Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

And it was precisely because of this reason that the front of the Shu residence became more and more cold. Of course, Shu An didn't care about it.

"Tread, step!"

Just as Li Shimin was about to turn around and leave, the sound of a horse's hoof sounded, and a carriage was approaching not far away.

Chapter 542 Encounter, New Pursuit

"Xiu Ning?"

A soft murmur sounded, and Li Shimin looked at the figure walking down from the carriage with some astonishment on his face.

As if hearing this voice, Li Xiuning turned around and saw Li Shimin as well.

In an instant, there seemed to be an illusion of silence in the air. The brother and sister probably didn't expect to meet at this time.

Although the relationship has eased a lot due to time, Li Xiuning still sees her nephews more often, but she is a little indifferent towards this second brother.

"Since you're here, the teacher just returned to Chang'an today."

A quiet voice sounded, breaking the peace, and then a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.

For some reason, listening to the words of this younger sister, Li Shimin felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

Although not as close as before, the girl who surrounded him and called her second brother had become a big girl now.

But no matter how it changes, this is her own sister born to the same father and mother.

Now Li Shimin doesn't mind his sister's pursuit anymore, or let her go.

It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but I can't take care of it. Unfortunately, this younger sister seems to be a little frustrated.

Taboo is not so easy to touch.

His thoughts disappeared in a flash, Li Shimin immediately came back to his senses, and also secretly glanced at Li Junxian who was in the dark.

Yafu actually returned to Chang'an, why didn't anyone inform him, otherwise he would definitely come to discuss it.

At this time, Li Junxian in the dark also began to show his figure, with an embarrassing and bitter smile on his face.

Why is An Xuangong so elusive? Because the academy cannot enter, and An Xuangong has no intention of leaving the farm at all.

In addition, there was a shortage of manpower for a period of time, so Li Junxian just asked Baiqi to guard at Chang'anmen to keep an eye out.

This can reduce a lot of manpower, but the efficiency is naturally a little slow. Up to now, he has not received the news that An Xuangong has entered Chang'an.

In this aspect, he is not as good as this princess. Of course, Li Junxian also knows a little about the princess, so he can only feel ashamed.

But now that he has come to the Shu Mansion, Li Junxian has no idea of ​​hiding his whereabouts, because there is no need for this.

In the end, the pair of brothers and sisters still entered the Shu Mansion together. It happened that Li Shimin also had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't know if this sub-father could solve the doubts.

........

Shu An in the Shu residence showed a bit of astonishment on his face. He was not surprised by Li Xiuning's arrival, but he was somewhat curious about Li Shimin's arrival.

After all, Li Xiuning had a little spy there, and Su Dashan would not hide anything from his sister.

Xiu Ning knew about her whereabouts immediately, but fortunately, Shu An didn't think too much about it, she only thought that Xiu Ning regarded herself as her relative.

But Li Shimin, logically speaking, shouldn't be here now.

But the visitor is a guest, since he is here, Shu An will naturally not drive this emperor out.

"Laifu, bring me some tea."

Shu An's voice sounded, and then several people were asked to sit down, even Li Junxian had his own place.

In this era, the concept of equality for all is doomed to be impossible, but in his eyes the world, or in his eyes, equality for all is still possible.

But among them, Li Xiuning's twinkling beautiful eyes fell into a cage in front of Shu An.

Inside the cage were two stuffed animals that she hadn't seen before. They looked like rabbits, but they weren't.

"Teacher, what is this?"

Li Xiuning didn't hesitate much, and asked directly, her words were very casual.

Li Shimin on the other side also showed a trace of curiosity, obviously very interested in the animals in the cage in front of him.

This Yafu will not do some meaningless things, and this time he just returned to Chang'an, could it be that he came back for this thing.

"This thing is called Bamboo Rat."

Shu An's faint voice sounded. In fact, he had been searched for very early.

It's just that the world is so big, and there are still many deep mountains and old forests, so I didn't get to this thing until not long ago.

"Bamboo rat?"

After the words fell, the two of them couldn't help being stunned, obviously they still knew about the mouse.

However, this seems to be somewhat different from a mouse. For example, it looks like a rabbit, but if you look closely, there are indeed some rats.

Shu An was paying attention to the reactions of the two of them. Among them, Xiu Ning's first reaction was disgust, but seeing the disgust in the eyes of the bamboo rat began to ease.

Sure enough, women are creatures that love beauty, even this third lady who is on the battlefield is the same.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, seemed to be lost in thought, thinking something, but his brows seemed to be wrinkled.

Shu An was not surprised by the expressions of the two, after all, in this era, mice are obviously not welcome.

Some idioms similar to short-sightedness and thieves' eyebrows and mouse eyes can already imply the degree of disgust of mice.

But there are exceptions to everything. For example, in order to save face, people in this era often say that rats patronize.

After all, if there is no rice in the house, then rats will patronize, and over time, rats will come in and steal rice and become a symbol of wealth.

But this bamboo rat may be a relative of the mouse, but there is a big difference between the two.

"Yafu, I don't know what the purpose of this bamboo rat is?"

Among them, Li Shimin was the one who couldn't hold back his curiosity the first to ask.

"I don't know what the people of the world think the people still lack?"

Shu An did not answer Li Shimin's question immediately, but asked aloud.

