Li Shimin did not hesitate and agreed to the conditions offered by Li Su to the businessman. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Some of the ministers disagreed with the idea of granting political status to merchants. However, the imperial court was so short of money that they didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Gao Jingming, the secretary of the household department, greatly admired the idea of national bonds. He said: "Your Majesty, the treasury bonds can be issued nationwide, and Datang's funds can be ensured to be sufficient." The ideas of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Liang are imaginative and effective, and the ministers are very respectful. Congratulations to the Emperor. ”

Li Shimin finally couldn't help but walk down. He came to the prince and said, "Prince, this is a good job, and I will give you a great reward." ”

Then, he walked up to Li Su and raised his hand. As soon as Li Su closed his eyes, he waited for the dragon claw to give him a slap. However, when Li Shimin's hand fell on his head, he only rubbed it lightly on his head. "Good boy. Then he walked back to the dragon chair.

Tang Taizong said: "Very good, after this crisis, I have seen the loyalty of all my ministers to safeguard the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and I have also seen that my sons have gradually grown up and can share the worries of the imperial court." I am very relieved. The problem of funding was solved, and the officials performed their duties and handled disaster relief and other matters. The crown prince and the king of Liang stayed, and the rest of the people waited for the dynasty to disperse. ”

Li Ke, the king of Shu, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, projected jealous eyes at the backs of the crown prince Li Chengqian and Li Su.

Tai Chi Hall Li Shimin's study.

Li Shimin said: "Chengqian, Su'er, very good, you have done a good job in the last few things, and my father is very happy."

You have done a very good job in the grain test base, the four-wheeled carriage, and the national debt, and you are willing to use your brains to do things, which shows that you have gradually grown up and matured. ”

"Thank you for your father's compliment." Li Chengqian said: "These things are all the ideas of the sixth brother, and the sons only helped him complete them. "Li Chengqian is very good at this, and he is not greedy for merit.

Li Su hurriedly said: "Father, the main thing is that the prince's brother is leading well, and the son's minister only came up with a little idea under his guidance, and the matter is still done with the support of the prince's brother." ”

"Hmm", Li Shimin looked at his two sons who were courteous and courteous, and he was in a very good mood, thinking that his education was very successful, and the sons he taught were very good, and his brothers were harmonious and friendly.

He asked, "You have done a great job this time, what reward do you want?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "Father, it is the duty of the sons and daughters to share the worries of the court, so don't want the reward, if you really want to reward the sons, let the sons drop out of school and come out to do things." ”

Saying this, he lowered his head uneasily, not daring to look at Li Shimin's eyes. His heart was tense, ready to withstand his wrath.

"Huh?" Li Shimin snorted.

Li Chengqian's heart tightened for a while, and he closed his eyes, his ears ready to bear the angry reprimand.

"Hmm", Li Shimin snorted again.

"Well, what do you mean?" Li Chengqian felt Li Shimin's gaze scanning him, that gaze was like a flame, roasting himself, he began to sweat, and then, his legs began to tremble.

After a long time, Li Shimin said: "You are 17 years old, Ke'er (Li Ke) is 17, and Qingque (Li Tai) is almost 16 years old. Well, well, you all come out and do things. ”

"Thank you, Father." Li Chengqian was overjoyed.

"What reward do you want?" Li Shimin asked.

"The father, the son, and the prince's brother have discussed, and the household department issued treasury bonds, which solved the difficulties of the imperial court. However, the money will still have to be repaid in the future, what if Datang encounters disasters or wars this year and next year, and it can't be paid back then? That would be to lose the credibility of the court. ”

Li Shimin thought about the huge national debt, and the pressure in his heart was not small, he asked: "What can you do?" ”

Li Su said: "The sons and the prince's brother think that the pressure on the imperial court is too great to rely on the taxes of agriculture. As he spoke, he took out a drawing and spread it on several cases.

Li Shimin saw that this was an architectural drawing, and the location was clear, just northwest of the palace, on the edge of the Wei River. The things on the drawings seem to be the workshops of the Ministry of Engineering, so I can't understand them.

He asked, "What are these?" ”

Li Su said: "The manufacture of four-wheeled carriages has brought income to the imperial court, and there are many similar things for the sons, and the manufacture can bring huge income to the imperial court."

The Ministry of Industry will set up a supervisor in Chang'an City, the noise is disturbing, and the place is too small to accommodate so many manufacturing workshops.

Here in the Wei River, it is a barren beach, and Erchen discussed with the Ministry of Industry to build a large industrial base here. This is the drawing of Chang'an Industrial City. ”

Li Shimin said: "Let's go on. ”

Li Su said: "The establishment of the industrial city can not only create wealth for the imperial court, but also resettle some of the victims for the imperial court, and at the same time solve the problem of industrial manufacturing and disturbing the people in Chang'an City." ”

Next, he introduced the operation concept of the industrial city to Li Shimin in detail.

Although he couldn't understand the industrial terms that Li Su came up from time to time, he was extremely excited about the prospects of the industrial city that Li Su described to him.

Li Shimin sent people to call Gao Jingming, the secretary of the household department, and Huang Furui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to carefully study the feasibility of the industrial city.

After a whole day of argumentation, Tang Taizong made up his mind to let the crown prince Li Chengqian be in charge, and the specific operation was in charge of Li Su and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huang Furui.

In the end, Li Su proposed that the construction of an industrial city requires the recruitment of a large number of talents, and in Datang, such talents are too scarce, and he wants to establish an industrial school, and graduates can hold official positions under the Ministry of Industry.

Li Shimin also agreed.

Leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian looked at Li Su, thinking about the recent surprise that this former brother of the three evils had brought to him. Li Su is smart and capable, and he never grabs credit, and protects the interests of his prince everywhere.

Not only does he not hate him now, but he likes it from the bottom of his heart. He warmly invited Li Su to his East Palace to sit down, saying that he would treat him well.

This morning, Li Su got up too early and was really tired, so he declined his invitation and returned to King Liang's mansion. Then, I slept until 4 p.m.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Dan and Du He.

Li Dan said: "Brother Su, you are awake, we have been waiting for you for almost an hour." ”

Duhe said: "Go out for a drink, we haven't been together for a long time." "He said that, and he really did.

Since Li Dan and Du He accepted the construction of the planting base, they can be busy enough, Chang'an City is 12 miles away from the planting base in Chang'an County, they have to run there every day, when they are busy, they simply live there.

Li Su is too busy during this time, and the brothers really don't have time to party.

Li Su said: "Okay, it's rare to have time today, let's go drink." ”

The brothers went straight to the church, and when they passed by the West Market, they saw a commotion in front of them.

There is a lively look, and the brothers immediately came to the spirit!
