"Rareless!" Li Shimin shouted loudly with a blue face.

Li Cheng regarded this as saying the eunuch, bowing to Li Shimin in a manner.

"See Father."

Seeing this, Li Shimin's face looked even more ugly, and he looked at Li Chengqian, who was bent with his eyes solemnly, and he did not speak.

Li Chengqian, who was flushed after a while, raised his head and looked at Li Shimin innocently and said, "Where did your father, the emperor, and the sons, not to make you unhappy?"

The ministers in the hall have been shocked since Li Chengqian pushed the door open. Everyone knows that Li Shimin is angry these days. Why did this person come here to find trouble?

If others dared to be so presumptuous, there would be no need for Li Shimin to speak. At this time, some ministers stood up and scolded him angrily, and then asked Li Shimin to punish him more severely. However, at this time, no minister dared to swear his head.

Li Shimin held it in for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Hmph! Do you still have me in your eyes when you forced into Liangyi Palace?"

Li Chengqian still opened his eyes and said cutely: "Father, why did Erchen break into Liangyi Hall? Don't he want to see Erchen?"

Li Shimin's chest was undulating when he heard this, and he almost vomited. After enduring for a long time, he said angrily: "I am dealing with important matters in the military and national affairs?"

No matter when, I don’t want to see my son, I have to have a suitable reason, especially for the emperor who abides by the etiquette.

Of course, if Li Chengqian had no basis in seeing Li Shimin's face alive, that would be another matter.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian directly found a place to sit down and said, "What military and national affairs does Father have? Is it impossible for my son to predict?"

Another good question, almost choking Li Shimin to death, it is unquestionable for the adult crown prince to participate in politics and make decisions.

Although Li Shimin is not a loyal elder, he still can't stand up to play with his son who is a scoundrel.

Li Shimin's chest was undulating rapidly. After enduring for a long time, he calmed down a little and said, "Since you are here, we are going to discuss together. I also know that it is your idea to increase the grain price. Let's arrange to lower the grain price now."

After saying that, Li Shimin turned his face to the side and stopped looking at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian did not look at Li Shimin but looked at other ministers and said, "You think so too?"

At this time, there were six ministers including the Shangshu Right Master Gao Shilian, Shangshu Cheng, Yuwen Jie, the chief secretary of the Pingzhangyuan, Yang Shidao, the secretary of the Zhongshu Secretariat Ma Zhou, the minister of the Junxia Provincial Secretary Zhang Chengxing, Hou Junji, Li Shiji and other six ministers, Gao Jifu, Lai Ji, Han Yuan and other ministers of the Zhongshu Secretariat, Zhu Suiliang, the Huangshu Secretariat. Most of these people clearly support Li Chengqian's current emperor after becoming the crown prince.

But at this time, Li Chengqian asked him, he stopped talking, and even Cheng Mingzhen, who had been in charge of the matter, was obviously because they had reached an agreement.

If Li Chengqian did not come to Li Shimin and his orders, Cheng Mingzhen would definitely reduce the price of grain in the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ grain store to four or five dollars per dou.

Seeing this, Li Shimin sneered and showed a mocking expression on his face.

Li Chengqian treated it as if he didn't hear it, looked at the ministers and said lightly: "It's really healing and forgetting the pain."

Zhu Suiliang heard this and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the ministers and others have already asked the Secretariat of the Process. It is very convenient for Luoyang to transport grain from Chang'an, so there is no need to set the price of grain so high."

Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Mingzhen after hearing this. A hint of embarrassment flashed across Cheng Mingzhen's face, but he soon faced Li Chengqian calmly again.

Li Chengqian knew that if he didn't show some real skills today, he was afraid that he would not be able to change the ideas of these people.

Li Chengqian slowly stood up, then looked around everyone with a condescending look, and coughed gently, "The Lonely King knows that you think that the prosperous Zhenguan era is rich in resources and low rice prices. I thought you would change after you experienced the snow disaster in Chang'an in the past year, but I didn't expect you to hold this idea."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Cheng Mingzhen stood up and bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "I have simply removed the grace of Your Highness the Crown Prince to be known to you. Even if you die thousands of times, it is difficult to repay Your Highness the Crown Prince's grace--"

"Okay!" Li Chengqian heard him say that he raised his hand to stop him and said, "Your Gate King Jian is because you have made contributions to the country and govern the people. You are transferred to Chang'an to enable you to display your talents better and do more for the court and the people, not to let you die for the Lone King.

Moreover, the Gu Wang transferred you from the governor of Mingzhou to Chang'an. In the eyes of Gu Wang Wang, the governor of Mingzhou is not a rash person. That place is not only an important place to defend the Turks in the north but also a parent and official of tens of thousands of people. It is very important. You can be the governor of the Gu Wang there to transfer it."

"What the prince taught me is a lesson!"

