Chapter 54 Unless that or something

The next afternoon, Liangyi Hall.

Li You asked to see Li Shimin.

"Son, please see your father." Li You said with a bow.

"You'er, come and sit down." Li Shimin said kindly when he saw Li You.

Looking at Li You in front of him, Li Shimin reached out and touched his head, whose hair was burned by the fire, and said kindly: "You'er, you're too reckless, be careful when doing things in the future. Your mother asked me to cry and asked me to discipline you well, and you won't be allowed to take risks in the future."

Li You was a little moved. His father's kind attitude made him feel a little confused. He almost forgot what he was coming.

After a few conversations between the father and son, Li You said, "Father, I am going to take up my post in Qizhou in advance. Don't worry, when I arrive in Qizhou, I will manage the place. I dare not say anything else. The economy there will definitely be good and the people will eat well."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You guy can eat it, I don't worry. I'm just worried about your temperament, recklessness, impulsiveness, and easy to cause trouble. In order to avoid you doing something extraordinary, I specially chose Wanji to be your chief secretary."

"Ah?" Li You was so depressed. He came to ask not to let Quan Wanji be the chief minister. He originally wanted to say that he would manage Qizhou well and pay more taxes in exchange for letting Quan Wanji leave. Before he could speak, he was blocked by Li Shimin.

He felt very bad and felt that it would be useless to say it, but he had to fight for it.

He said, "Father, I came here to say this. Quan Wanji's master and chief minister are not suitable for him. You know the character of Erchen, and he is indeed reckless and impulsive. However, Quan Wanji's personality is too strong, and it is difficult for us to get along with each other. I am afraid that we will fight after not saying three words."

Li Shimin said: "I have considered this matter. Quan Wanji is a bit stricter, but he is knowledgeable and rigorous in his work. Over the years, he has been very effective in teaching Li Ke.

I know your personality very well. People like Feng Suxin are basically not binding on you. They listen to whatever you say. They are just a sound tube that can't restrain you.

You are far away in Qizhou, and I have nowhere to reach. There must be a strong person to restrain you so that you will not make a big mistake."

As an emperor and father, Li Shimin was kind-hearted and hoped that Li You could govern the country safely.

Li You was so amused and crying that it would be useless to say anything else, so he had to say goodbye.

After Li You left, Li Shimin smiled proudly and said, "You bastard, I know you are a wild horse, so I have to put a chew on you."

Li You left Liangyi Hall and walked towards Chengtian Gate.

"Your Highness, King Qi." Fang Xuanling and Gao Jingming came towards him, and when they saw Li You, they greeted him.

Li You was in a bad mood and said, "Sir Fang, Mr. Gao." He continued to walk forward.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment." Fang Xuanling called him.

Li You had no choice but to stop and asked, "Sir Fang, what's the matter?"

Fang Xuanling said to Gao Jingming: "Master Gao, let's talk about it."

Gao Jingming said: "Your Highness, you also know the situation of the Ministry of Revenue. Last year's flood, the western expedition to Tuyuhun, this year's drought in Guanzhong, the Yellow River Flood in Hedong, and other places with large and small famines. The Ministry of Revenue is in a short position.

With your help, the drought in Guanzhong has become famous, but the tax revenue of the court has been greatly affected. When will this hard life be completely relieved?"

"Your Majesty summoned us to discuss the matter of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and see how to end this difficult situation as soon as possible. Your Highness will eat it, and see if these questions can be eaten?"

Fang Xuanling said half-jokingly.

Li You was in a bad mood and shook his head and said, "I can't do anything."

Gao Jingming was a little disappointed.

Fang Xuanling was a mature person and had long seen that Li You was not in a high mood. Although he didn't know why, he felt that Li You was talking angry.

He smiled and said, "Your Highness, the old man knows that you have a way. You are one of the smartest people in our Tang Dynasty. Can this little thing be a rare defeat for you?

Your Highness, you don’t know that if the people in Man Chang’an praise you for your ability, there is nothing that cannot be solved. You say you have no choice, who will believe it if you say it out?"

"Huh?" Fang Xuanling's tall hat made Li You excited. He asked, "Am I that famous now?"

