The next day, Li Shimin took a newspaper and read it.
Then he shouted, his voice gradually getting louder.
"Where is Mr. Kong Ying? Let him come over! What is he writing!"
"I'm so angry! Someone is coming! Someone is coming! Where are the people? Where are they all dead!?"
From his tone, you can feel his endless anger.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty!?"
Faced with Li Shimin being so angry, Queen Changsun who was passing by asked.
Behind her was Li Lizhi.
There were several eunuchs who wanted to come over, but later they asked her to withdraw.
When Li Shimin saw Li Lizhi, he was there.
The sound is also quieter.
Why?
Because there were some things that he couldn't speak too loudly, and Li Lizhi was also there to watch.
Some things must be based on facts.
Li Shimin said: "Queen, look at it! Look at what is written in this newspaper!"
After finishing, he handed the newspaper to Queen Changsun.
Then he said:
"Kong Yingda actually wrote about Shengtang Group so well. This is an official newspaper. How can it brag about a private industry? He also boasted about the role of instant noodles because he was afraid that people would not know that this instant noodles importance?
If he really does this, how will I get instant noodles in the future? Wouldn't the price be higher? That is not a good thing for the court. They compete to do this kind of thing, which makes people very speechless.
And here, the newspaper even gave Li Min the highest praise. Look here, it is said that it has solved the problem of feeding five thousand people...
And here, a road was opened with one's own strength. Like a god! So what do you need those nearly ten thousand people for? Have all their efforts been in vain?
Newspapers are pragmatic, not meant to deify! This stuff is complete nonsense! Tell me, can I not be angry? What is he writing! If not, let someone else write it! It really pisses me off! "
Originally Li Shimin wanted to tell more details, but when he saw Li Lizhi in front of him, he stopped. Judging from these few things alone, he wouldn't be that angry.
What made him angry was that he was made to kneel in front of Li Min, made to work, and made to...
When he thought of this, he became angry.
It just so happened that Kong Yingda was doing this in the newspaper, which made him even more angry.
"Your Majesty, calm down, maybe something really happened at that time. These things are not known to us, or is Min'er's ability really powerful? Or is it for other reasons?"
Queen Changsun said.
She believed in Li Min.
It feels like there is nothing wrong with this newspaper reporting this.
But they were the only ones there at that time, and only they knew whether it was yes or no.
When Li Shimin heard this, he calmed down a little.
Queen Changsun said again:
"Besides, the newspaper has already come out, so there's no point in blaming him. But you can give him some advice and tell him not to do it again next time, right?"
"The queen is right, so let's leave it at that! I won't argue with it."
Li Shimin's anger subsided a little.
And suddenly I saw why Queen Changsun was still in the palace?
So he asked: "Queen, why didn't you go to the Shengtang Group?"
Didn't we agree that we were going to join the Shengtang Group? Why are we still in the palace and not going?
He was very puzzled.
Queen Changsun said:
"I originally wanted to say hello to His Majesty before I go!"
"Yes, father and mother came here specially."
Li Lizhi said.
"Okay, forget it and say hello, you go!"
"The concubine has resigned!"
"Go on, go on, be sure to take care of it!"
"yes!"
"By the way, Li Zhi, your work needs to be speeded up!"
Li Shimin suddenly said this again.
"Father, Xue Rengui is not an ordinary person. How can he be so fast?"
"I don't know if he is an ordinary person, but I know he is a man! Do you understand what I am saying?"
When Li Shimin said this, Li Lizhi understood.
She is very smart. Isn't it easy to do some tricks?
"Your Majesty, you..."
Queen Changsun sighed.
"He is the man that beauty likes, and he is also the general that I love. I call him the right one!"
"This... is so inappropriate! She comes from a girl's family..."
"Mother, let's go!"
Li Lizhi quickly pulled Queen Changsun out of the palace.
"Look, this girl can't wait any longer!"
"Father!"
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go!"
"Let's go, don't listen to your father, you know?"
"I know, Queen Mother!"
Li Lizhi said coquettishly.
After that, the two left.
Li Shimin, on the other hand, held the newspaper tightly.
"What on earth is this kid doing? It seems I have to find a way to get back the printing rights for the newspaper! Otherwise, this kid might cause something big!"
But, can Li Shimin print it?
This makes people feel very mysterious.
After all, many things are now in Li Min's hands.
If he wants to print it himself, he will basically spend more money.
Just because of the paper, Li Min was stuck in his neck.
There are many other things.
For example, some proofreaders and typesetting professionals, among which Shengtang Group is the best.
And these people were directly bought out by Shengtang Group.
Their loyalty is evident.
Therefore, it is impossible to poach them away.
