The cemetery of the Li family does not occupy a large area, and since Li Anguo took power, he began to build it, and moved the tombs of his father and grandparents that the Li family could find here. It's also pitiful to say, Li Anguo was born in a poor family, and after he was developed, the ancestral graves that could be found were only his father's and grandfather's ancestors, which can be seen from the few spiritual tablets enshrined in the family temple.

The earlier grandfather's tomb was already covered with clouds, but around Li Anguo's grave, these pines and cypresses had just been planted, and they seemed a little out of climate.

For a long time, Li Ze has been guarding the tomb here, and it stands to reason that it is three years, but because of Li Ze's special identity, now the Tang Dynasty is preparing for a large-scale southern expedition, so it has been three years in March.

There is another person who should also come to guard the tomb, that is Li Zhan, Li Anguo's youngest son, and he should guard it for three years. However, Li Ze waved his hand and directly let Li Zhan go home, the reason is of course ready-made, Li Zhan's body is too weak, and he has to be taken care of by a large group of people at home, where can he suffer this in the cemetery?

Li Ze, as Li Anguo's eldest son, since he has spoken, others naturally have nothing to say.

However, in order to show filial piety, every ten days, Aunt Tao would take Li Zhan over in person.

For Li Ze's decision, Aunt Tao is very grateful. Let Li Zhan live in such a thatched hut for three years, where is she willing to do it? Aunt Tao also saw from this incident that Li Ze really felt sorry for this little brother.

The cemetery was very lively today, and when Aunt Tao came over, it happened that Xia He also brought Li Tang and Li Ning to visit Li Ze.

Li Tang was six years old, but Li Ning was the same year as Li Zhan, and the three little guys met together, but Li Tang was the leader, followed by two little tails.

"They have three uncles and nephews, but they get along very well." Aunt Tao watched Xia He put a thick stack of files on the table, knowing that the two of them had business to do, so she stood up: "I'll take care of the three of them!" ”

"There's Aunt Lao!" Li Ze smiled.

"Shiro is serious." Aunt Tao stood up and hurried away.

Looking at Aunt Tao's back, Xia He said, "This is a blessed one." ”

Speaking of which, Aunt Tao is really blessed, from a girl with no name to the side concubine of the county king of Zhenzhou, who is now prominent, although Li Anguo is gone, she has a son and a daughter. Daughter Li Xin married Jin Mantang's son Jin Buchang, and Jin Mantang's weight under Li Ze is self-evident, whether it is because of Li Zhan or Li Xin, Li Ze must give this aunt enough respect.

"If you know the importance and know the proportions, you will naturally be blessed." Li Zedao: "Have all the required military expenses been planned?" ”

"It's all the accounts." Xia He pushed the file in front of him in front of Li Ze, "I have prepared military funds for you for two years. Within two years, taking Chang'an will not have much impact on the economy of the entire Northland. Of course, the impact is inevitable, after all, as soon as the war starts, a large number of people will be conscripted, and trade routes will be cut off, but fortunately, our income to the northwest, northeast and overseas is increasing year by year, and most of the losses can be compensated. ”

"Maybe it won't take two years!" Li Ze picked up the file and doubled it, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, in the past few years, in order not to affect the overall situation of the economic development of the Northland, you have to raise so much military spending, you have been scolded miserably." ”

Xia He smiled and said: "If they want to scold, they will scold, anyway, they don't dare to scold in front of me, since it is scolding behind my back, I just don't know." It's no wonder that they, who let you, the prime minister, uphold the principle of doing things only by looking at the results and ignoring the process? But if you want to do a good job, you naturally need money. It's easy to do things if you have money! If you don't have the money to do things well, they don't dare to scold you, so they have to scold me. ”

Li Ze laughed and reached out to hold Xia He's hand, "It's really hard for you." ”

"In your words, Childe, it's pain and happiness!" Xia He said: "A few days ago, Gongsun Changming and I went to discuss things, and at the end, he just said some strange things. ”

"What did he say?"

"You also know that Mr. Gongsun has always spoken in a round-and-forth manner, but I understand the final meaning, he is persuading me to find someone to take over the affairs of the household department as soon as possible!" Xia He said: "After a while, I may not be suitable to be a household secretary anymore." ”

"What do you think?" Li Ze looked at Xia He with interest.

Xia He lowered his voice and said softly: "Childe, do you want to be the emperor?" That lady is naturally the queen, I have to be a concubine, right? ”

"Do you prefer to be a household secretary or a concubine?" In front of Xia He, Li Ze was the most comfortable. The two grew up together since childhood, and Li Ze was willing to tell Xia He about many things, but he didn't tell Liu Ruyan. Because Xia He has been smoked and educated by him since she was a child, her true thoughts are the closest to Li Ze.

