Li Shimin had to take care of the large population migration after all.

So Chen Zhengtai was summoned into the hall. Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others in the hall had obviously been waiting with Li Shimin for a long time.

There has been some discussion between the monarch and his subjects before.

It has to be said that a consensus has been reached between the monarch and his subjects. Chen Zhengtai is very talented in economics and is simply a financial expert.

Of course... some things are not considered by the care. Although the court cannot do without wealth, it cannot blindly explore the source of wealth.

Chen Zhengtai met and saluted. Li Shimin sat upright and nodded at him and said, "I'm going to discuss you today. Zhengtai has been very glorious recently."

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said, "Why did Your Majesty say this?"

"There is a report here." Li Shimin held the report: "Four days ago, there were 1,600 young and strong people out of the pass. Three days ago, there were 1,130 more. Two days ago, the scale was even larger, with more than 1,900. Just yesterday, there were 1,500 more people. So many farmers, who are not engaged in production, have left the pass and are going to Xining. Let me tell you, what should I do with you?"

Chen Zhengtai could only smile bitterly: "There is enough animal power in the pass, and Shuofang also has enough food. Now the treasury is abundant and the grain production is rising year by year. The people can barely be able to avoid food shortage. If a large amount of manpower is still allowed to grow food crazily, Your Majesty... My son is only afraid that the valley will hurt farmers, and this food is flooded, which may not be a benefit. Instead of this, it is better to let the people find another way out while ensuring sufficient official warehouses, arable land and farmers. What's wrong with letting the people find another way out? There was indeed a gold mine in Haixi. The veins were large, and this place was not far from Tubo. Today, if I don't buy this gold in the Tang Dynasty, it may be used by Tubo in the future."

Fang Xuanling and others were still guessing in their hearts that Chen Zhengtai would find some reason today, but now they realized that they were still too naive and that these tricks were really one after another.

Let’s start with the poor grains and hurt farmers. Once grain is flooded, the food prices will inevitably reach a low point. The farmers’ inputs and outputs on the land cannot be compensated by harvesting grain. Will there be chaos?

In addition... Tubo was moved out. Like Goguryeo, Tubo was a major concern of the Tang Dynasty. If you don’t dig, would you let the Tubo people dig?

When the Tubo people get gold, they will inevitably purchase supplies in large quantities. Chen Zhengtai cannot guarantee what they will do in the future.

Li Shimin was speechless for a moment.

Chen Zhengtai said again: "And... what I am most worried about is... the land of Hexi... this land of Hexi... I got it... just a few years ago, there were no Han people there. In such a vast land, there were few Han people. If this continues, what should I do if the Hu people or Tubo people re-engage in Hexi? Give up Hexi? If Hexi, the Hu people will be neighbors with my Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong. Therefore, in order to make my Tang Dynasty eternal, we must stick to Hexi. And to stick to the foundation of Hexi, we must strive to enrich the population of Hexi. If we want to enrich the population of Hexi, it is better to tempt it than to threaten it."

Li Shimin pondered: "What are the trends in the Tubo Kingdom recently?"

"Tubo is still doing the Jing porcelain trade. But my son is thinking that the Jing porcelain trade is probably unsustainable. Once the Jing porcelain trade is completely cut off, it will be when Tubo competes for Hexi. If such a good fertile land cannot be used for our Tang Dynasty, what will the Qianqiu Historical Pen in the future evaluate the Qianqiu Shi Bi in the future?"

A great historical writing...

Fang Xuanling already knew that when Chen Zhengtai threw this out, His Majesty must have a heart to be on the same side as Chen Zhengtai again.

Li Shimin nodded indeed: "This statement also makes sense, enriching Hexi... It can indeed be a screen for my Tang Dynasty. But... you should act carefully. I read the news newspaper, and there are a lot of exaggeration. If those young and strong people really go to Hexi, they will inevitably have complaints when they see that this scene is different from that in the news newspaper."

