Empress Zhangsun's mind raced as she frowned and said,""Imperial Mother remembers that the Yu Family Valley isn't a good place. They can't even grow food, so what do you want to do there?”
"Mother, this is what that expert wants.”
Empress Zhangsun was even more puzzled. It was understandable to want a piece of land with good Feng Shui, but it was not normal to want that kind of place.
Empress Zhangsun felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Is there a problem over there? Even though none of them are willing to take that piece of land, your Imperial Father would not casually bestow such a large piece of land to someone he has never met before. If the other officials knew about this, they would definitely criticize your father.”
Especially Wei Zheng, he didn't give Li Shimin any face at all!
"Mother, what if the expert says that he can solve the problem of the shortage of heating supplies in Chang 'an?”
Li Lizhi was a little proud.
Empress Zhangsun was also surprised, but she didn't show it too clearly.
Empress Zhangsun didn't expect that Li Lizhi would actually tell the expert about it when she had just said it casually.
The most unbelievable thing was that there was actually a way to solve this problem.
Empress Zhangsun realized that she had seriously underestimated the experts that Li Lizhi knew.
The matter that had left Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui all in a terrible state, had been solved so quickly.
"Girl, can you tell mother that mother is very curious about the method of the master?”Empress Zhangsun hurriedly asked.
"Mother, your son doesn't know the details. The master said that there is a way.”
Empress Zhangsun smiled." Mother understands!”
"Mother, don't worry. The expert said it's fine, there's absolutely no problem.”Li Lizhi was very confident in Xiaoran.
...
In the Taiji Palace's main hall, Li Shi Min looked at Chen Qi Yuan and said with a smile,"On behalf of the people of Chang 'an, I thank the Chen family for the materials they provided.”
Resources were scarce, and the national treasury was empty. They had no choice but to borrow from the aristocratic families.
As for how much they could accept, it would depend on the attitude of the aristocratic families.
They would borrow more or less, it was just a matter of how much.
Encountering such extreme weather, it would be unreasonable not to express it.
Compared to the other aristocratic families, the Chen family surprised Li Shimin.
Not only did he borrow, but he also gave away quite a lot. This amount made Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji feel very surprised.
In Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji and the others 'impression, these aristocratic families were all stingy and stingy.
"Brother Chen is righteous, this little brother is ashamed!”Zhangsun Wuji cupped his fists towards Chen Qi Yuan.
"Milord, you flatter me. As citizens of the Great Tang, it is our honor to share His Majesty's burdens!”
"This is the fortune of the people of Chang 'an and the fortune of the Tang Empire!”Ma Zhou said with a smile.
This made Chen Qi Yuan feel embarrassed.
The boasting had gone a little too far.
"I dare not, I dare not. Lord Ma is overpraising me.”Chen Qi Yuan was also sweating profusely.
"It is only at this critical moment that we know who is truly serving the people and the Great Tang. We cannot mistreat the Chen family…" Li Shi Min pondered for a moment," Is there any suitable land nearby…"
"Your Majesty, the Yu Family Valley in the west of the city is not bad!" Fang Xuanling quickly said.”
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Chen Qi Yuan wanted to curse.
It was previously given to the Wang family of Taiyuan, but the Wang family did not want it no matter what. Now, it was given to the Chen family of Mengjin.
Chen Qi Yuan also understood that if he accepted this piece of land, the food and resources he had lent to the Great Tang would be gone.
Chen Qi Yuan suddenly felt like he had suffered a huge loss!
No one would want the land over there even if they gave it away!
It was useless!
If he wanted to build a house, he couldn't do anything.
Until now, no one knew what else they could do.
"Your Majesty, this is just a small token of appreciation from the Chen Family. There's no need for a reward!" Chen Qi Yuan said with a long face.”
If he didn't reward them, he could still get back some of the resources he had lent out.
The royal family was also shameless. They could not go back on their words.
Li Shimin waved his hand." That won't do! My beloved minister is deeply righteous and for the country and the people. If I don't express it, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future!”
"Your Majesty is right. Brother Chen, please accept it! I can't let down His Majesty's good intentions!”Zhangsun Wuji said with a smile.
It was rare for these aristocratic families to be generous. There was no way they could return the resources they had spat out.
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji were prepared to use the piece of land that no one wanted to give away to the Chen family to turn the materials borrowed by the Chen family into their own.
"Chen Clan Leader, His Majesty is sincere. Don't reject him.”Ma Zhou also tried to persuade him.
Chen Qi Yuan finally understood that he had been scammed.
The Chen family had failed several times in succession and missed opportunities time and time again. Now, they were already in decline.
It was already far inferior to the other aristocratic families.
He wanted to change Li Shiming's attitude towards the Chen Family, but he didn't expect this result.
"Your Majesty, this is what the Chen clan should do…"
......
Li Lizhi, who was in the side hall, heard it and felt very worried.
Li Shi Min and the others were still trying to persuade him.
When the two of them heard that Yu Jiagou had come over to listen, they did not expect this outcome.
"Mother, you can't give this to the Chen Family!”Li Lizhi said.
Empress Zhangsun thought for a moment and said,"Leave it to mother!"”
Empress Zhangsun entered Taiji Palace's main hall from the side door with a cup of tea.
Seeing Empress Zhangsun, they were a little surprised and hurriedly bowed.
Empress Zhangsun placed the tea in front of Li Shimin and stuffed a note into his mouth.
He bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou, and the others were still tugging at Chen Qi Yuan.
Li Shimin felt that Empress Zhangsun's appearance was a little strange. It was obviously not normal to send water at this time.
Empress Zhangsun never interfered in politics. Li Shimin opened the note and read it.
She picked up the tea and took a sip as if nothing had happened.
Li Shimin didn't understand what Empress Zhangsun meant, but he trusted Empress Zhangsun so he listened to her.
"In that case, let's drop this matter!"”
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Ma Zhou were stunned.
He thought that he had heard wrongly.
