"So, how can we torture him to improve his skills?"

Li Shimin asked again, looking at everyone.

Of course, everyone in the room actually knew that although he seemed to be asking everyone, he was actually asking Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

In a sense, these two people are his Prime Minister Zhuge, or Xiao He and Zhang Liang.

Even during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, it was these two people who made the final decision for him.

"Your Majesty, Liang Shidu may be able to help."

"Liang Shidu"

When mentioning this person, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.

how to say.

Because this guy had a confused mind and couldn't see the situation clearly. In a sense, what Cao Cao said about Yuan Shu was also correct when he was evaluated. He was just a dead bone in a tomb. He was able to jump around in Shuofang for a few years only because the Tang Dynasty was just established.

But he didn't know that he had already reached a dead end.

He had no power to borrow from the Central Plains, and the barbarians outside the territory would not treat him sincerely. In fact, if he hadn't been lucky enough to let that bastard Jie Li Khan unify DTZ from chaos, he would have died long ago.

Of course, it is undeniable that he does have some talent and strength, and is good at ice spells and shamanic techniques. The several attempts by the people I sent before did allow him to fight back and forth with the Tang army. However, afterwards, he adopted the strategy of surrounding but not attacking, and it won't be long before he collapses.

In other words, Liang Shidu's defeat was inevitable in this matter, so it would be a good idea to bring in this extraordinary person and test his abilities. Even if something went wrong, it would be under his control.

"good."
-
Early in the morning, Li Zhongren opened his eyes.

Beside him were beautiful maids, the kind that were not wanted after 18 years old, and there were two of them.

One left and one right.

Last night, I bathed him, changed his clothes, warmed his bed, and put him to bed, all in one go.

During the whole process, there was not even the slightest resistance, it was really as smooth as twisting your fingers.

Although he knew in his heart that this was the rule of the feudal world, but as the saying goes, the head follows the butt. He is not a saint. When he is a vested interest holder, he will only feel very happy. Perhaps, only those who truly have a global vision can resist such corruption and bravely lead the world to make changes.

"Master, you are awake."

"Ah."

Li Zhongren sat up slowly, and the two maids immediately followed suit and took care of his daily life.

Right now, it’s early spring, and it’s actually quite cold.

But the house was warm.

This is the credit of the mechanism, whose position is a furnace.

This further proves one thing: the Tang Dynasty he is in is a magical Tang Dynasty, and many things cannot be taken for granted.

Of course, he actually knew nothing about the history of the Tang Dynasty. What he knew were basically some fragments, or came from some anecdotes and stories. He basically didn't know what happened throughout the life of the Tang Dynasty. He didn't even know who the emperor was after Li Shimin. He only knew that there was a Wu Zetian, and then Li Longji and so on.

As for the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there is an even blank record.

However, this is also a good thing for him. After all, Li Shimin said that he is not allowed to spoil things about the future. He doesn't know anything about it at all, so it is even more impossible for him to spoil things.

About an hour later.

Li Zhongren was basking in the sun in the yard.

After all, he had nothing to do and was not allowed to leave.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a man wearing a dark robe, a fu hat, a metal belt with a jade pendant around his waist, and leather boots walked in. He looked to be about forty years old.

Although Li Zhongren didn't know his identity, he could probably figure out the other party's position.

eunuch.

After all, he had a bare chin just like himself. In this era, apart from time travelers like him, probably only eunuchs had no beard.

"Meet Mr. Li."

As expected, the man spoke.

The sound seems somewhat neutral, even slightly sharp.

"Your Majesty invites you."

"Oh."

Li Zhongren nodded and followed the eunuch in front of him out of his residence.

On the way, Zhang Ananda glanced at the young man, no, it should be said that he was a young man, a few times without leaving a trace.

As expected, he doesn't look like a person from the Central Plains.

The behavior, manners, and accent were all new to me.

In particular, he had no reverence for the imperial power and the imperial palace, or to be more precise, he did not understand them. He had known countless people and naturally knew that it was as if the other party had never experienced these things.

