The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Wu Liangye, do you know what is the standard of a successful man?" Li Fu looked at Wu Liangye beside him and asked.

"Money and power." Wu Liangye said: "This should be considered success, isn't it? People are constantly pursuing this? Once you have something, you will want more."

Li Fu nodded.

"You can say that, but how about more specifics? BMWs, houses, good fields, beautiful wives and concubines?" Li Fu said calmly.

Wu Liangye agreed.

"So, people should have ideals and goals in life, and know what they want to do. Otherwise, it will be boring if they don't make some efforts."

Wu Liangye was puzzled.

"Then, Your Highness is doing so much now because... you are bored?"

Wu Liangye couldn't believe his own thoughts. If that was the case, then His Highness... how boring he must be.

"It's half because I'm bored, and half because I really want to do something." Li Fu said, "This manor was not like this before, but in less than three years, some changes have taken place, and in the future, it will change even more."

"It's a very fulfilling thing to see the surrounding environment getting better little by little, and the farmers under my control getting better."

There was some pride in Li Fu's tone.

"Now, I have a title and an official position. Even if I don't do anything every day, I am content with a small fortune. I have food and drink, I won't starve, and others can't bully me."

"It is because of this sense of accomplishment and pride that I am tossing these things on the manor, and some things will gradually become clear to you in the future."

Li Fu is a modern soul. What good things has he not seen?

As for the so-called antiques, he was just an ordinary person, with no appreciation ability, and couldn't tell what was good or bad.

Those things in his warehouse are all "antiques", but in this era, they are valuable, but they don't have that much added value.

As for the manor under his command, before he had the title, Li Fu was just an ordinary citizen, thinking about how to live, and the manor was his foundation.

Now that he has money, he wants to drive the entire manor, even if it is just a development game.

Otherwise, in this Tang Dynasty, apart from watching their magnificent events, there is really no sense of participation.

It doesn't feel good to always be a prophet and stay out.

So, when the opportunity is right, Li Fu will participate, experience it personally, and change it.

Otherwise, what's the point of coming here?

Strictly speaking, no one in this Tang Dynasty can really understand him.

So, Li Fu is lonely in his heart.

He can only do some things to make himself less lonely.

A modern person will feel extremely bored if all electronic products are confiscated.

Not to mention being thrown into the Tang Dynasty.

Now, even if all the money earned from business was squandered, Li Fu still had no worries about food and drink thanks to his title, official position, and fiefdom.

So, what was there to be afraid of?

Li Fu came to the construction site and asked the foreman when the project would be completed. From the house to the doors, windows, and basic furniture, could it be completed before winter?

After getting a positive answer from the craftsman, Li Fu had an idea in mind.

Back at the house, he found Lao Zhou, told him the date, and asked him to allocate a batch of money from the warehouse. When the time came, he would let the guards in the house set off to Jinyang and bring their family members in Jinyang here.

Before the New Year's Day, they would decorate the new house they were allocated and move in.

As for the resettlement fee, it should also be reserved in advance. When they return from Jinyang, it will be distributed according to the standards of each household to buy the necessities of life.

Li Fu returned to the manor, and he didn't care about anything in Chang'an.

When other wealthy families in Chang'an sent invitations to the Jingyang Prince's house, they learned from the gatehouse that the Jingyang Prince was not in Chang'an and could not meet guests.

Li Shimin also knew about the things in the Jingyang Prince's house.

"This kid expected that many people would want to make friends with him after the battle, so he ran back to his fiefdom in advance." Li Shimin said.

"Isn't it good that the Jingyang Prince did this?" Changsun served Li Shimin on the side.

"I am not a narrow-minded person. I can't tolerate him making friends with many nobles in the court. Just make friends as you want. What's wrong with that?" Li Shimin said: "It's good that he left. There is only Yan Rang left in Da'an Palace."The people in the Ministry of Works are also careful and cautious in their work. From the beginning, the Prince of Jingyang's ambition was not to be in the court. Going back to the farm to avoid the trivial matters in the court was in line with his personality." Changsun said with a smile. "By the way, have you figured out the things in the palace?" Li Shimin asked. The maids who served in the palace before always looked absent-minded and made mistakes repeatedly. No matter how good Li Shimin's temper was, he couldn't stand this. "Although the palace is different from the army, rewards and punishments must be clear. Otherwise, if you make mistakes everywhere, it will cause chaos one day." "I have punished those maids who made mistakes." Changsun said: "Your Majesty, it's late, you should rest first." Li Shimin nodded, and then lay on the couch. "Your Majesty, do you think those soldiers who died in battle have a list? ”

“Sometimes, it’s not complete. Some people don’t know whether they are missing or escaped. People who died in battle are sometimes hard to find because of the vast area. Some of them are missing, or they are killed in battle.

Why are you asking this?”

“The whole world collects bones. How can the family members know whether the bones are their family members?” Changsun asked.

“The soldiers all have name tags. The bodies have rotted, but the clothes and belts are still there. If you find the name tags, you will know the surnames.” Li Shimin responded.

“No wonder.” Changsun responded.

“No wonder what? "

"I heard from the female officials that during the Wude years, the world was in constant war. When your majesty first came to power, he collected the remains of the world to calm the people. However, when the remains were found, the families knew about it. Many palace maids in the palace were so sad that they were in a trance when they learned about the death of their fathers and brothers in the war..."

Li Shimin asked Zhangsun to investigate the palace.

Finally, the reason was found, which was Li Shimin's policy.

After hearing this, Li Shimin could no longer sleep.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were all family members of the fallen soldiers.
