Sun Simiao spoke at this time and said:
"Actually, I came here today to ask for something!"
Li Shimin was shocked.
Usually, they were the ones asking for help from Sun Simiao.
How about today?
Why did Sun Simiao take the initiative to beg them?
He is a person who has no demands or desires. This is the first time he takes the initiative to ask for something.
Everyone also wanted to know what happened and what he wanted to ask for.
Li Shimin wants to know even more.
So he asked:
"Master Sun, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be so polite. As long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you!"
Li Shimin was a good man, so he didn't agree directly, but said he could do it. Otherwise, if he finished his words and couldn't finish them, it would be very embarrassing. As an emperor, this is the basic way of speaking.
Maybe I've suffered a loss before.
"Your Majesty, you can definitely do this! And it will be beneficial to all people in the future!"
Sun Simiao said with great certainty.
A big thing that will benefit all people, I'm afraid it won't be simple.
A building benefits the people, not directly, but indirectly. After all, when the number of people is concentrated, it is easy to manage, efficient, and can be researched faster, so that it can better serve the people, so Sun Simiao said so.
Li Shimin must be thinking, what on earth is going on?
He asked again: "What is that? Tell me!"
Sun Simiao said slowly at this time: "In recent times, the pharmaceutical company where I work has recruited a large number of talents, about a thousand people, to devote themselves to researching new drugs to benefit the Tang Dynasty!"
When he said this, the three people present nodded in approval.
This is indeed beneficial to all people.
"In this regard, your pharmaceutical company has indeed done a good job. I very much agree with your approach. It has also provided a large number of jobs for the public and a large number of favorable conditions for the economic development of Datang."
Regarding this point, Li Shimin agreed very much, but although he praised him, he did not mention a word about Li Min.
Changsun Wuji on the side seemed to realize this.
That is, the relationship between Li Min and Li Shimin is still tense. In this way, there is room for maneuver.
"Your Majesty, you also know that these extra thousand people are very crowded in Shengtang Group. After all, Shengtang Group is a group with four thousand workers. An extra thousand people is equivalent to Five thousand people. There are so many that we can no longer house them.”
As soon as Sun Simiao's words came out.
Changsun Wuji was shocked and frowned.
"Master Sun, what are you talking about? There are 5,000 people in the Shengtang Group?"
Five thousand people! That's not a little bit.
It took less than half a year to go from a dozen people at the beginning to 5,000 people now. How did Li Min do it?
"Yes, five thousand people! According to the wishes of the Sixth Prince, we will recruit another ten thousand people! Otherwise, nothing can be done!"
That’s fifteen thousand people! Then Li Min's Shengtang Group can be regarded as the sixth largest family in Chang'an.
In Chang'an alone, the size of the five major aristocratic families in the entire Tang Dynasty is not comparable to that of Li Min, but given time, they will definitely be able to do it!
"this……"
That's not just a big business territory, it's simply a business empire.
Li Min was so powerful that he could recruit 5,000 people in just half a year and feed them.
You know, in this era, how difficult it is just to feed a child.
However, it took Li Min half a year to feed 5,000 people. In fact, the number was even higher, 5,000 people, 5,000 families, plus the development of the surrounding economy.
Not to mention too many, there must be enough to support 30,000 people.
Is that human being?
"Wuji let Master Sun continue!"
Li Shimin interrupted.
He signaled Sun Simiao to continue.
"Then, Shengtang Group's land is completely insufficient."
"Did he ask you to let me approve the land? If so, he can go to the Ministry of Industry directly and someone will naturally handle it. I can't make the decision!"
Li Shimin asked directly.
How could there be such an emperor?
Obviously what Li Min did was for the Tang Dynasty, but he behaved like this.
"No, I'm here this time not because of the Sixth Prince's intention, but because I think it's necessary for me to come here. And it's not to get land, but to get an approval document for building a house from His Majesty!"
In ancient times, especially in Chang'an City, not all houses you wanted to build were built, but the court's approval was required before construction could begin.
If the court does not agree and you build it again, then sorry, someone will naturally knock down your house, and some will fine you or even put you in jail.
Therefore, this procedure is essential.
"When it comes to building a house, you should go to the Ministry of Industry. For such a small matter, there is no need to say anything."
Li Shimin still didn't care.
But Sun Simiao said: "Your Majesty, this time is no small matter. The house the Sixth Prince wants to build is as high as thirty floors!"
As soon as Sun Simiao said this, the cup in Li Shimin's hand almost fell to the ground.
He was shocked.
"Thirty floors? The buildings in my Tang Dynasty can only have fifteen floors at most, right? Is he crazy?"
Li Shimin obviously didn't believe it.
Furthermore, if such a tall guy is really created, his palace will lose its momentum. He is worthy of being an emperor, but he still has to look up at Li Min and look up to him?
So he didn't approve of it in his heart.
Changsun Wuji even said: "Is he probably suffering from a hypothetical disease? How can he build a thirty-story building! Even Yan Lide can't build a thirty-story building, right?"
Yan Lide, as mentioned by Chang Sun Wuji, was born in Chang'an and came from an engineering family. He was good at architecture, craftsmanship and painting. In the early years of Wude's reign, he was awarded the title of Cao, a minister of the King of Qin (Li Shimin), to join the army and moved to Shangyi to serve the emperor. During the Zhenguan period, he successively served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, including General Shaojiang, Jiangzuo Dajiang, etc. Now that he has resigned, he rarely goes out.
He was ordered to build the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, supervise the construction of Cuiwei and Yuhua palaces, build the Zhaoling Mausoleum, and preside over the construction of the outer walls and towers of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.
Regarding him, he was an extremely famous architect in the Tang Dynasty at that time.
When Changsun Wuji talked about him, he wanted to compare him with Li Min.
"Duke Qi, I think a sixth prince can be created!"
"Your Majesty, Li Min will not do anything that is uncertain. I think this matter should be carefully considered."
Queen Changsun expressed.
She tends to believe Li Min.
Since Li Min wants to do it, he must have his reasons.
In addition, Sun Simiao took the initiative to mention it.
Li Shimin had no reason not to consider it.
So you need to think about this matter carefully.
"I don't believe it anyway, why not let Yan Lide witness it?"
Changsun Wuji said so.
"I thought this was feasible. I agreed rashly without verifying everything. I'm afraid it's not the result I want."
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to agree.
Therefore, let Yan Lide come over to witness it. If Yan Lide says it can't be done, then it won't be done.
Everything should be pushed to Yan Lide, and he, Li Shimin, has no responsibility at all.
