As soon as Li Shimin stepped out of the school gate, he turned to Zhang A'nan with a gloomy face.

"Take me to the farm!"

"promise!"

When Li Shimin was choosing a farm for his beloved grandson, he specifically instructed that it must be located as close as possible to Xianyang City.

Li Shimin did this because he didn't want his beloved grandson to be overworked and exhausted.

Therefore, Li Jue's farm was very close to Xianyang, almost within sight of the county seat.

As soon as Li Shimin arrived outside the city, he saw rows of neat houses coming into view near the official road.

These houses are so beautiful, even more beautiful than many houses in Xianyang County.

"This is……"

"Your Majesty, this is the estate you bestowed upon your grandson!"

"ah?"

This time it was Li Shimin's turn to be surprised. He only asked the magistrate of Xianyang County to choose an estate closer to the county town for his eldest grandson, not to choose only wealthy households!

It should be noted that wealthy households are an important source of revenue for the Tang Dynasty's military forces and taxes. If all of these are given away as rewards, what will the Tang court eat?

"This magistrate of Xianyang really knows how to get things done; he's picked out such wealthy families for you..."

Zhang Anan chuckled upon hearing this.

"Master, this is not thanks to the magistrate of Xianyang, but truly to your beloved grandson Renyi, which has given Sanglin Village its current appearance, hahaha!"

"What?"

"You're saying this is all thanks to our beloved grandson?"

"yes!"

“This old servant has been here before, and it was desolate and dilapidated, completely unlike what you see here now!”

Li Shimin walked into Sanglin Village with some skepticism upon hearing this. Looking at the uniform blue brick and red tile houses, he felt as if he were in a dream.

"If all the people of the Tang Dynasty could live in houses like this, even if I died right now, I could die with a smile on my face, hahaha!"

Zhang Anan felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, thinking to himself that he shouldn't say such things.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!"

Li Shimin curled his lip in disdain upon hearing this.

"I'm supposed to be careful what I say?!"

"If every household in the Tang Dynasty could live in a house with blue bricks and tiles, then the Tang Dynasty's rule would be as solid as iron, and it would be no problem to pass it down for thousands of years!"

"If it can really be achieved, what does it matter if I die?"

"Walk!"

"Let's go into the village and take a look!"

"promise!"

Li Shimin led his entourage into Sanglin Village in a grand procession, frightening the village's elderly and children who hurriedly ran home, fearing that the bandits would kill and rob them.

"Why did they all run away when they saw me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anan looked awkwardly at Li Shimin in front of and behind him. With just a few tall and strong guards leading him, plus the armor they wore and the swords they carried, which commoner wouldn't be afraid?

Li Shimin quickly understood and immediately sent all the guards away, leading only Yuchi Fan and Zhang Anan into the village.

The three had only taken a few steps when they saw an old man dressed in tattered clothes walking towards them.

"Are you government officials or mountain bandits?"

"We're poor here, there's nothing to rob..."
