Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Li Xiao looked at Li Chongyi thoughtfully.

Li Chongyi was secretly happy when he heard this.

But then I heard Li Xiao say: "Housekeeper, order me to clean up all the crops in the fields. I have other uses."

Hearing this, Li Chongyi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is still some time before the autumn harvest, why clean up the crops now?"

"My king's field, I can do whatever I want, when will it be your turn to take care of it?"

At this time, Li Xiao no longer had a good look at Li Chongyi.

"you!"

Li Chongyi's face darkened, and he said immediately: "Your Highness, can I take a step to speak?"

"Row."

Li Xiao nodded expressionlessly, he wanted to see what kind of tricks this Li Chongyi was trying to pull off.

The two moved to the side hall.

Li Chongyi thought for a while, and tried to persuade him: "Your Highness, you are still young and have never been in charge of the family, so you may not be very clear about it."

"There are more than 100 servants in this villa, all relying on the harvest in the field. If there is no harvest, the monthly payment will not be paid. Do you want to use your salary to fill this hole?"

"I know about the monthly money. You don't need to worry about it. What do you want to say?" Li Xiao frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, you still haven't figured it out. This is not a small amount. How can your salary alone be enough? And that doesn't include the monthly money and food of the two hundred forbidden troops."

"Your Highness, speaking of it, I can be considered your elder brother. The blood that flows in our bones is of the same origin. You are still young and ignorant. As an elder brother, I will never harm you."

Li Chongyi's great-great-grandfather was Li Hu, Duke of the Western Wei and Tang Dynasties, who was also Li Xiao's great-great-grandfather.

If you really want to count, the two actually have such a blood relationship.

"Li Chongyi." Li Xiao smiled and said with the corners of his mouth raised, "Yes, you really didn't harm me, but you just wanted to extract a lot of money from it. Is what I said right?"

He didn't need to guess to know that Li Chongyi simply wanted to continue to get oil and water from the hundred acres of fertile land.

Hearing this, Li Chongyi's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has no evidence, so don't recklessly accuse the humble official!"

"Then why do you hinder this king from cleaning up the farmland? If there is no benefit, you will be so enthusiastic?"

"Your Highness, stay on top of things and don't do too much. You are the owner of your villa and just wait to get the money. Why do you have to die?" Li Chongyi said with a gloomy face.

"Hehe, the fish is dead and the net is broken? You deserve it too?" Li Xiao laughed lightly and said disdainfully.

"If you continue to operate like this, the villa will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later. Don't blame the humble staff for speaking harshly. This is a fact."

"I think the villa will prosper because of this king, but whether it rises or falls, it's none of your business. You can go."

"Okay, since His Highness insists on this, there is nothing to say about being humble. I just hope that Your Highness will not regret it."

In the end, Li Chongyi turned gloomy and left.

However, just as Li Chongyi was leaving the house, a knife was placed on his neck in an instant.

Zhao Yuntian looked serious, and shouted: "Take it!"

In an instant, several black-armored guards rushed over and took control of Li Chongyi.

Li Chongyi shouted furiously: "His Royal Highness, what do you mean?!"

Li Xiao came out when he heard the movement, and was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Yuntian said respectfully: "This person's eyes are full of murderous intent, he must be resentful towards His Highness, should he be executed on the spot?"

Chapter 56: Li Tai's Visit

"what?"

Li Xiao looked confused, then slapped his head, and said a little speechlessly: "Commander Zhao, it's not possible to execute the Fa on the spot, let him go!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Tianyun immediately carried out the order.

Li Chongyi regained his freedom, did not dare to say a word, and fled in a hurry.

He was really afraid that Li Xiao didn't care about the seriousness of things, so he killed him.

"Commander Zhao, what do you mean?" Li Xiao asked puzzled.

Zhao Yuntian cupped his hands, and said with a serious face: "Return to His Highness, it is the duty of the subordinates to protect His Highness, and naturally the subordinates dare not slack off in the slightest. Once there is any dangerous factor, it must be killed in the cradle."

Not far away, Li Junxian also smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness, it is this subordinate who talks too much and said a few words."

"All right!"

Li Xiao was helpless, and immediately said: "Commander Zhao, you did a good job!"

He didn't recruit either.

Zhao Yuntian also protects him out of good intentions, he can't say something chilling!

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness, and I will definitely do my duty faithfully!"

Zhao Yuntian looked serious.

"housekeeper."

