Yuchi Baoqi arrived at the Manna Hall with a relaxed look on his face and walked straight in, "Father-in-law, how are you feeling? My son-in-law hasn't seen his father-in-law for a long time, and he misses him so much." Yuchi Baoqi smiled all over his face.

Li Shimin said with a straight face: "You kid, you still know that you have a father-in-law like me? After all, what price did the family pay this time?"

Yuchi Baoqi grinned from ear to ear: "They bought grain at a high price and then sold it at a low price. I heard that they sold the land. Does my father-in-law know who bought the land? Also, does he know who bought the grain? Are they gone? They have lost their money, food, and land. This time, even if we don’t take their lives, we have to skin them.”

Li Shimin was shocked. He knew that the family would definitely be cheated, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable. "How much is it? Let me see the list." Li Shimin couldn't wait to say.

Yuchi Baoqi took out a small book and said loudly: "50 guan of money, 170 shi of grain, fields, calligraphy and paintings, books, and treasures are countless."

After hearing this, Li Shimin said with a flattering look on his face: "My good son-in-law, you can't spend all this money and food. Give some to my father-in-law. My father-in-law hasn't drafted for a long time."

Yuchi Baoqi knew that he couldn't hold on, so he said angrily: "I have already given 30 shi to the Ministry of Industry. You can go and get it yourself. Of the more than 170 million shi of grain, 90 shi are new rice. I will give you the imperial warehouse." The rest was sent to make compressed biscuits, which can be saved for a few more years. The refugees who came here to escape in the past exchanged their work points for those fields, and they settled in Chang'an. I have a shop and books, and I can give you calligraphy and paintings. If there are any treasures, I will Give it to Li Zhi.”

Seeing that Yuchi Baoqi was so filial and caring about his daughter, Li Er was also very happy: "I know you kid, you have done everything well. But you have tricked the aristocratic family, and the heads of the aristocratic family are not easy to fool. Yes. Have you figured out what to do?"

Yuchi Baoqi blinked his big innocent eyes: "When did I cheat the family? Grain is sold by the imperial court, and the price of grain is set by the imperial court. The land is allocated to the refugees and the land deeds have been passed. The new rice is in the Huangcang and Chen The rice is in the military grain factory. Which of all these things has anything to do with me? Father-in-law, don't talk nonsense. I have been retiring in the village these days, and I haven't gone anywhere."

Li Shimin was stunned: "Then I am not the culprit? It's not enough for you kid to cheat on your father, you also cheated on me, my father-in-law?"

Yuchi Baoqi crossed his arms and said contemptuously: "Don't ask for money, don't ask for food, don't ask for any of these things. The benefits are all yours, and I'll take all the blame? Did I give you freedom?" Fire, old baby."

"Anyway, you can handle it on your own with the Aristocratic Family. My second sword will be used soon. If they want to embarrass my father-in-law, I'll do it earlier. Okay, I'll go to the Li Zheng Palace to give something to my mother-in-law first. ”

Li Er felt much better after hearing the next sentence: "You kid, you know that your mother-in-law, I am not good to you? I have something to send to Ganlu Hall, and your mother-in-law is not in Lizheng Hall. She went to Da'an Palace. I went to play mahjong with the Supreme Emperor, and Li Zhi is also there. Also, why did you make Qing Que go farming, but I have lost a lot of weight recently and I am very energetic. "

Yuchi Baoqi spread his hands and said: "I don't know what's wrong with your old Li family. Your general Tiance and Zhongshu Ling are invincible, but it turns out that the prince appointed by the old man is your eldest brother. What about you? You only favor Li Tai, and the prince ignores you. Yes, maybe I keep scolding him. Now that Li Tai has gone to farm, wouldn't it be better to avoid the brother's feud? If they weren't two beautiful siblings, I wouldn't bother to care about this business. Goodbye, 886. "

Li Er didn't know what Baba Liu was, so he could only imitate him and say: "Okay, go. Baba Liu."

After Yuchi Baoqi left, Li Shimin thought about what he said about the brothers' feud with each other, as if he had indeed not seen the prince for a long time. Call Wang De and show him the East Palace.

When Yuchi Baoqi arrived at Da'an Palace, he knelt down in front of Queen Changsun and said, "My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law."

Empress Changsun touched Yuchi Baoqi's head: "Good boy, here we are. Have you seen your father-in-law before? He is in a much better mood and smiles more recently. My mother-in-law thinks it must be your credit."

Yuchi Baoqi stood up and sat next to Li Lizhi. "I've seen it. He told me that my mother-in-law is not here at the Li Zheng Palace. Hey, where is the old man? Didn't he say he was playing mahjong? Where are the others?"

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled: "The Supreme Emperor broke the glass beads you gave him. When he heard that you were coming, he hid quickly, saying that he was too embarrassed to see you."

Yuchi Baoqi walked behind the screen and looked at Li Yuan through the gap in the screen. He said: "It's not a very expensive thing. If you drop it, just drop it. I'll just have someone bring it to you."

Li Yuan felt a little guilty: "Didn't you tell me that I am the only one in the Tang Dynasty who has this thing? I dropped it, and I feel very sad."

Yuchi Baoqi pulled Li Yuan back to the table: "Have you ever seen me give glass to anyone? That thing is worthless. If you want me to give you a sack, it will be fine. You are the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty who has it because I only give it to others." I gave it to you. It’s something that can be burned out of a handful of sand, and it makes you so nervous.”

Yuchi Baoqi went to pick up a few things from the carriage outside: "Try it, a wool vest. Produced by the Tang Dynasty State-owned Textile Factory No. [-], pure wool with no additives, guaranteed to keep you warm."

Li Lizhi held the clothes and asked curiously: "Wear it close to the skin?" Yuchi Baoqi almost had a nosebleed: "No, no, just put one layer of outer clothes on the inside."

Li Lizhi went behind the screen to change into clothes. The bloated clothes before became much lighter.

"Usually it's still cold even if I wear four pieces of clothing. This time I just need to wear an inner layer and an outer layer. It's really warm."

Empress Changsun stared at the clothes and asked, "Is this clothes expensive?"

Yuchi Baoqi said: "The main material is wool, which was exchanged with the Turks for glass balls. The rest is the wages of the workers and the wear and tear of the textile machines. In the case of large-scale output, it is not worth mentioning."

Empress Changsun touched the woolen vest and said, "Is that enough to sell to the people? This way the people can survive the cold winter safely."

When Yuchi Baoqi saw that Empress Changsun loved the people so much, she bowed her head and said: "The Empress cares about the people and is such a kind and virtuous master of the harem. It is indeed the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty! My servant, Yuchi Baoqi salutes the Empress on behalf of the world."

Then he added: "The widespread sale of woolen clothes in the Tang Dynasty is a national policy and is part of the first five-year plan for food and clothing in the Tang Dynasty that I plan to submit to Your Majesty. The output is still limited and can only be supplied to Chang'an and Luoyang. people. In the future, we will continue to build factories and increase production intensity. By then, we can sell them all over the country and the state will provide subsidies."

Li Yuan didn't understand but was shocked: "The first five-year plan for food and clothing in the Tang Dynasty! It sounds very impressive."
