Li Xuan explained so painstakingly that Li Shimin was also surprised in his heart.
Originally, they all thought that the steel-making technique invented by Li Xuan could carry four-wheeled carriages with more grain, grass and baggage, as well as the concrete and cement that could be used to station troops in frontier fortresses, smooth cement roads, and warm and comfortable woolen gloves.
Along with clothes, there are even medicine packs of painkillers and hemostasis needed after the war!
All these war weapons were prepared from all aspects for his own expedition.
Unexpectedly, it was not the case!
The former overlord is no longer willing to lead troops!
Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan seriously for a while and couldn't help but sigh.
"If Xuanba doesn't have the intention to go on an expedition, then he'll give up!"
With the skill of fine steel, Li Shimin had allowed the Shaofu Superintendent and the Ordnance Supervisor to accumulate a rich fortune in the past six months.
Unless an individual is personally unlucky, generals will never be in any danger when going on an expedition.
That's why he wanted to let Li Xuan take command and go on an expedition!
Unfortunately, Li Xuan doesn’t think so!
It's not easy for me to be able to live again, and my status is so respected. Basically, the emperor is the boss and he is the second child!
Moreover, he also found himself a beautiful wife, built a luxurious villa, and had hundreds of servants to serve him, unless he got tired of living such a life.
Otherwise, he would never lead troops to fight.
Although, with the protection of personal guards and his own strange strength, he is not afraid of anyone at all.
However, everything has surprises.
Anyway, in the final analysis, Li Xuan felt that he had not enjoyed enough of his current lazy life and had no intention of leading troops to fight.
Moreover, this year, he had already created fine steel and medical kits as war weapons for Li Shimin or the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. These achievements were enough to offset his title of King of Jin.
As for leading troops to fight, opening up territories, making achievements, and honoring his ancestors, there is no need for him to fight with those generals!
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents!
And if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, and become a general and a marquis, I'm afraid you will be cursed for the rest of your life!
He would never do such a disgusting thing!
"Come, Your Majesty, this big piece of pig leg is cooked and ready to eat!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, took down the big hind leg that was first placed on the side, and took out two small daggers from the side, placed one on the table, held one in his own hand, and began to cut the meat.
Although the pieces of meat skewered on the iron picks are also large pieces of meat as big as walnuts, and there are a lot of skewers on each iron pick, it is still a bit different from chewing a big pig leg.
"eat!"
Li Shimin also laughed at this, took the dagger, and started to eat the meat.
Never bring up the subject of conquest again!
"Xuanba, I have used concrete to build two cities with a radius of 10,000 troops in Shuofang and other frontier areas! Let the Turk Jieli kid be in panic all day long!"
"As for the drought-stricken states in the Guan, thousands of large and small ditches have been built along the Yellow River! Even more than 400 ditches have been built in Hedong, Henan and other places! Those common people each have at least
I have saved a lot of money, so I won’t be too hungry this year!”
While eating, Li Shimin started talking about other things!
"His Majesty is wise, hiding wealth among the people is the foundation of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly and looked up at the farmers and slaves who were eating and their mouths were full of oil.
"The people of the Tang Dynasty were very hard-working. Not only did they have to work hard at farming, they also took time out to hunt in the mountains, dig wild vegetables, and hoard all kinds of edible things. But even so, only a small number of them could eat it every day.
full."
"Most people often don't have enough to eat, and even when faced with natural disasters and cannot cope with it, their families will be destroyed, or even the whole family will starve to death!"
"Normally, unless we are cultivating the farmland, we should find a way for these farmers to survive. Even if they can't save much money, when there is a natural disaster and the fields are harvestless, they still need to find a way to survive.
You can use your strength to earn food for your mother-in-law and children, and feed the whole family!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but stop.
He raised his head and looked at the excited people eating around him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Xuanba's words are very reasonable!"
"These bankers are really lucky to have such a proprietor like Your Highness!"
"Having them is my blessing!"
Li Xuan sighed with emotion.
Immediately, with the surprised expressions on Li Shimin and others' faces, they picked up a bowl of cold boiled water and drank it.
"Everyone, you must have a good time today!"
With that said, Li Xuan stood up, walked straight to the meat table, smiled at the surprised cooks, took a large handful of meat skewers, and returned to the table.
Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were also surprised by this.
Immediately, he burst into laughter.
“It’s so fun to eat like this!”
As he said that, they all started to barbecue and eat themselves.
The group of people ate for two hours. After the sky darkened, Li Shimin and others headed for Chang'an City with the aroma of meat all over their bodies.
As for the farmers in Lijiazhuang, their faces were full of satisfaction.
Everyone's stomach is bulging with food.
On the meat table at the edge of the square, there are still dozens of kilograms of pig meat, chicken and duck meat left.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"
When Li Xuan was about to get up and leave, Li Chang and all the farmers and servants of Li Family Village quickly stood up and bowed down to thank Li Xuan.
"You are wrong!"
Li Xuan chuckled, "You deserve this meat!"
"Without you, these chickens, ducks, pigs and fish wouldn't be so fat! And I, the king, wouldn't be able to eat such delicious meat!"
"Starting from tomorrow, the number of chickens, ducks and pigs in the chicken, duck and pig pens will be expanded. Then, some chickens, ducks and pigs will be slaughtered every day. All farmers who want to eat can buy them at half price. This is my opinion.
Your welfare.
The rest will be transported to Chang'an City, and Lijiazhuang will officially start selling meat! In addition, you no longer need to hatch chickens and ducks for those eggs and duck eggs, you can also start selling them!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Hearing this, all the farmers and slaves were filled with joy.
After raising them for so long, they can finally start to eat the meat of chickens, ducks, pigs and fish.
As for what Li Xuan said about paying for it, that was exactly what they wanted. Only by paying for it could they buy food with confidence.
Although they are poor, they also have self-esteem!
Thinking of something, Li Xuan continued: "In addition, everyone has eaten so much meat today. You may have stomach discomfort tomorrow. You can take a day off tomorrow, and the same goes for the servants in the house."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All farmers and slaves thank you again.
However, he did not take what Li Xuan said about Xiu Mu to heart.
As farmers, they rely on cultivating the fields for food.
If you don't work for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over.
Moreover, the king respects them so much and gives them so much meat, how can they be lazy?
Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but secretly laugh. If you don't listen to this king, you will suffer the consequences tomorrow!
Tomorrow, you will know why I have made such a special statement!
Immediately, he walked to the other courtyard.
In my heart, I actually still have some expectations.
After waiting for so long, I can finally live in a luxurious house that no one has lived in since.
However, the night is long and the moonlight is so beautiful that only one person can sleep peacefully!
Thinking about it, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh secretly.