Li Xiao looked at the servants in the distance.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?" the old butler said respectfully.

"I don't care what benefits Li Chongyi gives you, from now on, you can no longer have any contact with him, once you find out..."

Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, shot out a cold light, and said solemnly: "Kill without mercy!"

"what?!"

The butler was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the villain has absolutely no such intentions. Your Highness, please look into it."

"In that case, do you have anything to say to the king?"

"Your Highness, the villain was just about to say that the account book was indeed tampered with by Li Chongyi. He also embezzled a lot of money over the years. Also, a few maidservants disappeared from the villa in the past two years. I know that it was Li Chongyi who did it secretly. hell, and..."

Next, the butler revealed a lot of insidious deeds by Li Chongyi.

"Okay, let's forget about the past, you will explain it right away, and clear all the farmland as soon as possible, I have other uses."

Li Xiao didn't bother to trace those things in the past, so he said impatiently.

After the housekeeper left, Li Junxian said in surprise: "Your Highness, do you really want to clear the farmland?"

"Well, I want to grow some other food." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.

He didn't know what the system was doing, why did he reward him with so many seeds?

How wonderful it would be if this were replaced with modern technology!

But he has no choice. In this era, if he wants to protect himself, he can only strengthen his power.

And to achieve this goal, a lot of silver is needed.

Whether it is raising an army or manufacturing various advanced weapons, almost everything is inseparable from silver.

He is very poor and can only find ways to make money.

These seeds are the only ones that can be used now.

"Your Highness, this season may not be suitable for growing food. If you force it, you may lose everything."

Li Junxian looked worried.

He knew that Li Xiao was very independent and had his own opinions.

But as long as they are normal people, they all know the truth of "spring plowing and autumn harvest".

It's August now, and you said you want to grow food, isn't that nonsense!

"Don't worry, the grain I planted is different, and there will definitely be a harvest."

Li Xiao is full of confidence and has a plan in mind.

System produced, must be a boutique.

The introduction of the seed states that it can ignore factors such as seasonal climate and temperature, and the maturity period is only one month.

The disadvantage is that they cannot reproduce.

In other words, he can only plant as many acres of land as he has seeds.

Li Junxian couldn't understand Li Xiao's actions, but he couldn't keep talking.

Next, Li Xiao took Li Junxian and Zhao Yuntian for a walk on the "Island in the middle of the lake".

Of course, you have to be more familiar with your own territory.

After strolling around for a while, Li Xiao felt that this place is really big.

There are also many vacant halls and attics.

Li clamored for his subordinates to carry out the transformation according to his wishes.

"Well... all the courtyards in this row have been joined together and turned into a blacksmith workshop."

"These halls have been converted into warehouses..."

"The attic here is converted into a craftsman's workshop."

"And here, it's changed to a brewery..."

Li Xiao started planning with great interest.

"Uncle Li, send someone to Chang'an to buy supplies, as well as equipment and tools, etc. This is the list."

"Also, recruit some blacksmiths, craftsmen, masons..."

Li Junxian looked at the list in his hand and was stunned: "Your Highness, you are preparing to..."

"I want to develop this place into the largest industrial city in the world!" Li Xiao said seriously.

"industrial city?"

It was the first time for Li Junxian to hear this word, and he was a little confused.

"Just do it as you go. If you don't have enough money, report it in time. I'll figure out a way."

Immediately, Li Xiao handed over all the money obtained from Cheng Chumo to Li Junxian.

"All right!"

Li Junxian was helpless, just about to leave to go to work, suddenly glanced at the list, and asked curiously: "Your Highness, did you make a mistake? Why buy so much sulfur? This amount will not be used up for decades, right?" ?”

"I am useful."

Li Xiao was thoughtful.

Sulfur, of course, is used to make gunpowder.

The flintlock blueprint was almost moldy in his hands.

His temporary goal is to make a flintlock gun.

After Li Junxian left, Li Xiao arranged some tasks for Zhao Yuntian.

After an unknown amount of time, a guard suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness has come down!"

"Fourth Highness? Li Tai?"

Li Xiao looked puzzled.

What does he come to do?

"Where is he? I'll go and see." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.

"Still at the gate of the villa, my subordinate wanted to take the Fourth Highness to the front hall to rest, but was stopped by Commander Zhao's people." The guard said respectfully.

"Take him to the front hall!" Li Xiao said speechlessly while supporting his forehead.

"Yes!"
