Li Po held the meaty Wu Fu in front of him and admired it.
She is three years old. It is said that she can eat and sleep, is in excellent health, and speaks more logically than the average child.
At this time, he was neither crying nor fussing in Li Po's hands, looking at the stranger curiously and timidly. After all, he was not as bold as he was when he was one or two years old, and he had no intention of asking for a hug.
Li Po was in a good mood. He weighed the meat dumplings a few times, and then he hugged him unceremoniously. He was a famous figure in history, and hugging him gave him a different feeling.
Wu Fu struggled for a moment and then calmed down after understanding the current situation.
"How old?"
Wu Fu clapped his fingers and did not calculate clearly, and did not want to speak.
Her mother, Ms. Yang, was standing by, feeling very anxious. At this moment, she quickly answered for her daughter: "Second mother is three years old. She will be four years old after her birthday in the first month of next year."
Li Po asked, "When was she born? It couldn't be the Lantern Festival, right?"
This time, without his mother speaking, Wu Fu raised his head and said with a big tongue: "My mother-in-law said, my daughter's birthday cannot be told to anyone..."
Li Po stared at her and threatened her, "I am the emperor, no one dares to hide what I want to know."
Wu Fu shrank his head, but his mouth became bald faster than his head, "Isn't the emperor a human being?"
Yang's face turned pale with fright, and she wished she could go up and slap her daughter immediately. Her daughter was still young, but she was already somewhat argumentative. After she could speak, she would often make her cry when she got along with her sister.
The emperor arrived suddenly and forgot to tell her in a hurry. What a sin...
Li Po laughed heartily, "Second mother is not much of a villain, but she already knows that the emperor is inhumane, and she will be very bad in the future."
Yang was confused and thought, is there such a saying?
The whole family, one big and one small, were muttering there as if no one else was around. Yang's body broke into a cold sweat as she listened, praying in her heart that her husband would come back quickly. She couldn't handle it alone.
…………
The warrior Xun got off the horse and crawled. He was almost fifty, but his body was still strong. He was galloping all the way, his heart was beating loudly, and his head was covered with sweat.
He didn't need anyone to help him when he got off the horse, and he went straight to the house.
Several aides had been waiting for a long time and immediately gathered around him. Before they could say anything, the warrior Yu scolded him: "Your Majesty arrived at the palace. If you don't go and serve him, what are you doing here?"
One of the staff smiled bitterly, "Dong Weng is joking, how can we despicable people be so close to you?"
Warrior Xun snorted twice, his head bursting into flames, "Do you understand why your Majesty is here?"
Someone said: "I asked the people who were accompanying me, but I couldn't find out anything. I just said that the house should not be too public, lest His Majesty would not like it..."
The warrior Xun nodded, knowing that he couldn't ask anything useful, so he ordered: "You go and make preparations. It is said that His Majesty likes strange and ingenious things, so he went to the warehouse to pick out a few items and prepare them.
Kitchen... Your Majesty is from the north. Once you stay in the mansion for a meal, Zhang Dalang will be the chef. The wine should be dry and refreshing. Remember, you don't want sumptuous food and wine, but exquisiteness and care.
The other thing is to ask Mrs. Hu to lead the people to prepare. Songs and dances may not be necessary, but when the time comes, if you really want to be called in, cheer up for me. If anyone makes any mistakes, they will not be kicked out of the house.
It’s over, do you understand?”
Everyone agreed one after another, and some people suggested, "It's better to send someone to Caiyufang...or find some good family members like before..."
As soon as I heard this, I knew that this person had been staying in the mansion for many years and had received some distinguished guests.
The warrior Xun waved his hand and said: "Don't try to be clever. Your Majesty and Li... are different. Those vulgar and vulgar people cannot be seen. As long as they can stay safe, everyone in the house will be rewarded."
By the way, where are those two little beasts? Didn't they come out to greet you?"
There is something wrong with what you say. When the Holy Spirit arrives, which family will not welcome it with the whole family?
Fortunately, someone immediately said: "The two husbands are not in the house. Do you want to send someone to find them?"
The warrior Xun touched his chest. After giving birth to two useless sons, sooner or later he would lose many years of his life.
"Xun Xun, let them die outside. Listen, you guys, from now on, the only two people who will make the decisions in the family are me and my aunt. You just have to listen to what those two little beasts say, and don't let them do what they want.
After that, I will sort out everything in the industry and report it..."
At this time, the warrior Yu could not say much, but the arrival of the emperor made him determined. Seeing that his official career was progressing, he felt that he could no longer be as hesitant as before.
…………
In the main hall of the mansion, Li Po sat very comfortably on the couch, waving Wu Fu's little hand, laughing constantly. He had never been so rare for his own children.
"She has reached the age of enlightenment. She is so smart that she needs a better teacher. Would you like me to teach her one?"
Looking at what he said, how could Yang refuse?
"Your Majesty is so kind to you, how can the Wu family deserve it?"
"I have a close affinity with her. I hope that when she grows up, she will understand the truth and broaden her horizons. By the way, she will not fall behind when it comes to bows and horses. Although her ancestral home is Jinyang, she was born in Kansai, so she cannot be dismissed by Kansai.
