Suddenly, Tang Sufan crossed his chest with his hands, looked at Li Shimin's figure which was still quite majestic, but had gained some weight, and said with a playful look in his eyes.
"Hey, Lao Li, I want to know how my sister, a beautiful woman with a beautiful country, got married to you, a landowner, in the first place?"
The beauty and fragrance of the country~
No matter what others thought, Changsun Wugu covered his mouth and smiled.
Which woman doesn't like others to praise her beauty, even if she is the mother of the country.
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyebrows suddenly stood up.
Looking at the eyes cast by this boy, I felt the great teasing and ridicule contained in them.
He retorted: "What are you talking about, kid? Of course I and my wife are a good match!"
Tang Sufan had a strange look in his eyes: "A good match?"
Li Shimin, who was the King of Qin back then, was naturally not bad in appearance. He was also an elegant and handsome young man in his prime.
But as he grows older, he has worked hard day and night since he ascended the throne, and has not practiced martial arts for several years.
It is said that being fat will ruin everything, and coupled with Li Shimin's Hu ancestry, he has already begun to prepare to grow a beard.
So in his current image, although he has an extraordinary bearing, in Tang Sufan's eyes, this old boy doesn't look handsome at all -
Listening to Tang Sufan's disbelieving questions, Li Shimin straightened his back and patted his chest.
Then he said: "Back then, our old Li was also a handsome young man from all over the country! Back then, everyone who came to propose marriage almost destroyed a certain family's house!"
Tang Sufan's mouth twitched, why did these words sound so familiar?
Seeing the boy's somewhat trusting expression, Li Shimin couldn't help but put his arm around Empress Changsun's shoulders.
"Hmph, when I was your age, he was a handsome young man who many girls dreamed of!"
If you really say that, it is true. Li Shimin, the King of Qin at that time, was obsessed with many young ladies.
Looking at Li Shimin's proud little appearance, the aura of the young man from all over the world was completely controlled.
Tang Sufan waved his hand speechlessly and said nothing more——
This old boy is still in high spirits.
The eldest grandson Wugou broke away from Li Shimin's big hand in an angry manner, and said to Tang Sufan with a smile: "Su Fan, Erlang was still very handsome back then, but now he is just a little fatter -"
Li Shimin's face suddenly stiffened. His wife seemed to be explaining, but somehow she felt like she was being undermined.
"Okay, okay, I'll just take care of her~"
Suddenly, Tang Sufan realized what Changsun Wugou had just said and said.
"Erlang? Lao Li, are you the second son at home? How many brothers--"
Suddenly, Li Shimin's eldest son, Sun Wuji, and others' expressions froze.
Li Shimin hurriedly hid his unnatural look and said with a guilty conscience: "It's the second line, just four brothers -"
Anyway, no one has arrived yet, so Tang Sufan just treats it as casual chat: "Hey, since you are not the boss, why are you worrying about your family's business?"
Li Shimin turned slightly away: "Ahem, my eldest brother passed away a few years ago, so it's not like I'm the one who calls the shots -"
Li Shimin thought of an explanation casually, and the three old men, Changsun Wuji, did not dare to speak and just played with him quietly.
Who dares to talk to you here——
It can't be said that he has killed his eldest brother, not only his eldest brother, but also his younger brother——
Then Li Shimin quickly found a topic to change his conversation.
"Hey, isn't that the little lady of the Kong family?"
Li Shimin saw a beautiful figure emerging from the square gate, and quickly pointed to Kong Lingyue with a maid over there.
Kong Lingyue appeared in front of Tang Sufan and his party soon.
Kong Lingyue stepped forward to offer a ceremony, which Li Shimin and the Sun family had all seen before.
But why do the three old men behind him look so familiar?
However, Changsun Wuji and the others were still members of the imperial court. Although the civil servants usually worked together, they each had their own circles, and Kong Lingyue did not recognize them.
But why did Sister Sun get together with Li Dong’s family?
Although she still had doubts in her heart, Kong Lingyue was too embarrassed to ask.
"Lingyue, Lao Li and I came here specifically to see this workshop today. Thank you for your hard work these days!"
Tang Sufan said slightly embarrassed.
Although he is the major shareholder, he has never been here to take a look and leave a girl busy -
This is indeed a bit embarrassing.
"Where, Mr. Tang, this charcoal is a treasure for detoxification and allows the people to stay warm during the winter. It is naturally an honor for the Kong family to be able to take on this matter, and it does not live up to the reputation of a saint in the family!"
After hearing this, Tang Sufan gave Kong Lingyue a thumbs up in his heart.
Look -
People’s awareness——
This kind of thinking——
Tang Sufan also felt embarrassed that he was always a hands-off shopkeeper and had to pay for it.
Then he said: "Lingyue, why don't you take us in and take a look?"
Kong Lingyue agreed with a smile and took Tang Sufan, Li Shimin and his party into the charcoal workshop.
Ever since the land over there was awarded to Tang Sufan by Li Shimin, everything started to be prepared here.
Tang Sufan gave a rough plan and set wages and benefits.
And handed over everything including the accounts to Kong Lingyue.
Ever since Kong Lingyue took charge of this workshop, she always felt that her daughter could do something for the people, so she always kept this matter in her heart.
I don’t know how much better this idea is than someone else’s—
The two pieces of land granted to Tang Sufan were divided into two, one in Huangtu Ridge and the other in what is now Sijiao Mountain.
That side was nominally handed over to "Old Li", and Li Shimin naturally sent people to manage it in an orderly manner.
It also implements a work-for-relief policy.
But the Kong family is naturally in charge here, and Tang Sufan, as the big boss behind the scenes, spends his days leisurely.
No matter where it is, I haven't been there before.
Thinking about it now, Tang Sufan is really a little ashamed.
But Tang Sufan's reputation as a boss in Sijiao Mountain was partly due to the Kong family.
Therefore, the reputation of this big boss naturally goes to Tang Sufan.
After this back and forth, Tang Sufan's good reputation as a boss has spread like wildfire.
All the refugees who came back were grateful to the master they had never met.
But I have never seen the owner who built a workshop and took in the refugees.
In these days, the psychology of the people is also very simple and simple.
The person who can allow them to survive in this turbulent year is their great benefactor.
Not to mention that there is still enough to eat and wages to earn——
Therefore, Tang Sufan, the name of the boss, has naturally been worshiped as a god by everyone here.
The scene just now happened...
Several people entered the workshop.
Along the way, Tang Sufan and Li Shimin listened to Kong Lingyue talking about the workshop.
Along the way, there were many faces with simple clothes and thin bodies, but their eyes were full of hope and motivation.
As a modern person from the 21st century who traveled through time, Tang Sufan couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
Is that all?
Can this group of people be so satisfied and grateful?
The workshop is huge, with earthen houses and stone walls. Although it is really simple, the people who live there obviously don't dislike it.
Not only Tang Sufan, but also Li Shimin and others also looked at these scenes thoughtfully.
Face-to-face experience of the suffering of the people is often more practical than talking about it on paper with a square table against a red wall.
It was the first time that Li Lirou, who was well-dressed and well-fed within the palace walls, experienced a different meaning in her heart.
For a moment, everyone's voices became somewhat silent...
