"There are Persia, Dashi, and Tianzhu to the west of Tubo. The existence of Tubo determines the Silk Road."

"The Silk Road?" Li Shimin asked in confusion.

"What I am talking about is the business road that has led to the West since the Han Dynasty. Don't Your Majesty want to restore that business road?"

It is false to say that you don’t want to restore this business road in your heart. This business road has almost been cut off since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

It was restored during the pre-Sui Dynasty, but it was broken in the middle.

So much so that the trade route has been cut off since the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Restoring this trade route was a symbol of the strength of the dynasty and the national status of the country. Of course, Li Shimin wanted to follow the strong Han.

Li Shimin asked in a low voice: "What do you mean is to restore business and take down the entire Tubo?"

Li Zheng nodded, "That's natural, don't your Majesty want to?"

"Of course I want to." Li Shimin didn't think about it. He said it straightforwardly, and felt something was wrong when he said it. He always felt that Li was just typing my words.

"What we want is the entire Tubo, not just some places in Tubo, making it a Tubo county of the Tang Dynasty! To pacify Tubo for Songtsen Gampo? It is better to let Songtsen Gampo take the initiative to show what we want. Isn't this better? Your Majesty, why bother?"

Li Shimin felt his face burning, and he thought about it and said repeatedly: "If I don't send troops to Tubo, can you do this?"

Li Zheng asked back, "If I do this, can Your Majesty give me anything?"

Looking at the boy's expression, Li Shimin said with a stern face: "Are you bargaining with me? How many qualifications do you think you have to bargaining with me?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Where am I qualified to bargain with Your Majesty? Did Your Majesty eat it? Do you want to stay for lunch?"

Li Shimin had a dark face, and this kid really wanted to cut his head.

Think about it again and there is no way to deal with Li Zheng.

If you leave Li Zheng, many things will not be done.

Just like the weapons business, Li Shimin doesn't want to kill Li Zheng yet, even though he has thought about what kind of way to die for Li Zheng countless times every night.

Looking at Li Shimin's stinky face, Li Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty stayed for a meal."

Li Shimin nodded, "Okay!"

After saying that, Li Shimin was surprised again, and I actually agreed.

I promised so quickly.

It should be a bit concise.

Li Shimin followed Li Zheng back home.

When he came to Li Zheng's home, Li Shimin looked at the environment here.

I don’t know if it’s because of the decorations of Li Zheng’s yard, but I feel much more at ease when I come here.

Li Shimin asked the maid beside him, "Where is Lizhi?"

The maid bowed and replied, "Your Highness the Princess has gone to check the accounts and should be back at noon."

Li Shimin nodded and looked at Xiao Yizi and Li Zhi next to him.

When he walked forward, he saw that Little Shizi actually drew a pig, and Li Zhi was still guiding the painting method.

When Xiao Yizi saw Li Shimin, she picked up the paper and said, "Father, look, are the pigs painted by Mingda good?"

Li Shimin looked at the pig painted on the paper and said, "Mingda, tell my father, why do you want to draw a pig?"

Little Shizi laughed and called Li Zhi, "I am the emperor's brother who has been in the pig farm these days. I can see pigs every day. Mingda wants to draw them and see them."

Li Zhi saluted Li Shimin, "Father."

Li Shimin returned the painting in his hand to Xiao Yizi and looked at Li Zhi, "I asked you to be Li Zheng as your teacher, are you just learning to raise pigs?"

Li Zhi bowed and said, "Father, I misunderstood. My son is not raising pigs, but learning to expand and dispatch."

“Expand dispatch?”

Li Zhi took out his notes and said, "For example, the average pig farm in Jingyang produces 300 piglets every month, and 20 or 30 new sows. The pigs grow in one year, and there are so many more sows in one year. After this, the current pig farm in Jingyang cannot accommodate so many pigs."

Li Shimin looked through Li Zhi's booklet.

There is no pig drawn on it, but there are many formulas and calculations written on it.

Some formulas are not understood at all, but it seems that this is the case again.

Let’s look at Li Zhi again. Li Zhi is only ten years old now.

Now I can't understand what he has learned.

Li Shimin turned a few pages back and found that the records on it were somewhat similar to the population, food and land of the Tang Dynasty today?

Scheduling expansion? See the big from the small? How can Jingyang be like the prefectures of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Shimin solemnly returned Li Zhi's booklet to him because he couldn't understand much and could not understand the formulas at all.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Father, aren't your son very powerful?"

Li Shimin said with a stern face: "Wait until you don't have to worry about pigs anymore. Let's talk about your awesomeness. Now let me learn from Li Zheng!"

Li Zhi nodded vigorously, "My son understands."

After a while, Li Lizhi also came back.

When he saw his father, Li Li came forward to salute, "Father."

When Li Shimin saw Li Lizhi's face, he finally smiled, "You seem to be a little fat lately."

Li Lizhi looked at herself and said, "Is there any?"

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, "It's so good, it's much better. I used to see you getting thinner and couldn't eat much food in the palace, but now it's great."

Little Shizi also ran over and threw herself into Li Lizhi's arms, "Sister, look! Mingda's pig."

Li Lizhi hugged Xiao Yizi and said, "Emperor Sister can't hold you anymore."

Little Shizi was laughing in Li Lizhi's arms.

Looking at this warm scene is much better than the cold palace.

Li Shimin thought to himself that if one day he wanted to stop dealing with the government affairs, it would be a good life to live like this every day.

I also couldn't understand why I was fighting with Li Jiancheng at the beginning.

Li was busy in the kitchen.

Xu Hui walked over and said, "Mr. Concubine, do you need me to help?"

"No need." Li Zheng said while fiddling with the chicken feet.

Xu Hui nodded and walked out of the kitchen again. At first, she felt that Li Zheng might have despised others for not cooking well.

Xu Hui also blamed herself for not cooking well.

Xu Hui has also become accustomed to it in the past two years. Sometimes it is not that Li Zheng cooks for a bite.

But Li Zheng prefers cooking and likes to cook all kinds of food, and the taste is pretty good.

Men all over the world will regard cooking as a hobby, and maybe only Li Zheng is the only one.

Xu Hui thought so in her heart.

The meal was served and the family sat down at the dining table.

Just as Li Shimin was about to sit down, Li Yuan came to dinner.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Yuan picked up the little whisper with a smile and sat down naturally.

Li Shimin sat aside with a stern face.

The maids kept bringing the prepared meals to the table.

If Li Shimin is the emperor, the first table should be Li Shimin.

But Li Yuan is the Supreme Emperor and Li Shimin's biological father. According to the elders, Li Yuan is naturally sitting on the top.
