When Fang Xuanling and Zhu Shan arrived at the Daming Palace, they heard Li Shimin discussing something with the ministers.
It's about the tram.
A courtier said: "Your Majesty, the frequency of people traveling by tram in Chang'an has increased recently. We have completed the first phase of the project and will start the next two and three phases. Please give your Majesty's approval!"
Li Shimin said: "Just leave this to the Ministry of Industry to implement it, there is no need to ask me!"
He didn't understand why he had to ask him about this.
However, the person below said:
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Industry said that he could not make a conclusion. He said that too much money had been allocated to the border areas recently. Now it is not suitable to build new tracks. Therefore, he did not dare to make a conclusion, but I think this is related to people's livelihood. Things that can be promoted will speed up the development of Datang!"
So it means that the Minister of Industry is stuck and doesn't listen to them?
During this period, Li Shimin spent too much money.
He didn't feel anything when he spent it.
But the people below understood it very well.
If we continue to spend like this, the treasury may be in deficit again.
Once it loses money, it will not be a good thing for Datang. The previous things may happen again.
Over the past year or so, we have finally managed to get some money into the national treasury.
Now, is it the same as in previous years?
This is simply unacceptable.
The minister's words silenced Li Shimin.
Yes, this needs to be thought about carefully.
He fell into deep thought.
what to do?
To build or not to build?
If built, it can speed up the economy.
What if we don’t build it?
The economic growth rate will be slower, but relatively stable.
If we had not spent that 100 million taels at that time, let alone the second and third phases, even if we had to build a few more phases now, it would be nothing!
Without waiting for his reply, Fang Xuanling and Zhu Shan walked in together.
The entry of the two people attracted the attention of the ministers.
Only then did Zhu Shan see that most of the courtiers here were Jinshi under Li Min.
Now that they are in important positions, they will naturally participate in this discussion.
At this time, Li Shimin stared at the two of them for a long time.
Because the probability of two people appearing at the same time is almost non-existent, but now, two people did appear at the same time.
He glanced at Zhu Shan again. His appearance meant that he must be related to Li Min.
At the same time, he asked curiously: "Fang Xuanling, do you have something to do with me?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this! These are a few copies sent by Zhu Shan. They have been circulated among the people!"
Li Shimin was puzzled.
Let yourself go at this time?
Don’t you see that you are dealing with state affairs?
But Fang Xuanling is a loyal minister after all. He must know what can and cannot be done.
So, he said patiently: "What, what does it say? Are you good at shielding?"
Fang Xuanling did not dare to say anything, but just said: "Your Majesty, you have to take a look at this. It seems inappropriate for me to say it now."
Tell me, it’s not appropriate?
Could it be that this will kill people?
"Send it over!"
But he still said it with a straight face.
Then, a eunuch will appear before him.
He opened a book and read it nonchalantly.
At this sight, I was immediately attracted.
Because it was written by Li Min.
So, let him watch it and get addicted to it.
Li Shimin looked carefully.
Completely forgetting everything around me.
This damn sense of substitution made him completely immersed in it, especially when writing about five women.
The ministers were puzzled, is this really that good-looking?
At the same time, everyone also discovered that the paper did not seem to be very good.
At this time, Zhu Shan whispered to Fang Xuanling: "Wei Guogong... this..."
Fang Xuanling couldn't hold it back either.
Stepped forward and said:
"His Majesty!"
Li Shimin didn't hear it.
He called again.
"His Majesty!"
So, he screamed louder again.
Only then did Li Shimin react.
"This is interesting..."
Fang Xuanling was ashamed.
"It's not from the group, but from someone who deliberately wanted to frame the Sixth Prince. That's why I entered the palace!"
"Isn't it from him? No wonder the paper quality is so poor, but it looks very good. Then what? What's going on?"
Obviously, Li Shimin still didn't know why Fang Xuanling came.
Zhu Shan spoke at this time.
"Your Majesty, could you please allow me to explain?"
This is what he had to say.
Because in ancient times, you, the common people, were not allowed to speak in the palace. Of course, if the emperor allowed it, you could.
But Zhu Shan couldn't help it.
"allow!"
"Your Majesty, someone is trying to frame you. They tried to use this as a blackmail to extort 100 million taels of silver. Your husband did not agree, so I asked the young one to find Wei Guogong to help deal with these matters..."
Zhu Shan explained the matter clearly.
When Li Shimin heard this, he realized something was wrong.
If it is true as Zhu Shan said, then it is not a good thing for Li Min.
If Li Min collapses, the entire Shengtang Group may also be in trouble.
The group is now its main source of finance.
He also invested a lot of money in the group.
If things go wrong for Shengtang Group, where is his money?
Is it possible to have no more?
And the benefits brought by his money are very large.
So, he closed it.
Although he also wanted to watch it.
"Such behavior is so audacious! How could such a thing happen in my big store? How can I tolerate it?"
He still said so.
Next.
"What do you need me to do?"
Li Shimin asked again.
Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, I can do this, but I can't take it all into consideration with my own strength, so..."
In this way, Fang Xuanling wanted to seek Li Shimin's support.
Li Shimin did not refuse.
"Okay, I can assign more people to handle this matter. Those behind the scenes must be severely punished. All these powers will be handled by you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling was overjoyed.
Li Shimin's words are enough.
At the same time, there were many Jinshi on the side.
They all stood up.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to assist Duke Wei in handling this matter!"
Fang Xuanling was even more delighted.
With these people joining in, wouldn't it be easy?
Zhu Shan quietly wrote down these names.
"Okay, you will handle this matter!"
Li Shimin said.
At this time, someone asked: "What about rail transit?"
"Make it! Make it again!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
After finishing speaking, he added another sentence.
"Those people will be punished, mainly with fines, until they lose their fortune! If they do it again, they will be beheaded directly!"
Li Shimin said so.
This is obviously to make those who framed Li Min bankrupt.
In fact, it is for the sake of our own treasury.
In this way, the money spent is returned.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will handle it now!"
After that, Fang Xuanling and Zhu Shan left the Daming Palace.
After the two went out, they parted ways.
Zhu Shan returned directly to the Tanglou.
Tell these things to Li Min.
Li Shimin picked it up and started reading.
