Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

"The minister also agrees..."

……

Paused...

Li Shimin continued: "We can start to do these things, and we also have officials who are worthy of this great responsibility, but we lack one most important thing. Do you know what it is?"

Hearing this, all the princes looked at each other in blank dismay, with doubts on their faces, and shook their heads one after another.

Immediately, Li Shimin turned his head to Li Chengqian.

Seeing Li Shimin's expectant face, Li Chengqian said softly: "Food and grain seeds."

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, a child can be taught.

Li Chengqian went on to say: "But this matter, my father will definitely not be able to solve it."

"Heh..." Li Shimin sneered, "It's not that the emperor can't solve it, but that no one in the world can solve it."

Chapter 68 Tea House Anecdote

Li Shimin didn't care about Li Chengqian's words.

Not to mention that he can't solve this matter, even if Shennong is reborn, it may not be able to solve it.

The overthrow of dynastic rule was half the reason why economic contradictions rose to class contradictions, and the root of economic contradictions was land contradictions.

How can the self-cultivating land system be so easy to implement?

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and continued: "Food is a necessary condition for the implementation of land reform. Without food, everything you said is empty talk. You want the landlord to produce grain and seeds so that the farmers can have enough food and drink. Finally, Return the land to the farmers? Do you think it is possible?"

Li Chengqian's face was calm and confident, and he said calmly: "My son can really solve it."

Hearing this, everyone frowned, with doubts on their faces.

"En?" Li Shimin was full of doubts: "What can you solve? Solve these powerful landlords?"

Immediately after...

Li Shimin said to him earnestly: "Chengqian, you have to remember that not everything is resolved by force. In many cases, it is still necessary to pay attention to methods, and the principle is to minimize the consumption of national power."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin quietly, "I mean, I can solve the problem of food and seeds."

"The issue of food and seeds, who can't..."

"What did you say? You can solve the problem of food and seeds!"

Li Shimin was dumbfounded when he saw Li Chengqian's calm expression.

All the princes were also dumbfounded, unable to believe what Li Chengqian said.

I think what he said is really nonsense.

lean less...

"Ignorance!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian: "No matter what method you want to use to get the grain and seeds out of the landlord's hands, I can tell you responsibly that it is impossible. Doing so will only intensify the conflict and will not solve it at all. question."

"If it's as simple as you think, it's your turn to be in front of me and boss me around."

Li Shimin taught Li Chengqian a lesson without hesitation, showing his majesty as a father and arrogance as an emperor.

He thought that Li Chengqian could think of a good solution, but he didn't expect that it would be nothing in the end.

Around, several princes also shook their heads. This time it was the prince who was abrupt. They thought he could find some way to get over the landlord, but from this point of view, the prince disappointed them.

Li Chengqian ignored their gazes, and said to Li Shimin indifferently: "I can make a bet with my father."

Li Shimin asked doubtfully, "Bet? What kind of bet?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, raised his eyebrows slightly, as if everything was under control, "If the minister can bypass the landlord and directly solve the farmers' food and seed problems, then the land reform must be done according to the minister's wishes."

"Okay!" Li Shimin replied: "If you can bypass the landlords and directly solve the farmers' food and seed problems, then the land reform will be done according to your wishes. I will definitely not block it and fully support it."

Li Shimin knew that it was meaningless to tell Li Chengqian any more at this time, since he insisted on digging into a dead end, he gave him this opportunity.

When he loses, I, as an old man, must teach him a lesson.

Let him understand what is the way to govern the country.

Hearing this, all the princes shook their heads.

In this bet, the prince has no chance of winning anyway.

He saw the powerful strength of the landlord too simply.

It's about food, it's not as simple as killing a few people.

Take a break.

Everyone rushed forward.

across the field.

A small village with smoke curling up gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Changsun Wuji walked up to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, there is a teahouse ahead, why don't we go and drink tea, eat some cakes, and rest for a while."

Li Shimin looked at the simple teahouse in front of him.

In front of the door, a flag with the word tea written on it is waving in the wind.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Hehe, okay, I haven't been to the small village for a long time."

As he said that, he took a big stride and couldn't wait to walk towards the teahouse.

Li Chengqian followed behind him, looking at the teahouse in front of him, frowning, it was time for the second lesson.

"Guest officials, please, we have the best Ziyang tea here." Outside the teahouse, the proprietress warmly greeted.

Several people got into the teahouse, found two tables, and sat down.

The teahouse is not big, it only has one floor, and the decoration is extremely simple. There are only a dozen or so old tea tables neatly placed in the hall.

Besides them, there were two other tables of guests in the teahouse.

One table is an authentic farmer, and the other table is a passing businessman, chatting about something while drinking tea.

Cheng Yaojin yelled: "Miss Boss, bring some pots of good Ziyang tea, and serve some cakes."

The proprietress smiled and said: "Okay, a few guests, please wait a moment, the tea will be ready soon."

Talking about getting busy.

Soon...

A little girl in her teens came over with two plates of pastries.

She imitated the adult's tone, staring at a pair of big watery eyes and said: "Guest officers, please use it slowly."

Her voice was like that of a lark, which made her playful and cute in her skilled tone.

