Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

If it was possible, Li Shimin hoped that Chengqian could go out for a walk, but unfortunately it was destined to be impossible.

Unlike Qing Que, Cheng Qian's words have no possibility at all. Once they walk out of Chang'an, they will definitely be noticed.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin's complexion couldn't help but become a little complicated, since the last time.

It seems that the relationship between father and son is not as close as before, but the emperor's family is destined not to have too much affection.

"I didn't expect Yafu's academy to help Datang so much."

In addition, Li Shimin couldn't help sighing silently. He didn't take it seriously when he heard that Yafu was running an academy.

If it wasn't for Qingque's reason, I'm afraid he wouldn't pay attention to this academy. In fact, it is not too different from a private school, so naturally it can't attract the attention of this emperor.

Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, Anxuan Gong Academy has begun to gain a certain reputation in the whole world.

If the number of places in the Imperial Examination Academy remains high next year, Li Shimin already seems to see that this academy has become another landscape among scholars.

Chapter 496 The Rich Emperor

Summer passed by in a blink of an eye. Compared with last year's complicated and troubled Tang Dynasty, this year's story is much better.

Even though there were many twists and turns in Annan's affairs, the result was undoubtedly good. Li Shimin successfully harvested a lot of food.

And Annan's money can be said to have filled the national treasury at once. Even Li Shimin had never thought that Annan had so much money.

"If I had known that Annan was so rich, I would have done it long ago."

This is what Li Shimin thought after seeing the string of money numbers.

Annan also has a long history, and there has always been no chaos, so there is naturally a lot of money, not to mention a lot of harvest.

Even if these grains are supplied to the entire Tang Dynasty, it will take a year or two.

If it was Li Shimin before, he might still have some scruples about his face, but under Shu An's guidance, he no longer knows where he was abandoned.

In Shu An's words, this emperor has basically got into the eyes of money.

It has to be said that Li Shimin was undoubtedly described as getting rich overnight, and the ministers in Chang'an naturally couldn't hide this matter.

How much money is in the treasury, this matter is not a secret matter, all of a sudden these people couldn't help but get excited.

Anything about increasing the equipment of the soldiers in the army, and where there is a need for overhaul, was reported to Chang'an right away.

It can be said that every memorial is short of asking for money. In the end, these make-ups all reached Li Shimin's desk.

"Who leaked this news?"

Li Shimin's face was livid and he said, even if some people knew about it, it would be impossible so quickly.

At least let him react, but it's only been a while, and even Jiangnan's memorial has already arrived in Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, there are too many people involved in this matter, and it is simply unrealistic to try to find out."

A wry smile appeared on Li Junxian's face and he said, before this His Majesty also thought that Annan's land was small and he should not have much money.

So this matter was spread out like this, which led to the current result.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and calmed down to watch the memorial in front of him.

If there is reason and evidence, then it must be approved, but if it is unreasonable, it will naturally not be approved.

Li Shimin even decided to ask Baiqi to investigate these people carefully, whether they have nothing to do all day long.

.......

Since this matter can't be hidden from some ministers, then naturally it can't be hidden from Shu An either.

"Happy troubles."

Shu An couldn't help but said with emotion, according to his information, this time Annan earned at least 300 million yuan for Li Shimin.

The money that Datang can save in a year is only a few hundred thousand guan, and these 300 million guan are equivalent to the output value of several years.

It's right that Li Shimin is mad because of his displeasure, even Shu An couldn't help but sigh with emotion, fearing that Li Shimin would take the initiative to go to war if he didn't say anything.

Interests touch people's hearts, and this is never an exception.

Even those ministers are no exception. Under the absolute interests, some ambitions that should not be born will naturally arise.

Unknowingly, the academy also became deserted, and the students all started their own journeys.

But Shu An is in a good mood, the reason is as simple as yours, that is, the number of visits to Xiu Ning Academy has obviously increased a lot.

After the students left, Xiu Ning was obviously less restrained.

Of course, with such a disciple accompanying him, Shu An was naturally very happy.

You should know that Xiu Ning only comes once every ten days or even a month in normal times.

Shu An is still very satisfied with his current life, and occasionally studies gunpowder and the like.

At other times, I play chess and so on with my apprentices, and my life is very comfortable.

But this summer is destined to be over soon, and life is about to get back on track again.

Autumn is coming. If we calculate the time, Cheng Chuliang and the others should have arrived in Annan.

After all, they must stop and go along the way, it is impossible to be like a messenger.

"Cotton should be about to mature, and the time for autumn is also approaching. It seems that there are still many things to do in this autumn."

Shu An thought silently, there are still many things in autumn that deserve his attention.

Among them, cotton is the first one. At the beginning, Li Shimin took half of the seeds, but he didn't know how to plant them.

On the contrary, he has people watching the cotton he grows all the time, but because he is not in Chang'an.

I haven't seen Shu An specifically, but listening to the guard's words, he should look pretty good.

In any case, he also said some important points for attention, as for Qiu Wei's words.

That is, many people from the academy participated in it, and Shu An also wanted to know whether Qiu Wei's words could win the championship this time.

If the examination of juren is limited to Daozhou dialect, then Qiuwei's path to Jinshi is a stage for fame all over the world.

The person who won the championship last year also received a lot of praise, and Li Shimin also needs an example.

