"Zhijie, tell me again, he really made 20 million taels in just one afternoon!?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yaojin told everything about what just happened.
This made Li Shimin pat his thigh.
"This kid, I didn't expect it. I thought I had earned enough, but I didn't expect that he would be even more ruthless! Twenty million taels is not a small amount."
Qin Qiong said: "But more than 10 million are used to pay workers' wages! Can't that money be considered earned?"
"That money is the Wang family's money, and he even paid two million taels!"
Cheng Yaojin said again.
"You just have such poor vision!"
Li Shimin said this.
At this time, the two of them were confused.
"Your Majesty, why do you say that?"
They both asked in unison.
"Think about it, if you now have 10 million taels, which can be divided into ten years and spent, then would you choose to store the money somewhere or use it for other things?"
The two of them suddenly realized.
“Can be used to make money with money!”
Cheng Yaojin said so.
Big money can make small money very quickly, in comparison.
Furthermore, Li Shimin added: "Moreover, he also got more than 10,000 laborers for free. These laborers are of no use to the Wang family, but for the Shengtang Group, they are a treasure! He can increase production,
Then expand sales and make more money! This is achieved at a very small cost!"
After what Li Shimin said, the two of them finally understood.
It turns out that Li Min is the master.
If Li Shimin hadn't said that, they wouldn't have known that the story behind it was like this.
Li Min is probably the only one who can fool everyone into applauding.
At this time, Qin Qiong suddenly spoke.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that the Sixth Prince has also contacted the Lu Cui Family and seems to want to expand the bicycle store!"
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this.
"This kid, I originally thought highly of him, but unexpectedly I underestimated him a little!"
"How to say?"
Cheng Yaojin asked puzzledly.
"The Lu family's cars and boats are popular all over the world. If the Lu family joins, basically Shengtang Group can sell as many bicycles as it produces. Not to mention ten years, even twenty years, the bicycle industry will still be popular!
"
Li Shimin responded.
Cheng Yaojin took the opportunity to say: "How about letting the Sixth Prince come back? In that case, the strength of the imperial court will be greatly increased!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I believe that you are father and son, and there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome between father and son!"
Unexpectedly, when the two of them spoke, Li Shimin became unhappy.
"Don't say any more about this matter! Unless that kid comes to the palace to apologize to me, he will never come to the palace in his life!"
If he knew that Li Min was living happily now and didn't want to enter the palace at all, he would probably be furious to death, right?
But in the eyes of others, if Li Min came back, it would not be of much help to Li Shimin.
But the question arises again, after returning, who will be the prince?
Let such a talented person go and just let him be a sixth prince? Instead of a prince?
This time, I'm afraid the whole court will be turned upside down.
The two of them stopped trying to persuade Li Shimin.
Then, Li Shimin asked: "How is the situation of Xue Rengui's people?"
"Your Majesty...the Sixth Prince still refuses to let go. He must give Xue Rengui a high official position!"
"It seems that this matter can't be rushed! But it doesn't matter. One day, I will get Xue Rengui!"
"Your Majesty, if the sixth prince enters the palace, won't Xue Rengui also belong to my court?"
Cheng Yaojin said, not wanting to give up yet.
"Okay, Zhijie, don't say anything. I know what you want to say. You can step back!"
Faced with Li Shimin's persistence.
Cheng Yaojin was about to retreat.
Suddenly a eunuch came to say: "Your Majesty! Dukes of Qi, Dukes of Wei, and Yan Lide have arrived!"
"Let them in!"
Then, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Yan Lide entered the palace.
Cheng Yaojin was puzzled, what did these three people do when they entered the palace?
Especially the guy like Changsun Wuji is here too.
Therefore, Cheng Yaojin was in no hurry to leave.
He wanted to hear what Changsun Wuji wanted to do specifically.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them saluted Li Shimin.
Changsun Wuji asked:
"Your Majesty, I don't know why you let us come into the palace?"
"The Tai Chi Palace is located in a low-lying area. It is humid and hot during heavy rains in the summer, and it is also very cold in the winter. I thought that a new palace could be built to replace the Tai Chi Palace!"
