Don't be a prince

Now that Li Dahai has the crown prince's background, he can trade wantonly at the border.Moreover, unlike food and salt, alcohol is not strictly controlled.Some people may be jealous of the prince's gold absorption speed, but without strong alcohol, they can only stare blankly.

The eldest grandson likes to hear his emperor's husband praise his son unabashedly.

As a queen, she is deeply favored by the emperor, and the status of the prince's son is stable. Apart from that, she has no other extravagant wishes.

"But Your Majesty, why did Chengqian hoard grain and dried meat? The market price of grain in the Tang Dynasty is controlled by the imperial court. Even in a catastrophic year, merchants are not allowed to increase the price arbitrarily. Grain does not make money. Since Chengqian can With such a money-making mind, you can’t think of it.” The mobile terminal remembers in a second→.B\\.\provides you with wonderful novels to read.

With a bitter smile, Li Shimin slumped down on the chair and said in a low voice, "If my predictions are correct, Chengqian should be preparing for next year's locust disaster."

"The plague of locusts?"

The eldest grandson was taken aback. A normal locust plague, like this year's, would never make an emperor like her husband feel decadent.Facts have proved that the decisive emperor will never sigh because of some trivial details.And once it comes to the time of depression, it must be something serious enough.

Nodding his head, Li Shimin sighed and said, "This year's locust plague is not big or small. If it's just like this, it's not a big deal. However, the secret report from Sinong Temple said that this year's drought will continue, with little rain and winter With less snow, it is very likely that there will be a larger-scale locust plague next year."

Facts have proved that the officials of the imperial court are not all vegetarians.The locust plague has been one of the greatest disasters in the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is also one of the greatest enemies of agriculture. The officials of Sinong Temple will definitely pay attention to it.

Seeing the emperor's husband slumped, the eldest grandson simply sat on his lap and sighed together.

She knew that what her husband cared about was not the damage caused by the locust plague.Since the year of Wude, the imperial court has been reducing or exempting taxes, and the people have some savings.Although the official warehouse is not full, it should not be a problem to barely cope with a large locust plague.

What he cared about was the locust plague itself.

Since ancient times, people's imagination has been extraordinarily rich. After the saying of "the right of the king is granted by heaven" came out, it certainly consolidated the status of the emperor and surpassed the common people of the Li people.However, at the same time, it also gave birth to the saying that "if the emperor does not cultivate his virtue, disaster will come from heaven".

In the ninth year of Wude, nothing happened, but in the first year of Zhenguan, there was a plague of locusts, and in the second year of Zhenguan, a bigger plague of locusts was about to occur.This will only make the emperor, who is already in the wrong position, suffer more criticism.

Luo Yi's head was paraded in the streets of Chang'an, and the heads of Li Xiaochang and Changsun Anye had also moved.These people can all be chopped off, but some heads are inconvenient to do, such as courtiers.

for example....

Five surnames and seven hopes.

They already had a grudge against the royal family, and they would never let go of this god-given opportunity. This would be a big blow to the imperial power.

Killing people is certainly the quickest solution, but killing people at this time, there is no reason to say it, but it will arouse even greater resistance.

Involuntarily clenched her husband's hand, the only thing the eldest grandson can do now is to accompany her.

She knew how much the emperor's husband had paid for this throne, and she also knew how much he longed for this position back then.

But now that I sit on it, so many things will inevitably happen.

Holding his eldest grandson's hand behind his back, Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, there's no need to be sentimental now. Sinong Temple is just a prediction. If there are a few heavy snowfalls in the next year, the plague of locusts may not rise. It's useless to be sentimental now. Moreover, I have a hunch that if the plague of locusts really breaks out, Cheng Qian might surprise me!"

Tore up the account books casually, Li Shimin chose to turn a blind eye to what Donggong did.

Although the amount of money involved in the East Palace was already large enough to require his father's attention, but as long as his son did not indulge in pleasure and squandering, but did something right, he would not interfere.

Although there is an agreement to "not interfere with the finances of the Eastern Palace", breaking the agreement has always been the prerogative of the parents...

After Li Chengqian's morning exercise as usual, before he finished washing, he saw a person—Ziyan.

To Ziyan, the East Palace is no different from the Palace of Yinyi, and even the registration procedures are omitted.

"His Royal Highness, the servants are here to convey the homely words of the empress."

"Mother? Mother has something to tell you, why don't you come here by yourself?"

