After reprimanding Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin personally wrote an imperial edict and ordered it to be delivered to Li Jue by fast horse.
Upon receiving the imperial edict handwritten by Li Shimin, Li Jue immediately led the people back to Qunxianfang to evict the residents.
However, such things have never been easy since ancient times.
In addition, the presence of many officials from the Six Ministries and their families in Qunxianfang made the relocation work even more difficult.
However, this was no problem for Li Jue. He simply ordered his men to cut off the water supply, which forced the group of people to obediently vacate their houses.
As for the residents who threw tantrums, the local ruffians from Qunxianfang stepped in. Some threw excrement, others smashed windows, and they used every trick in the book to finally drive the holdouts away within three days.
After dealing with the group, Li Jue immediately led the people of Qunxianfang to clean the streets and repair their houses. He then personally oversaw the allocation of resettlement housing, ensuring that all the residents of Qunxianfang could move into their long-awaited new homes.
To prevent any unforeseen complications, Li Jue summoned Su Dingfang, the magistrate of Wannian County, and had him process the house deeds for them on the spot, thus sealing the deal completely.
He then registered all the remaining properties on the property deeds, writing "Li Er" as the owner.
After doing all this, Li Jue did not rush to sell it to the public. Instead, he first invited his senior brother Sun Simiao to come over and have Sun Simiao lead a group of disciples to provide free medical consultations at Qunxianfang for three days.
Based on this, Li Jue then had Li Chunfeng invite a group of feng shui masters to give their opinions on the houses in Qunxianfang.
Because they paid to leave reviews, they only said good things.
It wasn't until the tenth day that Li Jue officially launched the sale to the public. In just one day, he sold 300 sets, generating 600,000 guan in revenue!
Li Shimin looked at the boxes of copper coins and couldn't stop smiling.
His own grandson only sold a mere three hundred sets, yet he earned six hundred thousand strings of cash. If he were to sell all two thousand sets, wouldn't that be four million strings of cash?
Behind a row of large boxes was Li Jue, who looked exhausted.
Li Jue saw Li Shimin standing guard at the palace gate and gave him a perfunctory greeting.
"Hello, Grandpa..."
"Grandson, is all this money for me?"
Li Jue raised his head in displeasure upon hearing this.
“Grandpa, building a house costs money, and buying land costs money. You have to leave me some capital!”
"Alright, alright, how much does Grandson plan to keep?"
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Fifty is enough?"
"Should we leave some more?"
Li Shimin is not greedy at all now. To be honest, let alone four million strings of cash, even if you gave him the six hundred thousand strings of cash right in front of him, he would be laughing in his dreams.
After all, compared to the 370,000 from the Ministry of Revenue, he felt more at ease and more entitled to receive this 600,000.
"Need not!"
"Grandpa, fighting the Koreans is a big deal. I can't help with anything else, but if I can provide some military pay for the army, that's a contribution to the country!"
Upon hearing these words, and looking at Li Jue, who had lost a lot of weight, Li Shimin felt a lump in his throat.
Although Li Jue didn't utter a single complaint, his Hundred Cavalry followed him around all day and had long since recorded Li Jue's daily schedule.
Ever since this grandson entered Qunxianfang, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. He spends every day resolving various disputes and problems.
"Grandson, you've suffered so much..."
"bitter?"
"Grandpa, my suffering is nothing compared to the people of Qunxianfang who almost went homeless. I am already very lucky!"
"I just hope that in the future, Ah Weng won't make decisions on a whim, because that can easily lead to big problems!"
"Take this time for example, the officials below don't even need to embezzle; they can squander the imperial court's wealth using only normal means!"
Li Shimin, like a primary school student, not only dared not talk back when he heard Li Jue's scolding, but also obediently nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"I will never trust them again. From now on, I will only trust you!"
"Are you tired? Shall I carry you back to the Lizheng Hall?"
"Grandpa, I'm quite heavy, are you sure you can carry me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's competitive spirit was immediately aroused.
"You little brat, how dare you look down on your grandfather!"
"Come on, climb onto Grandpa's back, and Grandpa will carry you home!"
Li Jue wasn't going to tolerate Li Er, so he immediately jumped onto Li Er's back, making Li Er cry out "Ouch!" from the weight.
Although Li Shimin was caught off guard by Li Jue's weight, he gritted his teeth, kicked his legs hard to get up, and then carried Li Jue back to the Lizheng Hall.
Just as he was putting Li Jue down, he suddenly heard Li Jue snoring, which made him feel heartache again for a long time.
Li Shimin gently placed Li Jue on the bed, then helped him remove his clothes, shoes, and socks. He then ordered someone to bring hot water and personally wiped the dust off Li Jue's face.
After doing all this, Li Shimin did not leave immediately, but sat quietly to the side, chuckling foolishly at his handsome grandson.
Si Zi sneaked in quietly and saw his father grinning foolishly at his nephew. He immediately went up mischievously and covered Li Shimin's eyes.
Guess who I am!
I bet you're a mischievous monkey!
"You guessed wrong, hahaha!"
"Shh... Keep your voice down... Your nephew just fell asleep, don't wake him!"
"oh!"
"Father, when are you going back to rest?"
"I'll go back after I've checked on the child a little longer..."
"Father, Li Jue sold 600,000 strings of cash today!"
"I know..."
"Father, I hear there will be even more people buying houses tomorrow!"
"hehe!"
"Father, my nephew said today that after he finishes this, many people will impeach him!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin frowned and asked with displeasure.
"Why?"
"My nephew said that since he cut off someone's source of income, that person will definitely not let him off the hook!"
"oh……"
"It's alright, I'm not dead yet!"
When Si Zi heard his father say this, he knew that the matter was settled, so he stopped bothering his father and went straight back to his room.
Li Shimin sat for a while longer before returning to his own palace.
Li Shimin did not rest after returning to his palace, but instead ordered someone to summon Fang Xuanling.
"Minister Fang, you'll have to speak up more at tomorrow's court assembly!"
"ah?"
"Ah... Your humble servant understands!"
Fang Xuanling was a wise and experienced man, and having followed Li Shimin for decades, the tacit understanding between the emperor and his minister was extremely deep. He immediately understood Li Shimin's intention.
"Your humble servant will certainly give his full support to the eldest grandson!"
"However, this matter seems to involve Changsun Wuji. I wonder what Your Majesty's plan is!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's face immediately darkened. He had already given Changsun Wuji several chances, but this guy seemed to ignore them completely!
"If Changsun Wuji causes trouble again tomorrow, I will exile him to Lingnan as governor!"
"this……"
Although Fang Xuanling wished he could kill Changsun Wuji, he was still a little worried when he heard that His Majesty wanted to exile Changsun Wuji to Lingnan.
"Your Majesty, isn't this too heavy? How about we send him to Goguryeo to prepare for the next battle?"
Li Shimin nodded upon hearing this.
"Alright!"
"To prevent him from causing trouble in the capital!"
