"I would say that Li Er was really miserable. He made great achievements as early as the beginning of the uprising.
Later, his father made Li Jiancheng the prince and Li Er the general of Tiance.
In fact, Li Jiancheng is also very powerful, and his strength is not inferior to that of Li Er.
But there is a saying that goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female.
If he, Li Er, were a woman, no matter how strong they were, they would not fight each other.
He started the Xuanwumen mutiny just to protect himself and had no choice but to do so.
Otherwise, if those people who followed Li Er were seized by Li Jiancheng, do you think they would end well?
Actually, it was just a simple political change.
The people of the world said that he was like this.
In fact, there were only a few common people, and most of them were just scholars who used this matter to attack him from time to time.
In addition, not long after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Turks in the north betrayed their faith and besieged Chang'an City, ruthlessly plundering the Tang Dynasty.
After the wool is pulled out, doesn't it have to be passed on to the people of the world?
Then came all kinds of big disasters, and they happened to him one after another, so he couldn't help but feel sad."
"Yes, dear brother, you still understand Your Majesty."
Li Er's heart felt so moved.
If everyone could understand themselves and their own hardships like my virtuous brother, wouldn't the whole world be solved easily?
But there are some people who like to make trouble with the Xuanwumen mutiny.
"I told you before that actually the people who farm the land don't care who becomes the emperor.
All the people care about is having three meals a day and being able to eat well and sleep well.
A year of good weather, good harvests, no war, and a happy family.
Even if you change the throne again, as long as you don't make people's lives miserable, they will support you.
Why was Datang able to win the last world? Do you think it was just with weapons?
To a large extent, it depends on the people's support. Today's technology, weapons produced, and the level of craftsmanship are similar throughout the world.
Under the same conditions, the more popular a monarch is, the greater his chance of success will be, and vice versa."
Yes, yes.
Li Er sighed again, Brother Xian is right!
You still have to come to his Zhaojiazhuang and let your wise brother come to soothe your wounded heart from time to time!
"By the way, dear brother, I still need your help with something."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Brother Xian, I have a friend who has an elder in his family, and this elder is also my elder.
This elder is celebrating his birthday.
It’s just that it’s really boring to celebrate my birthday like that every year.
So this year I thought of suggesting a change to him.
I, Lao Li, really liked the routine you used to celebrate your birthday last year, dear brother.
Especially the cake, I was very satisfied with it.
See if you can teach me how to make that cake?"
"Hey, I have a Friends series about you, and I'm tired of hearing about it.
The one you brought over before was called I Have a Friend series, so you are actually talking about the elders of your family, right?"
Uh-huh.
When someone pointed out the matter directly, Li Er smiled awkwardly.
nodded.
"Well, I can't hide anything from you, dear brother.
In fact, this elder is my father, and he is older now.
As a child, I just want to see if I can come up with a new trick to make my father happy!"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Mu instantly understood and became interested himself.
"I said, Lao Li, you are not a real person.
Next time something like this happens, just point it out to me directly. There is no need to use the I Have a Friend series.
I know you are worried that I look down on you, but this is normal for your family.
There are noble families, there are merchant families, and there are ordinary people's families.
These things are not a big deal.
In your family, there is also a drama about which child gives good things and gives more things, and which child gives less things and gives bad things.
When all the heirs gather together, will there be a struggle for power?
Are they all inheriting the property from their father’s family, or are they the next generation’s helmsmen?”
In this TV series, don’t all the families, big or small, like to do this?
In other words, the plots in some other novels are like this.
During the old man's birthday party, everyone gathered here and fought for power and profit.
Since I know him, Lao Li, and have known him for such a long time, it doesn't hurt to help with this kind of thing.
"Lao Li, I've helped you with this matter.
I will also help you win the first place in your old man's impression."
When Li Er heard this, his old face couldn't help but twitch.
Could it be that at this moment, I want to confess to my wise brother and tell him that he is actually the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
The person celebrating the birthday is the Supreme Emperor, but if you say it like this, it would be a bit embarrassing.
"Uh-huh, dear brother, you have actually misunderstood.
To tell you the truth, I am the only son of my father in my family, and I have no other sons."
What?
Zhao Mu was stunned when he heard what Li Er said.
I said, Lao Li, you can really make things happen, and this kind of troublemaking is not ordinary.
Do you have to celebrate your biological father’s birthday in such a complicated way?
Why don't you just tell me in a simple and rude way?
I even misunderstood the matter and became embarrassed.
I originally thought that there was going on in their family to compete with each other, followed by defeats and pushbacks.
