"I see."

When Li Shen finished speaking, these people understood what it meant. So Li Shen continued

"And most importantly, you can't tell people from the outside about it. The fruit must also be for my royal house.

If I don't want it, I can take it out, if anyone reveals what is going on. You should know what will happen, including your family.

But if you die to protect the things in it, I will take care of your family, remember that betraying a prince is a capital crime in the law, and people are not enough to establish heaven and earth without faith, and people and gods abandon it. After Li Shen finished speaking, he turned around and stepped down.

There will be a special steward to sign the contract for the rest of the matter, and Li Shen is not afraid that they will regret it. It's just to have a statement later

The cement kilns on the side of Nanshan Coal Mountain have also been built, and there are seven or eight large kilns according to Li Shen's requirements. There is no way to build more due to artificial reasons, but these seven or eight large kilns are currently enough for Li Shen.

Everything was ready, Li Shen returned to the palace to change his clothes and went to the palace to find Li Shimin.

When Li Shen entered the palace, Li Shimin was resting in the harem garden, and Li Shimin couldn't stay in the hot weather. Though there is ice, it is a little bit to be able to save a little.

Li Shen was taken to the garden, and saw a group of warblers and swallows playing by the lake, Li Shimin sat in a rocking chair and drank tea and watched the twists and turns, Empress Changsun and Wei Guifei sat on the side and chatted, and many concubines in the harem arrived to show themselves to their heart's content.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I hear you've been busy lately? Large-scale construction. Li Shimin put down the fold in his hand and looked at Li Shen.

Li Shen thinks that Li Shimin dislikes himself, why does he say this every time he comes. "Aya, isn't there something wrong with me? It's okay and can't disturb your old man. ”

"Hmph, let's talk about it, what's the bad thing for me to carry for you." Li Shimin said to Li Shen just now that the old man was very troubled.

"I want to ask if there has been a disaster in the imperial court recently." Li Shen asked cautiously

"Do you think all you think about all the disaster that my Datang suffers?"

"Absolutely not, I'll just ask."

"I just got a report, the big water fields in Xuzhou were destroyed, and the people were displaced, why are you King Ji ready to give some money and food for the court," Li Shimin said teasingly.

"Xuzhou," Li Shen recalled the location of Xuzhou, two thousand miles away from Chang'an. So he said: "It's not okay to give money to the court, and Aya and I don't fight for the throne, why do you do such a loss." ”

Li Shimin's face changed after hearing this, "Bastard, how can it be a loss to do things for the imperial court." Shouldn't you, as a prince, do something for the court? ”

"By the way, is the mother's birthday coming?" Li Shen knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the topic and turned his head to ask Wei Guifei.

"What about the second half of the year. There are still a few months," Wei Guifei said with a smile

Li Shen said: "Mother, in previous years, it was too cheesy to give money and gifts. It seems that there is a copper smell between our mother and son, why don't we send something else this year? ”

Li Shimin pursed his lips after hearing this, and he suddenly didn't want to talk to Li Shen anymore. He also wanted to have a copper smell with Li Shen's father and son.

Li Shen sends things to Concubine Wei every year, as long as he hears that there are good things, regardless of whether they can be used or not, Li Shen will definitely send them to the palace as soon as possible, and sometimes he can get some light.

"Shen'er doesn't have to worry, if you share your worries more, I'll be very happy." Wei Guifei said happily. This son always gives himself a long face, more than a dozen princes, in terms of filial piety or Li Shen's filial piety. After leaving the palace, he had to visit him in the palace every month.

"Aye, why don't you do it. Doesn't it say that building bridges and roads, doing good deeds, and accumulating virtue? I'll build a road for my mother, and I'm not afraid of wind and rain if I build it with cement. Li Shen said to Li Shimin

"Cement road, this is okay, building a road is a good thing for the country and the people, and it can be regarded as praying for the concubine. Then which road are you going to build in Chang'an? Li Shimin heard that Li Shen was going to build the road, and nodded in agreement.

"Do you think Chang'an to Xuzhou?" Li Shen asked

"What do you say?" Li Shimin sat up immediately.

"Isn't it enough. Why don't you go all the way to Xinzhou by the sea and build this road? "Li Shen thought about it, and it wouldn't be good to repair half of it, anyway, it's not far from the seaside. Just fix it directly.

"Do you know that Chang'an is more than 2,500 miles to the sea." Li Shimin suspected that Li Shen did not know where Xuzhou was.

"Yes. Isn't it useful to pray for blessings if you are more slender? Li Shen returned

Li Shimin looked at this son, and he didn't know whether this son was filial or stupid. Such a long road took more than a few million yuan.

"Aye, not only to build roads, but also to provide disaster relief. I can go to the disaster area in Xuzhou first and hire people there to build roads.

From Xuzhou to both sides, in the way of work instead of Zhen, the imperial court does not need to distribute grain, I give them wages. Guarantee that they will survive the disaster year, and that there is still a surplus.

As long as the imperial court sells grain normally in various parts of Xuzhou, it is okay not to let others raise the price of grain. In this way, the court can also make a sum of money, but what the court should show is still to express. This year's taxes will definitely be exempted. After Li Shen finished speaking, he waited for Li Shimin's opinion

"It's really a good idea to work instead of work. But this job does require you to come out. Do you know how much money it costs to build this road? Li Shimin didn't want Li Shen to empty his family

"Aye, I've calculated, we produce cement ourselves, and if we use a large number of people, it is estimated that it will cost more than 3 million yuan. However, this has the advantage of being fast.

I plan to recruit at least one laborer per household in the affected areas. If there is no labor force in the family, it is okay. Let them come to the construction site to help cook a meal or something, and I will also pay high wages, so I can't leave one household behind. Li Shen said the plan

"Old ten, you've grown up. Do whatever you want. Li Shimin said with relief. It means agreed.

"If you need the cooperation of local officials, you as a prince don't need me to help you. In this way, I will make you the temporary governor of Henan Province in the next decree, and lead the disaster relief and road repair. Li Shimin was very happy.

"Sheayah. I estimate that tens of thousands of people will be able to repair before the mother's birthday. Li Shen was also very happy that he could finally spend the money.

After hearing this, the concubines on the side all cast envious glances at Wei Guifei, with such a good son, why not be favored in front of His Majesty, and give millions to the court at every turn. And he doesn't fight for the prince, otherwise he can't help the prince many times, as long as such a prince doesn't die by himself, at least two generations of emperors will have a smooth sail in the country, and no one can match.
