Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Not many people knew about the matter in Lizhou. Empress Changsun obviously didn't want to let the news out so early.

As for Shu An's words, he was even more unclear. At this moment, his eyes fell on Zhang Yizhang's vicious face, and there was some doubt on his face.

"I don't know what's the matter with Zhijie?"

Shu An was the first to speak out, and he and Cheng Yaojin were not very familiar with each other.

But instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, Cheng Yaojin still had a lot of support for Xue Rengui before, so he couldn't refuse this side no matter what.

And after Shu An's voice fell, Cheng Yaojin's complexion rarely showed a hint of embarrassment.

If someone is here, they will definitely find that they will definitely recognize Cheng Yaojin at this time, as if he was a different person.

Of course Cheng Yaojin is not a fool. On the one hand, An Xuangong has no conflict with him, and on the other hand, his son is still in the academy.

For Cheng Chuliang's changes, Cheng Yaojin also saw in his eyes, and wished to send his eldest son to the academy, but it was a bit late.

Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin is also smart, although the academy has no chance, but the new army has a lot of opportunities.

Before that, he had sent himself Cheng Chumo to this new army. Of course, there were many factors that prompted Cheng Yaojin to do this.

On the one hand, seeing that Xue Rengui has made such great achievements before he was a teenager, his heart is also complicated.

In addition, I saw that the second son has changed. Although it is not an academy, Xue Rengui was also taught by An Xuangong.

In addition to battlefield experience, Cheng Yaojin can be said to be inferior to himself in other aspects. It is under such circumstances that he also has a lot of expectations for Xue Rengui.

Of course, this was the reason why he was being polite to Duke Anxuan. As for coming here today, it was nothing to do, but something to ask for.

Shu An on the other side looked at Cheng Yaojin's troubled expression, but he smiled quite a bit.

After all, it is rare for him to see Cheng Yaojin like this. Although the evaluation of Cheng Yaojin in later generations is not very good, many of them are even more teasing.

But Cheng Yaojin above the history is an existence of great wisdom and ignorance. You must know that Cheng Yaojin is one of the longest-lived people in Lingyan Pavilion.

"Mr. Anxuan, Zhijie has something to ask for."

After a long time, Cheng Yaojin finally spoke out, because of his age, Shu An's seniority was higher than Cheng Yaojin's.

So it is only natural that Mr. Anxuan called Cheng Yaojin. If you count it, there are not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can compare with Shu An's seniority, except for a few people left.

Then Cheng Yaojin slowly explained the matter, but Shu An's expression became more and more weird.

It turned out that this incident was related to the locust incident a month or two ago. You must know that Shu'an's acquisition of locusts caused a lot of sensation.

Among them, the story about locusts being able to strengthen the human body naturally spread, and locusts also entered the ranks under Li Shimin's instigation.

It doesn't matter if you eat it, stir-fry the locusts a little, add a little salt, it can be said to be as delicious as fish and shrimp, and it can be said to be a delicacy for soldiers of this era.

From the awe of the locust god to the displeased scene of no locusts, it can be said that these soldiers have no awe of locusts.

Of course, there is Li Shimin as an example. After all, even His Majesty has eaten, so what else is there to be afraid of.

It is precisely this kind of herd heart that in less than two months, the locusts purchased before can be said to be exhausted.

Of course, after the exhaustion, these soldiers are naturally not happy, and this worries Cheng Yaojin.

Without going through the process of biting gold, he can naturally feel that these soldiers have become much stronger within two months, which means that the locusts are indeed good.

So Cheng Yaojin didn't know how he knew that there were still a lot of locusts here, so he wanted to buy them.

Don't shake your head even if Shu An heard about it for the first time, even he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

In the beginning, he was just using Sun Simiao's reputation to publicize, but he didn't expect that the locusts were not enough to eat.

"Are all foodies genetic?"

Shu An thought silently in his heart, in fact, it's not that foodies in later generations are powerful, but that foodies existed long before.

Fortunately, Shu An didn't think too much, instead, his face revealed a hint of thought. In fact, because of the reason for buying locusts in the first place, he also kept a lot of locusts.

