"Actually, I came here today to ask for something!"
Li Shimin was shocked.
Usually, they were the ones who asked for help from Sun Simiao.
How are you today?
Why did Sun Simiao take the initiative to beg them?
He is a person who has no demands or desires. This is the first time he takes the initiative to ask for something.
Everyone also wanted to know what happened and what he wanted to ask for.
Li Shimin wants to know even more.
So he asked:
"Master Sun, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be so polite. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it!"
Li Shimin was a good man, so he did not agree directly, but said that he could do it. Otherwise, if he finished his words and could not finish it, it would be very embarrassing. As an emperor, this is the basic way of speaking.
Maybe I've suffered losses before.
"Your Majesty, you can definitely do this! And it will be beneficial to all people in the future!"
Sun Simiao said with great certainty.
A major event that will benefit all people, I’m afraid it’s not an easy matter.
A building benefits the people, not directly, but indirectly. After all, the concentration of people makes it easier to manage, more efficient, and faster in research, so it can better serve the people. That's why Sun Simiao said so.
Li Shimin must be thinking, what on earth is going on?
He asked again: "What is that? Tell me!"
Sun Simiao said slowly at this time: "In recent times, the pharmaceutical company where I work has recruited a large number of talents, about a thousand people, to devote themselves to researching new drugs to benefit the Tang Dynasty!"
When he said this, the three people present nodded in approval.
This is indeed beneficial to all people.
"In this regard, your pharmaceutical company has indeed done a good job. I very much agree with your approach. It has also provided a large number of jobs for the private sector and a large number of favorable conditions for the economic development of Datang."
Regarding this point, Li Shimin agreed very much, but although he praised him, he did not mention a word about Li Min.
Changsun Wuji on the side also seemed to realize this.
That is, the relationship between Li Min and Li Shimin is still tense. This means there is room for maneuver.
"Your Majesty, you also know that these extra thousand people are very crowded in Shengtang Group. After all, Shengtang Group is a group with four thousand workers. An extra thousand people is equivalent to
There are five thousand people. There are so many that we can no longer accommodate them."
As soon as Sun Simiao's words came out.
Changsun Wuji was shocked and frowned.
"Master Sun, what did you say? There are 5,000 people in the Shengtang Group?"
Five thousand people! That’s not a small amount.
It took less than half a year to go from a dozen people at the beginning to 5,000 people now. How did Li Min do it?
"Yes, five thousand people! According to the wishes of the Sixth Prince, we will recruit another ten thousand people! Otherwise, we won't be able to do anything!"
That’s fifteen thousand people! Then Li Min’s Shengtang Group can be regarded as the sixth largest family in Chang’an.
In Chang'an alone, the size of the five major aristocratic families in the entire Tang Dynasty is not comparable to that of Li Min, but given time, they will definitely be able to do it!
"this……"
That's not just a huge business territory, it's simply a business empire.
Li Min was so powerful that he could recruit 5,000 people in just half a year and feed them.
You know, in this era, how difficult it is just to feed a child.
However, it took Li Min half a year to feed 5,000 people. In fact, the number was even higher, 5,000 people, 5,000 families, plus the development of the surrounding economy.
Not to mention too many, it is definitely possible to support 30,000 people.
Is that human being?
"Wuji let Master Sun continue talking!"
Li Shimin interrupted.
He signaled Sun Simiao to continue.
"Then, Shengtang Group's land is completely insufficient."
"Did he ask you to come and let me approve the land? If so, he can go to the Ministry of Industry directly and someone will naturally handle it. I can't make the decision on this matter!"
Li Shimin asked directly.
How could there be such an emperor?
Obviously what Li Min did was for the Tang Dynasty, but he behaved like this.
"No, I came here this time not because of the Sixth Prince's intention, but because I think it is necessary for me to come here. And it's not to get the land, but to get an approval document for building a house from Your Majesty!"
In ancient times, especially in the city of Chang'an, not all houses you wanted to build were built, but the imperial court's approval was required before construction could begin.
If the court does not agree and you build it again, then sorry, someone will naturally knock down your house, and some will fine you or even put you in jail.
Therefore, this procedure is essential.
"When it comes to building a house, you should go to the Ministry of Industry. For such a small matter, there is no need to say anything."
Li Shimin still didn't care.
But Sun Simiao said: "Your Majesty, this time is very important. The house the Sixth Prince wants to build is as high as thirty floors!"
As soon as Sun Simiao said this, the cup in Li Shimin's hand almost fell to the ground.
He was shocked.
"Thirty floors? The buildings in my Tang Dynasty can only have fifteen floors at most, right? Is he crazy?"
Li Shimin obviously didn't believe it.
Furthermore, if such a tall guy is really created, his palace will lose its momentum. He is worthy of being an emperor, but he still has to look up and see Li Min standing high above him?
So he didn't approve of it in his heart.
Changsun Wuji even said: "Is he probably suffering from a hypothetical disease? How can he build a thirty-story building? Even Yan Lide can't build a thirty-story building, right?"
Yan Lide, as mentioned by Changsun Wuji, was born in Chang'an and came from an engineering family. He was good at architecture, crafts and painting. In the early years of Wude, he was awarded the title of Cao, the official of King Qin (Li Shimin), to join the army, and moved to serve the emperor. During the Zhenguan period, he served as a general and a young craftsman.
, he was about to become a great craftsman and served as minister of the Ministry of Industry. Now he has resigned and rarely leaves the house.
He was ordered to build the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, supervise the construction of Cuiwei and Yuhua Palaces, build the Zhaoling Mausoleum, and preside over the construction of the outer Guohe towers of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, etc.
Regarding him, he was an extremely famous architect in the Tang Dynasty at that time.
When Changsun Wuji talked about him, he wanted to compare him with Li Min.
"Mr. Qi, I think a sixth prince can be created!"
"Your Majesty, Li Min will not do anything he is not sure about. I think this matter should be carefully considered."
Queen Changsun expressed.
She tends to believe Li Min.
Since Li Min wants to do it, he must have his reasons.
In addition, Sun Simiao also took the initiative to mention it.
Li Shimin had no reason not to consider it.
So you need to think about this matter carefully.
"I don't believe it anyway, why not let Yan Lide witness it together?"
Changsun Wuji said this.
"I thought this was feasible, and I rashly agreed to it without verifying everything. I'm afraid it's not the result I want."
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to agree.
Therefore, let Yan Lide come over to witness it. If Yan Lide says it can't be built, then it won't be built.
Everything should be pushed to Yan Lide, and he, Li Shimin, has no responsibility at all.
