Li Shimin

Chapter 56 Li Chengqian Returns to the Palace

……

After following Li Xuan back to the small courtyard, Li Xuan gave Li Chengqian a smaller fish basket and stuffed the big carp into it.

Immediately, let Li Chengqian go back first.

One is that he is too lazy to cook for Li Chengqian, and the other is that Li Chengqian is alone with him, so he also feels a little uneasy.

"Your Highness?"

Li Fu, the guard of the East Palace who was waiting at the entrance of the village, saw Li Chengqian coming out, and rushed to greet him.

"Back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

Hearing that he was finally going back to the palace, Li Fu was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled over the carriage and helped Li Chengqian up.

"Your Highness, what is this thing?"

Seeing the fish basket in Li Chengqian's hand, he looked curious.

"This is a big fish I caught, take it back and feed it to my father and queen!"

Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty and Empress Dowager will be very happy!"

Li Fu was also smiling.

Immediately, he took Li Chengqian and hurried to Chang'an City cautiously.

……

"Father, the child is back!"

Along the way, Li Chengqian trotted into the Taiji Palace with a happy face, carrying the fish basket.

As for the fish basket, since Li Chengqian carried it himself, no one checked it.

"Gao Ming looks so happy, but what is the happy event?"

Li Shimin, who was reviewing the memorial, looked up and saw Li Chengqian with a slightly happy expression.

"Going back to Father, the boy came back after touching a fat fish, and is going to let Father taste it!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face was full of joy, "Gao Ming touched it himself?"

"Exactly!"

At this moment, Li Chengqian had already put the fish basket on the ground, was about to open it, and took it out to show off to Li Shimin.

"Did you touch it in the river?"

"Returning to Father, it was during leisure time in the afternoon that Master took Gao Ming to the river, and fished out the big fish from the water cage in the river!"

Li Chengqian quickly explained at the same time.

"Since it's Gao Ming's filial piety, then I have to taste it!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was relieved.

"Father, please look, this is the big fish that Gao Ming touched. This big fish is fat and beautiful, and the meat must be very tender and delicious!"

Li Chengqian took the big fish out of the fish basket and held it in front of Li Shimin.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin looked up, and his eyebrows jumped instantly.

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Father, my son just discovered today that in Lijiazhuang, every farmer there will put a few water cages in the river, and wait until the next day to touch one side. Although it may not be possible to catch big fish, those farmer's , basically two or three days, can eat a meal of fish.

And if they went to the mountains to hunt again, they would be able to eat meat every day!This kind of life is richer than the food in the palace. "

Li Chengqian didn't know Li Shimin's reaction, but still said with joy on his face.

"That's right, it's a good fortune to have a young master here in the Li Family Village!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Then, he gave instructions to the servant at the side.

"Come here, bring the prince back to this carp, take it to Shangshi Bureau, steam and fry it well, I want to taste this fish together with the queen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the words fell, a servant came out from the side, took the carp, and walked out quickly.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled happily.

And at this time, Datang's law prohibiting the consumption of carp has not yet been promulgated.

Therefore, neither Li Chengqian nor the servants around him felt that there was anything wrong.

"Father, there is some good news for my son!"

Then, Li Chengqian continued.

"Oh?"

Now, with the carp from before, Li Shimin didn't dare to neglect anything, and quickly looked at Li Chengqian.

"What a beautiful thing?"

"Father, in recent years, the national treasury has been empty, and even the inner treasury of the palace has been empty again and again. Therefore, the boy asked the little master for a good way to make money!"

Li Chengqian said.

"Hahaha, Gao Ming is finally sensible and knows how to help me relieve my worries. Then tell me, what kind of method does the little master give you to make money?"

Li Shimin's face was overjoyed, but the joy was that his prince finally became sensible.As for the method of making money, Li Shimin didn't have much expectation.

What kind of money-making methods can a young master who lives in seclusion in the mountains all year round, no matter how evil he is, come up with?

"Returning to my father, the little master first wanted Gao Ming to open a shop, but Gao Ming thought it would be too much for the benefit of the people, so he refused. So, the little master asked Gao Ming to open a library!"

Li Chengqian introduced in detail: "In this library, my little master allows the sale of enlightenment alphabet books and number arithmetic books!"

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin was startled, his face full of surprise.

"Gao Ming, is it true that the little master said it himself?" Li Shimin asked again hastily.

"Father, this matter is absolutely true. At that time, I was also full of astonishment, and told my little master that the city of Chang'an had already been filled with libraries by various aristocratic families.

Therefore, the little master suggested to me to sell enlightenment dictionary books and mathematics arithmetic books directly! "

Li Chengqian quickly replied.

"So, very good!"

Li Shimin paused for a while, and then his face was full of joy. "I didn't expect that the little master would have such a saintly mind that he would agree to sell books on numbers and arithmetic and books on enlightenment letters for people all over the world to read!"

"Father, I don't know what's going on with this matter?"

Li Chengqian was full of confidence: "If these two books are sold, they will surely overwhelm all the libraries and bookstores in Chang'an City!"

"This is a very good thing!"

Li Shimin thought for a moment, but he sighed lightly.

"It's just that, as a hermit in the mountains, my little master has such a mind. And as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I use this book to seek money from the people of the world?"

"This?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was also taken aback.

"Gao Ming, as the master's disciple, I will leave it to you to open a library and sell these two books to scholars all over the world!"

Li Shimin continued.

"Father, child..."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian was taken aback.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your officials in the East Palace. As for compiling these two books, you can ask Li Gang and Kong Yingda for advice!"

Li Shimin said directly.

"It's just that you have to understand that these two books are an important task for the creation of the people in the world, and you must not pay too much attention to property. However, you can't sell them at a loss!"

"Yes, father, my child understands!"

After listening, Li Chengqian's expression gradually stabilized, his eyes filled with firmness.

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Li Shimin asked: "Gao Ming, these few days you went to Lijiazhuang to study with the young master, how did you learn?"

"Return to father, my child has learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within hundreds! ... In addition, to enlighten the alphabet, my child also..."

Li Chengqian continued to report.

"Okay, very good! Hahaha..."

After listening, Li Shimin was overjoyed.

"Okay, I haven't seen your mother all day, go and say hello to your mother!"

"Yes, Father!"

Thinking of Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

After saluting with Li Shimin and leaving, he walked quickly to the harem.
