Li Min and Wang Xuance concentrated on controlling the adverse effects of the extreme cold. They invested a lot of manpower and material resources in an effort to minimize the effects.
If this extreme cold storm cannot be effectively contained, then Li Min may give up here.
After all, if you can't develop well here, then there's no point in staying here.
This is what Li Min is thinking.
But Wang Xuance still hoped that Li Min could face it well.
Because he didn't want to give up this place. It brought a lot of benefits to Shengtang Group.
These benefits can help Shengtang Group develop in better directions.
And Li Min will not give up here so easily, so he will try his best to deal with these things.
While Li Min, Wang Xuance, Di Renjie and others were dealing with the extremely cold storm in Huazhou.
At this time, Li Shimin, who was on the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty, could no longer sit still.
Because this time is approaching the Chinese New Year of the Tang Dynasty.
Every year during the Chinese New Year in the Tang Dynasty, it is lively and lively.
Last year, the imperial court replaced the Tang Dynasty Group and made many huge celebration projects.
Now Li Shimin can be said to be riding a tiger with difficulty.
Because all New Year celebration items now need to be handled by the court.
And Li Shimin also enjoyed it endlessly.
He also wanted to celebrate properly.
But the problem is that the expenses are getting bigger and bigger every year. This is also one of the reasons that gives Li Shimin a headache.
But a headache is a headache, so I still have to do this.
If we don't do this, the people may be disappointed.
Where has the court's face gone?
And there is another point, that is, the Chinese New Year is a barometer of whether the economy is developing well at the end of the year.
If the economy gets better, we will spend more money.
This is exactly what Li Shimin wants to tell the world.
Under his leadership, Datang flourished.
It's getting better every year.
Therefore, it is naturally more lively every year.
Because of this incident, Dai Zhou found Li Shimin again. He said: "Your Majesty, what is the difference between the number of fireworks this year and previous years?"
Li Shimin said: "I think it will increase by more than 30% compared to previous years. Only in this way can the people know the difference."
Li Shimin is a good person sometimes.
He does not allow others to say that he has not changed.
Therefore, every year the imperial court's expenditure on New Year's Eve increased exponentially.
This is Li Shimin's character.
Of course, as I said just now, this is also to show economic development.
And having said that, it is precisely because he spends money so quickly. To another extent, he also supports Shengtang Group.
Increased circulation of market economy.
This is a good thing for Shengtang Group.
Only when Shengtang Group has money can it devote its energy to scientific research.
This approach of the imperial court is nothing more than accelerating their research progress.
Dai Zhou said: "Increasing this 30% will probably cost the court an extra million taels of silver. Don't think about contacting me anymore? I want to ask you, should you spend this money? Your Majesty, please think twice!"
He is quite cautious when it comes to spending money.
Regarding this, Li Shimin said: "It doesn't matter, just celebrate the New Year once a year. What's the point of spending more money?"
Regarding Li Shimin’s explanation.
Dai Zhou was very helpless.
"Okay, if it doesn't make any sense, just go and do it quickly. That's all for this matter, so go deal with it quickly! There is not much time left before the Chinese New Year, and we have to prepare in advance. Don't wait until then
Then buy these things from Shengtang Group. You must know that if you buy these things from Shengtang Group temporarily, they will increase the price. There is no need for us to care about spending more money. If we don’t do it in advance, the money spent may be
It’s more than 30%. So you have to deal with this matter quickly.”
This was a problem I encountered the previous year.
It is indeed a big problem.
Because of the temporary decision, the court spent a lot of money.
Li Shimin urged.
There are hardships in wearing Zhou.
Okay, let's leave it at that.
But Dai Zhou still had something to say.
He also wanted to tell Li Shimin something.
A very important thing.
So he immediately said: "Your Majesty! There is something I just want to tell you."
Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.
"What's the matter? Is there anything more important than celebrating the New Year? Hurry up and take care of the New Year's things. Go quickly."
