Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

Wei Zheng said that it is unrealistic to be a charity business, and it is even more unrealistic to restrain people with morality.

For a while, everyone was arguing endlessly, each holding their own views.

After arguing for a long time, everyone looked at Li Shimin who had a headache and Li Tai who was in a daze.

In the end, everyone was blushing and their necks were thick, and they couldn't decide the winner. They could only salute to Li Shimin and said, "Please, Your Majesty, judge."

Li Shimin's head hurt from the quarrel, he looked at Li Tai and said, "What does the prince think?"

Li Tai stood up slowly, and spoke under the gaze of everyone.

"Returning to my father, my son thinks that business has advantages and disadvantages.

The glass, perfume, and tooth powder sold by the Chamber of Commerce today are all products that are beneficial to Datang.

In the past, the people of the Tang Dynasty at this time of year bought foreign gems and spices, and countless money flowed out of other countries.

But this year it's the other way around, the chamber of commerce has earned countless silver dollars.This is one of Italy.

The big disadvantage is that many families have obtained money, and they will buy land to make farmers lose their land.

As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules, and I thought that my father's joining the chamber of commerce would just be able to supervise the actions of the chamber of commerce and avoid such things from happening. "

"Ahem. That's what I mean." Li Shimin nodded, agreeing with Li Tai's statement.

The faces of everyone changed, and Chu Suiliang's face was even more brilliant.

Real hammer!

Li Shimin first supported, and then secretly controlled and managed the chamber of commerce. This was Li Shimin's purpose.

After finding out Li Shimin's attitude, everyone couldn't wait to tell their family the news.

We have to discuss countermeasures quickly. Should we continue to follow the chamber of commerce, or run our own business independently?

Li Tai and Li Shimin looked at each other, there must be a lot of fools running away now.

This can just remove some people, and when the Ministry of Commerce is established, they will all be loyal people.

Li Shimin scanned around, and slowly said

"I learned statistics a few days ago with all my loves, and I ordered all my loves to map out the fate of the Tang Dynasty. I think you all have heard of it."

After speaking, Li Shimin paused to observe everyone's reaction.

The civil and military officials in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this the past? ?This is no longer discussed?

After waiting for a while, the civil and military officials did not see and no one spoke.

The ministers already understood that it was too late, and Li Daozong's actions were beyond everyone's expectations.

It's just that this matter was not discussed with the important ministers. What does Li Shimin mean by this, you must know that he would at least discuss it with Changsun Wuji before.

"All the lovers lived up to expectations, and submitted their own charts one by one. After I re-drawn, the current national destiny of the Tang Dynasty has been fully displayed by me.

As he spoke, the joy on his face could no longer be concealed.

Come, show the country's strength. "

Soon, the four palace guards moved a folded screen over, opened it and displayed the national fortune map in front of everyone.

"This is the plan I drew for the Great Tang Kingdom, my people, my land, the people's fertile fields, and the state treasury's grain..."

Li Shimin introduced the meaning of each curve on the screen one by one with a happy face, and finally concluded.

"Generally speaking, during the years when the Supreme Emperor and I were together, natural disasters and wars continued, but many lands were recovered, and the people were cultivated during the Zhenguan period, and the population continued to increase."

Everyone looked at the many line charts, all the curves can be described with twists and turns, it is really not easy.

There is no dynasty that is more difficult to establish than the Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be the extreme of internal and external troubles.

Internally, the three conquests of Goguryeo led to the death of countless soldiers, coupled with the continuous natural disasters, countless people rebelled, it can be said that there is nothing more chaotic than this.

In the early years of Zhenguan, in order to appease the refugees and the common people, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng imitated Guan Zhong's "land equalization system" and distributed the land to farmers and refugees who were eager for land.

Externally, the national strength is weak, and what's worse is that there are countless powerful enemies such as Turks and Goguryeo.

The most dangerous thing is that the Turks hit the Weishui River. You must know that the Weishui River is the moat of Chang'an, and it is less than ten kilometers away from Chang'an City.

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin turned around, looked around everyone with excitement and affection in his eyes, saluted everyone, and said in a high voice.

