I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Several people looked at Li Shen. Li Tai had a smile on his face, while Li Zhi had a look of disdain on his face.

"Father, if it is a reward from you, why wouldn't I dare to accept it?

Don’t ordinary people also divide their property among their sons?

Not to mention the common people, even the princes and nobles in Chang'an City were the same.

Although my eldest brother inherited the family business, he should at least leave some land for us younger ones so that we can support our family.

The common people are all like this, not to mention that Aye is so rich, the treasury...”

"You want to divide my treasury?" Before Li Shen could finish his words, Li Shimin glared at him and raised his voice a little.

He just said that this rebellious son has always been eyeing his treasury.

"Well... the treasury belongs to my eldest brother, but we sons should be given some land and property.

Fourth Brother and Ninth Brother, do you agree? "

Li Shen felt that he was outnumbered and prepared to bring in two allies.

Unexpectedly, Li Tai and Li Zhi ignored him completely.

"Haha, are you thinking that this Cuiwei Palace is pretty good and I'll give it to you as a real estate reward?"

Li Shimin was so angry that he laughed. This son was really good at getting good things, and he didn't care whether it violated any taboos or not.

"It would be fine if Father could give me a reward." Li Shen nodded as a matter of course.

"You are so brave that you dare to ask for the emperor's palace." Li Shimin sneered.

Li Shen was not afraid at all this time, and said with his neck stiff:

"Father, this is just a royal forbidden garden. Hibiscus Garden is also a royal forbidden garden. Father also gave it to Fourth Brother.

Furong Garden is much larger than Cuiwei Palace, covering an area of ​​thirty hectares and a circumference of seventeen miles.

There was also Huixunfang in Luoyang. My fourth brother merged the two fangs, built a dam, and intercepted the water from Luoyang. The people called it Weiwangchi.

It occupies an area of ​​one block from east to west and has three hundred acres of water area.

When the ninth brother left the palace, Aye directly rewarded him with Baoningfang as the Prince of Jin's palace, a block of land.

Aren’t these all gifts from Aye?”

Li Shen didn't need to investigate these things specifically. People had already heard about them. These things happened several years ago.

Li Shen has always had a special liking for Furong Garden. He has wanted Furong Garden for a long time. If he had obtained it earlier, Li Shen would not have built the current Ji Wang Mansion.

Furong Garden covers an area of ​​3,000 acres, with a Qujiang River running through the middle. After Li Shen’s transformation, it is definitely a holy place on earth.

But Li Shen didn't have this opportunity. Li Shimin awarded Furong Garden to the fat guy Li Tai.

This guy also built a dam in the backyard of his home in Luoyang, merging the two blocks into a pond, a pond of 300 acres.

Li Shen was so angry about all these things. His Prince Ji's Mansion occupied an area of ​​only five or six hundred acres.

Other people's ponds are as large as 300 acres. Li Shen felt seriously unbalanced, thinking that he had nothing after leaving the palace, and that all the things he had earned were earned through his own hard work.

Sometimes he thought, if this happened in the future, he would definitely post a video:

Due to the favoritism of my original family, my unscrupulous father gave all the family property to my brothers. I struggled all the way and made a comeback. After I became successful, my unscrupulous father extended his greedy hands to me.

Li Shen had already thought of the title in his mind at this moment.

Li Shen's words made everyone in the room silent. Everyone could hear the resentment in Li Shen's words.

However, no one refuted that among the four brothers present, Li Shen was the only one who built his family business on his own.

Such a big palace was built with his own money.

After Li Shen left the palace, Li Shimin did not give him a palace, not even the smallest one.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn. Li Shimin didn't know what to say, and Li Chengqian also kept silent.

Li Shen finally vented his anger and smiled victoriously.

But at this moment, an untimely voice sounded:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, if I remember correctly, the coal mountain behind Prince Ji's palace seems to be a reward from His Majesty, right?

The mountain next to the guard camp of Prince Ji's mansion in the southeast of Chang'an City and the wasteland within a radius of ten miles were also rewards from Your Majesty.

The industrial park and the Weishui Villa of Prince Ji’s Mansion cover an area of ​​more than 30 hectares, and it seems that they were also awarded by His Majesty.

As for the lands that the royal palace has reclaimed over the years, without your majesty's tacit approval, the court would have taken them back or demanded compensation long ago.

By this calculation, the Ji Wang Mansion has more than a thousand hectares of land around Chang'an City, not counting the fertile farmland, right?"

Li Shen had never hated the sound of someone's voice as much as he did now in his life.

Li Shen felt that just this sound was enough to cause him to be tortured to death a hundred times.

Without even looking, Li Shen knew that such an annoying voice must have come from that annoying old eunuch Wang De.

Who else but him would be the eunuch who dares to speak on this occasion?

"Li Shen, from what you just said, it seems like you have some complaints. Why don't you just speak out and I will listen to you?"

At this moment, Li Shimin finally straightened his back, and all his guilt and self-blame disappeared.

The teasing voice made Li Shen shudder unconsciously, and flattery appeared on his face again:

"Haha, Aye, I don't have any complaints. I just want to say that Aye is so kind to us sons. I am grateful!"

But after saying this, he felt something was wrong. Why should he be in the wrong? Weren't these things earned through his own labor?

Shitan Mountain was what Li Shen had gained in exchange for the crown prince, in exchange for helping to educate the crown prince.

And wasn’t the land for the industrial park also obtained by doing business?

But just as he was about to speak, he remembered his large iron mine and other mines in Liaodong. He felt a little guilty about this as he had taken them for himself.

"Why do you have anything else to say?" Li Shimin asked again when he saw Li Shen's changing expression.

"No, no, I have nothing to say." Li Shen waved his hands repeatedly.

Li Chengqian smiled but said nothing, feeling helpless. His younger brother had been on the verge of getting beaten all day.

He was also shocked by Li Shen's territory in Chang'an City.

You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t tell me, but if you counted carefully, Li Shen actually had so much territory in Chang’an City.

The most depressed were Li Tai and Li Zhi. Originally, they were somewhat complacent after Li Shen finished speaking, but now they began to feel depressed again.

As everyone knows, Prince Ji's Mansion owns more than 200,000 acres of fertile land in Chang'an City, which Li Shen bought a few years ago.

At that time, many ministers impeached Li Shen.

However, they didn't expect that in addition to fertile farmland, Li Shen also had so much land, all of which were rewards from their father.

Compared to Li Shenyi, what they got was just this much.

Li Zhi was especially resentful. He was not even as good as Li Tai, whose Furong Garden was thirty hectares.

In fact, Li Shen himself had never thought that he actually had such a large territory in Chang'an City.

For example, he had only stayed at the Ji Wang Mansion villa next to the Wei River a few times, and it was not as good as the manor next to the He River.

At this time, Li Chengqian suddenly spoke:

"Tenth brother, there has been no rain in Guanzhong since last winter, and there has been no rain until now.

A severe drought in Guanzhong prevented spring ploughing from proceeding normally, resulting in a total failure of harvest.

Do you have any good ideas?"

Li Shen was stunned and blurted out: "You want me to donate money."

(There are clear records about the rewards bestowed on Li Tai and Li Zhi. There still seem to be ruins. Are there any friends in Xi'an who can tell me more about them? They are Furong Garden, Wei Wang Pond and Wei Wang Dike.

In the Tang Dynasty, one hectare = 100 mu.)