"Please rest assured, your Majesty, I have compiled a book to Xining to make them settle for the young and strong. The land of Hexi is vast and rich in resources, and it is a place of heaven. Such a fertile land... is sparsely populated, and it can be said that it is effortless to settle these young and strong people."

Li Shimin nodded and said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Qing family, I think what Zhengtai said is not unreasonable."

"This..." It was Fang Xuanling's turn to smile bitterly: "It's true that there is some truth, but... everything needs to be relaxed and relaxed. Therefore, you must be careful and not ignore it. Uh... Okay, I have nothing to say."

This is empty talk, because it is like not saying the same thing.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "The land of Hexi is indeed crucial. If Tubo or Huhu want to seize it, the court will never stand by and watch. Just be honest and don't worry."

Now that Li Shimin has money and food, he has long been itchy, but he is just unable to decide what to do, so he will try the knife from whom he wants to first.

"But..." Li Shimin paused here. He glanced at Fang Xuanling: "Fang Qing, is that memorial still there?"

Fang Xuanling said respectfully: "Your Majesty... the memorial has been sealed. This is just a child's nonsense. Your Majesty must not take it seriously."

Li Shimin's face looked extremely solemn: "At a young age, I dare to speak so wildly. Is this still a child? If the court does not pursue the matter and just seal the memorial, I will be unable to calm down."

Fang Xuanling seemed very worried. He didn't seem to want to make a big deal about what Li Shimin mentioned, but just smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on?" Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say.

Chen Zhengtai rarely participates in such discussions between the king and the minister, so when he hears the two of them say something, he is a little confused for a moment and can't help but interrupt.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling both looked at Chen Zhengtai.

Then Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "It's just a little bit of a matter. There is a child in Taiyuan City who arrogantly accused His Highness of Jin to rebel..."

"Is this a small matter?" Li Shimin seemed very dissatisfied with Fang Xuanling's big incident and said suddenly: "He is suing my son!"

All of a sudden, Chen Zhengtai probably understood the reason for this matter.

The King of Jin was Li Shimin's fifth son, named Li You. This son was named Prince of Yiyang in the eighth year of Wude. After Li Shimin became the emperor in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was appointed as King of Chu. In the second year of Zhenguan, Li You gradually grew up, he immediately appointed him as the governor of Youzhou and the King of Yan. Ten years after Zhenguan, Li Shimin seemed to love this son quite a lot and wanted to make him the King of Qi and the governor of Qizhou.

This Qizhou was later Shandong, and it was the most prosperous, which shows how much Li Shimin loved him.

But who knew that it was stopped by others. Li Shimin was suppressing the aristocratic races, and the aristocratic races seemed to have been fighting against Li Shimin all the time.

Therefore, when Li Shimin wanted to enfeoff Li You as King of Qi, many rumors spread on the market, and Li Yuanji was mentioned.

Li Yuanji was Li Shimin's younger brother. When Li Yuan was there, he was appointed King of Qi. After that, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin not only killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng, but also killed the brother.

So the fact that his fifth son was granted the title of King of Qi was because there were too many rumors and unnecessary associations might be caused. So Li Shimin had to give up and had to change Li You to the governor of Taiyuan and the title of King of Jin.

Li Shimin loved this son very much, and Taiyuan was the hometown of Li. He sealed his fifth son in Taiyuan, so he naturally had the intention of appeaseing this son.

Moreover, Taiyuan is relatively close to Hu, so he has stationed heavy troops. The Li family is not even at ease with their own brothers. Naturally, they are afraid that the Taiyuan governor will be respectful. After thinking about it, it is most appropriate to let his own son come to guard the situation.

But how could he know that His Highness, the governor of Taiyuan for only three years, actually impeached his son to rebel.

This obviously angered Li Shimin.

If it were a court minister, the impeachment of this matter might attract Li Shimin's attention and he felt that he should check it.

But the person who impeached was actually a eleven or twelve-year-old child.

