Chapter 1304 Interest in the South

In the past, Li Shimin was not very interested in the Western Regions. After all, he could not bring much to the Tang Empire, but the situation is different now. The business exchanges between the two places are very frequent, and this trade road can bring much to the Tang Empire every year. The Tang Empire brought in tax revenue of three million yuan.

In addition, there are tributes from all over the Western Regions, which are also very valuable. Take some of the beauties in the palace now, the Western Regions have contributed a lot, so it is absolutely impossible for Li Shimin to give up the Western Regions.

Even without these people and things, how could a great monarch give up his land casually? What's more, these lands were hard-won, and they were all obtained by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

"I think you should stay in Chang'an City for a while. During this period, I still don't know their true or false status. It won't be too late to make a decision until the next memorial from the Western Regions comes back. If they are defeated, then we will have to start from the beginning." Chang'an has led his troops there."

Li Shimin's words are also very reasonable. Li Xiang is currently in a turbulent past, and no one person can change the overall situation. If Cheng Chumo and the others can defeat them, then Li Xiang does not have to rush over, but if they cannot defeat them, then Reinforcements have to be sent over, and it won't be too late for Li Xiang to follow the reinforcements.

To be honest, the reason why Li Shimin said this was because Li Xiang spent too little time in the capital. When looking at his grandson, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Li Xiang has been fighting outside for these years. Without Li Xiang's victory, where would the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty come from? Therefore, it is rare for Li Shimin to feel sorry for Li Xiang, not to mention that his family has just married so many beautiful girls and has always left them alone at home. How can this be done?

From a political point of view, it is impossible for the royal family alone to govern the entire country. There must be a group of relatives of the emperor and the emperor. How to connect the relationship between the royal family and the emperor's relatives? That means there must be a next generation.

As long as these wives of Li Xiang have children, even if they give birth to a daughter, it is better than having nothing at all. Most of the time, all kinds of gifts are not necessary. As long as there is a common next generation, then the relationship between the two parties will be better. The relationship has improved a lot.

"Then just listen to your grandfather. It just so happens that my grandson is also lazy. Although it is not hard to fight in the south during this period, the humid weather in the south is really uncomfortable."

Speaking of the humid weather in the south, Li Xiang really can't stand it. It's not even the rainy season, but the bedding is wet every day. If it really comes to the rainy season, I really don't know how to live this day. .

"I heard that it often rains in the south, and it seems to rain several times in a day. If this is the case, wouldn't there be frequent floods?"

After talking about national affairs, Li Shimin also became interested in the south. Although he also fought all over the world, he had never been to the south.

"There are many rivers and lakes in the local area. Although it rains a lot, because the temperature is higher than in the north, more water evaporates. The moisture in the air..."

When Li Xiang said this, he found that Li Shimin was confused and couldn't understand what Li Xiang said at all, so Li Xiang could only use another method and talk and gesture. Let Li Shimin understand the reason why it often rains in the south without being affected by disasters.

Of course, if it really comes into the rainy season, there will be more rainfall each year. In addition, if drainage is not timely, there is still a high chance of flooding.

"It seems that our Middle-earth Tang Dynasty is better. After all, the outside world is a place where a bunch of monkeys live."

Li Shimin said very proudly, "We have four distinct seasons here. This is the place where life is going through. Don't worry about how ripe it is every year. In his opinion, the humid weather alone is not habitable for normal people. But for As far as the local people are concerned, if they are all moved to Chang'an City, they will not be able to bear this kind of dry weather. Otherwise, how can we say that a place with water and soil can support a person?

Li Xiang chatted with Li Shimin for a long time, and then Li Shimin put Li Xiang back and agreed to host a banquet tomorrow.

"Is there nothing going on in the house these days?"

Coming out of Li Shimin's main hall, Li Xiang saw Qian Ping waiting at the door.

"There are not many other things, but my mother is not in good health."

Qian Ping said with a grimace, Li Xiang had too many women, and the harem would definitely not be as peaceful as before. After Cheng Luan gave birth to his daughter, it was time for him to recover, but the eldest grandson Pingting gave birth to a son. There are a hundred more women in Admiral Tiance's house, but not one more son, which makes it uncomfortable.

"Any more?"

This incident was expected. Although Cheng Luan was a relatively generous woman, she always felt powerless when living in this place and facing the rumors around her.

"The eldest young master has moved to the capital..."

Qian Ping stayed to assist the eldest grandson Pingting. Although he tried to persuade him several times, he could not persuade him in the end. The eldest grandson Pingting moved directly from outside the city to the capital and lived in Li Xiang's other courtyard in the capital.

On the surface, Qian Ping is Changsun Pingting's assistant, but in fact, he is still on Li Xiang's side. After suffering a big loss last time, Qian Ping certainly knows who his destiny lies with. No matter what others say, Qian Ping They will all report the truest news to Li Xiang.

"It's really not a worry. Let's go to my father first."

Li Xiang came back from the south. After meeting Li Shimin, he had to go to Li Chengqian's place. As for the women at home, they had to take advantage of this time to have a good fight. Although it may not be able to stop this kind of fighting, it cannot intensify.

Changsun Pingting used to live outside the city, but she just didn't want to face these people in Chang'an City. After all, this status was not good-looking, and it might bring a certain amount of shame to the Changsun family.

But things are different now. Although Li Xiang’s promise is not mentioned, everyone in the capital knows it, but most people have heard that as long as he is Li Xiang’s son, he may have equal opportunities in the future, so Changsun Ping Ting could no longer stay outside the city. She had to let her son live in Chang'an City.

The environment can shape a person. If he has been living outside the city, the child may appear timid and not know how to deal with many things, so he must live in a power nest. Only in this way can the child Slowly grow up and become a person like his father. (End of chapter)
