What does Mei Niang think? "
Wu Meiniang was very surprised when she heard that, she didn't expect Li Tai to leave this matter to herself.
"Meiniang is a girl, how can she take on this important task?"
Li Tai smiled and said, "I believe Mei Niang can take care of it."
"Husband, why are you so confident?" Wu Meiniang was a little puzzled.
Li Tai smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, will I tell you that you will be the queen in the future?
"I will leave this matter to you, but you must pay attention to some things.
Do not oppress the people, never make the country suffer, do not change the price of grain and rice at will, let alone sell grain and rice to enemy countries. "
Li Tai thought about it, and besides these few things, there was nothing worth noting.
"Meiniang knows." Wu Meiniang nodded.
"Okay, you two haven't slept all night, let's catch up on sleep."
Li Tai rubbed his temples, and said tiredly.
Chapter 42 Doubt is the worst enemy
Soon, Wu Meiniang took advantage of Li Tai's power to control most of the Wu family's business, and they had no choice when facing Li Tai.
On the other side, Li Tai ordered his subordinates to go directly to investigate the topography and landforms near the various minerals.
It took two days to receive several rough topography.
Quite simple, the mountain is an inverted V with a name, the water is a wave, and the minerals are a circle....
Li Tai frowned, but fortunately, the road into the mountain was drawn.
After many inquiries and redrawing, Li Tai took a relatively accurate drawing and chose the location for the blast furnace.
The location is under the iron mine, there is a small stream beside it, a few miles away is a coal mine, and a little further away is a limestone mine.
The terrain is fairly flat, and people can live there.
The plan is to level the ground first, and the excess soil can be used to build a kiln and burn bricks.
Bricks can be used for this living place as well as for building blast furnaces.
The fuel is the trees on the side of the road. While obtaining fuel, the road leading to the mine is also widened.
Maximize the use of current resources and materials.
It's just labor intensive and time consuming.
It is estimated that it will take more than a month at the earliest.
Li Shimin was not very satisfied with the current construction progress.
"It seems that this batch of iron will not be able to keep up with this winter."
Now and almost November, it will take one month to build the blast furnace, and the transportation to the frontier will also be calculated on a monthly basis.
Li Tai had no choice but to use the surrounding resources as much as possible.
"This is the best and fastest way.
This place is remote, far away from Chang'an.
If the bricks and stones are transported from Chang'an, the journey may take longer.
It's better to get local materials, build kilns and burn bricks. "
"Hmm." Li Shimin didn't say anything, just asked casually.
"A while ago, didn't you say that agriculture and commerce are the two legs of man?
Why didn't Huang'er take any action, but instead left the matter to Wu Mei? "
Li Tai was also speechless.
"The minister is also incapable of splitting up, so he can only leave the matter to Wu Meiniang."
"The book was not written either?" Li Shimin asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I wrote some, but not completely." Li Tai said.
"Well, speed up the progress, don't slack off, many people are dissatisfied with this matter.
Tomorrow morning, you have to prepare for the remonstrance of the officials, and I want Wei Zheng to be your teacher, and you have to do the ceremony of apprenticeship. "
Li Tai nodded quickly: "I understand."
I have already prepared for the apprenticeship ceremony.
It's just the advice of the officials, it's really annoying.
After Li Shimin's investigation, he left with a guard of honor.
Li Tai, who was left with a gloomy face, sat bored and supervised the work.
Even though I don't have to do anything all day as a supervisor, I still feel tired.
······
Chaohui day.
Before dawn, Li Tai was woken up to go to court.
All the officials lined up, and when they saw Li Tai's sedan chair, they began to keep their distance in a low voice.
Even Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, who were always out of tune, avoided to say hello to Li Tai.
Obviously, the two of them don't want to be involved in this dispute of right and wrong.
Not long after, the door opened, and hundreds of officials lined up to enter in an orderly manner.
The eunuch on duty shouted: "Go up to court."
After all the officials took their positions, the eunuch called again, "Your Majesty is here."
"I have seen Your Majesty!!" All the officials bowed their heads and saluted at this moment.
"Exemption."
