Chapter 549 Li Chengqians life is not as good as that of a Shengtang Group worker
New Year's Eve night,
There was a lot of excitement outside the Shengtang Group.
At the same time, none of the Wang family in the East Market were happy at all.
Because this period of time has been too frustrating.
They work very hard, even just to make a little profit.
It’s more about resting on one’s laurels.
In the past, they were so arrogant.
Now, it is different from the past.
Suddenly, the people in the city saw a large number of fireworks set off above the tenement building. The whole night was filled with fireworks, which was very beautiful.
In comparison, the palace seems a bit shabby.
Apart from the singing and dancing that can only be seen inside, there are no other celebrations.
When the fireworks flew into the sky, everyone stood up, looked at the fireworks in the sky, and made their wishes for the coming year.
In Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin looked at the fireworks outside the window.
At this time, his harem and princes all ran out to watch the fireworks.
Only he, Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian looked at each other.
"This kid, by doing this during the Chinese New Year, he is clearly showing off! He is embarrassing us!"
Li Chengqian said this.
From his tone, you can feel his displeasure.
This is Li Min's ability, it would be meaningless for him to say this.
Li Shimin said nothing and just looked at the fireworks outside.
"Father, I think that the Shengtang Bank should be controlled by our imperial court and we cannot let them go on like this! I think that he must have used the bank's money to make those fireworks. Spending money like this,
Total lack of restraint!”
"Okay, stop talking about Gan'er. Min'er has his own way of doing things. We can't speculate on his thoughts. Moreover, he also promised the court to take two-tenths of the profit every year. As for what he does, we don't have to worry about it.
!”
Queen Changsun said so.
Only then did Li Shimin speak.
"As for management, that guy signed a contract with the imperial court and it cannot be changed. But if the Shengtang Group can make more money, why not give Datang a chance? In the future, when he returns, the Shengtang Group will also become the property of the imperial court.
What happens to him now, I don’t want to care about him! Don’t mention this matter again in the future!”
Li Shimin said so.
These words made Li Chengqian a little embarrassed.
I wanted Li Min to stop being arrogant, but in the end, Li Shimin told me.
"Yes, Father!"
"Do you know what Li Min has been doing recently?"
Li Shimin suddenly asked.
Queen Changsun expressed confusion.
"I don't know this!"
"Someone is coming!"
She didn't know, but Li Shimin naturally had a way to find out.
At this moment a guard came in immediately.
"What is the recent situation of Shengtang Group?"
Li Shimin asked.
The guard said straightly: "The Sixth Prince paid one hundred to one thousand taels to all the people working in the Shengtang Group, which is the year-end bonus, and gave them ten days of vacation. These ten days of vacation are calculated.
It was said that it was for them to go back to visit relatives. The younger one also heard that in the next period of time, there will be ten days of leave for the workers every six months. In the words of the sixth prince, this is a paid holiday. There is even a day off every seven days.
On the same day, workers can be allowed to go out for fun, and if they work overtime, they will be given twice the overtime pay!"
"What! This kid actually did such a thing!"
Li Shimin was shocked that he could still do this.
At the same time, I thought about myself, could I do this in the future?
Give officials time to rest?
As for Li Chengqian, he was a little jealous.
In this case, he would be worse than a worker of Shengtang Group?
It’s really frustrating to be such a prince.
It's really embarrassing to say it out loud.
On the other hand, Queen Changsun didn't have so many desires.
Money is something that cannot be brought with you in life or taken away with you in death.
He is already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Money or not, it doesn’t matter.
But Li Chengqian is different.
He is still just a prince and has nothing.
The only thing that may be superior to others in terms of status, and the rest, is really nothing.
The guard continued:
"Yes, the Sixth Prince did this. Now it has caused a storm in the city. There are already many people in Chang'an City who want to join the Shengtang Group."
Calculating this, at least more than 30 million taels of money will be spent to pay bonuses to the workers this time.
Such pride is due to the continuous efforts of these workers.
"Is Li Min really that profitable?"
Li Chengqian said this.
"Making money is sure!"
Queen Changsun said.
"What about the others? How much money did they get? It won't be just one thousand taels per person, right?"
Li Shimin asked next.
The guard said: "Your Majesty, they...each start with one hundred thousand taels! Sun Zhenren, Ji Ruxue and other core members each start with one million taels!"
One million taels!
hiss……
Li Shimin was shocked.
I really dare to take out this money.
In terms of core people, it should be at least nearly 20 million taels, right?
If you get 50 million taels for one New Year celebration, is the money from Shengtang Group picked up?
How do they know that if they put in the effort, they will always gain something.
Why?
Because he is playing a big chess game.
Moreover, with so much money, what can it be used for?
No need to throw it away, can you keep it for the New Year?
Money should be spent and put to practical use. Judging from his heroic behavior, after the New Year, the number of workers in Shengtang Group will definitely skyrocket again.
Next, he will not focus on labor, but focus on brainpower, and start doing some research. After all, he wants to change the Tang Dynasty, and he still has a lot to do.
As long as he achieves his goal, he is willing to spend 500 million a year.
"Anything else? Let's not talk about money!"
The more the guard talked, the more Li Shimin lost face.
Being an emperor is not as grand as being a prince.
This New Year, he did not prepare any good gifts for the ministers.
Even entertainment programs are few and far between.
In the end, it was Shengtang Group's fireworks that had the effect.
Otherwise, this year would have been miserable.
"Yes, the Sixth Prince recently purchased a large amount of sugar cane from Lingnan, and he doesn't know what he wants to do with it!"
"sugar cane?"
Li Shimin was puzzled.
At this time, white sugar could not really be produced. It was only in the later period that white sugar technology made great progress. At that time, white sugar technology was developed based on the advanced sugar production experience of India at that time.
During the Zhenguan period, there was no such thing as using sugar cane to make food.
"What does this kid want to do?"
Queen Changsun said, "Perhaps another new industry is about to come out?"
"Maybe, maybe you can see the results after a while?"
"Your Majesty, now that all the people are enjoying themselves, why not go out and have fun with all the concubines?"
Queen Changsun saw that Li Shimin had been paying attention to Li Min, so she suggested this.
"Okay! Let's go out and take a look!"
Li Shimin was also relieved.
The family waited and then left the palace to watch the fireworks ahead.
