Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin
Chapter 827 Simple and crude
"As an official of the imperial court, don't you understand that the family and the country must be separated? Although I am a prince, how can I represent the imperial court?
Then if I do something wrong in the future, will I also represent the court? What will the people think then?
Moreover, why should the king spend money in the name of the imperial court? If I spend money, I will definitely publicize it in the newspapers and say that I am a good person. "
Li Shen looked at Gao Jifu with a contemptuous smile, "Are you still an important minister?"
Everyone else understood what Li Shen meant. First, Li Shen was a prince and did not need to have such a high reputation among the people.
Secondly, why should he give his own money to the court? He is not the emperor.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji said that the money still has to come from the court, and there isn't much anyway." Fang Xuanling stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness Prince Ji, I am a little curious, how do you deal with the price increase of those tribes?
I heard that a prisoner over there is worth more than cattle and sheep. I wonder if His Highness Prince Ji has any clever ideas? "Changsun Wuji also stood up and said.
Li Shen turned around and ignored Gao Jifu, and said to Li Shimin:
"There is no such clever plan, but since it is a business, we can talk about it. We are eager to redeem the people, and they will definitely raise the price.
But..." Li Shen said this, then looked around and continued.
“They also have things they want, such as food and other things related to people’s survival.
Prince Ji's Mansion has been doing business with them for so long. If they increase the price, then we will also increase the price. If they increase the price ten times, then we will increase the price twenty or thirty times.
When the time comes, we will trade with them the increased prices of grain, not just grain, salt, cloth, etc. It’s just a matter of increased prices. "
It’s simple and crude. If you raise the price, I will raise the price too. I only have a few people, but together you have dozens or millions of people.
The small tribe has a few thousand, and the big tribe has hundreds of thousands. It will be up to you who will die faster when the time comes.
Everyone was shocked by Li Shen's simple and crude idea. King Ji was indeed the same King Ji.
In order to save face, the imperial court could not forcefully suppress the newly surrendered Northern Tiele tribes, but Li Shen could conduct transactions as a businessman.
Your Majesty is indeed still so wise and powerful. Although most matters are now handed over to the prince, he is still strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.
Everyone speculated that His Majesty must have thought that this matter was difficult to do, so he summoned King Ji.
"Um... Aye, why don't you ask me to do this with my eldest brother? The people who have been rescued can also know that it was me, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, who rescued them."
Li Shen thought for a while and suggested to Li Shimin.
"Huh, the prince still has things to do. I am still recuperating. The prince still needs to be in charge of the government.
It's up to you to arrange this matter. Go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to collect the money spent, but remember not to make false reports, I will keep an eye on you. "
Li Shimin saw through his son's plan. If the prince was allowed to do this, Li Shen would not have to worry about anything and be happy alone.
Li Shen had no choice but to nod and accept the order. Those bold words he said yesterday were like farts.
The matter was settled, everyone resigned, and Li Shen and Li Chengqian walked out of the hall together.
"Third brother, thank you for your hard work. Aye has already told me what you said yesterday. I know you like to be happy and free.
But there are some things that are much easier for you to do than for the court to do, and you can achieve your goals more quickly. Big brother knows that it is not easy for you. "
Li Chengqian patted Li Shen on the shoulder.
"Alas~~~Brother, the world of adults is never easy. Isn't it that people come to this world just to suffer?
You and I are lucky enough to be reborn in the royal family. We are luckier than anyone else in the world.
My younger brother is already very satisfied with his current life. At least he doesn't have to suffer all the hardships and travel around to support his wife and children.
Look at those craftsmen who traveled thousands of miles to Qinghai Road to work. Isn't it just to make their parents, wives and children live a better life?
They left their hometowns just for a few copper coins, but these few copper coins can relieve their sorrows, protect the health of their elderly, enable their children to go to school, and buy firewood, rice, oil, salt and grains.
But these few strings of copper coins have made them suffer many vicissitudes of life, bending their backs and making them heartbroken with sorrow! "
"Tenth brother, are you okay?" Seeing Li Shen's sentimental look, Li Chengqian asked with concern. He felt that Li Shen was a little abnormal today.
Li Shen turned his head and smiled slightly at Li Chengqian.
"Brother, I'm fine. The younger brother just suddenly felt a little emotional. The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and the road is freezing to death."
"Tenth brother, the wealthy family you are talking about does not refer to us, right?" Li Chengqian asked in a low voice.
"Uh..." Li Shen was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed too much. I'm from a wealthy family.
"Brother, I still have something to do. Take my leave." Li Shen nodded to Li Chengqian, turned around and walked away, ignoring the dumbfounded Li Chengqian who was messy in the wind.
Li Shen returned to the palace and immediately sent someone to notify the three giants to come here for a meeting. Li Shen had not held a meeting for a long time.
He was too lazy. As long as everything was on track, some small mistakes were harmless. There were so many things in Prince Ji's Mansion, and he couldn't arrange everything himself.
For example, in business, Wang Hongfu now has more than twenty big shopkeepers, each of whom is responsible for a stall. This does not include the shopkeepers of the workshop.
There are more than 2,000 shopkeepers from various states and counties in Prince Ji's Mansion. Counting the workmen, there are 10,000 to 20,000 people.
There are also workers in the workshops. Together, there are tens of thousands of people directly under Prince Ji's Mansion.
How could Li Shen have so much energy to take care of this? Wang Hongfu was responsible for everything.
Feudal society has its benefits. Li Shen is not worried about these people trying to seize his property, embezzling or accepting bribes, etc.
Li Shen can understand small mistakes, but Li Shen won't be angry when Wang Hongfu embezzles a small amount of money every year.
If you make a big mistake, you will be killed and all your property will be confiscated.
You said that you conspired with others to defraud me of my money, but in the end you just quit?
how can that be possible? To make money, you have to have life to spend it.
Moreover, people at this time are more loyal to the strong. As long as Li Shen remains rich and powerful, has a big tree on his back, and does not make mistakes, these people will not betray him.
Not long after, the three giants from Prince Ji's Mansion appeared in Li Shen's study.
"See you, Your Majesty."
"Well, everyone, sit down. We haven't had a meeting for a long time, and we just happened to have one today.
Let’s discuss the five-year development plan issued by Prince Ji’s Mansion. "
Li Shen smiled and waved to several people. He felt that Prince Ji's Mansion should start to act in a planned way.
(I am in the advanced stage of lazy cancer. I used to correct typos every day, but now I correct them every three days.
And now the updates are getting later every day, it’s over and there’s no hope. )
