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

Changsun Huan was not surprised that Goguryeo's emissary gave in. No one in Chang'an City was afraid of that rogue prince.

Others still want to be shameless, but Prince Ji is the representative of shamelessness, and he will dare to use any means on you.

After dinner, Changsun Huan took these people to stroll around the industrial park for a while, and then returned to Chang'an City with the envoys.

And they agreed to take them around Chang'an City in a few days.

Back at Duke Zhao's Mansion, Changsun Huan came to his study and took out a note from his pocket.

This was given to him by an official in the mission when no one else was paying attention.

I opened the note and saw the words "meet" written on it.

Changsun Huan knew that this was the envoy of the envoy who wanted to meet him. He thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a note.

He planned to secretly pass it to Goguryeo's envoy when he went to court tomorrow.

In the evening, Li Shimin watched some important memorials reviewed by the prince in the Dragon Palace.

At this time Wang De came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, this is the news that was just delivered from outside. Nothing happened in Chang'an City. Everything is calm."

Li Shimin took the secret letter handed over by Wang De and read it.

"Jin Hai?"

Li Shimin was a little surprised when he saw these two words. There was actually no big news in them.

It's just that Li Shimin ordered to report unusual things in Chang'an City, so there was this secret letter.

One of them mentioned a group organization, Jin Hai.

“Your Majesty, this Jinhai is where some businessmen gather together to exchange news.

They behave themselves in Chang'an and everything is normal. "

Wang De explained during his lifetime.

Li Shimin looked at the report carefully and found nothing wrong, but he felt that something was wrong.

How come there are businessmen forming small groups? Even if they get together, they will not form a small group.

The various business gangs that started out were now defeated by the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty.

At most, there can be some loose organizations such as hometown associations, and they travel together to transport goods and so on.

But I can’t even come up with a name.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this Jin Hai Tuan?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Your Majesty, the members of the Jinhai Regiment are doing things normally, so there should be no problems." Wang De was a little unsure when he was asked this question.

"Send someone to check on this Jin Hai Group, especially their leader. There are no merchant gangs in Datang now.

These people are not from the same hometown, so it would be a good idea to pay attention to them. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang De nodded.

"What has Lao Shi been doing recently?" Li Shimin thought of his lovable son again.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness Prince Ji has been confined in the palace. Isn't it because Princess Ji is about to give birth? His Highness Prince Ji has been preparing for Princess Ji's birth every day."

Wang De said with a smile.

"Hmph, he doesn't want to make progress, he only knows that the love between children is not of much use. What else can a woman use him for when she gives birth?

Wouldn't it be enough to just go to medical school then? "Li Shimin curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"Back to Your Majesty, King Ji built an operating room at home and ordered a new set of surgical tools to be built.

Now Li Xiuwei has moved into Prince Ji's Mansion, bringing with him four or five women who are good at surgery.

I stayed with Princess Ji every day and didn't even go to the sacrifices at Huangzhuang. "

"You bastard, he doesn't go to such important events as offering sacrifices to start the new year and praying for good weather. It's really unreasonable.

Doesn't he know that offering sacrifices to heaven and earth will make the city feel at ease? If the harvest is not good this year, what will the people in Zhuangzi think?

There will definitely be rumors going around outside that he, King Ji, disrespects the heaven and the earth, which is why the heavens bring down natural disasters.

Doesn't he know the impact this has on my royal reputation? "Li Shimin blew his beard and glared angrily.

Before farming every year, the head of the family will personally lead the farmers to kill pigs and sheep to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, to wish for good weather and abundant harvests throughout the year.

Li Shen actually gave birth to a child for a woman, and that's all.

Since Zhenguan, there have been natural disasters almost every year. Li Shimin knows best what natural disasters will bring to people, or what they will bring to him.

Every year there are rumors that he has angered God, or that he is immoral.

"Well, Your Majesty, Prince Ji has sent a message to his four Zhuangzi people. Even if there is no production this year, Prince Ji's Mansion will supply them with food according to the production.

If Princess Ji can give birth smoothly, King Ji is also prepared to reward her generously.

So now the people of King Ji's four villages pray to God at home every day for the smooth delivery of Princess Ji.

There are even people who go to temples and Taoist temples to offer incense. "

Wang De couldn't help but laugh. In terms of financial resources, Prince Ji's Mansion could support these people for a lifetime.

Li Shimin became even more angry when he heard Wang De's words. There were two bad guys who acted recklessly and didn't take him seriously at all.

But there was nothing he could do. His son was not afraid of him at all.

Li Shen agreed to whatever he said, but he had no intention of repenting.

"I'm tired. I'm going to Daji Hall for dinner today. You can send someone to inform me. I heard that a batch of fresh food has arrived at Daji Hall..."

"Oysters."

"Yes, oysters. Why is the name Lao Shi so strange? Tell Concubine Wei to bake some for me."

Wang De knew that His Majesty was going to the Daji Hall to complain. It seemed that King Ji was going to be reprimanded again.

Your Majesty is using the strategy of killing someone with a borrowed knife to find someone who can cure King Ji.

Sure enough, the next day Li Shen was scolded by Concubine Wei's personal maid in the tone of Concubine Wei.

There was also a letter from Concubine Wei, in which she reprimanded him for not leading the people to perform sacrifices and so on.

Li Shen's face was full of helplessness, and he couldn't refute it. He smiled and even rewarded the maid with several strings of money.

He knew that it must be his worthless father who heard about this, but he was afraid that he would not comply with it.

So he adopted a roundabout tactic, borrowed a knife to kill someone, and went to his mother to sue him. It was really impossible for him to live.

"When someone comes, please immediately inform the leaders of the four villages to prepare sacrifices tomorrow. The place will be placed at the intersection of the four villages.

Fugui, send someone to prepare the sacrificial items tomorrow, don't waste my time. "

There was no other way, Mom had spoken, even if it meant breaking the law, he would have to get things done.

Including his own land, the total land owned by Prince Ji's Mansion around Chang'an City is only 200,000 acres.

How much money can I make a year? If I hadn't provided so many farm tools and cattle, I wouldn't be able to cultivate all the 200,000 acres of land.

Every year during the farming season, all the people, young and old, go out to work. After they finish planting their own land, they have to help Prince Ji's Mansion do the planting.

In recent years, the land rent of Prince Ji's Mansion has been falling again and again. If it weren't for the insistence of the food townsmen, Prince Ji's Mansion wouldn't even want to take it.

All the grain produced every year was enough for the people to keep for themselves for a year, and the rest was sold to Prince Ji's Mansion at a high price.

Prince Ji's palace now has a lot of food in the cave over the coal, and he is still afraid of Mao's natural disasters.
