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

After washing up, Li Shen brought the three giants of Prince Ji's Mansion to the study. Li Shen took a sip of herbal tea to refresh himself.

"Well, everyone, sit down. You've all worked hard while I'm away. Lao Wang, please tell me."

Wang Hongfu is the one who has the most things going on. There are more and more businesses in Prince Ji's Mansion. Although he is equipped with several assistants and shopkeepers, he still has to make decisions on many things.

"Your Majesty, the palace is currently operating according to the plan. The villain's brother is in charge of the northwest side. The scale of cotton planting has been expanded, as well as grapes and other fruits.

Wineries and textile factories have also been built, and new looms in the laboratory have begun large-scale production.

Everything in the Chamber of Commerce is running normally, and all matters are handled by the vice president. We are increasing publicity to increase the number of members.

Lingnan has cooperated with the fifth prince to build a base specifically for cultivating rice. The fifth prince provides personnel and the construction costs have been paid by the villain.

The shipyard in Fuzhou to the east has doubled in size, and a clipper ship is about to be completed. Moreover, the villain bought all the land near the dock and waited for the prince's other plans.

The construction of the industrial park next to the Weishui River started in the spring. The road construction has been completed, and the [-]-acre Wangfu Courtyard next to the Weishui River is also under construction.

And our Prince Ji’s Mansion, due to His Majesty’s decree, plus the house we purchased ourselves, we have [-] acres of land in Qinrenfang, which is currently being demolished. If it is completed, it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of next year or the year after that. "

Wang Hongfu took the small book and explained each task one by one. He and Li Shen have learned a lot over the years.

When reporting work, don’t talk about the process. Leaders only focus on the results. They talk about how many people were hired, how many materials were bought, and how much hard work was done. In the end, if you don’t finish the work, it’s just like talking in vain.

Li Shen was not interested in the process. Wang Hongfu only wanted to tell which step he had reached and when he would complete it.

Li Shen nodded after hearing this. He didn't expect that there were so many things to do.

"By the way, as for the colleges, I promised to build more than 200 colleges. I can't break my promise." Thinking of Li Shen from the aristocratic family will remind you of what he did.

"Back to my lord, the construction has started at the beginning of this year. Workers were recruited locally, and the styles are all based on the drawings issued by the Ministry of Industry. They are all exactly the same." Wang Hongfu replied.

"Exactly the same? That's not novel. What a pity." Li Shen shook his head, it was not pretty at all.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the carriage in the laboratory has been completed. I'm asking if production is needed." Wang Hongfu added.

"Of course. You need someone to set up a carriage shop. The parts can be customized in the carpentry and ironworks, and then you can go back and assemble them.

Remember the standards I gave them. Parts that do not meet the requirements will not be allowed to leave the factory. This will make it easier for us to replace parts during later maintenance. "

Li Shen warned Wang Hongfu.

"Old Wang, how much money do we have now?" With so many things going on, this is what Li Shen cares about.

"Your Majesty, the output may be lacking a lot at the moment, mainly in construction, building industrial parks, building two palaces, and building schools, but our monthly output can still be supplied.

By this time next year, our income will have increased significantly and we will have a surplus by then. "Several industries will be profitable next year, so Wang Hongfu dared to say this.

It's just that Li Shen has a headache and wants to make a profit again.

After Wang Hongfu finished his report, it was Wang Xuance's turn.

"Your Majesty, there is currently no movement in the direction of Tubo. Since we restricted the food in the Western Regions, there are not many people in the Western Regions buying food.

But someone discovered that many businessmen were transporting grain to the Western Regions. Unless we intercept it, there is no way to avoid it, because the court has no ban. "

Li Shen nodded. He knew that there was no way to completely prevent Tubo from buying grain. The main reason was that he didn't have that much energy.

"Where's the north?"

"The north has yet to find out who is behind the scenes. According to herdsmen on the grasslands, they sometimes see these people.

They only attacked Han caravans and sometimes disappeared without a trace. "Wang Xuance said.

"It's interesting." Li Shen touched his chin. This group of people was a mobile unit, but Li Shen believed that they must have a hiding place, but it was just relatively hidden.

"Your Majesty, our pirate group has now been formed. Its lair is a few hundred miles away from the Tang Dynasty. It has about 2000 people, most of whom are poor people recruited from the coast.

They intercepted the ships coming and going from the Japanese country, and the food contained 20 shi, as well as some porcelain and silk from the Tang Dynasty. They will soon be delivered to our own port warehouse in Fuzhou. "

"Well, that's right. Tell them that I will not treat them badly, but they cannot rob civilians. Especially the route from Silla to Japan must be guarded by me."

Li Shen guessed that the Japanese might sell their own grain to Goguryeo.

"It has been arranged." Wang Xuance replied.

"Well, these are the matters in the palace at the moment. Xuance, please send more manpower to investigate who is responsible for the incident in the north.

Since they are only targeting Han caravans, let's leave the tea business to Ashina Chu first. But we want [-]% of the profit. If he doesn’t do it, then we won’t supply them with tea.

Remember you can’t buy or sell by force, we are relatives. "Li Shen explained sincerely.

Wang Hongfu immediately followed suit and praised Li Shen for his benevolence and righteousness.

Only Wang Xuance remained silent. He really couldn't praise him. Ashina Zhong was the prince's brother-in-law.

If you don't do it, you won't be given goods, and you won't be forced to buy or sell. Wang Xuance was speechless.

"By the way, Lao Wang informed the glass workshop to keep all the defective large glass so that it does not need to be refurbished. We will build a large vegetable greenhouse near the feedlot. Sow it in the autumn and you can eat it in the winter.

Remember to build a few more. The cost is not expensive anyway, so that after the first crop is finished, the second crop can keep up. I don’t want to eat meat every day in winter. "

Li Shen added that Li Shen's actions would actually move many people, such as businessmen, nobles, or common people.

In the breeding plan implemented by Li Shen last year, Prince Ji's Mansion was responsible for producing the cubs, food and technology, and the food court was only responsible for feeding them.

However, only [-]% of the market price was given, but it also gave the restaurants extra income.

This year, not only from the food towns, but also from other villages around Chang'an, many people came to ask for raising poultry and livestock.

Some ambitious restaurants have even applied to build small farms to raise a type of poultry, such as laying hens, carnivorous chickens, or pigs.

For such a restaurant, the palace provides great support and even lends you money if you have no money.

Even many small nobles have seen business opportunities. They are not as rich as the princes and nobles. Of course they must seize the opportunity if they have income.

This is how people are, everyone has several opportunities to change their destiny in their life, it depends on whether they can seize it and reach the sky in one step.
