"What the Sixth Prince has written here is really good! What he says here is really reasonable. It's much better than some people's unfounded claims! No! Some people can't be compared with them at all. That would lower their status.
!”
This was said in a sour way, which made some people unhappy.
But Cheng Yaojin didn't name anyone, so who wants to go up? That's who he's talking about.
Wei Zheng then said:
"Yes, I also included some pictures to explain it. It's really a painstaking effort!"
Some officials also praised him indifferently.
"It turns out that reservoirs have so many benefits! Why haven't we thought about it before!?"
"When there was a flood in Shandong, if there had been a reservoir, the result might have been different!"
"Yes, I'm afraid there will be no more floods in Datang in the future!"
"So, I support the Sixth Prince in building the reservoir!"
Someone else directly suggested to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, why not give that piece of land to the Sixth Prince? Let him preside over it, and it will definitely have miraculous effects!"
"Yes, there are no people there, I think it's okay!"
"Perhaps this can be regarded as an example. When we build reservoirs in the future, we can use it as a template."
…
More and more people are persuading Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at the newspaper reports without much expression on his face, and his heart was already filled with turmoil.
Because what is said here is so true, and it is accompanied by pictures, in the form of comics, which are so vivid that people can’t put it down after reading it.
Hou Junji and Gao Shilian were stunned when they saw it.
Is that thing really that good?
Hou Junji said:
"Humph, it's just some articles. Do you need to be like this?"
"Hou Junji, have you read this article? If you haven't, come and read it. Don't take it for granted!"
Cheng Yaojin said again.
How could this person be like this, trying to influence Li Min's behavior again and again.
That is not allowed by some people.
"Hou Junji, you should also take a look. I think that boy has a lot of good things to say."
Li Shimin said this, so Hou Junji had no choice but to join in.
Then I started reading.
This newspaper has a lot of space talking about the benefits of reservoirs.
There are more than a dozen benefits alone. Whether it is for farmers, cities, or groups, they are all very beneficial.
No wonder Li Min always wanted to buy a piece of mountain to build a reservoir.
Whoever does this can do a lot of good things.
The more Hou Junji and Gao Shilian looked at it, the more shocked they became.
After all, not many people can write such an article.
He Li Min is one of them.
Isn't this too scary?
At the same time, another thought arose in their minds.
Hou Junji first said: "Since this reservoir is so good, why not let the court handle it? This is what the court should do, not what a private businessman should think about!"
Yes, they grasped this key point. If this is the case, why didn't the imperial court do it?
Gao Shilian then said:
"I think this is also the case. In order to benefit the people, it is natural for the imperial court to help."
This person was not a bad person originally, but because of Changsun Wuji's death, he targeted Li Min everywhere, and Li Min actually expressed his understanding.
Anyway, as long as you don't mess with me, you can do whatever you want.
As for these two people, to put it bluntly, they would not allow Li Min to participate.
But at this time, Xue Rengui directly retorted: "How about you two be responsible for it? After all, it is best for you to do this thing that benefits the people."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were frightened.
That is a thankless task, are they responsible?
If you don't do it well, you will end up being scolded and disgraced.
In serious cases, you may even be demoted, so you cannot do this.
Hou Junji said quickly: "This matter should be handled by the Ministry of Industry and has nothing to do with us!"
He didn't care about this matter at all.
Gao Shilian also said: "Yes, yes, the Ministry of Industry's affairs should be handled by them!"
That made everyone in the Ministry of Industry anxious.
"If you don't have that ability, talk less! Don't take this kind of thing for granted. As far as I know, the benefits of this reservoir are more than that, but it's just not written on it. And the architecture in it must be unique. If the Ministry of Industry hadn't done it
If it is good, I am afraid it will become a disaster, and in this case, it will be detrimental to the court."
Xue Rengui said again.
His analysis is very reasonable.
"Consort, what do you mean?"
Hou Junji was angry.
"What? Am I right? If you don't dare, I can sincerely ask Your Majesty to leave this matter to me!"
"you……"
How could Hou Junji and the others agree?
This matter is related to Xue Rengui, so what is the difference between doing it and Li Min?
The result is the same! Because they are in the same group, it doesn’t matter who handles it. It’s just that there is an extra layer of Xue Rengui.
Therefore, they naturally refused.
However, they couldn't agree.
Just have to be anxious.
"Okay, I have made a decision on this matter!"
When Li Shimin saw that everyone was arguing, he opened his mouth and said.
Everyone became quiet.
Waiting for Li Shimin's decision.
"As for the mountain land, I can grant it to that boy, but there is a principle. This piece of land can only be rented, not sold, and the lease period is twenty years!"
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, everyone was shocked.
People say that Li Min is smart, but they didn't expect that Li Shimin is even smarter.
But usually, Li Min doesn't seek Li Shimin very often.
This time, because of the mountain incident, it was brought to the court, and then there was such a scene.
About Li Shimin’s decision.
At this time, no one from the civil and military officials came out to object.
Even Hou Junji and Gao Shilian were like this.
What else did the two of them say?
Just rent, not sell.
Twenty years later, this mountainous area was still owned by the imperial court.
So aren’t the things above also owned by the imperial court?
This may be a gift that Li Shimin left for his future.
"Then what if the Sixth Prince doesn't want it?"
Hou Junji asked again.
"Don't want it? Forget it!"
Li Shimin actually said such words.
It feels like angry words, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Fang Xuanling said at this time: "I thought the Sixth Prince would definitely buy it, but how much does it cost to rent it? This is the key!"
"Theoretically, if it is rented out, it must be quite high, but since he aims at the welfare of the people, I will charge some money from Zhengxing, just ten million taels!"
This Li Shimin really dared to speak.
But the money he was cheated by Li Min didn't end there.
This might be considered a win back.
Such a fight between the two father and son contributed a lot to Datang's GDP.
"Okay, that's it for now. Leave it to the Ministry of Industry to deal with it, and don't talk about it to anyone else!"
