Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 159 Li Shimin is not happy, national policy loopholes
Since its appearance, Xuan paper has been destined to be a luxury among papers and the best carrier for calligraphy and painting.

Powerful and influential people flock to it, while people without money and power just gain some knowledge.

It will not sink and will be sold as a valuable item.

What is the expensive paper in Luoyang?
Xuan paper is expensive in Chang'an now.

It is difficult to estimate how big the benefits are.

But in Li Chengqian's view, this is one of the means to stimulate consumption among wealthy families.

Although they cannot take out the money buried in other people's cellars, the emergence of one consumption point after another will always allow them to use their family assets.

Rice paper is one.

There will be other new things in the future.

As long as you like to compare with others and like to be decent, and you don’t have what others have, how can you be considered a noble family?

If you don't pay this money, you will lose face.

You adults use rice paper, but your son doesn’t?
Other people's sons have rice paper. When compared with him, your son will feel embarrassed and lose face.

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle."

Changle said happily: "How about giving the sales rights of Hebei Road to my niece?"

"Hebei Road?"

Li Yuanchang smiled and said, “The prices in that place are quite high.”

Hebei Province has the largest number of aristocratic families, so the demand for Xuan paper must be considerable.

"Besides, can you eat it all by yourself?"

Li Yuanchang reminded that it is almost impossible to eat alone in Hebei Province.

Changle smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I can build a tea business over there. I'm not someone who can be easily bullied."

Li Chengqian ignored the two of them and left it to Li Yuanchang to handle.

It would be good for Changle to participate as well.

After all, most of the Five Surnames and Seven Families are in Hebei Province.

She runs a tea business in Hebei Road. How could she have no contact with these people?

"But let me tell you first, you can't move at all near Chang'an."

Li Yuanchang said: "Moreover, Daos cannot cross regions."

Changle blinked and said, "Of course not. I have already thought of a solution."

"any solution?"

"Just copy what you have learned."

Changle said as a matter of course: "Since the sales rights can be divided between Dao and Dao."

"Of course, the sales rights can be divided between states."

"I am the general salesperson of Hebei Road anyway, so I can just redistribute it."

Li Yuanchang was surprised, "Changle, your brain works really fast."

"That's right." Changle said proudly, "I learned a lot from watching and hearing the Crown Prince. I didn't learn anything else, but I learned to use my brain."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian burst into laughter.

Changle is much smarter, more flexible-minded, sensible and more importantly, has a strong political sense.

"Brother Crown Prince, I was not wrong. That is how it is."

"You are not allowed to laugh."

Changle said coquettishly.

"I don't laugh, I don't laugh."

Li Chengqian nodded at her and said, "I just like your cleverness."

"Gao Yang, Baling, you should learn well from Chang Le."

"Don't just bully your man all day long."

Gao Yang said: "That depends on his own efforts."

"Yes, if he doesn't work hard himself, how can he improve himself if we don't teach him a lesson?" Baling also echoed.

Li Chengqian was helpless.

Those imperial concubines and captains were powerless and could only be bullied by their own women.

"Uncle, come here!"

"Don't carry the little Sizi around with you."

"It's time to eat."

Li Yuanying had a lot of fun playing with little Sizi, who giggled non-stop.

Li Xiang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Li Yuanying.

"Uncle, please keep an eye on Dalang in school. If he doesn't study hard, you will have to punish him."

"Da Lang, if your uncle doesn't learn well in school and brings his fiefdom's tricks to school, you don't need to tell me, just tell the King of Han."

Li Yuanchang chuckled and said, "Da Lang, I'm itching to do something. If this kid does anything unruly, just come and tell me."

Li Yuanying rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

……

Li Shimin was looking at the memorial. Wu Cairen was beside him, feeding him porridge in small sips and wiping his mouth with a handkerchief from time to time.

"His Majesty."

"The Crown Prince has invited the King of Han, the King of Teng, Princess Changle and others to the East Palace."

Zhang Ananda came back to report.

It's hard not to know about the hustle and bustle in the East Palace.

Sudden.

Li Shimin had no interest in reading the memorial, nor did he have an appetite for the porridge. When Concubine Wu handed it to him, he pushed it away.

"Zhi Nu is there too?"

"Prince Jin has not returned to the palace. He has been following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince closely recently."

Zhang Ananda hesitated to speak. Li Shimin frowned and asked, "What else?"

"It seems that the King of Wei is also preparing to go to the Eastern Palace."

"What is Qingque doing in the East Palace?"

"This slave doesn't know."

Li Shimin was even more unhappy.

Okay.

You guys from the East Palace are having dinner together.

Sons, daughters and brothers are all here.

I was the only one in the deep palace, and I realized it late. I had to listen to others’ words before I knew it.

Prince, our Taiji Palace is only separated from your East Palace by a wall. How difficult would it be for you to send someone to deliver a message?

"Where's Xiao Sizi?"

"The little prince is here too."

Li Shimin clenched his fists and sent people from Taiji Palace to take Xiao Sizi away, but he didn't even think of saying hello.

