Chapter 920 Gao Yang and Li Shimin Negotiate Conditions
If Su Woli became a fool, it would naturally not be a threat, nor would it make people feel that it was necessary to stare at him.
Li Xiaogong thought to himself that if he really had this kind of mind, this Su Woli would be really too dangerous.
What should be prevented should be prevented.
Seeing that the time was almost over, Li Xiaogong hurried to Tai Chi Hall to court.
The morning court still had the same process as before, and people impeached Li Zheng from time to time.
Li Xiaogong has become numb when impeaching Li Zheng.
I guess Your Majesty is already annoyed.
Li Shimin looked at the ministers in the hall with a blank expression, and just gave it to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation of the impeachment of Li Zheng.
Li Xiaogong knew in his heart that His Majesty would not touch Li Zheng now.
If you say that Li Zheng is not so unforgivable, he has never done anything that violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the bottom line is not touched, Your Majesty will punish Li Zheng for a few years at most.
As for Li Zheng's salary, he has not been given for several years.
Besides, with Li Zheng's financial resources, he doesn't like this salary.
The troops who fought against Liaodong have also begun.
There is nothing else to do in the morning court, so I go to the morning court early.
Li Xiaogong followed a group of ministers out of the Tai Chi Hall and quickly walked towards Chengtian Gate.
Walk out of the palace gate and come to the lively Suzaku Street.
Walk along Zhuque Street to the city gate, where there is a wine shop.
Xu Jingzong sat here and drank.
Li Xiaogong sat in front of Xu Jingzong naturally and asked the guy to order a plate of mutton and a bowl of wine.
Xu Jingzong was still eating soup cakes voraciously.
Li Xiaogong picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, but put it down again.
Pick up a piece of mutton and eat it.
The two sat opposite each other and didn't speak for a while.
Until Xu Jingzong finished eating the soup cake, he breathed comfortably and said, "The soup cakes here are very good, so the prince of Hejian can try them."
Li Xiaogong ate the mutton and said, "It's just that the mutton here is not salty enough."
Xu Jingzong also picked up a piece of mutton and took a bite and said, "It's not bad. The salt has been much cheaper recently, so the store will not put it less."
Li Xiaogong loosened the collar of Song's official uniform and said, "Maybe a certain family has been angry recently and their mouths are dull."
Xu Jingzong paid the money to his friend and said, "The people from the Ministry of Rites are busy these days."
Li Xiaogong said: "You are very clear about Su Ili's itinerary these days. I heard that you paid for the wine and drinks in Pingkangfang last night."
Xu Jingzong grinned and said, "A little money for alcohol is not worth mentioning."
Li Xiaogong said again: "He is a foreigner, and he doesn't understand the rules of Pingkangfang, so he won't cause trouble."
"Pingkangfang is all acquaintances, and even if you get into trouble, you can settle it."
Xu Jingzong spoke calmly.
Li Xiaogong glanced at his face, and sometimes he didn't like Xu Jingzong's expression.
After taking a sip of wine, Li Xiaogong said, "The people of the Ministry of Rites are worried that Su Wo Li will become a useless person all day long."
Xu Jingzong said, "The Ministry of Rites still cares about this?"
Li Xiaogong glanced at him, "Su Woli is now in Chang'an, and he promised the monarch there to send it back intact. He came well. If he became a useless person in a few years, he would not be very good for us."
Xu Jingzong nodded slightly, "I will look at him."
Li Xiaogong finished drinking the wine in the bowl, "I will tell you the first thing I have if there is anything."
Xu Jingzong raised the wine bowl to show his respect.
Li Xiaogong left the restaurant and walked into the crowd.
Xu Jingzong sat here for a while and left half an hour later.
Gao Yang returned to the palace.
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin listened to Gao Yang's story and had a headache for a moment.
Li Shimin held his forehead and said, "What are you doing with the Ministry of Revenue, a princess?"
Gao Yang raised his chin and said proudly: "Daughter wants to share the worries of his father."
"Share the worries?" Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "If you can be in the palace obediently, you will be sharing worries when you are waiting to get married."
Gao Yang seemed to know that Li Shimin would say this, and said confidently: "Now Jingyang has become the richest village in Guanzhong. The money earned by Jingyang residents is several times higher than that of several counties around him. If it is peak season, it is even higher than that of Chang'an."
After hearing what his daughter said, Gao Yang said it well, Jingyang’s taxes are indeed very high.
Even more than the taxes in Chang'an City are higher in one year.
Gao Yang said again: "Does the father want to keep going like this all the time? Stay here and enjoy the success? If there is a second village like Jingyang, it will only be beneficial to the court."
Li Shimin sneered: "Do you have such skills? Do you think the Tang Dynasty can have another Li Zheng?"
Gao Yang said again: "I don't know if my daughter has this ability, but she will definitely do her best."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and laughed instead of anger, "Are you negotiating conditions with me?"
Gao Yang said: "If the daughter cannot do it, the daughter must marry according to the arrangements of her father."
Li Shimin whispered: "Besides you, I can also let others do this."
Gao Yang was more and more confident, "My daughter's emperor's sister holds the financial power of the entire Jingyang. Can you ask who is richer than the emperor?"
Li Shimin looked at his daughter for a long time and didn't speak.
Is this a conspiracy?
Gao Yang joined forces with Li Lizhi to fight?
Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "No of my children is worry-free."
Gao Yang still had a smile on his face.
Faced with higher taxes, creating a second Jingyang really made Li Shimin a little moved.
Who doesn’t want the Tang Dynasty to be prosperous?
Gao Yang almost said that this was Li Zheng's idea and Li Lizhi's arrangement.
Li Shimin knew very well, but he didn't have to say much.
Gao Yang was fearless.
Li Shimin whispered: "I can let you try."
Gao Yang immediately said, "Thank you, Father."
"But!" Li Shimin paused heavily, "The position of the Ministry of Revenue is very important in the court. I will not give you any position in the Ministry of Revenue, but I will arrange a few people to help you."
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "The father does not need to give his daughter any manpower. If the daughter needs it, just give her the right to dispatch her daughter."
Li Shimin looked at Gao Yang's attitude and said, "That's just such a request?"
Gao Yang said: "That's just one request."
The tone is very affirmative.
Li Shimin looked at Gao Yang with great interest, "I can tell you that you will get married one day, and the success or failure of your business has nothing to do with your marriage."
Gao Yang smiled again, "I guess the father will not let his daughter get married easily in the future."
Having said that, Li Shimin was quiet for a while.
Seeing that his father stopped saying anything, Gao Yang bowed and said, "Daughter will make arrangements first, and my daughter will leave."
After saying that, Gao Yang left Ganlu Palace.
