Li Shimin

The hog circle is the largest, with a full [-] mu of wasteland, and the soil dug out from the foundation of the other courtyard is piled up in the hog circle.

In addition, the hog circle is still close to the mountain forest, and a small half of the mountain is banned from entering.

Standing outside, you can hear humming and chirping from far away.

However, there are currently only 400 big hogs and more than [-] small hogs in such a large hog circle.

What's more, Li Xuan also let the three hogs separate, and these hogs were so happy that they didn't know where they went.

"I have seen the king!"

At this time, the housekeeper Li Chang came out of nowhere.

"Hey, butler, where are you from?" Li Xuan was startled.

"Back to your Majesty, the villain came from the paddy field, it's just that you were engrossed in watching the hog circle and didn't notice the villain!"

Li Chang replied seriously.

"Um, this king just wants to see if these hog bastards are fighting!"

Li Xuan quickly replied.

Afterwards, he changed the subject directly, "How much of the little fish roe in the paddy field have you put?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are a total of [-] paddy fields, and now there are [-] paddy fields, and the river water has been introduced. However, the small fish roe needed for so many paddy fields is very large. So far, the villain has only found enough small fish for [-] paddy fields. roe!"

Li Chang replied.

"Sixty!"

Li Xuan was startled, "There are already so many?"

"It doesn't matter, the remaining 100 yuan of land, leave ten fields, I want to plant grapes. In addition, leave another ten fields to grow vegetables!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang continued to answer.

Now, he has adapted to the king's unconstrained ideas.

Anyway, there is plenty of money in the house, so you can make whatever you want.

If the fields are not enough, you can continue to buy them.

Seeing this, Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the paddy field.

After the chicken pen, duck pen and pig pen, the paddy field must be lucky, otherwise the heart will be empty.

In the past, half of the four-mu fields have been brought in to the river.

Tanaka, small fish cubs the size of a thumb, are wandering around leisurely.

On the other side of the field, a group of veterans are starting to divert river water to the remaining fields.

By the river, more than a dozen water trolleys were spinning flickeringly.

……

The next day, noon.

In the other courtyard of the Wang family.

The butler walked quickly into the main hall and saluted Wang Hong and Wang Hui.

"Patriarch, the villain has inquired clearly, and those families who went to Jinwang Zhuangzi also charged the village gate fee!"

"All families accept it?"

Wang Hui asked.

"All families accept!"

The butler nodded with a sure face.

"It seems that King Jin didn't mean to make trouble for me!"

After listening, Wang Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

Ok?

Wang Hong's eyes froze, and he looked at Wang Hui slowly.

"Old Jiu, do you have something to hide from this old man?"

"Why is Aye asking such a question? The boy has never kept anything from Aye!"

Wang Hui hurriedly replied.

"It's fine!"

Wang Hong nodded lightly and didn't pay much attention to it.

On the side, the butler continued: "Patriarch, the heads of the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fan Yang, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Jingzhaowei family, the Pei family of Hedong and other aristocratic families heard that you have also come to Chang'an, and would like to invite you to a gathering!"

"Ok?"

Wang Hong's expression flickered, and he asked, "Get the car ready!"

"Yes!"

The butler retreated in response.

At the same time, in Chang'an City, many aristocratic houses opened their doors at the same time, and more than a dozen patriarchs headed in one direction.

In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin received the news as soon as the heads of these aristocratic families moved.

"Li Wei, how many patriarchs of aristocratic families have not rushed to Chang'an City?"

"Going back to Your Majesty, there are still twenty patriarchs of aristocratic families. Because the journey is far away, it will take two or three days!" Li Wei hurriedly replied.

"Where's Qinghe Cui's family?"

"The Patriarch of the Cui Family in Qinghe, he will arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"Put it down, five days later, I will host a banquet for the heads of the aristocratic families in the Taiji Palace!"

"Yes!"

……

Chapter 231 Your Majesty, The King Is Sneaking A Bear

As word spread of Li Shimin's banquet for all the aristocratic families, the frequency of banquets for all the heads of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City increased a lot.

And those Patriarchs who were on the road also began to quicken their pace after receiving letters from their servants.

With joy, rush to Chang'an City.

The aristocratic families communicate with each other and marry each other, and they are connected with each other.

Although some things may make the other party disliked, but on such a major matter related to the foundation of the family, especially with the power of the family, to go to the official offices of the two fourth ranks in a fair and just way, all the families need to find good alliances and prepare for it. comprehensive.

Li Er from Taiji Palace is not a puppet controlled by their family!

