"You two! All of you are not young anymore. You only know how to cause trouble all day long. Don't talk nonsense in front of the children."
Zhangsun Wugou looked at Li Shiming and Lin Feng who were competing with each other. He pulled Chang Le, who was looking around like a curious baby, over.
Looking at the dazed Yuzhang, she could only helplessly give him a comforting look.
"Didn't Old Li start it first? Sister-in-law, you can't blame me for this!"
Lin Feng pointed at Li Shiming innocently.
His movements were extremely natural.
However, this scene made the two little girls, Chang Le and Yu Zhang, who were sitting beside him, dumbfounded.
This big brother was really amazing. He actually dared to point his finger at Imperial Father.
Under the admiring gazes of the two little lolis, Li Shiming angrily slapped Lin Feng's hand away.
"Alright, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. His Majesty's reward has already been given. Tomorrow, you can clean up a room and send it over to you.”
Two thousand strings of money, that's not a small amount.
"The reward is finally here? The efficiency of the imperial court was truly touching!”
Old Li had come the last time because he had rewarded them with money.
In the end, it had been half a month before it was sent over.
This speed was a little too fast.
"Sigh, it's ridiculous! I'm such a big dynasty, but I don't have much money in the national treasury! Don't you think this is ridiculous? Even the 2,000 strings of money was only given after a lot of urging. How pathetic!"
Upon hearing Li Shiming's complaints, Lin Feng also sighed.
Li Shimin's Zhenguan years were indeed full of disasters.
Not only was he poor in the early stages, but he also had natural disasters every year.
In order to appease the people, Li Shi Min reduced the taxes and corvee by quite a bit.
This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury to the already poor national treasury.
Originally, the Ministry of Revenue only approved 1,000 strings, but Li Shimin found it embarrassing.
He also took out 1,000 strings of silver from his own treasury and added them into the reward for Lin Feng.
"What can I do if I'm poor? His Majesty didn't think of a way himself, and he always wanted to raise some idle people. It would be strange if he wasn't poor!”
When Lin Feng heard Li Shiming's words, he didn't even think about it and directly started mocking him.
After knowing Old Li for so long and there was no one else present, Lin Feng naturally wasn't on guard.
"What do you mean? Why didn't His Majesty think of a way? There was no other way! If there was a way, who would be willing to tighten their belts and live their lives!”
When Li Shi Min heard Lin Feng's mocking words, he wasn't angry. He just wanted to ridicule Lin Feng in his heart.
He didn't expect that he almost scratched his scalp for the sake of the national treasury.
Lin Feng's words caused Li Shiming to feel a little wronged.
"That's right, Big Brother Lin. Our Great Tang has just stabilized from the chaos of war, and it's not the right time to pay taxes. In addition to the continuous disasters, the imperial court has sent disaster relief from all over the country, which has led to the emptiness of the national treasury. In fact, His Majesty was still very attentive!”
When Chang Le saw his father being mocked by Lin Feng, he was instantly unhappy.
She looked at Lin Feng angrily, her little mouth pouting.
That cute little thing made Lin Feng subconsciously stretch out his hand and pinch her face.
"Ah! Brother Lin, how can you pinch a girl's face! you... Mother…"
The little lass, who was originally fuming with anger, instantly blushed after being pinched by Lin Feng.
She was like a frightened rabbit as she directly scuttled into Zhangsun Wugou's arms.
However, she still couldn't help but poke her head out as she stared at Lin Feng shyly.
Staring at such an adorable little fellow, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel his mood brighten.
"You're just a little kid, but you know quite a lot! Next time, let your mother bring the two of you to play. Uncle will prepare gifts for you!”
"Really? What gift is it?"
"Brother Lin, I have a gift too?”
"Call me uncle!"
"Yes, yes, I know, Brother Lin. Okay, Brother Lin!”
...
"Lil Feng, you said that His Majesty didn't think of a way. Does that mean that you have a way to solve this problem?”
When Lin Feng was teasing the two little girls, Zhangsun Wugou spoke up.
Li Shiming had just been insulted, and now that he was asked to speak, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
As for Zhangsun Wugou, he naturally didn't have such concerns.
"Of course there is a way. However, I'm afraid that His Majesty's thoughts can't keep up, so I won't use this method."
As Lin Feng spoke, he didn't forget to take a sip of tea.
When Yu Zhang saw that his teacup was empty, he immediately refilled it.
Her obedience was really likable.
"Big Brother Lin, what do you mean you can't keep up with your thoughts? I don't quite understand what you're saying!”
Li Lizhi, who was sitting beside Zhangsun Wugou, had a curious look on her face as she stared at Lin Feng.
Her little head was quickly thinking about the meaning of what he had just said.
Li Shiming was extremely happy to see his eldest daughter asking questions.
This daughter was so sensible! You know how to help your father ease the awkwardness.
"Xiao Li, the world that people live in is like a huge wheel, and the era we live in is directly below this wheel that has been rolling forward. As the wheels moved forward, the times moved forward! We humans are like ants under the wheel. If the wheel is moving forward, we must move forward as well. Otherwise, this wheel will crush our faces. Now, do you know what it means to keep up with your thoughts?”