Li Shimin was very anxious and asked Dai Zhou to deal with the New Year matters.
As for Dai Zhou, he really wanted to talk to Li Shimin about something.
"Your Majesty! I really have something very important to tell you."
He said this again.
It would be impossible for Li Shimin not to listen.
Although Li Shimin is a little impatient now.
But he still had to hear about it.
"Okay, tell me, what's going on?"
Li Shimin then asked.
Dai Zhou took a breath.
Then he said: "I wonder if your Majesty has thought about the selection of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt something was wrong.
"Dai Zhou, what do you mean by this? Haven't you always been the Minister of Household Affairs? I have no intention of replacing you!"
"Yes, that's right, I have always been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. But in the past few years, Your Majesty, I have become old and have insufficient energy. I don't seem to be able to handle some things as smoothly as before. I even do things faster.
It’s getting slower and slower. If this continues, I’m afraid it will hinder His Majesty’s attitude towards doing things. This may not be a good thing for Datang. So what I want to say is that I want to return home in good clothes and retire well!”
When Dai Zhou said this, Li Shimin naturally refused.
At the same time, Li Shimin was even more surprised as to why Dai Zhou would say such a thing.
It is true that Dai Zhou wanted to leave a long time ago.
Because the workload Li Shimin gave himself was too intense.
But if Dai Zhou doesn’t do some things, who can?
If Dai Zhou doesn't do it, no one can do it.
Therefore, Dai Zhou still has to do these things.
But Dai Zhou didn't want to do it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because what he has done has completely exceeded what he can do.
"Why? Aren't you doing a good job? Do you know that there are not many people I trust, and you are one of them. You work hard. I will definitely not treat you badly."
Li Shimin said this.
It's like a boss trying to retain his employees.
And Li Shimin didn't understand at all why Dai Zhou was in a hurry to leave? That's because the things Li Shimin did for him every day were very difficult, and he had to be there at any time.
It has been like this for more than ten years. He was tired and didn't want to do anything anymore. That's why he wanted to resign from Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, this is not a question of money. It is not a question of glory. It is just that my health is really failing. Please give me your permission! Your Majesty can find someone who can replace me."
Li Shimin was angry.
It is impossible for Dai Zhou to leave.
So, he said again: "I don't want to do it! I won't allow you to leave the court. You should still be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance with me! You can't go anywhere."
Li Shimin's voice was loud and he spoke clearly.
That's because he doesn't want Dai Zhou to leave.
Regarding this point, Li Shimin did not back down at all, and this kind of thing gave him a lot of headaches.
Dai Zhou is about to cry.
How could Li Shimin keep himself?
I really can't do it anymore.
He was unhappy with this job.
Why stay.
Moreover, he had devoted so many years of his youth to the Tang Dynasty, and it was time to go back and rest.
"Your Majesty! Let me beg you. I have done enough as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. I have spent more than half of my life in the court. Now I just want to be at ease and spend my time quietly.
In his old age. So I ask your Majesty to agree! Then find someone who can take my place!"
Li Shimin naturally refused to let Dai Zhou leave.
Because now there are very few people he can use or trust.
If Dai Zhou is allowed to leave again, he will definitely be very unhappy.
So Li Shimin began to think wildly. He said:
"Did that kid say something to you? Did that kid hinder it? That kid tried to make you leave me, right?"
Regarding Li Min's incident of snatching away Minister Li Shimin, there are many incidents, and the most recent one is Wei Zheng.
And everyone left very decisively.
And they were willing to pay this for Li Min. Then Li Shimin's head hurt a little, why? Why? It just happened like this.
Li Shimin never thought that things would be like this. He was still blaming Li Min. It must have been something Li Min said to Dai Zhou?
"Your Majesty, the sixth prince, really didn't say anything to me. This time, I am really tired. I want to leave the court and spend my old age in peace, that's all. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to monitor me!
"
Li Shimin smiled.
How could he do this?
If you do this, you will be very untrustworthy.
