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

Coming out of the palace, Li You only felt relaxed.

Removing the Minister of the Household Department completely freed Liu Bowen from the chores of the Household Department. Now that the crisis continues, Li You knows that although he has the thinking and vision of a modern person, as well as the blessing of the system.

But from another point of view, he is still an ordinary person after all, and it is not easy for him to protect his life wisely under the serial tricks set up by his family.

So at this time, if there is such a resourceful and absolutely loyal person as Liu Bowen, Li You will naturally let him make the best use of it.

After returning to the palace, Li You once again called a meeting with the staff of the palace. Compared with the previous conference, this time all the people participating in the meeting came from the system.

"Everyone, this king has resigned from the position of Minister of the Household Department to His Majesty. From today onwards, we will devote all our energy to the future development of Shence Mansion."

"Berwin, let me tell you what kind of property we still have after stripping the salt prison and the two workshops."

Speaking of which, in the past year, Li You has spent most of his time studying the system space, and he doesn't really care about the development of his own industry.

Now he just took advantage of this opportunity to learn more about it.

Liu Bowen got the order, and immediately began to cherish every detail: "After divesting the industries mentioned by the prince, the most important thing in our hands now is the coal and iron industry mainly in Hexi."

"In addition to Hexi, we have also discovered more than ten coal mines and iron mines across the country. At present, four of them have been purchased and the transformation of collection and processing equipment is in progress. The others are still under negotiation."

Li You never imagined that without any management, the coal and iron industry not only operated well, but also tripled in size.

Thinking of this, Li You couldn't help becoming excited.

If we continue to develop according to the current situation, within five years, Li You can basically take over half of Datang's mines under his banner.

When the time comes to become a coal boss, that is also the state where you can become a rich man by lying down.

Nowadays, although many people are aware of the importance of coal and iron, there are still too few capable of mining. As far as the output of coal and iron in Datang is concerned, even Li You's mine in Hexi can't match it.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Bowen and the others were able to negotiate the acquisition of these mines at an extremely cheap price.

Although this kind of acquisition speed will inevitably decrease as the share increases, but after reaching that size, Li You doesn't care so much.

Those are mines, even if it's just the two in Hexi, Li You can't finish digging in his life, buying more mines is just to speed up the speed of making money.

But immediately, Li You shook his head.

【These aristocratic families will never let him grow up like this. 】

[Just think about the current papermaking and printing. Now they are targeting Hexi only because of the existence of Hexiwei. 】

[However, once the business spreads all over the country, they will definitely have an opportunity to take advantage of it. 】

[My idea of ​​being rich and safe is still not working! 】

Seeing Li You shaking his head non-stop, Liu Bowen thought that Li You was not very satisfied, and urged himself to continue, so he hurriedly continued: "Except for the coal and iron industry, it is a new learning."

"Xinxue's education work is managed by Principal Wu, so I won't go into details here."

"I'm mainly talking about other things."

"Now there are already two grades of students in Xinxue. According to the prince's intention, there will be the first batch of students completely educated by Xinxue in two years."

"Now the construction of the new school at the practice workshop has started, and it is estimated that it will take another year, and it will be almost the same."

"If we put all our energy there, we'll have half a year to go."

Hearing this, Li You came back to his senses from his thoughts on the coal and iron industry just now.

He shook his head again and said, "Let's do the project slowly, don't worry, and work steadily step by step."

"And after what happened last night, I think our design plan needs to be adjusted..."

Liu Bowen nodded. He was also surprised that the family would take such a barbaric action this time.

At the same time, it also sounded the alarm in Liu Bowen's heart. Although Chang'an seems peaceful today, it is also undercurrents.

To gain a foothold in this era, just being a prince is not enough.

After discussing the new studies, they visited Duanmurong's medical school, Bei Xiannv's gourmet city, Nishang's painting boat and Haig's research institute.

In the end, Li You decided on the future development direction of Shence Mansion.

That is to keep a low profile as much as possible, and then make a lot of money silently.

In other words, it is to slow down the current progress of the project, so that the affairs of the Shence Mansion will disappear from the eyes of the public as soon as possible.

The acquisition will continue in the name of other people, and there is no need to vigorously mine after the acquisition, just follow other things slowly.

Not only for acquisitions, but if Haig's research institute develops something new in the future, it will basically adopt this model.

Just like his current cooperation with Feng Shaoshi and Dou Dan, he has many other partners, such as Chai Shao and Kong Yingda.

Although the pace of development is slowing down in business, Li You is preparing to speed up in another aspect.

The accelerated part is Mou Bin's Jinyiwei.

Through this incident, he once again realized the importance of intelligence work.

If they hadn't found out that Monk Hu was going to prescribe medicine at the Winter Solstice, it is very likely that when the Turkic people came to kill them, they would have been in a hurry.

Although Li Shimin's safety can still be guaranteed, Jieli Khan cannot be guaranteed.

If something unexpected happens to Xieli Khan, the situation in which the Turkic grasslands have finally settled down is likely to change.

And Li You's previous layout will also be in vain.

Although there is no loss to him, it is still a lot of hard work after all.

In Li You's plan, this time by helping the major families build printing factories and paper factories, his people will settle down in these places.

In the past year or so, apart from grasping the information on Chang'an capital, Mou Bin has been more concerned with the cultivation of reserve talents.

And now, it's time for them to take action.

Of course, in addition to the talents he cultivated, there may be many other ways of intelligence, and Li You will not let it go.

He asked Liu Bowen to take advantage of the opportunity of rebuilding the palace to secretly transfer a large sum of money and use them as funds for Jinyiwei.

Moreover, all proceeds generated from the assets held secretly in the future will be used for the operation of Jinyiwei.

As an important task for the next five years, making money is Li You's strategy.

In Li You's words, even if money is spent, a smooth road must be created.

After talking about this matter, Li You was about to end the meeting, but Yuhuatian stopped Li You.

"My lord, are you really not going to care about those Turkic affairs?"