When Li Shimin said this, everyone was shocked.
How can this be changed at will?
Changsun Wuji was the first to bear the brunt.
"Your Majesty, Tai Chi Palace's status is remarkable and cannot be changed!"
Li Shimin said: "I know in my mind whether to build or not to build! You don't need to say more! I have checked Yu Wenkai's discussion and found that Taiji Palace is not suitable as a political center. He mentioned in the book that he asked about the topography of the "Six Yao". If
If the palace is regarded as the body of a dragon, then its northeastern part is the head of the dragon! So, I want to build a new palace there!"
As the chief designer of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, Yu Wenkai had his own unique views.
Recently, Li Shimin had some ideas because Li Min was building a thirty-story building and the Shengtang Group was paying more and more taxes.
Therefore, I want to build a new palace.
After all, based on Li Min's expenditure, if his materials and methods were used, this palace would not cost too much.
Changsun Wuji said nothing.
"Yan Lide, I order you to supervise the construction of the new palace! Use new materials from the Shengtang Group to build the new palace! The new palace must be higher than the buildings of the Shengtang Group!"
Then Li Shimin said again.
It turned out that he had a grudge in his heart. After all, the high-rise buildings of Shengtang Group would make him lose face.
Therefore, this new palace is probably his way of declaring that he is superior to Li Min.
Yan Lide was so frightened that he shouted.
"Your Majesty, the common people don't have time right now. The common people really can't stay away from each other!"
He originally thought that after leaving the palace, he would no longer worry about the affairs of the palace, but Li Shimin kept asking him again and again.
"I don't care! You have to do this!"
Yan Lide was helpless.
Finally, he thought of one person.
He said: "Your Majesty! My brother can come with me!"
"Hmm? Your brother Yan Liben? I think it's okay!"
As the younger brother of Yan Lide, Yan Liben was also good at crafts and ingenuity. He was good at seal script and official calligraphy. He was also good at painting and architecture. His painting lines were strong and powerful, his expression was lifelike, his colors were elegant and calm, his brushwork was more delicate than Gu Kaizhi's, and his character expressions were detailed. He was
At that time, it was listed as a "divine product", and its representative works include "Picture of a Walking Chariot" and "Portraits of Emperors of the Past Dynasties".
"By the way, what about the price of steel and cement?"
Li Shimin suddenly asked again.
"Your Majesty, the price of steel bars is slightly higher than that of iron, but compared to marble, the price of cement is not high!"
Having said that, Li Shimin felt relieved.
I thought Li Min would use it to sell it again, but I didn’t expect that Li Min didn’t have this idea. Why?
Because he wants to build infrastructure, he won't set the price too high and keep it affordable to the people. As long as there is a little profit to sustain his industry, that's fine.
"Very good. Once the new palace is built, the reinforced concrete will also be used on the city wall!"
At present, Shengtang Group's buildings have reached more than ten floors. Such high-level buildings are only made of reinforced concrete.
Therefore, Li Shimin had already acquiesced in the sturdiness of this new material, so he had the idea to use it in city walls and palaces first.
Then, Cheng Yaojin suddenly asked: "What is the name of the new palace?"
Li Shimin did not blame Cheng Yaojin for not leaving.
Instead, he said directly: "I want to name it Daming Palace! What do you think?"
Fang Xuanling, who had been silent all this time, said: "Your Majesty is wise!" The "Da Ming" chapter of "The Book of Songs·Daya" contains: King Wen has a bright virtue, so Heaven has restored King Wu.
Therefore, it is called the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty wants to use the diligence and sagacity of the King of Zhou as an example to encourage himself. How can we take the meaning of the Ming Dynasty!?"
Li Shimin felt relieved and just smiled.
Changsun Wuji said again: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The persistence I had before is completely gone.
As soon as Yan Lide left the palace, he went to the Shengtang Group.
Regarding the construction of the Daming Palace, it will consume too much of his energy. He is here to discuss with Li Min. After all, the emperor's order cannot be violated!
