However, with the sound of the thundering drums, the street at the entrance of Luoyang Guanya was already blocked by countless curious Luoyang people.

Even if Princess Tong'an wanted to lead the team to leave, she was in a dilemma.

At this moment, the angry, anxious, and incomparably angry Eldest Princess Tong'an took a long time to remember how to communicate with her subordinates, and after a long time of gestures.

The confidant female official finally understood what the eldest Princess Tongan meant, and went all the way in person.

Only then did I buy pen, ink and paper at a painting and calligraphy stall and rushed back.

But even after taking it back, Princess Tong'an was holding a pen, and she didn't know what she should write under the rhythm of this devil-like drum. Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin had a fierce quarrel with several censors and ministers in the courtroom, but fortunately there was no physical conflict this time.

However, His Majesty was still furious, and he reprimanded the servants who were the most vigorous and snarled for half a year, including Cheng Yaojin of course.

After that, he slapped his **** and left, leaving behind the courtiers who looked at each other in dismay and left the palace indifferently.

When Li Shimin returned to the Ganlu Temple, he looked refreshed.

Seeing that Empress Zhangsun, who happened to be reading a book and drinking tea in the Ganlu Palace, waiting for her husband's return, got up with a smile.

"What happened to my husband today? You look so happy."

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile, sat behind the table, took the tea that the lady poured for him, and took a sip.

Well, as expected, this wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea is more accustomed to drinking, which can not only clear the liver and improve eyesight, but also maintain health.

Nowadays, Li Shimin wakes up in the morning and drinks green tea, at noon he drinks wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea, and at night, he drinks black tea, which is good for the spleen and stomach.

"There's nothing good about it, it's just a bad thing, it finally solved the problem temporarily, alas..."

When I thought of what Cheng Yaojin said in the hall today, and the faces of the two unlucky ghosts, their faces were green to white.

Li Shimin immediately laughed out loud.

Seeing this scene, Empress Changsun asked curiously, and when she heard that General Cheng was making trouble again, she shook her head helplessly.

"But then again, Gu Qing is in a hurry to follow the right, so I reminded the old man. I really didn't notice this problem before."

"The land in Jiaozhou is fertile, and most of it is fertile land. The three-season rice is ripening three times a year, and it is indeed easy to hurt farmers because of low prices."

"If the low price of grain hurts the farmers, how can the people be moved to the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion to cultivate more fertile land."

"I have to say that the Han and Tang firms are willing to obey the order of the Governor of Jiaozhou and use all the fertile fields they purchased to grow sugar cane.

They also signed an agreement with the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and they will collect all the sugarcane produced in the military fields of the Metropolitan Governor's Office at the market price...

It's a great thing to do for me. "

"Otherwise, wait until the two million acres of land have been planted with three crops of rice.

Even if Gu Qing's memorial reaches Chang'an, my will will be handed over to Jiaozhou. I'm afraid it's too late..."

After listening to Li Shimin explain the cause and effect of the incident, Empress Changsun couldn't help but feel scared for a while.

"What the husband said is very true, and the concubine did not expect that after three crops of rice were planted in the fields of Jiaozhou, the annual income would be so amazing."

"Yeah, when I heard the news, my first thought at the time was that if Guanzhong's fields could also have such an income, I would have nothing to worry about..."

Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but look slightly dark, sighed lightly and nodded.

"What your husband said is very true. Now the yield per mu in Guanzhong is not abundant, and every year it needs to transport grain from the Central Plains to Guanzhong to make up for it."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, took a sip of the tea soup, and said.

"My husband still remembers that at the beginning of my father's reign, he only needed to transfer 200,000 shi from outside Guan into Chang'an, and then he would be able to eat enough in Guanzhong.

And by the end of last year, the amount of grain transferred from outside the customs had increased to one million stone, and it was difficult and dangerous to enter the waterway of the customs. "

"Guanyin maid, do you still remember that in the sixth year of Zhenguan, the drought in Guanzhong was very severe, and it was very urgent to transfer food to the customs."

"At Sanmenxia alone, there are seven subversive grain boats, alas..."

Empress Zhangsun nodded, raised her hand and gently massaged her husband's shoulders.

"It is difficult to enter the waterway in the customs, but it is more expensive to transport food by land, which is also a last resort."

Li Shimin nodded and smiled bitterly.

"Ah... Yes, since the previous dynasty, the output of Guanzhong has been difficult to increase, but the population of Guanzhong is increasingly prosperous..."

"We are not producing enough in the worrying pass, while the Jiaozhou Governor's Office is worrying about producing too much food."

Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun gently changed the subject.

"It seems that the Han and Tang Commercial Banks established by the younger generation have really made a contribution to the court."

Li Shimin nodded, narrowed his eyes, and said with a scheming look.

"Yeah, but if you can come up with such a weird idea, I'm afraid it's probably Cheng Saburo's kid. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"This stone honey is a good thing. After all, with this kind of dessert, it is what the people need every day, but there is no need to worry about no sales."

After spit out a few more words, Li Shimin stroked his long beard and started to have a headache, thinking about the next move of the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion.

In Gu Da's memorial, it is very clear that many wealthy and powerful people have also purchased a lot of land in Jiaozhou.

"My lady, I want to make the next decision for my husband. Anyone who buys land from Jiaozhou shall not plant three crops of rice and other staple foods within five years."

"You can only grow sugar cane, or other crops, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun thought for a while, and slowly shook her head.

"People travel thousands of miles only for money. Husband, if you do this, you will cut off many people's fortunes."

"What's more, the concubine felt that it was inappropriate to force sugar cane to be planted. After all, not everyone is willing to plant sugar cane to make stone honey..."

Li Shimin nodded and stroked his long beard painfully.

"I've worked so hard for the development of the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion, but I didn't expect that I'd be stumped at the beginning."

Empress Zhangsun pondered for a while, then suddenly the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

"Husband, it's not that there is no solution, it just depends on whether the husband is willing or not."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he looked at his resourceful wife.

"Those people went to Jiaozhou to buy fields in order to ask for money, if their husband did not allow them to grow food."

"Then, other crops, after paying taxes, plus their early investment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue."

"That being the case, if your husband pays attention to the long-term benefits of Jiaozhou, it would be better. If they don't plant three crops of rice, the imperial court can exempt them from their land taxes. Oh, husband, what are you doing?"