Although there is an extra dish of locusts in the sky, in fact, not many locusts are consumed.

After all, things like locusts may have let go of their awe for those wealthy people, but it is not that simple to change.

Unlike these soldiers, there are not many choices, so the consumption of locusts is not too much, not to mention that he used the ice cellar to hoard a lot of locusts.

"There is not much trouble in this matter, but Zhijie also knows that it is just a drop in the bucket."

A smile appeared on Shu An's face, and he said, there is a saying in later generations that no matter how hard it is, education cannot be poor, and there is no need to say more about education in this era.

Of course, according to Shu An's understanding, these soldiers are the ones who can't be poor in this era. You must know how to make people work for you if you don't even have enough to eat.

After Shu An's words fell, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face. He felt settled in the first half of the sentence, but he felt a little helpless in the second half of the sentence.

Naturally, he also knows this truth, but where do so many locusts come from, and who can say for sure about natural disasters.

After thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help being taken aback, it seemed that this Duke Anxuan in front of him was predicting the secret.

"I don't know if Duke Anxuan has any opinions?"

However, Cheng Yaojin still asked aloud, with a trace of respect in his words, one must know that above the position of Duke, one person is basically below one person and above ten thousand people.

Such a posture would be different if it were another person, but this person is Cheng Yaojin.

Even Shu An couldn't help sighing inwardly, it was not without reason that Cheng Yaojin was able to end his life above history.

As for the fights in normal times, in Shu An's view, there are some harmless ones, after all, people with flaws are easy to rest assured.

"You might as well start with Shimin for knowledge."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said slowly, you must know that Li Shimin has gained a lot recently, and with some benefits, it can be said that he has eaten a lot.

Now it's time to vomit some blood. Although it is necessary to train an elite soldier, ordinary soldiers cannot be ignored. After all, the number is still very important in this era.

Chapter 298 verification, time lapse

After Shu An told the method, he also said some things that Cheng Yaojin didn't know before, for example, the food in Chang'an belonged to His Majesty.

There was a lot of noise in Chang'an about the food issue before, even now it hasn't subsided, and Li Shimin doesn't seem to have any plans to speak out.

It seemed that he was planning to make a fortune in silence, but Shu An also caused some troubles for the emperor.

Of course, although he caused some trouble for Li Shimin, he mainly wanted Li Shimin to pay for it.

Although it seems that there are some poor soldiers and military forces in this era, in Shu An's view, this is not a problem.

After all, special treatment is given during special times. There are so many alien races around the Tang Dynasty, and they also have a lot of ambitions. If they do not develop military power, the entire Tang Dynasty may fall into chaos again.

After Cheng Yaojin heard Shu An's words, his eyes seemed to be a little red. Although many people guessed that His Majesty must have made a lot of money before.

However, he didn't expect to earn so much. Sure enough, Cheng Yaojin left in a hurry after ordering the locusts in Shu'an's inventory.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's leaving figure, Shu An couldn't help showing a smile, this kind of life seems to be pretty good.

He didn't need to think too much about it. Although he wanted to see the changes in Datang, he wasn't in a hurry.

After all, he still has a lot of time, and he can still see the prosperity of Zhenguan coming.

This is enough, although after Zhenguan there will be a prosperous age of Kaiyuan, but in Shu An's view, the prosperous age of Kaiyuan is not worthy of the name.

After all, if there is no basis for the rule of Zhenguan, how can there be a prosperous Kaiyuan? Tang Xuanzong is not a wise emperor.

Of course, there is also a reason that Li Shimin passed away too early, at the age of only 51, if he could give 20 more years, then it would be impossible to create a prosperous age of Zhenguan.

These thoughts were just in Shu An's mind, and he didn't get too entangled afterwards.

He is not a royal family, nor is he an important minister in the court, so how to worry about these things.

"Master, the princess is here again!"

At this moment, Lai Fu's voice sounded, and there seemed to be a hint of emotion in the words, but Shu An didn't notice it.

After hearing the news of Pingyang's arrival, there was a lot of joy on Shu An's face, which he could also feel.