And if he really wanted to print, the speed wouldn't be as fast as Li Min's.
You know, Li Min's factory is now equipped with mechanized production.
Li Min used all available energy, such as wind energy, water energy and other energy sources, for his own needs.
Li Shimin had to spend a lot of money just for these things.
He is the leader of a country, and he is also a person who knows how to calculate carefully.
Therefore, he cannot spend this money for the time being.
After weighing it, you can only make excuses.
We’ll talk about everything later.
…
Let’s talk about being in the Shengtang Group.
Li Min also received some news about the palace.
"It's really interesting. Is this the kind of information the Emperor just wants to tell you?"
In front of him was an old eunuch.
He was talking to him about some things in the palace.
The old eunuch nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that's all the Emperor told me."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Zhu Shan!"
"exist!"
"Take him to collect the reward!"
He, Li Min, would not be stingy with these people.
Whatever should be given to them, he would give it to them.
Therefore, everyone also likes to run here.
"yes!"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zili, can you exchange the reward for worry-free wine?"
The eunuch said so.
"Okay, Zhu Shan, go get ten jugs of wine and bring it to him!"
"Thank you Mr. Zili!"
The eunuch was delighted.
Thank you quickly.
"yes!"
After the eunuch bowed to Li Min, he went out.
Ji Ruxue walked over.
"Mr. Zili, if Li Chengqian leaves Liangzhou and relies on the three things of our Shengtang Group, I'm afraid that the Tuyuhun people will be repulsed by then, and by then, the crown prince's position will be his. "
It turned out that the news he got from Li Yuan was that Li Chengqian was going to Liangzhou, and he wanted Li Jing to come with him.
As a result, if there is no one who has been there for a year and a half, I am afraid that he will not come back.
This is a one-time trip, and it’s not a pleasure.
"Yes, that's it."
Li Min said he had no special feeling.
Ji Ruxue made an opinion at this time:
"Then shall we guard one thing? Let him lack one and be unable to guard it?"
They all knew about the three treasures.
That's why Ji Ruxue said this.
If Li Chengqian really cannot successfully defend Liangzhou, it will be a big problem.
In addition to hot air balloons, things like instant noodles and telescopes are also available.
In fact, there is a better weapon, but Li Min hasn't researched it yet.
Otherwise, with it, how could Datang have enemies?
Regarding Ji Ruxue's proposal.
"Ruxue, do you think I care about the position of the prince?"
Li Min asked back.
Ji Ruxue remained silent.
Yes, Li Min really didn't care about the position of prince.
Su Mei and Wu Jue were also present.
Su Mei first said: "Then the position of prince should not be given to anyone, but not to Li Chengqian! If it is given to him again, I am afraid it will be detrimental to us!"
After finally getting rid of Li Chengqian's crown prince position, it would not be a good thing for Li Min if he was restored.
Of course, this is what everyone thinks.
Li Min didn't take it seriously.
Wu Jue said calmly: "Since Mr. Zili has chosen to come here, there is no reason to go back. Therefore, it doesn't matter who the position belongs to! I also think it can't be Li Chengqian's!"
It can be said that these three women do not understand themselves at this point.
Therefore, Li Min said: "I will not go back, so it has nothing to do with me who is the prince! Secondly, regarding matters of great right and wrong, I support what he does. As long as the foreign enemies can be cleared out of the pass, So, why not give them something? And even if Li Chengqian wants to go against me, what will happen? There is no way he can succeed. His tricks are just like playing in front of me. "
This is what Li Min said.
But it still makes people feel very worried.
"Li Chengqian can take advantage of the imperial power, but Mr. Zili is just a prince living among the people. For people with imperial power, this is a great disadvantage! So, I thought..."
Ji Ruxue analyzed this.
What she said made the two women worried.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay! What can he do to me? No matter how strong he is, he is just a prince, with the emperor on top of his head. What does he mean by being a prince? And his life is not as good as mine. He spends a month I can earn money in an instant. What do you think of his sense of superiority? He doesn’t need money, and he doesn’t even need people! He can’t do anything except trickery."
What Li Min said made all the girls speechless.
Yes, nothing wrong.
For some ordinary people, the prince is indeed good.
But for Li Min, the prince was a constraint.
He had no will at all.
He is also someone who can ignore the prince.
Even if Li Chengqian becomes the prince, so what?
He didn't even notice Li Shimin anymore.
He also asked Li Shimin to kneel down in front of him, what else did he have to fear?
Finally, he didn't want to say too much on this issue.
"Okay, don't think about it. I let you know the news in the palace just so that you don't have to worry too much.
