Datang Institute of Technology

Above the main hall, upon hearing the voice of the herald, it suddenly fell silent.

Especially the officials of the aristocratic family, how could Xu Jiazi suddenly... meet the king in front of the palace?

Shouldn't he be ashamed to see people now?

After all, after such a long time, the dust has settled. If you want to resist, you should have finished resisting long ago.

So, what is the situation now?

However, they also snorted coldly in their hearts, so what can they do when they see the king in front of the palace? The things that have already been concluded can be reversed.

Li Shimin was also a little surprised, there was no news of Xu Jiazi after so long, he thought that Xu Jiazi had been hit and depressed since then, after all, in Chang'an, except for a small number of people who tried their best to defend Xu Jiazi, most of the remarks were very unfavorable to Xu Jiazi.

The officials of the aristocratic family really put in a lot of effort this time, and they spared no effort to create rumors in Chang'an. As the majority of Chang'an people who have no personal interests, it is easy to be led by the nose by the rumors.

Li Shimin became interested. He wanted to see why Xu Changsheng, who had been silent for so long, came here, so he said, "Yes."

When Xu Changsheng was staying outside, he was bored inquiring about the affairs of the Golden Palace, casually looking for topics, "Elder-in-law, is there anything important in the court meeting today?"

Gong Gongdao next to Xu Changsheng said, "There is really a tricky thing. In the last Turkic war, many horses in the Tang Dynasty had their hooves cracked. Now these wounded horses don't know how to deal with them. It's a pity to kill them, but they still don't know what to do. Can't work, His Majesty is having a headache."

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, a war horse with a cracked hoof?

By the way, there is no good road in the Tang Dynasty, horses are easy to crack their hooves, especially war horses galloping on the battlefield are even easier.

These horses with cracked hoofs, if they exercise a little, the wounds will open, and they can't work at all, and it is impossible for Datang to raise them for nothing.

So I can only kill and eat meat.

It's a pity that horse meat is sour and not tasty, and a good horse was very expensive when it was bought, and now it has become worthless all of a sudden. Therefore, how to deal with the injured horse is very tricky.

Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up. These wounded horses are useless in the eyes of others, but they are different in his eyes.

In Xujia Village, the uncles of the Xujia Village are still pulling the mill. Xu Changsheng had suggested buying some cows and donkeys to pull the mill, but the uncles of the Xujia Village felt that animals were too expensive. It's enough to work hard, and you don't need to spend this money.

But now, the scale of oil extraction in Xujia Village is getting bigger and bigger, the manpower has reached its limit, and there is still a serious shortage of labor. For example, they don't grow their own beets now, but hand them over to several neighboring villages. Let them be responsible for the acquisition.

Xu Changsheng's eyes were bright, this batch of wounded horses is good, just bought them back for grinding and transportation.

The point is... These wounded horses were originally going to be killed for meat, right?The prices are ridiculously cheap.

Xu Changsheng's eyes were bright and he became rich.

At this time, a father-in-law had already run over, "Xu Jiazi, His Majesty let you in."

Xu Changsheng recovered and nodded.

Walking into the main hall, I heard the father-in-law in the hall say in a strange voice, "Xuan Xu's son sees you."

Xu Changsheng walked to the front of the hall, followed by Dabai, "Mr. Xu Changsheng pays his respects to His Majesty."

He is still an official of the Eastern Palace. Although he is not a minister of the Golden Palace, he can call himself a minister.

Li Shimin was taken aback, looking at Xu Changsheng's face that was so "swollen" that he couldn't recognize it, he was a little puzzled, how did that Xu family son who was carved in powder and jade become like this?

Some officials of the aristocratic family were also a little surprised, thinking, the Xu family must have been very anxious in the past two months, and his face was distorted by anxiety.

Li Shimin couldn't help asking, "Xu Jiazi, what's the matter with your face?"

The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he replied, "Your Majesty, there are hornets making trouble in Xujia Village, Changsheng recklessly poked the hornet's nest, but accidentally..."

Li Shimin: "..."

Baiguan: "..."

Xu Family Village was like this now, yet Xu Changsheng was still in the mood to poke a hornet's nest.

The officials of the aristocratic family also looked confused. Shouldn't Xu Jiazi be worried now, not thinking about eating and drinking?

How could it sound so chic, and ran to poke a hornet's nest.

It seems to be a little different from what they imagined.

In their hearts, Xujiacun must be gloomy now.

Don't say it, it's really different from what they imagined.

Ordinary people would definitely be more worried about the family business, but Xu Family Village is a bit different, they are more worried about Xu Changsheng's safety.

They know better than anyone the reason for their current transformation.

They all came from hard times, and they haven't returned to the level where they were too poor to eat, so why worry?

It was true that Xujiacun had been gloomy for a few days, but that was because he was worried about Xu Changsheng's health. Since Xu Changsheng recovered a little, when he was running around with a group of children in Xujiacun all day, the sorrow had long since disappeared.

After Xu Changsheng replied to Li Shimin's question, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is worried about how to deal with the wounded horses returning from the battlefield?"

Li Shimin sighed, "We can only follow the usual practice and kill..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Changsheng turned his face, "Your Majesty, how can this be so? They are heroes of the Tang Dynasty. They galloped on the battlefield and won the battle, but they ended up like this. How sad and wronged they are. .”

sad?injustice?

A group of people looked at each other.

On the other hand, the generals have a lot of feelings in their hearts. To them, these war horses are like brothers who were born and died. They obviously returned in triumph, but...

Li Shimin was also a little sad. He had also been on the battlefield and knew how soldiers felt about horses, but... Datang really couldn't waste resources on raising useless wounded horses.