"How can I spy on you? What are you saying? You are my subject. How could I do something like that? I want you to stay in the palace well. If you say
If you think you have done too many things, then if you need anyone to help you, just ask them directly. I will definitely meet all your demands. Our Datang is so open-minded, and you don’t need to make the relationship too complicated.
Zombie, don’t you think so?
So please stick to this matter in the future and don’t mention it again. If you mention it again, I will be angry.”
Although Li Shimin temporarily suppressed Dai Zhou, Dai Zhou still yearned for freedom in his heart.
In his opinion, he didn't want to do this place anymore. He had been serving the imperial court for decades.
In fact, he should take care of himself and spend the rest of his life well instead of spending time on this. So he and Li Shimin said again:
"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this for a long time. Please don't influence me anymore."
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly took Dai Zhou's hand and said.
"Give me a little while longer and don't mention this matter again. Is that okay?"
Dai Zhou didn't understand why Li Shimin always wanted to keep him? Maybe he was afraid that he would cause some chain reactions. After all, such a loyal person suddenly left the emperor. It would definitely arouse speculation among the people below. Some people might even wonder if Li Shimin forced him to
left?
So some people will be very angry and even take the initiative to resign.
It is completely unclear whether these things are true or false. Even if Dai Zhou comes forward and says that this is what he wants to do, it has nothing to do with Li Shimin and he just wants to rest.
That's impossible. Some things will chill everyone's heart.
Why didn't Li Shimin know about such a thing? Therefore, Dai Zhou could not leave no matter what, even if he died of old age in the court.
He also did not allow Dai Zhou to leave.
Anything Li Shimin does now will trigger speculation from the outside world.
For example, if he divided some of Dai Zhou's things out, then other officials would definitely be curious about why he did this? Did Dai Zhou do something wrong? But if he still gave Dai Zhou so many things as usual, then everyone would
Are you thinking about whether you should reuse Dai Zhou again?
Dai Zhou would also feel uncomfortable.
It can be said that no matter what Li Shimin does, it will arouse speculation from the outside world. So now is the time to test his wisdom as a leader, how should he deal with it? The matter of Dai Zhou will not arouse speculation from the outside world. He will not be blamed for Dai Zhou
And cause some chain reactions.
At this time Li Shimin said again: "Okay, as for the fireworks, I will let Fang Xuanling do it. You can rest at home these two days. I will call you over if I have anything to do."
Li Shimin probably also knew that he had been given too many things to do recently.
So he thought of Fang Xuanling, maybe he could let Fang Xuanling help him for a while.
Dai Zhou sighed.
He knew that given the current situation, he could not leave the court.
Maybe he still needs some time to settle down. Maybe he will find a suitable opportunity in the future to talk to Li Shimin about leaving the court.
But at least not now.
Now Li Shimin is afraid that if he says it out, he will explode.
"Your Majesty, regarding this matter, you... you should think about it carefully. Then I will leave first! But I will still take care of the fireworks matter. There is no need to let Fang Xuanling do it! This matter is also my business.
."
"That's alright. It'll be hard on you then!"
"No! Your Majesty. Then I will leave first."
So Dai Zhou left Taiji Palace and went to Shengtang Group.
When he left at this time, Li Shimin sighed.
Seeing these old ministers leaving him one by one made him feel very uncomfortable. At this time, he was a little doubtful whether his way of governing the country was wrong, or was he too dependent on these ministers?
Maybe he may have to promote some young people to put the pressure on the young people, instead of relying on these old ministers all day long to break their legs.
They also have their own time. They have their own lives, children, grandchildren, and wives.
They have no such obligation and spend all their time with Li Shimin.
"Okay! Let's talk about this later." Li Shimin said after taking a long breath.
At present, he can't find a better way.
"Perhaps the Queen knows what to do." He added.
Then he stood up and walked towards Li Zhengdian. He wanted to hear Queen Changsun's opinion? Maybe she had a different opinion, that's not sure.
At least let her think about how to let Dai Zhou stay well.
