Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 50

Yang Xiaoran withdrew his hand embarrassingly, touched his nose, and said, "Didn't Your Majesty want to give the jade pendant to the courtier's daughter?"

Li Shimin was so hung up that he couldn't catch his breath and passed out.

I've seen thick-skinned people before, but I've never seen such thick-skinned people!

Stretching out his hand to ask someone for something, to be able to keep his expression so innocent and look innocent, it was his fault that he fumbled around.

Angrily, he stuffed the jade pendant into Yang Xiaoran's hand, and cursed: "I really don't know how you were taught by your master, how come you only see these yellow and white things in your eyes."

Yang Xiaoran happily took the jade pendant, this is the jade pendant worn by Tang Taizong Li Shimin!No matter what, it can be a family heirloom!Holding the jade pendant in his hand and looking at the light, he saw the sunlight shining through the jade pendant, making it even more transparent. Knowing that it was a good thing, he stuffed it into his bosom immediately, with a look of treasure on his face.

Li Shimin was amused by her appearance as a money fanatic, and asked: "Don't tell me your mother doesn't give you pocket money? How can you be like that common man who is so happy when he sees gold, silver and jewelry?"

Yang Xiaoran put away the jade pendant, glanced at Li Shimin, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, is there anything more important than money in this world? Isn't the main reason why you signed the Weishui alliance with Turks last year is that your Majesty lacks money?" ?”

Li Er's complexion was a little ugly.You are the emperor but you are despised by a little devil, can you feel at ease?What's more, he is indeed poor, so poor that he is about to sell underwear, and now he is ruthlessly exposed by Xiaotong, he feels quite uncomfortable.

"Then you shouldn't only have yellow and white things in your eyes."

"oops!"

Yang Xiaoran shook his head, "Your Majesty's words are inappropriate! If Your Majesty has money, he can build elite soldiers and sharp weapons to make all the foreign races around him sincerely submit to my Great Tang; if His Majesty has money, he can do more practical things for the people."

"Like?"

Li Shimin was a little interested, and he really wanted to hear what the disciples of the masters had to say about this yellow and white thing.

He asked Eunuch He to bring a sheng hoof (which was the prototype of the earliest chair) and Pingji, and asked Yang Xiaoran to sit down, seeing that he was ready to have a long talk.

Yang Xiaoran was quite grateful, this Li Er finally did not abuse children.You must know that kneeling and sitting is not a human thing. Even if you practiced it from a young age, if you maintain this sitting position for a long time, the blood will not flow smoothly, which will lead to numbness in the legs and back pain.But this Sheng hoof is the only thing that can make people hang their legs down. Although the material is either porcelain or wood, it is much more comfortable than kneeling.

Not to mention that Li Er gave back a voucher, which was just right for resting his hands, so he could sit comfortably now.

At this time, Yang Xiaoran misses the big sofa of later generations very much, that is the enjoyment!I don't know when the furniture will be ready, anyway, she has had enough of the furniture from the Tang Dynasty, so she doesn't care what others say, why don't she feel more comfortable in her own home?
Seeing Yang Xiaoran's expression of enjoyment, Li Shimin smiled lightly. After all, he was still a little kid, and he couldn't hide his emotions and anger. A sheng hoof made her happy like this. It looked like he was getting his own dragon-shaped jade pendant. Still happy.

Wei Wei coughed, and said, "Where did you just say?"

"Oh, Your Majesty..."

Yang Xiaoran blushed, and her stomach growled a few times in disbelief. After working for a long time, her stomach was empty, and she was already hungry.

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, then slapped his legs and laughed loudly. Looking at Yang Xiaoran's eyes that were getting redder, he couldn't help teasing, "Why? Are you hungry again?"

"Your Majesty forgives..."

Yang Xiaoran burst into tears, the girl is really not a goodie, it's all caused by space.

"He Dajian, give this little guy some snacks."

After a pause, a trace of teasing flashed across his face, he looked at Yang Xiaoran and said, "We need to be more."

He Dajian covered his mouth and snickered, nodded in agreement, and then asked someone to arrange it.

"It will take some time before the snacks are served. Tell me first, if you have money, what practical things can you do for the people?"

Yang Xiaoran forgot to take a look at Li Shimin, and thought to himself, you are not an idiot, your profession is the emperor!Do you have to ask me this too?What's with this look of preparing for the exam?

After thinking for a while, he said, "My daughter walked around Chang'an City today, tsk tsk..."

"how?"

Seeing Yang Xiaoran's disgusted look, Li Shimin was unhappy.No matter how great an emperor is, he can't tolerate others underestimating his capital city!
"Although Chang'an is good, there are still some deficiencies in it. My Tang Dynasty was a kingdom in heaven, but my courtiers found that the passers-by behaved quite disorderly. For example, they relieved their hands everywhere, threw garbage... and the cow and horse dung, you can get it." They are everywhere. If your majesty is rich, you can build a few public latrines, recruit poor people to manage them, and distribute a salary; the cows and horses that enter the city can also be used to make some baskets for excrement. They are all good fertilizers!"

