Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"I don't know what Yafu means, Shimin did send people to collect food secretly."

Li Shimin said slowly, he didn't hide anything from this sub-father, because presumably this sub-father had also guessed it.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji in the court is most like an old fox.

In fact, Changsun Wuji is not much older than him. To describe it like this is just to say that Changsun Wuji is scheming.

However, Li Shimin wondered whether all of this was due to the succession of the Yafu. If it is said that he is scheming, then no one can surpass this Yafu.

At this moment, Shu An didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, but he couldn't help but nodded when he heard Li Shimin's words.

"There happens to be a batch of grain under the property of the Shu Mansion. I wonder if the people of the world can eat it?"

Shu An said with a flat face, as the so-called exchange, he allowed Li Shimin to take the general share before.

So it doesn't matter if you earn some food here, but buying someone's food is not buying.

Li Shimin's face was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that Yafu would do it for such a small matter, because it was enough to tell Li Junxian about this matter.

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Shu An instantly knew what the emperor was thinking, and he probably underestimated him.

"This batch of grain is a full 20 shi!"

Shu An's voice continued to sound, but it surprised Li Shimin's face.

You must know that these things are worth hundreds of thousands of guan, even if Li Shimin eats them, the treasury will be tight for a while.

"Why is there so much food?"

Li Shimin's eyes were shocked and he whispered softly, with a hint of disbelief in his words.

However, there seemed to be a flash of light in his mind, as if his sub-father had a lot of food when he was helping the disaster.

At that time, Li Shimin and the whole Chang'an were concerned about how long Yafu could last, but even in the end, Yafu still seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help becoming active in his heart. He was a little curious about where his Yafu's food came from.

After all, every rice merchant has its own region of origin, but this Asian father is the only one who has suddenly emerged.

Faced with Li Shimin's astonishment, Shu An's face didn't show any turmoil, the reason is very simple, he didn't intend to hide the situation in Lingnan.

In fact, the food price in Chang'an is indeed high now. With the severe drought in Guan, it can be said that it has affected the whole world.

There was no grain in the Guannei area, and grain was mobilized from other areas. It can be said that this indirectly affected other areas.

Perhaps the change of a penny does not make much difference to a big family, but it is different to an ordinary family.

It was for this reason that Shu An did not hide his idea of ​​cheap food in Lingnan, of course, the premise was that he sold this batch of food.

"The people of the world bought Yafu's grain at the market price, but they didn't know that Yafu had so much grain."

Li Shimin said faintly, although there are a full 20 shi, it is not impossible to eat it.

And he can feel that the border will not be peaceful in the future, and a lot of food is also needed at this time.

If even the soldiers can't get enough to eat, then naturally there is nothing else to say.

Of course, when this question was asked, Li Shimin was mainly curious. After all, there is so much food, which naturally makes people interested.

"You have no jokes!"

It's just that after Li Shimin finished speaking, Shu An's eyes lit up.

Originally, he wanted to sell it to Li Shimin at a lower price because the food was cheap, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to dig a hole for himself, so he was naturally impolite.

Li Shimin was a little stunned, because after hearing what his father said, he couldn't help feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

But his heart quickly calmed down. There was nothing wrong with his previous words, but the only uneasiness was that the old man in front of him seemed to be planning something.

"Shimin will naturally not break his promise!"

No matter how he was thinking in his heart, Li Shimin still vowed to speak out on the surface.

Originally, he was only interested in these grains, but he became more interested in following his father's words.

"I hope you don't go back on your word!"

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said, in fact, he doesn't value money, but sometimes it seems good to add trouble to this emperor.

In particular, this kind of unequal information caused Shu An to have a great sense of superiority.

Seeking a sense of superiority from the young Li Shimin, this kind of thing does not happen very often, Shu An naturally cannot miss the opportunity.

"I have never regretted it!"

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Shu An and he said, this time he used Zhen, which can be said to represent his determination.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Shu An started to chuckle lightly.

The originally stiff atmosphere dissipated with this smile, but before Li Shimin could get annoyed, Shu An's voice sounded again.

"These grains come from Lingnan!"

When the voice fell, Li Shimin's face was stunned. He had thought about many regions and many Daozhous, but he had never thought that these came from Lingnan.

Of course, he also thought of Feng An in Lingnan, and Feng An sent his son to Chang'an last year, but Li Shimin didn't get too entangled in this point.

"Lingnan is far away from Chang'an, how can we spend so much effort to transport it to Chang'an?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, showing a trace of disbelief, and he asked aloud, knowing that the farther the place is, the higher the cost will naturally be, and he is naturally clear about this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have communicated with these rice merchants, just to buy their food.

"Wait, unless!"

However, Li Shimin was an emperor after all, so he quickly calmed down, unless the original cost of food was very low.

And Shu An on the other side saw that Li Shimin seemed to have some understanding, and the smile on his face became stronger.

"The land in Lingnan is hot, so there are two or even three crops a year. Food is nothing to Lingnan, even if there are years of wars."

"These grains all come from Lingnan, and a bucket of rice only costs more than two pennies."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, but every word made Li Shimin fall into consternation.

According to many people's understanding, Lingnan is regarded as a poor country, but today he seems to feel that his thinking is a little wrong.

It's just that Li Shimin soon thought of what he said before. According to the market price, the 20 shimi would at least bring Shu An more than three times the profit. For a while, the emperor was heartbroken.

2Chapter 16 The Empress Doubt

One stone is equal to ten buckets. Li Shimin still understands these simple algorithms, and his own father's profit from this is enough to exceed one million guan.

