Li Shimin

The information revealed by Li Xuan really shocked the officials of these aristocratic families.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a land of immortals outside of Great Tang!"

"Compared to this fairy land, the Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, and Silla vassal states that my family has been trying to conquer all these years are simply barren lands!"

"But everyone, don't forget that overseas is extremely dangerous. Even King Jin almost didn't come back with three giant steel ships!"

"But King Jin is back!"

"Without a chart, you don't know how to get to that continent!"

"Ugh……"

"Everyone is thinking too far. We are all officials of the Tang Dynasty. These important matters are discussed by the Patriarch and the clan elders!"

"Oh, it's also..."

"Don't you think of the kind of grain that can produce ten stones per mu as His Royal Highness Jin said?"

"Ten stones are ten stones, isn't that a good thing?"

"But have you ever thought that the grain merchants at home seem to have hoarded a large amount of grain in the past few months?"

"So what, even if the grain yielding ten shi per mu is really planted by His Royal Highness King Jin, it won't be in time!"

"So, I'm still a little uneasy!"

"Since ancient times, how can grain merchants still lose money?"

Some officials of the aristocratic family were somewhat disapproving.

However, some family officials are still a little uneasy.

"Everyone, have you ever thought about it? Since ancient times, there have been no craftsmen who can be knighted! But today, they are still awarded three knights in a row!"

"This……"

Hearing this, some officials of the aristocratic family were startled, some looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

"However, those grain merchants are directly under the control of the clan elders at home, and have nothing to do with us!"

"Ugh!"

"In this case, I can only write a letter to the family to report the situation here!"

"As it should be!"

With that said, all the family officials left in a hurry.

Soon, letters were sent out one after another.

After receiving the letter, the patriarchs of the major aristocratic families broke out in a cold sweat.

King Jin is so ruthless?

As patriarchs, do they know how dependent their aristocratic families are on the various industries that King Jin mentioned?

In particular, with the help of military equipment from the imperial court, it is necessary to conquer the vassal state!

These things are the foundation of their aristocratic families in the future!

Once successful, these aristocratic families can build an eternal foundation and prosper for thousands of years, even without being affected by the change of the court.

As for the land of overseas gods mentioned by the King of Jin, they are only yearning for it in their hearts. The most important thing for their family at present is to conquer a few feudal cities and establish a kingdom!

And during this period, they absolutely must not have any conflict with that King Jin.

Even if it is to confer titles on a few craftsmen, the heads of these aristocratic families don't care at all.

After reading the letter, all the house owners hurriedly convened a meeting of the house owners, and immediately wrote letters to all the heads of Chang'an City, and sent messengers overnight.

Soon, the principal officials of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City all received replies from the family.

After everyone watched it, they couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts.

Similarly, those grain merchants also received the news.

However, during this period of time, not only did they not sell the grain, but they took back tens of thousands of shi of grain.

Even if they were told how evil King Jin was, they could only go one way to the dark.

Regarding the actions of these grain merchants, Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others ignored them.

And Li Chengqian and others didn't even bother to care about it.

Because, Li Shimin found a princess for Li Chengqian!

"Secretary Cheng Su Tan's eldest daughter?"

In Li Family Manor, Li Chengqian hurriedly found Li Xuan just after hearing the news.

Behind him, Cheng Chusi, Changsun Chong and others all had weird smiles on their faces.

"How does it look, your mother must have shown you the picture!"

But what Li Chengqian didn't expect was that the issues that his wife cared about were so different from ordinary people.

"Master..."

"It's okay, this matter is related to your happy life in the future, and appearance must be the first hurdle. If you don't like the eldest daughter of Su Quan, you should quickly report the situation to your majesty and queen. I think your majesty and queen will definitely listen. your opinion!"

Li Xuan suggested solemnly.

"Master, Chengqian has seen the portrait of the eldest daughter of Su Quan, and feels that appearance, appearance..."

As he said that, Li Chengqian's expression turned out to be a little awkward.

"So, I like it!"

Li Xuan stared at Li Chengqian speechlessly.

Li Chengqian nodded embarrassedly.

"As the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I, a man in Guanzhong, how can I be so coy?"

……

Chapter 640 The world has changed?

Li Xuan couldn't help it, and said again: "Look at my master and Xue Rengui, if you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Only by being so frank can you find a suitable husband!"

"Ok?"

As he spoke, Li Xuan suddenly realized something, subconsciously looked up and looked around.

"Where is Xue Rengui?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others had strange expressions, and hastily bowed their heads in silence.

