"What does it mean that there is no major change? Everything is easy to say..." Li Tai murmured in his heart.
"Translation into human words, do I have to take care of you no matter what happens, or is there no one like me!"
This person is Li Shimin, and he is even his own father. It shouldn't be the latter...
Li Tai was originally open and honest when he was there, but when he left, he became nervous.
Before Li Tai walked out of the Eastern Palace, he stretched out two jade-like hands from behind and covered his eyes. His voice was tender but a little naughty, saying:
"Guess who I am!"
"Changle, don't be naughty!" Li Tai patted his hand covering his eyes and said with a little doting.
"Hmph!" Li Lizhi pouted and cried, saying, "After Brother Qingque moved to the Yue Palace, I won't come to see Lizhi! Brother Chengqian is the same. He reads articles in the house every day, what are the things that are so good!
”
"Okay, okay, it's my brother's fault!" Li Tai said, "I've been a little busy dealing with locust plague recently."
"Is that true..." Li Lizhi looked at Li Tai with big eyes skeptical, as if she didn't believe Li Tai's words.
"Yes, yes, surely!" Li Tai said, "I remember that Changle's birthday was not long after the autumnal equinox. Brother has prepared a whole year to prepare a birthday gift for you, and I will definitely give you a surprise at that time."
When Li Lizhi heard this, she showed a naughty smile to Li Tai, jumped back a few steps,
"I'm sure. If I cheat Lizhi, then Lizhi can only cry and go to Aye with a sad cry."
"Okay, okay, if your brother Qingque lied to you, Aye would definitely not be able to spare me!" Li Tai stretched out his hands to express his surrender.
"Then I'll go and ask Brother Chengqian for a gift. Brother Qingque will see you next time."
Li Lizhi turned around decisively, her tears instantly stopped, and then she went to Li Chengqian's palace with great pride. It was obvious that Li Chengqian would be the next unlucky guy.
Li Tai shook his head, looked at Li Lizhi leaving, and smiled a little dotingly.
Li Tai understood that Li Lizhi would usually marry the Changsun family at the age of thirteen or fourteen in a few years.
It can be said that unless the Changsun family rebelled, no one could stop this matter.
Because Changsun Wuji represented not only the nobles of Longxi, but also the nobles of meritoriousness. This dual identity made Li Shimin naturally appease the two forces at the lowest cost of marriage.
Except for Changsun Chong who likes to hang out with Li Chengqian, this brother-in-law Li Tai who can almost book a reservation is really not bad.
Seeing Lizhi, Li Tai came to the East Palace with her husband, so she would go to her mother's place to greet her.
Although I am already a prince and have the qualification to return to the palace freely, I usually go back to the palace at the fifteenth day of the lunar month to meet Empress Changsun.
At the other moments, I still lived a tragic career of working and studying.
When meeting Empress Changsun, she let herself escape from Yan Qinli's claws and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really rare today, why are you here!"
Empress Changsun was originally taking care of Li Zhi, who was less than a month old, but when she saw Li Tai, she was surprised and curious.
"It's almost the autumnal equinox. When the weather gets cold, the locust plague will basically be calmed down. At least this year's locust plague has passed. So I was called by Aye to reply to the East Palace, and after the government affairs are over, I will come to see my mother!"
Li Tai said in a low voice.
"You Aye is really, what's the matter, pulling you, an eight-year-old child to work!" Empress Changsun said angrily.
"Don't be angry, my mother, this is all happy!" Li Tai looked at Li Zhi, and even stretched out his finger to touch Li Zhi's gradually spreading face, but he was immediately hit by Queen Changsun.
"Don't mess around, the Ching Nu is still young, but I can't stand the turbid air!" Empress Changsun looked at Xiao Li Zhi with great care.
"With the pheasant, my mother will not want Qingque anymore!" Li Tai pouted and wrote a lot of unhappy when he heard Empress Changsun's words.
"Ask for a fight! It's less than a year since the opening of the mansion, and it has become so naughty!" Queen Changsun said, "You have to discipline it well!"
"No, no, mother, you have a good rest. Qingque is not worthy of your anger. I will leave now, leave now!" Li Tai said.
"Come back!" Empress Changsun shouted lightly at Li Tai.
"Oh?" Li Tai walked back obediently, then stood quietly aside, waiting for Queen Changsun's hair to fall.
