There are some sadness in the world, perhaps only those who have experienced it can experience it.

Li Chengqian's questioning was actually not wrong. After all, everyone knows that Li Yun has more wealth. Even if he spends 70 million on Hebei Road, according to common sense, he still has at least 40 to 50 million.

Forty to fifty to fifty millions!

It is still a huge amount of money that is as rich as a country.

Unfortunately, outsiders only see the scenery of someone, and never see the hard work behind the scenery. Just as the old Chinese folk saying describes, the people's summary is always rich in life philosophy. What is this sentence? This sentence is: Only see thieves eating meat, but not see thieves being beaten...

Isn't it very appropriate?

This is what Li Yun is like now, and he is a situation where the donkey poop eggs are shit outside.

Perhaps only Li Shimin and Empress Changsun can understand the people in the room. Why? The reason is very simple. Those who are not in charge of the family do not know how expensive firewood and rice are.

The same thing is true. There are some sadness in the world, and perhaps only those who have experienced it can understand it.

But when the emperor stood at the door and looked out with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking up at the stars in the sky, the emperor suddenly sighed softly and muttered to himself: "Where is the remaining money going? I seem to be able to give the answer."

This seemed to be helping Li Yun explain, or to warn Li Chengqian, but the emperor's intention was to let all the juniors in the house listen.

"Your cousin spent 70 million on Hebei Road. What benefits me is that I am the Tang Dynasty and the entire northern Central Plains. Cheng Qian, you just questioned me and thought that even if he spent 70 million, there would be 50 million, very well, very good. I won't pursue your conscience for now. I will tell you why the remaining 50 million are gone..."

Li Shimin's tone was very light, and he could not hear any anger. But everyone could feel the emperor's emotions. It seemed that the emperor was filled with anger.

But seeing that the emperor was still holding his hands behind his back, he was still standing at the door looking up at the starry sky, and suddenly spoke: "In the sixth year of Zhenguan, in August, the third branch of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yun, was named the king of the Bohai Kingdom, left the development outside the pass, the white mountains and black waters were desolate, Li Yun was alone, advanced to the primitive dense forest, and then went to Dada Mohe, and received the help of his virtuous wife Yueyaer. In just 60 days, he collected more than one million people. The Mohe tribe was complicated, with tens of thousands of thousands..."

There was a laugh in the room, as if the little wild cat was very happy to praise himself, and said proudly to others: "Did you hear it? Did you hear it? Is this praise me? Is this praise of the most powerful Crescent Yaer."

Then a woman whispered and said, "Don't whisper, you should look like you get married when you get married."

Then he heard the little wild cat humming and retorted: "You are so whispering to me, you never scold Yueyaer for being lively. Sister Cheng, why are you doing with a stern face?"

Then, Cheng Chuxue said helplessly: "Even if your husband likes your cute and cuteness, you have to see where this place is. The family is discussing things. Isn't it rude for you to suddenly interrupt?"

The little wild cat's sad voice finally rang out and said weakly: "My voice is very small, I have not affected anyone, I just feel very happy because the emperor and uncle praised me just now..."

To be fair, the little wild cat's voice is indeed very low. This girl with a cute and naive personality is always unable to control her thoughts. As soon as Li Shimin mentioned her just now, the girl immediately became happy and proud.

Cheng Chuxue's voice was also very low. Although he scolded him, he was a little doting. Obviously, he was not really scolding Yueyaer, but more like a protective warning.

But the two girls spoke after all, and they were interrupted when Li Shimin was talking. If such a thing was put in the court, Li Shimin would be furious immediately. But this time Li Shimin was lifeless and smiled at the two girls.

The emperor did not pursue the little wild cat's relationship, but just gave a soft praise: "Some children deserve praise..."

As for whom you praise, the emperor did not continue to say it, but his tone changed slightly, and the solemn voice began to the previous topic again, and said to Li Chengqian and others in a deep voice: "The Marine tribe has been poor since ancient times. The price you paid for in order to gather these people is amazing. Salt, trucks are pulled to the northeast, cloth, and shipped from house to house, iron pots, and each tribe is given free of charge, grain, and grain transport teams are used four times in a row. With so many supplies, how much money do you have to spend..."