Some officials of the aristocratic family sneered, Xu Jiazi's reputation was damaged, and he wanted to redeem it?

It's a pity...it's just a joke. How to deal with these injured horses has always been like this. Even if His Majesty couldn't bear it, he couldn't continue to raise them.

In other words, Xu Jiazi showed kindness, but His Majesty would still order the slaughter of horses. Xu Jiazi achieved his kindness, but where would His Majesty be placed?

He must have hated His Majesty.

The mouth corners of the officials of the aristocratic family raised, it was really a foolish trick.

Someone came out, and the corner of his mouth raised, "Xu Jiazi is so heartbroken about these "heroes", why don't you buy them?"

Seeing him dig a hole for Xu Jiazi to jump into, and Xu Jiazi's dilemma, in their hearts, who would be stupid enough to buy these useless wounded horses?

Xu Changsheng glanced at this person, from the Wang family?I heard that when I joined him not long ago, I danced really well.

In the main hall, many people felt that Xu Jiazi was reckless, thinking that they were willing to kill the war horse bought at a high price?

The price when I bought it hurts when I think about it now.

While shaking his head secretly in his heart, a voice came from above the hall, "Okay."

Everyone was taken aback, and looked at Xu Changsheng blankly.

Is Xu Jiazi crazy, wanting to buy a useless wounded horse?

Some officials of the aristocratic family were even more surprised. Could it be that Xu Jiazi was in such a hurry to restore his reputation that he didn't hesitate to buy useless horses to gain favor with generals?

I sneered in my heart, maybe I can have more favor with the generals, but more people will think that Xu Jiazi is like a fool, there is no place to use more money?

Xu Changsheng said shyly, "But our Xujia Village is poor, and I hope His Majesty will not sell these injured horses too expensively, otherwise Xujia Village will not be able to afford them."

Li Shimin was stunned, "Do you really want to buy these wounded horses? You should think about it clearly, they can't help your Xujia Village transport goods."

He thought that Xu Changsheng wanted to buy and transport goods. After all, Xujia Village had a large volume of goods shipped, but he probably didn't know that a horse with a cracked hoof could not transport goods.

Xu Changsheng nodded, expressionless, but happy in his heart.

Injured horses are useless in the hearts of Tang people, and horse meat is sour, and no one eats it, so the price is simply "cabbage" price.

In addition, he bought a lot, so he had to give him a discount no matter what.

Some officials were still surprised and asked, "I don't know what is the use of Xu Jiazi buying these wounded horses?"

Xu Changsheng remained expressionless, "It is of course useful."

Fearing that Xu Changsheng would repent, the officials of the aristocratic family hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, since the Xu family needs these wounded horses, why not sell them to him, and everyone can get what they need. The imperial court doesn't have to worry about how to deal with these wounded horses, and the Xu family can also get what they want."

Could they be unhappy that Xu Jiazi fell into the hole they dug like this?

Although the price of the wounded horses is low, but the quantity is large, the boss will have to pay a lot of money. See if the Xu family will not faint from crying at the loss this time.

Li Shimin frowned, "Xu Jiazi, are you sure?"

For Xu Jiazi, he still has a good impression, so it is inevitable to remind him.

But seeing that Xu Changsheng was very firm, he said, "In that case, let's pay [-]% of the market price."

It must cost a lot of money to buy so many.

When Li Er spoke, it was settled.

Xu Changsheng's eyes were all smiles, he got rich, it was easy to pick up.

The officials of the aristocratic family also had smiles on their faces. Xu Jiazi made such a big joke, let's see how he will have the face to go to the Golden Palace and appear in Chang'an in the future.

What Xu Jiazi is so smart, bullshit, he must not know that these injured horses have no other use other than wasting fodder, they are simply a burden.

He even couldn't help but jokingly said, "Congratulations to Xu Jiazi for buying so many good horses."

Xu Changsheng didn't know what they were thinking under their cheeks, he thought, they should be twitching now, but he didn't know what expression they would have when they saw the wounded horse in their mouths being healed by him, and when they went to and from Chang'an .

He replied, "Thank you, Congratulations."

Family official: "..."

Do you really think you are congratulating him?It was hopelessly stupid.

At this time, Li Shimin's voice came, "Xu Jiazi, are you here for these injured horses this time?"

Xu Jiazi was able to help the court buy these wounded horses, Li Shimin saw Xu Changsheng's expression became more kind.

Xu Changsheng raised the corner of his mouth and replied, "Your Majesty, no."

Li Shimin was taken aback, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Xu Changsheng glanced at some officials of the aristocratic family who were so happy that they couldn't hide the expressions on their faces. They were still happy for cheating the Xu family.

Xu Changsheng tidied up his clothes, and said respectfully, "Return to Your Majesty, I have a mission to go to the palace this time, and I have participated in the four major families of Cui, Lu, Wang, and Zheng. Disregarding human life is against the law of heaven.”

As soon as the voice came out, Yaque fell silent.

Why does this sound so familiar?Isn't it the original words of Cui, Lu, Wang, Zheng and some family officials to attack Xu Jiazi not long ago?

Xu Changsheng sneered in his heart, come on, hurt each other, let you see what it means to be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

The officials of the aristocratic family who danced fiercely just now were a little confused, and the happy expressions on their faces froze.

Xu Jiazi, this mad dog, what exactly does he want to do?

To participate in their four major families at once, don't you know how powerful their four major families are in the court?

Xu Changsheng sneered in his heart, no matter how powerful the aristocratic family is, this is also the Li family, it's fine if they don't keep their tails between their legs, and they are still showing off in the court.

Xu Changsheng handed over an opportunity to beat these aristocratic families, and I believe His Majesty Li Er should be in a good mood.