Queen Changsun turned around, took out a jade box from the cabinet and stuffed it into Li Tai's hand.
Li Tai took the box and felt that the weight on the box was quite heavy. He couldn't help but look at Empress Changsun in confusion.
Queen Changsun said, "I heard from Shimin that you will be short of money recently. This is my usual savings. You can take it first. As long as you do the important business, it will not be enough to go back to the palace to tell me."
"Yeah! Mother." Li Tai nodded and did not refuse to take it from Empress Changsun.
Queen Changsun watched Li Tai leave and sighed relieved, because Li Tai was the prince and could not live in the palace for a long time. In addition, her performance in elementary school annoyed Kong Yingda. She was afraid that he would lead the bad atmosphere, so she asked him to open it in advance.
I went to live outside.
Therefore, compared to Li Chengqian, Empress Changsun felt more sorry for Li Tai.
Thinking of this, Empress Changsun shook Xiao Lizhi who was still asleep and murmured,
"Zhinu, you may be similar to Qingque in the future. When you grow up a little, you will leave the palace."
At this time, Li Zhi was still sleeping soundly, opening his mouth slightly, as if he was holding bubbles in his mouth.
Li Tai returned to the Yue Palace with the jade box given by Empress Changsun.
Li Tai opened the jade box and was stuffed with gold nuggets. If he used it to buy land, it would be more than enough to buy 2,000 acres at the current price in Chang'an, which is really a big deal for a family.
However, after Li Tai took this thing, he stuffed it into the dark grid, without any intention of touching the money.
For some reason, Li Tai was full of confidence in his ability to do this, as if the difficulties in front of him were nothing.
Of course, Li Shimin's commendation to Li Tai was to enable Li Tai to practice the agricultural institution and even be willing to provide material assistance.
But the others who fought against the locusts this time also received rewards, and these rewards were also issued one after another in the following time.
For example, when Qin Zhong returned to the Dianma Office, he was directly promoted to the Dianma Order, which was from the seventh rank.
Don’t underestimate the seventh-rank official. Generally, county magistrates of small counties will be the seventh-rank official. For ordinary people, they will strive for their goals for the rest of their lives.
Of course, there are also people who easily meet this standard, but for people without background, they must basically have outstanding abilities.
For example, Ma Zhou became the official of the King of Yue Mansion of the sixth rank, and was in charge of the affairs of Gongcao, the servants, and the warehouses. He went from white clothes to the sixth rank in one breath, and he was able to reach the top in one step. Of course, Li Shimin also wanted to let him follow Li Tai.
Yan Qinli took the ride and became a sixth-rank Yue Wangfu literature. While studying in elementary school, she was also responsible for schooling classics and attending articles.
Lu Anshou was still Sima, but he was rewarded with three hundred silk, which made Lu Anshou very happy.
The highest reward was Yu Zhining. Although he did not work and only handed over that beautiful article, he taught the King of Yue to be successful and promoted from the chief of the King of Yue’s Mansion to the fourth-rank Zhongshu Shishu.
However, there is no new King of Yue to be dispatched here for the time being, which is a good thing for Li Tai.
To be honest, Ma Zhou was a little stunned when he saw the imperial edict given to him, but in the end he expressed his gratitude.
The seventh-rank official is a relatively large threshold among formal officials, because this appointment must be reviewed by the court. Unless it is a special situation, the appointment of seventh-rank official has been carefully considered.
Especially the seventh-rank official in the Prince's Mansion had to go through the emperor's goal, and Li Shimin asked himself to stay with Li Tai's side.
Ma Zhou knew that he was afraid he could only walk the King of Kings. Even if he climbed to the position above the King of Yue in the future, he would probably not be able to take off the direct sign of the King of Yue Mansion.
Ma Zhou took a deep breath and did not complain at all. He just quickly accepted all this. Since he could only follow this path, then go all the way to the dark.
For Ma Zhou, he only hopes to have a platform that can display his own talents. At least now, only King Yue can give this platform to him, and no one can guarantee whether the platform given to him by King Yue will become bigger and bigger!
Ma Zhou naturally moved to the Yue Palace for granted and began to take over his responsibilities in the Yue Palace.
After Li Tai came back and put the jade box up, he called Ma Zhou over as soon as possible, because Li Tai felt that he was full of motivation and really wanted to do a big fight!
