Chapter 31 You really dare to say it, kid.

The emperor was furious, and the audience fell silent.

Li Xian raised his head slightly, looked at Li Shimin who stood proudly at the head of the palace, and murmured in his heart.

[As for?Since ancient times, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been inevitable. If we take precautions in advance, how many lives can be saved. 】

[Why is this trivial matter so serious? 】

[Isn't the situation in the south all good?Two crops a year, and more farming in the coming year, the loss in the north can be easily recovered. 】

【Benefits and powers, the reclaimed farmland is also the credit of the Ministry of Households after all, isn't it?But don't discourage enthusiasm, thousands of acres, that is the result of the hard work of the people. 】

snort!
This kid is all about scaring people!

Li Shimin's tense cheeks gradually eased, and he took a seat with strides, leaning back on the chair.

"My dear friends, I hope you can remember what you said today, and don't take it lightly in the future."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's tone softened, and most of the sternness in his eyes dissipated.

"The Minister of the Household."

"The minister is here."

The old official was already so frightened that his legs trembled, and the figure bowed beside Li Xian trembled. Hearing Li Shimin's nomination this time, his body trembled, and his words trembled.

The majestic words turned into peace, even with a bit of praise.

"It's really not easy to reclaim wasteland and farmland. Officials at all levels of the Ministry of Household Affairs have contributed a lot to the cultivation of such fertile land from the north and the south, and they should be rewarded."

"what?"

When the veteran heard the word "reward", he raised his head in astonishment and exclaimed.

The emperor's heart is like a deep abyss, as if the situation is changing, it is really unpredictable.

He was still severely reprimanded just now, but this time he actually mentioned the word reward?
The ministers who bowed their heads and listened slowly raised their heads, and when they saw the smile returning to the emperor's cheeks, they let out a long sigh of relief.

Longyan Joy is better than any reward!

The solemn and oppressive sky above the court hall seemed to dissipate into nothingness in an instant.

The stunned old minister was quite slow, and when all the ministers came back to their senses, he had an epiphany and said with his hands clasped.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households aims to benefit the people, and these are what the Ministry of Households should do."

"Reward, it's still unnecessary."

Li Shimin completely ignored the Minister of the Household Department, and shifted his gaze to Li Xian.

"Li Xian, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and set an example for you to follow others."

"Let me ask you, what kind of reward do you think is appropriate? How much reward is appropriate?"

Ok?
Li Xian looked dazed, met that interested gaze, and pointed at himself with a hint of surprise in his pupils.

【I? 】

[Li Er, are you kidding me?I'm only able to enter the day, and I don't know how many grades of officials are paid. Let me talk about rewards? 】

The figure sitting on the dragon seemed to like to see Li Xian's confused expression, instead he chuckled and waved his hands casually.

"Li Xian, say whatever you want, right now you are the Minister of the Household Department."

"How much reward you want, let me weigh it in my heart."

Li Xian was dumbfounded, his eyes widened even wider.

[Is this trying to embarrass me?I said how much do you give?Aren't you afraid that I will empty your imperial warehouse? 】

[However, according to me, this reward should not be too much. 】

[The bobbin car of the previous dynasty, such a good irrigation tool, has not been promoted or reformed.The Zhiyuan plow has been used for so long, and the household department doesn't know how to improve it?Tired of steering?Also, many officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs are playing with mud in the fields?Transplantation cultivation, cross-planting, is it impossible to think of such a simple problem?Do you want to follow exactly what your ancestors left behind? 】

【Hi!Speaking of which, there are really too few reforms and innovations in the Ministry of Households, so why don't we reward eight hundred shi?How much is it? 】

Touching his chin for a while, Li Xian didn't remember the unit conversion, so he simply said it tentatively.

"Why don't you give me eight... one hundred stones first?"

puff.

Hubu Shangshu staggered in fright on the spot.

You really treat Datang food like grass!

