Chapter 59: The King Is About to Fire
The court meeting was still so boring, either singing praises or needing help, Li Yuanjing, who listened, was drowsy.
It was still the same old rule, and when the court meeting was about to end, Du Ruhui stood up.
Anyway, Li Shimin will not take the initiative to mention this kind of matter, and it must be raised by the minister, and then the emperor can pretend to make a decision.
"Your Majesty, recently the craftsman Chen Miao discovered a special material, so that it can build a city without fear of fire and water, indestructible, yesterday the minister and several other people personally inspected it, and found that there is indeed such a thing, and use this thing to build a city, the speed is several times faster than the ordinary way, this thing can also be regarded as a major weapon of the country, the minister implores His Majesty to issue an order, the court is responsible for this thing, and reward the craftsman Chen Miao!" Du Ruyan reported unobtrusively.
The ministers in the palace discussed one after another, is there such an artifact in this world?
It's not that I doubt Du Ruhui's words, since Du Ruhui is such a strict person has mentioned it, and he has said that he has personally tested it, it must be true.
It's just that they can't figure out what it is that can be so powerful.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a different opinion!" Wei Zheng thought about it and stood up directly.
Everyone set their eyes on Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng did not flinch at all.
"Whether it is farming or building, there is a certain period, shorter than this period, the quality is difficult to guarantee, the minister is worried that Du Shangshu sees just an illusion, if the court spends a lot of money, it turns out that it is far lower than expected, what should be done? I beg your majesty to think twice! ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, the household department is responsible for this matter with no extra money and food, but the minister thinks that he can choose a few powerful ones to cooperate, and the court will make the formula, and the other party will be responsible for manufacturing, and the profits will be halved, one will not need to take the risk, and the other will have new income for the court." Han Zhongliang, the head of the household, slowly stood up.
"King Zhao! What do you think? Li Shimin unhurriedly set his eyes on Li Yuanjing.
The cement court must be monopolized, and Li Shimin has seen its importance.
Let Du Ruhui and others argue, it's not that they can't win, but the time it takes will not be short.
At this time, Li Shimin finally realized the benefits of having Li Yuanjing in the court, and when he didn't want to trouble and wanted to solve it quickly, he sent Li Yuanjing out.
Anyway, when he was young, he dared to use any kind of routine, and often got some unexpected results.
In addition, Li Shimin had already understood Li Yuanjing's careful thinking, and while looking at Li Yuanjing, he seemed to be warning him, don't just think about hiding behind to reap the benefits, it's time for you to contribute!
"This king wants to ask Han Shangshu, what is there in this world is not risky?" Li Yuanjing glanced at Li Shimin and turned to look at Han Zhongliang.
A bad old man, it may not be polite to say this, but Li Yuanjing just wants to say so.
This old man still has the credit, and Han Zhongliang participated in the revision of "Kaihuang Law", but during his tenure as the head of the household department, he actually did not have any outstanding performance.
Most of the money saved comes from the dismissal of officials and the reduction of expenditure in various aspects.
The household department only enjoyed the dividends brought by the achievements made by the officials, which made the money in their hands gradually increase.
"The imperial court is at a time when it is using money, and there has never been a precedent for the imperial court to start a business, and His Royal Highness is doing this to destroy the ancestral system." Han Zhongliang skillfully avoided Li Yuanjing's question.
"Money is not saved, but earned, if you don't want to take risks, you should never think about when you will get rich, this is like war, if the court is afraid of defeat and dare not fight, then why recruit so many soldiers? The knives and guns are returned to the warehouse, the horses are put in Nanshan, and the entire Tang Dynasty does not need a single soldier, so that the imperial court can save a lot of money, but is this the solution to the problem? Li Yuanjing stared at Han Zhongliang deadly, and there was no psychological burden when the map cannon was fired.
"This king really can't think of any reason for Han Shangshu to stand here, after all, the risk is too great, for example, this hall may collapse, and then no one in the entire hall will be injured, only Han Shangshu will be injured! For example, Han Shangshu broke his foot when he went out, was frightened when he sat in the carriage, choked on saliva when he came home, and choked on eating food, these are all possible, Han Shangshu said that the risk is not big? Li Yuanjing kept persecuting Han Zhongliang in a scoundrel way.
What is still unscholarly, I don't care about it anymore, it is to scare you, and you have no place to shame.
Except for those henchmen around Li Shimin, more than 90% of the other ministers are members of the family, or they have some relationship with the family.
This is also the difficulty of overthrowing the family, which is also why we should insist on the imperial examination, only by opening the door and letting more people come up, can we gradually squeeze the living space of the family.
In fact, these ministers were not from the family from the beginning, but in this life, if they want to keep moving forward, they need to learn to constantly compromise, and over time, these people will be co-opted by the family.
Some will choose to say no when doing things with a clear conscience, and some will be completely shameless, in order to gain the support of the family, they can even choose to pass without looking.
Who are the powerful ones that Han Zhongliang said?
Who else could there be but the Maison?
Today it can be cement, tomorrow it will be steel?
You must know that from the very beginning, Du Ruhui's definition of cement is a militaristic heavy weapon, which is at the same level as steel, even so, Han Zhongliang still wants to distribute cement to the family, which is known as avoiding risks and simply sharing dividends.
"You're a fallacy!" Han Zhongliang angrily pointed at Li Yuanjing and shouted, but he was helpless.
"Throttling is not the only one, open source is the core, since the court is unwilling to take risks, then this matter will be handed over to the king, the king is responsible for paying for people, the court does not have to do anything, when the time comes, we will be fifty-five, as long as the court policy support is in place, within three years, the king can let the court get at least one million dividends, ten years later, at least five million per year, how?" Li Yuanjing turned his head to look at Li Shimin.
Cement can not only make money, but also make a lot of money, a bag costs only ten dollars, and when the equipment is updated in the later stage, the cost will be lower.
This price is also used by ordinary people, can't afford to build a concrete house, can't you build a brick house? With a little saving, you can build three houses in ten or so runs, and the price is about the same as that made of rammed earth.
"Qian Zhen came out by himself, and King Zhao was responsible for this matter, so I did it!" Li Shimin said with a final word.
It doesn't matter if the household department doesn't want to do it, anyway, the money used is not much, Li Shimin is not a poor egg, he can take out the money himself, and more importantly, this income will not be included in the national treasury in the future.
As for business and the like, if it doesn't exist, it's good to change the way, which is called official production, quality assurance.
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for Li Yuanjing's response, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at him and found that Li Yuanjing was flattering at him.
The embarrassed Li Shimin only then remembered that he had just settled the matter, and he hadn't given Chen Miao's reward yet.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin said: "Craftsman Chen Miao has meritorious service to the country, and he has sealed the Xicheng County of the founding country!" ”
