The cemetery of Li's family did not occupy a large area. After Li Anguo held great power, he began to build it and moved all the tombs of his father and grandparents that Li could find here. It is pitiful to say that Li Anguo came from a poor family and after his development, the ancestral tombs that could be found were only fathers and grandparents. This can be seen from the few spiritual plaques offered in the family temple.

The graves of grandpa were already covered with clouds, but these pine and cypresses had just been planted around Li Anguo's tomb, which seemed a little unhappy.

Li Ze has always been guarding the tomb here for three years, but because of Li Ze's special identity, the Tang Dynasty is now preparing to launch a large-scale southern expedition, so it has been three years in March.

There is another person who should also come to guard the tomb, that is Li Zhan, Li Anguo's youngest son, and he should guard it for three years. However, Li Ze waved his hand and directly asked Li Zhan to go home. Of course, the reason was ready-made. Li Zhan was too weak and had to take care of him at home. How could he suffer in the cemetery?

As Li Ze, the eldest son of Li Anguo, since he has spoken, others naturally have nothing to say.

However, in order to show filial piety, Aunt Tao would bring Li Zhan here in person every ten days.

Aunt Tao was extremely grateful for Li Ze's decision. How could she bear to let Li Zhan live in such a thatched cottage for three years? Aunt Tao also saw from this incident that Li Ze really felt sorry for this little brother.

The cemetery is very lively today. When Aunt Tao came over, Xia He also brought Li Dan and Li Ning to visit Li Ze.

Li Dan was six years old, but Li Ning was the same year as Li Zhan. Three little guys met, but Li Dan was the leader, followed by two little tails.

"Their uncle and nephew are very close." Aunt Tao looked at Xia He and placed a thick stack of files on the table. Knowing that the two of them had something to do, they stood up: "I'll take care of them three!"

"I'm sorry, aunt!" Li Ze said with a smile.

"Silang Yan is so serious." Aunt Tao stood up and hurriedly left.

Looking at Aunt Tao’s back, Xia He said, “This is a blessing.”

Speaking of which, Aunt Tao is really lucky. From a maid with no status to a concubine of the prince of the noble Zhenzhou, who is now in a prominent position, although Li Anguo is gone, she has a son and a daughter. Her daughter Li Xin married Jin Buhuan, the son of Jin Mantang, and Jin Mantang's weight under Li Ze is self-evident. Whether it is because of Li Zhan or Li Xin, Li Ze must give this aunt enough respect.

"Knowing the importance of the matter and knowing the degree, you will naturally be blessed." Li Ze said: "Have the military expenses required been planned in place?"

"This is all the coordinated accounts." Xia He pushed the file in front of Li Ze, "I have prepared two years of military funds for you. Within two years, taking Chang'an will not have much impact on the economy of the entire Northland. Of course, the impact is inevitable. After all, as soon as the war begins, a large number of civilians will be recruited and the trade route will be cut off. Fortunately, our benefits to the northwest, northeast and overseas are increasing year by year, which can make up for most of the losses."

"Maybe it won't take two years!" Li Ze picked up the file and doubled it and said, "Thank you for your hard work. In order to raise so much military expenditure in the past few years, you have to raise so much military expenditure without affecting the overall economic development of the North. You have been scolded for being so bad."

Xia Heyan smiled: "If they want to scold, they will scold me, but they will not dare to scold me in front of me anyway. Since they are scolding behind my back, I will just pretend that I don't know. No wonder they are. Who told you, the prime minister, to do things only depends on the result and not the process? If you want to do something well, you naturally need money. It's easy to do things! If you don't have money, you have to do things well. They don't dare to scold you, so they have to scold me."

Li Ze laughed loudly and reached out to hold Xia He's hand, "It's really hard for you."

"In your words, you are so painful and happy!" Xia He said: "A few days ago, Gongsun Changming went to discuss matters with me. At the end, he said some strange words."

"What did he say?"

"You also know that Mr. Gongsun always talks around, but I understand the final meaning. He is urging me to find someone to take over the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible!" Xia He said: "I said that after a while, I may not be suitable to be the Minister of Revenue again."

"What do you think?" Li Ze looked at Xia He with interest.

Xia He lowered his voice and said softly: "Young Master, do you want to be the emperor? Then the lady is naturally the queen. I must be a concubine, right?"