This question is a bit difficult for Li Shimin. If it was a long time ago, Li Shimin might answer food and clothing, or survive in winter.

However, these problems seem to have been almost resolved now.

As long as a commoner is diligent and hardworking, then these are basically not a problem.

"Teacher, Xiu Ning remembers that you once said that the desire of the people is very simple, that is to sleep well, eat well, and eat well."

Li Shimin hadn't answered yet, but Li Xiuning had already rushed to answer. I have to say that after staying with Shu An for a long time, this third lady has also learned a lot.

After Li Xiuning's words fell, Li Shimin's eyes revealed a gleam, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

"Xiu Ning is right. After you have enough food and clothing, you will naturally want to eat meat."

Shu An nodded appreciatively and said, Li Xiuning was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, it's good to be able to remember this.

In order to improve the physical fitness of Tang people, meat is also indispensable, and the grassland aliens are strong because they graze and eat more meat.

Chapter 543 It's not easy, there must be someone

Reminded by Shu An's words, the emperor finally came to his senses, and a dazed expression appeared on his face.

"There is nothing wrong with that."

Li Shimin's eyes twinkled and he murmured softly, with food and clothing, it is natural to pursue better.

You must know that the people recorded in history have never had such luxury. Perhaps it was in the era of peace and prosperity that there was no problem with food and clothing.

But if you want to eat meat frequently, it is simply impossible. At least Li Shimin thinks it is still feasible.

If the common people could eat meat regularly, then Li Shimin would have surpassed many emperors in the past.

And if you eat more meat, it will also help your body a lot, and you will also be stronger when recruiting soldiers.

But is it really possible to do this? You must know that Datang doesn't have that much meat.

"Yafu, it may not be easy for the common people to eat meat regularly."

Li Shimin's faint voice sounded, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words.

"So I got someone to find this one, along with the usual rabbits."

Shu An's voice also sounded, it would be impossible for ordinary people to raise pigs now.

After all, it is not so extravagant. Even if they have money, ordinary people still save it.

It is almost enough to eat enough food and clothing normally, and the rest is to guarantee that there will be unexpected things.

For example, during the holidays, or in the event of natural or man-made disasters, sometimes a trivial amount of money saved is enough to play a key role.

Of course, it is for this reason that ordinary people cannot afford to raise large animals, at most one or two chickens and ducks.

However, chickens and ducks still have too little meat after all, and the reproduction is also not so fast.

After thinking about it, Shu An still thought that the bamboo rat or the rabbit was more suitable. In fact, the only choice at the beginning was the rabbit.

After all, rabbits are obviously more common, but during a trip, he also saw animals like bamboo rats.

Perhaps it is not well-known in this era, but in later generations, there are many emoticons about bamboo rats.

Many people even started breeding bamboo rats. Naturally, Shu An also had a lot of memories, so he sent someone to bring the bamboo rats.

Specifically, let bamboo rats and rabbits try together to see which animal is more suitable.

Facing this pair of brothers and sisters, Shu An also did not hide his thoughts, and spoke out about this matter.

Ordinary people can still raise some rabbits and bamboo rats, and they don't eat much of these things.

In addition, there is also a lot of meat. If you raise it, you can still keep it for eating during the festivals, or even sell it.

Even Shu An would not dare to think about getting the common people to eat meat regularly, at least for now it is definitely impossible.

But the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time. Although it is impossible now, it is still possible to shorten this time, such as eating once a month.

Perhaps it is a great gift for the common people, and Shu An no matter whether he chooses rabbits or bamboo rats, they are relatively easy animals to breed.

"Yafu has a heart."

After listening to Shu An's words, Li Shimin said with a look of admiration on his face.

Obviously, Yafu must have planned this matter for a long time, even started a long time ago, just to let the people eat meat.

Even Li Shimin couldn't help feeling a little guilty, because after all, he should be the one to do this.

However, he never thought of this. Perhaps subconsciously, this emperor also thought that those common people would have enough food and clothing.

On the other side, Li Xiuning has become a little star in her eyes, obviously admired, and of course there is a trace of unknown emotion mixed in.

"There are some things that have to be done."

Shu An's eyes flickered and said, maybe it was an accident that he came to this era, but he couldn't be ruthless and see life wither.

Even after decades of time, there is no way to deal with the war, but it can be completely avoided because of food.

And after this sentence fell, the entire courtyard of Shu Mansion also began to fall silent.

This emperor was obviously reflecting on himself, because he had also seen pairs of eyes envious of eating meat.

As for Li Xiuning's words, he was thinking about the philosophy behind the teacher's words.

"This matter is not discussed anymore, and it is not easy for the common people to breed."

"I wonder if there is something wrong with Shimin this time?"

After an unknown amount of time, Shu An's voice sounded again, with a trace of helplessness in his words.

It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish, Shu An naturally understands this truth, thinking of letting people breed, it is better to let them see the benefits of farming.

So Shu'an has asked people to start making arrangements to hire the people of the village to help with breeding in the name of Shu's mansion.

It's a beginning, as for whether these people can make a decision next, it depends on the effect of breeding.

Of course, Shu An did not forget the purpose of this emperor who came to Shu Mansion, no matter how he looked at an emperor, he was a person who would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing.

"I do have some questions to ask Yafu."

Li Shimin also woke up from the previous incident and said, he also knows that this matter is not that simple.
