Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Chengqian has changed. This is what everyone around him thinks. The prince, who had been a licentious man for the past six months, dismissed all the musicians and singers he had hired on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. All the horses were sent to the prince's six rates to be raised. Raised according to military horse standards. The ministers in the Prince's Mansion were extremely shocked. Even the princess was wondering what happened to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian would attend every morning meeting. But he doesn't always want to express himself in front of Li Shimin like before. He just watched silently. Listen to how Li Shimin discussed with the courtiers. Why should we decide this way? Even if Li Tai is extremely active. Li Chengqian was also unmoved. Occasionally, he would praise Li Tai's ideas in court. This approach made these veterans very satisfied, almost with tears in their eyes. When the prodigal prince returns, there is hope for the country of Tang Dynasty.

Even if the censor from the aristocratic family impeached him for trivial matters. He will also take the initiative to admit his mistakes. The Li Tai group was unable to do anything to Li Chengqian. To be strong without desire is what Li Chengqian is like now. Li Shimin was also very satisfied with Li Chengqian's changes. Occasionally, Li Chengqian would be brought along when major decisions were discussed in the Liangyi Palace, and Li Chengqian listened to Li Shen's words. If you have something to do, study political affairs, and if you have nothing to do, go out and play. Or go horse riding and play golf in Liusuli. He himself felt a lot happier.

The change of the prince made the situation between North Korea and China more stable. But Li Shimin has a lot less worries. He remembered Li Shen's words that he should pave the way for the prince, so that the prince would be very relaxed after he succeeds to the throne.

Three months have passed. It’s already November. Today is the meeting of the imperial court, and the matters discussed are all matters in various parts of the country. It's the same as usual. Near the end. Censor Cui Renzhi stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am impeaching King Ji Li Shen for hoarding rare goods and hoarding grain, causing the food price in Chang'an to rise by [-]%. He maliciously raised prices and engaged in illegal business. He competed with the people for profit. The rise in food prices has made the people panic. I hope your Majesty will severely punish King Ji and shut down the government. His workshop. Give justice to the people of Chang'an."

"I second the proposal. Prince Ji is buying grain on a large scale, which is a rare commodity. If things go on like this, it will be easy for the people to revolt." The censor of the Wang family of the aristocratic family.

"Subsidiary"

"Subsidiary"

Several officials from the family stood up. Demanding severe punishment for Li Shen.

"Wang De, call Prince Ji over." Li Shimin ordered

After a while, Li Shen said. I already know what happened on the way. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Shen asked Boutique Pavilion to purchase grains on a large scale. On the one hand, it’s for wine making. On the other hand, Li Shen intends to raise food prices a bit. It doesn’t matter if there is more food anyway. Aged grain can also be used to make wine. Moreover, food reserves can also be used to prevent disasters. He dug a cave while digging coal in the mountains behind Dahuangzhuang. Five thousand grains were stored. I bought it from five cents to now seven cents a dou. 80 buckets, which is more than 8 loads of grain. And the winery has been built. On the edge of Dahuangzhuang. Hundreds of people are hired from Dahuangzhuang and Xiaohuangzhuang to make wine. The backyard of Boutique Pavilion is mainly responsible for the brewing of high-end wine.

Regular drinks and high-end drinks are available in the Boutique Pavilion. The ordinary price is two for one. The price is the same as the Cui Family’s Immortal Drunk. A high-end five-money jar. Within half a month it became popular in the market. Many restaurants go to the Boutique Pavilion to purchase goods. The purchase price is usually [-] yuan per piece. High-end Siguiqian. And merchants purchased large quantities and sold them to all parts of the country. This had a great impact on the Cui family's wine business. There was no way the Cui family chose to lower the price. The Boutique Pavilion followed closely behind. The regular models have always kept the same price as Cui’s. In more than two months, the Cui family's wine business has plummeted. Occupying the first floor of Cui's house, the revenue from the wine business is very small. There is no momentum anymore. The Cui family knew that this was Li Shen's revenge. But how could the family be afraid of a little prince like you? That’s why today’s impeachment meeting was held

"I've met Aye. I wonder why Aye called the child here." Li Shen saluted.