Li Chengqian, who was in the bath, was puzzled. Although he didn't live in the palace, his eldest grandson wouldn't be able to walk such a short distance.Although they rarely met each other, when he was in class several times, he found that the door of the study room was pushed open a small crack.Needless to say, the one peeping must be her.

Obviously thinking a lot, but why he didn't show his face.Knowing that she is afraid of meeting the queen and the prince, spreading the news will make people think that the prince is not independent.But it's only natural for the mother to meet her son!

Ziyan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, it's not that the empress refuses to come, it's just that she can't come. Now the empress is four months pregnant, and the imperial doctor won't let her go out of the palace at all."

pregnant?

Li Chengqian calculated that the eldest grandson was about to be pregnant with Li Zhi now.

Lucky boy!If it weren't for a powerful wife, this kid would have become a rare and powerful emperor in history.

"Since the mother is pregnant, she shouldn't move around. Then Ziyan, what does the mother want you to convey?"

Looking at the serious prince, Ziyan almost couldn't hold back her laughter. After holding back for a while, she said: "Your Majesty said that the treasury is tight recently, and the palace needs to reduce expenses. But she is pregnant with a child, so she doesn't save money. Take it easy, it won’t take the lead, save it, it’s not good for His Highness’s younger brother or sister, it’s a headache. I heard that His Highness has made a fortune recently, and the empress thinks that a mother should ask for some flowers from her son. It's not a problem."

After finishing speaking, Ziyan blinked her eyes, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Want money?

Li Chengqian didn't expect that his old mother would play such a trick.

The fact that the East Palace is rich must not be hidden from the harem.Except for matters related to the Alliance of the Lowly, which are not recorded, everything else has traces to follow.However, if there is no war or disaster relief, what is the cost of streamlining the palace?

Forget it, why think so much!

Shouldn't it be natural for a mother to ask her son for money?

Clapping his hands, he asked Fang Sheng to come in. Li Chengqian said directly: "Fang Sheng, go to the money bank, get [-] guan for your mother, and send it to the inner palace. When sending it, tell the steward of the inner palace to mark all the money. But no one else, including the father, has the right to use the pocket money that I gave to my mother alone!"

Fang Sheng nodded, firmly remembering the previous paragraph.As for the second half of the sentence, there is no need to write it down.There are only a handful of people who can limit the imperial power, and the prince is not among them.

After happily taking out the [-] guan, Li Chengqian turned his head and said to Ziyan: "When you go back and tell your mother, you can just buy what you need. After the [-] guan is spent, just order someone to come to the East Palace to get it! In addition, I will also prepare it for my mother." Some things, when the time comes, you come to the East Palace to get them regularly."

Ziyan nodded blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In fact, even if the palace cut down on expenses, the eldest grandson would not talk to his son.The reason why she was sent here was actually a joke between the mother and the child, just to amuse her.

However, the prince obviously didn't realize the meaning of the joke, and with a wave of his hand, he gave away [-] guan.

Twenty thousand guan, how much does the entire Hall of Liangyi cost in a year?This money is enough for the queen to use for three or four years.

Knowing that the crown prince didn't like being watched by others taking a bath, Fang Sheng pulled Ziyan away from the bath.

After walking out, Fang Sheng bowed to Ziyan and said, "Miss Ziyan, this old servant will go to the warehouse to prepare money, and you just need to go to the inner mansion to check later, and everything will be fine."

Watching Fang Sheng leave in a daze, Ziyan is still in shock, unable to extricate herself for a long time.

After taking a shower, Li Chengqian went into the study.

The old gentleman is reading an article on the recliner, and he is testing Li Tai and Li Ke.

Talent, really does matter.

Although Li Ke is serious about learning, compared with the playful Li Tai, his IQ is still a bit behind.Li Tai can easily answer the questions that make Li Ke difficult.

Li Chengqian, who has been assigned a self-study class by the old man for a long time, does not disturb his younger brothers' studies. Although he has to read books in the morning, Li Gang will not interfere too much if he moves freely.

He took out a pen and paper, and drew baby carriages and cradles.

After all, he is the younger brother of his own mother and compatriot. It is impossible for an older brother to be careless.

With cradles and strollers, the burden of being a mother can be reduced to some extent.

What's more, Jiang Zuojian's superb technology has led to the things they sell, which will not look back for a long time.In any case, it is also the first cooperation partner. It is really unreasonable not to find some new jobs for them.

