Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shimin took Zhou Daowu back to Liangyi Palace. At this moment, no one could see what was going on in Li Shimin's heart.

His face was as calm as water, without any change.

"Tao Wu, does Prince Ji have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ji said that this item is relatively rare at the moment. He will discuss it with His Majesty in detail when he comes back. I also have a letter here from His Highness Prince Ji."

Zhou Daowu took out a letter from his arms and handed it over. Wang De came down, took the letter, opened it, looked at it, and then handed it to Li Shimin.

The content of the letter is very concise. Judging from the handwriting, it should be written by someone else. The handwriting is beautiful, neat and clean, and it should be written by a woman.

The content is to tell him that this grenade is currently in the testing stage and has not yet been mass-produced, and because it needs to be kept secret, only three people in his house know the formula.

These three people have been controlled by Fang Fo and will not be leaked.

After he comes back, he will explain the situation to His Majesty in detail and will send the formula to Li Shimin.

It means this, but it uses some honorifics and some useless modifiers.

This is definitely not suitable for Li Shen's dictation, otherwise he would not have written it so well.

His son didn't like what he said, it was all high-sounding and full of vernacular.

"Well, Taoist, please stay at home for an extra ten and a half days when you come back this time. There won't be any trouble with King Yuki over there.

Presumably King Ji asked you to come back because of Meng Jiang. You have been married for a few years and should have given birth to an heir.

Otherwise, Meng Jiang would make people gossip outside. "Li Shimin put down the letter in his hand and began to worry about his grandson.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am ashamed that I have not been at home with the princess for a year."

"It doesn't matter. A man is getting married and establishing a career. Now is the time for you to establish a career. If you serve the court well, your father's spirit in heaven will also be happy for you."

Li Shimin and Li Shen have different ideas. The man has his ambitions in all directions.

"Yes, I would like to follow your majesty's instructions." Zhou Daowu hurriedly said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, you go down. Go home and have a good rest for a few days. I really hope I can have a grandchild tomorrow."

After hearing this, Zhou Daowu hurriedly bowed and retreated. This was considered to be the birth of a baby according to the order.

It wasn't until Zhou Daowu withdrew that Li Shimin looked away, his eyes still staring at the box on the table.

"Wang De, Lao Shi said in the letter that only three eunuchs in Prince Ji's Mansion currently know the recipe for this thing.

But I’m not worried. Now mobilize your people to sort out the entire Prince Ji’s residence.

Check to see if there are anyone else's spies in Prince Ji's Mansion, and if so, remove them immediately.

Notify the bad guys to increase the inspection of Qinrenfang. Lao Shi is working for the court outside, and his wife and children at home cannot make any mistakes.

Six doors were also notified that no official from Lingzhou Prefecture who had any relationship with Lao Jiu would be retained. "

Li Shimin issued several orders in succession. He knew very well how important this thing created by Lao Shi was.

The three people who knew the formula, Lao Shi, must have a reason to keep it, and they would ask about it after they came back, but the others were not allowed to know.

He was also afraid that one night the puppy would jump over the wall, and if Li Shen couldn't be killed, he would attack his family, especially Lao Jiu, who was now crazy.

Li Shimin still wonders whether Li Zhi is really crazy or fake.

"Your Majesty, I will take care of it now. But I just received the news that Prince Ji seems to be pregnant.

Do you want to inform His Highness Prince Ji about this news? "Wang De immediately accepted the order after hearing this.

"No, Lao Shi has his own information delivery. He thought I didn't know that he has established so many newspapers in various states and counties across the country.

He knew all the news from all over the country, and each newspaper office kept several good horses, just like the imperial court's inn.

Sometimes the message is delivered earlier than I know.

Sigh~~~What a pity, even if the annual cost is too much, the ministers in the court will not agree.

Prince Ji's mansion now earns at least 7 to 8 million yuan in revenue every year, but his treasury has never been much.

Where do you think all the money has been spent? A guard camp of 3,000 people costs more than a million dollars every year.

His intelligence system also costs 3 million yuan a year. Now there are more than 400 states and more than 2,000 counties in the Tang Dynasty. I estimate that 3 million yuan is not enough. "

Li Shimin knew everything about his son, and there was nothing he could do about it. His son was too capable.

Unlike Li Tai, Li Zhi or other sons who came out of the feudal clan, he was still making seven or eight million yuan a year right under his nose.

This does not include the money he made by cheating and abducting people everywhere.

He knew that Li Shen was spending money desperately, and he also knew why Li Shen was like this. What made him most at ease was that the crown prince's succession would definitely not be as difficult as when he first took over.

When he first succeeded to the throne, his internal wealth was less than 30,000 guan. For this reason, the palace drastically reduced its staff, and the queen weaved every day.

It was unthinkable to repair the palace, and the prince's east palace was even more impoverished, with no pocket money at all.

If this son hadn't come out of nowhere and turned everything around, how could he be so happy?

Since ancient times, which emperor's small treasury is richer than the national treasury, he can be regarded as an emperor throughout the ages.

What he currently has in his money is worth thirty to forty million copper coins.

After everything was explained, Li Shimin stood up, picked up the box on the table, and took Wang De to the Manna Hall.

After the screen retreated, Li Shimin personally put the things into the secret compartment of Ganlu Hall's study.

"Wang De, what are you eating today?"

Li Shimin is in a good mood now, very good.

"Your Majesty, the prison guard just said that Prince Ji's Mansion has sent half a cow that was just slaughtered and has been sent to the Food Bureau."

Wang De thought for a while and replied.

"Let's go to the Daji Hall. The traitor will definitely have the best parts sent to the Daji Hall, and the rest will be sent to the Shangshi Bureau."

He knew this rebellious son too well and was so filial that he even felt jealous.

Sometimes he also thinks, he is also his biological father, why don't he kiss him?

"Haha, Your Majesty is still wise. I did see the eunuch from Prince Ji's Palace go to Daji Hall alone."

Wang De couldn't help but laugh. His Majesty only looked like a father when he was with Prince Ji, not an emperor.

"Look, what am I talking about? This bastard, don't I eat beef? Come on, let's go to Daji Hall."

Now in Chang'an, Li Shimin is no longer surprised that Li Shen eats beef. Li Shen eats cattle transported long distances from the north.

The annual consumption cost of breeding in a breeding farm is higher than the value of beef, but Li Shen enjoys this bite.

However, Li Shimin had heard that Prince Ji's Mansion had released a message banning the sale of cattle and sheep to Japan.

Even if they are sold, cows are not allowed to be sold, and bulls must be castrated. If any tribe violates the regulations, Prince Ji's Mansion will no longer purchase their cattle and sheep, and impose a commercial blockade on them.

This news once puzzled Li Shimin and he couldn't figure out the whole story.
