After Wang Jue's reminder, everyone immediately thought of a solution.

Since Li Zhi proposed the idea of expanding Guangzhou, he simply agreed to him.

But the imperial court must have no money now, if Li Zhi has a way, let him solve it himself.

When Li Shimin heard that everyone could even think of such a shameless method, black lines suddenly appeared on his face.

But there is no money in the treasury at the moment, so he can't open his mouth if he wants to solve the siege for his son.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, pinching his nose and agreeing with everyone's opinions.

The next step was to discuss the issue of setting up a government-run workshop to make money.

This time, everyone suddenly came to the spirit.

The crowd came up with a lot of ideas and put forward some new ideas.

The state-run workshops proposed by Li Zhi are not intended to monopolize certain industries.

Instead, some of Datang's existing government-run workshops will be integrated for unified management.

To put it simply, it is to add a unified management system to some workshops set up by the imperial court in different regions.

This allows for better integration of resources.

For example, by integrating the government-run salt ponds in various regions, the total annual production and sales volume can be clearly understood.

The next year's production is then allocated based on the current market selling price.

The same is true for other industries.

The technology currently used in the state-run workshop is all researched by Li Su and others.

Therefore, the production efficiency and price advantages of these workshops are obvious.

In this way, those private capitals are either gradually eliminated, or they buy patents from Li Zhi or develop them independently.

In short, Li Zhi wants to force more people to participate in the road of technological innovation.

This is actually an expedient measure that he thought of, with the aim of cultivating more mathematics, physics and chemistry talents.

Li Zhi's men are now less than 3,000 people studying the knowledge he imparted.

Not to mention rapid industrialization, it takes a long time to get ready-made drawings and materials and let them make them.

Li Zhi just wants to use Datang's state-owned enterprises to wake up some people.

It is also very useful to make them all realize that what they are teaching is also very useful.

In this way, it will be easier for him to recruit students in the future.

After everyone had talked about the workshop, the next step was to discuss the establishment of a bank.

It would be an exaggeration to say that they don't understand this field at all.

After all, the private lending and pawnbroking business is now somewhat related to the bank.

But digging deeper into them is a bit of a struggle.

At the end of the day, everyone felt like they weren't sure they could do it alone.

So unconsciously, everyone thought of Li Zhi again at the same time.

Li Shimin was stunned for a long time after hearing the opinions given by everyone.

After a long time, he frowned and said, "Everyone, isn't it a little too shameless for you to do this?" ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, everyone smiled awkwardly.

They also have no way.

Li Zhi's proposal was too high-end, and they couldn't figure it out.

But the project seemed to be very profitable, so they didn't want to give up.

Therefore, in line with the principle that whoever makes the idea will do the work, this matter can only fall on Li Zhi's head.

By this time, Li Shimin had lost his temper.

He could only reluctantly open the last topic, that is, the corruption case in Guangzhou City.

When everyone heard that all the officials in the entire city of Guangzhou were corrupt, they were also shocked.

Especially when he heard that Dang Renhong had embezzled millions of dollars, he gasped.

In this era, not to mention millions of dollars, there are not many people who have thousands of family wealth.

It has only been a few years since this party Renhong was transferred to Guangzhou.

Who would have thought that he could be so greedy.

Fang Xuanling was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the main responsibility for the collective corruption in Guangzhou must be on Dang Renhong. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Such a bad thing needs to be severely punished to warn others. ”

Li Shimin hesitated and said: "Dang Renhong is the founder of the country, and his official reputation has always been very good, so I think I should be tempted this time." ”

After all, Li Shimin was still reluctant to execute Dang Renhong.

He wants to shift the main responsibility for this corruption case to someone else.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, Dang Renhong, as the chief official of one party, does not want to report corruption but colludes with others, and he should be punished by one degree. ”

Li Shimin sighed: "Having said that, he is an old minister who has followed me for many years after all!" ”

Dai Xuan said: "The crime committed by Dang Renhong is already a pity, and Your Majesty must not be too emotional." ”

Li Shimin looked carefully at the people present.

It was found that almost everyone had gray hair on their heads.

Even the youngest Fang Xuanling and Hou Junji are no exception.

So his heart was even more unbearable.

I only heard him speak: "Now that I have just settled down, but you are getting old, I really can't bear to kill anyone!" ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, everyone was moved.

The scene became a little dull for a while.

After a while, Wei Zheng spoke: "Your Majesty's intentions and ministers already know, but the state has national laws, and since someone touches it, it should be done in accordance with the law." ”

Other people also spoke up to persuade Li Shimin that he should act according to the law and should not be mixed with personal feelings.

But Li Shimin's heart still can't give up.

So he said to everyone: "Let me think about this matter again, you can stand aside for the time being." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they all showed a wry smile.

It was a good thing for the emperor to be so affectionate and righteous.

However, considering this matter from the perspective of the imperial court, it must be severely punished according to law.

Otherwise, it will be of a bad effect on other officials.

However, at this time, everyone did not say much, but surrendered one after another.

Li Zhi, who was far away in Guangzhou City, didn't know at the moment that his letter had added a lot of trouble to himself.

At this time, he was drawing a map of the expansion of the city of Guangzhou.

Among them, there is a place along the river with very beautiful scenery, which Li Zhi took a fancy to and prepared to build a luxurious palace for Li Yuan.

A lot of timber was already stored when it was cleared.

These timbers combined with bricks and cement can greatly speed up the progress of construction.

Li Zhi spent a lot of money and hired thousands of craftsmen to build it.

He hoped that the construction could be completed before winter came, so that Li Yuan could be brought over for the winter.

The construction of the sea ships has been going on for more than half a year, but only two keels have just been laid.

Although the progress is a little slow, it is also something that cannot be helped.

The ten ships that Li Zhi had booked were so large that only two of even the state-run shipyards were barely able to build them.

First, it is because there are few docks to build large ships.

The second reason is that it is too difficult to build.

To have such an achievement is the result of the integration of many excellent shipwrights in advance, and everyone's brainstorming.

Li Zhi had already sent some of the dried planks over.

This will also help the construction progress somewhat.
