Chapter 314: Li Shimin's Surprise
In the palace, Li Shimin heard that his son had returned, and his face showed a long-lost smile.
Although there were some troubles in the previous matter, for Li Shimin, once he made a decision, he would not regret it.
Now raising the food of the soldiers is only the first step, of course, Li Shimin has already begun to arrange the civil strife in Annan.
Although Annan is nothing in Li Shimin's eyes, Annan is not small according to the map given by his father.
Therefore, even if it takes a lot of time to travel, it is precisely in this situation that a lot of preparation is required.
For example, food, weapons, armor, etc., these must be prepared, as well as the words of the father before.
The environment in Annan is different, and it also needs to be equipped with some medicines, so it is best to send someone to understand the situation first.
This is quite easy to solve, after all, Annan belonged to the land of China at the beginning.
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly sigh that he used the word "father" well.
Just as Li Shimin's thoughts were flying, Li Tai's figure came slowly.
"Erchen has seen his father!"
Li Tai's voice sounded neither humble nor arrogant, and although there was respect in his words, there was no awe.
This voice directly detached Li Shimin from his thoughts.
Looking at Li Tai's figure, Li Shimin's face was a little complicated, because he saw a lot of shadows of his father in Li Tai.
It seems that because of the influence of his own father, Li Tai deliberately imitated that father.
Li Shimin hadn't discovered this at first, but now he has noticed it a little.
It's a pity that it's too late, and of course it's barely acceptable to imitate your own father.
Even if Li Shimin doesn't want to see this father, if you talk about your skills, Li Shimin has to admit that there are some people who are destined to be unparalleled.
"I don't know if Qingque has any insights from this study tour?"
With such a complicated mood, Li Shimin's voice sounded slowly, with a trace of concern in his words.
"Father, Qingque has been to twenty-five villages this time, met seventeen children, and found that it is not easy for the people."
Li Tai said with a hint of complexity on his face, and his words were obviously sincere.
In fact, long before Li Tai entered Chang'an, everything he saw and heard along the way was already on Li Shimin's desk.
Of course, these are just experiences, even Li Shimin didn't expect Qingque to remember clearly.
"I don't know, Qingque, can you tell my father what is difficult for the people?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a lot of interest when he heard Li Tai's words, and continued to speak.
Of course, this is a test of this son, and for Li Shimin, he still likes this fourth son among many sons.
Maybe it's because of the same hobbies, or maybe it's because they're both second sons.
In Li Tai, Li Shimin can see his original shadow, but unfortunately all this is a little different after Li Tai went to the academy.
Even Li Shimin didn't know that this son would change so much.
Although there is some helplessness, I can't find the little fat man before.
But Li Shimin didn't dwell too much on this matter, because people have to grow up after all.
You must know that Li Shimin when he was a child never thought about ascending to the throne, and whether he ever thought about the day when the Xuanwu Gate changed.
These are naturally not available, and it is precisely in this way that Li Shimin comforted himself that his son would grow up sooner or later anyway.
"Father, Grandpa An once taught me that there are many kinds of people."
"I haven't been able to understand it all along, but this time I finally understood it."
"So I think we in Datang need to make some changes, and we can't let the people lose hope."
......
Li Tai didn't know the complexity of his father's heart, but instead talked eloquently and told all his feelings this time.
Among them, according to what he saw and heard, the people were classified into many kinds.
Of course, the basis for the division is based on money, and among them, Li Tai is most concerned about some people who are so poor that they can't even afford to eat.
After all, it is inevitable to encounter occasional natural and man-made disasters, such as Li Tai seeing a family's field trampled by wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
Basically, half of the harvest was ruined, and it was a disaster for the people who just had enough to eat.
These people have been reduced to the bottom of the common people, and if there is no accident, they may be half hungry in the next few months, if not a year.
It can be said that these things made Li Tai feel very deeply, in his opinion, if a person can't see hope, then he will despair.
Then it will cause the source of instability, this is Grandpa An's theory, but it was all said by Li Tai at this time.
At the beginning, Li Shimin was more interested and tested about this son's words.
But with Li Tai's words, Li Shimin began to frown.
Because what Qingque said was not unreasonable, on the contrary, he said it very methodically, even Li Shimin couldn't find any problems.
"Give the people hope?"
Li Shimin muttered softly, knowing that he had not forgotten his father's words.
The first thing you want Datang to develop is to be full, that is, the problem of food.
The second thing is the population problem, and of course the first thing is to solve the first problem.
Although Li Shimin has determined the national policy, he has not implemented it in one step, but has followed a slow policy.
Of course, this was Li Shimin's last resort, because there was not enough money and food.
If there is enough money and food, Li Shimin will definitely develop as much as possible.
The current Qingque's problem reminded Li Shimin of this problem again.
"I don't know what the blue finch can do?"
Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Tai and he said slowly, with a hint of solemnity in his words.
Obviously, this time he didn't treat Li Tai as a child, and Li Tai naturally felt the change in his father, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
Fortunately, Li Tai still came up with something along the way, and then the voice continued to sound.
"Father, can't we subsidize these people who can't even eat?"
"But there are still some restrictions on this, and there are not some young and strong young people."
"It is also necessary to review the specific situation, and if it is really poor, it can be subsidized."
........
Although Li Tai said something unclear, Li Shimin still understood Qingque's thoughts, and his face couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The reason is simple, it seems that the idea of the blue finch is feasible, and of course it also requires a sum of money.
Even though Li Shimin had some hesitation on his face, he gritted his teeth in the end, obviously having an idea.
Because as long as Annan is taken, then I am afraid that there will be no food, at most a year.