And it all came out of his mouth, even Li Shimin didn't know how he got out of the academy.

Because Yafu's profits are all taken out of his pocket, it can be imagined that Li Shimin's heart is not so beautiful at this time.

Li Junxian immediately discovered something wrong with this emperor, and he seemed to be in a strange state.

As if he had suffered some serious blow, Li Junxian couldn't help muttering in his heart, how could this be possible, and how could His Majesty have received such a severe blow.

It's just that the fact is that, even after returning to the palace, Li Shimin's state is still a little bit wrong.

Locked in the imperial study room by himself, it is obvious that his heart has not recovered yet, but this is because of the heartache.

It can be said that Li Shimin is the only master in the palace, and naturally he has attracted the attention of many concubines, and if there is any disturbance, they will receive the news.

Many concubines took this opportunity to come and see His Majesty, but they were all turned away by Li Shimin. Obviously Li Shimin was in a very bad mood at this time.

You must know that this amount of money is the balance of the national treasury and the income from the city tax in the previous year, although the night market also has a lot of income in the account.

It's just that the effect is not so fast, so Li Shimin's heart is naturally aching.

"How is Your Majesty?"

The figure of Empress Changsun appeared outside the imperial study room and spoke slowly, with a trace of irresistible majesty in her words.

"Meet the Empress!"

"It's like this after His Majesty came back from the palace."

Wang De's complexion showed a trace of restraint and respect when he spoke, without daring to show any disrespect.

But at this moment, the eunuch also breathed a sigh of relief, because the arrival of the empress empress meant that His Majesty should be fine.

If there is anyone in the palace who can influence His Majesty, then it must be the empress.

"Outside the palace?"

Empress Changsun frowned slightly. When he heard that something seemed to happen to His Majesty, he didn't think about coming over immediately.

However, because Empress Changsun was pregnant, she was the last one to arrive. After all, if things were not accurate, no one would bother this empress.

But after several concubines interrupted, it seemed that there was something wrong with His Majesty, so he was sure, and naturally disturbed Empress Changsun.

The first thing Empress Changsun thought of was the previous matter, which was about the Cuju industry, and soon she thought that Her Majesty might have returned from Yafu.

"Could it be that your majesty was rejected by Yafu?"

Empress Changsun couldn't help thinking silently, after all, it is very likely that His Majesty will occupy a larger share, and then be rejected by Yafu, then it is logical.

It's just that even if it's not normal to be rejected by Yafu, it stands to reason that His Majesty would not be like this.

After thinking of this, I couldn't figure it out, so Empress Changsun didn't want to think about it either, so I just asked His Majesty if it was clear.

If these concubines had a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to force their way into the imperial study, but Empress Changsun was an exception.

Even the eunuch guarding the gate didn't dare to stop him, but Li Shimin seemed to be in a trance at this time, and didn't notice the twists and turns on this side.

However, Empress Changsun still had a sense of propriety, and entered the imperial study room by herself.

"His Majesty!"

Empress Changsun's soft words gradually brought the emperor back to his senses.

"Guanyin servant girl, you are here!"

At this time, Li Shimin's expression was complicated and he spoke slowly, with a hint of emotion in his words.

"I don't know what's on your majesty's mind, can you talk to my concubine?"

Empress Changsun came to Li Shimin's side and spoke slowly, with a trace of helplessness in her words. You must know that she is the least interested in these things in normal times.

This is a woman who should be honorable by birth, and she has never experienced any setbacks in her life.

Not to mention the existence of Shu An in this life, and she doesn't care about other problems. It is precisely this kind of problem. For other things, Li Shimin or Yafu will naturally solve them. She just needs to live a good life.

Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged, but at this moment, he really needed to talk to someone close to him, otherwise his mood must have been depressed.

You must know that this incident can be said to be somewhat disgraceful to Li Shimin, after all, it can be said that Junwu jokes cannot be shaken off.

"Ugh!"

Li Shimin first sighed, this sigh contained a lot of atmosphere, and then slowly said the whole thing.

This couldn't help but make Empress Changsun look strange, because she thought that His Majesty was entangled in Cuju.

I didn't expect it to be another matter, but after hearing the whole story, Empress Changsun's expression was also a little dumbfounded.

Because this incident reminded her of a word her father taught her, that is to die.

It was for this reason that she fell silent. My Yafu didn't make too many mistakes in this matter.

And even she didn't expect the price of food in Lingnan to be so low, so she could only sigh in the end.

Sure enough, Yafu had never worried about money. For example, during the last disaster relief, many people thought that Yafu had exhausted his family wealth.

Even Empress Changsun thought the same way, but now she realized that she seemed to be thinking too much.

Presumably, Yafu not only didn't lose money last time, but probably made a lot of money. Thinking of this, Empress Changsun didn't know whether to be happy or mourn.

Because His Majesty at this time is like a child, and he can't break his promise if he wants to. After all, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

But for no reason to let Yafu earn millions of dollars in profits, even Li Shimin was not reconciled.

If you want to know that this million is a fraction of the annual tax, it is not a small amount.

The key point is that if you don't know about Lingnan, it's fine. If you know, it will be unbalanced. At this time, Empress Changsun has already guessed her sub-father's intentions.

That is to deliberately annoy this His Majesty. For a while, Empress Sun didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, how about this concubine going to talk to Yafu about this matter."

In the end, Empress Changsun gritted her teeth and said, if she said what she said last time, Yafu would not embarrass His Majesty.

As for Li Shimin on the side, he couldn't help being moved when he saw the tangled Guanyin maidservant, but this matter must not let the Guanyin maidservant take action.