Although she yelled at each other, in fact, the eldest grandson is only 27 years old this year.Early marriage and early childbearing kill people, early and frequent childbirth, coupled with gas disease, no matter which child it is, it must be taken care of carefully.

Well, my mother, like a daughter-in-law, needs to be pampered.

After drawing the picture and handing it over to Fang Sheng, Li Chengqian opened the classics and read them without supervision.

In fact, it is interesting to read ancient books. For example, Lu Buwei, a businessman introduced in this paragraph, succeeded in becoming the prime minister of Qin by relying on "buy and leave".If you put yourself in his shoes and think about it, normal people would think he was a lunatic when he bet on another person.But the reality is that the comparison is even bloodier, and Yiren really became the king of Qin.

It's just that Lu Buwei was a bit greedy, and he didn't know how to retire after he succeeded. As a result, he was implicated by Lao Ai, and died of drinking doves on the way to be demoted.

So many truths can be seen from this story, for example, people should not be too greedy, and should know how to retreat bravely.For example, one should adjust one's own position. Although one can have great luck for a while, good luck will not always be with one's side....

Using a small pen to write his feelings on a note, and then clip it into a book, Li Chengqian continued to read the next story with great interest.

Fang Sheng sent the drawings to the general prisoner soon. The general prisoner's craftsmen always warmly welcome the prince's drawings.

Yan Lide is not here, Yan Liben is the leader here.

Now he is also a blueprint master. After opening it, he only looked at it for a while before making an arrangement: "The carpenter is going to make the car body, and the blacksmith is going to make the axle wheels and spring shock absorbers. This car is used by the queen, and the craftsmanship must be superb. , This is a rare opportunity for us to show our faces. As for the ones that will be sold to the outside world in the future, use iron shock absorbers. Go tell the tailors that they can also be used this time. The awning and the interior of the car must be the best Good lining. Isn’t the cotton shipped from Gaochang the best material? Just use it!”

Seeing that the supervisor was already in operation, Fang Sheng, who had nothing to do, simply stayed here to drink tea and waited for the finished product.

Facts have proved that when a large number of craftsmen are operating only for the queen, the speed is really unacceptable.

Before noon, two perfect finished products have been completed.

Whether it is a baby carriage or a cradle, they are all made of the best sandalwood, polished by the carpenter without any barbs.After trying to push it, Fang Sheng was very satisfied with the finished product.

I don't need to ask for the next thing.The carpenter who finished the work had already started to pack his things and went to teach apprentices in the carpentry shop under the supervision of the general.

With two finished products, Fang Sheng did not return to the East Palace, but sent them directly to the Harem.

When he saw the stroller and the cradle, the eldest grandson's eyes lit up, and after pushing and shaking, he understood their purpose.

Baby carriages have actually existed for a long time.But compared with the stroller in front of you, the original stroller is like the gap between a bullock cart and a supercar.The same goes for the cradle. The original cradle was just a scum like a swing, but the new crib with inert springs installed on both sides of the base axis can rock steadily from side to side.

"I don't know how this child's head is so long that he can make such a thing. Ziyan, you return the [-] guan to the East Palace. Is this Palace not telling you, just to tease the prince! How could you really accept the money, you careless person?"

Ziyan has returned to normal now, and when she heard the Queen's reprimand, she smiled and said, "Anyway, this is all filial piety from His Highness the Crown Prince! You don't know, when the Crown Prince heard that you wanted to spend some money, but No hesitation at all."

The eldest grandson smiled, but his eyes were moist: "Then keep it, and then send it back when the East Palace is short of money. In addition, you go to tell the Yan brothers who will be in charge, and when you declare to the outside world, remember to say this." It was the idea of ​​this palace. With this relationship of this palace, when asking for money from rich and powerful families, pay more attention, and when selling to ordinary people, it should be cheaper."

Ziyan nodded, it seemed like the empress was stealing her name, but in fact, it was another way of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

The baby carriages and cradles must be sold to women. As a mother of the world, she is seeking benefits for women.

1 Chapter [-]

Li Chengqian didn't know that his invention had been taken away by his mother as the patent right, or was it called the right of authorship?

But even if he knew, he would probably not care about it. For a pregnant woman, everything is right. This scope is not limited to the daughter-in-law, the same is true for the old lady.

Since Sun Simiao was picked up by Yuan Tiangang, he has been living in Laojun Temple.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.Sun Simiao lived in Laojunguan for only ten days, and Laojunguan was crowded with people who went to see a doctor or repay their kindness, and even the money for incense rose in a straight line.Tired by the constant stream of people seeing a doctor, Sun Simiao had no choice but to make a plan to stay in Chang'an.