"As expected of an alien."

Yes, he knows that too.

As the personal eunuch of the current Tang Emperor, he naturally knew many secrets, such as Yuan Tiangang's prophecy.

In fact, he was the one who presided over the cleaning of the Taiji Palace yesterday.

After all, his identity is the eunuch in charge, and he is in charge of these matters and does not let them waste His Majesty's energy.

"Young Master Li, please wait a moment. I need to report to His Majesty."

"Oh"

"Your Majesty, the strange man, Mr. Li, has been brought here and is waiting outside the door."

"Well, let him in."

Li Shimin was looking through memorials. Since he became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was basically either dealing with memorials or on his way to deal with them every day. After all, everyone in the world knew how he became the emperor. He didn't want to explain, nor could he explain. So he would let the facts speak for themselves. He would make great achievements to prove that he was right.

"coming."

Looking at Li Zhongren walking in, still looking around, Li Shimin put down the memorial and said with a smile.

"Ah, Your Majesty, good morning."

"hehe."

"Is this how you greet people over there?"

"Well, sometimes, I also ask, have you eaten?"

"have you eaten?"

Li Shimin was a little curious.

"What kind of greeting is this? Come and sit down."

"Oh"

Li Zhongren was not polite and sat down not far from Li Shimin. He took a look at the pile of memorials and couldn't help grinning. Being an emperor, especially a wise ruler, is really tiring.
"That's right. Maybe he's just scared because he's hungry."

"Are you scared of being hungry?"

"Ah, after all, it wasn't until our time that the people's food problem was barely solved, and that was only in our country, so "Have you eaten?" is probably the best greeting to a person."

"Too."

Li Shimin nodded. Although he came from a noble family, he had fought in wars for so many years and had seen all the sufferings of the world.

"What was your era like?"

"Can you tell me?"

"I can tell you that, haha."

"How should I put it? If it's military, I'm not sure."

Li Zhongren said half-truthfully. After all, his era was not the same as the Tang Dynasty. Many things were meaningless. It was even said that because of the existence of magical power, it was unclear whether firearms could still be used. In several of Li Zhongren's worlds, weapons lost their effectiveness because of the existence of spiritual energy. Therefore, not being able to explain clearly was the most reasonable choice. After all, how could ordinary people know these things if they thought from the perspective of the emperor.

"But people's livelihood, that is, the lives of ordinary people, can already achieve freedom in terms of rice and meat."

"Why?"

Li Shimin tilted his head slightly and asked.

"That is, if an ordinary citizen wants to eat meat, he doesn't need to think twice, just go and buy it if he wants to eat it."

"All the common people?"

"More than 90%."

"hiss"

Li Shimin took a breath of cold air.

Again, he is the emperor, he knows too well the value of these words.
"anything else?"

"Hmm, let me think about it."

Li Zhongren tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Let's talk about food, clothing, housing, and medical care."

"First of all, clothing. After 1400 years, unless there is some extreme weather disaster, no one will freeze to death in winter anywhere. I mean, assuming you don't commit suicide. For example, people who drink too much and freeze to death while sleeping in the snow and ice often happen."

"Ha, keep going."

"Food, as I said before, rice and meat are free. Ordinary people may not be able to afford delicacies from land and sea, but they can eat all kinds of rice, millet, corn, wheat, and so on. As for meat, pork, beef, and mutton are all free to eat."

"Beef is also OK? What about the farmland?"

"Well, these mechanical beasts can also be used by ordinary people 1400 years later. They are used to cultivate the land."

"what??"

Li Shimin blinked.

"This this.."

But then he thought again and it seemed that it was not a bad idea. It was not possible now because the cost of driving the mechanical beast was quite high and ordinary people could not afford it. But 1400 years later, perhaps future generations would have thought of a way to reduce the cost.

"As for housing, in cities like Chang'an, housing prices are still very expensive, or even more expensive. But if you leave these big cities, the housing prices in small places are acceptable to ordinary people. At least they can afford it if they grit their teeth."

