Walking on the flat stone road, Li Shimin had mixed feelings. A village under the rule of bandits had developed better than Chang 'an City, which he was most proud of.
Whether it was the subordinates or the ordinary villagers, they all respected Jiang Tian from the bottom of their hearts.
But in the court, how many officials were truly loyal to him, and how many officials respected him from the bottom of their hearts, let alone the ordinary people?
Thinking of this, Li Shiming felt a little depressed. He was actually not as good as a bandit leader.
" What do you think? My Clear Wind Stronghold is not bad, right? I'm not boasting, but it's stronger than Chang 'an Fortress.”
Li Shiming turned his head and looked at Jiang Tian. He felt strange. He could clearly feel that Jiang Tian's attitude had changed drastically since they entered the village.
He didn't look like a captive now, but more like a tourist visiting the village.
"Hmm?"
An ox cart carrying ores suddenly passed by, attracting Li Shiming's attention. If he was not mistaken, those were mineral salt.
"Don't you know that mineral salt is poisonous? Eating it will make one's entire body turn purple and eventually die in unbearable pain. As the Fort Master, how can you treat your own people like this?”
Jiang Tian's change in attitude helped Li Shiming recover. When he saw Jiang Tian forcing the Clear Wind Camp to eat mineral salt, his face darkened.
"You can be a high official with just this. It seems that Xiao Dao is right. As an official, you only need to be able to show off your might.”
"Think about it. If the villagers ate mineral salt, would they look good?" Jiang Tian mocked.”
Hearing this, Li Shimin felt embarrassed. He thought of the villagers 'full faces and ruddy complexion. They did not look like they had eaten mineral salt.
Li Er got rid of the awkwardness in his mind. Looking at the carts of mineral salt being pulled in, he forgot to ask about his two wives for a moment and asked directly,"If it's not for food, then why do you need so much mineral salt?”
Jiang Tian waved his hand.”
Li Er followed Jiang Tian suspiciously.
As he went deeper into the village, Li Er saw an endless 10,000 mu of fertile land. However, he realized that other than the golden wheat in the middle, the rest of the land was abandoned and covered with green vines.
"Why didn't you plant anything in these fertile fields?”Li Er was very puzzled.
" They're sweet potatoes," Jiang Tian replied." But they're not ripe yet, so I won't show you."”
"Sweet potato? What was this? I didn't see anything planted either. It's all weeds.”Li Shi Min was slightly stunned. Although he was the emperor, he was very proficient in the farming of the common people, but he had never heard of sweet potatoes.
Jiang Tian approached Li Shiming and smiled faintly,""Why? If you want to know, I'll tell you if you agree to one condition.”
"Alright, I promise you. Hurry up and tell me what this sweet potato is.”
Now that the new dynasty had just been established, although the people were stable, Li Shiming knew that there were still many people who did not have enough to eat. Now that a new type of food had appeared, how could he not be excited?
Jiang Tian laughed mockingly." Why don't you ask me what my condition is first? If I agree and can't do it, I'll be castrated."”
Li Shi Min trembled when he heard castration.
"Then what are your conditions?"
Looking at Li Shiming's nervous face, Jiang Tian smiled and said,""Relax, it was just a joke. I'm not as perverted as the Emperor, who has the bad habit of cutting off his servants.”
Li Shi Min's face turned red when he heard that. Wasn't he the pervert that Jiang Tian was talking about?
"The condition is very simple. I have taken a fancy to your two wives. However, I am a person who abides by etiquette, so please give them a divorce certificate so that I can be justified. However,"
"What?! This is definitely not possible." No matter how good-tempered Li Shi Min was, he was furious when he heard this. They were his beloved eldest grandson and Concubine Yang. How could he give them up to others?
Moreover, if that were the case, how could he still have the face to be the Emperor of the Great Tang? How could a man who couldn't even protect his own wife protect the people of the Great Tang?
"Look at you. You can't even control your emotions well. How can you be a good official? How can you climb up? How can you be below one person and above ten thousand people in the future?”
Jiang Tian said with a smile but a disappointed tone.
"Besides, I haven't even finished speaking. Why are you so angry? It's as if I'm bullying you.”
Li Shiming was about to go crazy from anger. If he wasn't angry when he was forced to give up his wife, he would still be a man.
"Anyway, I won't give up on the two madams. You can give up on this idea.”Li Shi Min said firmly.
Looking at Li Shiming, Jiang Tian shook his head with a smile. It was fun to tease a high-ranking official.
