As soon as Li Shimin entered the Hall of Political Affairs, he saw Empress Zhangsun carrying the two-year-old Princess Chengyang. Beside her stood two cute little girls, Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang.
Chengyang and Changle were the biological children of the eldest grandson, while Yuzhang died due to his mother's dystocia. The eldest grandson saw that Yuzhang and Changle were about the same age, so he led them to raise them personally.
Therefore, his eldest grandson had personally raised three princesses by his side.
Li Shimin had a total of 21 daughters and 14 sons in his life, excluding early deaths. Up to now, he had 17 daughters and 8 sons. The youngest daughter was Princess Gao Yang, who was only one year old. The youngest son, Li Zhen, was still in her mother's womb. It was really amazing.
The eldest son, Li Chengqian, was only seven years old this year. It could be seen that Li Shimin's children were all born after the founding of the Great Tang. Even if they had children before the founding of the Great Tang, they had basically died early.
Li Shiming saw the two little girls and suddenly felt very happy. This was the body itself, but he did not resist.
As mentioned before, since he had taken over this body, there were some things that he had to accept. Moreover, the two of them looked very obedient.
"Your Majesty!""Aye!"
"Guanyin servant has worked hard. Did Changle and Yuzhang listen to mother today?”
The two cute little kids bowed first, then replied," Changle and Yuzhang are very obedient today." Under the guidance of their eldest grandson, the two of them seemed to be very polite, and their behavior was also very generous.
" Haha, since that's the case, I'll reward you with a small gift." As he spoke, he took out two plush toys that he had bought from the mall at the last minute. They were Pleasant Goat and Beautiful Goat.
The two cute little kids had never seen a toy from the 21st century before. They stared at the boss with surprise and asked," Is this for us?”
"Of course, take it." Li Shimin turned to Zhangsun and said,"Guanyin maid, pass the food."”
After the meal, Li Shimin took out the information he had written in the morning.
She took a portion of it and handed it to Zhangsun. She said to Zhangsun," These are the production techniques for soap, soap, perfume, glass, and cement. These Guanyin maidservants will arrange them. In the future, this would all belong to the royal family, and the profits would be transferred to the palace treasury. The income from the royal family's business operations would have to be paid taxes to the Ministry of Revenue.”
"Pay taxes?" Zhangsun asked.
In Zhangsun's mind, the entire Great Tang belonged to the Li Clan.
"Yes, taxes must be paid. Moreover, from now on, all expenses of the royal family and the inner palace will no longer be paid by the national treasury, and the national treasury will no longer bear them. Everyone in the Great Tang, including the royal family, had to pay income taxes to enrich the treasury.”
" Yes, Your Majesty." To Zhangsun, this was nothing more than moving from his left hand to his right hand, although the meaning was completely different.
"Also, don't set the price of glass too high. Although the Hu sell glass at a very high price, the cost of glass is too low. I wonder if the Guanyin maid has noticed the raw materials? For the sake of the royal family's reputation in the future, the price should not be too high. The perfume could be set at a higher price. After all, spices were needed. The Guanyin maidservant could take a look at the alcohol used to make the perfume. Different white spirits could be obtained by steaming it a few times. However, there was not enough food in the Tang Empire, so this was not urgent. However, alcohol was very useful. It could be used on wounds to prevent pus from forming. It could also be used to wipe the body when sick and feverish to lower the temperature. When the time comes, I will let the Ministry of War come to the inner residence to buy, and the Ministry of Revenue will take money from the national treasury. The money received by the palace treasury will have to be paid taxes to the Ministry of Revenue. The process should be formal and not as chaotic as before.”
"Second brother, did you say that the ancestor would teach you all these last night?”Empress Zhangsun was puzzled.
" Yes, Guanyin Maid." Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
When Empress Zhangsun heard this, she was overjoyed.
"Oh right, I also asked the supervisor to make some furniture. They might send it over in a while. You can also make these through the inner residence and sell them in the royal shop.”
Li Shimin handed the rest of the information to Zhangsun and said,""Guanyin maid, these are some of the management systems of the inner palace.”
Empress Zhangsun took the documents and read them. After reading them, she looked up at Li Shimin and said," There has never been such a system in the palace. The palace maids and eunuchs will be grateful to His Majesty for his consideration."”Empress Zhangsun had a pure nature and was known for her fairness in the harem.
Li Shiming waved his hand and said," It's nothing. It's not easy for them. Many of them entered the palace at the age of seven or eight. They haven't seen their families for decades or decades. They don't know the news of their families. Who doesn't have parents?”
