Chapter 183 Princess Jinyang
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is an urgent memorial from eight hundred miles south of the Five Ridges." Li Mu said.
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and quickly took it over to watch it.
"Okay, very good!" Li Shimin said happily.
The memorial was sent by Feng An, saying that Lin Yiguo does have three rice crops a year.
Because Lin Yiguo is too small, he only collected more than 1000 stone seeds.
Feng Ang was worried that the people of Tang Dynasty would not grow it, so he found more than 100 peasants from Lin Yiguo, sent a boat along the coastline with the grain, and transported it to Mingzhou.
Li Shimin immediately issued an order to let Hangzhou County arrange planting as soon as possible after accepting the seeds without delay.
With Zhenguan rice seeds and Zhenguan plow, as long as there are no natural disasters, there will be basically no shortage of food after the Tang Dynasty.
……
"Father, there's a letter from Chang'an." Cui Yi said
Cui Lingdao, the Patriarch of the Cui family, said: "Isn't the family affairs handled by you? Could it be that something major has happened?"
Now he has begun to slowly delegate power, and his son Cui Yi is basically handling the affairs of the family.
And Cui Yi has always handled it very well, now that he comes to him, there is only one possibility, he can't handle it.
Cui Yi said: "Father, Cui Hao sent a letter saying that Hou Linxuan of Jingyang County knows how to make colored glaze. He wanted to get it and dedicate it to his family, but Lin Xuan directly dedicated it to Li Shimin. He has no choice now."
"Well, the method of making colored glaze is indeed a good thing. If we can get it, the strength of our Cui family will also increase greatly." Cui Lingdao nodded and said.
Cui Yi said: "Yeah, I got the news and I'm going to send a group of people to Chang'an to get the production method."
"You did the right thing, come to see the old man now, did something happen?" Cui Lingdao asked lightly.
Cui Yi nodded and said, "I was just about to send someone to Chang'an, when Cui Hao sent another letter, saying that Li Shimin had sent an imperial army to guard nearby."
Cui Lingdao was not surprised. The method of making colored glaze is a cash cow. It is impossible for Li Shimin not to know that it is reasonable to attach so much importance to it.
But in this way, it would be difficult for the Cui family to get the method of making colored glaze.
After all, Chang'an was Li Shimin's territory, and it was very difficult for them to succeed when Li Shimin was prepared.
Cui Lingdao pondered for a while and said: "I remember that Lin Xuan should be a young man, right? He was the one who competed with us last time, right?"
"It's him, that kid has ruined our good deeds several times. Now he has figured out the method of making colored glaze. Li Shimin will not have to worry about money after getting the method of making colored glaze. If he spares his hands to deal with us, I'm afraid..." Cui Yi said with some worry.
Li Shimin was able to succeed because of the help of their family.
Later, not only did they fail to keep their promises, but they also kept suppressing their family.
From the fact that they called him by his first name, he knew that they no longer had the slightest respect for Li Shimin.
Cui Lingdao said confidently: "There's no need to worry about that. Li Shimin doesn't have the ability to destroy our family. But it's really not a good thing for us to let him increase his strength like this."
"Is there anything dad can do?" Cui Yi asked.
Cui Lingdao thought for a while and asked, "I heard that Li Shimin betrothed his daughter to that Lin Xuan?"
"There is such a thing, Li Shimin is very willing to spend money in order to win over Lin Xuan." Cui Yi said.
Cui Lingdao said calmly: "Since Li Shimin is willing, we are also willing to let Cui Hao go to Lin Xuan. As long as Lin Xuan is willing to hand over the method of making colored glaze, we Cui family daughters can marry him as a wife."
Everyone in the world is proud to marry a woman with five surnames, and he believes that Lin Xuan will not be able to refuse.
"Father, how is this possible?" Cui Yi said.
Li Shimin once asked for girls with five surnames for his son, but they jointly rejected them.
In his opinion, Lin Xuan is not worthy of a woman from their family.
Cui Lingdao glared at Cui Yi, and said, "Why not? Lin Xuan can make immortal intoxication, and now it's the method of making colored glaze. Isn't it worth our wooing?"
They refused Li Shimin's marriage proposal at the beginning, just to retaliate against him for not keeping the agreement.
It's not because they think women with five surnames are noble.
People all over the world take pride in marrying women of the five surnames, just because the five surnames are regarded as noble, and the ancients valued the family status very much.
