so-called ideals and ambitions are nothing more than fame and fortune, either for fame or for profit.In the world, there is no hatred for no reason, let alone love for no reason.Not to mention these officials, even Li Shimin.The so-called loving the people like children is nothing more than a means to realize the ambitions in our hearts.

Otherwise, who would do such a thing as killing one's own son for the sake of other people's sons.The wiser the king, the more selfish and ruthless he is.

The emperor is also a human being, not a god, even if he is a god and Buddha, with boundless love, he still needs to light incense.

Officials have been divided into civil and military since ancient times. Although they are all officials of the same dynasty and are of the aristocratic class, there is still competition between the two camps, and their interests in certain aspects are also different.

The ancients had the same names, especially those officials who were very respectable.It is said that it is to assist the king and realize the ambition in his heart, but in essence it is more for the name, for the glory of the ages.Civil servants are among the best and more typical representatives.

Because, the way of Confucius and Mencius taught them and told them the ultimate goal is just like this.

In this way, it is normal for this matter to attract strong opposition from those civil servants.If it is, it is just to give some generous rewards alone, and no one will object to it.However, once this monument is built, it means that the status and reputation of all soldiers will be improved, which is different.

Besides, what an honor it is.Be able to enjoy the incense of thousands of families for generations, and will be famous for generations to come.This is the highest glory, highest ideal and pursuit in the way of Confucius and Mencius.Now, let a group of big soldiers get such treatment so easily, let them who read the sage books, how embarrassing.

Besides, as the status of the military general group increases, relatively speaking, their civil official group's voice becomes smaller.How can they be happy when one goes up and down.

"I can't control these messy things in the court. However, the matter of the Monument Square must be done. This kind of thing is simply a lice on the monk's head. It's an obvious thing. Procrastination? How to procrastinate, until when? .If you don’t strike while the iron is hot, you will be even more helpless in the future.”

Li Feng doesn't want to care about other things, but he can't ignore the matter of the Monument Square.

"Isn't it just that there is no money? This is easy to handle. Let me handle this matter."

These days, Li Feng has actually been thinking about this matter again and again, not to mention, thinking about it, it really made him come up with some coups.Now, seeing that Li Shimin was in a dilemma, he spoke up.
