Chapter 21: Blacker than Wu Hua Nian

The well-known lord of a country wanted to go out for a walk, but he fell into a dung pit halfway.

Who can understand this complicated feeling?

Several ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

"Go to the capital, the capital of the country."

"It's ridiculous that this kind of thing could happen!"

Li Anmin slammed the table case, and he was already angry to the extreme.

If he hadn't gone to Wolong County, he might not have been so angry.

But after seeing the prosperity of Wolong County, he is really a little unbalanced in comparison.

Shangjing, once the capital of the country, the wealth of the world is exhausted, but it can't even compare with a county seat, which is like a joke.

Li Anmin took several deep breaths, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart: "Shangguan! ”

"The minister is here!"

Shangguan Yuanji stepped out of the ranks.

"Go and inform, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry."

"Let them start repairing the road immediately."

"And I only give them half a month."

Li Anmin said with a gloomy expression: "If there are still potholes on the road in the capital after half a month, they will resign and get out!" ”

"Minister, obey!"

Shangguan Yuanji didn't dare to say more, and retreated directly.

Li Anmin rolled his eyes and said, "Fang Qing! ”

"The minister is here!"

Fang Long also stepped out of the ranks.

"I've been in a dung pit all the way."

"I also saw the tragic situation of our people who are hungry and have no clothes to cover."

Li Anmin raised his head slightly and said: "You take some people to visit the people, see how many people can't even guarantee three meals a day when we go to the capital, make a summary, and then report it." ”

"Minister, obey!"

After waiting for the long end to walk out of the main hall.

Li Anmin's eyes fell on Cheng Jinzhong again: "Old Cheng, how many people are there in Jin Wuwei now?" ”

"Thirty-two thousand."

Cheng Jinzhong said without thinking.

"32,000 ......"

Li Anmin muttered, and then asked: "Do you remember how many people participate in patrolling the city every day, and how many people are idle in the barracks?" ”

Cheng Jinzhong said truthfully: "There are 8,000 people during the day and 2,000 people at night, and the guards are changed every three days. ”

"That is, when 10,000 of them are patrolling the city."

Li Anmin said: "The other 22,000 people are idle in the barracks? ”

"Nor can it be said to be idle......"

Cheng Jinzhong smiled dryly: "They also need to participate in daily training. ”

"Then don't let them train yet."

Li Anmin said: "When I came back, I saw that many people's houses were collapsing and damaged, so leave this matter to you and your Jin Wuwei to solve." ”

"I have only one request."

"A month later, I don't want to see any of the people's houses leaking in the capital when I go to the capital."

Cheng Jinzhong glanced at Li Anmin with a strange expression.

"What? Questions? ”

Li Anmin raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"No, no problem."

Cheng Jinzhong bowed and said, "Then the minister will go down and make arrangements." ”

"Well, go ahead!"

Li Anmin waved his hand indiscriminately.

Seeing that the three of them were gone, Du Qianhe became a little uneasy.

He always felt that His Majesty today was a little different from usual.

But what is different exactly, he can't say.

"Qianhe, you can go down too."

Li Anmin said without raising his head.

"Huh?"

Du Qianhe was stunned: "Your Majesty has nothing, you want to hand it over to the minister?" ”

"Not yet."

Li Anmin shook his head and said, "You just need to do your job." ”

"I understand."

Du Qianhe glanced at Li Anmin, and then slowly retreated.

Wait until everyone is gone.

Li Anmin exhaled a long time: "If you want to catch up with Wolong County, I have a long way to go to Beijing......"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be in a hurry."

Zhou Qi stood beside him and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty is the master of the world, as long as Your Majesty has this heart, the world will be fine sooner or later." ”

"Less sycophancy."

Li Anmin waved his hand and said, "If you have this time, you might as well hurry up and get down to business." ”

Serious business?

Zhou Qi was stunned: "What Your Majesty is referring to ......"

"What else could it be?"

Li Anmin frowned and said unhappily: "Bringing back so many drinks, are they all left with ashes?" ”

“……”

The corners of Zhou Qi's mouth twitched: "Your Majesty really plans to sell those wines?" ”

"You think I'm joking with you?"

Li Anmin's face was full of inexplicability.

Not to mention.

Zhou Qi really thought so.

Since ancient times, most emperors have regarded merchants as chicken ribs.

The world needs them to contribute taxes, and it also needs them to make goods circulate.

But having more businessmen is not a good thing.

Because there were more merchants, many people would choose to take refuge in the merchants' accounts and abandon their original agriculture.

And in a predominantly agricultural country, where no one farms, what is there to talk about?

So the first thing most emperors did after ascending the throne was to benefit farmers and suppress merchants.

But the person in front of him is good, and he wants to do business himself, which is simply unheard of.

But Li Anmin has already spoken out.

What else can Zhou Qi say, what else dare to say?

He lowered his head and said, "Then how much does Your Majesty plan to sell this wine?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Li Anmin lowered his head and thought about it: "Two hundred taels of silver a bottle!" ”

Hear this.

Zhou Qi almost stared out his eyes.

When he bought fifty taels from Wu Huanian, Zhou Qi felt that the price of this game was unreasonable, and it would definitely not be sold.

But now his own emperor is even darker than that Wu Hua Nian, and he wants to sell a bottle of wine for two hundred taels.

Where will there be a big wrongdoer!

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"I'm afraid it's a bit expensive."

Zhou Qiwei was puzzled: "There are a lot of rich people in our capital, but they don't necessarily buy this kind of wine......

"If I can't sell it, I'll naturally figure it out myself."

Li Anmin waved his hand indifferently and said, "You just need to do what I tell you to do." ”

"......"

Zhou Qi originally wanted to argue, but seeing that Li Anmin's eyes were not good, he still nodded and said, "Okay, the old slave understands!" ”

Just as he turned to leave, Li Anmin stopped him.

"Wait, I'm not done yet."

Li Anmin raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Qidao: "Before you leave the palace, go to the Ministry of Officials first, and bring Wu Huanian's life to me, as well as those from Wolong County, and bring them together." ”

"Yes, the old slave is going!"

Zhou Qi bowed, and then walked away quickly.

Next.

Li Anmin grabbed the book from the table casually and looked at it to himself.

"That...... Father, Emperor......"

Li Wenqian, who had been standing on the side and didn't leave, said slowly: "If it's okay, Erchen will leave first." ”

"Hmm."

Li Anmin didn't raise his head and said: "If you dare to talk nonsense next time, I will beat your ass!" ”

“……”

The corners of Li Wenqian's mouth twitched, and he smiled awkwardly: "Father, don't worry, the son will definitely close his mouth in the future and ensure that he doesn't talk nonsense." ”

"That's good."

Li Anmin waved his hand indifferently and said, "Get out!" ”

"Okay, son, get out!"

Li Wenqian didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran away without a trace.

At the same time.

Li Anmin put down the fold and looked at the door of the hall with a faint look in his eyes: "It seems that someone must find someone to treat this bastard well......"
