Chapter 283: Li Xiuning, thoughts
Chang'an Pingyang Princess Mansion
As Li Yuan's daughter-in-law and Li Shimin's sister, Li Xiuning naturally has no shortage of mansions.
Even because of the military exploits, there are not a few rewards, after all, Li Xiuning is already a princess.
It is also unrealistic to want to reward any more titles, and you can only compensate from another aspect.
So now the princess's mansion is very rich, of course, Li Xiuning's money is invested in the women's army.
The effect is also good, after all, women are indeed inferior to men in combat.
But these women's troops are exceptions, and almost everyone's strength is not weaker than the average sergeant.
"Tell me what happened during the period after Princess Ben left Chang'an."
Li Xiuning's eyes flickered and said softly, although she had not lived in Princess Pingyang's Mansion for a long time.
But there are still a lot of servants and slaves in charge, of course, these people should know a lot about what happened in Chang'an.
Because it is located in the eastern Liaodong region, it is basically unclear what happened in Chang'an.
So the first thing Li Xiuning did when she came back was to learn about what happened in Chang'an after she left.
"Yes, princess!"
A handmaid said with a look of excitement on her face, knowing that she had thought that the princess would not return.
I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, you have to know that although they are from Princess Pingyang's mansion, they are not there because of their master.
So I have a little less confidence to do things in general, and I even tolerate a lot of things.
Now that the master is back, it is naturally the time for them to raise their eyebrows, and of course she will not forget what the princess wants to know.
And as the maidservant told what had happened during this period of time, Li Xiuning's eyes gradually deepened.
When hearing about Shu'an, Li Xiuning's mood changed somewhat.
It's just that no one noticed the abnormality of this third lady.
"Didn't expect so much to happen after leaving?"
Li Xiuning's eyes flickered and he muttered softly, of course, there was some apprehension in his words.
Because he was just a teacher of Confucianism back then, he has now become a half-saint An Xuangong.
After thinking of this, Li Xiuning felt even more apprehensive in his heart, and some of his original careful thoughts seemed to be a little afraid to speak.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten her own teacher, who seemed to predict the heavens, so her hair turned white.
"Princess, the official family in Duke Anxuan's mansion has sent some things."
In this era, Qianlin's voice sounded in Li Xiuning's ears.
After returning to Chang'an, this commander in Liaodong naturally took over the position of the official family of the princess's mansion.
For the visitors of Shu Mansion, Qianlin naturally would not turn away, the reason is very simple, that is, she knew that her princess was a disciple of An Xuangong.
However, Qianlin didn't expect An Xuangong to take the lead in sending someone to the princess's mansion.
After all, although the identity of the princess is not bad, An Xuangong is even more terrifying, and on the way back from Liaodong, they have heard a lot about An Xuangong's name.
Not to mention that the current queen is still the righteous daughter of An Xuangong, and she is a close friend with the emperor.
In terms of identity, it can be said that it is no worse than the princess, plus it is the elder of the princess.
It stands to reason that the princess should be the first to visit, but I didn't expect to be the first to send someone.
"Let someone take it."
Li Xiuning's eyes lit up slightly, but at the same time, she felt a little lost in her heart, because she was just a disciple.
"Yes, princess!"
"Princess, are you going to visit An Xuangong first?"
Qian Lin spoke up first, but then hesitated for a while before her voice continued to sound.
Li Xiuning's face was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Qianlin to talk about this question.
After a simple thought, she knew Qianlin's thoughts, but Li Xiuning's eyes flashed a trace of confusion, and a faint voice sounded.
"The teacher doesn't care about that."
Having followed the teacher for a while, she knows her own character very well.
Qianlin nodded in understanding, and then went down to order the subordinates.
........
Although Princess Pingyang's return to Chang'an has attracted the attention of many ministers, it has not been mentioned much in the entire discussion of Chang'an.
The reason is very simple, that is, the issue of grain prices, because Li Shimin did not take any action.
Therefore, a large amount of grain still enters Chang'an every day, which can be said to make the faces of these grain merchants more stiff.
A bucket of rice in Chang'an has even fallen to the level of Sanwen, and the reason is very simple, that is, I am afraid that some of the grain will rot in my own hands.
Some people were still waiting and watching before, after all, the news in Lingnan is not necessarily accurate, and they have not been to Lingnan to see it in person.
However, these grains will not deceive people, and it is precisely for this reason that Chang'an grain has ups and downs.
These Tianmi merchants can be said to be unable to sleep well, and of course there are some smart people who have already sent people to Lingnan.
After all, there is such cheap grain in Lingnan, even if the cost of transportation to Chang'an is included, it is far cheaper than normal.
They naturally know how to choose, but fortunately, because of the price reduction, many people have begun to buy food.
Even ordinary people are full of joy on their faces, obviously very satisfied with the current food prices.
However, the people don't know how long the price of rice can last, so they took this opportunity to grit their teeth and buy more.
Of course, the people arranged by Shu An were also mixed in, and began to secretly purchase the grain of these grain merchants.
Compared with Pingyang's return to Chang'an, Shu An is more concerned about the issue of food prices.
Now that the bottom is a good return, Shu An naturally doesn't mind making some money.
And it's not bad to be able to let these people in Chang'an get benefits, after all, Shu An is still a traverser.
Although the ideas of his previous life were suppressed by Shu An, they were also influencing him.
After all, he didn't want to see so many people die of starvation in this era.
According to the eyes of his later generations, this era is not at all like this.
At least there should be no problem with food and clothing, even if there are no high-yield crops in later generations.
For example, the land of Lingnan is because Li Shimin does not pay attention to it, if hundreds of thousands of people are relocated to Lingnan.
Then Lingnan is enough to become half of the granary of the entire Datang, and it may not be so easy to feed the whole world, but it is still possible to feed half of the Datang.
Moreover, there is also the southwestern land, which is the land of Indochina in the later generations, which is also a good place.
After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help but shake his head, the meal still has to be eaten in one bite, and now there are still too many alien races around Datang.
Waiting for another two or three years, after the Datang national strength comes up, maybe he can let Li Shimin give it a try.
