Li Shimin

Coincidentally, I can also take the opportunity to inspect the states and counties I have passed through, select states and counties for them in the future, and add a few more suitable targets.

then.

On the way back to Chang'an this time, Li Xuan and the group spent nearly a month.

And by the time Li Xuan and the others returned to Chang'an, the matter in Jiangning City was over.

Li Xiaogong was already one step ahead and returned to Chang'an.

……

Lijiazhuang.

In the King Jin's courtyard, Li Xuan was lazily lying on a large wicker chair.

On one side, there is a round table, on which there is a plate of fresh melons and fruits, and a large glass of cold ale.

In front, Li Chongyi and Cheng Chusi were sitting on the sofa, holding a plate of fresh melons and fruits in their hands, eating non-stop.

This is the second day that Li Xuan returned to the other courtyard.

It took more than five months to protect Li Chengqian on his tour of the Tang Dynasty.

After returning, Li Xuan didn't want to move again.

The same is true for Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others.

However, because he wanted to report the matter of Jiangning City to Li Xuan, he had to come to Lijiazhuang.

"So, the Langya Wang family is completely gone?"

Li Xuan stuffed a piece of cold melon into his mouth and asked slowly.

"Exactly, all the children of the Langya Wang family, all the important people were killed. And some of the concubine's children were relegated to slaves, or exiled to the frontier. As for the Dandong clan of the Langya Wang clan, there are also those from Tubo. The three cities were also resold to other families!"

Li Chongyi reported in detail, "The direct line of Jiangning City of the Meng family in Pingchang was all killed, and all the children of the dynasty who were closer to the direct line were also dismissed.

As for the rest of the houses, they will be fined some money.

The Pingchang Meng family's feudal kingdom in Koguryo, as well as the king's title, were all taken back, just like the Langya Wang family! "

"The remaining Langya Yan clan, Gumu Xu clan, Dongguan Juxian Liu clan, Chenjun Yuan clan... and other aristocratic families in Jiangning City executed some stewards and concubine sons who privately harmed the people, and punished hundreds of thousands of money.

Those people who were deceived to go to Goguryeo were sent back.

The hundreds of people who stood up to identify the family in Jiangning City, together with their family, were moved to Chang'an by me, Aye! "

"Also, during this period of time, the imperial court has also discovered from the great families of Tang Dynasty the evil things of harming the people privately and deceiving them into the country. Those families actively brought a lot of money to Chang'an , I beg Your Majesty to forgive me.

At the same time, he personally sent those common people back to Datang..."

"Master, I am waiting for immeasurable merit this time!"

"Exactly, Master, we have saved thousands of Tang people this time!"

Saying that, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and the others couldn't help but be full of excitement.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded calmly.

Seeing this, Li Chongyi was taken aback.

Then, thinking of something, he quickly said: "Master, there is one more thing!

"

"Ok?"

Li Xuan subconsciously looked at Li Chongyi.

Li Chongyi hurriedly said: "This time, thousands of catties of gold were found from the homes of the Wang family in Langya and the Meng family in Pingchang. In addition, those families in Jiangning City, as well as those family leaders who sealed off the country, also came to Chang'an this time. Bring a lot of gold.

It adds up to a total of [-] catties, and these are considered as atonements given to the master by those aristocratic families! "

"Where's the gold?"

Li Xuan was overjoyed, even in his Li Family Manor, there were already nearly 30 jin of gold, but he was still slightly happy about the [-] jin of gold.

"Return to Master, the fifty thousand jin of gold is now on the carriage in the other courtyard at the door!"

Li Chongyi felt a little relieved, and said hastily.

In this case, a powerful family with hundreds of years was wiped out, and there was also a direct branch of a powerful family, plus the apologies from nearly a hundred families, the imperial court made a lot of money.

In addition, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi and other families who went to Jiangning City this time also gained a lot.

Especially the shops and business routes left by these two families!

As for the chief hero, Li Xuan, he must show his performance.

That [-] catties of gold is a sign.

Li Xuan was also very satisfied with the fifty thousand catties of gold.Although the business routes left by Langya Wang Clan and Pingchang Meng Clan also belong to Li Xuan.Even, the money earned every year can buy several copies of [-] catties of gold.

It can be regarded as full!

However, Li Xuan still valued the gold more.

Perhaps, it is the obsession in my heart.

Gold is the most precious and the most valuable!

"housekeeper!"

"What is the king's order?"

Li Chang hastily clapped his hands in response.

"Bring a few personal guards and send the fifty thousand catties of gold to the warehouse to settle!"

