Moreover, the name Li Ke used was so good. Li Shimin was the principal of the Royal Academy. Who the hell would dare to object? Doesn’t opposing Li Ke mean opposing Li Shimin? You oppose Li Shimin, what do you want to do? Even the emperor couldn't open a school if he wanted to, so what? Is it true that your family wants to rebel? !
If they dare to oppose, the name of rebellion will definitely be withheld from them.
"So? Who agrees and who opposes?" Li Ke looked at everyone again and asked.
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with a strange expression. This kid... always comes up with something new. Is this really what Chang Lin said? Is there a groove in your chest?
"Your Highness, I don't want to object to you. I have a doubt. It is a good thing to open a royal academy across the country, but it costs extravagantly. The Tang Dynasty's annual income is only 10 million yuan. Money is needed to fight foreign wars. Internal disaster relief requires money, dredging rivers costs money, and building dams still costs money. The court is really unable to afford it," Fang Xuanling said.
"What a big deal. If you don't have any other opinions on this matter, I will bear it with all my heart. Let me tell you, I don't like money very much. Money is something that I will never take with me whether I live or die, so I look down on those people. Members of the aristocratic family always bury their money first. What's the use of burying it? When the money is spent, it's called money, but when it's buried low, it's called copper mine." Li Ke waved his hand and said directly.
"Okay, it's settled! You have to restore the sales volume of Datang Weekly to the previous 50,000 copies, and I will re-title you as a king." Li Shimin, who was sitting on top, said loudly.
Ministers: "..."
"Thank you, Father." Li Ke was delighted. He didn't want to be the emperor, but he was still happy to be granted the title of king. So, from now on, he will be His Highness King Wu, Li Ke?
Changsun Wuji: "Your Highness is so righteous, but I am looking down upon Your Highness. Since His Highness is doing this for the sake of the imperial court and the country, I agree with the proposal just mentioned by His Highness the King of Shu." Oh, popularizing all the Taoism in the Tang Dynasty? Do you think that if the Zheng family compensates you two million yuan, you can just spend it randomly? Compared with the world, those two million are just a drop in the bucket.
Fang Xuanling: "I also agree with His Highness's proposal."
Wei Zheng: "I second the proposal."
Quan Wanji: "I second the proposal."
Gao Shilian: "I second the proposal."
Xiao Yu: "I second my opinion."
All of a sudden, all the ministers stood up and agreed, because they all knew that no matter what outrageous conditions Li Ke proposed today, they could only agree unless Li Shimin objected! This pitfall of "Datang Weekly" can only be filled by Li Ke.
Who made them lose? What a terrible loss! So, they can only agree to this matter no matter what, don't they? Ask Zheng's one hundred and twenty-seven and Hongwen Hall's two heads if it hurts if they fall to the ground.
"Okay, all the ministers have no objections, then Li Ke will be in charge of the next issue of "Datang Weekly"." Li Shimin said loudly.
Looking at everyone's faces, Li Ke sneered in his heart, he wanted to see his underwear turned upside down, right? Let me tell you, think too much! No way, His Highness has many ways to make money! I will make hundreds of thousands of dollars in the next court today!
"Father, dear ministers, please don't say that I, Li Ke, am ignorant. The role of this "Datang Weekly" is the mouthpiece of the imperial court. Therefore, if there are any policies of the imperial court in the future that need to be explained to the people and made known to the people, please inform them in advance. Leave the policy to me, and I will be responsible for publishing it and ensuring that the people can understand it effectively."
"But, for some other articles in Datang Weekly, I can also ask my father to allow me to make my own decisions. After all, Datang Weekly has learned from the past. In this industry, it is most taboo for laymen to command experts." Li Ke said simply road.
"Okay, but you can't go too far, otherwise, I will issue an order to stop at any time." Li Shimin said calmly. In fact, this is nonsense. He has given an order, who dares to disobey it?
"Thank you, Father. This matter has been settled. In recent days, I may be busy with these things and may not be able to come to court. Let me tell you first." Li Ke took the opportunity to speak.
Meetings and stuff like that are so boring, especially listening to a bunch of people arguing, it's better to do it yourself.
"Okay. But I want to see the results." Li Shimin waved his hand. He knew what Li Ke was thinking, but do you think the other court officials wanted to see Li Ke?
"By the way, dad, there are still five convicted bachelors in Hongwen Hall. Give them to me. It would be a pity to die in prison. Talents should be put to their best use. It is better to come out and let them clean the toilet than to die in there. ."
"Speaking of this, Erchen has a suggestion. Datang should build several large prisons to specially detain some ordinary prisoners. The advantage of centralized detention is that some factories can be built in the prisons to let these prisoners work. Now These prisoners are too leisurely." Li Ke made another suggestion.
There is one bad thing about the Tang Dynasty. For example, prisoners in the Qin and Han Dynasties, except for those on death row, almost all had to work, whether it was national projects or other corvee services. But there was no such thing in the Tang Dynasty. It was really jail. You still have to take care of the food!
Although there were not many prisoners in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin gave birth to a prince and princess, established a queen, and won a general amnesty anyway. This prevented many sentenced prisoners from serving a few years in prison.
It is also because there are not many criminals, so they are not allowed to work.
"We will discuss this later." Li Shimin waved his hand. This idea is good, but it is not decided now. "I will ask someone to transfer those people to you."
As for the remaining five bachelors, Li Shimin did not delve into it. He, Li Ke, and all the ministers knew that the people in Hongwen Hall were wronged. They could not decide what to do, but they had to take the blame. The two who died In fact, it is not a sin that leads to death, but there is no way.
One hundred and twenty-seven members of the Zheng family died, and it would be unreasonable if two people from Hongwen Hall did not die, so the two who danced the most happily were unlucky.
"I'm going to resign now. I'm going down to make arrangements for the Tang Dynasty Weekly." Li Ke said quickly.
"Go ahead."
Li Ke turned around and left, leaving the Tai Chi Hall. Li Ke wanted to laugh three times! Hahaha, my newspaper is back, and I also got a bunch of things back. It’s so cool. Changsun Wuji is so cute.
"We, the common people, are so happy today. We, the common people, are so, so happy today." Li Ke hummed and left.
It's just that his singing voice was a little loud, and everyone in the Tai Chi Hall heard it.
Everyone:"……"
What a ghost the common people are! Do you have anything to do with the common people? Li Shimin's mouth twitched and he was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Changsun Wuji and others were wondering, did Li Ke deliberately sing so loudly? Was there any special hint?
After leaving the palace, Li Ke quickly called Tian Meng who was waiting outside, and said directly: "Go, invite Li Zhang, the owner of the Li family's Dunhuang house in Longxi, to come over, and tell him that His Highness has a brand new business, let him To act as an agent for a royal furniture brand, you need to provide a set of furniture for the Daming Palace for free, but you need to spend 500,000 yuan to purchase this qualification, but you only have a 49% share. Your Highness will design it for him personally, and the furniture brand will have royal certification. , allowing their Dunhuang room to be exported to the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions in the name of royal tribute from the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes!" Tian Meng hurriedly bent down and bowed, and went to invite him personally.
Li Ke was a little troubled. He had just earned five hundred thousand yuan. Hey, it was not easy to make money. He didn't know how many days it would last. He had to think of other ways, either to sell more, or to encourage his father. Build more palaces.
