There were more and more talk in the court. Cheng Yaojin couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly: "Silent, the weather is so hot that it can't block the mouths of you censors, right?"

Cheng Yaojin spoke loudly and everyone immediately calmed down.

After calming down, Li Shimin said: "Cen Wenben, what you mean is that Chang'an not only cannot deduct wages but also needs processing money."

Cen Wenben nodded, "That's what I think."

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked, "What do you think Fang Xiang?"

Fang Xuanling thought for a while before speaking, "Your Majesty, I think this should be the case. The workers voluntarily went to Jingyang to work. Li Zheng gave him more wages and they naturally followed Li Zheng. As for the prices in Chang'an..."

When it comes to prices, Fang Xuanling's words paused.

Wei Zheng stood out of the court and said, "Your Majesty, I think those workshop owners should not deduct wages even if they don't want to process money."

"The weather is hot, and the workers are just trying their best to work. The court is right, and I think I should process money."

That being said, Li Shimin thought of the current prices in Chang'an.

No one works anymore, and there are fewer laborers and fewer goods.

The price has also been much higher.

Li Shimin stood up and said, "Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Cen Wenben went to Ganlu Palace to discuss matters and retired from the court!"

A group of ministers accelerated their pace to leave the steamer-like Tai Chi Hall.

The Tai Chi Hall faces north and south, and now it is just shining by the sun.

As the time approached noon, the entire Tai Chi Hall was like a steamer.

Many ministers rushed to the city gate to buy ice to cool off the heat.

It feels like I'm at risk of being killed by heat when I go to court.

By the way, everyone suffered so much in this weather.

It is said that it is to raise wages for workers.

Will Your Majesty increase his salary?

It was finally cooler when I came to Ganlu Hall, but after noon, the Ganlu Hall was also very hot.

Li Shimin looked at the three of them and asked, "Do you have any solutions to the prices in Chang'an now?"

Fang Xuanling said: "First of all, we need to raise wages for workers."

Du Ruhui said: "Those workshop owners may not be happy."

In fact, the Tang Dynasty's commerce has always been quite free.

There is also very little regulation in the court.

As long as there is no big trouble, I won’t think about it.

There are also secret rules between the workshop and the merchant.

It has always maintained a delicate balance.

Now all the workers are gone.

This balance was immediately broken.

Li Shimin thought to himself and said, "Is there any way to balance prices, get the workers back, and make the workshop owner willing to raise their wages."

Fang Xuanling pondered and refused to speak.

Du Ruhui and Cen Wenben couldn't speak for a while.

Li Shimin said impatiently: "This Li Zheng just doesn't stop. Tell me, isn't it good for him to stay in Jingyang to count the money? I have to do this."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Cen Wenben bowed and watched Li Shimin get angry.

It's normal to have hot weather.

You said that this weather is not irritable?

Li Lizhi came with some iced mung bean soup.

"Father, drink some soup."

Li Lizhi also gave Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Cen Wenben a bowl each.

"Your Highness Princess Xie."

Fang Xuanling and others saluted and thanked each other.

After drinking a bowl of iced mung bean soup, most of Li Shimin's anger was eliminated.

Looking at the sensible Li Lizhi, she couldn't bear to marry her daughter out.

I don't want to be so cheap as a kid Li Zheng.

Li Lizhi said: "Father, the ice is cheaper now, only thirty cents per pound."

Li Shimin looked down at the ice in the food box.

Li Lizhi said: "It is said that Li Zheng found the method of making ice. Now every household in Chang'an can use ice. It is still selling it. The business is very good."

Hearing this, the nameless fire in Li Shimin's heart started to burn again.

No wonder Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong sent Bing over.

It turned out that he was Li, who was selling ice.

Business is booming?

I think Li Zheng made a lot of money this time.

Li Lizhi said: "Father, my daughter thinks to buy more for her younger brother and sister to cool off the heat."

Buying? It’s just giving Li Zheng money, which is not OK!

He, Li Zheng, is so rich.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "Didn't Qingque say he wants as much as he wants? Please ask him for it."

After saying that, Li Shimin's old face turned red.

Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed.

But now the palace is so scarce.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the case in Bashang has been investigated, and the person who should be taken has been arrested and imprisoned. Dali Temple came to memorial to ask if the case can be closed."

Hearing that he was talking about political affairs again, Li Lizhi bowed a little.

Seeing that Princess Changle had left, Du Ruhui also said: "The Changsun family handed over a family member to be dealt with by Dali Temple, and the Cui family in Qinghe also handed over a few people."

Li Shimin calmed down. It seemed that neither Changsun's family nor Qinghe Cui wanted to be involved in this matter too deeply.

"Since that's the case, let Dali Temple close the case. In the future, such matters will be investigated more tightly. Send officials from the provincial government to inspect various places if there is such a thing."

The three of them bowed and replied, "Here."

"After discussing the matter of price, the Secretariat will discuss a charter as soon as possible."

"I'm going to leave."

After everyone left, Li Shimin picked up a piece of ice in the food box.

Eat in your mouth to calm yourself down.

After taking it, I took another sip of tea.

I had tooth pain from eating too much.

Jingyang

Li Tai received the news from the palace and pulled a cart of ice to deliver it to the palace.

Looking back, Li Tai saw Li Zheng with a dark face and said, "It's just some ice, look at what you're anxious about."

"There are a total of 560 kilograms in your account."

"I said you are really caught up in the eyes of money. We have such vulgar relationships with each other."

Li Zheng smiled coldly, "You not only eat and drink for free at my house, but also send it out. This is not friendship, it is a grudge."

Li Tai comforted Li Zheng and said, "Don't worry, I'm not in Chang'an now, and His Highness the Crown Prince is showing off in front of his father. I want to please my father now. When I return to Chang'an, I will ask for benefits from my father. Maybe you can be promoted to the title."

Li Zheng had a stern face, "Okay, Li Tai, not only do you not know how to repay me, but you will also repay your kindness and revenge."

Li Tai smiled and scolded, "Smile, the weather is so good today, go fishing?"

"Don't go!"

Li Tai looked around and asked again: "Li Zheng, someone sent you a message from the palace to impeach you in the court."

Li Zheng: "Not interested."

Li Tai turned a blind eye to Li Zheng's rejection, looked around and asked quietly: "Now the laborers are following you, no one works in Chang'an, and now prices are rising. Tell me what to do in the court to maintain prices, recall laborers, and make those workshop owners willingly raise wages for workers."

After hearing a lot of what Li Tai said, Li Zheng turned his head mechanically and whispered: "Fatty, so you are the undercover agent sent by your father, right?"
