Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Seeing her cousin waving to her, Su Quan plucked up the courage and walked over to them.

Just as the emperor's bodyguard was about to go up to search him, Li Shimin said, "No, let him come over."

Yuchi Baoqi pointed at Li Shimin: "This is the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty."

Su Quan was startled and was about to kneel down as soon as her legs went weak.

"This is Princess Changle, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and your future sister-in-law." Yuchi Baoqi took Li Lizhi's hand and winked at Su Quan.

Quan knelt down at that time and said, "The common people pay homage to Your Majesty, and pay homage to His Royal Highness Princess Changle."

Li Lizhi hurriedly said: "You are Bao Qi's cousin, so you are a member of the family and do not need to give this gift."

Yuchi Baoqi also helped him up and said, "You followed us all the way, but something happened? Is the food here?"

Su Quan calmed down: "Here it is, 15 shi. I just don't know where to transport it, so I asked my cousin to ask."

Yuchi Baoqi thought for a while, "Ninety thousand shi will be transported to the military grain workshop at night, and there will be [-] shi to be transported to the royal grain depot. You have to make a big splash and tell the people along the way that the royal grain depot is out of food this year. The emperor asked us to go to Jiangnan. When buying grain, I only bought [-] shi."

Su Quan took out a small notebook and quickly jotted down the key points, then asked: "We have to transport [-] shi of grain at night, and it will take a few days. There may not be enough manpower."

Li Shimin spoke at this time, "When this boy was building the iron workshop, you kept watching? It seems that you were also in charge of the workshops on Zhuangzi? Did you disappear suddenly to buy grain?"

Su Quan quickly handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty, my cousin thinks highly of me. The construction and production of those workshops and ironworks are indeed managed by ordinary people. My cousin arranged for me to go to Jiangnan to buy grain, and then handed over the business at hand."

Li Shimin thought to himself: "It is a talent to be able to manage the construction and management of workshops and ironworks in an orderly manner, and not to be greedy for power and just let it go."

Then he said: "Su Quan listened to the order. I feel that you have built the iron workshop in an orderly manner and have made great achievements in supervising the construction. I will grant you the title of Lantian County man and a settlement of [-] households. I hope you will continue to work hard for the country."

Seeing Su Quan standing blankly, Yuchi Baoqi kicked him down and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? You can thank me for being knighted."

Su Quan quickly kowtowed: "I accept the order and thank you!"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, [-] shi of grain must be transported at night, so the news cannot be leaked. I request your Majesty to dispatch the Xuanjia Army!"

Su Quan transported [-] shi of grain to the imperial warehouse as arranged. News spread along the way that the [-] shi of rice stored in the imperial warehouse was not enough.

The grain shopkeepers of the aristocratic family had received the news: "Have you heard, the court is out of food this year. I just bought [-] shi from Jiangnan. If there is a disaster, [-] shi of food will be enough to feed the city of Chang'an for five days." .”

Another shopkeeper said: "I heard that from today on, each of our grain shops will only sell five hundred shi of grain per day. If there is a disaster, the price of grain will definitely double!"

After everyone discussed it, they went back to report to the family representatives in Chang'an.

In the Manna Hall, "Why are you buying food all of a sudden? Tell me what you want to do."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that the noble family did something to me? This time I just want some interest from them and let them bleed."

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Aristocratic family, aristocratic family. They actually dare to spy on the Duke, I am afraid that even I will not take it seriously. I want Gao Ming to marry a woman with the fifth surname, but they actually dare to unite and refuse to marry. This is the Tang Dynasty. Are they from his family or my Li family?"

"Your Majesty, does your Majesty know why each dynasty lasts for at least 300 years?" Yuchi Baoqi changed the subject, and Li Shimin looked at him and motioned for him to continue. "

"The land annexation will make the people unable to survive. As long as there is some hope, the people will not rebel. The reason is the land annexation. A large amount of land is in the hands of aristocratic families, and they are greedy. They have control of food, knowledge, books, The passage for officials to rise, and even iron tools. The people at the bottom can only farm land for them, and the officials at the bottom are also theirs. To them, the royal family is just a small aristocratic family with a large amount of armed forces."

Li Shimin sighed: "I also know that the aristocratic family has to be eliminated. If I am here, the aristocratic family will not be in chaos, and the world will not be in chaos. But if I am gone, how many princes like me can suppress these aristocratic families."

