Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

After hearing Li Shen's words, Li Shimin glanced at Li Shen, and then said in a deep voice without raising his eyelids:

"Li Shen, do you feel that I haven't hit you for a long time and that I am getting old?

Or are you beginning to miss the feeling of being beaten by me? "

The emperor secretly sold weapons to enemy countries. No matter whether it was right or wrong, just saying it would make people laugh to death.

How did his son come up with this? He really didn't go to bed for three days.

"Well, Aye, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously.

But then again, this is an opportunity. Xue Yantuo has harassed the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and finally got a chance to destroy them.

How can we give up? "Li Shen still wants to fight for it.

"Okay, stop talking, Old Ten, there are some things I can let you do, but not this one.

Think about your current situation. I don't want you to take chances. You just need to care about the construction of your city.

Don't get involved in Xue Yantuo's affairs. You can sell anything except weapons. I will never stop you. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is very serious. You can't bear it, and I can't protect it.

There is also the construction of Chiling that I need you to keep an eye on. One hundred thousand workers will be too much trouble. You need to be there at least in the early stages.

I will rest assured that you are there. I will allow you to take your guards with you, and I will give you three thousand cavalrymen to protect your safety.

You must be fast. I asked Duke Wei, and he gave me the opinion that Tibet has united with the Western Turks and may launch an attack on the Tang Dynasty at any time.

The mutual market is just a cover for them. "

Li Shimin said it very solemnly. He had talked with Li Jing, Duke of Wei, and Li Jing deduced the result based on the collected intelligence.

Li Shimin still believed in the judgment of this military god.

After hearing this, Li Shen knew that he had no fate with Xue Yantuo. Li Shimin did not want him to take risks and could not lose his life just to make money.

And they also attach great importance to the important town of Chiling.

"Aye, if the tea-horse trading market is just a cover, then do we still need to invest in manpower and material resources to build it?

Might as well use the money to deal with future attacks. Li Shen said.

War costs money, and the soldiers say that many things need to be decided by oneself, but large-scale wars, especially wars that last for a long time,

In order to win, the imperial court would choose to distribute some good weapons or unified standard weapons to maintain combat effectiveness.

There are also military rations, fodder for horses, salt, and vegetables. It is impossible for the soldiers to bring them by themselves.

Therefore, the consumption of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops in one month is astronomical.

"No, you don't understand. Chiling is located on an important road. If Chiling is blocked, they will not be able to join the Western Turks.

There were only a few roads from Tubo to Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, garrisoning troops in Chiling is equivalent to driving a nail into the Tubo territory. Even if their army is approaching, we can launch a sneak attack from behind them at any time.

Therefore, your Chiling fortress is very important and must be indestructible. "Li Shimin explained for Li Shen.

After hearing Li Shimin's explanation, Li Shen understood and assured Li Shimin:

"Don't worry, Aye, I will definitely make the Chiling fortress indestructible. I will also complete the construction of the fortress as soon as possible."

Hearing Li Shen's assurance, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Li Shen left and returned without success. Bai was happy. When Wang Xuance knew that Li Shen had returned without success, Wang Xuance was not too surprised.

"My lord, I am guilty. I did not think carefully just now. After my lord entered the palace, I realized that this matter cannot be done after careful consideration.

We can sell anything to other countries, but we cannot sell weapons and armor.

If the prince's enemies were to seize the opportunity and accuse the prince of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the prince would be hard-pressed to defend himself.

It seems that Your Majesty is wise and has already thought of this, so he rejected you, Your Majesty. "Wang Xuance apologized.

"Sigh~~ I just figured it out just now. This matter is indeed a bit unreliable. But I just want to make some money.

Now that such a large fortress needs to be completed within one year, Prince Ji's Palace may not be able to afford it. "

Li Shen sighed. If he wanted to build a city, rent out shops, and pay taxes on transactions, Li Shen could indeed make a huge profit.

But the initial investment is indeed huge, with high investment and high returns.

"Come here, call Wang Hongfu." Li Shen shouted to the door.

Soon Wang Hongfu ran in panting.

"My lord, what happened when you are so anxious to find a villain?" Wang Hongfu asked.

"Come sit down and take a rest before we talk." Li Shen pointed to the chair next to him and said.

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"Old Wang, the key cities in the northwest require a lot of money, and materials must also be considered. I asked you to find a suitable place to build a cement workshop in the western prefectures and counties. How did your search go?"

Li Shen's small workshop is now struggling to build roads, let alone build a city.

"Going back to the prince, we have found seven or eight locations, but I don't know whether we should build the workshop ourselves or leave it to others as the prince said?" Wang Hongfu replied.

"You go contact some big merchants, those who are closely related to us and have strong strength. We will hold a bidding conference in heaven and earth in three days.

In fact, cement is not an important thing to us. It will be used in too many places in the future. We cannot focus on firing cement.

Remember, try to find someone in Chang'an, and your family members must be in Chang'an. "Li Shen ordered.

"It's the prince." Wang Hongfu agreed, and then suddenly thought of something and said.

"By the way, Your Majesty, we now have some money in the treasury. Our income this month is about 600,000 to 700,000 yuan.

There is also the rent for leasing the industrial park, which is about 17.8 million yuan. "

"So many?" Wang Xuance was surprised. The annual rent is just that much, not counting other expenses.

Unexpectedly, Li Shen frowned.

"Why is it so small? We calculated at the beginning that the annual rent in the first three years would be around 3.5 million yuan."

Seeing that Li Shen was a little unhappy, Wang Hongfu quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, now only 60% of our shops and warehouses are rented out, and there are some old customers of ours. The villain decided to give them some reductions, but only for the first year."

"Yeah," Li Shen nodded after hearing this. Sixty percent is about the same. It may be because the time is too short now, but there will be more in the future.

As for Wang Hongfu's talk of giving people exemptions and reductions, Li Shen didn't care. As the CEO of Wangfu, he didn't even have this right, so how could he do anything?

Li Shen still trusted Wang Hongfu very much, and it didn't matter to Li Shen even if he was a little greedy.

Of course, he has not been found to have done anything like this so far.

Wang Xuance on the side was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Li Shen had invested a lot of manpower and material resources and built the industrial park for several years, but he would have such a huge profit.