The annual salary of a third-rank official is worth [-] shi, and a small reward is [-] shi?

You are trying to push this old man into the fire pit!

The old official pressed Li Xian's arm, sweat dripped from his pale old face, he glanced cautiously at the chief seat, and said softly.

"You can't, you can't, Mr. Li!"

"The old minister's meritorious service is insignificant, and he must not be rewarded with such a heavy reward. You are... this is an old man who is broken!"

Call ~
Sitting on Li Shimin raised his brows high.

This kid really opened his mouth like a lion, and he didn't even emptied the Huangcang.

The small rewards that are said on the lips are the amount of swallowing the sky.

No way, no matter how many numbers I let Li Xian blow up, I have to bear it!

Flicking off his sleeve robe, Li Shimin eased the look on his cheeks and replaced it with a slight smile.

"it is good!"

"I will reward you with eight hundred stones and the officials of the household department."

"This amount of food will be used to attract skilled craftsmen from all over the world, remake agricultural tools, and study planting skills!"

hiss~
The courtiers in the entire palace gasped.

what's the situation?
Li Xian said casually, His Majesty really rewarded him?
Is this kid a God of Wealth?

Hubu Shangshu was a little trembling with excitement, holding Li Xian's arm tightly, his eyes were full of gratitude.

After kowtowing to His Majesty, he did not forget to bow to Li Xian.

Seeing an opportunity to take advantage of, the Minister of the Ministry of War strode up to the hall and clasped his hands.

"Your Majesty, Longyou Dao has a well-manned garrison, cultivating fields and hoarding land, digging mountains and quarrying rocks."

"Now it has benefited one side, and the army and the people are happy. The minister thinks it is a commendation and commendation, and praises the three armies."

The words were very straightforward, but Li Xian didn't take it seriously, but suddenly realized it.

[Longyou has dense forests and vast grasslands, so it is still feasible to farm, and open mountains?Isn't this destroying grasslands and cutting down vegetation? 】

[No wonder the Longyou Daohui landslide at the end of July, and many people were buried here. It turned out that the Longyou Daoist garrison only cared about quarrying stones, and failed to care about the safety of the people! 】

[Did you know that a large number of mountains will cause mudslides to flood and fertile land will be lost?Destroying vegetation will also destroy the original grassland, causing deserts to appear there? 】

[If you catch the horse cubs and sheep cubs, you can raise horses and herd sheep well, won’t you?Tuntian returns to Tuntian, why open a mountain?Do you have to do these thankless things? 】

[Still want a reward?Are you dreaming? 】

Li Shimin frowned when he heard the voice from his heart.

Vegetation, mudslides and other words are a bit raw, but the meaning is completely clear.

This Longyou garrison did bad things with good intentions!

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, Li Shimin stared at the excited figure of His Highness, and said in a deep voice.

"reward?"

"Your Minister of the Ministry of War also wants to reward?"

The heavy accent only made the Minister of the Ministry of War feel cold, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. Looking into Li Shimin's eyes, he felt that a storm was coming.

"Wei Chen..."

With lowered eyes, Li Shimin got up slowly, walked towards the stairs step by step, and appeared in sight.

"Sometimes, look more and think more. The safety of the nomads around you and the vegetation on which they live are gifts from heaven."

"You Longyou soldiers represent the Great Tang, you should set an example and respect the customs of the local people."

"What I said, do you understand?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War dared to have any objection, but after hearing this tone, he knew in his heart that the soldiers of Longyou had done something wrong, so they quickly surrendered.

"Weichen... understand."

Li Shimin strode out of the hall, flicked his sleeves and made a dull sound in the air, which only made the Minister of the Ministry of War tremble.

Looking at the emperor who disappeared in the hall, Li Xian, who turned his head to look, shook his head slightly, and walked out of the hall, said to himself.

"It shouldn't be, it's obviously the same thing, how could it be like this?"