Yuchi Baoqi said: "The Royal Academy was opened, and paper was provided to allow all students in the world to copy books. The Mongolian School was established to allow the children of craftsmen and farmers to enroll in school. Three years later, the imperial examination was opened to select scholars from common people and poor families. Ten years later, It is no longer possible for officials from aristocratic families to control the court."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "That being said, did you know that the paper is in the hands of the aristocratic family? As a result, we are in ruins before the war even begins."

Seeing Yuchi Baoqi teasing his face with half a smile, Li Shimin stood up and pointed at him and said: "You, you, you, can you make paper? You can definitely do it. I recognize your kid's face!"

Yuchi Baoqi said: "I will go back and get the paper right away. If there is a disaster in Chang'an. Your Majesty, please believe me. I will do the operation and fight with the aristocratic family. This time I will ask them to let out blood!"

"Okay, I promise you. You go back and write down a list of ways to deal with the aristocratic family and hand it in. You have to take this belt. You don't need to report when you enter and leave the palace with my belt."

In the cubicle of Mingyue Tower, representatives of seven aristocratic families were sitting at the table.

"Yu Chi Baoqi opened a brick factory before, which affected my Cui family's brick-selling business. There are members of the royal family in those workshops. You asked me to tolerate it. Now he has sent people to Jiangnan to buy grain for Li Er. It is clear that it is You want to go against our family." Cui Xiaomin glanced at the representatives of the families.

The representative of the Zheng family in Xingyang said disdainfully: "It's only [-] dan. Our family has a million dan in the granary in Chang'an. We are not afraid that Li Er will not obey. He is just the second son of a prince. How can he make such a fuss? But His ironworks is indeed an eyesore."

Cui Xiaomin slapped the table: "Is it just the iron workshop? I'm not afraid to tell you that if his glaze workshop and wine workshop are completed, your losses will be much greater than my Cui family!"

Because the output was relatively small, glass and burnt knives did not appear on the market on a large scale, so the family owners did not pay attention to those workshops before.

After hearing what Cui Xiaomin said, Cui Wenyou, the representative of the Cui family in Qinghe, said: "How about we find someone to tie him up, force him to learn how to use everything in the workshop, and then kill him to avoid future troubles? I, the Cui family in Qinghe, are willing to pay [-] guan." !”

The Cui family of Qinghe had monopolized the brewing industry in Datang, and he was a little anxious at this time.

"I, the Boling Cui family, also contributed [-] yuan! Our aristocratic family has an agreement, one will be prosperous and one will suffer!" Cui Xiaomin glanced at the representatives.

After hearing this, the representatives of all the families had to raise their hands to indicate that they were also willing to pay.

Yuchi Baoqi originally planned to leave the palace to visit the military grain factory, but she thought she might as well come and see the old man.

After asking several palace people, he found Da'an Palace. When Wang Ren saw Yuchi Baoqi, he immediately shouted to the palace: "Your Majesty, look who is here."

"The brat is here? Let him in quickly, he's a heartless guy. It's been a long time since he came to see me." Li Yuan scolded with a smile.

Li Yuan laughed and cursed. Yuchi Baoqi entered the palace: "Hey, old man, I'm busy these days. I was checking things at the Ministry of Works, and it took me five days to figure them out. I almost died from exhaustion."

Li Yuan found that he was indeed not in good spirits: "Let me tell you, why is he doing so many things for you? Are all the civil and military officials in the dynasty dead? If you want a child who has not yet reached the crown to work hard, I have to go find him Reason!"

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly grabbed Li Yuan: "Hey, hey, let's forget it, old man. There's going to be a war soon, and we can't win the time, so I have to do it. Don't make any more trouble, and be obedient. I'll come to the palace next time to help you." You bring something fun."

Li Yuan finally calmed down: "Have you decided to marry Li Zhi? Are you not afraid that Changsun Wuji will hate you?"

Yuchi Baoqi sneered: "It's decided, but I haven't gotten the chance yet. My father-in-law has already given me a marriage gift, and the holy card is kept at home. I am also afraid of Changsun Wuji. When my father-in-law asked me if I was married, I As long as she's not Princess Changle, that's fine. I never thought it would be hard to turn back once I see beauty."

Li Yuan left Yu Chi Baoqi to eat the stewed barbecue and then let him go out to do business.
