When Yan came to the building, everyone was a little embarrassed when they heard Luo Zhang's complaints. This was indeed done in a somewhat unethical manner, and they should have vented their anger with Luo Zhang in advance.
Cheng Yaojin touched his head and said, "I'll apologize to you for this. Well... what did the prince say? You must have been in contact with him, right?"
Everyone looked at Luo Zhang again, waiting for his answer.
"We have been in contact. No, we also talked about the meal here at noon. Generally speaking, the prince will be involved. If the prince is involved in this matter, he must be informed. Otherwise, such a huge benefit will not allow the royal family to participate. It’s not good. Just don’t know. If you know but don’t tell, His Majesty will be unhappy. Therefore, His Majesty also needs a share, and my previous share will be given to the Crown Prince and Your Majesty. As for everyone’s share The proportion depends on how you negotiate." Luo Zhang explained.
After hearing Luo Zhang's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. All they had to do was talk to the prince. According to what Luo Zhang said, the talk was not bad. Although His Majesty was added, it was not in their interests in general. How big the impact is, at best, each person has a smaller proportion and gives more to His Majesty.
Everyone looked at each other and saw each other's intentions. Then they looked at Luo Zhang again. Li Jing said: "Thank you very much for this matter. We will also give you a share. Although it is not much, it is ours." I feel like it!”
Hearing Li Jing say that he wanted to give him his share, Luo Zhang shook his head slightly and said: "Since I said I don't want my share, I won't want it. Just give it to His Majesty. As for why I don't want it, I can't tell you now. When the time comes, you will Just know it, just wait until you know it and don’t blame me!”
Everyone was stunned again, not understanding what Luo Zhang meant, but it seemed that there were better benefits waiting for him, so he didn't want it. Thinking that Luo Zhang always had the ability to surprise, everyone felt relieved. Yeah, maybe Luo Zhang doesn't like these things.
But even if Luo Zhang has better benefits, no one will be jealous. Even if Luo Zhang discovers the coal mine they occupy now, it is quite interesting that he can inform everyone and share it with everyone. They are not greedy. people.
"In this case, let's talk about this matter. It's almost time now. Why don't we go to the palace to discuss it with His Majesty?" Li Jing suggested.
"That's very good. If you decide one day earlier, I will make up my mind earlier!" Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
Others also meant the same thing, and Luo Zhang certainly had no objection. Although his purpose was different from others, he still wanted to discuss with His Majesty, and the choice of fiefdom could not be circumvented by Your Majesty.
When everyone rushed to the palace and the imperial study, Li Shimin had just rested and had some dessert. Now, under Sun Simiao's suggestion, the dessert Li Shimin ate was very light, and it was no longer as icing free as before. Put it in, and he enjoyed eating it.
Li Shimin's health has improved a lot since he has eaten less sugar. In addition, he takes the red wine given by Luo Zhang every day, and his energy is getting better day by day.
Seeing Li Jing, Luo Zhang and others coming together, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, looked at everyone with a smile and said: "What, have you decided where to choose the fiefdom? You have made great achievements this time, I will give you the fiefdom." Choose, this has never been a good thing before!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin knew that the northern Turkic territory had just been conquered, and there was already fierce fighting within the court. Everyone wanted to get a share of the pie there. Luo Zhang could imagine that it would be the future pasture of the Tang Dynasty, and those within the court would How could the big family not think that they also want to occupy some land to raise horses, cattle, and sheep? Who would think that there is too much land and too much money?
However, this matter has been suppressed by Li Shimin. Although the major families and civil servants have done their best in this war, it is normal to get a share of the pie now, but the biggest contributors have not been selected. What are you doing? urgent.
Li Shimin glanced at everyone and continued: "Why don't you say anything? If you don't say anything, I will choose for you!"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I have already chosen the boundary. I am here today to inform Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Li Jing could only bite the bullet and go out.
"Oh? I heard what you mean, you chose to be together? Tell me, which one did you choose!" Li Shimin asked curiously. It was normal to say that the fiefdoms were separated, but choosing to be together was a bit confusing to him. After all, good boundaries cannot be connected together. Most of them have only one good boundary.
"The one I have chosen is Dingxiang City, a place two hundred miles away. The specific location is here. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!" With that, Li Jing took out a map and handed it to Huang Eunuch.
This is a rough map, not very detailed, but it can tell where the place is. As for the real choice of fiefdom, you still have to take officials there to measure it!
Li Shimin was slightly startled when he heard Li Jing say that the fiefdom was two hundred miles away from Dingxiang City. According to what he understood, the only good place in this land was the land occupied by the Ni tribe, where there was a river that would never freeze. After that, there is a lush playground, which is the most suitable area for raising horses, cattle and sheep. Is this where Luo Zhang and the others want?
Many people are interested in that piece of land, but if Luo Zhang and the others really want it, it is not impossible to discuss it. No wonder these few people chose a land boundary, and that piece of land is enough for these people to share.
After finishing his brainstorming, Li Shimin spread out the map in front of him and looked at it. He couldn't help but get excited when he saw it.
After checking again to make sure that he had read it correctly, Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised: "You didn't choose the Nibu?"
Sanni tribe?
Everyone was slightly stunned, wondering why His Majesty said they chose the Shanni tribe. Although the Shanni tribe is good, can it be compared with the place they chose?
Of course, if there were no coal mine, the Shanni tribe would indeed be everyone's first choice, and I understand why His Majesty thinks so.
"Where is this place? There seems to be nothing around!" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed nothing here, no mountains, no water, only trees. In autumn and winter, there will be snow robes, and the temperature is also very low, but there is black gold here!" Li Jing said with eyes shining.
"Black gold? What is this?" Li Shimin asked with some confusion.
Li Jing didn't explain anything, but waved to the outside of the imperial study room, and saw two guards walking in carrying a basket.
At Li Jing's greeting, the guard placed the basket beside him and withdrew.
Li Shimin looked at the basket beside Li Jing curiously, wondering what Li Jing was going to do.
