As soon as Li Ke said this, everyone looked at Li Ke and their eyes widened.

They guessed everyone except the King of Shu.

Li Shimin stood up excitedly. No wonder there was no news about Li Shu. It turned out that his son had done it, and what was his son's was his.

"Ke'er, are you serious about this?"

Li Ke smiled and said: "It's more real than real gold."

"Okay! Okay!"

Li Shimin was extremely happy, even happier than having won a great battle.

Newspapers, in the hands of Li Shimin, control the initiative of public opinion, they are definitely a great weapon.

Changsun Wuji clenched his fist. A weapon like a newspaper that can kill people without blood was actually created by the King of Shu?

He couldn't help but sigh, King Shu was becoming more and more capable of doing things!

If development continues at this rate, can the position of the Crown Prince still belong to the Crown Prince?

Although it is said that the King of Shu has no possibility of ascending to the throne, this son is decisive in killing and is the person most like your Majesty.

How His Majesty came to power is terrifying to think about.

Now that this son is in power, it will probably be their eldest grandson who sacrifices the sword.

Li Jing was overjoyed. I was indeed right. Marrying his daughter to the King of Shu was the wisest choice.

Wei Zheng was stunned!

What, what the hell?

I am ready to use all my strength. The person I want to criticize is actually the King of Shu?

Cough cough cough...

I'd better find another goal! This King of Shu is even more difficult to criticize than His Majesty.

He was afraid that if he sprayed, he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Fang Xuanling was quick-thinking and flattered him, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for winning such a prince. This is an auspicious sign for the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty."

Others also raised their hands and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin laughed and waved his hands: "Don't praise the third prince. If he is not angry with me, I will be very happy."

"I didn't expect that he was so talented and capable that he could actually produce something like a newspaper, hahaha..."

Li Ke: "..."

Li Ke was helpless, why did he end up with such a beautiful father?

Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well.

"Father, I am here today not just to tell you that I created the newspaper. I have more important things to say than the newspaper."

"And this matter requires the nods of all the ministers and the emperor. After all, it concerns the country, the country, the country, and I don't dare to do anything wrong."

Everyone didn't expect that the newspaper was just an appetizer. Was there something bigger?

Li Shimin also took a deep breath. Now he couldn't understand at all, what medicine was being sold in his son's gourd?

"Let's talk about it. If it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, the ministers and father will naturally agree."

Everyone also nodded.

Li Ke handed over his hand: "Father, the only advantage of a newspaper is that it allows scholars to know the world's affairs without going out. A newspaper can help them understand the world's major events and national policies..."

"But the Tang Dynasty was rich and rich all over the world. How could we let everyone in the world read the newspaper?"

Li Shimin frowned, this is very simple, it can be delivered by the inn.

My son doesn’t even understand this, right?

"Ke'er, this responsibility belongs to the inn? You can let the inn deliver the newspaper."

The ministers also nodded. Your Majesty thought the same as them, but if the King of Shu could produce newspapers, he should also be able to think of this.

"Father, my son doesn't think so. The documents transported by the inn are state secret documents, and at most they carry some letters from the common people."

"But newspapers can't do that. The amount of newspapers is too large and there are too few people at the post station, so they can't be transported at all."

"If we increase the number of people, the newspaper's profits will be thin and it will not be able to support them. It will only bring a financial crisis to the country."

"So, Erchen wants to create a new transportation industry based on the post station, and let's call it Datang Post..."

Postal service, transportation industry?

Everyone was puzzled.

Li Ke was unfazed: "I just heard that my father and the ministers were discussing the problem of refugees outside the city. This idea just came up. I thought it could solve the problem of refugees outside the city."

Although Li Shimin didn't understand what postal service was, he was still interested because he could solve the problem of refugees. He smiled and said, "Keep talking."

"Erchen thought that on the basis of delivering letters at the post station, we would add a transportation function, recruit young refugees from outside the city, and give them a job to earn money to support their families."

"Of course, transporting newspapers will definitely not be able to support them, but the postal service can help merchants transport goods and carry things for people. This will make it convenient for merchants and people, and postal workers can also support themselves."

"This postal service is backed by the imperial court. Merchants and people must trust Datang Postal Service more than caravans and escort agencies."

"The postal service is backed by the state. This can even prevent bandits from everywhere from causing trouble and persecuting the people of the Tang Dynasty."

As Changsun Wuji listened, he felt something was wrong. He was trying to monopolize Datang's transportation industry!

The King of Shu has such great ambitions.

He immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the third prince's proposal is very good, but your Majesty said that the court cannot compete with the people for profit... This is not good for the reputation of the court and your majesty."

Wei Zheng also stood up. This time he had to say: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhao said is absolutely true. A prince should do what a prince should do."

Li Ke looked at Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, and said coldly: "What is it about competing with the people for profit? I'm afraid you two don't know who controls the caravan and the escort agency?"

"They are nobles and wealthy families. They are rich in wine and meat, and their bones are frozen to death on the road. Are they people? Are they people of the Tang Dynasty?"

"I want to say that they are worms lying on the people, vampires of the Tang Dynasty."

"You are afraid of them, but I am not."

"My father's reputation was given to me by the people of the Tang Dynasty, not them."

"Also, Mr. Zheng, please tell me, what should I do?"

"Lying in the palace all day long and being raised by the court? Clothes to stretch out hands and food to open mouth? Holding the most beautiful woman in the world, drinking Qiong Nianyu liquid, singing and dancing to peace?"

"What's the difference between that and those moths?"

"I believe that as a prince, what you should do is to share your worries and do something good for the people."

"If you live high in a temple, you worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your ruler."

"Be anxious when the world is worried first, then be happy when the world is happy."

"This is what a minister should do, and this is what I, the king, should do."

Wei Zheng opened his mouth wide and his eyes were as wide as Tongling, but he really couldn't say a word.

King Shu's words are classic and reasonable, which makes him complain. Today he met a real troll.

hiss!

The ministers took a breath of cold air!

The King of Shu's aura today was as impressive as His Majesty's.

"King of Shu, I...I am wrong!"

Li Shimin almost died laughing in his heart. He had never seen his humerus being so criticized and speechless.

Especially Wei Zheng, a troll, was actually trolled by his son today.

I have to say that this son's literary attainments are really high. Every word he speaks is famous throughout the ages, and he doesn't forget to flatter him every time.

Comfortable!

"Ke'er, please don't be rude. Although they are nobles and wealthy families, they are also common people of the Tang Dynasty and my subjects!"

Li Ke immediately cooperated with Li Shimin because he still had something to ask Li Shimin for.

"My father taught me that my son has gone too far."

He slowly walked towards Li Ke, his son was right!

They are all a group of vampires who compete with the people for profit. They have a lot of resources and are challenging Li Shimin.

What made him most angry was that his ministers shamelessly married women from the Qiwang family in order to improve their family's status.

Isn’t the status I give them high enough?

A woman with the fifth surname and Qi Wang is more noble than Li Shimin's daughter. What's the truth?

Recently, there have been rumors circulating among the public that they would rather marry a girl with the fifth surname than join the emperor's family!

As a king of a country, how can you tolerate this?

The Li family has worked hard to build the country and should be the most noble family in the world. Why are they more noble than the Li family?

These are all diseases and must be treated well.

However, through marriage, the Qiwang family of the fifth surname has formed a large network. They hold political resources and control the economic lifeline. They are extremely rich.

In the local area, the people only know about the wealthy family, but they don't know who the current His Majesty is!

Also, half of the officials in the imperial court came from their disciples or were related to them.

This made Li Shimin very frustrated.

He stretched out his claws, but did not dare to catch them. Li Shimin was holding back his internal injuries.

"The King of Shu's proposal is quite good. What do you think, sir?"

Everyone: "..."

You have already said that King Shu’s proposal is quite good, what else can we say?

"Your Majesty, I agree with King Shu's proposal!"

Li Jing took a step forward, bowed and said, since the Li family has chosen to side with the King of Shu, they will stand to the end.

Moreover, he also saw that His Majesty wanted to deal with some small aristocratic families with the fifth surname, Qiwang and Guanlong.

Only by destroying these wealthy families will there be more land, the court will be richer, and the people will be more stable.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with this father-in-law and nodded towards Li Jing.

Fang Xuanling also came out and said: "Your Majesty, if the team formed can really transport goods quickly and make money to feed these refugees, I think the post station can be transformed into a postal service, but the state's confidential documents will have to rely on the original Those people teleport.”

"Auxiliary machine, what do you think?"

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji and asked.

"I think it can be done. After this reform, it will become an important department of the imperial court. But who can do the best job on this matter?"

"I recommend the prince. This is considered part of the country's government affairs. Let the prince do it, and he can also accumulate experience in governing the country."

Li Ke's eyes widened. When did I say that this post office belongs to the imperial court?

This is my tool to make money!
