Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

King Ji wanted to build a [-]-mile cement road. The news spread quickly. Of course, the first people to get the news were various ministers, officials and aristocratic families.

No one can figure out why Li Shen spent so much money to build a cement road. Could it be that he really wanted to pray for Concubine Wei? The concubine prays for blessings.

They felt that Li Shen must have another purpose, because judging from past situations, Li Shen had never suffered a loss and everything he did was for profit.

If you want to pray for blessings, it is better to build a temple directly. Li Shen acted quickly, and two days later it was published in the newspaper that in order to pray for his biological mother, Concubine Wei Guifei, His Royal Highness was planning to build a cement road from Chang'an to Xinzhou, with a total length of more than 500 miles.

It requires a lot of gravel, river sand and iron tools. If there is anything for sale, please contact Wang Hongfu, the shopkeeper of Wangfu, for negotiation. For a while, the merchants on this line began to become active.

For a time, people praised Li Shen for his filial piety. They all said that King Ji was filial and had both loyalty and filial piety.

Li Shen asked Wang Hongfu to purchase materials based on the principle of proximity. It is best to make the tools locally in Xuzhou. If it is too late, let the blacksmiths from nearby prefectures and counties make them together.

Wang Xuance had already taken people to Xuzhou to prepare everything, including recruiting workers, purchasing supplies, and food. One of the benefits Li Shen gave was two meals.

The treasury door of Prince Ji's Mansion is wide open, and the carriage can enter directly to collect money. Wei Fugui sighed while registering with the book. The little master is really a prodigal. He can't spend money like this if he has a lot of money. Wei Fugui felt heartbroken when he saw the money-pulling trucks filling up and taking away one truck at a time.

Carriages carrying money came out of the palace in a steady stream and parked on both sides of the street. The palace guards, nearly 2000 of whom were now available, were dispatched to escort the money to Xuzhou.

Li Shen once again felt the inconvenience of copper coins. It took hundreds of cars to collect tens of thousands of copper coins, and even the upfront expenses took a long time.

He and Li Shimin borrowed 2 soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion just to escort them to Xuzhou. The carriages in the palace were all requisitioned by various departments, especially the household department, and there were only more than 3000 carriages.

Li Shen definitely doesn't need to work. He is now thinking about whether there is any way to solve this problem.

In fact, the best way to solve the problem of copper coins is to replace it with another new currency. But the first thing to solve is the anti-counterfeiting problem.

Otherwise, anyone can fake it, so why would it be circulated? Li Shen's knowledge reserve is not yet able to prevent counterfeiting. He only knows how to identify anti-counterfeiting, such as watermarks, anti-counterfeiting codes, etc.

How it was made he didn't know. However, Li Shen decided that he should study it.

So Li Shen went to the paper factory and told several craftsmen about his requirements, but he didn't say what it would be used for. After all, it is illegal to make money privately. Li Shen just asked to make a new kind of paper that is stronger than the current paper and as thin as possible. You also need to find a way to make a watermark or defense on the paper.

Li Shen also told them what watermark was and asked them to study it on their own. He also promised a large sum of money. Li Shen's consistent style is that under large rewards, there must be brave men.

In fact, another thing Li Shen is worried about is that he is not a banking major. His knowledge of finance and banking is at most limited to ATM machines. He has not even understood advanced loans. He only knows the interest rate of depositing money. He doesn't know anything about the gold standard or the silver standard.

He also wondered how so many time-travel novels could build banks. How can it be that easy to open a bank?

So he was afraid that if he rashly issued new coins, the Tang Dynasty's economy would collapse, so why didn't Li Shimin kill him?

The family was not very concerned about Li Shen spending money to build roads, but they were happy that he was being taken advantage of. Their main task now is to support Li Tai.

Now that the prince is away from the court, many officials suggested that Li Tai should take care of his majesty, and many ministers believed that Li Shimin was extremely disappointed with the prince.

Otherwise, why didn't he visit Li Chengqian for so long? Everyone already knew that Li Chengqian went to Yucai Academy. At first, he impeached Li Shen for kidnapping the prince and demanded severe punishment. Later, Li Shimin calmed down after saying that it was his own intention.

Today Li Shen came to court again. The purpose of Li Shen going to court was to hear that someone wanted Li Tai to study in Shangshu Province. As for who he heard it from, of course it was his uncles. This is no small matter, although it is for learning purposes.

But this was a kind of temptation for officials from aristocratic families. Li Shen didn't want others to take advantage of Li Chengqian's absence.

At the court meeting, everyone saw Li Shen standing in front and yawning, and felt that something must have happened today. Wei Ting has now been promoted to Secretary Lang and he should take the lead in today's affairs. But he had a bad feeling after seeing Li Shen.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is not interested in government affairs now, and your Majesty is working hard every day. I invite the King of Wei to come to the Shangshu Province to watch and share your Majesty's worries. Now that the Tang Dynasty is busy with government affairs, if you only rely on your Majesty, I will worry about the dragon body. Please grant your permission." No matter what, Wei Ting still stood up and made a suggestion.

Zheng Jingsi, who was already the minister, Zuo Cheng, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Master Wei said is absolutely true. The prince cannot share your worries for your majesty now. Your majesty is too busy. I feel that the king of Wei has matured, steady and filial in recent years. I have to share your Majesty's worries many times, so I should give King Wei a chance to practice."

"My minister agrees."

"Subsidiary"

More than half of the officials began to second the proposal. Everyone said that it was just a matter of letting Li Tai go to Shangshu Province to watch.

Li Shimin didn't say anything. In recent days, many ministers have written letters asking Li Tai to help with some small things to train him. But the prince is still there.

This will definitely have some impact on the prince. He wanted to test the prince, but he was also afraid that the prince would not be able to bear it. Today, so many ministers asked him to report together, which made it difficult for him to make a decision.

"Your Majesty, the prince only went to the academy to study military affairs. It has been more than a month now. It is not in line with the etiquette for the King of Wei to enter the Shangshu Province. I think it is not allowed." Wei Zheng has always supported Li Chengqian, and he did not give up even if Li Chengqian made nonsense.

"Mr. Zheng, this is wrong. The prince's behavior in the first period is obvious to all, and he has neglected the government for so long. Your Majesty is very worried.

Now King Wei just wants to help His Majesty share some of the burden. It's reasonable, how can you say it's unethical? Isn't filial piety unethical? Zheng Jingsi retorted

"Yes, Aye. I feel sad when I see Aye watching the memorial every day late at night. My eldest brother is not here, so I am willing to share the worries for Aye." Li Tai said sincerely.

Li Shimin looked at the son he liked and felt that it would be okay to enter the Shangshu Province. At this moment, a loud voice remembered: "I am also willing to share Aye's worries."
