The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Shimin had a faint smile on his face.

Changsun Wuji didn't say this when they discussed this matter together.

It seems that he listened to what the queen said to him.

"At that time, Prince Changle guarded Liangzhou and connected to the border of the Tang Dynasty. He had many contacts with foreign tribes and smuggled countless domestic and foreign goods. If the salt and iron business rights were in the hands of others, it would be inevitable that someone would smuggle salt and iron for huge profits.

Especially trafficking to the grassland, this is absolutely not allowed to happen!"

Li Shimin's tone and attitude were very firm.

The Turks on the grassland are the enemies of the Tang Dynasty!

Their troops have always threatened the north of the Tang Dynasty.

"The hidden dangers of the Turks to the Tang Dynasty have not been eliminated. If someone in the Tang Dynasty sells salt and iron to the Turks during this period, it will not be of any benefit to the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how many Tang soldiers will be sacrificed in the future to deal with the Turks." Li Shimin said solemnly: "It's not just the Turks. There are so many foreigners around the Tang Dynasty who are eyeing the Tang Dynasty. Now they are all enemies who are spying on the Tang Dynasty.

They are now staying outside the border and not harassing the Tang Dynasty, just because the Tang Dynasty showed a stronger attitude than them. They are weak and their weapons and armor are not as sophisticated as the Tang Dynasty army."

"If they get iron and make better weapons, then do you think they will have the courage to invade the Tang Dynasty?"

"No matter when it is, I will not give them a chance! All dangers, before they happen, once they are noticed, they must be strangled! Instead of using swords and weapons right away, human life is so precious, the lives of my Tang Dynasty soldiers are so precious!"

Li Shimin shouted at them.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with the attitude shown by Changsun Wuji before.

However, today, the two of them talked about it privately in Liangyi Hall, and the knot was untied.

Changsun Wuji knelt on the cushion and breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty said these to him, even if the tone was a little tough, it was good.

This means that he has passed this hurdle.

Just give up this benefit honestly. The Changsun family has other industries. Although these two things make a lot of money, they can't rely on these two things to support the Changsun family.

Holding it in his hand, his heart was up and down, so he just left it like this.

"I asked you to preside over the revision of the law before." Li Shimin said slowly: "This law should also be explained in detail. The matter of privately selling salt and iron should be revised again."

The laws of the Zhenguan Dynasty have been revised since the first year of Zhenguan, and they are still being improved and have not been revised.

Li Shimin thought about the matter of the court's recovery of the salt and iron business rights. He decided to start with Changsun Wuji and revise the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

This is the beginning. The rest will be done slowly.

Those aristocratic families are not easy to deal with. It will take at least one or two years to boil the frog in warm water.

"Yes." Changsun Wuji responded.

At the gate of the Duke of Ying's mansion, Li Shao led two maids out of the house and bowed to Li Fu when he saw him.

"Greetings, King Jingyang."

"Today, you and I are traveling together, so there is no need to do this." Li Fu smiled and said, "Please."

Li Fu was a little nervous when he met Li Shao again and faced her face to face.

To put it bluntly, this is his future daughter-in-law.

But now he doesn't know much about his future daughter-in-law.

It feels that Li Shao, who has changed into a hairpin skirt, is still a little different from Li Shao by the Qujiang Lake.

Li Shao, who was standing by the Qujiang Lake, was dressed in white, heroic and free-spirited.

But now, when they met again, she was a little more gentle, as if she was no longer the same person.

Li Fu was wondering if it was because of the engagement that Li Shao had concealed his true nature when they met today.

Perhaps, he was not the only one who was nervous.

Li Shao got on the carriage, and Li Fu rode on the side of the carriage.

Li Shao lifted the curtain of the carriage.

"King of Jingyang..."

"Miss Li, you might as well call me Huairen, King of Jingyang, it's too unfamiliar, and besides, Miss Li is my lifesaver." Li Fu sat on the horse with a hearty smile on his face.

Hearing this, Li Shao remembered that day and smiled.

"Okay, Huairen."

"Yes." Li Fu nodded in response.

"Does Huairen have any plans today?" Li Shao asked.

"Of course there is." Li Fu said with a smile: "How about we go to the teahouse first?"

"Okay, everything will be arranged by Huairen." Li Shao said with a smile.

Li Fu was dazzled by this bright smile.

If Li Shao had not been wearing a hairpin skirt today, he would haveI was afraid that Li Fu would be nervous and would definitely bow and call him "Brother Li".

Wasn't it the same on the Lantern Festival?

It was Li Shao who used a fake name to hide his identity.

I thanked Brother Li for a long time.

The group walked towards the teahouse in the East Market.

When they arrived at the door of the teahouse, they looked at the tea shop across the road.

Well, the business is still so good.

Li Shao got off the carriage and looked across the road curiously.

She had heard of the tea shop across the road and had been there before. When she saw the price of the tea with her own eyes, even though she was from the Duke of Ying's mansion, she couldn't help but gasp.

Expensive, very expensive.

And I heard that there were ten special teas, and they were auctioned in the teahouse.

Even more expensive, so expensive that it is unimaginable.

"Is the tea shop across the street in Huairen Mansion?" Li Shao asked.

"Yes." Li Fu smiled and said, "I used to buy tea in Chang'an City, but I really didn't like the brewed tea and couldn't get used to it, so I studied and made some tea myself. Unexpectedly, people in Chang'an City liked it."

"It's really making a fortune every day." Li Shao sighed.

Li Fu also smiled.

It's more than making a fortune every day. When you see the account book of the shop in the future, you will know that this word is used to describe the tea shop.

It's small, the pattern is small.

Everyone entered the teahouse.

The teahouse is still lively. Many literati and scholars gathered on the first floor, drinking tea and chatting, talking about classics, history, and poetry, and even writing poems on the spot. The atmosphere is very warm.

The private room that Li Fu asked someone to prepare is on the third floor.

The best private rooms in the entire teahouse are all on the third floor, facing the street, with corridors, and you can overlook the street view of the entire East Market.

Sitting here, watching the street view while drinking tea and chatting, it is more comfortable and quiet.

Under the corridor facing the street, the whole long corridor is separated from each other. The eaves are semi-open, with two steps above. Behind it is a clean couch with a cushioned backrest. In the middle is a low table, on which tea sets and cakes can be placed.