In the end, he turned out to be an only child, but he was still an only child even though he was rich, which was really rare in ancient times.
"My dear brother, to be honest with you, I am the only son in the family, and the rest are all daughters, and they are all married."
"Hahahaha, I understand, I understand."
Zhao Mu understood what he meant. As the saying goes, the water thrown out by his married daughter was absolutely impossible to compete with him for the family property.
I asked why he looked calm this time, so that was it.
Although he was an only son, Zhao Mu admired him for being so filial to his father.
"Say the date and you can send someone to pick it up then.
I will personally arrange the manpower to handle your matter beautifully."
"Brother, if that's the case, then it will be hard work.
By the way, this cake must be made bigger, a little bigger, a little bigger.
It’s bigger than the cake you had that day, dear brother.”
Zhao Mu nodded in agreement.
They are all very nice people.
Presumably there will be many people attending the rally on that day, if only they can have cake.
He can also let other people see his son's filial piety, and everyone's face will shine.
The two people made eye contact and both understood what he meant!
"Master, the food is ready in the restaurant!"
"Brother Xian, why don't we go have dinner first?"
During the meal, the date of my birthday was decided.
When that day comes, he will send someone over to pick up the things. Taking advantage of the situation, he even pretends to invite Brother Xian, but Zhao Mu shakes his head and refuses.
I really don’t like joining in the fun, especially from other people’s homes.
Li Er said something regretful on the surface, but in fact he was very happy in his heart.
He knew from the beginning that his wise brother would not come, so he pretended to give a hint and asked him if he wanted to come.
If my dear brother also comes, by then, this matter will be really complicated.
After dinner, he returned to the guest room. In the early morning of the next day, Li Er took a carriage and returned to Chang'an City with the drawings. When he arrived at the palace, he called people from the Ministry of Industry and began to arrange for manpower to build it.
As Zhao Mu said, making things is not complicated, as long as a mature craftsman can make them successfully in a moment.
I sent people to pour water, shuttled through the fields, and adopted this drip irrigation method. I walked up and took a look for myself, this method.
It is the same bucket of water, but it can increase the water resource utilization efficiency to 5 times compared with the previous method. It is really a good method.
"Come here, tell me my order. Send people to quickly spread this drawing to all states and counties, and arrange for craftsmen to build it.
Organize manpower to carry out drip irrigation and allow them to save a lot of crops under the conditions of limited water resources."
Officials from the Ministry of Industry received the order and immediately sent people to deliver the news.
The next morning, Li Er told the incident to all the civil and military officials in the court.
I also took advantage of the situation and gave each of them a drawing.
Seeing the blueprints given by His Majesty, the clan members were really stunned for a moment.
What on earth is the emperor going to do by giving them the blueprints?
And after hearing what he said, everyone had to wonder if there was any new trick?
If Li Er knew that this group of people thought of him so much.
I will definitely say that you have really wronged yourselves this time.
What purpose can I have? I hope that people like them can reduce their losses this year.
They only have more land than everyone else, not less than everyone else.
But the occurrence of drought will not harm their clan members.
But delaying their food production means delaying your own money.
Nowadays, wine in Chang'an is still exchanged for food.
And their big families are still the main force.
These people all raise their own sheep. If the sheep are not fat anymore, how can they pull out the wool at this critical moment?
All the other ministers smiled.
Each of them also has a field in their home.
Since the beginning of summer, droughts and rivers have dried up, and everyone in their family has been hit hard.
Now that His Majesty has come up with such a good thing, it seems that their losses this year will not be particularly heavy.
On the contrary, the group of soldiers and sons were very confused.
Could it be that the emperor is doing these things because he wants to smooth out the wool of his clan at a critical moment?
But from the looks of it, there was no conspiracy.
Think again and you will understand instantly.
The old emperor wanted to allow each of them to grow more food so that they could harvest more this year.
If there is a shortage of food then, can we use this kind of favor to morally kidnap them?
After thinking for a moment, there was only one possibility, but this time, everyone unfortunately told him.
If you use this small favor, it will be impossible to think about moral kidnapping in the future.
No matter what, I won't fall into your trap this time.
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Li Er asked about the victims again.
The various states, prefectures and counties have received orders from His Majesty, but they absolutely dare not slack off.
We have already arranged manpower to handle the matter clearly.
Otherwise, if this news spreads to Chang'an City, it will be a small matter if the black hat is not saved, but if the head is not saved, it will be a big deal!
After arranging everything, Li Er waved his hand, and the officials shouted to see off His Majesty.
After leaving the court, I returned to the Tai Chi Hall and started to be busy again!
