Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

After talking about this matter, Li Shimin prepared to dismiss the meeting and let Li You go back to collect the money.

However, when the words came to his lips, Li Shimin remembered another reason why Li You came here today, and immediately asked, "Your, do you have anything else to report?"

Originally, Li Shimin wanted Li You to talk about the Turkic incident last night, but Li You was not going to report this matter at all.

Hearing Li Shimin suddenly asked him if he had anything else to do at this moment, Li You boldly took this opportunity to talk about his plan.

"Father, I do have something to say about what happened last night."

"My son feels that at such a young age, not only does he have his own palace, but he also holds several positions as Minister of the Household Department and General of the Shence Palace. It is really exhausting."

"Judging from what happened last night, I can't even take care of my own one-third of an acre of land, so how can I help my father govern the country?"

"Therefore, I beg you to resign from the position of Minister of the Household Department. At the same time, the Salt Supervisor under the Shence Mansion also asks Your Majesty to make another arrangement. Whether it is placed under the Household Department or hired by the Nine Temples and Five Supervisors, I have no objection!"

Li You's voice was full of self-blame and exhaustion, as if he didn't want to care about these things anymore.

These words were Li You's strategy of taking retreat as an advance that he had been thinking about last night.

A mere Minister of the Household Department has no influence on him at all.

Although he was implementing currency reform before, it was on the grassland and had little impact on the Central Plains.

As long as Li Shimin does not fundamentally reject this proposal, it will be a success for him.

Besides, even if this reform fails, the real money has already been transported back to Chang'an, and the various ethnic groups in the grassland will not be able to make any waves if they lose this money for a while.

As long as Li You was given enough time to resolve the crisis around him, it would not be difficult to turn around and deal with the grassland.

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, or Goguryeo, which one did not repeatedly jump between surrender and rebellion.

But the behavior of these clowns did not have a big impact on Zhongyuan.

At this moment, Li You finally understood the internal logic of the phrase "to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside" which he once regarded as dross.

After getting rid of the restriction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, whether it is Yanwang Mansion, Shence Mansion or Youzhou Governor's Mansion, it is considered as Li You's one-acre three-point land, and it is not easy to do things in a deceitful manner.

After he develops enough to compete with the aristocratic family, Li You will definitely make him pay the price for what they did today.

Originally, Li You felt that according to Li Shimin's usual personality, he offered to resign naturally to persuade him to stay.

However, today Li Shimin didn't have any intention of staying: "Well, since You'er has made up his mind, then let you go."

"Wait until you are older, and then share your worries with your father."

Then Li Shimin said without any pause: "The position of Minister of the Household Department is related to the country's population and agricultural affairs, and it must not be vacant."

"Dai Zhou, I appointed you as the new Minister of the Household Department, and I will work hard for you in the future."

Li Shimin's series of appointments, like flowing clouds and flowing water, made the aristocratic families below dizzy for a while, as if everything had been arranged long ago, and they were just waiting for today's announcement.

Especially Wang Gui and Cui Mingan, they all felt their backs tightened at this moment, and they immediately broke out in cold sweat.

They pretended to be seamless in yesterday's actions. Not only were their own actions extremely covert, but they also coincidentally coordinated with other people's actions.

No matter who it is, it is impossible to find out this matter in such a short period of time.

Because of the coincidence, there is no way to explain clearly.

If Li You sold papermaking and printing technology to the public just now, and later resigned from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the behavior of keeping a low profile can be regarded as Li You's unwillingness to be Li Shimin's gun again.

But Li Shimin's actions seemed to have been known for a long time.

Looking at it like that, it is exactly the way it is ready to finish after the layout is completed.

This made Wang Gui and Cui Mingan extremely nervous.

However, the most surprised person at the scene was not these two people, but Li You.

Just now when Li Shimin agreed to his request so easily, Li You was just a little taken aback, thinking that Li Shimin was understanding his depressed mood because of the accident in the palace, but the appointment announced by Li Shimin afterwards was completely from his heart.

Although Li You had already decided to leave the Ministry of Accounts by himself, he did not intend to let such an executive organization as the Ministry of Accounts fall into the hands of the family.

So he was going to recommend Dai Zhou to Li Shimin after he agreed to his resignation.

And he had already thought of the reason.

Dai Zhou's original reputation is not low, and in the past two years, he has made a lot of achievements because of the promotion of new crops in various places.

If after Li You became Minister of the Household Department, Liu Ji would basically be in charge of the internal affairs of the Household Department, then Dai Zhou would basically be in charge of the outside affairs.

Therefore, if there is no better candidate, it will be a matter of course for Dai Zhou, who is already familiar with the affairs of the household department, to be the secretary of the household department.

However, although the Chief Officer of the Six Departments does the most tiring work, it is still a very sought-after position.

Even though Li You had a plan in mind, he was afraid that once he opened his mouth, the aristocratic family would notice something vigilantly and start to sabotage it.

However, what Li You didn't expect was that Li Shimin had already made his decision before he spoke.

And these words came from Li Shimin's mouth, which made things much easier.

Faced with the doubts in Li You's heart, Li Shimin was actually a little flustered.

He just eavesdropped on Li You's heart and thought the idea was good, so he decided to copy it.

Facing Li You's question now, he didn't think of a reasonable explanation for a while.

But fortunately, sometimes, he doesn't need to explain anything himself.

Fang Xuanling who came back to his senses said: "Your Majesty is wise, Sir Dai Zhou is the person who is most familiar with the operation of the household department besides King Yan."

"The focus of the household department's work today is still on the promotion of new crops. At this time, it is indeed the safest plan to let Mr. Dai, who is most familiar with this matter, continue to lead the household department."

Du Ruhui on the side nodded: "Xuan Ling's words are absolutely true!"

With the foreshadowing of these two people, Li Shimin nodded and said: "It is also customary for the chief officer to leave his post and be replaced by an adjutant."

"Actually, You'er is young. At the beginning, I let him be the Minister of the Household Department just to give him experience. Now he also knows that it is not easy to be an official. This experience has paid off. Naturally, this position should be given up. Out."

"This is also an affirmation of the ministers of the DPRK and China."

"Dai Qing's family, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

With such a question, Dai Zhou naturally felt that it was worthwhile to run in the fields for the past year, and his majesty saw his hard work and remembered it in his heart.

At that moment, Dai Zhou knelt down to thank him, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Li You.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, what I did was just my job, and King Yan's ability to find these new crops is the first achievement!"

"Even though King Yan is no longer in the Household Department, I still hope that King Yan can remember the days when he was in the Household Department and provide the same help to the Household Department."

Li You had also recovered from the shock at this moment. Although he felt that what he said just now was a bit far-fetched, he still had an explanation anyway, and Li You probably regarded him as the highlight moment of Li Shimin's improvisation.

"Master Dai, you don't need to be like this. Although the king is no longer in the household department, his heart is still with the people. If you have any problems in the future, you are welcome to come to the palace at any time!"
