"I!"

"Li Shimin!"

"Determine to be an acting emperor who has no emotions!"

"But this time, I didn't catch up with the scene..."

…

In the royal study.

Li Shimin had a drooped face, and there was a hint of depression between his brows.

Next to her, Empress Changsun obviously wanted to laugh. After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't hold it in. She finally covered her mouth with her hand and let out a chuckle, saying with a hint of joking: "Why don't I go get a bronze mirror so that Your Majesty can take a picture of you?"

Look at you, you have an unhappy look on your face."

Li Shimin snorted sadly.

Queen Changsun’s smile became more and more trembling...

After half a day passed.

Li Shimin still seemed to be in a bad mood.

The majestic emperor looked up to the sky, his eyes fixed on the roof beam, and kept thinking like an old woman, with a face full of resentment: "It shouldn't be, how could it be? I have obviously not appeared yet.

Why did this drama end..."

Long sigh!

Feel sorry for yourself!

Empress Changsun's face twitched as she smiled.

It has been said since ancient times that a wife knows her husband better than her, especially a smart woman like Queen Changsun. She accompanied Li Shimin out of the palace happily today, but the couple came back full of disappointment. Li Shimin was like this after he came back. How could the queen not know what was in her husband's heart?

Lost.

After preparing for such a long scene, I originally thought it would be the finale, but in the end, I was late.

It was like a punch hitting cotton.

Everyone feels uncomfortable...

…

The queen was still snickering, but not as evil as before. Smart women all know that men are like children sometimes. Even if they have become the emperor of ninety-five years, they still retain a part of their hearts.

Childlike innocence.

At this time, you need to coax.

She picked up a cup of tea and placed it in Li Shimin's hand with gentle eyes. Then she stood up and stood behind the emperor, gently squeezing her husband's shoulders with her hands.

Rouju said: "Your Majesty, please don't be disappointed. In fact, this is good. Although we failed to catch up with a scene in the Cheng Mansion, this matter has come to a conclusion after all, which can provide food and clothing for hundreds of thousands of men and women. Your Majesty

You should be happy about this."

"I didn't say I was unhappy!"

Li Shimin's face was still melancholy, and after a long time he said angrily: "I just feel that things succeeded too quickly. I haven't even appeared yet, and these people don't know how to wait..."

Empress Changsun smiled again and said happily: "The co-authorship has to wait for you to appear before this matter can be considered complete?"

Li Shimin subconsciously turned around and said rather proudly: "That is a major event involving more than one million acres of land. If you are not careful, it will empty out the wealth of many people. As the emperor in charge of the Tang Dynasty, how can I not give it to them?"

One pass?"

Empress Changsun said softly: "But your Majesty, you also know that there are dozens of families involved in this matter."

Li Shimin suddenly became frustrated again.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Yes, there are dozens of families involved."

Empress Changsun gently squeezed his shoulders and said softly: "So the pressure of this matter seems to be very high, but if each family shares a small amount, it will not be so great..."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, then suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Hey, I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, seem to be a bit dispensable."

The emperor was obviously still feeling lost.

He had been preparing for a long time to cooperate with Gu Tianya in acting.

A smart woman knows how to change the subject at this time.

But seeing the queen continuing to squeeze Li Shimin's shoulders, she suddenly seemed to think of something difficult and deliberately said with worry: "Your Majesty, I am really worried. It is a cold season right now. Over there in the north

It is said that dripping water can turn into ice... In such harsh weather, what will the people who rush to Youyun do?"

As expected, Li Shimin frowned and subconsciously said, "Yes, the weather is very cold now."

Empress Changsun sighed and said quietly: "The reason why those families are willing to go to the north to open up wasteland is not actually because of the pity for the suffering of the men and women. The reason why they want to buy the share of the wasteland is because they value our brother-in-law's ability. After all,

, everyone knows that there is money to be made by following Gu Tianya. As long as there are benefits to be gained, the family does not care about the bitter cold."

"But..." The Queen paused for a moment, then sighed quietly again: "But those people sent by the family are not."

Li Shimin made another subconscious excuse and murmured: "The people can't help themselves!"

The emperor said this for a reason.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult for ordinary people to live on their own. Because the world was too difficult, people had to take shelter under the influence of a certain force.

For example, a certain Zhuangzi outside Chang'an City may be called any village, but it must belong to someone, and it is usually the territory of a certain aristocratic family.

Cui's Zhuangzi...

Wang's Zhuangzi...

Zhuangzi of the Cheng family...

Zhuangzi of the Qin family...

Wait wait wait!

A village is a village under the command of a wealthy family.

The common people are the common people under the names of wealthy families.

Although the people of the Tang Dynasty now own land, their daily lives still have to follow the steps of the wealthy families. The reason is very simple. In the difficult world, they need to stick together to survive.

And the aristocratic families are the main body of the group.

If you want the common people to live a better life, you must let them follow the footsteps of the aristocratic families. No matter how unwilling Li Shimin and the royal family are, this situation cannot be changed in a short time.

And this is precisely the reason why the people can't help themselves.

When a wealthy family decides to open up wasteland in the North, they don't care whether the people under their command are willing to travel long distances. They only need to designate which village needs to be dispatched in full, and then the people in the village will have to leave their homes honestly.

.

The land is thousands of miles away and is extremely cold. The aristocratic families don't care about these difficulties. What they care about is whether the people can reach the land of dark clouds in Gu Tianya before spring.

That's all.

But Li Shimin must care.

Because he was the emperor in charge of the Tang Dynasty.

…

At this time, Empress Changsun's eyes flickered, and she said tentatively: "The harem of the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to interfere in politics, so even if I have ideas, I dare not speak nonsense. However, those people who are going to travel long distances are so pitiful. They are affected by various aristocratic families.

Assigned, the whole family had to leave their hometown. And those aristocratic families only care about profits, they don't care whether the people are suffering or not, but this matter is a private matter..."

This time, various aristocratic families sent households to open up wasteland in the North. Strictly speaking, it was indeed a private matter.

Since it is a private matter, it is not easy for the court to interfere.

Li Shimin looked thoughtful.

Empress Changsun's eyes flickered a few more times, and she said cautiously and tentatively again: "Your Majesty, I really can't bear it. If this matter can become a matter for the court, maybe the common people will not stop when they are on their way.

It will be so painful..."

There were so many words that Queen Changsun did not dare to continue.

After all, the harem of the Tang Dynasty was not allowed to interfere in politics.

But Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Turn this matter into a court matter..."

The light in the emperor's eyes became brighter and brighter. He suddenly reached out and slapped the table in front of him, and said with a smile: "It should be like this."

He turned to look at Empress Changsun and said happily: "Mr. Guanyin, you are truly my virtuous wife."

The queen smiled softly and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to understand what to do?"

"I understand, I want to take the lead in this matter."

Li Shimin slowly stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the door of the imperial study room with his hands behind his back, and said with a solemn tone: "That brat wants to engage in the textile industry and plant cotton on a large scale in the land of the clouds, but he has neither money nor food.

There is a lack of population, so my Tang Dynasty has to support him. Although it is various aristocratic families who spend money to purchase the share of land reclamation, and although the people sent to open up wasteland belong to various aristocratic families, there is one thing that no one can deny, that is, these people are at the most fundamental level.
To be continued...
