Chapter 554: Regular Meeting

After Li Shimin left, Li Shen rubbed the injury on his butt and went to find Wei Guifei.

Mother and son finally had the opportunity to meet, and Wei Guifei didn't see her son miss her son for a few months.

Li Shen told Wei Guifei what he had seen and heard along the way, and he talked about going to the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion as easily as playing.

He just didn't want Wei Guifei to worry too much, and after the mother and son chatted for a while, Li Shen said goodbye.

He still has a lot of things to go back to.

Back at the palace, Li Shen immediately called a meeting of the three giants.

This is Li Shen's practice, and after he comes back, he must know the situation of his palace.

Thus making some adjustments.

Soon Wang Hongfu, Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui, and Xiao Di Renjie arrived.

In Li Shen's study, Li Shen made a large round table, which can be used not only for tea but also as a conference table.

"Today, we are recruiting everyone, it is the middle of the year, and we will have a mid-year summary meeting.

It's still the old rules, Lao Wang, you can say it first. Li Shen was the first to speak.

Wang Hongfu is responsible for the most things, so it is generally Wang Hongfu who says it first.

Wang Hongfu stood up and saluted Li Shen, and then took out a small notebook, there were too many things, and he couldn't remember it.

He now has about a dozen assistants under him.

Wang Hongfu looked at it for a while, he didn't know where to start,

"Lord Wang, by the end of this year, the industrial park can be completed and put into use.

It may take until next year to complete the palace.

The 500 acres of Qinrenfang's palace has now begun internal construction, and the palace is being built in strict accordance with the drawings.

Promise not to transgress the etiquette,

The princess's mansion has now been completed, and it can be handed over to Princess Linchuan for use.

This is the prince's business.

The two roads we have put into construction today and nearly 300 colleges have only been under construction for one year.

Because of the experience last year, the construction speed is very fast, and the villain feels that the end of the year should be about the same.

The main reason is that the academy we built is actually not very large, and there are more craftsmen who build it, so it can be faster.

The road mentioned by the prince has not yet been started, mainly because our palace does not have much money now.

There wasn't enough money to raise donations at the Chamber of Commerce, so I kept waiting.

Today, the Anxi Prefecture has increased the cultivation of cotton and grapes.

Because the profits are relatively high, many powerful people in Chang'an have also gone to Anxi to plant cotton this year.

I have negotiated with the provinces that our royal workshops there can buy their cotton.

The villain estimates that this year's cotton yield should be more than seven or eight times that of last year.

Therefore, the palace still needs a lot of expenses at the end of the year.

In the first half of the year, our profit tripled compared to last year, which mainly came from glass products, tea and wine.

Especially for glazed products, we have been controlling the output according to what the prince said.

He has always been kept in demand, and we also sell in limited quantities for merchants who go to the Western Regions.

And we can't do the business in the north, it's all Ashinazhong's tribe doing it at present.

In the past six months, they have made a lot of money. ”

Wang Hongfu said for a long time, Li Shen listened very carefully, there was no way, there were too many industries in the palace.

The main thing is that there are too many things that are developing, and the former industry like soap is actually the main source now, and the sales have been very good,

But it's already on the right track, so you don't need to report it to him, just report the monthly sales to Lu Dingniang.

The economic power of the palace is still in charge of Princess Ji, and Li Shen is only responsible for making and spending money.

Li Shen thought about it after hearing this, and said to Wang Hongfu:

"I'll go to my sister to talk about the princess's mansion later. In terms of the academy, you are ready to dock with the imperial court,

We can build it, but we can't all come up with the follow-up things, and I will go to the palace to talk to Your Majesty about this later.

The Western Regions must give enough profits to the people, at least higher than the profits of growing grain.

As for the other princes and nobles, they used too many as an excuse to lower their prices.

It's just twice as high as the grain profit, and when more people go to develop the northwest next year, we are slowly lowering the purchase price.

The construction of the palace is not in a hurry at present, and it is enough for the industrial park to be put into use at the end of the year.

I also went to the palace to talk to them about the road construction, and I couldn't just let us pay for it, but there was no benefit, and it also made the court cheap.

By the way, Xuan Ce, hasn't the matter in the north been found out yet? ”

After Li Shen explained Wang Hongfu, he turned around and asked Wang Xuance,

The northern market is too big, Li Shen is really unwilling to give up to Ashina Zhong like this,

Although his wife is his sister and is also related by blood, Ashina Zhong has always been a foreigner.

Li Shen was now helping Ashina Zhong feed his entire clan, and the benefits he received were too little, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Back to the prince, there is no news yet, one thing is for sure, this group of people is definitely not from the Central Plains,

But they didn't find out exactly where they made it up to us.

The grassland is too big, and the ministers have gone down a few times before, but they haven't come back, and the ministers estimate that they may be more auspicious and less lucky. Wang Xuance replied.

"Of course, this king knows that they are not from the Central Plains, and the caravan that fled back at the beginning has confirmed this.

This king is the one who wants to know who they are, so targeting this king, behind them must be the Central Plains.

And there is a grudge against this king, why did no one report the bounty that this king added so much before?

Is the money given by this king too small?

No matter what method you use, this king just wants to see the results as soon as possible.

Xuan Ce, it's been almost a year. "Li Shen usually doesn't like to get angry,

But this time it was different, such a big piece of fat made him only look at it and couldn't eat it, which was simply torture for Li Shen.

Moreover, it did make him wait a little longer, as a leader of grace and power,

You can't just give them benefits,

There is still the majesty that should be there, Li Shen has always felt that he should maintain a certain sense of distance from his subordinates.

While making them feel valued, it is also important for them to know how to be loyal.

"The minister is incompetent, please forgive the prince, and the minister will send more people to give the prince an answer as soon as possible." Wang Xuance bowed his head and pleaded guilty, with some trepidation in his tone.

He also knew the reason why Li Shen was angry, and now it has been almost a year, and there is still no news from his side.

The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself. Li Shen gave him a higher level than the prime minister, but the corresponding responsibility will be greater.

"It's good that you know, this king has told you all, this king only looks at the result, and what the process is in between, this king doesn't care."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then continued:

"Huaiying, Xuan Ce handed over all the affairs of the Wa Kingdom to you, how is it going now?"