However, the strange thing is that all the patriarchs of the aristocratic families are very busy, only the two top patriarchs of the Qinghe Cui family and the Xingyang Zheng family seem to be subconsciously forgotten by all the aristocratic families.

Looking outside, those patriarchs, one family will gather for a while, and the other family will have a banquet for a while.

In the Zheng family's other courtyard, Zheng Mingde looked angry.

"Patriarch, they are deceiving people too much!"

"It's okay, the old man is not here for them."

Zheng Yuanzhe, who was dressed in a brown cotton robe, was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea with relish, his expression was calm, and he did not show any signs of annoyance at being excluded by all the aristocratic families.

"This time, the old man came here just for the concrete road. As long as His Majesty is willing to build a concrete road for me in Xingyang first, my Zheng family county will definitely be able to rise a bit, and maybe I can hire a few more great scholars to join me. The Zheng family, keep my Zheng family safe for a hundred years!"

"Why did the Patriarch say that?"

Zheng Mingde looked puzzled, "The king of Jin has promised me that he will definitely build a concrete road for my Zheng family Xingyang first!"

"That's for Qinghe Cui's family!"

Zheng Yuanzhe glanced helplessly at Zheng Mingde, "That road is a gift from that King Jin to that daughter of Cui's family!"

Hearing this, Zheng Mingde's expression changed, and he was full of helplessness.

"Okay, there is no need for such a womanly gesture. When the Patriarch of the Cui family in Qinghe will be able to come to Chang'an, the old man will pay a visit in person!" Zheng Yuanzhe said.

"Patriarch, why is this so?"

Zheng Mingde was shocked.

"Hmph, why are you so dull?"

Zheng Yuanzhe glared at Zheng Mingde with some resentment, but he still explained: "After the Patriarch of the Cui family comes to Chang'an, he will definitely go to Lijiazhuang to see the cement road!"

"Then..."

Zheng Mingde just showed a hint of disapproval, then he couldn't help thinking of something, his face was full of surprise, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Patriarch, do you mean that Patriarch of the Cui family, like the Wang family, will take the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness King Jin?"

"Why not?"

Zheng Yuanzhe glanced at Zheng Mingde with some distaste, "My Patriarch is doing our own duty for the sake of the family. Since that King Jin can promote our family's prestige, why not meet him?"

"Besides, the Supreme Emperor has already ordered the Cui family to accept the request, and the request period has almost been set, so the concubine is just short of being canonized. Old Cui can still take this opportunity to meet his future son-in-law, how does he look like? How can you give up such a good time?"

"Patriarch, please rest assured, I will send servants to guard the gate of the city. As soon as the Patriarch of the Cui family enters the city, the Patriarch will be able to get news!"

Zheng Mingde said quickly.

"Ok!"

Zheng Yuanzhe nodded slightly.

Then, thinking of something, looking at the tea in the cup, he continued, "Hachiro!"

"Homeowner?"

"Are these fried teas sold in the city?"

"Prince Jin's tea?"

Zheng Mingde was startled, thought for a moment, and shook his head quickly: "Master Cui Hongmo and I got these tea leaves from King Jin, and they are not sold in Chang'an City!"

"So, this fried tea was also invented by King Jin?" Zheng Yuanzhe's eyes lit up.

"Master, it seems so!"

Zheng Mingde quickly replied.

"Such a treasure, you have turned a blind eye to it!"

After hearing this, Zheng Yuanzhe couldn't help but chuckled.

"treasure?"

Zheng Mingde was startled.

"This stir-fried tea can be drunk with just one steeping. The taste is fragrant and elegant, and it is also an elegant tea method!"

Zheng Yuanzhe said softly, "It's convenient and quick. As long as it's sold, it will definitely be favored by many literati."

In Datang, drinking tea was the most cumbersome thing. The rich and powerful had to hold a special banquet, and then it took half an hour just to make tea.Moreover, when making tea, a special tea master is required to prepare various seasonings beside the pot for making tea, such as onion, ginger and garlic, which are slowly crushed and put in. There are strict requirements on how much to put in.

On weekdays, only the rich and the real literati are eligible to taste this kind of tea, and ordinary nouveau riche are not eligible.

Now, with this kind of roasted tea that can emit a delicate fragrance just after brewing, as long as it is placed in a tea shop, and once it is promoted by a family like the Zheng family, Zheng Mingde can imagine how many dignitaries and friends there will be. Merchants, buy like crazy.

"Thank you Patriarch, another day, I will go to find King Jin!"

"Ok!"

Zheng Yuanzhe nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Zheng Mingde hurriedly cupped his fists and walked out.

……

At the same time Lijiazhuang.

Another wave of tourists came.
