Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1767: busy prince

This time, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises reported the steel production expansion plan. Although Li Xuan saw the crisis of overcapacity, Li Xuan also saw more problems.

The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises sees a wonderful prospect for the expansion of production capacity and the development of the steel industry, but very few people can see the crisis of overcapacity.

This also made Li Xuan dissatisfied.

At present, the organization of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is too bloated and huge, and its subordinate departments have increased to more than a dozen, managing thousands of state-owned enterprises directly under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises or subordinate to local finance.

And all walks of life have them, and management has completely failed to keep up.

Of course, this is not all because of the low management efficiency of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises itself. The main reason is that there are too many enterprises under management. The thousands of enterprises managed by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are basically medium and large enterprises, occupying the industrial and commercial enterprises of the empire. In some industries, especially in heavy industries such as steel, coal, chemical industry, shipbuilding, and machinery, the proportion of the output value is more than 50% or even more than 70% or 80%.

In addition to these companies that are directly managed, there are also more companies that hold or participate in shares. Although they do not directly manage these companies, since they have shares, they naturally have to manage one or two. If it causes the loss of state-owned assets, the problem will be bigger.

If this part is also included, the assets directly or indirectly managed by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are extremely large, accounting for more than 50% of the manufacturing output.

With such a huge scale of assets, even the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is already very large in scale and has a large number of personnel, but it is still unable to do what it wants, resulting in negligence in some matters.

In Li Xuan's view, the expansion of the iron and steel industry this time is completely dereliction of duty by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

However, Li Xuan still did not take action personally, but threw the matter to the crown prince Li Hao!

That evening, I reviewed hundreds of reports on and off throughout the day, and also held eight meetings, met with more than 20 ministers, and hurriedly dealt with lunch, until the prince Li Hao in the evening.

After finally being able to take a breath, Li Hao, who was about to finish his dinner, continued to bury his head in his work and review the report. The dinner had just been served, and he hadn't had time to move his chopsticks.

There was a second-class secretary at the secretariat who found him with a report on steel production expansion from the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. After handing over the report, he also brought an oral order from the Holy Son of Heaven, Li Xuan, and asked him to report this report to the Holy Spirit tomorrow.

After the second secretary left, Li Hao sighed deeply!

Throughout the ages, it is estimated that no prince can be so busy with himself!

Several times in many dynasties, many princes were all uneasy, and they acted cautiously, for fear of causing any trouble, and then lost the position of the crown prince.

And these princes generally do not have any real power, and they are rarely able to actually handle government affairs.

Even if there are some princes who have real power and can handle practical affairs, it is estimated that no prince has as much authority as himself. Except for military affairs, other Li Hao can basically intervene.

Especially since Liu Bagou became an official, there has been a lack of a prestige minister on duty in the imperial study, which also means that the imperial study no longer has a role like the first assistant.

At this time, Li Xuan just let him handle many affairs when he had nothing to do, and was responsible for coordinating various departments, especially some affairs within the imperial study, and basically assumed part of Liu Bagou's early years.

And that made him even busier.

Since he completed his studies as an adult, Li Hao has started to contact and handle government affairs. In the early years, he was fine. He was in the learning stage. He basically focused on watching and listening, and he was also responsible for handling small matters.

But later, the affairs he was responsible for increased year by year and became more and more important. When he started taking turns in charge of a certain department, he was already busy every day.

And after Liu Bagou came to office, there was no one to help Li Xuan with many trivial matters, and Li Xuan was unwilling to engage in any more first assistants, and at the same time he himself was unwilling to deal with these messy non-core affairs himself.

He Li Xuan has been busy for so many years, and he doesn't want to continue to be so busy, and he also wants to be lazy and enjoy himself, so in the past three or four years, he selectively threw some of the chores to the crown prince Li Hao.

Li Hao was still very excited at the beginning, thinking that this was a symbol of his position as the heir, and he also wanted to take over part of the power in advance and establish himself while his father and emperor Li Xuan was still healthy and able to control the overall situation. authority.

In this way, when the emperor's father dies, he can take over the entire empire smoothly after he ascends the throne, and he does not have to worry about the same hardship as Qin Ershi, and he will die in a second generation.

So at that time, he was very excited to start the purgatory mode. He got up at dawn to handle government affairs. When he was eating at noon, he also learned how to see his ministers and listen to reports while eating, and then continued to work overtime at night.

His feet do not touch the ground, this is how he has been in the past few years!

Looking back now, it seems that I haven't had a good rest for several years!

Being a prince is really tiring!

Sometimes he doesn't know whether it is he who has actual power in this way, but the prince who is so busy that he is flying, or the prince who has no actual power in ancient times~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but is worried!

Because the princes of other dynasties in ancient times were probably also tired, but he, Li Hao, was physically tired!

Really tired!

Sometimes he especially wanted to say to his father: “Father, can you throw all these troublesome things to your son? You can deal with it a little bit. You can’t throw all your affairs to your son. Your son is also a human being, not iron. of!

But how can such words be said, how dare to say it!

To say lightly is to be unfilial. As a son, you don’t want to work hard, but instead you have to keep Laozi busy every day. Is this not unfilial?

Seriously, this means giving up power voluntarily, which will have a great impact on future enthronement, and a very important point is that if you shirk and don’t work, your attitude is too negative, which will make the father suspect that he is It's not that I don't want to be an emperor, but that I want to be a literary youth or something.

He still remembers that six years ago, when he was not so busy, he fell in love with poetry and articles, and spent a lot of time studying poetry. As a result, he was severely criticized by his father, saying that you, Li Hao, are the prince and the future of the empire. Emperor, not some **** literary youth!

Although I didn't say it directly, the meaning at the time was almost the same: if you don't want to be the prince, just say it directly, I will definitely make you wish!

Don't want to be a prince? Don't want to be king?

What a joke, of course it is impossible!

In his life, Li Hao, since he can remember, everyone has told him that you will be the emperor of the empire in the future.

If he is not an emperor in this life, he may not be able to find his purpose in life at all.

You can't be like the other brothers, go overseas and hang out with the natives!

So although he is busy now, he has no idea of ​​giving up his power at all. This power has only been obtained after more than 20 years of hard work. How can he give up easily.
