Let’s say that on this day, Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair in the Daming Palace.
Standing in front of me is Dai Zhou.
Dai Zhou took out a stack of paper towards Li Shimin.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, I have already negotiated with the Sixth Prince. The final price is 10 billion taels, and he has agreed. If you also nod, then I will give the order! Next, we will start building the subway for the benefit of the people."
common people.”
This stack of paper contains a lot of information about the subway.
In the past half month or so, Dai Zhou has spent a lot of time with Li Shimin.
He also said that he would look for Li Min every day.
How do you know that all this is fake.
Because Li Min gave him a reserve price.
He earns a price a day, hundreds of millions a day, or even more.
Li Shimin was elated upon hearing this.
I thought Dai Zhou was very reliable in his work.
The price Dai Zhou received from Li Min has always been hidden in his heart.
As long as the bottom price is revealed at the end, this matter will definitely succeed.
And today is the last time.
If you don't show it up, the longer time will drag on and the more detrimental it will be to you.
So, he took out all the things he had prepared before.
After Li Shimin saw it, he was quite shocked.
He said: "Dai Zhou, Dai Zhou, I think you did a good job. You were able to make so many things and lower the price by half! I admire you very much! You did a very good job this time."
Dai Zhou felt happy.
All this is what Li Min said.
I didn't expect that I would get such benefits.
Let Li Shimin praise himself for being so good.
You might even give yourself a reward!
Dai Zhou naturally responded as a human being.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do, and I also told the Sixth Prince that this is a project for the people. It can't make us too much money, so that's fine! The Sixth Prince is also very supportive. He said it is indeed the case.
This way, it also gave us a lot of support! This time, even their Shengtang Group will provide additional money. In addition to the subway, they will also build some other supporting measures, such as underground shopping malls!"
When he said this, he was trying to please both sides.
On the one hand, it pleased Li Shimin and made Li Shimin have a very good opinion of Li Min.
On the other hand, he just wants to please Li Min.
It also created an image of Li Min serving the country and the people.
This is really wonderful.
Dai Zhou, on the other hand, has the convenience of both ends.
Especially Li Shimin.
"Very good, you did a great job. You are rewarded!"
"This is what I should do!"
Dai Zhou said.
"After the New Year, I will grant you the title of Duke!"
Li Shimin said suddenly.
As soon as these words came out, Dai Zhou was very happy.
It turns out that being an official can be so comfortable.
This Li Min is really no ordinary person.
Why didn't I discuss this matter with Li Min earlier?
If it had been discussed earlier, he might have been the Duke of the country long ago.
At the same time, I was thinking why I didn't meet Li Min earlier.
I should learn to be an official from him as soon as possible.
In the past two years, Dai Zhou has benefited a lot because of Li Min's incident.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dai Zhou said immediately.
Since Li Shimin mentioned this, it will definitely come true.
before that.
Li Shimin added: "Then, you have to take care of the subway matter and let Duan Lun come with you, you know?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job!"
Dai Zhou said very happily.
"One more thing, the shopping mall you mentioned is probably going to be a place where huge profits will be made, so you understand!"
"I understand that for such a benefit, I must ask for it from the Sixth Prince!"
When it comes to asking, not requesting, this Dai Zhou really knows how to put in good words in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin became very satisfied.
"Okay, you can go directly to get the approval of these documents. It's best to start work in the spring! Do you understand?"
Then Li Shimin nodded, and it was done!
Next, Dai Zhou was waiting for his official position.
From now on, his words also carry a lot of weight.
"Yes! I will deal with it now!"
After Dai Zhou finished speaking, he retreated.
"etc!"
"Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
"There are some other things that you should also listen to."
Li Shimin said suddenly.
"yes!"
Although Dai Zhou didn't know what it was, it must be something big.
So, he stood there.
Many officials entered the palace together.
Among them was Fang Xuanling.
It seems that the last time I discussed state affairs with Fang Xuanling was just two days ago.
Today he is here again, there must be something going on at the border again.
as expected.
As soon as Fang Xuanling arrived, he said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the King of Baekje is really too arrogant and crazy!"
"oh?"
Li Shimin was puzzled.
"tell me the story!"
"At this time, Buyeo Yiji has swallowed up more than half of Silla's territory. He is so confident that he is now threatening to make Datang a tributary!"
Fang Xuanling said.
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was shocked.
"Did he really say that?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the news reported by our spies, it is absolutely true!"
Fang Xuanling said.
"This boy is so courageous!"
"Your Majesty, I think we can withdraw our troops from Goguryeo! Let Gao Jianwu go to Baekje to kill his majesty! Moreover, we can save a lot of troops."
Dai Zhou said suddenly.
Regarding Li Shimin's decision to let the army suppress the border, Dai Zhou had always been opposed to it.
Because it costs too much money, Dai Zhou has always been cautious about money.
It's also because Li Shimin loves spending money too much.
Some money needs to be well controlled.
But now the opportunity has come. If you retreat, you can spend less money.
All this is because of Fuyu Yici's self-righteousness.
Then let the Tang army come back.
It's really wonderful to kill two birds with one stone in this way.
Fang Xuanling also said: "I think so. It will snow heavily in a while. If the soldiers are still there, I'm afraid it will be a problem to survive the winter. Therefore, I think we can withdraw the troops and come back."
If Li Shimin retreats, Goguryeo will definitely attack Baekje.
This was what they had in mind, because they believed that it must be because of the Tang army that Goguryeo did not dare to go south.
Who knew that all this was because of Li Min?
It was Li Min who kept Gao Jianwu from going south.
Everything still needs to be done by Li Min.
Li Shimin's army is really nothing.
It's not that the Tang army isn't strong enough, but because the distance is too far, it doesn't pose much of a threat to them.
"Forget it, send the order and ask Yuchi Jingde to move the Tang Dynasty back fifty miles!"
Li Shimin ordered.
There is no difference between retreating fifty miles and retreating completely.
If we retreat completely, it will be very difficult to send out troops again.
But if you retreat fifty miles, you can still attack.
When Li Shimin gave the order, all the officials shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Indeed, it was indeed wise for Li Shimin to do this.
Little did he know that by doing this, he could not let Gao Jianwu go south.
After that, Dai Zhou left Daming Palace and headed towards the Tang Tower.