"An Lan is here?"

Li Xuan was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses and asked directly.

"Master is wise!"

Li Chengqian quickly replied with an apologetic smile.

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help being angry, "You actually let An Lan and Xue Rengui get along alone?"

"Back to Master, there are two maidservants beside An Lan!"

Li Chengqian shrank his neck, and replied cautiously: "An Lan just likes glass greenhouses. It happens that Xue Rengui is free, so let Xue Rengui take him to the glass greenhouses in Xuejiazhuang, and look around at the vegetables in each glass greenhouse!"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but glared at Li Chengqian with disgust.

"When you're all right, get out of Xuejiazhuang, let An Lan and Xue Rengui be alone like this, and you won't be afraid of hurting An Lan's reputation!"

"Master, don't be upset, as long as the sweet potatoes and potatoes are harvested, the emperor will confer titles on Xue Rengui. At that time, he will directly issue an edict to Xue Rengui, making him the captain of the son-in-law!"

Li Chengqian said.

"Hum..."

Li Xuan just sneered at Li Chengqian.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others immediately smiled shyly at them, and hurried out.

And in Lijiazhuang.

With the knighthoods of Letai, Ji Wen and others, those who cured ink stayed in the forge all day long, and they were extremely concerned about all the objects in the forge.

For those muskets, those gunpowder and bombs, all the ink masters couldn't wait to chew these into pieces and swallow them into their stomachs, and study these objects thoroughly.

Especially, after getting some fantastic ideas from Li Xuan.

These black ink practitioners were all astonished. They never imagined that such a miraculous musket could exist. Without flint and lead wire, they could directly pull the mechanism and shoot out the steel inside the gun.

In addition, the principle of muskets can be used to create a huge musket barrel, and then like a musket shooting, it can shoot five or six catties of bombs into a big musket several miles away!

at the same time.

The sweet potato, potato, corn, pumpkin, pepper, tomato and other seedlings in the glass greenhouse in Lijiazhuang are also growing day by day.

Potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, corn and other seedlings have also begun to bloom and bear fruit!

There have been two heavy snowfalls in Chang'an City.

A messenger from Qingzhou ignited the long-quiet Chang'an City once again.

The Duke of Ju led the fleet and brought back 200 million shi of grain from Linyi.

The people in all the states and cities along the way were full of joy.

Two million stones of grain!

Although I can't figure out how that small Linyi country can grow so much food so quickly.

However, all the common people know that with these more than 200 million grains, when next year's crops are scarce, those grain merchants who are so bad at their feet will definitely not take the opportunity to raise prices again.

But the grain merchants of those aristocratic families felt as if the sky had collapsed, and their whole bodies exploded in place.

"200 million stones of grain!"

"The small country of Linyi is not only about the size of three or four prefectural cities in Tang Dynasty. How could it produce so much grain in just two years?"

"Could it be that we really do nothing and admit defeat easily as the Patriarch told us?"

"What else can I do? In half a month, the 200 million shi of grain will enter Qingzhou Harbor, unless the 200 million shi of grain suddenly sinks into the sea. Otherwise, as long as the 200 million shi of grain enters Hedong Road, we will Those grains waiting to be transported to Hedong must be sold at a low price!"

"However, we will inevitably lose half of the loss in this way, how to explain to our respective families?"

"So what? Now the Great Tang is no longer the Great Tang of the past few years. Not only can our aristocratic family lose control of the government, but even the affairs of the states in the Tang Dynasty have begun to escape our control!"

"What's wrong with this world? Craftsmen can be knighted, and grain merchants can start losing money..."

As he said that, all the grain merchants from aristocratic families couldn't help but feel depressed.

Then, his face was full of weirdness again.

The heavens in Datang have changed!

Sure enough, only the vassal states outside can be the place for the family to settle down.

"Everyone, let's start lowering the price!"

"It's still the Patriarchs who have the foresight to know that I will fall this time!"

"Ugh……"

In the end, an aristocratic family sighed helplessly, stood up slowly, and walked out.

The rest of the grain merchants also stood up slowly, with helpless expressions on their faces.

out the main gate.

The backs of all the grain merchants collapsed subconsciously, and a sense of desolation pervaded the air.

a few days later.

The people in the entire Chang'an city, and even in Guanzhong, Guannei, Henan, Hedong and other places, were pleasantly surprised to find that the few grain shops in the city had quietly lowered their prices.

……

"Master, those aristocratic grain stores have started to cut prices!"