The women are inferior to each other."
Li Po spoke with a smile, his eyes rolled, and he was thinking about something that no one else would have thought of even in their dreams.
Naturally, he didn't want Wu Erniang to follow the old path and try to seize the Li family's world in the future, causing a lot of turmoil. However, if his descendants failed to live up to their expectations, Wu Erniang would be overwhelmed or even under her feet.
There was a lot of mourning, but he didn't pay much attention.
He must have been gone by then. Out of sight, out of mind.
The demise of the Tang Dynasty should be no different from that of the Qin, Han, and Sui Dynasties. Since the outcome is already known, why bother worrying about it? He just felt that the process from the rise to decline of the dynasty should be more exciting.
Without Wu Erniang, wouldn’t it be extremely boring?
I just don’t know if when he arrives, this little man in my arms will be able to become a superior person, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at all living beings.
I guess it’s quite annoying...
…………
Yang responded slowly, having nothing to say. Of course, she was honored to see the emperor like her daughter so much.
And this is destined to be a blessing that others may not be able to achieve in thousands of years. At such a young age, my daughter can nestle in the arms of the emperor. In terms of fortune, only princes and princesses may be able to beat her. I don’t know if she can bear it.
Affordable.
…………
Samurai Yu was stopped by Sergeant Habayashi outside the hall, and Sergeant Habayashi guarded Roshi Shinobu at the side of the hall, motionless and too lazy to pay attention to him.
Zheng Sheng, the regular attendant who came with the Disciple Cavalry, came out, shrunk from the cold, and cupped his hands and said: "Servant Wu, you are polite. Your Majesty is talking in the hall. Please dress your clothes properly before you can come with me to have an audience."
The warrior Xun Liandao was rude and straightened his official uniform before following Zheng Sheng into the hall.
"Warrior Yu, see your majesty." Once inside, warrior Yu bowed down.
When Li Po saw him arriving, his interest dropped slightly. The warrior Xun was tall and powerful, but not as interesting as the little man in his arms, so he just waved his hand casually.
"Excuse me. You came too soon. Please sit down and talk."
A simple sentence made Samurai Tong sigh in his heart for a long time. Is it because I came back too early?
He blinked his eyes and looked at the emperor sitting on his couch, with his daughter in his arms and his mother-in-law by his side, and his expression suddenly brightened.
Seeing the warrior Yun sitting down and his master coming back, Li Po felt that the trip had come to an end.
But of course he won't leave just like that. Well, when the man at home is not around, he goes to the house to meet the female family members, and when the master comes back, he turns around and leaves. What's that?
With his emotional intelligence, he would naturally not be able to do such stupid things.
…………
"Did you just go off to office? It's the end of the year. When do you plan to go off office?"
The warrior Xun had just settled down on the couch and replied hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. However, there are many things this year. I have discussed it and left enough manpower to take charge of the department.
Only then will the task be accomplished.”
Li Po nodded and finally let go of Wu Fu. The villain also knew how to squat down and salute, and then he jumped into his mother's arms with his calves.
Warrior Xun and Yang both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your ministers will take turns to be on duty and will not neglect their official duties."
Li Po smelled like milk and was in a really good mood. He smiled and said, "You used to be in charge of money and food matters, and you are familiar with them. I want to ask you.
Nowadays, Baekje and the Japanese countries on the east coast have been destroyed, Silla has become a vassal, Funan in the south has entered the dynasty, Subi in the west also has this intention, and the Eastern and Western Turks are also opening border markets with the Tang Dynasty.
The rise of commerce is just around the corner, do you think we, the Tang Dynasty, can make a difference in terms of money?"
After hearing this question, the warrior Xun secretly complained, what day is it today? He had just asked the minister Zuopushe Wen Yanbo in the Shangshu Province, and he was grabbed again when he returned home. I don't know if it was unlucky or lucky?
Of course, whether he is unlucky or lucky depends on whether his correct answer is in line with the emperor's wishes.
Now it seems that the opportunity is rare. He has always wanted to show his face in front of the emperor. Now a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity suddenly comes. How can he let it go easily?
In fact, it doesn't matter even if his answer is ordinary. If the emperor can make this trip to his home, if word spreads, his warrior Xun will immediately have a halo around him. Who dares to look down on him?
He understood what the emperor wanted to ask, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, but I have never thought about this matter. It is really stupid.
In the past, most of the trade with foreign countries was barter, especially in areas under the jurisdiction of the Turkic royal court. There was no currency available. I have seen transactions with them, and they often counted cattle and sheep, but they did not know how to do it.
If you count, it's almost done.
When I was young, I met several big businessmen who traveled to the Western Regions. The people there did use money, but most small countries did not have the right to mint coins at all, so they mostly bartered, and sometimes gold sands were traded.
It is said that the Western Turkic King's Account once minted coins, but merchants in the Central Plains would never use that thing for transactions in the past, and the same was true for the coins of the Central Plains in the past.
If Your Majesty is interested in this, I think we should start with Baekje and Silla. Since they have surrendered to Chen Chen, they will naturally be easy to drive. Other places need to be slowed down and not forced. Otherwise, there will only be a sword fight."
