Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen watched Wang Xuance boarding the ship, but what he was thinking about was why he seemed to have seen the scene just now somewhere.

Should I have grabbed a handful of soil and put it in Wang Xuance's cup, and then said: I would rather cherish a handful of soil from my own country than a thousand taels of gold from another country!

Wang Xuance left. If he knew what Li Shen was thinking just now, he would probably spray wine on Li Shen's face.

This time Wang Xuance left with a thousand guards from Prince Ji's palace. After all, he needed to escort so much money. In addition to a thousand guards, there is also a sharp blade team of 50 people.

In the past few years, Li Shen has improved many training subjects for this team, such as disguised reconnaissance. Li Shen also specially invited people from several countries to teach them languages, including Tubo, Goguryeo, Mongolian, and the Western Regions.

Their purpose of following Wang Xuance this time was to protect Wang Xuance's safety.

Li Shen watched the fleet of boats on the Weishui River go away, and looked at the surging water. He really wanted to shout, "The Yangtze River is full of water."

After Wang Xuance left, Li Shen felt that he was missing a right-hand man. He had to do a lot of things by himself, which he was not used to.

On the third day after Wang Xuance left, Wang Hongfu came to report that the autumn tea harvest had begun, and Li Shen had blackmailed him into the [-]-acre tea garden.

"Your Majesty, should we collect less this year?" Wang Hongfu asked Li Shen.

"No, we need as much as we have, and we not only collect young tea, but also old tea. Lao Wang, although some of our tea business has been sold to Tubo and other places, it is not enough. You send people to Shannan, Jiannan, Lingnan and other tea-producing prefectures and counties vigorously promote tea cultivation, saying that our palace will always harvest it.

Tea trees are generally grown in mountainous areas, so planting on fertile land is not delayed. You send someone to Lingnan to inform Fifth Brother and ask him to organize local people to plant tea on a large scale in the mountains. It will be ready for harvesting in two or three years without delaying their cultivation of food.

Let him vigorously develop tea and rice cultivation and improve people's lives.

Our tea development focus this year is on the grasslands, Tubo, and the Western Regions. Don't sell our tea in these places. They won't be able to drink it. You can buy tea from tea merchants and sell it to the Tibetan people on the grassland.

Remember to exchange cattle, sheep, and grain without asking for their money. "

Wang Hongfu wrote down all Li Shen's requests in a small notebook, for fear of making any omissions.

Now he is very satisfied with his current life. In terms of status, everyone knows that he is the business spokesperson of Prince Ji's Palace. Most officials dare not mess with him. In terms of money, Li Shen gives him tens of thousands of dollars in dividends every year.

Don't think it's small, most businessmen don't make tens of thousands of dollars a year, no matter how hard it is.

The most important point is that Li Shen removed the status of several of his sons. In other words, the lowly status is only for his generation, and the next generation can study, take the imperial examination, and become an official in the court.

This is much more important than money, and it doesn't matter whether he is cheap or not.

"Your Majesty, I also heard about something that has something to do with Your Majesty."

"tell me the story."

"I heard from the public that Ashina Zhong, Duke of Xue State, was buying a large amount of grain. It seems that the Ashina tribe was hit by a disaster and more than half of the cattle and sheep died.

And it seems that a lot of property will be sold off. This is what I heard from people in the dental industry. "Wang Hongfu told Li Shen the news he had learned.

"Xue Guogong? Ashina Zhong? Who is it? Why does this name sound familiar?" After hearing this, Li Shen felt that the name Ashina Zhong was very familiar.

Seeing Li Shen thinking hard, Wang Hongfu felt speechless. Reminder:

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Xue, Ashina Zhong's wife, is the princess of Dingyang County."

"Lord of Dingyang County? Oh, I remembered it. Ashina Zhong is my eldest brother-in-law." Li Shen's sudden realization gave Wang Hongfu a headache.

This prince is young, so does his memory have such a bad memory? Although he is not a father, he is still born to a mother. He actually didn't even remember his eldest brother-in-law.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Li Shen. He has never met Ashina Zhong, only the Lord of Dingyang County, and as he grows older, he has never even met the Lord of Dingyang County.

The head of Dingyang County actually knew that Li Shen was a prince and a prince. She didn't want to cling to powerful people and trouble Li Shen.

"Okay, I understand. You go and do the things I asked you to do. Send people to various places to collect tea. As much as you can collect, try to be ahead of the aristocratic family. Go ahead."

Wang Hongfu took the order and left. Li Shen thought for a while, changed his clothes, and led the people straight to the palace.

Nowadays, in Chang'an City, apart from Li Chengqian, the only person who can go out with a hundred guards is Li Shen.

Even the little fat Li Tai can't do it, which is enough to show Li Shimin's love for Li Shen. This makes many princes envious.

Only Li Shen himself felt that the protection fees he had paid over the past few years were not in vain.

Now that Li Shen is 15 years old, the procedures for entering the palace are more complicated. It is necessary to notify the harem to register. When you enter, where you go, what you do, and what time you come out must be registered clearly.

Moreover, after entering the harem, there must be someone to follow him. When an adult prince enters the palace, he can only go to his mother's palace. Of course, he can go to pay greetings to the queen.

Apart from this, you are not allowed to go to other places, otherwise you will be violating the etiquette and deceiving the emperor, unless you get the emperor's permission.

Of course Li Shen knew the rules. Li Shimin originally allowed his guards to follow him to the entrance of the harem, but Li Shen only sent the guards to wait outside the imperial city, and only brought a few maids and eunuch Shitou in.

When they arrived at Daji Hall, Concubine Wei was not there, so Li Shen was probably at the queen's place making wedding clothes for Li Mengjiang.

Li Mengjiang's wedding dress took at least four or five months to complete, and it was all embroidered stitch by stitch. Li Shen was astonished when he heard that it took several years to embroider one of the emperor's dragon robes.

Ask the maid to go to the queen to inform him that he has something to do, and he will ask his servants to make tea.

Concubine Wei came back after a while and asked when they met: "Shen'er, didn't you just come here the day before yesterday?"

"Concubine, do you dislike me?" Li Shen grimaced. How could my own mother talk like that?

"You kid, tell me, what's the matter with your visit this time?" Concubine Wei sat down and asked.

"Concubine, I heard from the servants in the house that Lord Xue Guo Ashina is buying grain. It seems that many cattle and sheep of the Ashina tribe have died. I would like to ask, has the eldest sister come to see my concubine?"

What Li Shen meant was to know whether the Lord of Dingyang County came to Concubine Wei for help.

"Is there such a thing? She hasn't been here before. Alas, your eldest sister has been sensible since she was a child. After she got married, she never came to me for help with anything. In other words, I would give some money as a reward every New Year and festival.

Ashina Zhong is now the leader of their tribe, and he often helps the old, young, sick and disabled in the tribe.

If there is a disaster, he will also help the tribe survive the disaster year. How can he use his salary? "Concubine Wei also sighed.
