In the early dynasty, in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Report to His Majesty, the minister has this instruction"

Li Shimin squinted at him. This person is Lu Xinde, the young supervisor of the Dushui Supervisor. Could it be that the Yellow River is still flooded in this cold winter?
"Preliminary"

Lu Xinde stepped forward and knelt down under the dragon platform, with an angry look on his face, a look of bitterness and hatred.

"Your Majesty, please capture Zheng Renjing in Chang'an, and return me to the Great Tang Dynasty."

Um?Li Shimin felt that his ears were wrong. The Lu family and the Zheng family had conflicts, but these days they were all based on the affairs in the court, so why did it involve Zheng Renjing today.

"I have heard a little about this person. This Zheng Renjing doesn't seem to be a treacherous person. Why do you want to arrest this person?"

When Lu Xinde heard that His Majesty knew about Zheng Renjing, he immediately began to cry.

"This son is heinous, and he is a hidden danger in the Tang Dynasty. If this son doesn't get rid of Chang'an, all the people will suffer from it!"

"Your Majesty is unaware that this son, relying on his status as a son of the Zheng family in Xingyang, openly purchased land wantonly, causing the people between Chang'an and Jingyang to have no land to grow."

"Then monopolized the food supply in Chang'an to raise prices to make huge profits"

"Yesterday, this son was even more frenzied in fighting rice. At such a price, the people of Tang Dynasty will starve to death!"

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, his face sinking like water. He heard about it. The false mother of Yufeng Tower was rectified by Zheng Renjing. Yesterday he joked with his eldest grandson Wuji as a joke.

Today, it has become a means for courtiers to attack him.

"Keming, is this really the case?"

Li Shimin turned to ask Du Ruhui, but Du Ruhui hadn't seen Zheng Renjing for quite some time, and what he did was just what he had heard.

"Returning to Your Majesty, what Master Lu said is not the whole picture. Now Chang'an Doumi is five yuan, and the price is stable, except for a fake mother in Pingkangfang who offended him, so there is a consistent thing about Doumi."

Du Ruhui answered truthfully, but Lu Xinde was not flustered at all.

"Your Majesty, today you are a fake mother in a brothel, and tomorrow you will be a commoner in Chang'an."

"He monopolizes the lifelines of the people in Chang'an. This is a big deal. Since ancient times, farming has been the most important thing. When someone monopolizes grain and rice, let us be controlled by others!"

"This is really a disaster, please make an order to let him sell the land, or return the grain to the farmers, and never engage in farming and mulberry again."

This is Lu Xinde's main appeal, to let Li Shimin deprive Zheng Renjing of the ability to grow grain. From then on, Datang is still a farmer's grain grower, and the grain price is still controlled by this group of gentry.

"Keming, what do you think of this matter?"

Du Ruhui was a former manager of Zheng Renjing's, so he naturally took a longer view on other people. He also believed that Du Ruhui would be partial to Zheng Renjing.

"I feel that Master Lu's words are reasonable"

Du Ruhui sang against Li Shimin for the first time. He knew that Zheng Renjing had a very close relationship with Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, if the lifeblood of the people of Chang'an is placed in the hands of others, it will be detrimental to the country, and low grain prices will hurt farmers, which will be detrimental to the people."

Li Shimin has something in his heart but can't say it out. Zheng Renjing's vision is to carry the grain of the entire Tang Dynasty by himself. At that time, he will buy grain and rice from Zheng Renjing at a low price, and then transfer it to the whole country for sale. If there is too much, he can store it in a barn in case for need.

Even the supply of food and grass for war is not a problem, and the profit from it can be taken into his own pocket. From Li Shimin's point of view, what Zheng Renjing did did not harm the interests of Datang.

On the contrary, it can allow most people to escape from the circle of farming and develop other industries, which is beneficial to the country and to others.

It's just that this kind of grain collection plan has not yet started, and the courtiers don't know about it.

"Auxiliary machine, what do you think about this matter?"

