Duan Lun chatted with Li Min for a long time in the Shengtang Group and heard some of Li Min's thoughts.
As long as Li Min releases some small news, Duan Lun will be shocked for a long time.
He kept praising Li Min for doing a good job.
But in his heart, he began to think about how to talk to Li Shimin about these things.
The current group is the benchmark in the industry and the direction for the imperial court to imitate.
I don't know how long it took, but Duan Lun felt it was time to leave.
So he said goodbye to Li Min.
Li Min didn't keep him either.
After giving a few instructions, he was allowed to leave.
And when he just walked out of the door of Shengtang Group, someone put his arm on his shoulder.
That's a big, strong hand.
Facing unexpected situations.
That frightened him.
I thought I met a bad guy.
At the same time, I silently thought in my heart that Chang'an was indeed not safe at night.
The street lamp issue must be brought to the forefront.
"Brother, tell me if you have anything to say!"
Duan Lun said.
"Duan Shangshu, please don't leave! We, Mr. Huang, have invited you."
Call yourself Shangshu?
That is knowing one's identity.
If you know your identity, then you are not a bad person?
When Duan Lun heard the words "Master Huang", he was instantly confused. Who is this Master Huang?
He seemed to have never heard of a person named Mr. Huang.
So, he asked: "I don't know anyone from Mr. Huang. Are you looking for the wrong person?"
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense. You'll know when you go up and take a look." The man didn't talk nonsense much.
Duan Lun's reaction was quick. He immediately realized, isn't Mr. Huang the emperor?
The emperor must have been impatient and wanted to see how he was doing.
Now that I'm out, I want to ask him how things went.
So, he turned around and asked: "Is it your Majesty..."
Before the word '下' came out, he saw this guard, who was Li Shimin's personal guard.
Then this is self-evident.
"Please lead the way! Please lead the way!"
he said immediately.
It just so happened that I also wanted to find Li Shimin.
"Walk!"
So he followed the guard upstairs cautiously.
When they went upstairs.
He saw Li Shimin waiting for him there.
He didn't dare to neglect.
First, make sure there are only three people there.
Then he immediately said: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, the Queen, and Concubine Yang!"
"No need to be polite!"
Li Shimin walked towards him.
Then he asked in his ear: "Duan Lun, how was your chat with him?"
Li Shimin actually asked first.
"Your Majesty, we had a good chat. First of all, the soybeans have been dealt with by the Sixth Prince. There is also the spicy strips. He said he would send them to the palace! Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"Well, that's right. You've been chatting with him for so long, and this is all you talked about?" Li Shimin asked again.
Obviously, he didn't care much about soybeans and spicy strips, but wanted to know about things other than these two things.
"We talked about these things in the front, and then we talked about a few other things."
Duan Lun was organizing words to talk to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin said, "I see you are pointing at the white lights on the side. What are you talking about?"
Duan Lun was startled. He glanced at the window next to him and could see everything in the group.
I understood something instantly.
I bet Li Shimin is here to monitor him.
"Your Majesty! I was about to tell you that. This is a newly invented thing by the Sixth Prince. It is called a street lamp. It does not require electricity. As long as the sun shines on the street lamp during the day, it will light up at night."
Li Shimin simply couldn't believe his ears.
Even Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang didn't believe him.
"What! If there is sunlight during the day, it will be bright at night? How can such a thing exist in this world?"
Their understanding of light bulbs is already based on the presence of electricity.
Now Li Min proposes that it will turn on even without electricity. Isn't that nonsense?
Duan Lun said quickly: "This is what the Sixth Prince said. From what he meant, there seems to be no need to lie to me!"
"The most indispensable thing in the Tang Dynasty is sunlight. If this is true? Then this street lamp can be used forever!"
Queen Changsun said.
Li Shimin didn't care whether the street light would turn on or not. He was concerned about another point.
"Then what else did he say?"
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince said he wanted to erect 100,000 street lamps in Chang'an City, so he discussed with me and asked me to give him an approval. I said this must be decided by your Majesty, so I haven't agreed to it yet!
"
When Duan Lun said this, Li Shimin was still confused.
"What did he want? Why did he do it? What was the purpose of doing it?"
Li Shimin asked three questions in a row.
Regarding this point, Duan Lun had to repeat what he just heard from Li Min.
He also mentioned the importance of this street lamp to the Tang Dynasty.
He spoke in great detail.
It makes people feel a little excited when they hear it.
Let's say that Li Shimin was a little skeptical at first, but after listening to it, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Empress Changsun said at the side: "Your Majesty, I see that child. He is dedicated to Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty. If he has this intention, then it is good, and he can also collect advertising fees and generate income for the Shengtang Group. Then Why not? Even if we give up some land, that’s okay, isn’t it?”
She said this because she was worried that Li Shimin would not give up the land.
"I didn't expect that street lights can bring so much convenience to the people! Your Majesty, this is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. We must support it!" Concubine Yang said.
"Your Majesty, the number of one hundred thousand is not a small number, and the cost alone will cost a lot. I believe that the Sixth Prince has no ill intentions!" Duan Lun said.
I was afraid that Li Shimin would not agree.
After all, he promised Li Min that he would convince Li Shimin.
Naturally, I was worried that Li Shimin would not agree.
"I thought he was going to get advertising fees, but how much can he get this year?"
Li Shimin said.
"Maybe he has other ways to get money?" Queen Changsun said.
"Maybe, let me think about it!" Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, don't think about it. This is done quickly. This street light is very useful in reducing crime! In the future, when we go out to play, we can also play under the light. Isn't that great?" Yang The concubine said again.
"Yes, you can walk at night. Chang'an will become the safest place in the Tang Dynasty!" Queen Changsun said again.
The two of them were talking to each other. Li Shimin finally had to compromise.
"Okay, it's up to you! Duan Lun!"
"I'm here!"
"You will handle this matter!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
"By the way, what's going on with the Lianghe power plant now?"
"Based on Shengtang Group's speed, it will probably be almost the same in two months!"
"Okay, I understand, you can go back!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will go to the Sixth Prince and tell you this!"
Duan Lun then went downstairs and entered the Shengtang Group again, looking for Li Min and talking about the street lights.