Li Er listened very carefully. Although what Yang Xiaoran said was unavoidable, as a king, he knew that these seemingly ordinary things were related to the face of a country.

"But there are hundreds of counties in my Tang Dynasty. If every city does this, it will cost a lot of money."

"Your Majesty, do you know what is taken from the people and used for the people?" Yang Xiaoran chuckled, "For the crops to grow vigorously, they naturally cannot do without fertilizers, and these are where the fertilizers come from..."

Li Shimin's face turned green. He is a smart person, so he naturally heard the implication of Yang Xiaoran's words, "You, you want me to go and sell those... ridiculous! I am the Son of Heaven, how can I do such a thing?"

Yang Xiaoran said nonchalantly: "The Son of Heaven wants to think about all the people. This is what is taken from the people and used for the people. Turning waste into treasure. Collecting some money is just to serve the people better."

"Serve?"

A trace of deep thought flashed across Li Shimin's face.Although this word is fresh, but he is also a well-learned person, how can he not understand it?Just let him do such things, but, it is difficult for others!Do you still want the court's face?That's really going to sell stuff!

"This won't work! This is ridiculous!"

Yang Xiaoran curled his lips, knowing that Li Erhui would react in this way.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Your Majesty, the master once told the courtiers one thing when he was alive. He said that if these excrement is used well, it will not only increase the fertilizer, but also have another use."

"What's the use?"

Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, what else could that dirty thing be used for fertilizing?
Yang Xiaoran chuckled, "Master said, build a big pond, throw these things into it, put some straw, rotten vegetable skins, seal it and ferment it, and then design a tank, the gas from inside can be used as fuel, and can be used as fuel. Used for lighting, but also for cooking.”

Li Er's eyes have completely turned into mosquito-repellent eyes, what is this all about?I can't understand it at all!For the first time, I felt anxious about my IQ.

Seeing Qiangu Yidi like this, Yang Xiaoran's sense of superiority arises spontaneously.Look, this is the time gap!What about emperors and generals?They are all soil turtles!

Seeing that the native emperor's face was getting worse and worse, Yang Xiaoran hurriedly said: "I don't want money for myself, I just want to get some money to use what Master said before to benefit the common people."

Li Er directly gave a look of "I believe you have a ghost", curled his lips and said, "You are kind."

Yang Xiaoran touched his nose, and said: "I'll get it when Grandpa comes back, and His Majesty will know when he sees it."

"Why wait for your grandfather to come back?"

"Because... grandpa is rich..."

"..."

Such a powerful reason has left me speechless!Thinking of this girl's temperament, His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt better.Hehe, I'd like to see if Yizhen's unscrupulous temperament can subdue this little devil.

A smile of unknown meaning flashed across his face, and he paused and said: "Let's not mention this matter for now. Tell me, apart from those things, what else can you do for the people with money?"

"You can do a lot. Your Majesty can build a principle to connect various post stations, increase manpower, send sergeants, charge a certain fee, deliver letters for the people, and escort things for the merchants."

Li Eryi couldn't help being moved when he heard this.The barbarian blood on his body destined that this king is not as conservative as ordinary kings. In his opinion, as long as it can increase the revenue of the treasury without harming the people, that is a good way.

Of course, forget about the job of picking up some dirty stuff.This is really outrageous, too detrimental to the court's face.

"Tell me carefully."

Li Shimin came down from his seat and asked someone to move a sheng hoof, as if listening carefully.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoran didn't hold back, and told the express delivery models of later generations one by one. While listening, Li Shimin asked the clerk in the hall to record everything Yang Xiaoran said.Seeing that Li Shimin was listening seriously, Yang Xiaoran gradually became serious.Analyzing the pros and cons one by one, the old and the young talked seriously, and no one else dared to interrupt, so they only handed Yang Xiaoran some snacks, and then backed out.

The recording clerk became more and more surprised the more he heard it, how could he still make so much money?There is no need to repair the roads leading to the various post stations, only need to add manpower to open the business.The post station can also be used as the office of the post station, and it only needs to send some officials.

What the hell is this county gentleman doing with his head?Mail, post station, very appropriate!In this way, a lot of national use will surely be increased.

"In this way, one year can indeed increase some expenses." Li Shimin seemed very satisfied, this poor guy who was almost in his underwear now had a smell of copper on his face, completely forgetting how he despised Yang Xiaoran just now.

Grinning, he said, "I didn't expect you to have some of Tao Zhugong's abilities."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise..."

Yang Xiaoran was modest in his mouth, but secretly proud in his heart.How is it, have you seen the girl's ability?Now let me mention something, you should agree, right?

"Your Majesty, how about we come to do business together?"

As soon as this remark came out, the pen of the clerk who recorded the words and deeds of the emperor "clicked" fell off, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Xiaoran in disbelief.

Is this person crazy?How dare you drag the emperor along with you without mentioning the lowly industry?No, no, that's not the point!The point is, she, she, she actually wants to take a share from His Majesty, how daring it is!
Madman, Chongyang County Lord is a madman!