"I actually prefer the feeling of doing things!" Xia He said: "Childe, even if you become the emperor and I become the concubine, I don't want to nest in the deep palace, it will suffocate people." I don't think Madame will be able to bear it either. ”

"Do you want to take on this household book as a concubine? I'm afraid that those ministers won't do it! Li Zedao.

"Naturally, the book of the household department can't be done." Xia He said with some loss: "I really like to deal with these numbers, but since I can't do it, I can only do it, when the time comes, I will go to Wuwei Academy to teach!" While teaching, I studied the books on finance and economics written by Childe. There are a lot of things that I am in the fog right now, and I don't understand the essentials at all. Wuwei Academy is full of elites, and I may be able to understand more by discussing with them while teaching. ”

"Whatever you want!" Li Zedao: "The important thing for a person to live for a lifetime is to be happy." As we told you when we were very young, the most important thing in life is to be able to control your own destiny and do what you are happy with. ”

"Will Wuwei Academy move to Chang'an then?"

"At that time, it will be time for Wuwei Academy to be split." Li Zedao: "The current Wuwei Academy is too big, and it should be split into professional academies one by one, but it only needs a lot of money, and it can only come step by step." ”

"The Financial Accounting Academy must be moved to Chang'an!" Xia Ho Road.

"No problem." Li Ze spread his hands and said, "Then have you figured out who will take your place?" ”

He said that Sun Lei was the most suitable, but his qualifications were a little shallow. What's more, his background is a little too thin. Therefore, it is most appropriate to let Wang Mingyi take over one term first, let Sun Lei assist him, and then Sun Lei will take over. Xia He said.

"Didn't Wang Mingyi, that kid always want to be an official? Although he is now in the position of a tobe squire, his interest is still in business, right? Li Zedao.

"Still let him hang the title of the head of the household, well, let Sun Lei do it. Otherwise, Sun Lei will not be able to withstand the pressure of other ministries at that time. Childe, think about it, the heads and brains of the other departments, any one of them can crush Sun Lei to death. But the household department has to let a knowledgeable person do it, and change a person, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to read the accounts for a while. Xia He shook his head and said: "Wang Mingyi has a big head and an iron head, and he is right in front of the top cylinder." ”

Li Ze couldn't help laughing: "You are trying to protect your descendants, and you don't hesitate to betray Wang Mingyi!" This kid is a head iron, but he is not stupid, and he may not be willing to do it? ”

"I'll tell Wang Wenshu then." Xia He smiled: "Wang Wenshu must be willing to let his son do this position, even if it is temporary." ”

"This matter can be slowed down, let's talk about it after we have laid down Chang'an!" Li Ze said: "Gongsun Lao'er, a few of them, have been mysterious and mysterious during this time. ”

"In just the past ten days, the internal guards have arrested several more groups of assassins." Xia He was a little worried. "One of them has already dived to more than ten miles from here."

"I know." Li Ze said: "It would be strange if these people could come to me. Zhu Youzhen is now inferior, and he actually wants to use this method, which is really ridiculous and generous. ”

"It's a good thing, it failed, but it lost a few dead soldiers, what if it succeeded?" Xia He said: "The internal guards have increased the protection of the periphery. ”

"I don't have any problems here, but you, you should be careful when entering and leaving. When you go back, let Aunt Tao take Xiao Zhan to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and find a reason for it. Where the manor is protected is not without loopholes. ”

"Okay." Xia He nodded: "We can't help but worry, now that I and Yu'er Ning'er have come out, the guards accompanying us are hundreds, unless the other party has an army, where can there be any threat to us?" In fact, when it comes to such a time, I envy Madame very much, her kung fu, even if the assassin walks to her side, he can only give away the head. ”

"One of your pens is not as good as her gun." Li Zedao: "Each has its own strengths, Chunlan and autumn chrysanthemums, each has its own charm." ”

Xia He's eyebrows were slightly raised, looking a little proud.

"In a month, you can go back, and the front line will also be moving." Xia He said: "Presumably, now, Mrs. is in Jiangnan, and she has already started to do it." ”

"Ezhou, naturally, we have to take it first." Li Zedao.

The two were talking, but Xia He caught a glimpse of Tian Bo striding in from outside.

"Tian Bo, it can't be that you caught the assassin again, right?" Xia He asked.

"No, Mrs. Xia!" Tian Bo bowed slightly, and said, "Childe, Yuan Chang has sent back the news in an urgent manner for eight hundred miles, and our army has taken Qiuzi." ”

"Why Yuan Chang?" Li Ze was slightly stunned.

"Xue Ping has left the Western Regions and is rushing back!" Tian Bo said: "Yuan Chang said in the secret letter that Xue Ping's resignation from the Western Regions was still on the road, but Xue Ping set off after sending this excerpt, and when he left, he entrusted all the affairs of the Western Regions to Yuan Chang. ”