"Today, the Tang Dynasty can have such a peaceful and prosperous age, it cannot be separated from the lovers, it cannot be separated from the soldiers, and it cannot be separated from the dead souls."

The words are full of affection, and the words are touching. Everyone can't help but have moist eyes and blood all over their bodies.

"I, thank you all my loves for your dedication to Datang over the years!!"

Every downward turn means natural disasters, wars, and man-made disasters, all of which are huge sacrifices and deaths.

What the folded lines gather is not only the national power, but also the hearts of the people and the strength of the entire nation.

Every bit of improvement is the result of countless people's hard work, bloodshed, dedication, and sacrifice.

Faced with Li Shimin's editing salute and thanks, a strong sense of pride and a strong sense of accomplishment filled everyone's hearts.

A kind of incomparable pride and lofty honor echoed in everyone's minds, and all civil and military officials responded loudly with their chests out.

"As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, you should serve the country with your own body. If you eat the king's salary, you should swear allegiance to your majesty. I am willing to do my best for your majesty until you die."

The voice was strong and powerful, echoing in the hall for a long time.

Everyone was very excited, looking at Li Shimin and Guolitu with piercing eyes, the trend can have today and continue to strengthen, which is the recognition of the sacrifice and dedication of civil and military officials.

This is the best reward for years of hard work.

"Okay, I'm going to get drunk with you today!!" Li Shimin said happily with a smile on his face.

Chapter 136 Nobody Believes My Truth?

After some reports and banquets, this year's year-end summary is roughly over.

Most of the people were preoccupied and rushed home to inform the family members that Li Shimin was going to take control of the chamber of commerce.

Only Li Tai and a few important officials waited for Li Shimin to talk in the imperial study.

The important ministers gathered together, and they wanted Li Shimin to give a reasonable explanation, because too many things happened recently.

The most obvious ones are the blast furnace in the shape of a cylinder, the scene of smoke emission, and the sound of mining explosives exploding. These movements are too loud to be concealed at all.

But this is Li Shimin using his own private money, and he has precedents for building temples and so on.

So the important officials didn't want to say anything, they just thought that Li Shimin was building an altar or something.

But now it's different, actually a strange altar was built in Qian Jian's mine, and it also smoked!

It's worth it! !

The Qianjian is the place where coins are minted, which is extremely important to the national treasury. I have written many times and have not given an explanation. This time I must give an explanation!

In addition to the change of Qian Jian, there is also the matter of the chamber of commerce.

Li Daozong didn't discuss the matter with himself and others, even the most trusted eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others didn't know about it.

Isn't it obvious that he doesn't trust himself and others?

Many changes, as well as Li Shimin's attitude, made everyone feel worried and uneasy, and they needed a reasonable explanation.

They want to know what Li Shimin is doing?What exactly do you want to do?

And Li Shimin also had some headaches. Seeing that his employees were about to go on strike, he was naturally in a bad mood.

Changsun Wuji came out, bowed his head and saluted Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Qianjian Mine is an important place for the country, and it is related to the national treasury. I dare to ask why Your Majesty built an altar at the Qianjian Copper Mine?"

All the ministers looked at Li Shimin and Li Tai in unison, begging them to give a reasonable explanation today.

After all, some people tied their wealth and life to Li Shimin, such as the eldest grandson family....

And some are people who were born and died together, who are closer than brothers, such as Fang Xuanling and others.

It’s okay to secretly build an altar, but to build this thing in the Qianjian mine, isn’t this a money printing machine for the treasury?Is this worth it?

In addition to messing around with the treasury, they don't even distribute good things like tooth powder and perfume to everyone. This is eating alone! !

The ministers were very dissatisfied with what Li Shimin did in Qianjian and his behavior of eating alone.

Li Shimin frowned and thought hard, how could he get past this level?

Thinking about it, he turned his eyes to Li Tai, and Li Tai just glanced at it and pretended not to see it. Xin Dao knew that Clever was building a blast furnace in Qianjian. Now it's all right, the officials are on strike!

Seeing Li Shimin thinking hard, his eyes erratic, the important officials who knew his habit knew that he wanted to get away.

