Li Dan is now the self-appointed Guozi Priest Wine, as well as the bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion and Chongwen Pavilion, and the unattainable names of the three literati were sealed by him at will.

Even, in many cases, especially in the process of the steam engine's faltering creation, Li Dan asked for more blank letters of enclosure from the ministry, and then found Zhongshu and Li Hong, and asked them to stamp their own seals on the blank steam books, and then began to give many craftsmen in Taiyi City who developed steam engines with him.

As a result, the craftsmen who are now also scholars of Guozijian, Hongwenguan, and Chongwenguan have not a thousand but eight hundred in Taiyi City, and even this year it is on the rise.

But also because of the criticism and protests of Li Zhi and Wu Mei, as well as other Confucian sages, in the second half of this year, he slightly controlled the crazy conferral of King Yin, but even so, Li Dan still went his own way, continued to find his brother of the Tang Emperor, and tirelessly asked for a blank bachelor to die, always ready to give a seal to whoever pleases the eye.

But then again, even if Li Zhi and Wu Mei, including Guozijian, Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan and other others are opposed, Li Dan has a Tang Emperor behind him to support him, so another idle prince of the Tang Dynasty, Yin Wang Li Dan, just like the Seventh Emperor Brother Li Zhe, holds the power in his hands that others are extremely envious.

If Li Zhe is the leader of Datang's military logistics, then Li Dan is the leader of Datang's scientific and technological development, and the two brothers have in their hands a huge power that is somewhat inexplicable in the eyes of others, but very affordable, and should be feared by their imperial brother who is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so as to weaken the power in their hands.

But the fact is that it is completely the opposite, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty obviously did not want to weaken the power in their hands, but instead encouraged the two princes to continue to use the power in their hands as much as possible.

Whether it is Li Zhe or Li Dan, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty who holds a lot of power, but he doesn't care about other things, even if someone wants to find them to go through the back door and take some shortcuts in their careers, they will be said with a smile by the two: "Brother Huang has the final say in this matter, if I interfere, I'm afraid I will have the same fate as the one in Jiling City, so ...... You're not praising me, you're hurting me. ”

Even the governors and officials of various places will visit the two princes when they go to Chang'an every year to report, after all, the door of the prince's mansion is open to anyone, but the prince's mouth is never open to anyone, and he has never been a lobbyist for any official.

The chubby Li Dan has lost a lot of weight in the past two years, and after greeting each other to the two imperial sisters-in-law who passed by him, Li Dan stepped into the imperial study of the Zichen Palace.

"I saw Lao Qi at the door just now, what is he looking for you? Brother Huang, let me tell you, don't listen to him, the hot air balloon will not meet the requirements he wants for a while, and it is impossible for him to transport such heavy loads, grain, grass and other things. Li Dan sat down opposite Li Hong, and without waiting for Li Hong to speak, he took the lead in speaking, as if he was afraid that Li Hong would open his mouth and let him speed up the progress.

"So what's the matter with you coming here this time? Two days ago, my father and mother just reprimanded you for the steam engine, why did you come to me again? Li Hong crutched his chin and looked at Li Dan, who picked up the teacup that the palace maid put in his hand and studied it carefully.

"Do you use porcelain like this in your palace now? It's too mediocre, isn't it, it won't be to fool me out of precautions, right? Li Dan ignored Li Hong's question, but asked the delicate teacup.

"Don't think about it, I'm about to cry when I'm a prisoner lately, and the speed of their system can't keep up with the speed of your fall, can't you not want me? You can find your own prisoner, and let them do whatever you want. Li Hong raised his head and twisted his neck, since today's court meeting was over, he was sitting in the study of Zichen Palace, and he hadn't moved a single step, there were people coming and going, and there was an endless stream of people asking to see him.

"That's not good, I will only be responsible for making anything for the imperial brother, I am a prince with Lao Qi, although we are royal relatives, but directly use the things in the palace, some of them are overstepping." Li Dan said solemnly.

"I've said hello to the general as a supervisor 800 times, no problem, I won't pursue you, who will dare to pursue you?"

"When my father and mother pursued me, I didn't see you stand out for me even once, so I still pick from you." Li Dan stood up, staring straight at a piece of porcelain in the bookcase behind him, as if Bai Qi had seen his prey, and his eyes were about to glow.

Li Hong didn't need to look at it to know that this guy had taken a fancy to the porcelain in the bookcase behind him, but fortunately, he had already asked Pei Wanying and Chen Qinghan, who had just left, to hide the porcelain that was more precious than the bookcase.

"So what the hell are you doing here? You know that I haven't left this study since this morning? Li Hong looked at Li Dan's fat back and said.