Li Shimin looked at her with a kind face, "Little girl, what's your name, how old is this year?"

The little girl pretended to be calm and suppressed her nervousness, "I...my name is Huniu, and I am ten years old today."

Everyone looked at the lovely Huniu with love in their eyes.

Li Shimin picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to her, and said softly, "Come on, Zhen... Well, let me give you a piece of pastry, okay?"

Hu Niu looked at the cakes in front of her, and quickly waved her hands, "My father said, you can't take other people's things casually, you won't get rewarded for nothing."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Haha, I... how can I be someone else! Didn't you just help us bring the cakes? This is meritorious service! When your father comes later, I will tell him not to blame you."

Hearing this, Huniu suddenly became disappointed, "Daddy... Daddy can't come."

Seeing Hu Niu's disappointed expression, everyone guessed.

Li Shimin still couldn't help asking: "Your father?"

"Daddy...Daddy died outside Liangzhou City in order to protect the people of Tang Dynasty." While speaking, tears gradually moistened Huniu's eyes.

Hearing Huniu's words, Li Shimin was a little dumb, "Is it another family that was hurt by the war? Is it another child who lost his father?"

at this time……

The proprietress shouted to Hu Niu: "Hu Niu! How many times has my mother told you not to disturb the guests? Why don't you listen!"

heard...

Hu Niu hastily rubbed her eyes with her sleeves a few times, fearing that her mother would find out, she took a deep breath and said, "Oh... Got it, mother."

With that said, she turned and walked towards the counter.

Li Shimin opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

Looking at Hu Niu's back, everyone's heart tightened. This little figure is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed!

Chapter 69

Hu Niuniang came over with two pots of tea, and put one pot on each table, "Guests, don't take offense, children are young and ignorant."

Li Shimin looked at Hu Niu Niang, and said softly: "I just heard Hu Niu say that her father... died outside Liangzhou City?"

"Is her father a soldier guarding Liangzhou City?"

Hearing this, Hu Niuniang showed a vigilant look and looked at them with a gloomy expression.

It is extremely difficult for them to run this teahouse as an orphan and widow. Her husband who died in the battle has always been a weakness in her heart.

Seeing Hu Niuniang's excited look, Liu Sheng hurriedly answered, "Don't get me wrong, we are not bad people, what is your husband's name, please, my name is Liu Sheng, the prefect of Liangzhou City."

"Perhaps, your husband and I are old acquaintances, is it convenient for you to tell me the name?"

Listening to Liu Sheng's words, Hu Niuniang's body visibly trembled, she turned her head to look at Liu Sheng, and said excitedly, "You...are you really the prefect Liu? Are you the prefect Liu of Liangzhou City? I The husband's name is Zhang Chong! He is indeed a soldier guarding Liangzhou City."

"He's been gone for almost five years."

Between the words, some choked up.

"Zhang Chong!" Liu Sheng got up and said in shock.

This person, he is too familiar with, is his life and death brother who followed him to defend Liangzhou.

Li Shimin pressed his hand to Liu Sheng and said, "Prefect Liu, don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly."

Cheng Yaojin also consciously vacated a stool with Niuniang Hu.

Paused...

Liu Sheng said: "Zhang Chong is my soldier, originally he could have escaped a catastrophe."

"That day, when His Royal Highness led the white-robed army to attack Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, Zhang Chong, who was recuperating in the city, followed the large army without hesitation."

"I stopped him at the time. I said that you are injured and not suitable for the battlefield. With His Royal Highness standing outside, you will definitely defeat Turkic."

"I let him heal his wounds with peace of mind, and let the brothers who can continue to fight go. I promise him that we will definitely bring him back the victory."

"But Zhang Chong... Zhang Chong told me that the crown prince is killing the enemy outside the city. How can I be greedy for life and fear death? A man should fight to the death on the battlefield and stain the sky with blood!"

"In the end, I still couldn't stop him. He picked up his spear, got on his horse, and rushed into the battlefield regardless of his injuries."

While speaking, Liu Sheng choked up.

Cheng Yaojin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Sheng. He drank it all in one gulp and said, "I watched him rush into the Turkic army, kill six Turks, and get stabbed six times. The last blow broke out, and after killing another Turk, he died on the battlefield."

Liu Sheng hammered on the table.

"I failed to stop him! I was sorry for him! I failed to protect my brother!"

At this moment, Liu Sheng was extremely sad, he recalled those brothers who died outside Liangzhou city.

Those people followed him for a year, two years, five years, ten years.

They are all strong men, and even if they die, none of them will back down.

But one after another they fell in front of Liu Sheng, fell beside Liu Sheng, but he was helpless, watching them die one after another.

Hu Niuniang got up and said: "No, Prefect Liu, it is an honor for Zhang Chong to die in battle to protect the people of Tang Dynasty."

"The hateful Turk has repeatedly violated the border of our Tang Dynasty. I don't know how many people have been massacred, how many families have been destroyed, and how many people have been displaced."

"If he had to choose again, I believe he would still choose to go to the battlefield with his sword in hand and fight Turkic with his life."

Listening to Hu Niuniang's words, several princes felt their hearts surge.
