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

Chapter 7 The Poor Man, The Great Tang Prime Minister

"Wuji, Ruhui, the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven is illusory, and doing it is just some useless work that wastes money and people."

"Xuanling, you don't have to work too hard, Hebei's aristocratic family."

When the three counselors heard what Li Shimin said, their hearts skipped a beat.

"I'm down-to-earth, I don't engage in such nonsense, and I don't extravagantly ask for help from others."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the civil and military ministers were in an uproar.

What's the matter with the emperor today? If he is so stubborn, isn't he afraid that these counselors will be dissatisfied?

Cheng Yaojin didn't understand, and quietly asked Qin Qiong beside him: "Second brother, what happened to the emperor today? Didn't you have enough to eat tonight?"

Qin Qiong didn't know what to say for a while, but just gave him a look and told him to shut up.

Now that Luo Yi's matter has not been resolved, Qin Qiong doesn't want to go into the muddy water of these civil servants at all.

Among the people Cheng Yaojin was most afraid of was Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong shut his mouth immediately after being stared at by Qin Qiong.

"Your Majesty, a man can bend and stretch. For the people of the Tang Dynasty, the minister is not afraid of hardship!"

Fang Xuanling said.

In his opinion, Li Shimin is not afraid of his hard work, but afraid of losing face.

This face is not only Fang Xuanling's face, but also his Li Tang royal family's face.

"Xuanling, I know you can suffer, but this time, you really don't need to suffer."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"

This time Fang Xuanling really had nothing to say.

He even had a trace of regret that he shouldn't have made such a move just now.

This time Fang Xuanling's displeasure was fully exposed, and it was quite provocative.

It stands to reason that Fang Xuanling also knew that he shouldn't be fighting against Li Shimin, but now that he is in charge, he can't control so much.

On the other hand, Li Shimin was not only not angry, but he also felt that Fang Xuanling was an excellent supporter.

Only when these two sing together can they reflect his excellence.

"Cough cough."

Li Shimin cleared his throat.

"I thought we would organize manpower to go to Hebei at this time to ensure spring sowing!"

As soon as this remark came out, the court exploded again.

Several civil servants looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt that what Li Shimin said was too unbelievable, and it was completely unrealistic fantasy.

Especially Fang Xuanling, who laughed out of anger.

"Your Majesty, do you know how many fields in Hebei are not near the river, and the spring sowing can be done by carrying water alone, not to mention whether there is so much manpower. Even if there is, we can't afford so many peasants!"

Cheng Yaojin also said in a low voice: "Second brother, although I don't like these civil servants, the old Fang is right this time. Why don't you think His Majesty doesn't understand? Is it true that you didn't have enough to eat at night?"

"Your Majesty is indeed a little strange today."

Qin Qiong also shook his head slightly, thinking of Li Shimin's attitude towards Luo Yi just now, he was also puzzled at the moment.

It stands to reason that although Li Shimin is not in charge of people's livelihood, he still has common sense.

If the drought can really be solved by relying on manpower, then this natural disaster will not be terrible at all.

Looking at the ministers with different expressions, Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction.

This is what he wants.

"Xuanling, be safe and don't be impatient. I didn't say I want these peasants to carry water. What I want you to organize are craftsmen."

Afterwards, Li Shimin shared what he had heard from Li You about the bamboo tube waterwheel and his own understanding of the design drawings.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Manchu civil and military officials were shocked.

"Without manpower, low water and high transportation can be achieved!"

"Continuous water flow, continuous irrigation!"

For a moment, Fang Xuanling froze in place.

"It turns out that Your Majesty has this artifact for a long time. Just now I felt that I sacrificed my face for Datang, but I didn't know that the clown was myself in the end!"

"Your Majesty is quick-witted, and this bamboo waterwheel is even more ingenious. It is a miracle to relieve severe drought!"

Fang Xuanling was stunned, but the others did not, and they all began to admire.

After enjoying it for a while, Li Shimin thought about Luo Yi again.

Now, although Li You's words have almost come true, the matter of Luo Yi still has a lot to do with it.

After some consideration, Li Shimin asked Li Jing to assemble the troops first, and he needed to go to Li You to confirm this matter.

"Okay, let's do this for today's matter first, you all go down and get ready, ready to go at any time."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned and left the Palace of Qinzheng.

After leaving the Hall of Qinzheng, Li Shimin was going to ask Li You for clarification immediately.

But then, he looked at the sky again.

It was dusk when he came out from Concubine Yin just now, after discussing with the officials, it is almost midnight now, no matter who it is, everyone should be asleep at this time.

Thinking of Li You's sharp complaint, Li Shimin carefully chose to give up.

He didn't want to bear the resentment that disturbed people's dreams.

'Anyway, it is not a matter of a day or two to start the army, so let's go to him tomorrow and ask him clearly. '

In fact, at this time, Li You was still not asleep.

He lay on the bed, thinking about today's sign-in rewards.

Although the system's sign-in rewards are different every day, after a few months, Li You has also found some patterns.

That is, the more good deeds you do, the more people you help at one time, and the more rewards you get.

For example, the reward for helping those who have no money to buy medicine is better than throwing the money to a beggar on the side of the road.

Li You once tried putting money into a beggar's bowl, but he only got ten lollipops that day.

But today, it was also a gift of money, but his sign-in reward was a rare physical enhancement.

[The system says that the person I helped was called Ma Zhou, could it be that Ma Zhou...]

It is extremely common to have the same name and surname. Among the tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that there were five hundred if not one thousand people called Ma Zhou.

But Ma Zhou was the only one Li You remembered.

This Ma Zhou was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty that Li Shimin admired and liked the most, and he was also the only prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who came from a poor family.

Li You had a deep impression on this person, but he never expected to meet him at this time.

【Looks like I have to go to him tomorrow to see if there is anything he can do to help. A little money can strengthen my body today. I really don’t know what surprises there will be tomorrow! 】

With the feeling that tomorrow will be better, Li You fell asleep.

The next day, Li You woke up early, hurried out after breakfast, and planned to go to Dongshi for another stay.

"My lord, Concubine Yin told me yesterday that you have to go to the Chongwen Museum today to listen to the lectures of the Great Confucianism!"

Xiao Ying suddenly appeared and blocked Li You's way.

"Those great Confucian scholars didn't tell me. The crown prince and the king of Shu just listened to it. Why should I just make up for it?"

While speaking, Li You quickened his pace and turned away from Xiao Ying.

His body has been systematically strengthened many times, and now his speed is astonishing.

However, just after he avoided Sakura's body, he felt someone grabbed his collar.

"My lord, don't run away, it's useless!"
