The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

They can relax and learn things, so as not to push the children too hard as Li Fu said, and they can also let the children go out to see a wider world and get in touch with more things that they can't get in touch with in the palace.

Li Shimin also felt that this trip was a great good.

If it was in the past, they had been raising children in the palace. How could they say in front of him that even if the people of the Tang Dynasty worked hard and never slacked off, one mu of land would only produce less than two stones of grain.

How could they understand that the lives of the people were not easy.

These are what they know and understand after they personally went to work in the fields and saw it.

There is another point that Li Shimin cares more about.

That is what Li Fu said to Li Chengqian, only when you know more and see more, you will not be deceived by others.

As an emperor, you can't be deceived by others.

From the expenses of the inner court to the expenses of the entire court and the local expenses.

These are all real money.

Being deceived is not only reflected in money, but also in government affairs.

As an emperor, he dares not be ignorant of family affairs, national affairs and world affairs, but he is not omniscient.

If someone takes advantage of the loopholes and deceives the emperor, it will lead to a disaster.

That is why we should encourage the ministers in the court to dare to give advice and dare to tell the truth.

When a person deceives the emperor, there will always be flaws and be exposed. But if the emperor only wants to hear good words, and the whole court follows the emperor's wishes and only says good words, deceiving the emperor together, this will be a very terrible thing.

In the past, when Li Shimin was not an emperor, he had many opportunities to go out and visit the people, or go out riding and hunting, and he would pass through many places.

But after becoming an emperor, he no longer has the freedom to go out riding and hunting frequently.

He has to deal with government affairs in the palace every day and discuss state affairs with court officials. In this way, how can he contact the people?

With fewer opportunities to contact the outside world, all the knowledge of the outside world comes from the court.

But people can lie.

Even with the Hundred Cavalry Division, many things still need to be judged by one's own cognition.

Li Fu takes the prince out to see more things, which is to improve the prince's cognition, which will be of great benefit to the prince in the future.

"Second brother, you are insisting that I be Chengqian's teacher." Li Fu smiled helplessly.

Li Shimin has already said this, so there is no reason for him to refuse.

Doesn't the emperor want face?

What's more, now is the best result.

The purpose of not having to punch in to work every day has also been achieved.

Anyway, everything is free, whenever you are free, you can come to teach the children.

It is indeed free.

Moreover, as the prince, Li Chengqian, in Li Fu's view, the development trajectory of history is indeed a pity, otherwise, he would not want to change Li Chengqian's ending imperceptibly.

Now it's good, he doesn't have to be imperceptible.

The prince's teacher, he can change openly.

If other teachers bully Li Chengqian again in the future, Li Fu, the prince's teacher, can confront him.

Who is not the prince's teacher?

I am the prince's uncle.

"What do you think?" Li Shimin stared at Li Fu and asked.

"Okay, you have said so much. If I still refuse, Chengqian will be sad." Li Fu spread his hands.

"Oh, you are not worried about rejecting me, but you are worried that Chengqian will be sad. Why don't you think about whether I will be sad?" Li Shimin laughed angrily.

"Second brother, you are a big man, you can't be too fragile, right? What's there to be sad about?" Li Fu laughed.

As he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered.

Li Shimin, it seems that... he really knows how to...

When the ministers committed crimes, he cried and said that he would pardon his old comrades, and even knelt down to God for forgiveness.

A bunch of ministers followed suit and knelt.

Who is willing to kneel? Then we can only persuade him, saying that it's okay, your old comrade can live.

The ministers began to make excuses for him.

His wife is gone, so he has to build a high platform, where he can stand and look at his wife's grave, and build a pagoda to pray for blessings.

When the prince rebelled, he cried, and was willing not to kill the child, but only demoted him to a commoner and saved his life.

In his opinion, if he survived, there would always be a chance to let him be a rich and idle person again in the future, right?

Unfortunately, he didn't survive.

Generally speaking, apart from the two years at Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin's heart was still quite soft towards his own people.

"Well..." Li Fu pondered: "The main reason is that I was worried that you would capture me as a man and let me enter the palace every day. What's the difference between that and going to court every day, so I refused. Later, you made it clear, so I agreed, don't be sad."Li Fu's last two sentences were inexplicably coaxing.

Li Shimin snorted and didn't respond.

It was settled that Li Fu would be the prince's teacher.

Li Fu had one more official title, the prince's tutor, the second rank.

"Brother, I'm both the Silver and Green Guanglu Doctor and the prince's tutor, so do I have to take two salaries?" Li Fu asked.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Fu.

"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten about it." Li Shimin said, "Just think of it as a promotion."

"Ah? It's not a part-time job." Li Fu asked.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Shimin pretended to be angry and said, "You still want to receive two salaries? My brother, the court is not rich now, you know this, and besides, do you need this little money?"

Li Fu was speechless.

Point?

A Silver and Green Guanglu Doctor has a salary of nine mu of official land a year! Four hundred dan of grain every month.

This is just land and grain, and there is money. The third-rank monthly salary is 5,000 coins, food is 1,100 coins, miscellaneous expenses are 900 coins, and other miscellaneous expenses are 17 or 18 strings.

Even if a fly is small, it is still meat.

The Tang Dynasty pays officials in three types: land, physical objects, and money.

"Second brother, this is not right." Li Fu said, "Even if the money is small, it is what I deserve for my hard work as an official."

"So, you are not holding two positions, but being promoted from the third-rank Silver and Green Guanglu Doctor to the second-rank Prince's Junior Tutor." Li Shimin laughed.

There is only one salary.

You don't want me to save it.

"Okay, you have a point."

"That's the truth, but it's not what I say that makes sense." Li Shimin laughed.

Li Fu was just teasing Li Shimin.

He really didn't need that little salary now. He thought that Li Chengqian was good in everything except his father's thick skin.

If he had learned this, he wouldn't have been crushed by the setbacks later.

People still have to learn to be shameless.

If people are shameless, they are invincible.

Go ahead and file a complaint. Impeach? Impeach?

As long as everything is handled properly, it's none of your business if I eat, drink and have fun in private. I am thick-skinned, so what? I didn't delay the work.
