"But your mother died at the right time, she got a whole string of cash for funeral expenses. If she had died in an ordinary year, where would she have gotten that money!"
Upon hearing this, the magistrate became smug once again.
"It wasn't just the funeral expenses; even the coffin was provided by the imperial court!"
"Go ask around the entire Tang Dynasty, how many common people can afford the coffins provided by the imperial court? Hahaha!"
While Fang Zheng was gloating over his own gain, Li Er gradually understood the actions Chang'an had taken these past few days.
It turns out that my unfilial grandson has done so much for this city without a word!
Li Er visited several more markets and wards, and because he came from Xianyang, many markets and wards opened their doors to him.
After a day of wandering around, Li Er finally realized one thing: the Tang Dynasty would be the same whether he was there or not!
"Return to Taiji Palace!"
"promise!"
Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace.
After more than ten days of hard work, Li Jue finally brought the epidemic in Chang'an under control and reduced the number of deaths to less than a thousand.
However, working non-stop for more than ten days also took a toll on him, and he sometimes fell asleep while reviewing memorials.
When Li Shimin sneaked into Ganlu Hall, he caught Li Jue sleeping on the table, which made him both angry and heartbroken.
When Li Jing and the others saw Li Shimin suddenly return to Taiji Palace, they hurriedly ran over to pay their respects.
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"
"No need for formalities!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin frowned as he looked at the messy Ganlu Palace and said with some displeasure.
"Have you been working here all this time?"
"yes!"
"Your Majesty may not know this, but since we moved here, our efficiency has increased several times over..."
"oh?"
Tell me more!
"For example, if there is a shortage of food or weapons at the border, I only need to tell the official in charge of the Ministry of Revenue next door, and they will immediately issue a document and pass it on."
"Furthermore, if any emergencies occur in the city, the appropriate officials can be found in the Ganlu Hall to handle them."
"oh!"
Although Fang Xuanling's explanation was very detailed, Li Shimin was still unhappy.
After all, this is his house, where he sleeps and works. Now it's been divided into small cubicles, making it look like a vegetable market.
"This grandson sleeps all day long?"
When Li Jing saw that His Majesty was looking at the eldest grandson, he immediately jumped out to explain.
"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson is exhausted and hasn't had a proper night's sleep in over ten days."
"You won't believe me, just look!"
"What are you looking at?"
Li Jing smiled mischievously and then called out.
"The border is in dire need of attention!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue, who was sleeping on the table, jumped up with a thud, knocking over the inkstone in his frantic thrashing.
"where!"
"Where is the emergency coming from now?"
