All the members are in love with the group, and the cub is causing trouble in the Tang Dynasty.

The apricot chicken given by the emperor is a rooster and two hens. It had been taken care of by a special person before, and the feathers were trimmed beautifully.

Mrs. Ye really couldn't bear to keep these three chickens together with the chickens at home, so she and the housekeeper cleaned the chicken coop and separated them into two sides so as not to interfere with each other.

Yuan Yuan looked at the three new feathered beasts, thought for a while, and made a decision.

She said to the rooster: "Then your name is Er Mao, and your friend's name is San Mao Si Mao, okay?"

The rooster walked past her with his head held high.

Yuan Yuan pouted, this Ermao is really arrogant, not even as kind as the original Ermao! ! !

At this time in Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin was taking an examination of Prince Li Chengqian's knowledge.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were outside asking for a meeting.

Li Shimin announced that the two of them had entered.

Fang and Du were about to salute when Li Shimin waved his sleeves: "No need."

Only close ministers can come to the Liangyi Palace. They are all old friends who have fought together, so there is no harm in acting casually.

Fang Xuanling placed the tray in front of Li Shimin. On it was a bowl of snow-white fine salt.

"It was made by the Prime Minister of the Zhuzhi Department, the Supervisor of the Shaofu, together with the Ministry of Work and the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"That's Erlang of the Yuan family."

Li Shimin had already gotten some fine salt from Wei Zheng before, and the one in this bowl was even better than the previous one.

He pushed the bowl in the direction of Li Chengqian and motioned for him to take a look.

Li Chengqian followed Shan Ruliu and stepped forward to observe.

After seeing it, touching it, and tasting it, Li Shimin asked him: "What do you think, Prince?"

Li Chengqian closed his eyes, then opened them with a smile: "Aye, I heard from the teacher that the treasury tax account is mainly based on renting and making money, and the salt profit is very small. Although the salt mines are mainly in the hands of rich families, huge profits can be obtained from them. , but the hasty imposition of salt tax will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in salt prices, which is detrimental to the people."

"Is it possible to trade with Turks and other foreign countries and exchange salt for Turks' war horses? I heard that copper and iron mines were discovered in Tuyuhun, and there are flocks of Tubo cattle and sheep... But they are short of salt, very short."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and said gently: "Go down."

Li Chengqian resigned.

When he walked out of the hall, Li Shimin sighed: "Is the teacher I have chosen for His Highness the Crown Prince too upright..."

Although now is the time to recuperate, the imperial court has been preparing to send troops to the Eastern Turks. Wouldn't sending salt to them at this time help them rise to the top?

In the military camp, salt occupies a very important position. To a certain extent, it is even more important than weapons.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, salt water has not only helped soldiers recover their physical strength on the battlefield, but also has the effect of cleaning wounds.

Fang Xuanling: "The prince is young, so it is not easy for him to have such an opinion."

Du Ruhui shook his head: "No, I think His Highness the Crown Prince has a plan in mind. With the current national strength, it is unwise to start a war in a short period of time. But salt is consumed quickly. As long as we control it properly and open the market, our country will benefit even more."

Fang Xuanling frowned: "It will take a lot of time to transport goods back and forth."

Li Shimin twirled the salt in the bowl with his fingers and pondered for a moment.

"Although this kind of refined salt is rare, it may not be easy to store. If it is sent to the border, it may have become second-class salt."

He smiled again: "Second-grade salt is also refined salt. This matter will be discussed later. Let's make a new batch of salt first."

"The Yuan family deserves a reward."

A few people discussed politics for a while, and Zhang Anan, who went to Yuan's house to reward him, came back.

He reported the news he heard from the Yuan family to His Majesty the Emperor very hurriedly.

"It was said that at Sifanglou, I became sworn friends with General Yuchi, General Cheng, and General Qin. From now on, we will eat delicious food together and fight bad guys together."

Li Shimin looked surprised, then laughed loudly: "Tomorrow morning, I will definitely ask these people in public what they think."

Zhang Ananda said with a smile: "When I came out, the second lady asked me to bring a message to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin couldn't stop laughing: "Quick... tell us quickly, let us have fun."

"The young lady said that she also wants to become sworn brother to Uncle Erlang."

Li Shimin: "..."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also laughed.

At night, Yuan Yuan was lying on the bed getting ready to sleep, and the system reminded her to study.

Yuan Yuan shrank into the quilt and said to herself: "Baby, I need to go to bed early. Dad is a bit busy today. Yuan Yuan needs to be good..."

She leaned her face against the pillow, yawned, and closed her eyes.

system:"……"

10 minutes later, in the system classroom.

Yuan Yuan crossed her arms and pouted: "Do adults really prefer children who love to learn?"

System: "Host, have you forgotten how happy Yuan Aweng was when you endorsed me?"

Yuan Yuan sighed and said with emotion: "I am still a baby now, and everyone likes me. When I grow old and lose my appearance, what else can I use to hold everyone's heart?"

Then he covered his little mouth and snickered.

system:"……"

What is this? ? ? ! ! !

It searched the database and found out that the little host heard the conversation between Mrs. Yuan Dalang and Yuan Dalang.

While Mrs. Yuan was preparing the meal, Yuan Dalang went to show her courtesy and praised her for being as beautiful as the first time he saw her.

Mrs. Yuan sighed: "I am still a woman in my prime, and you like my appearance. When I grow old and lose my beauty, what else can I use to hold Alang's heart?"

Then the two started flirting again.

The system was speechless. The little host inherited the powerful genes of the Commander and was extremely intelligent, but it was not used on the right path.

It quickly released a new lecturer from "Jijiuzhang" to teach the little host extended knowledge of the book's content.

The host is still young and needs to lay a solid foundation and not rush for success.

Early the next morning, King Zhao Li Yuanjing came to pick up Yuan Yuan again.

This time he came a little later. When he arrived at Yuan's house, it was already dawn.

Because the little girl slept in class yesterday, Yu Shinan later sent a message to Li Yuanjing that the little girl was too young and could come to school later.

After a while, Yu Shinan planned a study plan and will personally be responsible for the young lady's enlightenment studies.

Because it was late, Li Yuanjing didn't send anyone to speak last night.

So when he came over in the morning, he saw the little kid looking at him seriously.

"Uncle Rokuro, you are already a big boy, how can you sleep in?"

Li Yuanjing: "...We will set off at this time in the future, you can get up later."

Yuan Yuan looked shocked: "Uncle Liulang, I get up so early every day!!!"

Mrs. Ye behind her couldn't help laughing: "Oh, who got up so early? Why doesn't Grandma know?"

Yuan Yuan looked guilty and covered her chubby face with her little hands: "Uncle Liulang, let's leave quickly, it's already too late!!!"

After getting on the carriage, Yuan Yuan peeked at Mrs. Ye through the carriage window and exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her coming in.

Yuan Da Chongming almost lost his face! ! !
