Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Chapter 16 The servant is gone, let me give you a minister

Li Shimin thought to himself, how to get Li You to offer the other two crops obediently.

As long as these three things are all obtained, the people of Datang will definitely be full.

At that time, Datang will also officially enter the prosperous age!

A once-in-a-millennium prosperity!
This is what Li Shimin has always wanted and what he has pursued all his life!
It's beautiful to think about!

Li Shimin tried his best to restrain his emotions.

Through these few contacts, Li Shimin had a thorough understanding of Li You's character.

This child eats soft but not hard!
Li Shimin put on a kindly smiling face and spoke.

"You'er, you are the minister of the household department now, so you should take on the responsibility of solving the national food problem."

"Although you are still young, we were born in the royal family, and we have obligations and responsibilities to the people of the world from birth."

Li Shimin was persuasive, and while Li You didn't complain about the first two sentences, he decisively said the third sentence.

"You'er, a single potato may not be able to satisfy the people of Tang Dynasty..."

After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Li You expectantly.

At this time, Li You looked at Li Shimin and was extremely speechless.

[Li Er, you are not joking, are you?The yield of potatoes is [-] catties per mu, and there is still no way to feed the people of Datang. You think everyone in Datang is Xiaojia’s classmate! 】

[Now the yield of wheat and rice in Datang is only about [-] catties per mu!Labor and management's potatoes have been directly dried to a yield of [-] catties per mu, which is a full dozen times! 】

[This is actually not enough to fill the stomach!Li Er, hehe! 】

But this time Li Shimin didn't pay any attention to the complaints in Li You's mind, and still guided patiently.

"You'er, didn't you just say that there is still corn? I heard that the yield is not bad, right?"

"If you think about it carefully, if there are any better crops, tell Father!"

Seeing that Li You was still puzzled, Li Shimin spoke proactively again.

"For example, is there any crop that can produce four thousand catties per mu..."

"This!"

After saying this, Li You couldn't help but gasped.

[Li Er is too scary, he can't be the roundworm in my stomach! 】

[How did he know that I still have four thousand catties of sweet potatoes per mu! 】

[Little Lizhi talked about corn just now, so I'll just give it to him. 】

[Sweet potatoes must not be told to Li Er, but the potatoes and corn are probably enough for me to peel off a layer, plus sweet potatoes, I will not be exhausted. 】

[But Laozi is still a child! 】

Li You's internal complaints naturally spread to Li Shimin's mind without saying a word.

Hearing Li You's compromise, Li Shimin gave another evil smile at the corner of his mouth.

After Li You made up his mind, he also said with a smile: "Father, you really think highly of me! The yield per mu is four thousand catties, isn't that a myth?"

"Let's promote the potatoes first! This way, the common people don't have to go hungry anymore!"

"It's not the season now. When the weather gets warmer, I'll send corn seeds to the household department."

After Li You finished speaking, Li Shimin also nodded with a smile.

Since Li You insisted on refusing to tell about sweet potatoes, he no longer forced himself to do so. He was already satisfied with getting corn and potatoes today.

After eating, both father and daughter left Chu Palace contentedly.

Little Lizhi took a bag full of lollipops, while Li Shimin brought his longing for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

It wasn't until Li Shimin returned to the palace that he suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed "Not good!"

Li Shimin's voice startled Li Junxian who was on the side.

He hurriedly asked nervously, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said it was all right.

It turned out that at this time, Li Shimin remembered the purpose of his trip to Chu Palace, he was to ask about the timber and carpenters.

But the remorseful expression only flashed across Li Shimin's face.

Although this trip to Chu Palace today completely deviated from his original intention, he gained even more.

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt that Li You was hiding something. If he digs it out, there must be surprises.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin made a major decision.

Soon, there was heavy news from the palace.

Pei Ju, Minister of the Household Department, was old, and His Majesty allowed him to retire and return to his hometown, and the post of Minister of the Household Department was replaced by the current Minister of the Household Department.

After the departmental minister left, it was naturally no problem to let the servant take over for the time being.

Throughout the ages, such examples are not uncommon.

But the question is, who is Li You!
Besides being a prince, he is just a seven-year-old child!
The news spread like wildfire, and in less than half a day, it spread in Chang'an!
Before Li Shimin let the princes enter the six departments to familiarize themselves with government affairs, it caused a lot of shock in the government and the public.

Now the important position of Minister of the Household Department has been handed over to Li You.

The three provinces and six ministries are the foundation of the imperial court and the brain of the sophisticated machine of the empire.

Let such a child live in the brain, and everyone feels that their brains are not enough.

The fastest responder to this news was Prince Li Chengqian.

From Li You's appointment, he felt a deep crisis.

He immediately invited his uncle Changsun Wuji to the East Palace.

"Uncle, what kind of ecstasy soup did Li You pour his father into to be the Secretary of the Household Department!"

Li Chengqian has always been concerned about Li Shimin's whereabouts, so he naturally knew that Li Shimin had issued an imperial edict as soon as he returned from the Chu Palace.

"Uncle, you have to decide for me!"

Li Chengqian shook Changsun Wuji's arm coquettishly again.

When Changsun Wuji heard the news just now, he thought he heard it wrong.

Today in the court hall, he and Wei Zheng joined forces, it can be said that he participated in Li You's book hard.

Unexpectedly, not only was Li You fine, but he was promoted from the Minister of the Household Department to the Minister of the Household Department.

"Prince, don't be in a hurry. Uncle will go to the Palace of Qinzheng now and ask for an explanation."

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he stood up confidently, waved his sleeves and walked towards the Hall of Qinzheng.

As soon as Changsun Wuji arrived at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, he ran into Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who were walking back.

"You two, are you going back?"

Changsun Wuji greeted the two of them, but they nodded bitterly.

Unlike Changsun Wuji who came from the East Palace, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were originally in the palace.

Fang Xuanling was in charge of Zhongshu Province, and he knew the news as soon as the imperial decree was issued.

He didn't go to look for His Majesty immediately, but first went to find Du Ruhui who was working in Shangshu Province.

At this time, Du Ruhui's body was already a little weak.

Before Fang Xuanling entered the room, he heard his coughing.

"Ruhui, you have to take care of yourself."

Fang Xuanling said with concern.

Du Ruhui waved his hand slightly, "It's okay, it's probably just a cold feeling. Xuanling, I know why you came to see me. Let's go, Your Majesty has really messed up this time!"

"The King of Chu is not only young, but also has always been stupid. This is known to everyone in Chang'an. Now that the new dynasty has just established, it is not nonsense to ask him to be the Minister of the Household Department!"

Fang Xuanling analyzed while walking, every sentence hit the point.

"More than that, isn't the prince all interns in various ministries recently? The other princes are also conscientious, but this king of Chu. After so long, I don't know where the door of the household department is open."

Du Ruhui continued to speak, frowning.

The two walked while talking, but they didn't expect to be blocked at the gate of Qinzheng Palace.

The eunuch guarding the gate told them: "Your Majesty, no one will be seen today!"