Changsun Wuji has a good personal relationship with Zheng Renjing, presumably he knows Zheng Renjing better and can say something for him.

"I have a very good personal relationship with Mr. Zheng's family, so it's not appropriate to open your mouth."

"But in my opinion, Mr. Zheng Jialang has no intention of harming the people of Tang Dynasty."

Changsun Wuji directly pointed out that he has a good personal relationship, so as to avoid being attacked in the future, which caused Li Shimin a headache. Is there no one who can intercede for Zheng Renjing at this moment?

"Xuanling, tell me"

Fang Xuanling was silent for a while, and then spoke leisurely.

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Zheng Jialang did is very inappropriate"

Li Shimin gave up completely, he didn't expect Fang Xuanling to say the same, then Zheng Renjing will not have a good life after today.

"Farming, the important weapon of the country, how can it be left in the hands of others"

"However, Mr. Zheng Jialang's talent is unprecedented. It is a great Tang misfortune not to engage in farming and mulberry industry."

Fang Xuanling changed the subject and spoke again

"If Mr. Zheng Jialang is willing to cooperate with His Majesty, and the food price is controlled by His Majesty, it will be beneficial to the country and the people, and this is a great thing."

Li Shimin was overjoyed, he didn't expect that Fang Xuanling would still understand him. Originally, in a few months, when Jingyang's fertile fields had a good harvest, the price of grain in the pass would really be in his hands.

"Not right, your majesty is the son of heaven, how can you compete with the people for profit, this matter cannot be done"

Lu Xinde originally came to make Zheng Renjing lose control of Chang'an's food, but he didn't expect to add fire to him to start a business with the emperor.

If His Majesty cooperates with Zheng Renjing, then with Zheng Renjing's monstrous grain output, they, a group of nobles who own land, can still play a game!

The piles of grain and rice piled up at home can no longer be sold at a price, and if they cooperate with each other, they will not be able to survive.

"This matter is beneficial to the country. In order to protect talents, I will put down my old face and compete with the people for profit once."

This sentence made the Lu family a target of public criticism. Originally, the major families came to attack Zheng Renjing, but unexpectedly gave him a big backer. How will they live in the future?
Now Li Shimin was happy, originally they were colluding with the two in the dark, but now they forced them to show up.

In the future, there is no need to look at the face of the family when there is a shortage of food and short rice. Next year, let them know who is the master of the Great Tang.

After the morning court, Li Shimin hurriedly called Changsun Wuji.

"Auxiliary machine, you go and make arrangements for today's affairs."

In a word, leave it to him, Changsun Wuji put on a bitter face, good things never happened to him!

"Those guys, why haven't they come back yet?"

Changsun Wuji knew in his heart that His Majesty was asking those generals who went to Turkic to rob cattle and sheep. Last time he brought them back with imperial decree.

But Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde did not come back after receiving the imperial edict, which made Li Shimin very angry.

"Perhaps the carriages and horses have slowed down a bit, and we will be back in a few days."

Changsun Wuji didn't believe what he said. With the speed of the god cow, he could return to Chang'an in at most two days. They must have been playing wild in the grassland.

"When I come back, I will take back their sacred cows. It's too disappointing."

At this time, a three-person team on the Turkic grasslands was riding a cow, with a large number of cattle and sheep tied behind them, walking slowly back.

As far as the eye can see, thousands of Turkic soldiers are panting tiredly, and every step of the horse is difficult.

"The Turkic people just can't bear to run, and after taking them for a walk all morning, they are exhausted and out of breath."

"Old Hei, don't you look at what we are, it's a divine cow, how can it be comparable to them?"

The Turks watched the three men slowly disappear in front of them with their cattle and sheep, and they were so tired that they didn't have the strength to chase them at all.

"Assemble the troops for me, I will ask Datang to pay the price"

Jieli Khan hung his cigarette bag and watched the brand-new khan tent turn into ruins again. His anger had already plunged the entire Turks into chaos.

They want to make this group of robbers pay the price.
