...The emperor brother, the master said he does not belong to this world

Li Shimin rode his horse and whipped it on the newly built cement road. Not long after, he met the soldiers returning on the cement road. The soldiers seemed very relaxed and were talking and laughing all the way, obviously not doing their best. Seeing Li Shimin riding over, he quickly saluted Li Shimin. Li Shimin waved his hand and said to Wukong for more words and passed by the soldiers. About two miles away from Tianxian Palace, he met the soldiers who were riding on the road.

It is obvious that these soldiers are far from the relaxation they had before, and they look exhausted and can even hold on. Li Shimin thought about it slightly. This time, the people who walk on the cement road were nearly twelve or three miles faster than those who walk on the rammed earth road, which is not the time difference when he rides the horse. The most important thing is that the soldiers who walk on the cement road obviously have enough energy. Look at the people who walk on the rammed earth road, the right judgment is made.

As an emperor who has been wearing it for many years on the battlefield, no one understands better than him that after a long journey, the soldiers still have the importance of having to fight a war, and they secretly make up their minds to get the money-saving plan for this cement road.

The cost of cement roads is much higher than that of rammed earth roads. If you count them carefully, it will be more expensive than cement. Li Shimin has been concerned about cement recently and knows that the cost of cement can be said to be not low. One pound of cement costs ten cents. You should know that a pound of rice in the Tang Dynasty is only three cents. This price is not too high. According to the Ministry of Industry's speculation, if there is no ** to mine lime mine, the price will probably be increased a few times.

As mentioned earlier, although the Tang Dynasty still retained the corvee service system, the work basically was nothing more than repairing the city walls and filling the roads, which were both time-consuming and money-consuming. But if you build a road, it would be equivalent to abandoning all the original roads. In this way, people would go there to collect all the labors? Corvee service is afraid of the people's changes. Hiring the national treasury has no money, which is a dilemma.

Before he knew it, Li Shimin had already run to the foot of the Tianxian Palace. He handed the horse to the Taoist priest at the mountain gate. After he asked the path guarding the mountain to pass it, he waited at the mountain gate. But it took more than half an hour to wait. Huang Junming had no news at all, and the little Taoist priest who had originally been to pass the message did not come back. This made Li Shimin a little anxious. He hurriedly urged the Taoist priest at the mountain gate to pass it on again.

There was a little Taoist priest who went to communicate, but after waiting for another two quarters of an hour, there was no news. This made Li Shimin very anxious. Li Shimin called the little Taoist priest at the mountain gate just to call Huang Junming for speed, but the speed was almost an hour, and Huang Junming still had no news at all. Li Shimin now wanted to run to the mountain and find Huang Junming to talk. But there was still a voice in his heart saying to himself: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. Maybe the immortal master will come down in a while."

Another quarter of an hour passed quietly. Li Shimin didn't say that he was living like a year, but he was not far away. Now he couldn't even sit still, wandering around the mountain gate. The Taoist priest who was guarding the gate felt irritated when he saw it, and had to recite the Qingxin Sutra secretly several times.

"Your Majesty, here you are!" The little Taoist priest saw a Taoist priest walking down the mountain from afar, reminding Li Shimin who was still paced.

"Oh? Finally here?" Li Shimin looked at the white-clothed Taoist priest who was coming down the mountain as if he woke up from a dream. It was obvious that this person was not Huang Junming, which made Li Shimin frown gently, but seeing that his figure was familiar, Li Shimin didn't think much about it. He just thought it was a Taoist priest on the mountain who came down to do things. He must have not come down after hearing his message.

Just as Li Shimin was about to continue to walk around and pass the time, the Taoist priest in white came before he could arrive and said, "Brother, wait for a hurry. Master knows your purpose, let me come over and tell the brother."

Li Shimin turned his head suddenly. Who is his eighth brother Li Yuanheng? If Li Shimin is concerned about what crime now, he will only have two words, 'Brother'. Killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji won the throne. This incident lingers in Li Shimin's mind like a nightmare, so Li Shimin now cherishes the remaining brothers: "Xiao Ba, you are in poor health, why are you going down the mountain? Where is the immortal master?"

When Li Yuanheng heard the name "Xiao Ba", his eyebrows raised and then stretched out again. He did not call Li Shimin the word "Emperor Brother", but said: "Second brother, my health is very good now. As for Master... Master will bring you a message..."

"Oh? What did the Immortal Master say?" Li Shimin heard Li Yuanheng say that he was in good health, and did not ask more questions and ignored it directly. After all, Huang Junming's news is the most important thing for him now.

Li Yuanheng took a deep breath, as if something was brewing, and then said, "Brother, Master said that he does not belong to this world. Many worldviews and behaviors are different from those of the Tang Dynasty. If you talk too much to the Emperor, it may be counterproductive. It is better to be rare in the future."

Li Shimin didn't care too much about Li Yuanheng's name for the emperor's brother. On the contrary, for Huang Junming, he frowned. What does the immortal master ask his eighth brother to say to him? The immortal master said that he was not a person from this world. Everyone knows this very well. The immortal master came from the heavenly realm and followed Emperor Zhang in front of the heavenly realm. The world is not the same as the Tang Dynasty. The immortal master also said this.

But the world view of the second sentence? What is the world view? Looking at it separately, the world is the human world, and the world should also refer to the human world where everyone is now in. It is said that there are seven realms, immortals, demons, Buddhas, spirits, ghosts, Shuras, and humans. These things are also mentioned in the words of the Immortal Master. As for observation, it should be observation and viewing. Is the Immortal Master trying to say that his views on the current world where the Tang Dynasty is located are different from those of others? It is easy to understand how behavior is, and this is connected. Does this mean that the Immortal Master thinks that his ideas and practices are different from those of the Tang Dynasty now? But what does it matter? If the thoughts and behaviors of immortals are the same as ordinary people, then is it still an immortal?

Thinking about it, if you talk too much to me, will it backfire? What will it backfire? Li Shimin was confused. Could it be... Li Shimin suddenly remembered something from the bottom of his heart, that is, the fiscal budget that Huang Junming told him. Indeed, he and his ministers could not do as Huang Junming meant. Huang Junming is hiding now and will not be dissatisfied with me as the emperor. This is easy to see, and he should be afraid of violating the imperial power again.

Li Shimin, who thought it through, had a smile on his lips. He had already understood Huang Junming's behavior of hiding his head and showing his tail. He thought about something different from the Tang Dynasty. He would inadvertently touch the imperial power. In order to avoid touching the imperial power again, he had to ignore himself. Although in Li Shimin's mind, there was no need for Huang Junming to do this, he still enjoyed it... Today is also this chapter. The cold has not yet recovered. I went to get a drought today, but there was still no chapter in the state of 5,000 words for everyone. I hope everyone will forgive me. After the cold is cured, I will try my best to update it as much as possible. (To be continued) rq
