Seeing Mr. Kong Yingda's happy face, everyone in the room secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that it's not bad news.
"Kong Aiqing, I wonder where the joy comes from?"
"I have found a good way to deal with the victims!"
Kong Yingda's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
“In short, four words – work for relief!”
Kong Yingda said with excitement. Without waiting for these people to ask further questions, he told them about the work-for-relief program in Balabala.
"Wonderful! This strategy can not only appease the refugees and provide relief to the victims, but also avoid the consequences of large-scale construction projects that arouse dissatisfaction among the people. It can be described as killing three birds with one stone. Wei Chen believes that this method is feasible!"
As Kong Yingda narrated, Fang Xuanling and others' eyes became brighter and brighter, and they couldn't help but express their admiration.
"Kong Geizhong is truly the pillar of the country!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but praise him, and several big shots such as Fang Xuanling also paid tribute.
Kong Yingda couldn't help but blush secretly. If it weren't for that bastard Wang Zi'an who refused to be an official and threatened not to reveal his information, how could he have done such an embarrassing thing of pretending to take credit for his juniors!
That’s all, it’s all for the people!
Kong Yingda wiped his face and raised his head.
"Your Majesty, then - do I need to be rewarded for my suggestions?"
"Ah-ah-ah!"
Li Shimin was a little confused by Kong Yingda's move. Could it be that the old man took the wrong medicine today? A person who was so indifferent to fame and fortune unexpectedly went out of his way and took the initiative to ask for rewards today.
However, merit is rewarded!
Li Shimin coughed dryly, turned his face away from surprise, and put on an encouraging smile.
"Kong Aiqing's suggestions and suggestions are meritorious. He promoted the prohibition of drinking in the Imperial College and rewarded..."
"Your Majesty - cough, I don't dare to take credit, so I don't need to be promoted to this official position. I just need to give you some rewards..."
Although he had already prepared his mind before coming, Kong Yingda still couldn't help but feel his face getting hot. It was really embarrassing to take the initiative to ask for a reward.
"Ahem, to be honest, I just want two pieces of land..."
"It's rare for my beloved to take the initiative to say where you want it, but there's no harm in talking!"
When Li Shimin saw this, he couldn't help being surprised and leaned forward slightly to ask.
"Two wastelands - Niutou Ridge and Loess Cliff..."
As soon as Kong Yingda said this, the eyes of everyone in the imperial study suddenly became strange. Just after we talked about coal, someone came to ask for minerals.
Everyone here, who doesn’t know that there are two places with the richest carbon dioxide reserves around Chang’an, one is Niutou Ridge and the other is Loess Cliff!
These two places are not only rich in carboniferous reserves, but also have shallow soil layers. Some places have even exposed the surface of the earth, which is where the best coal mining is around Chang'an.
Seeing everyone looking at him blankly, Kong Yingda made the boss uncomfortable. He twisted his butt and touched his face, thinking he had something extra on him.
"Your Majesty, no-"
Wei Zhenggang wanted to stand up and refute Kong Yingda's ridiculous request, but Li Shimin raised his hand to stop him. Looking at the absent Kong Yingda, Li Shimin suddenly showed an unpredictable smile on his face.
"Kong Aiqing's words have made great contributions to the country, and I should be rewarded. Since Kong Aiqing wants those two pieces of wasteland, I will make the decision and reward them to the people who deserve them!"
The words were a bit convoluted, leaving Fang Xuanling and others confused. However, Kong Yingda couldn't help being shocked and looked up in surprise.
Their eyes met and Li Shimin nodded slightly.
Does your Majesty know Wang Zi'an?
Fortunately, I turned down the promotion just now, otherwise this would have been too embarrassing!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will take my leave——"
After Kong Yingda finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Walking so neatly?
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and Li Shimin became more certain about his guess.
It’s unmistakable. In all likelihood, this old gentleman has also met that brat Wang Zi’an.
"Work-for-relief? This brat really has something!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
After the small court meeting, a group of big guys went home.
Li Shimin looked at the north, thoughtfully.
it is finally over!
Li Lizhi, who had been waiting not far away for a long time and got angry, jumped up impatiently and went straight to the imperial study.
Today I have to get money from my father no matter what.
When she thought of the surprise and surprise on Aye's face after it was done, Li Lizhi was filled with high morale!
Therefore, as soon as she entered the imperial study room, her mouth felt like honey.
Aye is long, Aye is short.
One moment I was bringing tea and water, and another moment I was rubbing my shoulders and back.
In the end, Li Shimin couldn't bear it any longer. He put down the imperial pen in his hand, leaned on the couch, and glanced at his daughter with a doting look.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me for—"
Changle was not embarrassed when his Aye found out, he smiled and leaned forward to pinch the temples of his emperor father.
"Aye, I want four hundred—no, three hundred strings, three hundred strings is enough—"
After speaking, she carefully looked at Li Shimin's face.
It's not that she, as the eldest princess, is stingy.
But she knew that her emperor father was really poor.
Now that the world has settled down, Datang's financial situation is very difficult. Except for some physical objects such as silk and grain, the annual fiscal revenue is only 300,000 yuan.
Even his mother, in order to save money, had to take the lead in weaving in the harem, and was reluctant to even buy a new long dress, let alone need to spend hundreds of them at once.
"oh--"
Li Shimin looked at his daughter with some surprise. This child has been sensible since she was a child. She knew that the harem's expenses were tight. Not to mention that she had never asked him for money. On weekdays, he would even use his monthly money to subsidize the harem. cost.
Today, he went out of his way and took the initiative to ask for money from me. Something was a little unusual.
He knew that his precious daughter had been running away recently, so she wasn't deceived by some blind city fox, right?
When he thought of this, his beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
Seeing her father's expression, Princess Changle thought she was about to be rejected, so she immediately pouted with a pitiful expression and gently shook Li Shimin's shoulders.
"Aye, please, it really doesn't work. Two hundred guan-two hundred guan will do..."
Being coquettish doesn't mean being cute, and being cute doesn't mean pretending to be pitiful!
This is a tried-and-tested magic weapon against my father.
In short, five hundred strings must be collected no matter what!
Whether we can help our father depends on this time!
If it doesn't work, just go to the prince's brother and borrow it yourself!
Humph, Brother Prince, if you dare not borrow it, grab it!
Looking at the cute little girl in front of him, Li Shimin couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth.
Since becoming the emperor, it has been a long time since I had a good communication with my daughter's family.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Wang Zian was so resistant to becoming an official.
Rich and idle people, rich and idle people, if they can maintain wealth and honor forever, and be able to be idle, it may not be a great blessing in life.
