I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Hearing the compliments from the ministers, Yan Liben smiled modestly.

"Your Majesty is absurd, and all of you are overrated."

he said,

"I just described the real scene just now."

"Actually, my elder brother is the same as me, but he didn't handle the details well. After all, he hasn't touched the paintbrush for many years, and he has been deeply involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. It is indeed a bit difficult for him to be thorough."

This kid can be said to be full of emotional intelligence, and he helped my brother find some money back.

Yan Lide looked at his younger brother and was so moved that he almost shed tears!

"Well, I know."

Li Shimin clapped his hands and smiled,
"Lide is devoted to his duties in the Ministry of Industry, and every day he helps the minister of the Ministry of Industry to deal with government affairs, and often lights up night battles. I have heard a little about these things."

"This time is at best a small mistake, Lide, don't worry about it, I like you as a diligent and down-to-earth minister!"

Xu Fenglei: "..."

This Li Er, there is something in his words!
I waved my hands away, wouldn't that mean I spent more energy teaching those unlucky kids of yours?
By the way, just being lazy...

"Chen, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Lide bowed his hands and said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, the first two paintings, whether it's cutting locusts or swallowing locusts, are somewhat sad. In my opinion, I should make another painting to end with the jubilant scene at this time."

Yan Liben said again,
"How about taking the minister Xu Gong as the protagonist, blowing up the locusts and eating them, so that His Majesty and the people will be happy?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Okay, this is good!"

he clapped his hands,

"The plague of locusts is a disaster, but with the unremitting efforts of me and my dear friends, and Ting Ming's whimsical ideas, we turned the tragedy into joy!"

"Okay, you can draw another one! This time, I want to focus on depicting the common people. I want to see the expressions on their faces, with optimism and hope! Do you understand?"

"Abiding by the order." Yan Liben clapped his hands and said yes, and began to paint.

He already had a draft in his heart, so painting at this moment is naturally flowing.

"Listen, the locust bombing industry has just started. How do you plan to develop it next?"

Li Shimin picked up a bunch of locusts that had already been fried, and asked as he walked.

It was not too early at this time, and it was almost time for him to return to the palace.

Stuck here, the common people can't let go, right?

"Return to Your Majesty, I don't intend to develop, just let it grow wildly."

Xu Fenglei laughed,
"I am only responsible for spreading the seeds. Whether it grows into a towering tree with luxuriant branches or leaves, or dies halfway and declines from then on, it has nothing to do with me."

"Nowadays, a simple market has been established. Catch locusts—purchase—cook and fry—sell. This is a virtuous circle, and I don't need to intervene anymore."

"As for how this industry is, let the market test it. If it is liked by the people, it will naturally flourish."

Li Shimin couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this.

"You are so free and easy, I have a vague feeling that this industry is quite profitable." He said.

Xu Fenglei shook his head and smiled.

"I said before that I am not interested in money."

He said calmly.

"Just do it casually, there is no need to hold on to it, just give the people a little more room for development."

Li Shimin's eyes showed approval.

The kid in front of him has already controlled a huge amount of wealth, but he doesn't smell of copper at all.

Perhaps, it is because of this state of mind!
"Let's go."

He waved his hand, and was about to step onto the dragon chariot, when he saw a girl in the corner of the city wall as far as he could see.

On the girl's head, there was a straw mark.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin retracted his legs and walked to the base of the city wall.

Beside the girl, there was still a woman in rags and rags, but her face was haggard, her expression was haggard, and she said with trembling lips:
"Gentlemen, buy her!"

"Think of it as buying a kitten and puppy..."

Hearing this, all the officials following the emperor looked at each other in shock.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the tragedy of selling children and daughters also happened? !
"Li Tai!"

Xu Fenglei suddenly called out.

"Ah! Master..."

Li Tai's heart trembled, he hurriedly put the string in his hand into his mouth, and ran towards Xu Fenglei.

It must be no good if the master is called "Daiming"!

"Take out the snacks you're carrying..."

Xu Fenglei ordered.

Li Tai blinked, spread his hands and said:

"Master... my child doesn't eat, so where can I get snacks?"

Xu Fenglei glanced at him with sharp eyes.

Li Tai: "!!!"

The next moment, he obediently took out a pack of pastries from his inner pocket, and obediently handed it over.

"Master, here..."

Well-behaved.jpg.

There's no way... Master's eyes are too terrifying!

I have to follow.

"Go."

Xu Fenglei kicked him lightly, and hummed softly,
"Don't eat anymore, close the stall and go back to the palace! You are the one who sells the least among you, and you ate it all by yourself!"

"Yes, hehe, hehehe..."

Li Tai smiled awkwardly, and ran away in a hurry.

At the same time, Li Shimin looked at the dirty little girl, raised his eyes and said:

"How much does it cost?"

The woman's eyes were blank, her hands were trembling and she raised her hands. She made a two-to-one comparison at first, but then withdrew a finger hesitantly, and said in a low voice:
"One, one tael of silver..."

"Master, buy her, buy her, treat it as buying a kitten, buying a puppy..."

"Master, let's buy her..."

She dodged her eyes and kept repeating the words "buy her".

"mother……"

The girl hugged her mother's thigh, whimpering and crying.

"A tael of silver."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, his eyes were full of shock,
"Is such a big living person worth only one or two taels of silver?"

"Such a thing, I thought it could only happen in a crazy and chaotic world, but how could such a tragedy happen in this Zhenguan Dynasty..."

"It's only one tael of silver!"

He couldn't understand, really couldn't understand.

In a world of peace... can human life be so cheap? !
"Come on, girl, here it is."

Xu Fenglei handed the delicate pastry to the girl, and said softly,
"Eat."

Swish!
When the girl saw the food, she snatched it like a very hungry jackal, and started to eat it with big mouthfuls!
"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Xu Fenglei casually summoned a water bag and brought it in front of her.

But the girl didn't even look at it, she kept stuffing pastries into her mouth at the risk of choking to death, as if someone would snatch her away in the next second!
That appearance is really pitiful.

"Qingque, take out some more, this girl is really hungry..."

Li Chengqian looked at the girl and urged her brother.

Li Tai took out his pockets all over his body, and couldn't help but helplessly said: "...It's gone, one piece is gone, I should have brought more! I don't have anything else to eat right now, let's fry up some locusts for her to eat!"
