Chapter 868

Li Shimin's trip to Jiuhua Mountain was not a whim, but an early plan. The year before last, Li Shimin announced the announcement of Jiuhua Mountain summer vacation in chaotang. However, an accident broke Li Shimin's plan, that is, the emergence of Merton making ice with saltpeter.

To tell the truth, although Jiuhua Mountain is a summer resort, it is also relative. It is only a little better than the hot Chang'an city. However, the mass production of ice makes Li Shimin sit in the palace, which can also be extremely cool. Naturally, he is no longer willing to suffer.

In addition, the health of empress Chang sun is not good. A large number of ice blocks make the environment in the house very comfortable in summer, so she didn't go there this year.

However, in the second year, when the western expedition of the Tang Dynasty was in Tuyuhun, Li Shimin needed to take charge of Chang'an City, arrange food and grass and command the overall situation, but he didn't succeed.

This year's good weather in the Tang Dynasty, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. In addition, the honeymoon between Merton and Princess Changle is Li Shimin's promise to empress changsun, which makes this trip to Jiuhua Mountain.

And the time is set in September. At this time, the weather is suitable, the autumn is crisp, and all kinds of animals are fat and healthy. It is a good time to travel and hunt. As soon as the weather turns cold, Li Shimin can't wait to announce his travel plan.

Tai Chi hall.

"Tell your majesty, the weather is good in the Tang Dynasty this year, and there are no natural disasters. Now the autumn harvest has been completed everywhere, and it must be another bumper harvest year." Fang Xuanling is bowing down to report to Li Shimin in the hall.

Of course, how can the whole world be in good weather? Thanks to the well killing skills and flood discharge area proposal provided by Merton, Datang's ability to resist floods and droughts has been greatly increased. In addition, with the method of controlling locusts, the three major hazards of agriculture have not posed much threat to Datang.

"Yes, thank you for your love!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. Now the world is peaceful. Naturally, he has sufficient reasons for his plan to travel. Even the most picky Wei Zheng didn't say anything wrong.

"It's not just good weather, but even the yield per mu has increased significantly. With the improved seeds and pesticides produced by the Mohist family, it is expected that the grain harvest this year will increase by at least 20%, and the people of Datang will be blessed." Su Lingnong, a big Si Nong on the side, said excitedly.

The bumper harvest of agriculture is not the credit of his farmhouse. It is the lifelong wish of his farmhouse that the people all over the world have no worries about food and clothing.

Even if the officials were not happy with Merton, they couldn't help nodding secretly. The Mohist school did great credit for such a bumper harvest in the Tang Dynasty.

Dai Zhou, the Minister of civil affairs, bowed his hand and said, "I inform your majesty that now the Ministry of civil affairs also has good news. Although the farmland in Guanzhong Plain is returned to forest and the cultivated land is reduced, the land tax in Datang has increased year by year, and even the business tax has soared by 50%. This year, Datang is financially rich, the national strength is booming, and the prosperity of Datang is just around the corner."

In particular, Chang'an and Luoyang, which have the most far-reaching influence of Mohism, have developed rapidly, and the proportion of business tax revenue has increased significantly. There is a faint trend to surpass land tax. This year's autumn tax has been collected, and the embarrassing state of empty Treasury has been reduced, which has made him a lot of balance in his heart. Don't envy master Shen anymore.

"OK!" Li Shimin said with a smile. Now that the Treasury is sufficient and he spends a little more on his trip, no one will gossip.

Subsequently, the three provinces and six ministries reported this year's situation to Li Shimin one by one. Of course, most of them reported good news. After all, no one wanted to offend Li Shimin's interest at this time.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "today's situation is actually the best situation since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. I hope Zhu Qing will continue to encourage each other and create the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty."

"The ministers will certainly live up to your Majesty's expectations!" all the ministers arched their bodies one after another.

After Li Shimin looked around, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'm lucky that after Jiuhua Mountain, there is a prince supervising the country in the hall. I hope you can help me."

"The crown prince supervises the country!" all the officials were shocked. They had heard the news for a long time. However, many courtiers frowned after Li Shimin announced it.

"I inform your majesty that the crown prince is young and needs training. I'm afraid he can't be competent for the important task of supervising the country. Now the brick road from Datang to Jiuhua Mountain has been built. You can go back and forth in a day. Your majesty is as far away as Jiuhua Mountain, and you can also remotely control the court." Du Chuke wrote.

"Yes! Now the brick road is extremely convenient. Even the storm can arrive in time, which will not delay the government." Wei Zheng also arched his hand.

"Yes, if there was nothing wrong with the crown prince's supervision of the country before, now the brick road is convenient, Jiuhua Mountain is not too far away, and the crown prince is still young, please take charge of the government."

Many officials played one after another and asked Li Shimin to remotely control the government.

At the head of the hundred officials, hearing the opposition of the ministers, Li Chengqian couldn't help but bite his silver teeth and clench his fists. There was a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River for three times, but he always controlled the government, which delayed so many important events that the world was corrupted. How can I repeat the mistakes? Moreover, although the crown prince is young, when I was as old as Li Chengqian, I had joined the army and went to Yanmen pass to rescue Yang Guang. The so-called jade is not made into a weapon. It's time to carve Chengqian's jade, Otherwise, it will be difficult to become a big thing in the future. "

"Jade can't be cut, it can't be made." the courtiers were speechless for a while. This is the three character Sutra just made by Mohist Zi. Li Shimin took it to the court and openly used it. What's more, the courtiers had nothing to say to refute.

"But..." the officials frowned.

Seeing that all the officials still had doubts, Li Shimin smiled and said, "even if the prince is young, it still has your help. If there is something important, you can inform me. The prince will make decisions on other things."

"Yes!" the officials bowed down and took orders.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian suddenly showed a trace of excitement and said, "the child will certainly live up to his father's expectations."

Li Shimin took a deep look at Li Chengqian. As the courtier said, the brick road is convenient now. He doesn't have much problem even if he controls the court hall remotely. First, he wants to spend a holiday away from the government with the eldest grandson queen. Second, he wants to cultivate Li Chengqian's political ability. As a successor to the throne, he must be familiar with the government.

"Retreat from Korea!" with Pound's sharp voice, Li Shimin's travel and the prince's supervision of the country were officially determined.

The court hall has just decided to go on a trip, and there is an uproar in the harem. Li Shimin's trip to Jiuhua Mountain is bound to be accompanied by Empress Chang sun, and there will be several places for other concubines. None of the imperial concubines in the back palace is excited. After all, they are often in the Imperial Palace, and which one doesn't yearn for the outside world. One by one can't help but try their best to please Li Shimin and want to seek places to travel with Li Shimin.
