Chapter 1834 Give birth to some helpers for fighting
"Pfft!"
When Li Wang heard Li Shen's words, he and several others bowed down and kowtowed excitedly:
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Ji, for your grace. Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Ji, for your grace."
Li Shen didn't expect such a big reaction.
"Get up, following Prince Ji's Mansion will not make you suffer, the fiefs under Prince Ji's Mansion will be rent-free this year.
But you can't avoid being hired. Sometimes I'll ask you to help with some work. Don't forget that I still have 50,000 acres of fertile land here that I need you to help cultivate."
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ji. Helping the palace to farm is what we should do."
Li Wang was excited. They were also worried that there would be no harvest this year. What if King Ji wanted to rent his son?
In the past, the Queen Mother would waive the rent, but they had heard many legends about Prince Ji, and they didn't know whether Prince Ji would make things difficult for them.
Now it seems that the rumors outside are not true.
"As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I will never treat you unfairly, so work hard.
Within two years, I will let you live in a big house, a big house with green bricks and tiles.
You will also have meat to eat every day, and your children can study and bring honor to the family."
Li Shen gave a few simple words of encouragement.
"Your Highness, rest assured. Since we are already the fief of Prince Ji's Mansion, we will swear to be loyal to Prince Ji's Mansion until death and will never have second thoughts."
Li Wang expressed his position.
"That's good." Li Shen nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I would like to ask if the people in the farm can also work in the workshop of Prince Ji's mansion.
This year there was a severe drought, and although families had surplus food, they were running out of food, so everyone wanted to find a way out.”
A middle-aged man next to Li Wang asked cautiously.
All the fiefs of Prince Ji's mansion can work in the workshop, and they can earn more money than farming, at least three or four strings of cash a year.
Which of the villages around Chang'an City does not envy them?
“Well…” Li Shen thought about it and realized that their workshop was no longer recruiting people because there were already enough people.
It is really difficult to arrange for the sudden arrival of several thousand people.
Seeing Prince Ji hesitate, several people felt cold in their hearts. Could it be that they couldn't go to work?
“We’ll have to wait for some time before we can talk about this. Right now, the workshop in Prince Ji’s mansion is already fully staffed with craftsmen.
Besides, the journey from here to work at the imperial farm is too far.
I will discuss it and see if we can build two workshops here so that it will be more convenient for you to go to work.
But don't worry, if anyone needs craftsmen, I will tell them to choose your village first."
Li Shen said a few words to comfort them. Besides the fact that the workshop had no shortage of people, Li Shen also had to pay attention to the issue of confidentiality.
"Yes, I will follow the arrangements of His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
Although a few people were a little disappointed, what Prince Ji said was right. They were indeed too far away from the imperial farm.
It is not convenient to go to work every day.
Li Shen told Li Wang some more things about the farm, and finally, with several people seeing him off, he got on the carriage and left.
Li Shen did not enter the village this time. To be honest, he is no longer the Li Shen who had just traveled through time ten years ago.
The difference in his identity has caused him some psychological changes, and being able to maintain a kind heart shows that he has not forgotten his original intention.
Li Shen was not at ease with the people in Xinzhuangzi, and he didn't want to take any risks.
Just as Wang Xuance had told him at the beginning, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he, as the King Ji, cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Because there are tens of thousands of people who rely on him to support their families, and the number of people involved is at least hundreds of thousands.
He is like a locomotive, pulling countless carriages. If he stops, the carriages behind him will stop moving forward.
It might even go backwards, so not only is he pulling the cart, the carriage behind him is also pushing him forward.
The Ji Wang Mansion is now so big that it makes Li Shen a little scared.
"My lady, you must train Er well, because in the future the heavy burden of Prince Ji's Mansion will fall on him.
I don't ask for fame, wealth or status from him. I just want him to stay away from the court and be a free and easy person like me.
So don't tell him anything like serving the court.
I would rather he be a dandy boy in the future, as long as he can pass on my family line."
In the quiet carriage, Li Shen suddenly sighed to Lu Dingniang.
Lu Dingniang stared at her husband blankly, not understanding why he said such words.
She also hoped that her son would inherit the family business when he grew up and let the Ji Wang Mansion continue to prosper.
As good as his father.
The Ji Wang Mansion has such a huge family business, which was entirely created by Li Shen single-handedly. This is already a legend that will surely go down in history.
"My dear, don't you want Er to get involved in this trouble?" Lu Dingniang asked softly.
Li Shen nodded:
"That's right, my lady. In this world, what comes together for a long time must separate, and what separates for a long time must come together. Which dynasty can last for thousands of years?
In the end, none of the clans had a good ending.
Our Tang Dynasty is indeed powerful and majestic today, and it looks down on the world, but who knows when a tyrant ruler will appear.
I have created such a huge fortune, it will definitely be coveted by others, and there is no one in the world who is not greedy.
I am afraid that by then this overwhelming wealth will bring disaster to my Li family.
I don’t know whether Er can survive by then.
And being in the court is the easiest to be attacked. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger."
For some reason, Li Shen was a little sentimental today. He thought a lot, even thinking about what would happen after his death.
Logically, the Tang Dynasty lasted for 300 years, but wars broke out in the middle and late stages.
Even if you change some things, it won't last forever. Things may change, but people's hearts won't change.
Li Shen has always believed that people in the world are greedy and will never be satisfied with their current lives, calling it a yearning for a better life.
He was very worried that his descendants would suffer misfortune because of their wealth.
"Why do you have such thoughts today, my dear?" Lu Dingniang looked at Li Shen nervously.
She wondered if her husband was sick again, as he actually said such outrageous words.
If His Majesty hears this, he will be punished.
"Ah~~~~It's nothing, just some random thoughts. My lady, don't mind it. I just don't want my son to become an official in the future.
It's also good to be a leisurely king like me." Li Shen shook his head. He also felt that he was thinking too much.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Worrying about things that may not happen will only add to your troubles.
"Since you are so free, I will do as you say. You are a wise man, so what you say must make sense."
Lu Dingniang smiled and nodded. In her heart, Li Shen was a talented man. After being married for so long, she found that Li Shen was very good at avoiding danger and seeking good fortune.
"Haha, I don't have any wisdom, but I suddenly remembered something." Li Shen laughed.
"When?" Lu Dingniang was stunned.
"During the last trip to Cuiwei Palace, I found that Er'er and his friends were still a little weak and would inevitably be bullied by the royal family in the future.
As the saying goes, brothers fight together in war, and fathers and sons fight together in battle.
Madam, let's give them a few more brothers so that they will have helpers when they fight in the future and won't suffer losses, right?
Come on, let’s hurry up.”
"My dear, Er is still here."
"Alas~~, I shouldn't have brought him out. It's such a waste of time."