As everyone stood up, Li Shimin glanced at everyone, paused for a while on Li Tai, and then said: "There is something to play, nothing to retreat to!"
Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said, "I have something to announce."
"allow."
"Tianche and Shenli have been sent to various prefectures and counties, and they have all responded, only the far south has not yet responded.
All the prefectures and counties speak of fetishes, and the common people are grateful for the virtue, shouting for His Majesty's sage..."
Duan Lun simply popularized Quyuan plows and bobbins, as well as a batch of hand-made horseshoes, and shipped them to the frontier.
Li Shimin listened with a smile all over his face, very happy.
"Is there anything else important?" Li Shimin asked with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Zhu Suiliang stood up and said.
"Quite~" The corners of Li Shimin's eyes twitched, and he looked at Li Tai.
Li Tai knew that Zhu Suiliang was about to start.
"Recently, in order to detoxify, more people have domesticated cattle and chickens, and the people of Tang Dynasty will have a good harvest in the coming year."
Zhu Suiliang first said some words of praise.
Li Tai raised his eyebrows.
In the past, rich people used their money to buy elixirs, but now they use the money to raise more cows and chickens for detoxification.
It also unintentionally did a good thing.
In one second Zhu Suiliang praised him, but in the next second he directly attacked.
"Recently, rumors have spread in Chang'an.
A drug farmer saw the birth of a dragon in Jinghe.
Later, Wu Mei, the concubine of Wei Wang, bought the dragon seeds with golden pills in his body and cooked them, which caused the two Wu family to lose all their minds, brother to brother, and died in Huangquan.
There are many doubts in this case, please His Majesty thoroughly investigate the truth and stop the rumors. "
As soon as the words fell, many ministers seconded: "Please Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the truth."
"Isn't the case closed?" Li Shimin directly announced the results of the investigation at Dali Temple.
"Brothers of the Wu family, there was a gap in my heart in the early years.
The younger brother suspected that his elder brother had poisoned the fish, so he killed him.
Then the younger brother spoke rudely again, forcing the housekeeper into a hurry, and was stabbed to death by the housekeeper.
The ins and outs of the matter are crystal clear.
What Jinghe Shenlong, what bought the dragon son of Jindan.
These are all idlers who are full of wine and food. The rumors fabricated in idleness are unbelievable! "
This sentence was not credible, and all officials knew Li Shimin's attitude, which was an obvious cover-up and connivance.
It seems that the Wu brothers died in vain.
After learning of Li Shimin's attitude, Zhu Suiliang quickly apologized and said: "I am stupid, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"It's okay, rumors stop with wise men." Li Shimin said casually.
All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, they could only accept the result, and at the same time looked at Li Tai with even more fear.
After feeling a series of gazes sweeping over him, Li Tai smiled wryly.
Recalling when she asked Wu Meiniang how she killed the Wu family brothers, she replied: "Doubt is the greatest enemy."
Now, I am also suspected and become the enemy of all...
While Li Tai was smiling wryly.
Wei Zheng stood up and said.
"I recently found out that His Royal Highness the King of Wei has made a profit in business, and he has built a new civil engineering project.
The minister thought that the king of Wei had a noble status, and the merchants were lowly and ungrateful for profit.
The large-scale construction is a waste of money and people, so it should not be squandered. "
The greatest benefit value of business has not yet been reflected.
Moreover, this large-scale construction project was ordered by himself.
Wei Zheng and Li Shimin also have a headache about these two issues, and it is very difficult to explain them.
Simply said: "I think what Ai Qing said is very reasonable."
Wei Zheng's face brightened.
Li Shimin said again: "Then I will order Aiqing to be the teacher of Wei Wang, and teach Wei Wang well, how about it?"
The joy on Wei Zheng's face hadn't dissipated yet, a question mark slowly appeared on his head, and he opened his mouth wide.
what does this mean?
Do you not mind your Taoist origin?
You must know that Li Tai has a very high possibility of becoming the crown prince and sitting on the throne.
On the other hand, Kong Yingda frowned.
This shouldn't be!
Even if it's not me, it must be a Confucianist! !
