Chapter 284: Receiving Envoys

However, Chen Feng is not completely unexplained, but those explanations seem to be no different from no explanations, Your Majesty should have something to announce when he is over, and what is said that under the governance of all the adults, Chang'an City is prosperous and tight, and the entire Tang Dynasty is thriving, and His Majesty likes it very much. What about other than that? It seems to say something, but it seems like nothing has been said!

However, His Majesty was already sitting on the dragon chair, and even if everyone still had doubts in their hearts, they couldn't continue to chase Chen Feng and ask. And Chen Feng knelt on the side and lowered his head, quite polite, so that people couldn't find anything wrong.

As Chen Feng said, Li Shimin sat at the top and expressed his deep appreciation for the development of Chang'an City and Datang in recent times, especially the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry has been putting all its efforts on the construction of water conservancy, and from last summer to now, in less than a year, among the 24 prefectures and counties that have been built, great results have been shown, and among the 24 prefectures and counties, 16 prefectures and counties have been flooded, and finally because of the water conservancy situation, they have been completely spared, and for a time the people's praise for the imperial court has reached the highest point.

In some other states and counties where the workers of the Ministry of Industry have not yet arrived, the people have also made preparations, and even the county governors of some states and counties have asked for orders from above, asking some adults who are proficient in this way to go and guide them, and the necessary manpower will be solved by each state and county itself. In this regard, Li Shimin once asked Chen Feng's opinion, and Chen Feng naturally agreed, but there was a requirement, that is, the materials must be unified and not shoddy.

Regarding Chen Feng's request, Li Shimin had already expected that as an emperor, of course, he hoped that his country could prosper, and naturally he did not want the officials under his rule to be corrupt and bribe-taking, exploiting the people, and this time the supervision was indeed amazing. If the stone used is not up to standard, it must be taken back for reprocessing, and no mistakes are allowed. If you don't use any of the silver taels on it, you have to be careful of the head on your neck.

In such a situation, of course Chen Feng is at ease, and Li Shimin is also at ease. In addition, they will hire some ordinary people, so that those people can also rely on and have money to earn, so they are naturally more satisfied with the rule of the imperial court.

As for the household department, the amount of commercial taxes paid has more than tripled compared to the previous period due to the recent boom in commerce, and the state treasury that was initially expected to be empty due to large-scale water conservancy has not only not appeared, but has become much fuller. In this regard, not only the officials of the household department were surprised and pleased, but His Majesty was naturally even more pleased today.

After all, the household is a money bag, but this money bag is still nested in Li Shimin's hands, and his money bag is full, of course he will not pull his face all day long, so because of this series of events, Li Shimin's mood has been much better recently, and he has spoken a lot better than usual.

In the face of Li Shimin's praise, Dai Zhou and Duan Lun naturally did not dare to take credit, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these were originally Chen Feng's proposals, so the two of them have contributed a lot to the development of Datang to this stage.

The first is Li Shimin, if Li Shimin did not fully support Chen Feng at the beginning, Chen Feng would not be able to set off a big storm with the strength of one person, it was Li Shimin who relied on Chen Feng's empty words to rely on Chen Feng's body, so that he dared to let go of his fists and feet, and never interfered.

The second is Chen Feng, all these opinions were put forward by Chen Feng, and it was Chen Feng who persuaded everyone to implement these things, the most important point is that if there is no Datang Qianzhuang, business will not develop at all, even if those people are bold, but they have no courage but no resource base, it is in vain.

Although it is a Datang Village, everyone knows that all the expenses for the construction of Datang Village are supported by Chen Feng. Dai Zhou knows best that since the preparation of Datang Bank, the household department has not only not taken a penny, but also borrowed a lot of money from Datang Bank, which has solved the urgent need.

Under such circumstances, where do they dare to take credit. Blame all the credit on Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's current situation is even more unsuitable for such a grand favor, so he also shirked it, "The two adults praised it falsely, Fang Zhikong has the ability to talk on paper, if there are no two adults to put it into practice, Fang Zhi knows that everything he gets is vain, so the two adults are the biggest heroes." ”

"Okay, don't compliment each other either." In the end, Li Shimin, who was still sitting at the top, opened his mouth to rescue Chen Feng, "You are all heroes of my Datang!" "In a word, it is a certainty.

Then he took out a letter of sealing with a happy face, and said that the envoys of various countries wanted to come to the Tang Dynasty to study and discuss with everyone.

The final result was a bit unexpected by Chen Feng, this job of receiving envoys was pushed to him by everyone! But he didn't want to!

Chen Feng smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, it is the duty of Weichen to be able to share your Majesty's worries, but Weichen has just recovered from a serious illness, and his body is not yet able to support such hard work, if he is strong, I am afraid that it will backfire." Chen Feng came out of the line and bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't expect that this person was unwilling to do this job, I'm afraid not only Li Shimin didn't expect it, but others didn't expect it either.

Why?

Of course, it's because this job seems easy, but in fact it's a thankless job, and the envoys are all from other countries.

If you are friendly with those people because of this, it will inevitably be taken out to make a fuss at some sensitive moments, and if you are indifferent to it, it will make people feel that Chen Feng does not take the emperor's order in his eyes, and if it provokes the dissatisfaction of the envoys of other countries, it may also cause disputes between countries.

What Chen Feng said was not unreasonable, and the result of Li Shimin's discussion with Chen Feng yesterday was that the Fusang Kingdom was handed over to Chen Feng for reception, and as for the envoys of other countries, he did not say it explicitly.

"And, Your Majesty, if you let the envoys of various countries communicate more, I am afraid that under the vertical and horizontal alliance, it will be unfavorable to my Datang." This sentence is to the point, even if Datang is strong, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, if those small countries take advantage of this opportunity to unite, Datang will be attacked from all sides, and I am afraid that it will not be able to deal with it well, so Chen Feng's suggestion, everyone has to consider it.