Li Chengqian subconsciously spoke and couldn't help but say, "But the elder brother has gained even more. He has millions of people of Mary, and he has given some wealth and won the hearts of countless people. Mary people are born warriors. He can conscript millions of soldiers at any time under his command. If it were a son-in-law, the son-in-law would be willing to spend a lot of money!"

Li Shimin looked at him deeply and suddenly asked coldly: "Do you have money?"

Li Chengqian was stunned.

Li Shimin asked again immediately, and his tone was even colder: "Even if you have money, are you willing to spend this? You just said that you are willing to spend a lot of money. Do you know how much money Li Yun has spent in the Mariner tribe? I will tell you, at least ten million chunks..."

Ten million coins?

This is another horrifying number.

Li Chengqian was obviously shocked by this number, and after a long time, he stammered: "Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe it won't be used so much... The eldest brother is too busy with money, so he doesn't have to be that good for the Marines. I heard that the Marines have a rule to lick salt, which shows how poor these barbarians are. They just need to give them a little supplies to buy thousands of lives that fight for me."

Li Shimin looked at the son calmly, and after a while, he sighed softly: "This is the difference between you and him."

The emperor seemed a little disappointed with his son, but he still did not give up his teachings. He spoke again: "You spend less money, you buy a person who works hard. Your elder brother spends more money, and he buys a person who sells his heart. Chengqian, remember that serving life and selling heart are things that a qualified emperor must know how to distinguish. Ordinary power buys people, and the imperial family buys heart."

Li Chengqian agreed timidly, but when he lowered his head, he looked a little indifferent flashed in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Li Shimin failed to notice it for a moment, but instead thought that his son had listened to the teachings. The emperor looked very pleased and said again: "Li Yun paid at least 10 million to conquer the Martial Arts. This is just to conquer it, and he has to provide for it later. Before the founding of the Bohai Sea, the land had not been opened up, but the Martial Arts had already walked out of the mountains and forests. They had to consume countless food every day. This is another huge expense. I guess it will not be less than a few thousand guan a day..."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but look up again and subconsciously said, "It's only a few thousand chunks, and there's no pressure for the elder brother."

Li Shimin's face turned angry and scolded and asked, "Do you know what it means to wear a stone through a dripping stone? Do you take out thousands of guan every day to try it?"

Li Chengqian no longer dared to speak and quickly lowered his head.

The emperor was really angry this time, as if he had completely lost the enthusiasm to teach his son. Everyone heard Li Shimin suddenly speed up his speech and said loudly: "In October of the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Yun wrote a letter to the court to build a city here. In the same month, the construction of the city began. Millions of Marines spontaneously served as civilians. Although the people don't need wages, the materials for building the city have to be spent. I ask you, how much does it cost to build this Bohai City?"

The emperor seemed to question, but in fact, he did not wait for everyone to speak, and said loudly again: "In December of the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi, King of Yan of Hebei Province, and Li Ke, King of Lu of Shandong Province, jointly wrote a letter to the court to recruit 1.5 million people from the customs. The huge amount of money spent on the migration of the people was at least several million yuan. After the people arrived in the Bohai Sea, Li Yun had to properly maintain the people. He had to pay money every day, and he was raising for food every day. Do you know how difficult it was for that period?"

Everyone in the room couldn't help but look at Li Yun, and their faces gradually showed sympathy. They used to be envious and jealous of Li Yun, thinking that this cousin enjoyed too much power. Now, after hearing Li Shimin talked one by one, everyone realized that Li Yun was not very comfortable.

Li Shimin said loudly: "It's not just him, but even his wives suffer. I have heard a secret report from Baiqisi, saying that Cheng Chuxue showed up for food and was auctioned on stage in Fanyang City every day. In order to raise food, he even had to drink with others. He is a legitimate daughter of a Duke. Who has ever pitied her for losing face?"

After questioning, Li Shimin spoke again, as if he was already a little excited, and suddenly roared: "If you don't be a leader, you don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. You will never know the suffering that the emperors and princes have endured. Is it a lot of ten thousand trump? One hundred ten thousand trumps is not enough for the emperors and princes."