"Cui Yushi and many court officials impeached you for hoarding rare goods and hoarding food. You compete with the people for profit. Do you have anything to say?" Li Shimin asked.

"Cui Yushi, why are you impeaching me again? Why are you always staring at me?" Li Shen said to Cui Renzhi pretending to be pitiful like a child. Gain a lot of sympathy points

"His Royal Highness King Ji, as the official of the Yushi. Of course, he will report the news and supervise all officials." Cui Renzhi returned

"That's right, Cui Yushi, since you are so responsible. Let's talk about it. What is the crime this time?" Li Shen felt no pressure.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, are you purchasing grains on a large scale? As a result, grains in Chang'an and surrounding areas have increased by two levels. This has caused panic among the people." Cui Renzhi asked.

"Yes" Li Shen admitted.

Cui Renzhi didn't expect Li Shen to admit it. He thought Li Shen was looking for some excuse.

"His Majesty, King Ji, admitted that rare things can be lived in." Cui Renzhi said to Li Shimin

"Cui Yushi. When did I admit that I am a rare commodity?" Li Shen asked inexplicably.

"Didn't His Highness just admit to buying grain on a large scale?" Cui Renzhi returned.

"Purchasing grain means that rare goods can be used to live in. Then please explain to me what rare goods can be used to live in." Li Shen asked nonchalantly.

"You are hoarding food and waiting for the price to rise before selling it. Isn't this a rare commodity?" Cui Inzhi said.

"Who told you that I have to sell the grain I buy? Can't you eat it?" Li Shen joked

"Your Highness, don't make excuses. You have purchased [-] to [-] tons of grain, which is enough to feed ten thousand people for a year. Could it be that His Highness, Prince Ji, has raised ten thousand people?" Cui Renzhi retorted, and Li Shen gave you a crime by the way. Feed thousands of people. Do you, Prince Ji, want to rebel?

"Cui Yushi, you may not know. I have 2000 households with almost [-] people. I am the boss. I have to prepare food for them to prevent disasters. If the sowing is damaged, there will be no harvest in a year. I It's not like you who don't care about your tenants. I have to support them. I learned from my teachers to be benevolent and righteous. It's just that I have prepared three years of disaster food. Moreover, I plan to harvest more next year. My Majesty The villages near the village are not doing well. They barely have enough food and clothing in the years without disaster. If there is a disaster, they have to go to the streets to beg. The Imperial College taught us about benevolence and righteousness. I have to prepare something for them. I can't treat my own crops like you do. People from this land." Li Shen scolded and beat Cui Renzhi.

"Prince Ji, children can be taught. Apply what they have learned. King Ji is benevolent and righteous." Kong Yingda, the wine sacrificer of the Imperial Academy, stood up and praised Li Shen. He was the proud disciple of the Imperial Academy.

Li Shen bowed to Kong Yingda. Then he asked Cui Renzhi: "Cui Yushi, are you satisfied with my rhetoric?"

Cui Renzhi knew that Li Shen was talking nonsense. At least half of his grain is used to make wine. In the past few months, Boutique Pavilion's wine business has had a huge impact on the Cui family. But even Kong Yingda stood up and said Li Shenren was right. If you don't agree. Doesn't it mean that Li Shen's benevolent and righteous approach is wrong? Then I am not a person who is not benevolent and righteous. So it’s hard to answer.

Li Shimin on the stage nodded slightly. Although what Li Shen said was all made up, it was well-founded and had to be benevolent and righteous. It's impossible to refute. Isn't this a common method used by scholars? If you refute, you have no humanity.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up next to him. This tenth brother is so talented. You can still argue like this. Learned another trick.
