In recent years, Datang's national power has become stronger and its economy has prospered.
Just after Li Shimin decided to build highways across the country to promote economic and cultural exchanges across the country.
When the news was announced, the entire city of Chang'an was excited. People rushed to tell each other and were very excited. They realized that the construction of the highway would bring huge changes to their lives.
Even the people of the entire Tang Dynasty received the news in just two days.
News about highways can be obtained even from places far away.
Li Shimin was a little surprised by the people's reaction. He originally thought that this decision would cause some controversy, but he did not expect that people had such high expectations for the expressway.
So Li Shimin came to Fang Xuanling and asked him: "I heard that the response from the public to the expressway is very enthusiastic?"
Fang Xuanling replied: "Yes, Your Majesty. After the announcement, everyone was full of hope. In the future, they hope to get more convenience and benefits from the construction of the expressway."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said: "It seems that this decision is correct. The support of the people is our biggest motivation. You must organize manpower and material resources as soon as possible to ensure that the construction of the highway proceeds smoothly."
Fang Xuanling replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am already making arrangements!"
"That's good!" Li Shimin nodded approvingly, and then added, "I want to visit our factory. You can come with me."
Fang Xuanling took the order and said: "Yes! When will we set off?"
"Now!" Li Shimin said, already standing up.
"Yes!" Fang Xuanling also stood up, followed Li Shimin, got into the car, and headed to the court's factory.
They rode the carriage and drove slowly towards the factory outside the city. The scenery along the way was bustling and lively, the market was bustling with people and traffic. Suddenly, a group of people rushed towards the emperor's chariot, their faces filled with joy and gratitude.
smile.
This sudden situation made both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling a little panicked. After all, being surrounded by tens of thousands of people made them feel a little nervous. The guards around them were also highly vigilant, holding weapons tightly in their hands, ready to respond at any time.
emergencies.
The leading guard shouted loudly: "Stop! You can't go any further, otherwise we won't be polite." After saying that, all the guards took action and formed a human wall to protect Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling's cars.
middle.
At this moment, the people retreated one after another, and the leader stood up and knelt down directly. When the others saw this, they also knelt down.
Li Shimin was very puzzled and didn't understand why these people were kneeling. He had never encountered such a situation before. Just when he was confused, a commoner spoke. It turned out that they came to thank Li Shimin.
The commoner continued: "Your Majesty, thank you for building the highway for us. This highway has made our travel more convenient. We have been looking forward to such a good thing, but we did not expect it to come true. This is really our blessing.
ah
After hearing what the people said, Li Shimin finally understood their purpose. He smiled and said: "This is what I should do. I hope to bring more blessings to you."
Then someone else said: "Your Majesty! With your incomparable wisdom and kindness, you have built a road to prosperity for us. Your generosity and love have brought about earth-shaking changes in our lives."
"Your Majesty, the roads you built for us have made our travel convenient and fast. We no longer worry that the muddy roads will hinder our progress, because your roads are smooth."
"Your Majesty, the roads you built for us not only facilitate our travel, but also bring great help to our economic development. Now, we can easily transport our products to the market and trade with other places.
"
"Your Majesty, the roads you built for us have also brought us closer to the outside world. We can have friendly exchanges with neighboring countries through the roads and enhance mutual understanding and friendship."
Li Shimin walked out of the car, followed by Fang Xuanling.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "I am very happy to see that you are happy and grateful because of my decision. Building roads is what I should do as your Majesty. I hope that through these roads, I can bring more opportunities to you in the future."
and hope.”
Fang Xuanling also said from the side: "His Majesty has always cared about the people. In order to make everyone's life better, he has made a lot of efforts."
The people were even more moved when they heard Fang Xuanling's words. They all said: "Your Majesty and Mr. Fang are really our good parents and officials!"
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were filled with joy when they heard the people's praise.
Especially Li Shimin, he had never felt like this before, but today he felt very happy. It turns out that compared to power, this feeling makes people more obsessed with it.
No wonder Li Min has been doing such a thing.
This feeling is really very happy.
Li Shimin faced the people in front of him and said emotionally: "My people, I have been committed to creating a better living environment for you so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. In the future, if you have any ideas, you can tell me directly."
Li Shimin's words were full of benevolence and responsibility, showing the style of a wise king.
When the people heard Li Shimin's words, they were deeply moved and knelt down and kowtowed in thanks. Their eyes were filled with tears, and their hearts were filled with gratitude and respect for the emperor. Upon seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly asked the guards to help the people up. His
His heart was also filled with joy and pride. He knew that his efforts had been recognized by the people, which was the greatest affirmation for him.
Seeing this scene, Fang Xuanling said with emotion: "His Majesty has always cared about the people and made a lot of efforts to make everyone's lives better. Now, His Majesty's kindness and dedication have finally been rewarded. This is really something worth celebrating.
It’s something!”

, I also feel extremely gratified in my heart.”
The people were so moved that they all said: "Your Majesty is really our good Majesty!"
Li Shimin smiled and nodded gently, and said in a kind tone: "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded in unison, and then stood up one after another.
Li Shimin looked at everyone and then said: "I still have some government affairs to deal with, so let's get here first today." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Best farewell to Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted in unison again and watched the carriage that Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were riding in slowly go away.
Li Shimin looked very excited in the car.
Because this may be the first time since he became emperor that he has been so warmly welcomed by the people.
