Of course, the benefits of this kind of 'knowledge' in the emperor's heart are not very clear to those from aristocratic families.
In fact, even Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo didn't know very well that they were more important in the heart of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty than their family master!
Thinking about it, Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed and he glared at several people fiercely.
"I didn't expect that the two generations of families could actually build such a house in Xuanba Manor. You bastards don't even have one, and you pretend to be Xuanba's disciples!"
"Aye, I have a small courtyard in the Confucius Courtyard!"
Li Chengqian reported in a low voice.
"Is it this big?"
Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian again.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others were silent.
"Let's talk to Xuan Ba tomorrow. I want a house like this!" Li Shimin said with a look of disgust.
"ah?"
Li Chengqian was stunned.
"What?"
Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian closely, which shocked Li Chengqian and others.
"Aye, do you still remember the villa you built here before?"
Li Chengqian said softly.
"Um?"
Li Shimin was stunned and subconsciously looked into the distance.
Sure enough, in the place he remembered, there was a courtyard made of cement.
If Li Chengqian hadn't mentioned it, Li Shimin would have forgotten it!
"Isn't that the courtyard I built before under the supervision of the general? Why is it like this...?"
"Going back to Aye, when Master was building a villa for Lijiazhuang, Aweng asked Master to rebuild your small villa with cement and concrete!"
Li Chengqian quickly replied.
"I see!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin looked happy.
Immediately, he glared at Li Chengqian again.
"You bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"snort!"
With that said, Li Shimin took steps towards the other courtyard.
Behind him, Li Chengqian, Li Wei and others quickly followed.
Soon, several people arrived at the other courtyard.
Since Li Shimin did not send anyone to take over the house, and Li Yuan did not want to live here alone, the other courtyard remained empty.
There wasn't even a single piece of furniture inside.
When Li Wei opened the door, Li Shimin couldn't wait to walk in.
This villa was also built by Gongsun Nian, the prisoner, so it was built with great care.
Although it is not as big as Li Xuan Villa, it is still nearly one hundred acres.
"hiss……"
Just entering the main room and not having a good experience, Li Shimin couldn't help but shudder subconsciously.
"Why is it so cold here?"
Seeing Li Shimin trembling, Li Chengqian and others were shocked, but after hearing Li Shimin's question, they immediately relaxed and chuckled.
"Aye, the cement house will be so shady and cool in the dog days when the sun can't penetrate it!"
"Really?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and then he thought about it for a moment. It seemed that it was particularly cool in Li Xuan's house.
He nodded secretly, not expecting that a cement house would have such benefits.
Then, he became angry again.
"A bunch of bastards, this concrete house is cooler than Yuhua Palace, you bastards, you didn't tell me earlier!"
"Aye, calm down!"
Li Chengqian quickly bowed his hands and saluted with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Please clean up this courtyard as soon as possible. Your mother and I can both live in it. We live in the Tai Chi Palace and are about to get prickly heat!"
Li Shimin said angrily, then looked at it carefully for a while, and then left for Chang'an with a satisfied face.
Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others, who were left in a daze, looked at each other and quickly sent someone to find the general as prisoner.
…
And outside the Liangyi Hall.
Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others all waited with helpless expressions.
Originally, after finally seeing Li Wei back, they rushed over early, but unexpectedly they were still a step late.
However, walking from outside the palace to Liangyi Palace is not easy and quite tiring.
Moreover, it was still such a hot weather, so the few of them were not ready to go back. Instead, they all leaned on the hook and chatted.
As for Cheng Zhijie, he just lay down on the hook and started snoring.
In this way, I waited for an hour before I saw Li Shimin and Li Wei walking in from outside the palace.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Several people looked happy and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Hey, why are you waiting here?"
Seeing so many people, Li Shimin looked confused.
"Your Majesty, I was waiting outside the palace. When I saw Li Wei coming back, I hurriedly entered the palace to see Your Majesty!"
Cheng Zhijie said quickly.
"I see!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin glanced at a few people with a normal expression and walked in.
"May I ask if your majesty is happy?"
Sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of herbal tea and moistening their throats, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, then cupped their hands towards Li Shimin and asked with some expectancy.
Hearing this, Li Shimin was startled, then realized something and quickly straightened his expression.
"Have you ever visited Xuanba's Zhuangzi?"
"Prince Zhuangzi of Jin?"
Several people were stunned.
Fang Xuanling asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, are you talking about Zhuangzi after His Royal Highness the King of Jin has built it?"
"Um!"
Li Shimin nodded slowly.
At this time, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but look curious.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what rare objects have come to the Jinwang Manor?"
“It’s indescribable, you need to experience it yourself!”
Li Shimin couldn't help but reveal a smile.
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others felt as if they had been scratched by a cat, itching very much.
"His Majesty……"
Li Shimin waved his hand directly and said: "Okay, the reason why you have been waiting here for so long is probably because of the construction of the cement road!"
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others quickly straightened their expressions and looked at Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty is wise, but I wonder if there are really thieves secretly obstructing that cement road?"
"Someone is indeed causing trouble secretly!"
Li Shimin sighed softly, and then said a few names from his mouth.
"How dare they do this?"
Changsun Wuji looked angry and his face was gloomy.
"Your Majesty, I will lead a team of troops to knock on their door and capture those officials who secretly colluded and hand them over to Your Majesty!"
Cheng Zhijie stared and said angrily.
"No need, Xuanba has already come up with countermeasures!" Li Shimin chuckled.
"Your Majesty, what kind of brilliant plan is this?"
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but look curious.
At this time, Li Shimin did not continue to talk about it, and said all the suggestions made by Li Xuan.
"In business, it can be done in glass, salt, fried tea, etc..."
"Wonderful!"
After listening, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but clapped their hands and praised him.
"I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Jin would cooperate with these aristocratic families to do business together and have such a plan. His Highness the King of Jin is far-sighted and far-sighted, and I can't match it!"
"I never thought that doing business together with those aristocratic families would have such a miraculous effect! From now on, all businesses such as glass and fried tea can be cooperated with those aristocratic families!"
Li Shimin was also full of joy.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling and others quickly raised their hands and said yes.
Afterwards, Changsun Wuji frowned and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the King of Jin said is absolutely true. Fang Jiansi and Lu Jiansi are away from home all year round and often deal with local officials from aristocratic families. They need someone with a distinguished status who is not afraid of any aristocratic family or officials.
Chief Officer!"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong and others nodded slowly.
"Does the auxiliary machine have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, I haven't thought of a suitable candidate for a while!" Changsun Wuji quickly bowed his hands in salute.
