The Tang Dynasty Chang'an was the imperial capital of the country. The ancients also said that there was a special name called Xiumu. Xiumu did not have to go to court, and both the ministers and the emperor would have holidays.

Although it was a holiday, he still had to be busy. For example, Li Shimin had to stay in the imperial study early in the morning to handle many memorials that had not been approved. Seeing that the autumn harvest was about to be approaching, the memorials reported from various places were not very wonderful. The emperor suddenly sighed and murmured bitterly: "When will the Tang Dynasty have enough food and clothing?"

After saying that, he couldn't get up and continued to review the memorials, so he stood up and stretched his feet hard. He was about to call an eunuch to serve him tea when he suddenly saw some shadows on the ground at the door.

The shadow was a human shadow, obviously it was revealed on purpose to let the emperor discover it.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud and said to the door: "Guanyin maid, are you? I'm going to do it three times a day, and I'm still annoyed if you don't get upset."

"It's not a concubine, this time it's not a concubine."

There was obviously the voice of Empress Changsun at the door, but the answer was open and he was talking lies with his eyes open. However, when a figure flashed, the queen pulled Yang Fei to appear and said again: "It's not that I am coming, but that I am the sister Yang Fei made me irritable. She ran to my concubine's bedroom early in the morning and cried. I had no choice but to take her to Your Majesty."

"snort!"

Li Shimin was so smart that he could not see through the queen's little thoughts. He reached out to the door and said helplessly: "Come in, don't be standing at the door. You will come at least three times a day in the past few days. Are you still afraid that others will accuse you of entering the imperial study room?"

The queen and Concubine Yang were both a little embarrassed, but they still raised the corner of the skirt and stepped into the threshold. After entering the door, they argued themselves first, pretending to be serious: "This is what Your Majesty allowed us to come in."

Li Shimin rolled his eyes in anger.

Changsun first stepped forward and walked all the way to the table where the memorials were reviewed. It seemed that he wanted to help the emperor organize the memorials, but in fact his eyes kept pursuing.

Concubine Yang followed him hurriedly, and said, "Sister, go and serve Your Majesty first. Just let the girl take care of these trivial matters. Hey, Your Majesty's desk is a bit messy, and you must classify the memorials. It is best to sort them according to the reports from various places, so that your Majesty can be easily reviewed."

As he said that, he started to sort out the memorials on the table carefully. He seemed to be very attentive, but in fact his eyes kept gurgling, obviously trying to find something, which made the memorials even more messy.

"Okay, okay!"

Li Shimin waved his hand helplessly and said, "I want to find Hebei's report and say it directly, there is no need to deal with it in a hypocritical manner. I tell you the truth. There is no memorial today from Hebei."

"What about Shandong?" Yang Fei blurted out.

Li Shimin seemed even more helpless, but he still said: "There are not from Shandong."

The queen and Concubine Yang were immediately discouraged and seemed listless when they packed up the memorials.

Li Shimin watched coldly, watching the two little women acting there, obviously disappointed, but pretended to be indifferent.

This made the emperor very interesting.

Li Shimin suddenly spoke, "Although there are no memorials, there are several letters sent by Feibi. But, the court affairs are important, and the concubines should not be invited to read..."

"ah!"

The two women immediately spoke out in surprise.

The queen's eyes turned and her eyes were handed to Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang's wonderful eyes flashed, and she suddenly said softly: "Your Majesty, I think you are tired. You stayed up late to review memorials, which hurts your eyes very much. Why not let me read it for you? Is it good to listen to it by your side?"

"Help me recite?"

Li Shimin seemed to be smiling and said lightly: "No need, just a few bird letters, I can barely support the reading."

Concubine Yang choked.

She looked at the queen pitifully.

After all, Empress Changsun was still brave enough. She suddenly raised her foot and walked to the emperor, stretched her hand forward, and said to Li Shimin: "Where is my son's letter, please take it out quickly."

This is very smart.

Not only did Feiqin deliver letters, but he talked about his son's letters, but he changed his statement slightly, and he cleverly avoided the shackles of the concubines who were not allowed to get involved in political affairs.

Of course, this is what Queen Changsun can do. If it were someone else, it would definitely not be so courageous. Even if Queen Changsun is like this, it depends on Li Shimin's mood.

Li Shimin was in a very good mood today.

But when he suddenly reached into his arms, there was a smirk on his face, he said proudly: "I guessed that you would come, so I hid the bird's letter first. Huh, I want to find it from the memorial, but you can't find it after searching for it for a year."

This was like joking about the two women's acting just now, and both the queen and Yang Fei's faces were a little blushing.

However, the two women were eager to find out the news about the child, so they didn't even bother to joke with the emperor. Empress Changsun reached out and grabbed the letters directly. She didn't forget to hide a sentence and said like a stolen bell: "I look at the family members given to me by my son, and I don't know what Zhinu wrote in the letter."

However, Li Shimin suddenly took back the letter and said seriously: "This time the letter is about the serious matter, so let me read it to you, otherwise you will read it privately, and if you spread it out, you will be attacked by the court officials."

The two women looked at each other and hurriedly came over to pinch their shoulders and knock on their backs. Their movements were extremely gentle and they tried hard to please their husbands.

Li Shimin enjoyed it very much, so he slowly opened the letter and read the first one: "My son started to report to his father, and his trip has arrived in Fanyang, and Li Ke's brother will be with him, and he will not come to Hebei in Shandong."

After four sentences, I finished reading this one.