Speaking of this, he suddenly pointed at Li Yun and finally said, "Your brother said he is very poor now, and I am the one who feels the most in agreement with this."

Then he pointed at A Yao and said, "Your sister-in-law is full of sadness and care. Your mother is the one who has the most sympathy for this matter. I and your mother, your brother and your sister-in-law, and the four of us are the four people who are under the most pressure in this world. Because we not only have to take care of the small family, we also have to bear the responsibility of everyone. What is everyone? Everyone is this world. What is an emperor? The emperor does not just enjoy power. The people are willing to accept the rule of the emperor. That is because the emperor needs to support his people. If we cannot do this, what qualifications are there to call him emperor?"

At this time, Empress Changsun slowly stood up, looked at Li Yun and A Yao with love, and said to the younger generations: "Ten thousand five million yuan, your elder brother is all spent on the people, his own pockets are brilliance. Before you came to Bohai, he lived in a thatched cottage. He built countless courtyards for the people and refugees, but he himself did not want to live in those houses. Your sister-in-law also built thatched cottages. Even this palace lives in this way. If you don't be a family, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive. Governing the country and living at home is the same. Money must be spent on the blade, and you have to save money if you live..."

When the queen said this, her eyes slowly glanced at the younger generation, especially looking at Li Chengqian, and said earnestly: "You always envy your elder brother's industry, but you don't know how difficult it is to run this industry. Children, you still need to learn well."

The emperor and the empress, Li Yun and A Yao, and the queen borrowed Li Yun and his wife as a question to teach and torture the envy and jealousy of the royal family present.

The atmosphere became a little depressing.

...

Li Yun suddenly let out a long sigh, then a gentle smile appeared on his face. He patted A Yao's back of his hand and signaled A Yao to go back to his seat first. He still stood at the door with Li Shimin, smiling and said, "I will take time to write a tutorial on spending money for the people. If any younger brother and sister want to know something, you can ask me to borrow this tutorial at any time. Let's not mention the past today, we will only discuss the future."

Concubine Yang stood up quickly and shouted from afar: "I have recorded a lot just now. Can I read it to my children first?"

Li Yun pondered for a moment, looked at the emperor, and Li Shimin pondered for the same moment, and then said, "Concubine Yang should not embezzle. All children should be allowed to read the things you recorded. I will make a charter today, which will be listed as the assessment of all princes and princesses. They must first read your records today, and then be qualified to borrow Li Yun's writings. If anyone can grasp it first, I personally send a large army to help him establish a vassal state."

Wow!

The whole room was in an uproar.

Just because of Li Yun’s tutorial on spending money for the people, will the emperor be awarded a second prince after the assessment?

The royal juniors present, as well as the mothers of the princes, even princes like Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaogong's wife and princess, were all breathing heavily, and everyone's eyes became eager.

However, at this moment, Li Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in the corner again. He heard the voice of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he seemed curious and deliberately asked Li Yun: "Good grandson, you said there were two reasons before..."

uh-huh?

Only then did everyone in the room remember what topic was brought up by Li Yun’s destiny that had been mentioned in the past half day.

At the beginning, Li Yuan asked Li Yun how he would govern the Goguryeo people. Li Yun replied that he would treat the Goguryeo people as half-people and half-slaves, and issue heavy production tasks, and use heavy taxes to squeeze out the output, so that he could only give the Goguryeo people a full meal and not give them a leisurely life. Then Li Chengqian questioned whether this was forcing rebellion. Li Yun replied for two reasons.

The first reason is that Li Yun said he was very poor, but before he could explain it clearly, everyone turned the topic to why Li Yun was poor.

Now Li Yuan suddenly spoke, obviously thinking that Li Yun would turn the topic back.

As a founding emperor, Li Yuan’s intention was actually very profound. The old man seemed to ask Li Yun, but in fact he was also thinking about teaching the next generation.

"Why do you have to squeeze the Goguryeo when you are poor?"

"You just said in the evening that Goguryeo people will also be your people!"

"It seems that Li Yun's character shouldn't be your character because you become poor?"

Li Yuan deliberately used this doubt, which aroused the speculation and interest of the younger generation of the royal family.

Once a person becomes curious about something, he will be extremely dedicated to understanding it.
