At this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but thank God again for giving him such a virtuous and virtuous wife.

Not only does he manage the harem in harmony, but he can also share his worries and solve problems in major court affairs.

He looked at his eldest grandson with a smile and said:

"Guanyin Maid, you are truly my virtuous wife! Marrying you is the best thing I have ever done in my life."

After saying that, he stood up, hugged his eldest grandson, and headed to the back hall.

When the eldest grandson saw this, his face turned red and he said:

"Erlang, it's still early, I have something else I want to discuss with you."

When Li Shimin heard this, he let go of Changsun and said:

"Anything else?"

Queen Changsun said:

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that a few days ago, I said that I wanted to partner with Qinjiazhuang to start a new tea business?"

"There isn't much tea left from the tea you left me last time."

"Erlang, when you have time, let's go to Qinjiazhuang together."

Li Shimin thought for a moment after hearing this and said:

"So that's what happened. In two days there will be a holiday. Then I will take Guanyin Maid to Qinjiazhuang to have a look."

"But I remember that the tea I left for you last time was enough for two months. How come you finished it so quickly?"

Queen Changsun heard this and said:

"My brother came to Lizheng Palace a few days ago. I saw that he liked drinking this kind of tea, so I gave him some. Today he came and asked me for some more."

"Also, other sisters in the palace also like it very much, so they drink it quickly. This also shows that once this kind of tea is sold in Chang'an, there will definitely be a market."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Well, I see. Now that we have agreed, we will go to Qinjiazhuang the day after tomorrow. Can Guanyin Maid sleep with me now?"

Empress Changsun smiled and patted Li Shimin's chest, then followed him to the back hall.

The next day, Chang'an City, Tai Chi Hall.

Soon after the morning court began, Changsun Wuji noticed that ministers were looking at him from time to time.

Then he realized that the incident at the Manna Hall yesterday must have been spread.

Last night he went back and sorted things out1

Since we can't avoid taking the blame for His Majesty, it's better to cooperate with His Majesty, so that His Majesty owes him a favor.

You can use this favor in the future to exchange some benefits for the eldest grandson's family.

He planned to wait until after the New Year when Chong'er would be sixteen, and then he could propose to His Majesty, the eldest princess Li Lizhi.

If you can marry the eldest princess, the eldest grandson's family will be able to maintain prosperity and wealth for decades.

Thinking of this, he stood up, saluted Li Shimin and said:

"Your Majesty, I received news yesterday that there are now about 100,000 refugees from Hedong Road, who are gathering in the direction of Chang'an."

“I can’t sleep at night thinking that so many hungry and cold refugees may die of hunger and cold during this long-distance migration.”

"As a member of the court, I enjoy the support of the people, but now the people are suffering outside."

"It is inappropriate for me to not personally go to the scene to help the victims because state affairs are so important. If I stand idly by and watch, I am in vain as a minister."

"I have been counting my family property overnight and would like to take out two thousand guan from my house and donate it to the court for disaster relief. I hope your majesty will grant me your permission."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall immediately erupted in discussion. Wei Zheng muttered something in his mind:

"Old fox, you can say such shameless words."

Li Shimin sat on the high dragon chair and looked at the people talking in the hall.

Jianchaotang is already developing towards the vegetable market.

He quickly coughed dryly and said:

"Well, the auxiliary machine is worthy of being my loyal minister. Since all the ministers are willing to provide disaster relief, then as the emperor, I should set an example. I have decided to take out 10,000 guan from the inner treasury for disaster relief."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the important officials in the DPRK also understood the whole story.

Okay,

Your Majesty is teaming up with the old thief Changsun to set a trap for us.

If you donate money, you are a traitorous minister. If you don't donate money, wouldn't you be a traitor?

At this moment, countless ministers hated Changsun Wuji to the point of itch.

At this time, most of the courtiers were still digesting this bolt from the blue and thinking of countermeasures.

The more astute ministers in the court have already reacted.

Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin is one of them.

After His Majesty finished speaking, Lu Guogong left the class and saluted:

"Your Majesty, although my family does not run an ironware business like Zhao Guogong's family, I still have some wealth. After going to court, I will go home and sell off my property. Even if I sell all my wife's jewelry, I will still be able to collect a thousand guan. Donate to the imperial court for disaster relief.”

After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Changsun Wuji.

The rest of the people couldn't help but shine. Lu Guogong's skill was really brilliant.

Not only did he express his loyalty to His Majesty, but he also pointed out that Zhao Guogong's family was engaged in the ironware business and the family was not short of money.

After Lu Guogong finished his speech, the ministers of the DPRK and China began to come forward one by one to donate money and materials.

Wu Shi started recording with Dai Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Soon the court meeting ended. After the unification, the court meeting raised a total of 35,000 yuan for disaster relief.

Although it is not much for the huge number of refugees.

But it can also play a easing role when the refugees first arrive.

Early morning, Qin Mansion, Qingxinyuan

After this period of recuperation, Yang Zijun felt that his body had improved significantly.

These days, she basically spends her time recuperating in the yard and rarely goes out.

Qingwan would come over and chat with her whenever she had time.

After breakfast, she told Xiao Changxi that she wanted to go out for a walk today.

Xiao Changxi saw that she looked much better than before. And yesterday Qin Ming also went to the doctor in the village to check on her and said that she was recovering well.

When she has time, let her go out for a walk and exercise.

So he simply explained that it was okay to go out, but he must be with his cousin Wan'er.

Xiao Changxi went to the backyard and organized people to make down jackets.

Yang Zijun looked at the time. At this time, Qingwan was usually in Qin Ming's study, waiting on Qin Ming's writing.

So she walked out of the courtyard, asked the servants on the road about the location of the study, and walked towards the study in Qin Ming's courtyard.

The servant who met her on the road saw that she was taller than Qingwan and wore a veil like Xiao Changxi. Naturally, he knew that she was now Butler Xiao's daughter.

Everyone who passed by her greeted her and said, "Miss Yang, good morning."

Yang Zijun is now a very special person in the Qin Mansion. She is not a servant of the manor.

But her mother is indeed the housekeeper of the house, and her cousin Qingwan is the young master's personal maid, so everyone respects her.

Yang Zijun walked to Qin Ming's study, knocked on the door, and said:

"Is Mr. Qin here? I am Yang Zijun, come here to see cousin Wan'er."

Qin Ming in the study heard the sound outside the door, so he said:

"come in."

After speaking, he turned to Wan'er and said:

"Since Wan'er is here to see you, just accept her."

After saying that, I started to immerse myself in writing and drawing on the paper.

Qin Ming has been very busy these days. In addition to dealing with various affairs of the house,

It was more about recalling some knowledge from previous lives, especially about mathematics, physics, chemistry, medical geography and applied science. Qin Ming compiled these into a book and kept them in a secret compartment in his room.

Qin Ming found that the longer he stayed here, the blurr his memory of future generations became.

Sometimes, he even felt that those in his previous life were just a dream, and that he was his true self now.