However, even if there are many patients, he still has to go to the East Palace every day to talk about modern medicine with Li Chengqian.

"If according to His Royal Highness, wind and cold are all caused by viruses, how can we see the appearance of viruses? Although the venom of snakes and scorpions dissipates after entering the body, we can still see it before entering the body. .Since we can’t see it, we can’t easily make a conclusion on it, can we?”

Now without a microscope, it is very difficult to talk about modern medicine.

Fortunately, there was also the saying of "disease-resistant constitution" in ancient times, so Lao Sun didn't question it directly.

"There is really no way to verify the existence of the virus right now. Even if we start exploring in this direction from now on, I'm afraid we won't be able to create a device that can see the virus in a few hundred years. Since we can't make it, we might as well just keep it vague Look at it, just think of a way to deal with it, wouldn't it be fine?"

...

As long as it involves medical issues, Sun Simiao is not bothered, and feels that his time is very fulfilling.

After chatting again until the sun went down, Sun Simiao left.Mobile terminal../

After sending him to the door, Li Chengqian thought about it, and said, "Daozhang Sun, can I ask you something?"

Sun Simiao turned around and said with a smile: "It should be to check the queen's pulse. The prince's filial piety is really touching. It's just that he stayed in the palace that day, and the old man has already checked the pulse of the empress. Mother and child are safe, and there is a lot of pain." Most likely, it is a prince."

After bowing to send the old grandson away, Li Chengqian knocked himself on the head.

Thinking about it with your heels, Sun Simiao was left in the palace by the emperor's father, and he didn't just stay for one night!

Shaking his head, he went to the old gentleman's bedroom and saw that the light had been turned off before going back to sleep.

It was already the twelfth lunar month, but the temperature was not cold at all compared to the previous year.Such a temperature, not to mention ordinary people, even refugees in the mountains, probably can resist it.

The weather is not cold, and the people will not freeze to death. This should be a gratifying thing, but under the premise of this year's locust plague, such a warm winter is a bit dangerous.

When I woke up the next morning, unexpectedly, neither Li Jing nor Niu Jinda came over today.It's strange, without the Grand Court Meeting, the two of them should never be absent!

On the third day, before Li Chengqian came to visit, the two appeared in the East Palace together again.It's still the same, the faces of both of them are not very good.

After practicing sword practice and sweating all over, Li Chengqian swung his arms and approached Li Jing and Niu Jinda who were drinking too much.

He was very curious, what was it that made the two people who couldn't express their emotions look so ugly?

"Wei Gong, Niu Gong, what's the matter with you two? What can make you two be like this at the same time?"

Looking up at Li Chengqian who stretched his body, Li Jing and Niu Jinda looked at each other, and finally chose to speak.

"Yesterday, the generals of the military presented the memorial together, hoping to send troops to the Eastern Turks. However, His Majesty chose not to send troops. Li Xiaogong, Minister of the Ministry of War, is himself a relative of the emperor, so he entered the palace and went directly to the holy. As a result, Tang Tanghe King Jian, blushing after being reprimanded by His Majesty, covered his face and escaped from the palace."

After Niu Jinda finished speaking, Li Jing said: "I shouldn't have told you about this, but you are the crown prince. Although the two of us only taught you martial arts, we should teach you some truths. Last year Jieli led troops south, The attack all the way to the Weishui River, the matter spread throughout the Siyi, Tubo and other countries, all thought that our Tang Dynasty was weak and could be bullied. Tubo attacked Songzhou, but was repelled; Xue Yantuo attacked Longyou, but was also repelled; Shandong Road , Even Goguryeo, a small country, has changed.

The reason why a country is a country requires combat power, or even record.Since His Majesty is a monarch who stands out in troubled times, he should understand this truth.But I don't know why, His Majesty never proposed to send troops.But he didn't say why he didn't send troops, which is a headache! "

It was supposed to be reasonable, but when Li Jing changed the subject halfway, it turned into a complaint.If you directly teach the prince the principle of fighting when you should fight here, it will be no different from speaking ill of the emperor face to face.And if it's a complaint....

Unlike some other dynasties in the Tang Dynasty, courtiers would not be convicted of serious crimes if they slandered the emperor.

After hearing the whole story, Li Chengqian knew why without thinking.