"Okay. At that time, the country built a lot of motor vehicles and let the people ride them at very cheap prices. Some people with spare money could also buy small motor vehicles and drive them themselves. At that time, it was very common for people to go out, whether they were working outside or going out to relax."

"Then there is medical care. The country has established hospitals of different sizes in villages, towns, counties, cities, provinces, and states."

"Medical clinic?"

"That's about right. In short, if ordinary people are sick, they can go there to see a doctor. If your illness is serious, you can go to a higher-level hospital one level at a time, and then the government will reimburse you."

“What is reimbursement?”

"That is, if you spend 10 taels of silver on medical treatment, the government will at least reimburse you taels."

"Hu~~"

Li Shimin took another deep breath, causing the temperature in the entire Taiji Hall to rise by several degrees.

If the freedom of rice and meat was already unimaginable for him, then the reimbursement was an eye-opener for him. He even couldn't help but wonder, what kind of magnificent dynasty could do such a thing?

He couldn't imagine it. After all, one can't imagine something that he hasn't seen.

But one thing is certain, the dynasty 1400 years later must be hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than the Tang Dynasty to be qualified to do such a thing, because he saw one thing from the words of the young man in front of him, that is, indifference and ordinariness, and no one was surprised by this matter.

"That's about it. If I were to explain it in detail, it would take days and nights to finish. But if your Majesty is interested, I can continue to tell you."

"No more."

Li Shimin shook his head.

"If I continue to listen, my heart will be in turmoil."

"Tell me about our Tang Dynasty. How many years has it been in existence?"

"I don't know, but it should be more than 200 years. I'm not very good at history because I was not a good student at school and I had no interest in history. When the teacher was lecturing, I would fall asleep."

“More than two hundred years.”

Li Shimin felt a little emotional. The Han Dynasty lasted for 400 years, but his Tang Dynasty was only about half as long as the Han Dynasty. To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied.

"Who will be the emperor after me?"

"do not know."

"??"

"I really don't know, Your Majesty. I told you, I'm not a good student. All I know about the Tang Dynasty is that you are the emperor, the most powerful man on earth in the sixth century AD."

"Ok??"

Li Shimin blinked his eyes. He didn't know what it meant, but he understood the words "the strongest man on earth".

"Tell me more about it. I mean, what is this AD?"

"It is a calendar for the future, 1,400 years from now."

"The era you lived in, according to that calendar, was the sixth century AD. A century is one hundred years, and the sixth century is about the year 600 AD."

"Six Hundred Years"

"and many more."

Li Shimin glared fiercely.

"Why should future generations take the puppet emperor Liu Xun as the beginning of the AD era?"

“Because this thing was made by foreigners.”

"Foreigner? What do you mean?"

"It means people outside the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhongren said weakly.

"Great food?"

"Further west, further west, they call themselves the Angsa people. Your Majesty, in fact, in the 19th century, we were once beaten to our homes by these people, who burned, killed, and looted. They did a lot of things in our territory for a hundred years. Then in the middle of the 20th century, we drove them all out. In fact, until the time I was in, we could only compete with these Angsa people head-on, but we didn't dare to say that we could definitely eliminate them completely."

"That's unreasonable!"

Li Shimin slammed the table.

The fine sandalwood table in front of him was smashed into pieces.

"His Majesty!"

"Get out!"

"Yes Yes"

Outside the door, the eunuch and the soldiers quickly retreated.

Only Li Shimin was left there, gasping for breath.

He always thought that his Weishui Alliance was a great humiliation.

I never thought that my descendants would be harmed by those barbarians for another 100 years.
"go on."

"oh oh."

"The Ansa people believe in monotheism. Their god was born in 0001 AD. Since they dominated the world for more than 100 years, this calendar was promoted to the whole world, including us. However, we use the AD calendar and our own lunar calendar. We have not forgotten the original calendar left by our ancestors."
