Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 53 Big Problem

Li Chengqian held the long sword and asked Li Er:

"What are you going to do with me?"

If Li Er said to kill him at this moment, then he would probably do it himself and let himself die here.

Li Er shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I will demote you to a commoner."

Li Chengqian dropped the long sword, shook his head and said:
"It doesn't matter anymore. With an opponent like Li Ke, our family will become common people sooner or later. That's probably the best result."

His words made Li Er frowned tightly.

But he also understands that facing an enemy like Li Ke, it seems that it is really difficult to have any chance of winning.

This farce in the Tang country is over, and it has become another black spot that cannot be erased by the Li family royal family.

Li Chengqian was demoted to a commoner by Li Er.

Wei Wang Li Tai was also affected by this matter.

After all, he was indeed the one who injured Li Chengqian with a bomb.

If he hadn't fallen for Li Ke's plot from the very beginning, perhaps the following series of events would not have happened.

So Li Shimin also punished Li Tai.

Compared to Li Chengqian, Li Tai is already much better.

Therefore, the punishment Li Er gave him was not taken to heart.

After all, the present he didn't pay much to make Prince Li Chengqian a commoner.

Today, the position of Lord Chu is vacant.

And he is deeply liked by Li Er, so he is very confident that he will be able to take Li Er's position one day in the future.

Little did they know, Li Er was worried about his throne now.

After all, he has already seen Li Ke's strength, whether it is Li Ke's own strength, his conspiracy, or the rapid development of the Dragon Kingdom, as well as the terrible bomb.

Each of these gave Li Er a headache.

After this incident, Li Shimin often became sad.

Every day, I was thinking of ways to deal with Li Ke.

But I can't think of any way at all.

After all, Tang has too many enemies now.

Let's talk about Li Ke.

After watching a big show, he had no interest in Tang country, so he returned to Long country alone.

He successfully signed in Chang'an in Datang and obtained various vegetable and fruit seeds.

There are tens of thousands of seeds of each kind.

He immediately gave all these seeds to the Ministry of Industry, and asked the Ministry of Industry to cultivate them immediately.

After completing this matter, Li Ke is full of hope for the future of Longguo.

The people depend on food, as long as all kinds of vegetable and fruit seeds can be oriented to the people, so that the people can plant them, then both the development of the Dragon Kingdom and the lives of the people will be greatly improved.

In the Dragon Kingdom Palace, Li Ke and Wu Meiniang took a leisurely walk in the palace after eating.

During this period of time, under the management of Wu Meiniang, Longguo was thriving and developed rapidly in all aspects.

Although it is mainly because of Li Ke, Wu Meiniang's contribution cannot be ignored.

So Li Ke treats Wu Meiniang better and better.

At this moment, Wu Meiniang said to Li Ke:

"When is Your Majesty going to attack Datang?"

Li Ke has thought about this question many times, and since Wu Meiniang asked him, he didn't shy away from it, saying:

"Now that there are enough bombs, I still want to wait. Wait until those special forces have trained all the Dragon Kingdom's army and their overall physical fitness has improved before launching an attack on Datang."

Wu Meiniang nodded, thinking that Li Ke's caution was not unreasonable.

After all, Datang's military strength cannot be ignored.

If you are not cautious, you will be irresponsible to the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom.

Besides, Li Ke's character is not to fight uncertain battles.

So Wu Meiniang knew that he had to prepare very well, and would only send troops to Datang when everything was safe.

After all, to send troops to Datang is not only to go to the Tang Dynasty to fight, but also to defend the Dragon Kingdom, preventing other surroundings, such as the Wa Kingdom, from finding opportunities to attack the Dragon Kingdom.

After talking about these things, Wu Meiniang thought about it and said to Li Ke:
"By the way, there is a state capital named Shun'an Mansion in the north of Long Kingdom. There seems to be some problems with the yamen here."

Li Ke heard the words and said: "Is there a problem? What is the problem?
Wu Meiniang said:

"The tax records some time ago showed that something is obviously wrong with this government office. The tax revenue of one government office is actually only 200 million taels of silver, while other government offices are basically more than 500 million taels of silver."

Li Ke asked: "Have you investigated?"

"I asked the people from the household department to conduct an investigation, and it turned out that the tax report of Shun'an Prefecture was actually accurate.

However, the population of this place is almost the same as that of other state capitals, but the tax revenue has been reduced by more than half, which is a bit abnormal. "

Li Ke continued: "Since there are no problems in the investigation, but there are obvious problems, it means that there are still bigger problems that have not been discovered."

Wu Meiniang said: "I also think so, so Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to watch it, and then go and check it out."

"Since the Ministry of Household Affairs has been asked to investigate, but there is still no clue, then if you continue to send people, I am afraid it will not have any useful effect." Li Ke said.

"Then what is His Majesty planning?"

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke and said:
Li Ke thought for a while: "I'll go in person, anyway, I have nothing to do during this period of time, the Dragon Kingdom is developing very fast, but some problems will definitely be highlighted in this kind of development.

So I decided to go in person, on the one hand, to get a good understanding of the people's sentiments and the situation of the yamen in various places.On the one hand, I am afraid I have to investigate this matter myself to find out the problem. "

Wu Meiniang hesitated and said:

"Do you want my concubine to accompany Your Majesty?"

Li Ke immediately shook his head and said, "No, you must be in charge of the palace."

"But His Majesty alone!"

"It's okay, don't you still worry about me failing?"

Wu Meiniang hesitated for a moment and continued:

"Then it's better to let Jin Yan follow, she also knows martial arts and can serve His Majesty."

Li Ke hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said: That's fine. "

Just leave as soon as you say, Li Ke has always taken the issue of Longguo to heart.

Especially when it comes to things like taxes.

Taxation is the money of the people and the foundation of the Dragon Kingdom. This kind of problem is very serious.
