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

"Oh? What's the difference between them? Isn't this one that's heading north from their family?"

Yuhuatian said indifferently.

"It's true that the fast horse belongs to the Lu family, but in fact, someone from the Lu family set off yesterday."

"And according to Jin Yiwei's report, after the fast horse set off today, the Lu family set off again with pigeons."

"With such frequent contacts, I think there must be something strange in it."

"Compared to the Lu family, the connections with other families are fairly normal."

Hearing Fan Yang Lu's, Li You's expression also became a little strange.

He thought of the letters from Youzhou in his drawer, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Fan Yang and Lu's family are interesting, please watch carefully, maybe the most exciting thing this time is related to them."

After finishing speaking, Li You didn't care about the surprised expressions of the two of them, and went into the study again.

Fan Yang Lu's abnormal performance made him urgently need to review those letters now.

He thought these letters seemed normal before, but now, he has a new understanding.

Although Li You was eager to understand the true intention of these letters, he was not in a hurry about the West Turkic Grassland.

Now the people from the household department have just set off, and there will be no risk before entering the Turkic grassland.

Once they entered the Turkic Grassland, with Hexi Wei by their side, coupled with their own strategies, if someone really wanted to make trouble, then Hubu and Hexi Wei could stand on the court's righteousness and teach them a profound lesson.

And in Li You's view, even if these aristocratic families really wanted to do something, they wouldn't act directly when the household department just started.

As the saying goes, thieves don't go empty-handed, and a real master will wait until the Ministry of Finance has almost exchanged the gold and silver from the Western Turks before doing it.

According to Li You's estimate, this time difference will take at least half a year.

And those who prevented the Ministry of Accounts from completing the currency exchange must undoubtedly be some small characters.

You must know the high efficiency of Liu Ji leading the household department, even if you don't prepare in advance, two days are enough from preparation to departure.

The reason why he set off one day late was because Li You made extra preparations.

After everything was ready, Li You reckoned that this time he could rest for more than half a year.

However, just as the autumn harvest began, he was called to the palace again.

Li You originally thought it was something important, but he didn't expect that after entering the palace, everyone's faces would be full of joy again.

Li You saluted Li Shimin, and then asked, "I don't know what kind of happy event is there for my father to pass me into the palace?"

Li Shimin chuckled and said, "You'er, you are very incompetent as the Minister of the Household Department."

"This year's harvest is bumper across the country, and the grain output is expected to triple last year's."

"Such important news, you didn't even report it!"

"If Xuanling didn't care about farming and went to the household department to ask, how long are you going to keep this news from me?"

Li Shimin's face was full of smiles, although his words were full of reproaches, but his expression had already betrayed himself.

[Hey, labor and management thought it was something! 】

[Isn't it just a bumper harvest?This is only three times the output, what is there to be happy about. 】

[This year is the first year that the new crops have been promoted, and the new seeds have not been planted in many places yet. 】

[This increase in production is estimated to last for two or three years, and it will not be considered until the whole country uses new seeds. 】

Although Li You didn't take it seriously in his heart, on the surface he seemed a little sincere and fearful.

"Returning to Father, the ministers have been studying the northern grasslands recently, and have neglected the harvest."

"Today, Datang can have the current output, and that is all thanks to the father."

"If it wasn't for my father's efforts to push through the crowd and vigorously promote new crops, I would definitely not have achieved such results."

Although he was shocked by Li You's voice that the grain production had increased by leaps and bounds for two or three consecutive years, Li Shimin accepted all the compliments from Li You.

He chuckled and said, "You'er, aren't you just praising yourself? Aren't these new seeds all from your Divine Strategy Mansion!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji on the side also added: "This time the grain harvest is bumper, and King Yan has contributed a lot!"

"If it weren't for the young crop bonds and water conservancy bonds issued by King Yan, this year's harvest would have been greatly reduced."

"So, just now we were discussing about granting the title of title to Wang Xiaotong, the head of the securities department. I wonder what King Yan thinks?"

Hearing this, Li You nodded and said, "Of course that's fine. The smooth implementation of the two bonds this time is due to the Lord's contribution."

"It's not just Master Wang, his assistant Li Anren has also been of great help, so we deserve a reward together!"

It is important to know that there is a clear difference between these two bonds and war treasury bonds.

In addition to the corresponding title, the interest rate and repayment period have been agreed upon at the time of issuance.

The calculation of the interest rate and repayment period was completely done by Wang Xiaotong and Li Anren.

It was precisely because of the extraordinary talents of these two people that Li You was able to let go of the securities department so easily.

While talking lively in the imperial study, I heard Duke of Wei Li Jing begging to see him.

After the East Turkic victory this time, Li Jing, who was originally ranked first, was impeached the most.

Among them, the most ferocious attacks came from Song Guogong Xiao Yu and the new Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo.

Wen Yanbo said that he was incapable of running the army. When the Jieli Khan's tooth tent was destroyed, some treasures and cultural relics were looted by the soldiers, and he asked the judicial department to review it.

And Xiao Yu impeached him because Li Jing led troops to conquer the Turks and killed Turkic Jieli Khan's wife, Princess Yicheng of the Sui royal family.

Princess Yicheng took good care of Xiao Yu's sister, the former Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty, during her stay in the grassland. For this reason, Empress Xiao was grateful for her kindness and grieved endlessly.

Xiao Yu and Empress Xiao are siblings, and they are even more merciless towards Li Jing's mistakes in this battle.

Li Shimin originally planned to take this opportunity to beat Li Jing, but he remembered the way of balance in Li You's mind at that time.

In the end, Li Shimin resolutely pardoned Li Jing for his incompetence in governing the army. At the same time, he issued an imperial edict to grant Li Jing the title of Dr. Zuo Guanglu, grant him a thousand pieces of silk, and increase the number of households in Shiyi to [-].

While Li Jing was grateful, he also worked harder.

No, after hearing the news of the bumper harvest, they came directly to ask for food.

"Your Majesty, after this year's harvest, can the Ministry of War send more grain to the front?"

Speaking of which, although Datang has made extraordinary achievements in foreign wars this year, the consumption of food and grass is also unprecedented.

Although it is still autumn, the temperature in the grassland has begun to drop.

Originally, according to the plan, Datang's army would all return to Guanzhong to recuperate.

But now, the situation has changed, and Li Jing has a new idea for a while.
