Li Shimin nodded heavily upon hearing this.

"You're right, that son of a bitch just has too much money to burn!"

"Send someone back to him immediately, and see how I deal with him!"

"Okay!"

"However, sir, please don't hit our lord. Although our lord has a bit of a temper, he is a really good person. I have lived most of my life and have never met such a kind-hearted person!"

"Just say a few words to him and tell him to save money. We farmers are already very grateful to him and don't want him to spend any more of his money on us..."

"I understand, you should go now!"

"well!"

After Hu Delu left, Li Shimin led a few people directly to Li Jue's courtyard.

"Xu Hui, have you remembered what I told you when I came here?"

"Your Majesty... no, no, Master, this servant has remembered everything and will pretend not to see or hear anything!"

"Um!"

Seeing Xu Hui's words, Li Shimin led the group into the courtyard.

The courtyard hasn't changed much, except for a small vegetable garden in the open space, where some common vegetables like chives, scallions, garlic, and celery are planted.

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded secretly, a look of approval on his face.

"Agriculture is the foundation of a nation. I never imagined that this child, at such a young age, would understand this principle."

"I just don't know if he's paying attention to his studies. If he dares to slack off, I'm going to give him a good beating today!"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately walked quickly to the study, picked up a stack of homework from the desk, and carefully checked it.

However, you don't know until you check, and once you do, you'll be furious.

This rebellious grandson, aside from diligently copying the Analects a few times in the first few days, didn't write a single word after that.

As for the task I had instructed him to write five hundred large characters every day, he completely forgot about it.

Upon seeing this, Li Shimin immediately began to pant heavily, thinking to himself that this child had better put his completed homework somewhere else, otherwise he would definitely teach him a lesson today!

"Your Majesty, why have you come out?"

"Hmph!"

"I've come out to find a suitable ally!"

"What?"

"I'm going to hit someone!"

"Go and find me a thick willow branch!"

"promise!"

Before long, Li Jue and Yuchi Fan returned together.

However, their expressions were completely different; one was elated, while the other looked serious.

"Uncle Li, your grandson has missed you so much!"

Li Jue rushed into the courtyard, pounced on Old Li as soon as he saw him, and swung around Old Li's neck.

Li Shimin was very pleased to see Li Jue so close to him. He immediately picked him up and spun him around in the courtyard twice before gently putting him down on the ground.

"I heard you went to dig a ditch?"

"yes!"

"The digging will be finished soon. Once that annoying guy leaves, our village will be able to divert river water within a day!"

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat when he heard "that annoying fellow".

Could the person this child is talking about who he hates be me?

"Tell me, who is that annoying guy?"

"Nobody, it's just...that guy..."
