Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Since ancient times, Huaxia has been the most typical representative of farming civilization. The vast majority of people live off the food grown in the fields. This tradition is deeply engraved in the genes of the Chinese people, and has even become a special "racial talent" that has continued to future generations.

No matter where they go, even if it is a desert, the Chinese can cultivate a field! Then it takes root and sprouts, branches and leaves, and becomes a lush community.

It can be said that the farmland is the sustenance of the Chinese people, and it is a comfort that no other civilization can understand.

However, farming civilization also has its problems. One of them is the shortage of meat food.

In ancient times, eating meat was a luxury for Chinese people. In fact, it was only a few decades after the reform and opening up that people in later generations became accustomed to eating meat.

Eating meat had been one of the hallmarks of nobility for thousands of years before that. Ordinary common people can eat meat once or twice a year, even if it is just worthless offal, that is a good life.

Because of this, "meat eater" has always been regarded as one of the pronouns of the upper class.

Just imagine, in China's thousands of years of history, a dynasty that can feed most people is already a rare and good situation, enough to be written into the history books as "the rule of so-and-so", and even worthy of the phrase "the rule of the world". comments.

As for Li Xin, the future he is looking forward to is far brighter than this.

Li Shimin suddenly felt the burning heart in Li Xin's chest from Li Xin's words. He was touched for no reason.

All along, he thought that Li Xin was just a ignorant child, but at this moment, he saw a mature person, an ambitious person——

Even Li Shimin himself is just hoping to get through the aftermath of this severe drought safely, and try his best to let the people in the whole Tang Dynasty have two bites of food, but Li Xin has already thought of letting the people eat meat every now and then. , if this is not ambition, then what is ambition?

This kind of ambition full of innocence and passion, Li Shimin really hopes that the more the better!

However, although he was very moved, Li Shimin's face remained calm, instead he smiled and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? How difficult is this, have you ever thought about it?"

"I've thought about it." Li Xin nodded, smiled, and said, "But what does that have to do with Weichen?"

"Huh?" Empress Changsun made a doubtful voice first. After listening to Li Xin's words just now, she regretted that she was so strict with Li Xin just now, and was a little moved by Li Xin's innocent heart. She didn't expect that Li Xin would start to stretch her legs in the next sentence, which made her completely confused.

What does it have to do with him? Didn't he say that he hoped that the people of the Tang Dynasty could eat meat? Was he going to let someone else do it?

Li Shimin was also puzzled, and quietly looked at Li Xin, waiting for his explanation.

"Weichen knows very well that no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible to realize his dream of letting most people eat meat in his lifetime." Li Xin laughed.

This is very clear. Historical development has its own laws, and the improvement of productivity cannot be achieved overnight. It is simply impossible to realize the freedom to eat meat in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years in advance.

Li Shimin didn't speak. His empire, of course, he was well aware of its condition. Therefore, he knew that what Li Xin said was not wrong.

Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin was lost in thought, so she didn't speak. She doesn't know much about politics and national conditions, but she also experienced hardships in her early years and has a lot of life experience. From the point of view of feeling alone, she doesn't think it's a matter of talking and talking to let most people eat meat. something that can be done.

Therefore, Li Xin continued: "This great goal is destined to be left to our descendants to achieve. The only thing we can do is to minimize the difficulty for future generations to accomplish this goal and create sufficient conditions for them. So, although this matter is difficult, it is not difficult for this minister."

"Besides, the Great Tang is Your Majesty's Great Tang." He looked at Li Shimin and said, "The lives of the people are all dependent on His Majesty. If you want the people in the world to live and work in peace and contentment, that is what Your Majesty should work hard on, boy. I don't have a pair of iron shoulders to take on such a responsibility, at most I can only assist from the side, and share a little bit or two with His Majesty."

"Share one or two points? That's enough." Li Shimin pondered for a long time, finally sighed, and said, "If everyone can think like you, then the burden on me will be much lighter."

Li Xin cupped his hands quickly, and said: "I believe that all the ministers in the court must think so." Are you kidding, this kind of conversation is not easy to pick up, it's better to shake it clean.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes, and said: "It's very slippery. Just now you said you want to share my worries, why did you start playing small-minded in the blink of an eye?"

Li Xin simply pretended to be stupid to the end: "No. Could it be that my minister made a mistake?"

Empress Changsun slapped Li Xin with a smile and cursed, and said: "Okay, don't mention these things. I know you have a lot of thoughts, but in front of the two of us, you should accept it."
