The scent is so enticing that when you smell it, you can't walk.

"It smells so good!" Li Tai shouted.

Before everyone walked to the stall, Xia Hongsheng said inside: "Six skewers of meat, three burritos, cut in the middle and divide into six portions." ”

Then he turned his head and explained to Li Shimin: "There are a lot of delicious things in the back, but I don't dare to eat enough here." Take a bite of the same, and when this street passes, I'm afraid it will have to hold on. ”

Li Shimin nodded, the meat skewers had been handed over, Xia Hongsheng took the mutton skewers, and one person shared a skewer, Li Lizhi belonged to the woman's family, and the store had already thoughtfully pulled her share of meat off the skewer and propped it on a small piece of oiled paper for her.

Xia Hongsheng took the meat skewer, took a piece of mutton in one bite, and chewed it a few times: "It's delicious!" ”

Li Chengqian and a few people followed Xia Hongsheng out for a barbecue I don't know how many times, they will eat, but Li Shimin has never eaten like this, seeing Xia Hongsheng's way of eating, he learned to eat a bite, and immediately his eyes lit up: "It's really good!" ”

"Hehe, it's all thanks to a few spices. Evodia, cumin, that is, benzoin fennel, especially this cumin, is the most suitable meat. Xia Hongsheng said: "It's just that we Datang don't have cumin, and we have to rely on caravans to bring it back from the Western Regions." Xia Hongsheng said.

Everyone walked down the road, quite dazzled. Those snacks are all kinds of things, and even Li Shimin has shown great interest in those snacks. As soon as you come across a snack stall, you should walk up and have a look. The three brothers were also very happy to eat, and Li Shimin tasted two bites of a plate of fried noodles, and the rest was wiped out by the three brothers in a few bites.

There are also a lot of people gathered around the game stalls in the middle of the snack stalls, and Li Shimin can't look like the emperor at this moment, holding a xiaolongbao in one hand and a fried fish in the other. While gnawing, he stood in the crowd and watched the ring, and saw that he was almost about to lasso something, and it was a pity that he shouted with the people around him, as if even he himself had forgotten that he was the king of a country.

Xia Hongsheng has been by his side, and he said in his heart that the people who secretly protect them are so worried. But look at the way he looks now. What's the difference with these ordinary people here? Xia Hongsheng felt that he suddenly developed a feeling of compassion for the world. Even if you are the emperor, you are still an ordinary person after all. Liu Chemao's tomb is more sluggish, and Ying Zhengzi's coffin is abalone.

If only there were gods and goddesses in this world, people would no longer have to suffer and have short days, and they would not have to be in the dust. Maybe there really is, otherwise why would I return to the era of Datang?

After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng laughed at himself again, how could he have this kind of thought, it seems that he was poisoned by feudalism! Ha ha!

The crowd has been playing in Weihe Park for an afternoon. Li Shimin had a good time, tried almost every game, and reaped a lot of loot. In fact, they are all small things that are not valuable, but the happiness of harvest is no less than those precious treasures. Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai are miserable at this time. Originally, it was Xia Hongsheng who wanted to go over to help Li Lao Er take the loot he won by playing those games, but Li Chengqian and several people rushed to prevent Xia Hongsheng from taking it in order to show themselves in front of his father, but to take it himself. Xia Hongsheng had no choice but to give them all. But they didn't expect it. Li Shimin actually played so many games, and those loot had already occupied their arms.

Until the sun sets. Only then did Li Shimin finish walking the entire long street, sat on the stone chair on the embankment by the river, and rested in the warm breeze.

Xia Hongsheng saw that he was sweating profusely, so he went over to an old woman next to him and left a few pennies and brought over a few bowls.

"Mung bean soup. Add ice cubes and sugar. Xia Hongsheng went over and presented the bowl to Li Shimin with both hands.

Li Shimin ate and played all the way, and it was a dry mouth at this time, so he took it and swallowed a few mouthfuls, and the ice cubes were iced. The mung bean soup with some sugar is cool and sweet, and after a few bites of a bowl, I suddenly feel refreshed.

"If you say you didn't get these things, then I'm the first to don't believe them." Li Shimin went down with a bowl of chilled bean soup, and suddenly became comfortable and lively again, while blowing the warm smoke breeze by the river, he said: "I heard Chengqian and them say before, Jingyang is extremely interesting, think about it, that's it, right?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, they are the farmers of Jingyang Jishang Weichen. At present, taking advantage of the civil and military conference, Weichen asked them to put their stalls here to do it, and they can also make a lot of money. Xia Hongsheng said: "This is actually a good thing. The dealers came to do business and had money in their hands. If you have money, you will want to improve your life, and you will spend it. When they buy something and spend it, the other people get money, and they get it, and they spend it again. In this way, the total amount of wealth in a certain period of time has not changed much, but because of circulation, everyone's life has improved. Wechen noticed that the imperial court paid a lot of taxes to farmers, but not much to merchants. This is a big piece of wealth, Wechen dared to make a prediction today, as long as no one deliberately obstructs the development of commerce, don't look at this group all day long to talk about the word profit, one day, if the imperial court begins to collect taxes on this group through various projects, then this group will become the main source of national wealth, and even can offset the taxes that farmers have to pay, so that farmers do not have to pay taxes. ”

"You're not right, if all the people in the world go into business like your farmer, then who will go to farming? If there is no one to cultivate, where will the food come from? Food is the foundation of the country, and if there is no food, there will be chaos. Li Shimin shook his head and said.

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "If there is really that time, Weichen should go to grow food." If the majority of the population gave up their fields to go into business, there would be a shortage of food, and the shortage would mean that the price would be higher. If the price is high, the wealth will be high, and it will be more profitable to sell grain, so there will be people who will see this opportunity and grow grain to sell. There is naturally a set of supply and demand laws in this. Of course, this is also inseparable from the intervention of the imperial court. The policy of the imperial court could be tilted towards farming, encouraging people to farm. According to different situations, the imperial court adjusted its policies to support different groups of people, and to maintain balance. ”

"No, food has to be guaranteed. If there is not a certain number of people who grow food, there will not be enough food. As Xia Qing said, some people think that growing food can be exchanged for money, so they grow grain to sell. But in fact, there is no way to wait for someone who thinks that growing food is more profitable. Li Shimin shook his head again and said.

"Your Majesty is wise. You see it thoroughly. Xia Hongsheng nodded: "So Weichen has been thinking of a way to make the output of grain meet the required quantity after the population of farming decreases, at least not a way to regress." There is only one way, and that is to increase production. For example, if 10 people farm the land, they can grow food for 20 people, but now 5 out of 10 people don't farm the land. If the grain production can be increased, and the amount grown by five people is much greater than that grown by ten people, and it can still feed twenty people, then the problem that His Majesty fears will not occur. ”

"Can you figure it out?" Li Shimin looked at Xia Hongsheng and asked.

"Champa rice!" Xia Hongsheng said. (To be continued.) )
