First, Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"What the Sixth Prince writes here is really good! What he says here is really reasonable. It's much better than some people's unfounded claims! No! Some people can't be compared with them at all. That would lower their status. !”
This was said sourly, which made some people unhappy.
But Cheng Yaojin didn't name him, so who wants to go up? That's who you're talking about.
Wei Zheng then said:
"Yes, there are also some pictures to explain it. It's really a painstaking effort!"
There were also some officials who praised him indifferently.
"It turns out that the reservoir has so many benefits! Why haven't we thought about it before!?"
"When there was a flood in Shandong, if there had been a reservoir, the result might have been different!"
"Yes, I'm afraid there will be no more floods in Datang in the future!"
"So, I support the Sixth Prince in building the reservoir!"
Someone else directly suggested to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, why not give that piece of land to the Sixth Prince? Let him preside over it, and it will definitely have miraculous effects!"
"Yes, there are no people there, I think it's okay!"
"Perhaps this can be regarded as an example. When we build reservoirs in the future, we can use it as a template."
…
More and more people are persuading Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at the newspaper reports without much expression on his face, and his heart was already filled with turmoil.
Because what is said here is so true, and it is accompanied by pictures, in the form of comics, which are so vivid that people can’t put it down after reading it.
Hou Junji and Gao Shilian were stunned.
Is that thing really that good?
Hou Junji said:
"Huh, it's just some articles. Do you need to be like this?"
"Hou Junji, have you read this article? If you haven't, come and read it. Don't take it for granted!"
Cheng Yaojin said again.
How could this person be like this, trying to influence Li Min's behavior again and again.
That is not allowed by some people.
"Hou Junji, you should also take a look. I think that boy has a lot of good things to say."
Li Shimin said so, and Hou Junji had no choice but to join in.
Then I started reading.
This newspaper has a lot of space talking about the benefits of reservoirs.
There are more than a dozen benefits alone. Whether it is for farmers, cities, or groups, they are all very beneficial.
No wonder Li Min always wanted to buy a piece of mountain to build a reservoir.
Whoever does this can do a lot of good things.
The more Hou Junji and Gao Shilian looked at it, the more shocked they became.
After all, not many people can write such an article.
He, Li Min, is one of them.
Isn't this too scary?
At the same time, another thought arose in their minds.
Hou Junji first said: "Since this reservoir is so good, why not let the court handle it? This is what the court should do, not what a private businessman should think about!"
Yes, they grasped this key point. If this is the case, why didn't the imperial court do it?
Gao Shilian then said:
"I think this is also the case. In order to benefit the people, it is natural for the imperial court to help."
This person was not a bad person originally, but because of Changsun Wuji's death, he targeted Li Min everywhere, and Li Min actually expressed his understanding.
Anyway, as long as you don't mess with me, you can do whatever you want.
As for these two people, to put it bluntly, they would not allow Li Min to participate.
But at this time, Xue Rengui directly retorted: "How about you two be responsible for it? After all, it is best for you to do this thing that benefits the people."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were frightened.
That's a thankless task, are they responsible?
If you don't do that well, you will end up being scolded and displeased.
In serious cases, you may even be demoted, which is something you can't do.
Hou Junji said quickly: "This matter should be handled by the Ministry of Industry and has nothing to do with us!"
He brushed this off completely.
Gao Shilian also said: "Yes, yes, the Ministry of Industry's affairs should be handled by them!"
That made the entire Ministry of Industry anxious.
"If you don't have that ability, just talk less! Don't take this kind of thing for granted. As far as I know, the benefits of this reservoir are more than that, but it's just not written down. And the architecture in it must be unique. If the Ministry of Industry hadn't done If it is good, I am afraid it will become a disaster, and in this case, it will be disadvantageous to the court."
Xue Rengui said again.
His analysis makes perfect sense.
"Consort, what do you mean?"
Hou Junji was angry.
"What? Am I right? If you don't dare, I can sincerely ask Your Majesty to leave this matter to me!"
"you……"
How could Hou Junji and the others agree?
This matter has something to do with Xue Rengui, so what's the difference between doing it with Li Min?
The result is the same! Because they work together, it doesn’t matter who handles it. It’s just that there is one more Xue Rengui.
Therefore, they naturally refused.
However, they couldn't agree.
Just have to worry.
"Okay, I have made a decision on this matter!"
Li Shimin saw that everyone was noisy, so he spoke.
Everyone fell silent.
Waiting for Li Shimin's decision.
"As for the mountain land, I can grant it to that boy, but there is a principle. This piece of land is only for rent, not for sale, and the lease period is twenty years!"
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, everyone was shocked.
People say that Li Min is smart, but they didn't expect that Li Shimin is even smarter.
It's just that Li Min rarely asks for Li Shimin in normal times.
This time, because of the mountain incident, it was brought to the court, and then there was such a scene.
Regarding Li Shimin’s decision.
At this time, no one from the civil and military officials came out to object.
Even Hou Junji and Gao Shilian were like this.
What else do the two of them have to say?
Just renting, not selling.
Twenty years later, this mountainous area was still owned by the imperial court.
So aren’t the things above also owned by the imperial court?
This may be a gift that Li Shimin left for his future.
"Then what if the Sixth Prince doesn't want it?"
Hou Junji asked again.
"Don't want it? Forget it!"
Li Shimin actually said such words.
It feels like angry words, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Fang Xuanling said at this time: "I thought that the Sixth Prince would definitely buy it, but how much does your Majesty want to rent? This is the key!"
"Theoretically, if it is rented out, it must be quite high, but since he aims at the welfare of the people, I will charge some money from Zhengxing, just ten million taels!"
This Li Shimin really dared to speak.
But the money he was cheated by Li Min didn't end there.
This might be considered a win back.
Such a fight between the two father and son contributed a lot to Datang's GDP.
"Okay, that's it for now. Leave it to the Ministry of Industry to handle, and no one else will talk about it!"
Li Shimin gave the order.
The news quickly reached Li Min.