But after Li Tai called Ma Zhou over, Ma Zhou's bright eyes looked even more fierce than Li Tai!
Li Tai said, "Binwang, Aye has divided the chicken farm and coal mine farm into the name of the King of Yue Mansion, and allowed me to build an agricultural school with these profits, and also allocated an additional thousand acres of fertile land for my use.
, We can do a big fight this time!"
"That's great!" Ma Zhou also said excitedly when he heard Li Tai's words, "If you have money, you have the foundation. Can you explain in detail the plan of the agricultural institution?"
"Okay! I chose the location of the school institution at about the location where Gaoling is located," Li Tai said, "This is the intersection of Jinghe River and Weihe River, with convenient transportation. At the same time, the area where Zhengbaiqu is located is not very far, and you can even use the canal
Boating.”
"Isn't it in Chang'an City... The Agricultural University is close to the fields, which is normal!" Ma Zhou nodded.
Li Tai continued: "Although the locust plague has been suppressed, this winter is the most difficult, and many people are likely to die this winter night and we will not see spring coming.
So we have to recruit some people to work, pay them food, and find ways to make them have a way out!”
"Where do we get so much work? And what should we do if there is food!" Ma Zhou was a little surprised when he heard Li Tai's words.
"It's really not possible to borrow grain from Sinong Temple. Aye gave me a thousand acres of land. I'll mortgage them to Sinong Temple!" Li Tai waved his hand and said calmly.
"It would be strange if they dare to do it!" Ma Zhou's mouth twitched, and he had no objection to Li Tai's plan.
After all, if it was just food, Li Tai would be able to borrow it from Sinong Temple.
"Then let them take advantage of the arrival of winter to cultivate land as much as possible and plant winter wheat!" Li Tai said.
"Uh... are we preparing to farm farms? Didn't we say we were at the school?" Ma Zhou said with a little confusion.
Li Tai said seriously: "I have never opened an agricultural institution. I want to spread the knowledge of agriculture.
So the few who do the best in the cultivation process should be the agricultural teachers we want!”
"I didn't drink today!" Ma Zhou murmured, "Why did you have auditory hallucinations?"
"There's no way. I don't even have teachers or textbooks now, so I can only do it like this!" Li Tai said.
Ma Zhou said anxiously: "King Yue, don't do anything randomly. Are you really going to build an institution? I sound like I'm preparing to build a city!"
"It's the city!" Li Tai stretched out his hand, as if describing the future of his school, and said excitedly:
“Our agricultural institution has countless houses and endless golden fields.
All students must be young, with the mission of not having starved to death in the world, and have the dream of changing the world.
They will open up a field of their own hands and spread the agricultural knowledge they have learned to farmers.
Otherwise, would I want to teach a group of nerds who only know how to memorize agricultural books?"
"Is there really a world in the world that will not starve to death?" Listening to Li Tai's description, Ma Zhou also felt a little longing.
"There will definitely be something, even if there is not now, there will definitely be something in the future!" Li Tai said, "Now, we are going to take this first step!"
"The King of Yue has such an ideal, and I, Ma Bin, have the honor to be involved in it, and do my best!" Ma Zhou sighed.
"I met you and I am lucky in this life!"
Li Tai said to Ma Zhou, "Because I have the first like-minded person!"
On this colder night, the two of them became more and more speculative.
Soon a preliminary plan was made, and the two talked until late at night, and Ma Zhou left reluctantly with the manuscript.
Li Tai yawned back to the room. Bai He had already warmed up the bed. When he saw Li Tai coming back, he got up and went back to the bed not far from next door to sleep.
"Baihe, are those white stacks collected enough to make a piece of clothing?" Li Tai said to Baihe.
"Enough, enough, I left one piece, and you sent the others to the chicken farm to make a cotton bed!" Bai He said.
"Changle's birthday is coming. I will make a cotton coat with white folds and hand it over to you!" Li Tai said.
"Here..." Bai He hesitated, "The King of Yue finally took a batch, don't you leave some for yourself?"
"Let's wait next year!" Li Tai said, "Okay, go to bed early, it's very late."
"Yeah!" Bai He nodded and didn't say anything more.
Li Tai lay in the sweet quilt where Baihe was sleeping warmly, and soon fell asleep.
There are still a lot of things waiting for me tomorrow. If winter really comes, it will be too late!