"ChenQie thanks Your Majesty on their behalf."
"Among the four lists of Guanyin maidservants, the first list is for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Send the second batch of Imperial Father's men to Da 'an Palace. You can arrange the third one. The fourth portion could be fought for. In addition, I've marked all the existing management talents according to their abilities. You can adjust them as you see fit.”
"Mm…that's all. Zhen will go to Da 'an Palace to see father.”
"Second brother, when you go to father's place, be patient.”Xuanwu Gate's change made Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shiming extremely bad, and even swore that Li Shiming's sons would kill each other like them.
Therefore, when Zhangsun heard that Li Shimin was going to Da 'an Palace, he comforted him.
Li Shimin patted Zhangsun's hand and said," Don't worry, I'll save Guanyin Maid." He pointed to the information and said," I'll have to trouble Guanyin Maid later."”
Li Yuan of the Great Peace Palace was forced to abdicate, and he no longer had the supreme power in his hands. His body was rapidly collapsing. His obviously fat body, deep wrinkles on his face, and large and fat eye bags were all signs that Li Yuan was rapidly aging.
Li Yuan was lying on his side, drinking wine and watching the dancers dance. When he saw Li Shiming, he didn't move. He squinted at Li Shiming and said," Why is the Tang Emperor free to come here today?" Did Li Chengqian slash Li Tai, or did Li Ke stab Li Chengqian?”
Li Shimin's mouth twitched. Meow meow. How are we going to continue playing like this?
After a long silence, Li Shiming waved his hand to dismiss the dancer and the chamberlain.
He said,"Your son knows that Imperial Father hates your son, but your son has no choice." They could only resist. If they didn't want to be killed, they could only kill them.”
"What do you mean by being forced?" Li Yuan shouted angrily. It's fine if you killed Jiancheng, Yuanji, and the others, but did you have no choice but to kill Chengdao, Chengxun, and the others? Kill them all, kill them all. How do you want me to face your dead mother?”
Li Yuan's trembling body and panting indicated that he was extremely angry.
"Your son did not send anyone to kill Chengdao and the others. That day, Prince Qin's mansion was also attacked, causing some casualties in Prince Qin's mansion. However, your son believes that Jiancheng, Yuanji, and the others definitely did not send anyone to attack Prince Qin's mansion.”
Li Yuan had been an emperor before, so he understood what was going on.
Sometimes, the people under you would force you or help you do certain things.
Li Yuan's expression softened. He knew that Li Shiming would not lie to him at this time.
But he still asked," Is that true?”
" That's true." Li Yuan's entire body collapsed when he heard the answer.
In the past, he had hatred in his heart. He also knew that one of the two sides would inevitably fall. No matter which side fell, his descendants should not be implicated. But now he knew that both sides were implicated, and it was all done by his subordinates.
He was at a loss for a moment, unable to breathe, and fainted.
Li Shimin quickly went forward and pinched his philtrum. After a while, Li Yuan woke up. He stroked Li Yuan's back and said,"Ah Ye, things have come to this. Please take care of yourself."”
"For the throne, sigh…"
"Aye, last night the ancestor came to this son in a dream and imparted some knowledge to this son. In addition, I also gave him some immortal food." In order to completely solve the problem, Li Shimin used the old man to fool him.
Li Yuan asked anxiously,"Is that true?"”
" Indeed." Li Shimin took out the potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.
"This is called a potato, and the yield per mu is about 30 stones. This is corn, and the yield per mu is 10 stones. This was a sweet potato, or sweet potato, also known as sweet potato. The yield per mu was at least 50 stones. The potatoes and sweet potatoes could be planted on barren land, but the yield was lower. The stems of sweet potatoes could be eaten as vegetables, and the stems and leaves could be used to feed pigs. The stalks of corn could be cut into pieces and used as silage for cattle, horses, and sheep. This was the immortal grain given by the ancestor. With this kind of immortal grain, the Great Tang would no longer suffer from famine.”
Li Yuan was so excited that his face turned red. This was immortal food, and only immortal food could produce such a high amount of food.
Moreover, the manifestation of the ancestor was auspicious.
After calming himself down, Li Yuan finally understood that the Great Tang still wanted Li Shimin to sit on the throne.
The last knot in his heart was finally put down.
Li Shi Min also let out a sigh of relief. Damn it, it really wasn't as he wished. After playing cute, he finally stabilized the rear.