Faced with Li Chengqian's merciless and serious criticism of Cheng Mingzhen, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

Everyone in the hall felt uncomfortable when they saw Li Chengqian scolding Cheng Mingzhen with such a bit of Wen Jue, and even Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

Li Shimin thought the advice of some ministers was ridiculous, thinking that it would be fine if the emperor did not listen to nonsense like this every day.

Wei Zheng told him that if you listen to both sides, you will listen in a little way. If you want to listen to both sides, you must first let the officials at the bottom dare to speak. Maybe they sometimes say nonsense, but as long as the emperor has the patience to listen to the nonsense of the officials at the bottom, the ministers above dare not cover up the sky. When he wants to deceive the emperor, he must consider the consequences of being exposed.

This seems to be a stupid method, but it can make many smart and extremely generals and ministers dare not make any tricks in front of the emperor.

Li Shimin has always regarded this as a golden rule. Now, seeing Li Chengqian interrupting a third-rank minister in public, it is naturally very unhelpful.

Li Chengqian ignored these things but continued: "Last year, the Lone King said that the low food prices caused the people to no longer grow food. The shortage of food in Guanzhong came from this. Have you forgotten?"

"The Prince's concern was naturally correct, but starting this spring, His Royal Highness personally led the people to reclaim wasteland in Longshouyuan.

Then the gentry families in various parts of Guanzhong were severely rectified. Now, except for necessary rents and transfers, basically all the food is grown in various places. In recent years, there will be no problem with the food in Guanzhong. So please rest assured by Your Highness." Ma Zhouyi stood up and bowed.

Ma Zhou's words were completely quiet, but no one except Li Chengqian noticed that Ma Zhou's words revealed that he had investigated the matter.

Li Shimin and other ministers noticed that "a struggle between Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji this spring actually played a role in making the gentry in Guanzhong obedient." This was something Li Shimin could not imagine before. When Li Shimin thought of this, he couldn't help looking at Li Chengqian.

He saw Li Chengqian standing there and nodding slightly when he heard Ma Zhou's words. He thought Li Chengqian had been persuaded by Ma Zhou and said, "Since this is the case, don't argue anymore."

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "The father is not a son-in-law who is competing for this matter, but he wants to reason with them." Then he paused, Li Chengqian continued, "Yes, the people of Guanzhong have grown food. The Lone King can not worry about the shortage of food in Guanzhong in the past few years, but how many years will it take?

Don’t worry about food shortage or worry about anything else. One acre of land in Guanzhong can produce two ducts of grain, which is only twenty bulls. Not to mention that tenant farmers and ordinary farmers also have to pay two bulls of official rent, right?

There are still sixteen dou left, and the merchant will collect one dou and give two money, which is thirty-two dollars. Even if a man from Guanzhong can grow thirty acres of land, then his family can earn 960 dollars a year without eating or drinking?

If his family had four people, his family would eat 14 dan of food a year, and he would only have more than 600 yuan left in hard work a year.

Do you think this is fair?"

When Li Chengqian asked this, the monarch and ministers in the palace were speechless. They were still thinking about whether Li Chengqian's accounts were correct.

Seeing that they had nothing to say, Li Chengqian continued: "The Tang Dynasty has been stable for so many years, so why should the people of the Tang Dynasty live a richer life? What's wrong with the increase in grain prices?"

Gao Jifu stood up and bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, the world is not the only farmers, and those who buy food are really pitiful."

Li Chengqian looked at Gao Jifu and nodded, "Then the Lone King said, whoever wants to buy food to live, the officials in the court definitely don't have to buy food, because your salary is full of food.

Those who really need to buy grain to live are merchants and some craftsmen. If they are craftsmen in the court, the court will raise some wages for them, and the craftsmen who are caring for merchants also ordered them to raise some wages for them. Wouldn't that be fine?"

Li Chengqian's words were taken for granted, but they shocked His Highness Man.

Yuwen Jie stood up with a wry smile and bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is dedicated to serving the country and the people, but the court will inevitably find it difficult to do a thorough job at that time. If things involving tens of thousands of people are not done well, a big mess will occur."

When the other ministers heard this, they nodded. The good guy hasn't figured out the price of grain yet, but he still has to take care of the craftsmen and merchants?

Is it impossible for court officials like the Tang Dynasty who advocate streamlining administration and delegating power to imagine that the court would have to bear so many responsibilities, so wouldn’t the world be in chaos?

Li Chengqian was also stunned when he heard this, thinking: This is the Tang Dynasty's too advanced management model because it does not have supporting science and technology (such as communications, etc.), and it will be unacceptable to the local environment.

And it would be meaningless to continue debate like this. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "I will be here today. Don't lower the price of grain within ten days. The Lone King wants to invite the elders of Guanzhong to discuss this matter together."

When everyone heard this, they thought that Li Chengqian admitted defeat and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin also snorted coldly and said, "I can give you ten days, but in ten days, the price of grain must be reduced to six dollars per bull."
