Li Shimin thought for a while.
"It's not impossible to let Dai Zhou come, but he may not be able to handle it alone. The three of you should work together." Li Shimin said this.
The two of them didn't dare to say anything.
Just said yes.
I originally wanted to drag Dai Zhou into the water, but now it's better, the two of them went into the water together.
"We'll talk about it later when Dai Zhou comes!" Li Shimin said.
"yes!"
The two stopped talking.
Then, the three of them waited for Dai Zhou to appear.
When Dai Zhou entered the palace and looked at Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin, he realized something was wrong.
There must be nothing good going on with the two of them here.
However, he was just thinking in his heart.
Don't say it.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Dai Zhou said.
"Dai Zhou, I want you to enter the palace for two things. The first thing is for Zhijie to tell you!" Li Shimin expressed.
"Yes!" Dai Zhou looked at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin repeated what he just said.
Dai Zhou frowned after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, would that be too risky? If the things tested by Shengtang Group are not put into mass production, there will be certain risks!"
Fang Xuanling calmed down.
It turned out that he was not the only one who thought so, Dai Zhou also thought so.
But Li Shimin said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. You just need to worry about how to invest in Shengtang Group's aircraft project."
"Does Your Majesty want to invest just to fly?"
Dai Zhou asked.
Li Shimin was silent for a moment.
Then he said: "No! No! I think airplanes will be very popular in the future. I think this is a big trend. In the future, airplanes will definitely make a lot of money."
"How much money can you make from this plane? It's really not as good as water and electricity!" Dai Zhou added.
"Don't underestimate the capabilities of Shengtang Group!" For the first time, Li Shimin clearly sided with Shengtang Group.
And speak for the Shengtang Group.
This may be a first.
"Don't forget, they paid for the telegraph poles, but they still made a profit. They built the subway, and they still made a profit. There are many things that we can't see, but they do exist in the Shengtang Group."
In fact, if airplanes only make money by carrying passengers, they really won’t make much money.
But every plane also carries cargo.
Freight charges for goods are also a big source of income.
Plus advertising revenue.
Taken together, these three aspects make it difficult not to make money.
Moreover, who knows what other tricks Shengtang Group has not yet used.
Since Li Min wants to develop aircraft, it proves that he has a way to make money.
Li Shimin said so.
The three of them said nothing.
After all, this is indeed the case.
"Anyway, you have to handle this matter well, you know?" Li Shimin said without question.
"yes!"
The three of them had no choice.
If this is the case, then they have to do a good job.
At the same time, they were also very depressed.
Go find Li Min again this time.
I'm afraid people won't pay attention to them.
But under pressure from Li Shimin.
They had to do it again.
"Your Majesty, what about the second thing?" Dai Zhou asked again.
"Fang Xuanling said that this year's imperial examinations will only have over a hundred candidates. If this continues, not many people will participate in the spring imperial examinations!" Li Shimin said.
Dai Zhou heard this.
It feels bad.
Li Shimin's purpose of coming here may not be pure.
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
Dai Zhou asked.
"He raised the issue of salary reform. I want to hear what you have to say."
When Dai Zhou heard this, he thought that if he changed his salary, he would increase his salary.
This feels okay.
Everyone wants it.
But, having said that, he is in charge of the treasury. If there is no money, Li Shimin will be the first to come to him.
He has to check this matter.
So, he said: "Your Majesty, we may need to invest in aircraft next. If we increase the salary now, even if... the money will not be enough."
Dai Zhou said so.
Li Shimin seemed to be aware of this.
"That's true." Li Shimin murmured.
At this time he was a little conflicted.
Do you want to realize your dreams or reform?
My dream is to increase my financial income.
Reform, on the other hand, requires spending more money to achieve stability.
This is a matter of choice.
But what if he wants them all?
So, he said: "As for investment, look at how much it will cost, and then think about reforms." Li Shimin said this.
Dai Zhou knew that this matter would not be that easy.
He had no choice but to agree: "It's your Majesty, but I want to say one thing. If you invest, you have to hold a large share. Only in this way can you make more money, otherwise it is meaningless. And the reform must be thorough and painless." If you don’t itch, you will only fail to achieve the desired results!”
"What Dai Zhou said is correct, I agree!"
Li Shimin said so.
So what to do in the end?
Li Shimin didn't say anything either.
Does that mean you have to wear a hat to deal with these things?
However, at this time, Fang Xuanling said again: "If it were once every three years, wouldn't there be more people!"
But this statement was quickly denied by Li Shimin.
"I need someone next year, every year, once every three years, so how can I get someone? What about the court affairs?"
Fang Xuanling was speechless by Li Shimin.
Yes, what should I do if there is no one?
Now is the time when the imperial court is developing greatly, and more and more people are needed.
How can we say that the imperial examination is held every three years?
"Please think about this matter. We need to reform the salary. After the reform is completed, everyone in the world must know that if necessary, you can get money if you are encouraged to participate in the imperial examination! How much reward can be given to high school students!" Li Shimin said suddenly.
The three of them were surprised.
Isn't that Li Min's way of playing?
Shengtang Group often does this.
But I have to say that this method is indeed good.
It's just that some people might be angry.
Like the officials who took part in the imperial examination last year.
But if you don’t do this, there will be no successors.
That is a very dangerous signal for the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is wise, I think this method is good!" Fang Xuanling said first.
Dai Zhou also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this method is good!"
Cheng Yaojin even said: "Your Majesty will only do it if you don't show up. Once you show up, it will shock people."
Li Shimin glared at them.
"You three, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking."
The three of them smiled awkwardly.
They are afraid of trouble.
That's why I said this.
But no matter what, there is definitely no problem in doing this.
"Okay, I'm tired. Go talk to that guy and see if we can talk it over!"
Li Shimin said.
"Then what are the powers His Majesty has given me?"
"You know better than me how much money there is in the treasury. As long as the money in the treasury is enough to sustain daily life, you can invest in everything else!" Li Shimin said.
Dai Zhou understood immediately.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Go!" Li Shimin waved his hand.
The three of them left the palace.
