The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The more Jie Li looked at the golden seal in his hand, the more he liked it.

"Good, good, good, really good." Jie Li showed an excited smile on his face.

"In the past, we sent people to tell them about something, and sometimes we forgot what we said. Now we have evidence."

"Yes, good."

"This golden seal also represents the supreme authority of the Khan." Zhao Deyan smiled.

He still used the same tricks in front of Jie Li.

Tell Jie Li that if you want to be strong, you must centralize power, and you must first stabilize the country before you can resist foreign aggression.

In Zhao Deyan's view, this theory is flawless no matter where it is placed.

What do the grassland people know? Seeing that the Tang Dynasty is strong, as long as he tells him that the Tang Dynasty uses this trick, can't he scare them?

No matter what the grassland will be like in the future, at present, he is trusted on the grassland and has status in front of Jie Li.

In the future, even if the grasslands are not doing well, I still have a good reputation in the Tang Dynasty and in front of the Tang emperor.

I will not suffer any loss.

The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is getting colder.

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun asked the maid to spread the bedding that Li Chengqian and Li Tai had sent.

Li Shimin came in from outside the palace and greeted him. The maids waiting on the side began to change his clothes.

"Your Majesty, is your administration going smoothly today?" Empress Changsun stepped forward, replaced the maid, and changed Li Shimin's clothes herself.

"It's going well. There's nothing major happening in the court recently." Li Shimin said, "How are you here?"

"The charity is going well. I invited the officials' wives, and they are all very interested in it. After the candidates for the charity were decided, the people on the list have also participated. Now, people are busy preparing supplies for the winter. However, some things still require the cooperation of local governments. For example, how many people can't make a living after the disaster? When we do things, we can also deliver things to them. This is considered doing good deeds."

"If there is no statistics, the things will be distributed, or there will be problems in the middle. Everyone has good intentions. If things are not done well, it will not be the same thing." Empress Changsun explained.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

"Yes, in the future, these things will not be easy to deal with. I will order the officials to cooperate with you as much as possible." Li Shimin said, "In order to avoid the counterproductive effect in the end, everyone will leave in displeasure, which will be a joke."

Empress Changsun nodded silently.

Arriving on the couch in the inner hall, Li Shimin looked at the bedding on the couch.

"Is this, a new bedding?" Li Shimin asked curiously, and then smiled: "Yes, it's cold now, so I have to change to thick bedding, but this looks good."

Li Shimin reached out and pinched the quilt.

This is different from the fur coat I used to sleep on.

"This was sent by Chengqian and Qingque. They said they made it when they were on the farm. Isn't cotton planted on the farm in Jingyang County this year?" Empress Changsun smiled.

Li Shimin suddenly realized that Huairen had written to him about this matter. He was going to leave the gardeners in the palace, and most of the seeds were taken from the palace. They were planted on the farm in the spring.

"This is the lining, is it cotton? It's so soft." Li Shimin couldn't let it go.

"Yes, seeing that it was getting cold, I asked someone to spread it and try this new thing. If it works well, this cotton can be promoted in the future and more people can benefit from it." Empress Changsun said: "Cheng Qian said that the yield of this cotton is not small, and the warming effect is also very good. It can not only be used for bedding, but also for cotton clothes in winter. It is said to be warmer than reed fluff."

Li Shimin nodded seriously.

"Then let's try it. If it works well, I will discuss with Fang Xuanling and others to see how to let the people use it." Li Shimin said.

However, there is a lot of land now, and it doesn't matter if we grow cotton, but what about food?

At present, the manpower of the Tang Dynasty is limited........

When Li Fu mentioned Gaochang Kingdom and wanted to grow cotton there, Li Shimin didn't care.

There is so much land in the Tang Dynasty, why bother about Gaochang?

Manpower is the foundation and the most important.

The land of the Tang Dynasty is still short of people.

"The emperor has also sent new bedding." Empress Changsun said: "Chengqian and Qingque are filial."

Li Shimin smiled when he heard it.

"It's all because of Guanyin's teaching."

In early winter, there was no major event in the court, so Li Shimin planned to go out and relax.

Speaking of going out, I thought of Li Fu's manor.

Simply call Changsun Wuji and others to go to Jingyang County together, and also plan toStay in Jingyang County for a day or two and relax.

With such a good thing, Changsun Wuji and others would naturally not refuse.

If there is something in the court, a fast horse can reach the farm in two hours, without delaying the delivery of the letter.

So, Li Shimin took them, took more than a dozen cavalry officers, and rode to the farm in Jingyang County.

Li Shimin was coming, and Li Fu didn't receive any news at all.

When Li Shimin and his party arrived at the door of the house, Li Fu knew that the emperor was coming.

Then when he arrived at the front yard, he saw Li Shimin and his party.

Li Fu knew it in his heart.

It turned out that this was a group of people who came to collect money.

The emperor came himself, and several of his right-hand men followed him.

This required him, the King of Jingyang, to do his best to be a good host and provide food and accommodation.

Seeing these people, Li Fu understood.

"Old Zhao, notify the kitchen to prepare quickly and clean up the south wing." Li Fu instructed Old Zhao with a smile on his face.

"Yes." Old Zhao responded and hurried to clean up and prepare.

The group came to the hall of the house.

"Last year, you said that you should be able to move into the new house on your farm before winter. When I passed by, I saw that your new palace was also built. Why are you still in this old house?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

The new Jingyang Palace on the farm has been under construction for more than two and a half years. If it is still under construction this year, it will be three years.

With the financial resources of the Jingyang Palace, plus so many manpower, and the Yan brothers who are in charge of the craftsmanship, everything is arranged properly. It will be completed within three years.

"There are a lot of things to do this year. We originally planned to move in before the New Year, but the follow-up work has not been completed, so we are still working on it. However, most of the craftsmen have been dismissed, and there is not much work left." Li Fu said, "It doesn't make any difference whether we move this year or next year. Good things come to those who wait."

"I was thinking that if I come this time, I might be able to catch up with your housewarming party." Li Shimin joked with a smile.
