Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen never thought about doing anything with this foundation. Li Shen didn't need either money or reputation.

He also did not want to be criticized for using the foundation's donations to pay high salaries to managers.

Li Shen planned to pay the wages of these people from Prince Ji's Mansion, without taking a single penny from charity donations.

This is what true charity should do. He is not a wicked person.

Wang Hongfu understood what Prince Ji meant and nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to do this. If anyone violates this, I will deal with him personally."

"Well, keep talking."

Li Shen nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, the Imperial Concubine's 600,000 strings of cash have already started to be transported out of the city. It is estimated that the delivery should be completed today, and other families will also deliver their goods today.

Three hundred thousand strings of cash from Prince Ji’s mansion were also transported there.

A total of more than 1.8 million strings of cash."

Wang Hongfu never thought that he would have so much money. He would have been able to build so many orphanages and Beitianyuans with it.

Li Shen was very calm when he heard this number:

"One million eight hundred thousand strings of cash, not bad, just so-so.

There is no rush for this matter. Yuanzheng is coming soon. Let's celebrate Yuanzheng well first and talk about other things after Yuanzheng.

You spread the word first that the painter who founded the school of painting has died and that he left behind a dozen paintings whose whereabouts are unknown.

Maybe it was taken away by the apprentice.

He also offered a reward, saying that he liked the man's paintings very much and would pay 10,000 strings of cash for each painting.

Now the business circle is hyping it up, and we want to join in the fun.

Yuanzheng released a painting before. "

Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance were stunned after hearing what King Ji said. King Ji was indeed cruel enough that he could even curse himself in order to achieve his goal.

“Your Highness, if you want to make something out of your paintings, you probably won’t make much money from a dozen paintings.

Why not say more? "

Wang Hongfu suggested.

In the past, they always bought low and sold high, and in large quantities.

How much money can you make from just a dozen paintings?

After hearing this, Li Shen cursed disdainfully:

"You know nothing. I don't expect to make money from this. I am planning to use this painting to help Your Majesty launder money.

I am an honest businessman, how could I do such a deceitful thing?

Wang Hongfu, where did you learn these evil ways? You must change them in the future."

Looking at Prince Ji's serious look, Wang Hongfu really wanted to slap himself twice, or shout, "This is a fake Prince Ji."

"Okay, this is settled. The workshops are closed for the holiday. Have the wages of the craftsmen been settled?"

"My Lord, everything has been settled, and the rice, flour, oil, and meat that the Lord ordered to be distributed have also been distributed.

The workshop will officially start work after the Lantern Festival."

Wang Hongfu replied quickly.

"What about the guards who stayed behind?" Li Shen continued to ask.

"Replying to the prince, the guards are also following the prince's instructions. Their salaries will be increased fivefold in twenty days."

"That's good. They are all my fiefs and the wealth of Prince Ji's Palace. We can't be harsh on them, otherwise who will work hard for us?

If I treat them better, they will be more loyal to me and do more work for me.

do you understand? "

Li Shen said it very seriously. This matter is very important. Nowadays, as long as you are nice to the people, they will work hard for you.

They know how to be content.

"I understand, Your Majesty, rest assured, the treatment that our Ji Palace gives to its craftsmen is the best in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Because in our Ji Wang Mansion, many workshops have increased the wages of their workers. "

Wang Hongfu actually didn't quite understand what Prince Ji did, but he had a blind admiration for Prince Ji, so he thought that what Li Shen did was right.

Because according to their ideology, the fiefdom is the private property of King Ji, and they can work for free.

Use taxes to replace their labor.

However, King Ji not only did not collect taxes, he also gave them high treatment.

"I'm glad you understand. Let's finalize the press release." Li Shen lay there lazily, with no intention of getting up.

Wang Xuance sat down at the desk, ground ink, moistened the brush, spread out paper, and prepared to write.

“Well, just write that our Emperor personally visited the large-scale charity auction held at Prince Ji’s Palace in December of the 22nd year of Zhenguan.

His Majesty the Emperor learned in detail about the specific procedures of the charity auction and had in-depth communication with me on some issues related to the auction.

His Majesty attaches great importance to this auction and stressed that helping the people relieve their worries is the foundation of the country and the top priority.

We should encourage merchants and nobles to do more good deeds, and increase publicity for those merchants and nobles who do good deeds for the people.

Your Majesty's guidance fully affirmed the importance of this auction at Prince Ji's Mansion.

It puts forward clear requirements for the later management of the Ji Wangfu auction, and is highly educational, ideological, targeted and instructive.

The Ji Palace will carefully understand Your Majesty's spirit and fully implement it.

That’s about it, you can write the rest as you like.”

After Li Shen finished speaking, Chunxiang immediately brought him a cup of fragrant tea. Li Shen took a sip to moisten his throat.

Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance were completely dumbfounded. They could understand what Prince Ji said and they were able to guess some of the new words.

It's just that the two people are completely unable to describe their feelings in words.

It does sound very official, and is easier to understand than the imperial edict issued by the court.

It sounds very high-end.

"Your Highness is truly a talented prince." Wang Xuance couldn't help but admire him.

"Your Majesty is still as elegant as ever. I admire you very much."

Of course, Wang Hongfu could not miss this opportunity to flatter.

"Okay, your flattery is becoming less and less original now. Go back and read more."

Li Shen lay down again and enjoyed the massage service from the two maids.

At this moment, a eunuch's announcement came from outside:

"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine has sent someone here to tell you that there is something important."

"Huh?" Li Shen was stunned after hearing this, then gave Shi Tou a look.

Shitou ran out immediately, and a maid was brought in after a while.

Li Shen knew this person. She was his mother's personal maid and also his confidant. Asking her to come and get it must be something important, or something that cannot be known to others.

Or the maid would only come back when Li Shen was being scolded, otherwise it was always the eunuchs who delivered the letters.

"Your servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

The maid came in and bowed.

"What's the matter with my mother?" Li Shen asked.

"Your Highness..." the maid said as she looked at the people in the study.

"Speak now, there are no outsiders here, they are all my confidants."

Li Shen understood what he meant and waved his hand.

"Yes, the Imperial Concubine asked me to inform the Prince that the Empress had fainted.

He has been sent to Datang First Hospital."

"What did you say?" Li Shenteng sat up suddenly.
