I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

These two cows must not be killed.

Tang Lv and Tang Lv were just joking, Yin Xuan had a hundred ways to let the two cows die "naturally" without pain, even if he did an autopsy, they couldn't find any problems.

The key is that after the beginning of spring next year, the two acres of land cannot be abandoned.

Potatoes and tomatoes are fine, but the most important thing is that Yin Xuan wants to grow something else, which is relatively more important.

These two cows are the most important labor force in the family.

Yin Xuan tied them to a corner of the courtyard, touched their corners, felt good, touched them again, and fed them the fodder brought by the staff of Chunjiang Tower.

"eat more."

"Fat and fat, no, it's better to be healthy."

The old cow is very docile, grazing with his head down.

In the restaurant, Wei Zheng couldn't sit still, like an irritated old cow, he picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

He just stood up.

Li Lizhi and Li Shu immediately pricked up their little ears and stared at him seriously, fighting together.

Seeing Wei Zheng leave in a hurry, Gao Tie began to clean up the table he had sat on, the two little girls were relieved, the little old man finally left.

Wei Zheng didn't go home, but went directly to the imperial city.

Yin Xuan left half of what he said, and he couldn't let himself be entangled in it alone.

"He really said that?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, looked at Wei Zheng, and stroked his beard.

Wei Zheng nodded: "I dare not speak nonsense."

Li Shimin put down his hands, and put aside the beards that he had accidentally pulled off: "Don't you think that it is possible that the store owner wants to be a merchant in the future, and then he said such a thing?"

Wei Zheng paused for a moment, then nodded: "Your Majesty is wise, it is naturally possible."

"However, I think that if the shop owner really has this idea, he won't talk about it with me."

What is the truth?
What is hidden in the heart is what is in the heart.

Telling others, writing in a diary, or even publishing it in a newspaper to the public is not what is in the heart.

What a smart person wants to do, it is absolutely impossible to tell others what he is going to do.

Li Shimin nodded and asked with a smile: "Did the shopkeeper ever say that since he thinks the current court policy is wrong, what is the correct way?"

Wei Zheng replied, "The store didn't say anything."

Li Shimin froze for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

Wei Zheng was straightforward: "The shopkeeper said it was his knowledge, if you want to know, I have to worship him as a teacher before you can learn it."

Li Shimin said sadly: "Then you just worship him as your teacher, Confucius is not ashamed to ask."

Wei Zheng became more confident: "The minister is the servant."

The servant is the highest leader of the Menxia Province, and the duties of the Menxia Province are to discuss state affairs, review edicts, and sign memorials. It is a review institution.

To put it more simply, it means that when others raise their opinions, they save themselves from finding faults.

The meaning of Wei Zheng's words was expressed very clearly. It was not his turn to be responsible for matters like this, and it was not his turn to be the top official of the subordinate province.

It is not a shame to learn from a capable junior.

But the key is
If he became Yin Xuan's apprentice, he would be a generation shorter than Yin Xuan. If Cheng Yaojin and the others were willing to call Yin Xuan brothers and sisters, he would have to call each one uncle.

With the temperament of those warriors, beating the juniors is easier than eating.

In the future, if I speak out against them in the court hall, when I leave the court hall and put on ordinary clothes, they can beat themselves uprightly and justly in the name of "uncle, uncle beating nephew".

At my own age, how can Duan Guan be so skinny.

After thinking about it, Wei Zheng still decided not to give them a chance to avenge them privately.

Li Shimin sighed.

Wei Zheng's eyes sharpened.

This sigh is definitely not because I didn't catch Yin Xuan's words, right?
"Xuan Cheng, what do you think of the store's remarks?" Li Shimin was disappointed for a while, pulled himself together, and asked.

Wei Zheng thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "I have been thinking about this problem all the time on the way here."

"What are the benefits of merchants to our Tang Dynasty?"

"Transferring goods from the south to the north and sending goods from the north to the south can be said to be useful."

"Or merchants collect money, accumulate wealth at home, and pay taxes, which can barely be said to be useful to the court."

"Besides this, I can't think of any other benefits."

Li Shimin fell into deep thought. Wei Zheng's thoughts were similar to his own. All he could think of was these. Even if he raised his status as a merchant and tried his best to develop merchants, it seemed that this was the only thing he could bring.
After thinking for a long time, the monarch and his subjects sighed in a very tacit understanding.

"That shopkeeper is extraordinary." Li Shimin shook his head, "I still can't figure him out. I think he should be my own care."

"I'm going to investigate again."

Wei Zheng cupped his hands: "Then I will thank you, Your Royal Highnesses."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "I have it in my heart."

Ok?
Something is wrong, the little old man Wei Zheng is talking about the two princesses, what do you mean?Think I can't find out the news?
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on Wei Zheng like a knife.

Wei Zheng was frank and frank, with a dignified look on his face.

The group of them went to the Tongfu restaurant, and if they wanted to hear something useful, it all depended on Yin Xuan's face. If Yin Xuan was happy, he would talk to them, but if Yin Xuan was unhappy, he would just greet them.

Only the two princesses could learn something from Yin Xuan continuously and steadily.

Your Majesty is unreliable!

Of course Wei Zheng didn't dare to say this, his body was weak and his family was poor, he raised several wives, so many servants, cattle and horses, and the mansion where he entered and exited frequently was a place to spend money.

It would be a fatal thing to have his salary cut for a few months, and he would not be able to eat at Tongfu restaurants for four or five days.

Li Shimin waved his hands angrily, and drove Wei Zheng away.

I looked at the dossier on the copybook and thought, maybe what Wei Zheng said made some sense?
He remembered what Empress Changsun said that night.

Li Lizhi is not young.

It's also the age when it's time to leave the cabinet. Royal marriages have never been as simple as they seem, and they always have a trace of interest.

Li Shimin had previously considered the children of the eldest grandson's family. After all, they were Li Lizhi's cousins. Without a clear goal, it was a very safe choice to get married.

But when Datang is in his hands, even if he does not marry other people, there will be no serious consequences.

Maybe I shouldn't just think about these things from the perspective of an emperor.

Should also be considered from a father's point of view?
Li Shimin knocked on the table absently, then made up his mind, flipped through the official affairs in his hands, and if there was nothing wrong with the court tomorrow, he must go to Tongfu Restaurant.