Gao Jingming also saw it, and he said intriguedly: "Your Highness, it is definitely true. Even my 6-year-old grandson has heard of your name."

Li You couldn't help laughing, and he said, "I'm very low-key. Will I become famous even if I do this?"

Fang Xuanling saw that there was a door and smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't know. You have sacrificed yourself to save others. I don't know how many young ladies have moved. Even my granddaughter has asked about your birth date."

Li You was so excited that he started to burn the buns again. He said, "Hey, what a big deal, it's a little bit."

Gao Jingming was also excited, and he said, "I would like to ask Your Highness and I to meet with you to discuss solving the dilemma of the court."

Li You was about to agree, but suddenly remembered the unhappiness just now, and he said, "I won't go unless..."

Gao Jingming asked hurriedly, "Unless what?"

Li You said angrily: "You go and ask my father, he knows."

Fang Xuanling said, "Okay, Lord Gao and I will go to meet the saint and ask him and see what His Majesty said."

Gao Jingming said, "Your Highness, don't leave, we will go see you right away."

Li You was very happy. He made up his mind to negotiate terms with Li Shimin.

Fang Xuanling and Gao Jingming quickly walked to Liangyi Hall. After seeing Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I have discussed the issue you explained with Gao. There is no good idea for the time being. However, Your Highness King Qi should have a way."

Li Shimin said, "Then send someone to call him back and discuss it together."

Gao Jingming said, "Your Majesty, he refuses to come. He said that he will come unless he has something."

Li Shimin was stunned and asked, "Unless what?"

Gao Jingming said, "Your Highness the King of Qi said, you know."

Li Shimin suddenly understood what Li You was going to say and smiled and said, "This guy is a slut."

After saying that, he said to Wang De: "Send someone to call that bastard immediately and ask him to get back immediately."

Soon, Li You came back.

Li Shimin said: "King of Qi, the financial situation of the court has always been bad. Even if I am struggling to save money, I am always struggling. What can you do? Let me tell me."

Li You asked, "What's the matter that Erchen said?"

Li Shimin said: "Talk about the matter first, and I will consider it if I have done it."

Li You shook his head and said, "Let's just say it first."

Li Shimin glared at his eyes and said, "You bastard, I promised you, okay, tell me quickly."

Li You doubted Li Shimin's integrity and said, "Can you make a document for your son? "

"Bastard, I am the emperor, and I have a good word, will I still be able to pay my debts?" Li Shimin said angrily.

Li You said in his heart: "It's not only once that you have to pay your debt." He said: "Okay, Lord Fang and Lord Gao will be a witness to avoid the father's refusal."

Li Shimin raised his feet, kicked Li You's butt, and said, "Speak quickly, there's so much nonsense."

Li You said helplessly: "Father, the two adults, the key point of financial management is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and the focus is to increase revenue.

There are two main ways to open source: one is to improve labor productivity and the other is to develop new products.”

Seeing that Li Shimin and the two big guys were confused, Li You felt that it was too difficult to tell them about this, so he picked it up and said it directly.

He said: "The sons have a way to increase the grain production."

The Tang Dynasty was an agricultural society, and the food problem was the biggest problem. When he heard this, Li Shimin and others immediately focused.

Li Shimin asked: "How much can it be improved?"

Li You said: "Each region is different. The yield per mu of wheat in Guanzhong is 450 kilograms."

The Tang Dynasty's agricultural production technology was backward, with the average yield of wheat per mu of dry land and 250 kilograms of irrigated land.

After Li You finished speaking, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looked at each other without saying anything, their eyes full of shock.

Gao Jingming stood up all of a sudden, and he asked excitedly: "Are you serious?" Seeing Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling sitting steadily, he said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I have lost my etiquette, please atone for my sins."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay." Then, he said to Li You, "It's a formal report at this time, so don't speak nonsense."

When Li You saw the expressions of these people, he was a little scared. He was not afraid that he had said something wrong, but that what he said caused these big men to have a heart attack.

He said carefully: "Father, two lords, everything that my son said is true. However, please don't be surprised if you want to say below, otherwise, my son will not dare to continue."
