Those with ulterior motives
After the Tang Dynasty official announced that the new King of Jiangxia's heir was Li Lingjun, the former King of Jiangxia, most people looked at him with disdain, while the rest were envious, and some ridiculed the descendants of the King of Jiangxia.
The East and West Markets of Chang'an City are bustling and bustling, where all kinds of materials that can be sold from the southeast, northwest, and west of the Tang Dynasty and the Western world are gathered here, especially spices and gems from the West. When the Tang Dynasty actively opened up Southeast Asia, those so-called spices Slowly began to depreciate, and the East China Sea Fleet brought ships to the mainland of Datang, and then the official controlled the price and slowly sold them.
Prices have been lowering, giving some merchants time to process the goods. Smart children all know that Southeast Asia is rich in spices, and Datang will not be short of them in the future. Datang officials did not directly sell them at low prices to give them a buffer. It’s better to sell as early as possible.
It is even said that some can be purchased from the East China Sea Fleet of the Tang Dynasty for sale, and the money will be reinvested in the technological research and development of the East China Sea Fleet and black technology factories.
In the Tang Dynasty, the city of Chang'an was now prosperous and stable. Under Li Mingda's various policies to benefit the people, the people's wallets were getting bigger and bigger, and their purchasing power was also getting bigger.
The economy is prosperous, and the corresponding taxes are also increasing. The people do not object to the increase in these taxes. The tax rate on food and cloth is very low. On the other hand, only those luxury goods and special consumption industries are heavily taxed. These heavy taxes cannot be extended. on their heads.
After dinner
A group of people sit together and talk about recent events
"Old Wei, do you remember that jurist from Shu?"
"Isn't it in the prison? The government has notified it."
"Aren't you curious?"
"What's there to be curious about? His Majesty ordered her to be imprisoned. There must be something wrong with her. After all, what does that sentence mean?"
"What's the difference?"
"That's it"
"Oh, what is that?"
"Yes, what about that"
The riddle-like conversation between the two made others around them a little unhappy, and they interjected: "You two, stop being so wretched. I heard that there is no replacement for King Jiang Xia."
"Didn't King Li Daozong of Jiangxia reflect in the prison? It's not normal to change people. Don't you know that the older generation has said that Li Daozong, the King of Jiangxia, might have sat in that position back then?"
"Lao Wei, that's the position you mentioned."
"That's it, I can still do that."
"Oh oh oh, I understand, I understand, who has replaced the King of Jiangxia?"
"Princess Li Lingjun, the daughter of King Jiangxia~!"
(⊙_⊙)?”
"Dude, are you fake?"
"Where is Li Daozong's son?"
"You don't know yet, a notice was posted at the entrance of the palace. The son of King Jiangxia and his heirs were reprimanded by His Majesty for their unqualified knowledge and style and were handed over to the princess."
"The princess seems to be the female martial arts champion a few years ago, right?"
"That's called Valkyrie"
"I'm a trainee. I heard that I need to practice a lot."
"Your Majesty is still strict in doing things."
"Actually, I think the imperial concubine is the most powerful, even the Valkyrie can't beat her."
"The topic has gone astray. I think from now on, the sons of royal princes and others will study hard. If they can't protect their titles by idleness every day, they will be gone~!"
"Well, it's possible for you to say that. If my little brat doesn't work hard later, I will give the family property to my daughter."
"Tch, the girls you brought are just two sons."
"One more~!"
"Old Wei, didn't you say you didn't want a daughter?"
Lao Wei raised his head and said, "That was because I had wrong thoughts before. Our church missionaries educated me and made me feel how stupid I was before~"
The conversation started off as a topic and gradually got sidetracked, and finally it turned into questions about how old is the son of a certain family, whether there was a matchmaker, marriage, and so on.
The change of King Jiangxia of Tang Dynasty is just news and topic to them.
People don't pay much attention to this kind of thing. Only the princes and nobles are the most nervous, especially those in the family who are direct heirs. In the past, they were uneducated or lazy. In an instant, they felt It was extremely stressful.
It turns out that my inheritance position is stable. As long as I don't break the law or discipline, it's okay if I don't have knowledge or skills. Now King Jiangxia's heir is exempted from inheritance due to lack of knowledge. So will it be my turn in the future?
_(:з ∠)_
Li Shao, the former unlearned and unskilled heir of the Li family's royal family, Prince Chen's Mansion, knelt in front of his father and began to beg for mercy.
"Father"
"what"
He still doted on his son, otherwise he would not have taught him anything even if he was uneducated and incompetent.
"Father, can you find me a teacher?"
"What?"
"Can you hire a teacher for me? My child wants to learn."
"Um, son, did you drink too much, or take the wrong medicine? In the past, I found a teacher for you and was annoyed by your various methods. Today, you actually want to find a teacher?"
"My son has realized his mistake. I hope my father will give me a chance to change my ways. I will definitely not disappoint my father's expectations. In the future, I will inherit the throne and continue our lineage... um... glory."
Listening to his son's words, a certain prince always felt that something was wrong. It was not like he didn't know what his son looked like. He looked down at his son who was lying on the ground waiting to speak, and stood up from his seat. He stood up, squatted down, reached out and pulled down his head and hands to confirm that it was his cub.
"Son, why are you so weird today? What happened?"
Under the questioning of his father, a certain ignorant child preached to tell the truth.
"Father, I heard that the throne of King Jiangxia was given to sister Ling Jun."
Everyone is from the Li royal family. Although he and his father are timid, they have always kept a low profile in the past, and they are also supporters of Li Shimin. Because of his timidity and caution, Li Mingda is cleaning up some of the food of those royal families. They survived when the human blood bun guy hit them.
For this reason, not only did it not decline, but he also took advantage of the opportunity to acquire some of the properties of the royal family that had been deprived of their titles and family properties. The family's properties were increasing, and he was becoming busier and busier. He also knew that his son was ignorant and incompetent. , but he just didn't study and didn't go out to cause trouble, so I didn't care about him.
Now that the matter of King Jiangxia's cousin was mentioned, someone couldn't help but feel his heart tightening. His Majesty the Holy Emperor Ming Zun was the most powerful emperor in the land of China for thousands of years. There is no one like Qin Tongtong. The six kingdoms forged a unified country, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun expanded the territory several times and defeated the tribes and vassals that had been harassing the land of China for thousands of years.
Now that the hereditary status of titles has changed, it is bound to have a great impact on the inheritance rights of their royal family and nobles.