At the same time, we also want you to slowly master the core things of Shengtang Group. In the future, I hope you can all take charge of your own role! "
In this way, Li Min is going to delegate power to these three women.
But why is there no Kong Jingting?
On the one hand, it's because this woman is Kong Yingda's granddaughter. It would certainly be bad if she interfered too much.
She is not like Su Mei and Wu Jue, whose fathers are out of town.
On the other hand, this woman does not seem to be strong in leadership.
As a researcher, she is very good at medical skills.
Some people are not born to be leaders.
"Got it! We got it!"
The three of them said in unison.
"Report!"
"come in!"
"Mr. Zili, Duke Dai is here!"
At this time Zhu Shan walked in from outside.
Li Jing came to see him at this time, something must have happened.
It probably wasn't about the fireworks, because after arriving at the tenement building yesterday, he would order people to send out the fireworks.
Also yesterday, sporadic fireworks were set off in Chang'an City.
These are the fireworks he sold.
But in the Wang family, there was no setting off.
The fireworks had been dismantled into pieces.
There are many people working on it.
At the same time, something happened last night. During the research process, the Wang family did not pay attention to the candles at night, causing fireworks to be ignited and almost burning down the entire house.
This made Wang Yang furious.
In the end, I had to spend some money to buy a few more boxes.
Speaking of Li Jing, what on earth are you looking for Li Min for?
He didn't know either, so he told Zhu Shan:
"Oh? Let him in!"
"Mr. Zili, you have guests coming, let's get out of the way first!"
Ji Ruxue said.
"Okay, you go down! I'll look for you one by one later!"
"yes!"
The three women went out.
After a while, Li Jing came.
"Duke, come on, come on, please sit down!"
Li Min asked Li Jing to sit down.
Li Jing quickly saluted him.
After this period of time together.
Li Jing understood who Li Min was and was shocked by some of his power.
At the same time, the incident of Li Shimin and Li Min kneeling down was also quite shocking.
What's especially special is that he actually ignored his own safety and rose directly into the air to scatter the snow on the mountain.
So that people can go home.
Let yourself come back too.
Li Min is a being who combines strategy and courage.
"Li Jing has met Mr. Zili!"
"You're welcome, what kind of tea do you want to drink? I'll let someone make it!"
"Whatever!"
"Zhu Shan, go prepare a cup of our new milk tea and come over to have a drink with Duke Dai!"
"yes!"
Zhu Shan went to work now.
Then, he went inside with a cup of milk tea.
Li Jing drank and praised. Finally, he looked away, as if he had something to say.
Li Min knew very well that there must be something wrong with this guy.
Then he asked: "Duke Daiguo, why did you come here this time?"
Li Jing still owed Li Min a favor last time, and this time he came to the Shengtang Group to ask for help. Li Jing could not express his demands naturally.
Therefore, he hesitated and said: "Actually...actually..."
"Did Duke Dai come here for instant noodles?"
Li Min asked directly.
This shocked Li Jing.
"You...how do you know?"
He asked strangely.
"You asked for fireworks, and I got them. If you want seasonings, I'll give them to you. Besides instant noodles, what else can you want?"
In fact, Li Min had already understood Li Jing's intention.
Because he found it.
"Mr. Zili is really a man of great powers."
"Hahaha, he asked you to come, right?"
Li Min asked bluntly.
Li Jing was silent.
His expression was a bit awkward.
"Forget it, I don't want to know who asked you to come. Tell me, what do you want? Is it a formula? Or something else?"
Li Jing felt as if he had been stripped naked. He couldn't hide anything in front of Li Min.
But due to Li Shimin's pressure.
He could only choose to explain his words.
"It's like this. Your Majesty wants half of Shengtang Group's instant noodles production capacity. I wonder if that's possible..."
"Yes, of course! Five coins per package!"
This is the price Li Min came up with after comparing the price of modern instant noodles with the price of rice.
At this time, the price of a pound of white noodles was three cents, and his 2 taels of instant noodles, plus some vegetables and meat, had to be packaged together, and the cost of people was added, which was almost two cents. He sold it for five cents and earned Sanwen, we must be careful to prevent the price increase of raw materials.
Moreover, there is still investment from the factory, so you will basically not make any money in the early stage.
In the later period, you can only make money through huge quantities.
It can be said that instant noodles are the least profitable among the Shengtang Group.
Any piece of colored glass could kill it in seconds, but he would still do it.
Because this is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.
People are like water, and water can carry a boat or capsize it.
After calculation, five coins is very cheap.
"Really? That's great!"
Li Jing agreed wholeheartedly.
You can feel that he has researched this instant noodles.
It was also because he knew that if he negotiated the price with Li Min, he might be unhappy.
