I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

After Li Shen came back from the harem, he told Wang Xuance the detailed plan. What is left is that Wang Xuance is responsible for formulating detailed plans. As for the newspaper, Wang Xuance has found a few scholars to take charge of it. Anyway, the final printing still needs to be reviewed by the two of them.

Wang Xuance was as shocked as the ministers when he heard Li Shen's plan. He couldn't believe that such a clever plan came from the hands of a teenage prince in his family. This plan is clever. But for those of them who read Confucianism, it is a bit despicable. This is naked robbery. But as a staff member and a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't care much about plundering other countries.

In the evening at Duke Lu's mansion, Cheng Yaojin's family was having dinner. Since there are no separate families, the whole family eats together. Cheng Yaojin drank wine and said to the eldest brother Cheng Chusi: "Da Lang, do you brothers often go to Prince Ji's Mansion to play?"

"It's not all the time. Your Highness Prince Ji is young and doesn't drink. So we go out to play most of the time. What's the matter?" Cheng Chusi replied.

"Oh, it's nothing. I used to think that this kid is smart, greedy for money, and doesn't like power. This makes us veterans feel relieved. After all, the prince is already very good now. But now I realize that this kid has too many ideas. I think you kids Together they can't compare to King Ji. Especially after hearing what King Ji said today... Anyway, don't play with this kid anymore. You won't know it until you are played to death." Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine and said to Cheng Chusi said with emotion.

All his life, he only knew that destroying a country must rely on fighting. Who would have thought that as Li Shen said, a country can be wiped out just by making money. The impact on him was too great. Silently plundering the wealth of a country that has been operating for many years, and finally annexing it is too vicious.

"Aye, what did King Ji say?" Cheng Chuliang asked curiously

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, what did King Ji say today?" Cheng Chubi also said curiously.

"Don't ask. This is a state secret. You are not qualified to know it. In short, Prince Ji is not simple." Cheng Yaojin did not say much.

"It's okay. We are on King Ji's side now. King Ji said that we are all brothers." Cheng Chusi said

"Anyway, you won't go wrong if you are more discerning, but it is better to follow King Ji than to go out and fool around all day long. Do you know that you will learn more from King Ji in the future? But there is one thing. If King Ji shows his intention to compete for the heir apparent, hurry up. Keep your distance. We don’t need to take sides." Cheng Yaojin said to his sons.

"I know, Aye," several boys responded.

After dinner, Fang Xuanling of Fangfu called Fang Yizhi and Fang Yiai to the study.

"Are you two very close to King Ji?" Fang Xuanling asked while sitting there looking at the two sons.

"Yes, ah yes. King Ji led us to make a lot of money. We all have a share in the paper mill and newspapers," the boss replied.

"Well, what kind of person do you think King Ji is?" Fang Xuanling asked again

"The prince is a good man. He gave us a hand when he saw that our children were poor. He is also a righteous man. We don't need to pay for profitable transactions at all. I heard that the king of Wei offered tens of thousands of dollars to buy paper shares, but he didn't sell them. Yeah. This time the newspaper business is also deducted from the dividends.

We don’t have to pay for it ourselves at all. He often teaches us how to become qualified noble children," Fang Yiai said excitedly to Fang Xuanling. They all think Li Shen is a good person. There is no need for them to do anything.

"Yes, Aye, we children all think that the prince is good. He is benevolent and kind. In fact, we all understand that it is the prince who is helping us, and he often tells me some truths. Now no one in Chang'an City is calling us dudes. .

We will not be seen like the plague like before. And now we eat more and have more fun than before, and we still beat anyone who doesn’t like him. The people also praised us. We really admire that King Ji really knows how to play. "House Yield Value also said beside him.

Fang Xuanling looked at her two sons who were talking happily with disgust in her eyes. Whenever it was mentioned that Li Shen was a good person and benevolent, Fang Xuanling felt even more that there was something wrong with his child's brain. So resourceful for a 12 year old. The decisive victory is thousands of miles away, if this plan succeeds. In less than ten years, these foreign countries will all be in the possession of the Tang Dynasty.

But he looked at his son and said, "Hey, don't play with this kid anymore. It's too dangerous."

"Why?" Fang Yizhi and his two brothers asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing. King Ji is not as simple as you think. You should learn more. But don't get involved in the fight for the heirloom." Fang Xuanling no longer knew what to say to his two sons.

The same scene was played out in the central minister's house. In the Changsun Mansion, when Changsun Wuji saw his son was angry because Li Shen didn't take him to play. He also said to Changsun Chong who hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.

"You are really mad at me. Look at other people's children looking at you. People know about the affairs of the court at home. You only know about the affairs of the outside world at the court. Today, you will be banned from home for three months and study hard. Don't do this anymore. children playing.

I'm afraid of killing you. Fortunately, you married a beautiful woman. Look at the officials' children who are close to the King of Wei. They are bullied every day. These dandies now spend their days eating, drinking and having fun. Unlearned and incompetent. "

"Aye, why are you grounded again? I didn't do anything wrong. Besides, Prince Ji is just a child. He is loyal and honest. People outside say that Prince Ji is stupid and rich in money. He gave away millions of dollars to those dudes." The eldest grandson When Chong heard that he was going to be banned again, he immediately got excited.

"You know nothing. This is taking advantage of the opportunity. How many officials are behind more than 100 children? Do you think that paper is so easy to produce, and the family has been monopolizing it for many years. And these children from neutral families will also be a force in the future. They are likely to become The mainstay of the Tang Dynasty.

Regardless of whether he competes for that position in the future, he will leave a way out for himself. It's scary that he is only 12 years old. A 12-year-old child knows how to make choices. A huge sum of millions can be divided at any time. How many people of your generation can do that? I know how to hang out with those bad friends all day long. Now that I have arranged for you to be with the prince, you should work hard. In the future, when the prince succeeds to the throne, my eldest grandson’s family will be able to continue its glory. "Hey, I hope this kid really doesn't want that position," Changsun Wuji taught his son.

Of course Li Shen didn't know these things. After handing over everything at hand to the people below, Li Shen began to think about what to do next. The New Year is coming soon. He will be 13 years old after the new year. He was thinking about what the time-travelers in the novels he had read were doing.

However, he doesn't like to meddle in the affairs of the court. Mainly because he has no political acumen and can make occasional suggestions. Now his industries include wine, soap, and paper. Newspapers are not yet making money. Besides paper, wine and soap are all high-end.

He is not as saintly as written in the novel. But there was one sentence that he liked very much. If you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. If it can make money and improve the lives of the people of Tang Dynasty. He was still willing to do it.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of what to do. Finally, when he was finishing the meal, he thought of it. There was a shortage of meat in the Tang Dynasty, and the people had limited food, and there were not many varieties. Breed less. So the price of meat is too expensive. If you feed too much. Then the price of meat will come down, right? Li Shen found his target again.