Although he had good political achievements in the past, he has always been seriously out of touch with the people in many things, and now he has done such good things that benefit the country and the people.
He actually got the support of the people, which was an improvement for him.
For him, the future is promising, and in the future he will have to think about issues from the perspective of the common people.
to get more support.
In this way, his throne will be more stable.
At the same time, the Tang Dynasty will become more prosperous and prosperous. This is what Li Shimin has in mind.
At this time, he was enjoying himself happily, and Fang Xuanling on the side was also very happy, because the emperor was like this, which was the luck of the Tang Dynasty.
In the car, Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling with a smile on his face: "Fang Xuanling, do you think the highway planning I did is very wise?" His tone was full of pride and expectation, like a man waiting for praise.
child.
This kind of self-praising behavior is quite rare among emperors in the past dynasties, but Li Shimin did not shy away from it. His confidence and straightforwardness showed his cheerful character and firm determination.
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and knew in his heart that he could not go against the emperor's will and could only follow his words. So he respectfully replied: "Your Majesty can think about the people, which is a blessing for all people in the world. If your Majesty can continue
If you do this, it will be a great thing for the people. When the people's happiness increases, Datang's economy will become better, and Datang's national power will become more prosperous."
Hearing Fang Xuanling's response, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied. He knew that Fang Xuanling always made him feel a little unhappy when he mentioned Li Min. Li Min, the driving force behind the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, although he has
Chang'an, but his influence is still there.
"Here we go again." Li Shimin muttered in his heart. He knew that Fang Xuanling mentioned Li Min to remind him that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty did not happen overnight, but required continuous efforts and wise decisions.
Despite this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel happy.
He looked at the sunshine outside the car window and imagined how the planned highways would drive the economic development of the Tang Dynasty and improve the living standards of the people in the future. For him, this was his responsibility and mission as the emperor.
, which was also his promise to the Tang Dynasty and the people.
It can also make Datang’s economy stronger!
Li Shimin took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions. He knew that he could not ignore the overall situation at hand because of his complicated emotions towards Li Min. He turned back to look at Fang Xuanling and said firmly: "Fang Xuanling
, you must supervise the highway next."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know!" Fang Xuanling said quickly.
"Okay, I need to rest for a while. Call me when you get there!" Li Shimin said again.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
The two of them soon arrived at a machinery processing factory five miles away.
Li Shimin asked the escort to move slowly.
He and Fang Xuanling drove forward in the car until they were about a mile away.
Fang Xuanling was about to get off the car and was about to speak.
But Li Shimin said: "No hurry! Don't disturb them."
"His Majesty……"
"Don't make any noise about this. Let's go directly and don't disturb the workers inside!"
Li Shimin said this.
But Fang Xuanling knew what he wanted to do.
Because he wanted to secretly see how the workers in the factory worked.
"yes!"
So, the two of them moved forward.
Their arrival did not attract special attention.
When Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling entered the factory, they discovered a very unpleasant situation.
Many workers do not follow procedures very well.
The management of the entire factory is very chaotic.
Things are piled everywhere and not organized at all.
Looking more closely, the workers did not operate according to the prescribed work procedures, but cut corners. The products they produced also had serious problems and could not meet quality standards at all.
Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened. He felt very angry and disappointed. He originally thought that he could bring more benefits to the people through this project, but now it seems that it is all meaningless.
Fang Xuanling was also shocked and heartbroken. He knew clearly the importance of this project to Datang, but now it was ruined because of the workers' irresponsibility.
After the two were silent for a moment, Li Shimin turned to Fang Xuanling and said, "I didn't expect how this factory could be so chaotic!"
Li Shimin was very depressed.
Why is this happening?
It was a good factory.
How could it be like this.
Li Shimin had been to Li Min's factory before, but it was not like this.
Li Min's factory is very organized, and every link is online.
It was not like today, which made Li Shimin a little embarrassed.
Why is this so.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"If I hadn't come here to take a look, I wouldn't have known that something like this happened here." Li Shimin added.
Obviously, he was a little angry.
"Yes, Your Majesty! They did not do this well." Fang Xuanling could only say this. Judging from his chat with Li Shimin, it felt like he had done something wrong.
But it's obviously not his problem.
It's not like he's responsible for this.
Li Shimin looked at these workers and was very disappointed.
He added: "Fang Xuanling, we must take immediate measures. This project is not only to build a highway, but also to improve Datang's national strength and economic development. Now because of the workers' irresponsibility, our plan has been blocked
Seriously delayed.”
Fang Xuanling nodded, knowing that everything Li Shimin said was correct. He said: "Your Majesty, we must take action immediately. I suggest that we strengthen the management and supervision of workers, and train and educate them.
Only in this way can we ensure the smooth progress of the project and compliance with quality standards."
"You are right! If possible, we can select talents from Shengtang Group's factories to help us!"
Li Shimin turned his attention to Shengtang Group.
Want to recruit people from Shengtang Group.
Fang Xuanling said at this time: "Your Majesty, that one is difficult!"
"Where are you thinking? I mean to let their people come over to help us sort it out, instead of sending them to us to do work. This is paid, rather than sending their people...forget it, that's about it
of."
It would be very difficult for Li Shimin to recruit people from the Shengtang Group.
But it was relatively simple for the Shengtang Group to recruit people from him.
This is an unfair thing.
He also knows the relationship.
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling kept nodding her head and saying yes.
