However, this little child in front of me said that the Tang Dynasty was too poor and the people were too miserable...
This deeply hurt Li Shimin, who felt that his eighteen years of diligent governance had been in vain!
"Explain yourself clearly: how is the Tang Dynasty poor? How are the people suffering?"
"What, did I say something wrong?"
"The Tang Dynasty doesn't even have a single main road running through the entire territory. Isn't that poor? The people can't even afford meat. Isn't that suffering?"
In fact, Li Jue's words were a bit excessive. After all, in the entire feudal dynasty, there were not many places where people could have enough to eat, let alone meat.
As for building a highway that runs through the entire territory...
Even Qin Shi Huang, who unified the six kingdoms, only built a highway a few hundred miles long.
Relatively speaking, Li Shimin's reign of Zhenguan, placed in the long river of two thousand years of history, can definitely be called a model of a prosperous era.
However, who made him a victim of Li Shimin's reign during the Zhenguan era?
If Li Shimin hadn't acted out of madness and insisted on using the Prince of Wei to belittle Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian wouldn't have rebelled.
If Li Chengqian hadn't rebelled, I would have been the second in line to the throne of the Tang Dynasty!
Now he's not only unable to inherit the Tang Dynasty, but he also has to hide his identity and sell things on the street. It would be a miracle if he had a good impression of the Tang Dynasty!
Li Shimin felt extremely wronged when he heard this. Hasn't this been how ordinary people have always lived? Why is it that when it comes to him, it's considered suffering?
"Is not building roads considered poor?"
Is not being able to afford meat considered a hardship?
"Throughout history, which dynasty's common people could afford to eat meat freely? Was it the Qin Dynasty, or the Han, Jin, or Sui Dynasties?"
Li Jue rolled his eyes dramatically upon hearing this.
"Uncle, if you insist on comparing us to those dynasties to see who's worse, then we really have nothing to talk about..."
"Comparing who's worse?"
Li Shimin was furious when he heard this. How could he have been considered inferior?
They were comparing themselves to unified dynasties!
Li Shimin grew angrier the more he thought about it. He slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang," then turned and left.
Seeing this, Zhang Anan quickly took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
"Please forgive me, young master, my master just has a short temper..."
"Is your master a government official?"
Zhang Anan was taken aback when he heard this, and then nodded hurriedly.
"Young master, you guessed correctly. My master does indeed have some influence in the court."
What grade?
"My master has no taste..."
After answering, Zhang Anan silently added a comment in his mind.
Although my master has no class, all the official positions, regardless of rank, were bestowed by him, hehehe...
Upon hearing that the man lacked class, Li Jue was completely relieved.
Because of his status as a prince before he transmigrated, no one in the court below the third rank was even qualified to see him!
"Your owner really has no taste..."