In the end, it led to this person's smooth journey. It can be said that even the luck can't stop it.

This is naturally seen by the whole world, and I don't know how many scholars are envious and jealous.

It's a pity that Shu'an didn't pay much attention last year because no students participated.

On the contrary, there are a lot of expectations for this year, and I hope that the contestants with their own academy can win the leader position in one fell swoop.

........

Just as Shu An's thoughts were racing, Wang Xuance, who was in the city of Annan, showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Even he didn't expect that Yu Qiu'er would come here, and even if he didn't like it, he would personally marry her.

"Brother Wang, Miss Qiu'er is in your hands."

Cheng Chuliang joked on the sidelines and said, obviously, he has become acquainted with Yu Qiuer and others along the way.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the affection of the academy, and they dare not disobey the dean's order.

"Thank you all."

Wang Xuance blushed a little and said, obviously he was also embarrassed.

Knowing that the imperial decree about his arrangement had already arrived, Wang Xuance was very helpless at first.

Originally, he planned to get married after returning to Chang'an, but unfortunately Wang Xuance did not dare to resist the order.

Moreover, His Majesty treats him well. You must know that among Annan, he is basically one of the top figures.

Not to mention controlling the real power, even other people have to be afraid of three points.

He also heard the news about Chang'an from the messenger, and was quite moved by His Majesty's actions.

In the past, he was just a child from a poor family, so he still chose to seize this opportunity amidst the entanglement in his heart.

Fortunately, it was Annan's initial decision, and there were many things to do. Soon Wang Xuance got involved, and gradually forgot about the people waiting for him in Chang'an.

Of course, he didn't forget to send the letter back, but he didn't know if he received it. Annan was still too far away from Chang'an.

Chapter 497 Small moves, sharp weapons

After the surprises and reminiscing about the past, Wang Xuance also began to arrange a group trip to Annan.

For this group of second generations from Chang'an, Wang Xuance did not dare to neglect, or the entire Annan did not dare to neglect.

The reason is very simple. Behind this group of people are the top dignitaries on both civil and military sides of the court.

Annan's incident also did not affect Chang'an, and Wang Xuance was surprised that Shu'an didn't know about it, but several guesses emerged in his mind about the disciple's reaction.

"My lord, the price of rice in Chang'an has dropped by another cent."

Laifu's voice sounded beside Shu An, and there was a lot of exclamation in the words, as if lamenting that the common people were not easy.

One point may not make much difference to some of them, but it makes a big difference to these common people.

It may determine how much money they will have in their hands throughout the year, and whether they can eat an extra meal.

"This is also a normal thing. Others don't know Li Shimin's calculations, so how could I not know."

Shu An said softly, don't look at the eyes of many people in Chang'an who were stunned by the huge amount of money, but this emperor is secretly doing some tricks.

If you are more careful, you will find that there are several rice shops in Chang'an.

The prices of these rice shops are a bit lower than those of some rice merchants in Chang'an, and the price reductions are not gradually falling every day.

It can be said that people were tricked unconsciously, and Shu An was sure that Li Shimin did not only do such things in Chang'an.

We must know that compared with Annan's money, this food is the bulk, because food is sustainable.

But if the money is used up, it will be used up. I don’t know how long it will take to accumulate so much money.

But generally speaking, it is still a good thing for ordinary people, at least they will not just try to have enough food and clothing like before.

Lai Fu on the side smiled wryly and said nothing, because he didn't dare to comment on that Majesty.

And the master really dares to say it, but the master is not afraid of this majesty in the world.

"I just don't know when those aristocratic families noticed."

Shu An thought silently, behind those rice merchants were some aristocratic families, of course, besides the aristocratic families, there were also some ministers in the court.

But obviously the position can't reach the top level, otherwise it would definitely not be so stupid.

Similar to Changsun Wuji, who had already abandoned the grain selling industry, anyway, Changsun's family mainly focused on iron smelting.

There is nothing for Changsun Wuji, and the interests of sucrose can completely fill this vacancy.

Shu An doesn't want to see Changsun Wuji because of the previous reasons about Wugou, but to be honest, Changsun Wuji's character can undoubtedly lead to a better life.

Only interests come first, Changsun Wuji is very pure on this point, of course, this important minister in history is not without misjudgment.

Any short-term benefits don't mean much. Of course, Changsun Wuji is still good at present.

Just as Shu An's thoughts were racing, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming, it was a guard.

"My lord, someone made a bed crossbow."

The voice of the guard spoke with a hint of joy. It has been several months since Shu An gave the blueprint, and now there is finally some progress.

"Has the bed crossbow been made? Go and have a look."

Shu An was taken aback for a moment, then said, he still noticed this group of carpenters.

Basically, he was busy testing the bed crossbow from morning to night, even if he asked the guards to give these people a holiday.

Although there was no result before, Shu An did not intend to disturb them.

After all, if it were him, he might not be able to do it in a few years. After all, there are some things that require talent and opportunities.

He didn't expect to give him a big surprise now. After thinking of this, Shu An didn't hesitate.

........

The place where the carpenter made the bed crossbow was no longer the open space before, but a place not far from the academy was rebuilt.

Of course, the choice of distance is equally ingenious, so that the incoming noise will not affect the students.