Li Xuan ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang, the butler with a pair of copper-gold glasses on the bridge of his nose, hurriedly clapped his hands in response, and walked out quickly.

He also understands the importance of gold in the heart of his king.

After a while.

Li Chang reported to Li Xuan again that the fifty-one thousand catties of gold had been stored.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

In Li Chongyi's heart, it was the real relaxation.

Afterwards, they chatted again, and when Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and the others had almost finished eating the second bowl of melons and fruits, Li Xuan was ready to kick them out.

"This time, I escorted Gao Ming to inspect more than half of the Tang Dynasty. We inspected dozens of prefectures and nearly a hundred counties. When I go back, I will think about it carefully. In the future, Gao Ming will be the magistrate of a certain county. Go back to assist Zuo Gaoming.

Or, you will also be the county magistrate, protecting Gaomingzhi County around! "

"Thank you, master, for reminding me!"

Hearing this, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and the others all looked solemn.

As the eldest sons of Tang Xungui, no matter how stupid or naive they behave, they still have the political instinct they should have.

The prince of the Tang Dynasty wants to decentralize the management of states and counties. This is a major event in the noble circle!

As long as there is even a little bit of news, there will be many noble children going crazy for it!

And if they want to become officials in the future, truly enter the power center of the Tang Dynasty, and grow their family, they must make a choice.

Soon, all the little bastards left with serious expressions on their faces!

In this regard, Li Xuan showed a slight smile.

Immediately after taking another sip of ale, he lay down slowly and closed his eyes slightly.

Being able to lie on such a cool recliner in hot weather is the most comfortable day in Dog days!

As for the few months when Li Xuan left, there was an old housekeeper Li Chang in the Li Family Manor to manage everything, and Princess Cui Mi was in charge, so there was no major event in the Li Family Manor.

And those 52 scholars who were brought back by Li Xuan have completely adapted to the life in Li Family Village.

Among them, more than ten scholars also brought their parents over.

There are also five scholars who met the daughters of the farmers in the village and got married!

For this situation, Li Xuan is naturally happy to hear it!

……

It is a few days later!

Li Chengqian came to Lijiazhuang.

On the other hand, Li Chang hurriedly took a few maidservants with him, bringing all kinds of fresh fruits and snacks, as well as a bottle of ale just taken out of the ice cellar, and a glass of fruit juice!

"Uncle Wang, in the past few days, Chengqian has thought about it carefully. Among the prefectures and counties I have visited in the past few months, Gao Ming already has several counties in his mind. I want to ask Uncle Wang to decide!"

Li Chengqian directly explained his intention.

"I'm determined?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li Chengqian who was staring at him in surprise, and said: "In the future, it will be a county that you manage by yourself, how can this king decide you?"

"Back to Uncle Wang, Chengqian is the first prince in history to be devolved to govern a county town. There is no history to borrow, so we can only ask Uncle Wang for help!"

Li Chengqian continued.

"So you will be the first prince through the ages!"

Li Xuan lay down lazily again.

"Uncle Wang, is that really the case?"

Li Chengqian looked happy and asked quickly.

"naturally!"

Li Xuan replied: "Which prince have you ever met who would put down his dignity and start governing the county first? As long as you can manage the county well, the people in a county will be rich and the officials will be clear.

Your Majesty will definitely look at you with admiration, and all the important officials of the court will also trust you as a prince, and thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty will support you even more.

Then, you can rule a state, and then a...

You can understand the situation of the whole Tang Dynasty, what are the demands of the people, what are the needs of the officials, and you can know the careful thoughts of the officials behind it with any memorial!

In the end, when His Majesty is tired and believes enough that you can govern the entire Tang Dynasty, you can take over the throne smoothly! "

The more he listened, the brighter Li Chengqian's eyes became.

"How many uncles have you inherited!"

"No need to thank me!"

Li Xuan raised his hand and shook it.

"So, if you think you can manage that county by yourself, and you have a good impression of that county, you can go to that county to be the county magistrate!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian wanted to say something else.

Li Xuan continued: "Now that you have married a wife, you are considered an adult. As a mature prince, you must learn to make your own decisions, make your own decisions, and don't always ask others about everything!"

Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, Uncle Wang!"

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"Go back to Uncle Wang, there's nothing wrong!"

Li Chengqian quickly replied.

"You are also very familiar with Lijiazhuang, you can do whatever you want, I want to catch up on sleep!"

With that said, Li Xuan turned over and ignored Li Chengqian.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help being speechless.

"Since that's the case, Cheng Qian won't bother Uncle Wang anymore, Cheng Qian will leave first!"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian cupped his hands at Li Xuan and left on his own.