"Why don't you negotiate a lower price?"
Li Min asked curiously.
"I believe Mr. Zili will not cheat the court! This price must be the most affordable. And when you took out so many instant noodles for the people to eat at once, it proved that it will not be very expensive."
Li Min smiled.
"That's right. You're right. I don't need to trick you. By the way, my current production capacity is 200,000 packs a day! Six million packs a month! Half of it is three million packs, and one pack costs five cents. Fifteen thousand taels of silver. This is only the early stage. In the later stage, I will expand and increase the output a hundred times. That will be one hundred and fifty taels in that month!"
Li Jing was quite shocked. He didn't expect Li Min to calculate the price verbally.
This speed is too amazing.
But Li Min said, isn’t this just a matter of words?
What's so great about it?
"In this case, I will go back to the palace and talk to His Majesty about this matter! Your Majesty said that no matter how much it is, I want it!"
Li Jing expressed.
Doing the math, it’s actually not much.
An army sometimes consists of 100,000 people.
Soldiers in the army can eat it, and one person may have to eat two packs.
At this rate, 400,000 packages will be eaten in a day.
In one month, 12 million packets will be eaten.
And the number of soldiers in the entire Tang Dynasty was more than this.
Therefore, if we really want to promote it, the gap is still huge.
Even if Li Min can increase production to catch up!
"OK, let's go!"
"Then I'll take the first step."
Li Jing said goodbye.
When he was about to go out, he met Queen Changsun and Li Lizhi.
In a hurry, he saluted the two of them.
He left in a hurry.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
Li Min asked as soon as he saw Queen Changsun.
I'm thinking.
I'm afraid someone is coming to ask for the third treasure at this time, right?
At this time, Queen Changsun said: "I'll just come over and take a look."
Are all people like this now?
If you want to get something, don't you dare to say it directly?
Li Min made a secret discussion.
"Auntie, are you here for something?"
Queen Changsun laughed dryly.
"As expected, I still can't escape your eyes. That's right. I came here today to ask for something."
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I'm listening!"
"That's right, we didn't look at that yesterday..."
Queen Changsun pointed at the telescope and said.
"Telescope, right? He wants it, right?"
Queen Changsun didn't know how to reply.
But Li Min was the first to speak.
At this time, Li Li said: "Sixth brother, it seems that I can't hide anything from you."
Li Min smiled.
"Just tell him how much he wants!"
It is impossible to make people's money from instant noodles, but you can make Li Er's money from telescopes.
After all, he is the only one in the world who can create this thing.
As for instant noodles, anyone can make them, it just depends on whether they taste good or not.
His words made Empress Changsun a little embarrassed.
But he still said: "About a thousand sets are needed!"
A thousand sets is almost enough.
The more of this kind of thing, the better. It can only be used by some talented generals.
"A thousand sets? Ten million taels!"
Li Min quoted a price directly.
This price shocked Queen Changsun.
"Is this... so expensive?"
Queen Changsun exclaimed.
"It's not expensive, aunt. Let me do the math for you. First, it will take me a month to produce these one thousand sets. I also need to upgrade Liulichang to a precision equipment factory. This will be a huge investment. We need to recruit more people for the project. Secondly, the parts used here are very difficult to manufacture."
Li Min said a lot.
He also said some terms that Queen Changsun didn't understand.
In this way, ten million taels seems really not much.
But then again.
Shouldn't Li Min invest in those things himself? Why do you need Li Er to support you?
In Li Min's words, he didn't want to produce this thing in the first place, but he did it for Li Er.
Therefore, Queen Changsun didn't say anything else in the end.
"Zhu Shan, why aren't you served with tea?"
When Queen Changsun was thinking, Li Min shouted.
Zhu Shan hurriedly served milk tea.
"Auntie, don't be anxious about this, think about it carefully. As far as I know, Li Chengqian will leave Liangzhou in a few months. I heard that this thing is very important to him."
Queen Changsun was shocked. It turned out that Li Min knew this.
But there was no hint of displeasure in Li Min's tone.
He seemed to be talking about something insignificant.
"There is indeed a time when foreign enemies invade and the people are in dire straits!"
"Then I wish him a victorious return and regain his position as prince!"
"You're stunned..."
"Auntie, don't be afraid. I have no ill intentions. As long as the Tang Dynasty is good, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the prince."
Queen Changsun always felt that Li Min was a little different today.
Although he was explaining his indifferent attitude.
But Queen Changsun always thinks too much.
Finally, does Queen Changsun agree?
She thought for a long time.
Ten thousand and twenty thousand is not a decimal! You can buy a lot of instant noodles.