Empress Changsun was a little dissatisfied, and Concubine Yang seemed even more worried and couldn't help but say, "Why did Ke'er not go to Shandong? This is a big mistake that goes against the emperor's order."

As he said that, his delicate body trembled and his pretty face gradually turned white.

Seeing that she was so timid, Li Shimin had to comfort her: "Although Li Ke was named King of Lu, he was under the jurisdiction of Bohai Kingdom. He did not go to Shandong but to Fanyang. It must be the request made by the Lord of Bohai Kingdom. This matter does not violate the emperor's order. You don't need to worry and be afraid of Concubine Yang."

Concubine Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin took out another letter and recited it: "My son, Li Ke, reported to his father that his trip had been transferred from the Liaohe River to Shandong."

This is shorter, with only two sentences. Although the birds pass on their letters quickly, the disadvantage is that they cannot be written in detail, so they are all simple and concise, and generally only report the most important things.

After hearing this, Concubine Yang was obviously surprised and couldn't help but say again: "I just said I went to Fanyang, why did I say I would return to Shandong later?"

Her eyes flashed and she looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had actually read all the letters, and said without any anxiety at this time: "No hurry, wait until I read the next one."

As he said that, he picked out another letter and continued to recite: "My son, Li Ke, reported to his father that the land of Qilu was extremely poor. He was ordered by the Lord of Bohai and began to gather poor people. This matter could not be achieved overnight, maybe two or three years."

This book has a lot of words and involves real big things. Although Concubine Yang wanted to ask, she was timid and did not dare to ask questions.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't want to worry about her and explained directly: "Li Yun wanted to establish the Bohai Kingdom in the Northeast. After the founding of the country, he would definitely face the problem of population shortage. It just so happened that the people in Shandong were poor and distributed some to go to the Northeast to make a living. This matter is good for both the Northeast and Shandong, so I have approved Li Ke to do this."

"What else is there?"

When Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin was reading Li Ke's letters, she was immediately anxious about Li Zhi's situation on Hebei Road. At this time, the emperor only had the last letter in her hand. The queen was very worried that this letter was also owned by Li Ke.

Li Shimin smiled and unfolded the last letter of the letter and said, "This one was delivered from Haidongqing, so the letter can write a lot of things. Don't be impatient with Guanyin maids. The Immortals live a good life in Hebei."

Empress Changsun became even more impatient and urged: "Your Majesty, read it!"

Li Shimin looked helpless and could only recite: "My son reported to my father, I am very busy in Fanyang City. I study at night and have to go to inspect during the day. Father, do you know that two more cities appeared in the north of Fanyang City. They were built by the people themselves, living in Han people and Turks. We in Fanyang specially formulated laws. Han people and Turks encouraged intermarriage. There is a conspiracy here. My son was very excited every day..."

conspiracy?

Empress Changsun couldn't help but worry and said, "Is the child so young? Will he be cheated?"

Li Shimin sneered and pretended to be displeased and said, "Do you still want to continue listening to Guanyin maid?"

Empress Changsun quickly apologized and said shyly: "Your Majesty, don't blame me, I will never dare to interrupt you again."

Li Shimin continued to recite the legend: "Father, our law is ordered like this. If the Turks marry a Han girl, they have to pay ten oxen as punishment. Although this punishment is very serious, the Turks will be qualified to do business in Fanyang, so they are willing to be punished. Instead, they feel that they have made a profit. Another type of law is that Han men marry Turkic women and directly reward five guans of money as marriage support. If they can have a baby, they will also be rewarded with five guans of money. Those Turkic women especially want to marry Han people because they can already buy a house in Fanyang New City. They don't have to work hard to grazle, and they can learn farming with men."

Li Shimin stopped here and explained the truth to the two women: "This is a strategy for national integration, and there will be no Turks again in fifty years."

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang nodded repeatedly and praised him: "The difficulty is that King Zhao... Uh, no, it is the Lord of Bohai. No wonder the Lord of Bohai said that the Turks could not win but could win."

Li Shimin laughed and said proudly: "Fifty years later, the entire grassland will be filled with children of Han people."

Queen Changsun looked at the legend and found that there were still many words below. She couldn't help but urge her husband to say, "Your Majesty, read it again, read it again."

Li Shimin coughed and spread the letter and said, "I also need to report to my father that we have found a huge gold mine in the northeast. It was a map given by my elder brother. I followed the map and searched it. Now three batches of craftsmen have been sent and five thousand people have been sent. The gold mine has gradually produced some production, and more than ten kilograms of gold can be dug every day. My elder brother said that this gold mine can be dug for a thousand years..."

hiss!

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang gasped.

Digging more than ten kilograms of gold a day is as huge as thousands of kilograms a year. This is already shocking, but it can be digging for a thousand years.

What kind of gold mine is that? It has such a huge amount of mineral reserves.

"His Majesty……"

Empress Changsun suddenly spoke and said a little hesitantly: "This gold mine is so huge, I wonder what the Lord of Bohai Kingdom said?"

Li Shimin looked at her and said in a satisfying tone: "The little boy also sent me a letter of transmission. It's very simple, only five words, two or one is added to five."

Two or one adds five.

That is, five to five points.

Empress Changsun became excited in an instant and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is about to take off, what a great wealth it is."

Li Shimin smashed his mouth and said with envy: "The Bohai Kingdom is richer, but unfortunately that brat spent money but didn't make money. He wanted to buy the population with gold, but he bought the Black Water Marine Barbarians..."