He felt very uncomfortable and paced back and forth, feeling suffocated.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the East Palace?" Wu Cairen asked in a low voice.

"Going to what?"

Li Shimin cursed: "What's so good about going to the Eastern Palace?"

"I need you to talk?"

"Long-haired, short-sighted bitch!"

Go to the East Palace?
I have no shame. It's so embarrassing to go there with a licking face.

Wu Cairen suffered an unexpected disaster. She thought she had guessed the emperor's thoughts, but she did not expect to be hit hard.

The word "bitch" almost tore her dignity apart.

Her pretty face was pale.

She didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction and could only accept the scolding respectfully.

Li Shimin turned a blind eye to this. He thought she was just a talented person and didn't take it seriously at all.

……

"Ok?"

"The bluebird is here."

"Please come in soon."

No one expected that Fatty Li would come.

I saw Li Pangpang, and there was a little Pangpang following him.

Li Yuanying secretly cried out in his heart, "Not good."

I just slapped Fatty Li in the face. Could it be that the King of Wei is here to show up?

"Qingque, it's not that brother didn't call you."

"Brother knows that you have been busy with the Zhenguan Ceremony, so I didn't dare to disturb you easily, for fear that you would be distracted."

"I feel bad for delaying your important matter."

Li Chengqian held Li Pangpang's hand and explained sincerely.

Li Pangpang is in good spirits. Although he is still fat, his literary temperament is stronger and he looks more bookish.

It seems that compiling a great code can really influence people.

"Brother, I am not happy."

"You didn't even call me."

"Am I not the eldest brother's younger brother?"

Fatty Li said pitifully.

This made Li Chengqian a little confused.

"I would be happy if you could give me some rice paper."

have to.

After all this time, I'm still thinking about rice paper.

Indeed, Xuan paper is too attractive to Li Pangpang.

"Yes, there are more."

He pushed the fat boy out and said, "Look at Dalang's face. My uncle hit him before and there are still marks on it."

"Big brother, you have to make the decision for Dalang."

Li Chengqian asked tentatively: "Uncle Han has already taught my uncle a lesson."

"Shall I give you some more rice paper?"

Fatty Li smiled happily and said, "Okay, big brother."

"Okay, come sit down and eat together."

"It's been a while since we've gotten together."

Everyone is still a little uncomfortable with Li Pangpang's arrival.

After all, we are not all the same kind of people, but for the sake of face, we have to get along.

This is the East Palace.

The Crown Prince is so enthusiastic towards King Wei, who among them dares to keep a straight face?

Nothing else was discussed during the meal, only reminiscing about the past. Li Chengqian also asked about the progress of the "Zhenguan Ceremony".

After the banquet, Li Pangpang left happily with the rice paper.

"Fourth brother seems to have changed a lot."

Changle said.

"Yes, Fourth Brother used to be very aloof and arrogant."

Li Chengqian didn't respond.

Can it remain unchanged?

Almost all of his cronies were exiled by Li Shimin.

With no one around to make noise or talk too much, how could Li Pangpang have any other thoughts?

"That's better."

Li Yuanchang said something.

Yes.

This kind of King Wei is a good King Wei.

Focus on literature, do your duty and stay within the law.

Good for everyone.

……

Li Chengqian did not ask how Li Yuanchang dealt with the Xuan paper.

He was still busy with his own things.

Just at this time, something suddenly happened.

The two couples went to Chang'an City to file a complaint against the unfair national birth policy.

This caused quite a stir.

"These two couples are from the Hedong Province. They traveled across mountains and rivers to Chang'an because the local government did not register their marriage and give them a reward."

"I complained all the way and finally arrived in Chang'an."

Imperial Censor Ma Zhou said.

"Why hasn't it been processed?" Li Chengqian asked.

"After questioning, we learned that they were remarried."

Ma Zhou said: "One is a widower and the other is a widow."

"They knew about the imperial court's policy that there would be a reward for marriage for those over the age of sixteen, so they got together and got married."

"The man is 35 years old and has a daughter. The woman is 32 years old and has a son."

"The local government refused to register it because they were married."

The matter was clear and straightforward. The two men remarried with their children, but the government refused on the grounds that it was not their first marriage.

"Your Highness, I think they are trying to scam us out of money," said Changsun Wuji.

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly and said, "You don't have to go through so much trouble to defraud money."

The story behind it won’t be that simple.

It was very strange that the couple could travel all the way from Hedong Road to Chang'an without any obstruction.

Who will take care of the children?

There must be someone behind this who wants to see the national policy come to shame.

Fang Xuanling said: "It seems that we have omissions in our national policy and have not formulated it well."

"So that they can catch the loophole."

Li Chengqian said: "No one is perfect, and no national policy can be said to be completely correct. If we find loopholes, we will fill them up."

"Your Highness is right, but this matter is a bit tricky." Ma Zhou said: "If we don't agree to give them incentives, then getting married after the age of sixteen will be questioned."

"If we give them money as an incentive, and if everyone follows suit, for example, if they were originally harmonious but wanted to be rewarded with money as an incentive, they would divorce and remarry, wouldn't that be cheating the country of its wealth?"
