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

(Fan group 1 is full, and group [-] has been established. You can join group [-].)

You have to use your interests to drive these people in the court. Their efficiency and seriousness in doing things are unmatched.

Just like Li Shen said, if the income from one acre of land is five times that of chestnuts, Li Shimin will not need to raise it, and the dignitaries in the court will flock to it.

"Aye, I'm really not suitable to be in officialdom, nor am I suitable to be in the court. Just spare me." Li Shen shook his head after hearing Li Shimin's words. He had made so many preparations before, not just to give himself a free and easy life. Capital?

Now you still want me to throw myself into a trap, so why not go directly to the East Palace?

"Alas," Li Shimin sighed softly. He didn't say anything else, but wrote an imperial edict on the desk, and then asked Wang De to take it to Zhongshu and his disciples.

"I have issued an imperial edict for you. You can expropriate land there as you like, but I have to occupy [-]% of it." Li Shimin has learned wisely this time, and he will definitely make money by following Li Shen.

"Aye, you're wrong, then I'm making money for the treasury, and I still have to pay taxes. Just give me some land, and I can buy it.

Aye, you are so rich now that there is no need to make money from me. "Li Shen was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's practice of asking for [-]% of the profit for only a little land. The last time in Heaven and Earth, it was because he was caught.

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen, and Li Shen looked at Li Shimin without showing any signs of weakness. They just looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Finally it was Li Shen who spoke,

"Aye, if we are a family of ordinary people, it doesn't matter if one of us is half. To be disrespectful, if Aye is a hundred years from now, the property will still be mine.

But Aye is the emperor, and this half of the property may not belong to anyone in the future. I can give half of my money to honor Aye, but I cannot divide the shares.

Aye, I have to think about your grandchildren. If there is a dispute between the family property and the court in the future, it may not be the property of Prince Ji's Mansion in the future. "

Li Shen didn't want his property to have anything to do with government departments. Experience told him that with him now, everything was still in his hands, but when he was gone, none of his descendants would be able to control the situation.

Then this industry will soon no longer be theirs. History has taught us how many people cooperated with the imperial court. In the later period, the imperial court sent officials to supervise, and in the later period they were responsible for management. In the end, they either went bankrupt or were kicked out.

Li Shen thought very long-term. He would rather contribute a sum of money every year and give it to Li Shimin for free. The property must be Prince Ji's Mansion. Even if there is a prodigal son in the future, at least he can be defeated.

Li Shimin's face was a little uncertain. He didn't care that Li Shen said he would die in a hundred years. He was concerned that Li Shen dared to disobey him.

Li Shimin didn't think about what Li Shen said in the future. He only considered the immediate things. Li Shen's industry had an income of several million yuan every year.

If half of this money belonged to him, it would be a great help to the court.

"Aye, there will be a rebellious son in every family, and our Prince Ji's Mansion is no exception. I have to think about our family."

"Hmph!! Isn't it enough that I have a disobedient son like you in my family?" Li Shimin snorted coldly. Why Li Shimin is said to be a wise king is because he will not do things based on personal preferences regardless of other people's dissuasion.

"Li Shen, maybe you are right, and I know what you are worried about. I also hope that my branch can be passed on, but you must also think clearly about future generations.

Your property's income is increasing every year. Can you guarantee that my grandson will not make mistakes? "

Li Shimin asked the right question. If you don't argue, where will your son and grandson be from now on? When one's family is as rich as a country's, it's easy to have other ideas.

Li Shen laughed after listening to Li Shimin's words. "Aye, I can't guarantee it. What I am doing now is for future generations to enjoy glory and wealth. As for what they do, the children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If they really have a disobedient heart, they will be killed.

But I can't let them live a miserable life just because I'm afraid they might rebel. They will scold you then. From now on, there will be no one to pay homage to my son during the New Year and holidays. He will be so lonely down there, right? "

Li Shen had a smile on his face, but his heart was as cold as ice. He had too much money. He was very glad that he stayed under Li Shimin's nose. This would have been the case in the fiefdom.

His fate can be imagined. As long as the family has nothing to do, he will be like Li You.

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he said, "You are right. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Go ahead. After the imperial edict and Wang De have passed, the disciples will send it to you. Do what you should do."

Li Shen bowed and silently retreated.

Along the way, Li Shen was meditating. Now his Prince Ji's property is indeed quite large, with an annual income of 400 to [-] million yuan.

It has exceeded [-] million in a few years, and he still has many businesses that he has not yet completed. If he did it all, he estimated that it might collect more taxes than the national treasury in a year, and by then it would be even more dangerous.

No, I have to figure out a way.

After returning to the palace, Li Shen immediately called Wang Hongfu.

"Old Wang, there are a few things I want you to do now.

First, send people to Fuzhou and ask them to recruit people to build clipper boats. They need to be big and can travel far away. Tell the craftsmen not to be afraid of spending money. I only want the boat and I don’t care about anything else.

Second, build a palace for me on the edge of the Wei River, covering an area of ​​[-] acres. The style should be the same as that of Prince Ji's Mansion, and the walls should be higher than those of the Manor in Pianhe River. Towers, watchtowers, etc., you can ask any craftsman who has built them before.

The third thing is to prepare for the workshop at the Anxi Protectorate. There may be insufficient materials there, so bring some cement here. It's not as good as Chang'an there, but it's better to be built more solidly. Set off in three days and notify Zhang Chong. "

Li Shen explained everything to Wang Hongfu, and Wang Hongfu wrote down the first two. He didn't know why Li Shen did this. The cost of building a palace of one hundred acres is not small.

"Your Majesty, it will soon be winter. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish repairing the palace."

"I didn't let you finish the repairs. Fix the underground drainage and other things. The wall should be enclosed first."

Wang Hongfu was good in business, but not in other aspects. At this time, Li Shen missed Wang Xuance very much.

Wang Hongfu went out after listening to Li Shen's explanation. Li Shen was sitting alone in the study.

At this time, someone called the door, and Li Shen said, "Come in." Wu Meiniang walked in with hot water.

"This slave will make tea for the prince." After saying that, he came to Li Shen's tea table.

Li Shen continued to lie on the rocking chair and think.

"Is there anything bothering you, Your Majesty?"

Wu Mei saw Li Shen frowning, knowing that Li Shen was troubled, so she asked.

"Hey," Li Shen sighed. Wu Mei was one of his own anyway, so there was no harm in talking.

"Mei Niang, sooner or later you will also belong to me, so it doesn't hurt to talk to you. What I am worried about now is that I have too much money."

"I guess the prince is in trouble today. The maid has long thought that the prince will encounter this problem. It should be considered too late."
