The 146th chapter in the spring (3)

In fact, there were also many discussions in the court about the investment of the inner government to expand the Yong'an Palace. A group of censors and censors used the past to commit suicide in the Golden Palace, and the opinions of various factions were very disagreeable. Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng completely opposed it. Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji agreed with Li Shimin's filial piety, and as for the generals, they remained silent. For a while, Li Shimin's heart was also up and down, but this matter must be done, mainly to find a good reason!

Li Shimin quickly sent Ning Wen and stared at the inner palace. Li Shimin also complained about Li Tai. The inner palace has always been low-key, but after Li Tai arrived, he extended the tentacles of the inner palace to all industries, so that the Guanlong family and the upstarts were very unhappy. He repeatedly complained to Li Shimin indirectly. Li Shimin also advised Li Tai many times, but unfortunately he had little effect.

"Qingque, I'm a little worried. Now that the inner palace has become the target of public criticism, can my son have a way to resolve it?"

It was also a good idea to knock Li Tai. Li Tai was tactful and quickly admitted his mistake to his old man. Of course, he also pushed the mistake to the people under his charge.

"Father, I should restrain myself. I think that those aristocratic families control the world, which is quite excessive. A few days ago, I made a huge profit of more than 3,000 yuan for a season of vegetables. I think it's time to rectify it."

Li Tai quickly opened up the topic and knew what he liked to listen to and what he was interested in. If he had any harm to the people and had enough money, Li Shimin would be very angry and was also jealous of others making money. Li Tai was still inexperienced and was one step too late to let others eat meat and drink soup, and then chew the remaining bones himself. How could Li Tai swallow this tone?

"Oh, there is such a huge profit? Qingque, when he goes back, he writes this matter into a memorial. I will discuss this matter with the ministers tomorrow morning! My conscience is eaten by the dog!"

Li Shimin was indeed angry. The status of a merchant can be seen. It is understandable that vendors buy low and sell high. Moreover, the weather is getting warmer, and large-scale vegetables will definitely dilute the price. Li Shimin would not have thought that this is also the ability of other merchants. How can there be a conscience? If Li Shimin had seen the actions of those bad bosses in later generations, he would probably not be able to relieve his hatred if he beheaded all his heads!

"My son has written it down!"

The two father and son decided the future of the merchants as soon as they planned. Li Shimin didn't say anything to Li Tai. Unexpectedly, this incident caused an uproar in the court. After all, it touched the interests of each family. Although the Guanlong family was in unison with Li Shimin, they were also a little resentful. Changsun Wuji secretly complained that Li Shimin did not give him a word and allowed all civil and military officials in the court to whisper. The scene was quite embarrassing for a moment.

Fortunately, Changsun Wuji quickly turned around and understood that Li Shimin was just using this matter to shake the tiger. Isn’t it that the inner government was making money too much? Look, these aristocratic families are not making money without conscience. You just opened your mouth and dared to sell a cabbage for ten cents. The inner government wouldn’t be so shameless.

So Changsun Wuji took a step and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I believe that it is related to people's livelihood. A group of criminals should be called to the Ministry of Justice for strict interrogation, and confiscated the huge profits. Only in this way can we serve as a warning!"

Changsun Wuji spoke, and the court, which was still chaotic just now, returned to order. For a moment, everyone was chewing on what Changsun Wuji said meant.

Li Shimin nodded, and his heart was also happy. My uncle was indeed smart. In this blink of an eye, he understood what he meant. It was good.

"As far as Changsun Pushe said, where is the Minister of Justice?"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of Justice, came out to answer:

"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly and then said:

"What will the Ministry of Justice plan to deal with such a treacherous and unscrupulous person?"

Liu Zhenghui wiped the sweat from his forehead. This matter was really hard to deal with. He was a wealthy family who could not afford to offend him. He worked hard to manage the position of Minister of Justice for half a lifetime. He never thought that he would encounter this matter.

"Your Majesty, my husband will definitely deal with it impartially. First, arrest the criminals. If the facts are conclusive, deal with it according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"

Liu Zhenghui did not dare to look up. I really don’t remember whether the Tang Dynasty’s law had any such statement, but Li Shimin seemed a little happy to achieve his goal.

For a time, civil and military officials started to discuss it again, as if they had mixed opinions about Li Shimin's decision, and they all looked at Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and other prime ministers standing in front.

Anyway, after a long stalemate, Fang Xuanling finally spoke, worthy of being the prime minister, and even combined the expansion of Yong'an Palace with the opposition to unscrupulous merchants, using Li Shimin to respect the old man to criticize the conscience of the merchants. At the same time, he said that a noble family should restrain his subordinates and not do such inhuman things. So the people led by the noble family did not speak. They all felt that Li Shimin was taking advantage of the situation today, and the main purpose was to pass the bill to expand Yong'an Palace.

Then Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and other loyal ministers stepped on the censors with opinions and quickly unified their thoughts. So Li Shimin happily issued an edict to expand the Yong'an Palace, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the behavior of the inner government. Li Shimin also cleverly reminded all the officials that their interests should be respected, and Li Shimin also promised not to use the funds from the treasury. Of course, in order to show respect to the Supreme Emperor, the ministers agreed to allocate part of the funds from the treasury to support the expansion of the Yong'an Palace, so a harmonious appearance was restored in the court. Only one of the censors looked gray and seemed to feel that the Tang Dynasty was about to be over.

Ning Wen did not know the farce that appeared in the court. Instead, he stayed in the weapon supervisor honestly, planned the development model of the weapon supervisor and the overall planning of the forty-mile land. It was a headache. The planning of the underground pipeline alone was a problem. It was not only a problem with the sewer, but also the idea of ​​pipes and tap water was denied. It was a try anyway. First, the planning was in place. As for whether it could be used in the future, let’s talk about it.

Wastewater pipelines are the key points. Coking, iron smelting and steel smelting all produce a large amount of wastewater. Moreover, these wastewater cannot be used at all according to current technical capabilities and have to be discharged. In order not to affect the water quality of Qujiang, Ning Wen plans to build a special drainage channel to directly introduce the wastewater into the Ba River, and he does not care about pollution. At the same time, biogas tanks are also necessary. Although they cannot be used, they are always planning, foresight and forward-looking.

The cement still needs to be burned, and it’s no pity to keep so much water slag, but Ning Wen is not sure about the quality of the cement fired, but he always has to try it out, mainly for road construction and building a house is avoided. It’s dangerous. If the strength is not enough, the house collapses, it will be a life-threatening thing.

After these three factories were built, the entire industrial concentration area felt very spectacular, but there was no funding yet, and this problem has troubled Ning Wen.

In order to make money, Ning Wen racked his brains to find a way. It was no longer the Ning family's business, but the development of the entire weapon supervision requires Ning Wen to find a way to make money. The weapon supervision cannot find investors. Ning Wen also planned to lobby the Cui family and Pei family at first, and even thought of Yuan Huai. Unfortunately, this is an impossible task. After all, it is a weapon supervision, and after all, it is the most cutting-edge factory in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin would never agree.

Ning Wen paced back and forth in the Weapons Supervisory Campus with his hands behind his back, using the wide venue here to reverse his impatient mood and circled around Ning Wen with the warm spring breeze. Seeing a group of craftsmen working in groups of three or three, a sound of knocking on iron tools from time to time came from the workshop. Ning Wen gradually calmed down his previous excitement. Some things were not transferred by his will, but could only do business with the inner palace, Cui family, Pei family, and Zhenla, and slowly make money. If you think it is too fast, you can't get faster.