In Cui Lingdao's view, as long as Lin Xuan can be won over, not to mention one woman, even ten are worthwhile.
"Father, Lin Xuan didn't dare to give us the method of making colored glaze." Cui Yi said.
He didn't think about whether Lin Xuan would agree to it, but worried about whether he would dare or not.
In his opinion, their five surnames are more noble than princesses.
Lin Xuan would definitely be ecstatic if he had this opportunity.
Cui Lingdao thought for a while and said, "Well, let Cui Hao tell him that we made it and won't sell it in Datang, so he doesn't have to worry about it."
There are so many countries around Datang, are you afraid that you will not make money?
If there is a fight with Li Shimin in Datang, who knows if Li Shimin will announce the method in a fit of anger.
Cui Yi nodded and said: "Father, in this way, he will definitely agree. I will write back to Cui Hao."
"Wait." Cui Lingdao called to stop Cui Yi, and said, "The other companies must have gotten the news, and they might be paying the same attention as us. You ask Yuxiu to go to Chang'an in person."
The few of them are in the same spirit, just to deal with Li Shimin.
Their Cui family is known as the No. [-] family in the world, and it is impossible for the other families to have no idea about the title of "No. [-] family in the world".
Cui Yi exclaimed: "Father, you mean to betroth Yuxiu to him? This is not possible."
Cui Yuxiu is his daughter, the first daughter of the Cui family.
Cui Yi originally thought that Cui Lingdao was planning to choose a side branch girl, but who knew he wanted to marry Cui Yuxiu to Lin Xuan.
Cui Lingdao said: "When did the old man say that he wanted to marry Yuxiu to Lin Xuan? Yuxiu is smart, so let her go to Chang'an to handle this matter."
Cui Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "Father, I'll go right away."
The other families made the same decision as the Cui family. Li Shimin had no choice but to start with Lin Xuan.
……
Lin Xuan didn't know this, because a major event happened in Chang'an recently.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, on February 26, Empress Changsun conceived in nine months and gave birth to a daughter.
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and named him Sizi as Princess Jinyang.
And issued an edict, one month later, all the ministers will be entertained to celebrate Princess Jinyang.
Li Shimin has many children, not to mention Li Chengqian who was born before he ascended the throne, Princess Jinyang is the first child who was given a title right after birth.
Moreover, Jinyang was the place where the Li family raised their troops, and it had always been regarded as the place where the dragon flourished. Li Shimin named Sizi the Princess of Jinyang, which shows how much he loves her.
Many meritorious ministers are wondering whether to have a son now and marry Princess Jinyang back later.
Lin Xuan was taken aback when he heard the news. Although Princess Jinyang was very favored in history, she didn't get the title immediately after she was born.
It is estimated that this is the same as what he said before, giving birth to a child is extremely harmful to the body of the eldest grandson empress.
And Princess Jinyang became the last child of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, so Li Shimin loved Princess Jinyang even more.
In ancient times, only the birth of the eldest son would be celebrated with great fanfare.
For other children, it is usually celebrated by their own family members.
But this time Li Shimin actually wanted to celebrate Princess Jinyang, which gave Lin Xuan a headache.
You said that you have to give gifts when you attend a banquet.
It's okay for Princess Jinyang to be older, as long as he gets some novelty toys.
But Princess Jinyang is so small, this gift can only be given to Empress Zhangsun.
Lin Xuan is not short of money, but you can't send a bunch of money as a gift, right?
Apart from money, the Lin family really had nothing to sell.
Some people will definitely say, can money not buy good things?
Lin Xuan wanted to say that it is true, of course ordinary things can be bought.
But it's really hard to buy something that can be given to the queen, and something the queen likes.
"My lord, what are you thinking about with a frowning face?" Chunyue asked.
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw Chunyue. He didn't intend to do anything during the day, but thought that as a woman, maybe Chunyue would know what Empress Changsun liked.
"Chunyue, you said that if you give the empress a gift, what would she like?" Lin Xuan asked.
Chunyue thought for a while and said, "My lord, the Empress doesn't lack anything. Except for some novelty things, the servants really can't think of what the Empress would like."
novelty?
Lin Xuan laughed, yes, there is no good gift, I can make it myself.
As a time traveler, if I casually get something they haven't seen before, Empress Changsun will definitely like it.
Lin Xuan saved Chunyue, kissed her on the cheek, and said happily: "Thank you Chunyue, I have figured out a way."
Thanks Zhang Chou for the monthly pass.