"You are the emperor of my Tang Dynasty, and naturally there are a lot of government affairs to deal with every day, and it is normal that you haven't left the imperial study for most of the day." Li Dan picked up the porcelain pot very "politely", looked at it carefully and said: "Oh, by the way, I came here this time because of the steam engine two days ago, and now it seems that I was too anxious, and some technical difficulties have not been overcome, so I thought about solving them while running, but I asked you to carry the black pot for me in front of my father and mother." So this time, I came to ask you for money, and I have already spent all my budget this year. ”

"What are you looking for me, haven't you already greeted the household? Even if the household department doesn't give it to you, Bai Chun will give it to you, right? "Li Hong is a little inexplicable, this little thing is also worth your personal visit to me? I don't want to come to me looking for fine porcelain.

"This pot is good, I accidentally dropped it last time, I took this away, I don't want those cups, anyway, I drink tea to the spout. The household department has no money, this year's budget they made has increased by fifty percent compared to last year, but I spent it in less than half a year, Miss Bai is embarrassed to ask for it now, she is estimated to be short of money now, and the mess in Taiyi City's medicinal diet is cleaned up, and it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money, so I can only ask you to help me solve it. Compared with other things, Li Dan asked for silver in front of Li Hong, which seemed more natural than other things, as if the silver he wanted in his mouth was just a temporary existence of Li Hong, and he was just coming to take away his part of the silver now.

"You ask me for money, where can I get you money? If I don't have any money, can I still have money? Besides, now the old couple in Xingqing Palace, now I don't know what to build to praise their great achievements of the Hall of Merit, plan to put their own statues in for worship after a hundred years, you see, this is yesterday sent to me to send a piece of music, open the mouth is 10 million taels, I am the emperor, not the royal bank, where can I get so much money for you? Li Hong said depressedly with his hands spread out.

As the so-called family doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and now that he has really become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he found that his father was in charge of the government in his era, and he was in charge of the government after he became the emperor, and there were two completely different things.

Now he is probably the poorest emperor since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, even if it was the first emperor Taizong, even if the Tang Dynasty had just established the country at that time, and everything was waiting to be rebuilt, but I am afraid that he would be richer than himself, right?

Otherwise, how did the Daming Palace, where I live now, come from? This was originally built by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, but it was later stopped for some reasons, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years.

It wasn't until his wealthy Dragon Father ascended the throne and Taiyi City really started to make money that he was truly perfected by himself.

Now what kind of palace is going to be built, he feels that Xingqing Palace is not enough for him, so he has to build another one, but he doesn't want to think about how much money he left in the treasury for his son!

Of course, although there is a lot of money in the abundant treasury, in the past five years, he has been like a money-spending machine, especially Li Dan and Li Zhe, the two princes who helped him spend money, as well as the foundation of the six departments to build bridges and pave roads for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, including the Datang Water Division, the Central Army, and the equipment of the four major corps, so that he himself took out the treasury at once, and there was no silver left.

Now Li Dan has come to ask for silver again, and Father Long has to build a palace, this is the rhythm of forcing himself to death, and if it goes on like this, the empty treasury will definitely not be able to hide from Father Long and Mother Long, and once they know about it, they will be reprimanded by others for pointing their noses and being reprimanded as a loser.

"Then you don't have any money? You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it stands to reason that you should have a lot of money. Li Dan was shocked, the imperial brother never told lies in this matter, and he still asked for silver, but the imperial brother never shirked it.

Every time I ask for money, I want to give myself more, so that I can develop some results for the steam engine in the past five years, but now at this critical moment, there is no money? So what do you do with yourself?

Two days ago, the two brothers proudly invited their father and mother to the first train station in Chang'an City, so that Father Long and Mother Long had a good look, this in the mouth of the royal brother, not only can change the Tang Dynasty, but even change the whole world steam engine, in front of the father and the queen mother, let the father and mother see that after the son becomes the emperor, he will not be worse than Lao Tzu.

But who knew that in the end, he dragged his feet here, and directly sent the imperial brother to the cusp, thinking of Li Dan here, he suddenly felt as if he had noticed Li Hong's secret, so he asked: "Imperial brother, you were in a hurry to let your father and mother watch the train two days ago, wouldn't it be to cover up the fact that you spent all the treasury?" Do you think that once the father and mother know that our Datang treasury is out of money, you plan to use this steam engine to deal with the questions of the father and the queen mother? ”

"But how did I think that you didn't succeed, you made me miserable, you know? Do you think I'm willing to ask Li Zhe to stop experimenting with hot air balloons, it's not that I really can't come up with the money now. ”

"That'...... So what to do? If I stop here, what will you do to deal with my father and mother? The fact that the treasury has no money, I'm afraid that my father and mother will soon know about it, right? ”

"So I'm looking for Bai Chun, but I can't do it, so I borrow money from the Royal Bank that the Queen Mother still controls, and the bank controlled by Bai Chun." Li Hong had a headache, he deserved to be the emperor and had to borrow money!