"Do you like to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue or the Imperial Concubine?" Li Ze was the most comfortable in front of Xia He. The two grew up together since childhood. Li Ze was willing to talk to Xia He, but instead did not talk to Liu Ruyan. Because Xia He was fumigated by him since childhood, her true thoughts were the one that was closest to Li Ze.

"I actually like the feeling of doing things more!" Xia He said: "Young Master, even if you become the emperor and I become the imperial concubine, I don't want to stay in the deep palace, as it would be suffocating. I think the wife must be unable to bear it."

"You want to be the Minister of Revenue as a concubine? I'm afraid those ministers will not do it!" Li Ze said.

"Of course, the Minister of Revenue can't be regarded as the Minister of Revenue." Xia He said with some loss: "I like dealing with these numbers very much, but since I can't do it, I can only do it. At that time, I will go to Wuwei Academy to teach! While teaching, I will study the books about finance and economy written by the young master. Many things are now in a fog and completely unaware of the key points. Wuwei Academy is full of elites. I teach and discuss with them, and I may be able to understand more."

"It's up to you!" Li Ze said: "In life, the most important thing is happiness. Just as we told you when we were very young, the most important thing for people to live in this world is to be able to control their own destiny and do their own happy things. If we really get to that point and cannot do something according to our own will, what's the point?"

"Will Wuwei Academy move to Chang'an then?"

"Wuwei Academy will be split at that time." Li Ze said: "The Wuwei Academy is too big now. At that time, we should split them into professional academies, but only a lot of money is needed, and we can only do it step by step."

"The Financial Accounting Academy must move to Chang'an!" Xia He said.

"No problem." Li Ze spread his hands and said, "Then have you figured out who will take over your position?"

"Regarding this, Sun Lei is the most suitable, but his qualifications are a little less serious. More importantly, his background is too thin. So it is best to have Wang Mingyi go first and let Sun Lei assist him, and then Sun Lei takes over." Xia He said.

"Didn't that boy Wang Mingyi always want to be an official? Although he has now been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, his interest is still in business, right?" Li Ze said.

"I still let him have the title of Minister of Revenue. As for the matter, let Sun Lei do it. Otherwise, Sun Lei will not be able to withstand the pressure of other departments by then. Young Master, think about it, any of the other departments can be used to suppress Sun Lei tightly. But the Ministry of Revenue has to let someone who knows how to do it. If another person is replaced, I am afraid that I can't even understand the accounts for a while." Xia He shook his head and said, "Wang Mingyi has a big head and a iron head, just in front of him."

Li Ze couldn't help laughing: "You are willing to betray Wang Mingyi to protect your own line! This kid is a tough guy, but he is not stupid, so he is not willing to do it?"

"I will tell Wang Wenshu at that time." Xia He smiled: "Wang Wenshu will definitely be willing to let his son take this position, even if it is transitional."

"This matter can be slow, let's talk about it after we have conquered Chang'an!" Li Ze said: "Gongsun Laoer and the others have been mysterious for a while."

"In just over ten days, the inner guards caught several groups of assassins." Xia He was a little worried. "One of them has already sneaked to only more than ten miles away from here."

"I know." Li Ze said: "It would be strange if these people could come to me. Zhu Youzhen is now inferior, and he actually wants to use this method, which is really a joke."

"This is a huge profit. It failed, but it will cost a few death soldiers. What if it succeeds?" Xia He said: "The inner guard has increased its protection against the periphery."

"I have no problem here, but you should be careful when entering and leaving. When you go back, let Aunt Tao take Xiao Zhan to the Prime Minister's Mansion and find a reason for it. Where to protect the manor is not without loopholes."

"Okay." Xia He nodded: "We can't help but worry. Now that Dan'er Ning'er and I come out, there are hundreds of guards accompanying us. Unless the other party has an army, how can we pose any threat to us? In fact, every time this happens, I envy my wife very much. Even if the assassin comes to her, he will only give her head."

"Your pen is not inferior to that gun." Li Ze said: "Each has its own strengths, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums have their own charm."

Xia He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little proud.

"You can go back in one month, and the front line will also move." Xia He said: "I guess now, my wife is in Jiangnan and has started to take action."

"Ezhou naturally needs to be taken first." Li Ze said.

The two were talking, but Xia He caught Tian Bo strode in from outside.

"Tian Bo, can't he catch the assassin again?" Xia He asked.

"No, Mrs. Xia!" Tian Bo bowed slightly and said, "Young Master, Yuan Chang has sent back the news in a hurry. Our army has taken Kucha."

"Why Yuan Chang?" Li Ze was slightly stunned.