Since Pingyang entered the palace, he seems to be much happier, and it is said that he will stay in Chang'an.

Shu An was naturally happy, after all he still thought that this disciple should not go to the bitter cold place in Liaodong.

There are still many generals in this era, and it is not the last year of Zhenguan, when there are no generals available, so it is not possible to let a woman guard the gate of the country.

While Shu An was living a peaceful and leisurely life, Li Tai took a deep breath, because he had been giving lectures in Zheng County for several days.

Finally, when it was time to leave, the academy had designated an area, and logically speaking, as long as they gave lectures in Zheng County, the task would be considered complete.

However, because he had seen many villages along the way, he naturally wanted to visit the villages near Zheng County.

He knew that not everyone in Zheng County could know even if he was giving lectures during this period of time.

For example, in those remote places, you should know that there is already a certain distance from Chang'an. Li Tai also took a look to see if these people were the same as those near Chang'an.

Grandpa Shu once gave lectures to him. The development of different places is different, which leads to the difference in the level of the people in each place.

Li Tai has always kept this in mind, and when he leaves Chang'an this time, he naturally wants to take a look and verify what Grandpa An said.

Before him, he thought that the common people were the common people, so could there be any difference?

But after contacting many villages, Li Tai fell silent.

Grandpa Shu once said that different methods should be used to treat different people, but he didn't take it seriously at that time.

After all, although Grandpa An is talented, it doesn't mean he has any talent for governing the country.

And he doesn't think that his father and those ministers have a problem with this matter.

However, as Li Tai walked all the way, he seemed to be more inclined to Grandpa An's words in his heart.

"Yes, Master!"

The guards naturally agreed, without any obstruction, as long as Li Tai returned to Chang'an within the specified time, that would be enough.

In addition to Li Tai, there are also many students who have gained a lot of verification along the way.

.......

Time also passed day by day, and the teaching tasks of these students were also completed one by one.

Because of their experience, every student's complexion lost a lot of childishness, and instead became more calm.

Of course, great changes have also taken place in Chang'an at the same time, the biggest change being the price of rice.

The reason is very simple. Although the grain trucks entered Chang'an, they did not see any action from His Majesty.

Naturally, these grain merchants also learned about where His Majesty's grain was going to be used from various channels.

It is above the elite soldier before, so it is not as rumored before.

At the moment the news was confirmed, the price of rice in Chang'an had risen a lot.

However, due to the previous news from Lingnan, the price of these rice did not rise to a high level.

After all, the news of cheap food in Lingnan spread throughout Chang'an, and it has been confirmed.

As early as before, these grain merchants let people enter Lingnan, just for cheap grain.

But after all, it still rose a lot, and the faces of those who didn't buy food before were very ugly.

Because of their greed, they hoped that the price of rice would be lower.

However, because of greed, they missed the best opportunity. Although the price of rice is more conscientious than before, these people seem to have lost something.

As for Laifu of the Shu residence at this time, there was a hint of joy on his face.

Although his master doesn't care about money, but for the future of Shu Mansion, Lai Fu knows that money is indispensable.

In addition, the expenses of these guards are all paid by the Shu Mansion, as well as the intelligence network that maintains the secret Chang'an.

All of these require money, and every time my master cedes the benefits, although Lai Fu doesn't have much emotion on his face, his heart is full of pain.

So Laifu would not let this opportunity pass by. Counting how much grain he bought secretly, the smile on Laifu's face became stronger and stronger.

Some people in Chang'an were thankful that someone had an ugly complexion, but none of them could compare to the gloomy complexion of Li Shimin in the court at this time.

Especially thinking of a ferocious face, Li Shimin gritted his teeth in his heart.

Chapter 299 One Thing Moves the Whole Body

Li Shimin will never forget this face before, holding his leg in mourning, just for the food expenses of the soldiers.

If there is anyone in Chang'an who doesn't care about face, then it must be Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong. If Li Shimin is to pay, Cheng Yaojin will naturally abandon the so-called face.

"Your Majesty, you can't favor one person over another."

"These soldiers followed you all the way to fight north and south."