A child impeached the emperor's own son... and directly called him a rebellion, which caused a lot of criticism from the court.

Li Shimin was furious.

Not to mention this son... he always felt well-educated and reasonable. The most important thing is that our Li family... did there be so many rebellions? Isn't this a father-son relationship that separates the royal family?

What do you know, a little kid?

Li You...

Chen Zhengtai is relatively unfamiliar with this person, after all, Li Shimin has many sons.

Therefore... he really couldn't remember this person, but... he remembered that there was a prince treason during the Li Shimin period in history.

Who is it, but I can't remember it.

Chen Zhengtai didn't take it seriously, but just smiled and said, "But I don't know who this child is, so bold?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "It's just a child from Di's family in Taiyuan, not worth mentioning."

Fang Xuanling added from the side: "Called by Di Renjie."

Di Renjie...

These three words immediately made Chen Zhengtai a little confused.

By the influence of film and television dramas, people regard this Di Renjie as an existence like a detective Sherlock Holmes.

After hearing his name, Chen Zhengtai was well-known.

In the eyes of others, Di Renjie is naturally just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, not worth mentioning.

But Chen Zhengtai doesn't think so, because he believes that anyone who can become the prime minister and escapes unscathed in history, and who can become a famous minister, must be an extremely smart person.

Such a person... under the cruel struggle, he not only maintained his political bottom line and did what he should do, but also was trusted by Wu Zetian. Do you think he is powerful?

When talking about Di Renjie at this time, Chen Zhengtai had to pay attention to it.

Li You...Li You...

Could it be that the legendary rebel is really the prince named Li You?

But why, others did not expose it, but Di Renjie exposed it?

Is it possible... Because Li You is Li Shimin's beloved son, others are afraid of causing trouble, so they deliberately turn a blind eye?

And Di Renjie... On the one hand, others are smart and see the clues. On the other hand, he is still young and thinks it is important. After all, once the rebellion is rebelled, the rioters will inevitably cause trouble to Taiyuan. Taiyuan is the hometown of the Di family, so he took the risk to expose it?

He looked at the angry Li Shimin. Li Shimin obviously did not believe that his beloved son would rebel.

Because this is unreasonable.

Who is I? I am invincible in the world. My son, who occupies only one Taiyuan, will he rebel? Is his mind flooded?

Does he have the courage?

Isn’t this just like delivering food?

So for Li Shimin, this is an extremely vicious thing!

Since he thought his son had a family relationship with him, he would not rebel. Taiyuan was weak and did not dare to rebel. Then this memorial was obviously a person named Di Renjie who was attracted by the public.

But... it's just for a child to attract attention, but he directly distracts from the relationship between father and son of the Tian family and lets the people of the world watch this joke. Is this a crime of great rebellion?

On the other hand, Fang Xuanling did not agree with this because Fang Xuanling believed that this was just a child's nonsense. He also believed that in theory, Li You could not rebel unless Li You was kicked in the brain by a donkey.

But he has a different perspective on this matter. He thinks that this child should be protected. Judging from the handwriting in the memorial, this child is a very hardworking person, and his father and grandfather are also very famous in Taiyuan. If this matter is directly a disaster to a child, how will the people in the world view the court?

Therefore, the king and his minister were considered to be on the verge of Mao. For this matter, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling had already argued a lot.

Changsun Wuji sat aside and watched the fun. He had no good impression of Li You. The reason was very simple. He would never have a good impression of any son who was not born to Empress Changsun.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "No matter what, this son cannot be innocent. He should be taken down and imprisoned first, and then ordered the Ministry of Justice to discuss the crime. The state has its own laws. How can such false accusations be despised?"

Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, if the Ministry of Justice inquiries, will you tell the public about this matter? What I mean is..."

"Your Majesty, can you say a fair word?" Chen Zhengtai finally broke the argument between the king and his minister at this time.

Li Shimin knew that Chen Zhengtai was his disciple and a royal relative, so he naturally helped me.