They immediately asked together: "Your Majesty, please dismantle the altar of Qian Jian and restore Qian Jian to its original appearance."

"Hey~" Li Shimin let out a long sigh. It seems that it is impossible not to give an explanation, but it is time for science to be established as a national academy, and his small treasury is already too much. At the same time, the Academy of Sciences also needs more manpower.

Thinking of this, he slowly stood up, straightened his body, put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Before agreeing to the request of the Ai Qing, I have some things in my heart to say to the Ai Qing."

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this to be understood with emotion?Have you played the emotional card?

"All the lovers are my humerus ministers." As he spoke, his eyes swept over the ministers one by one, including Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, and Yu Chigong...

"Some followed me into battle to kill the enemy, some were brothers who went through life and death, some were close friends who lived and died, and even some were bosom friends who talked over wine!"

"You came here with doubts in your hearts, and you deeply love the country of Tang Dynasty. You are here because you are worried that I will build a large building, and you are worried that I will repeat the mistakes of Qin II."

The minister's face was calm, he stared at Li Shimin with his head held high, his eyes seemed to say that he was right, but he was worried about your large-scale construction.

Facing everyone's scrutinizing eyes, Li Shimin shook his head and explained with a helpless sigh.

"But the blast furnace built by Qian Jian is not a scientific altar. It is used to smelt steel and can produce ten thousand catties of iron per day."

The minister's eyes showed suspicion when he heard this, and he observed Li Shimin's face, is he drunk?

But what puzzled them was that they didn't see that the color was very confused, but they were very sober, but why were they talking nonsense?

Daily production of ten thousand catties of iron?Are we all fools?

Fang Xuanling said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you are drunk and waiting for the minister?"

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, he was so speechless when he told the truth these days, he explained somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"The products of science currently include divine plows, cranes, horseshoes,... glass, tooth powder, so what's the fuss about having a steel that produces ten thousand catties a day?"

Everyone exchanged glances, unknowingly, science has produced so many products.

Qu Yuanli, everyone has seen the horseshoe, it is indeed very ingenious, but with a daily output of [-] jin, the efficiency improvement is really too great, it is simply a dream.

"It's not right to say that I'm drunk." Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, he shook his head and denied, "I've never been so sober before!"

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and for a moment couldn't tell whether what Li Shimin said was drunk or not. After all, people who were drunk said they were sober.

Li Shimin's sincerity and seriousness: "I clearly understand the power of science, and I believe that science will lead Datang to invincibility."

During the speech, he was majestic and his tone was high. He tried to infect everyone with his passionate tone.

But everyone listened to the black lines all over their heads, frowned and squinted and looked at three big question marks slowly appearing on the back of Li Shimin's head.

Toward invincibility?

The scene was very quiet for a while, filled with embarrassment.

It was difficult for them to get Li Shimin's excited emotions, but they were full of doubts and scrutiny, and countless complaints.

You, Li Er, are you sure you didn't drink too much fake wine?

Why is your mouth full of drunken words?The more you talk, the more outrageous you are, and you are still invincible? ?Why not conquer the universe?

And why have you never seen you, Li Er, have the habit of bragging when you're drunk?

Yu Chigong couldn't stand it any longer, and said in a low voice, "If Your Majesty is drunk, why don't you go to bed earlier?"

Li Tai watched Li Shimin's embarrassing chat with the officials, the corner of his mouth twitched and pinched his thigh fiercely, because he would laugh out loud if he didn't do so.

Li Shimin's head was full of black lines, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching. It was extremely embarrassing for others not to believe the truth.

Now there is really no other way, since there is no reason to explain the problem, we can only use evidence to explain the problem.

"Come here, bring me my clairvoyance!"

"Yes!" Yu Linjun hurriedly went to the warehouse to take out the clairvoyant.

But the ministers frowned, their faces were both helpless and speechless, they all sighed and shook their heads, thinking that Li Shimin was either drunk, or he was pretending to be drunk and trying to get away with it.

A blast furnace with a daily output of [-] jin is outrageous enough, and now there is clairvoyance. This "Shan Hai Jing" dare not imagine it like this.
