Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were sitting in the garden, very leisurely.
A lot has happened during this period of time.
He rarely rests either.
At this time, Dai Zhou appeared.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin raised his head.
"Dai Zhou, don't you know that I need to rest at this time?"
He said a little unhappy.
He appears every day recently. What's going on?
"Your Majesty, I have three things to say here! It's very urgent."
"Um?"
"Just tell me, Dai Zhou. What's the matter?"
Queen Changsun replied on behalf of Li Shimin.
It's natural to speak up if there's something urgent, but don't miss important things!
"The first thing is that with the construction of the railway, the railway company's stock has risen sharply again! It has now risen five times! The Sixth Prince has issued additional shares. Should we follow it or not?"
With the issuance of additional shares, the imperial court's share has been declining.
From close to 50% before, to around 40% now.”
Just over a month has passed.
Moreover, it seems that the market value of this railway company is growing.
Li Min's Shengtang Group is making more and more money.
Control over railway companies also became stronger.
Queen Changsun said at this time: "There must be a reason for this. Maybe Min'er needs money very much, otherwise how could he issue more money?"
Li Min issues stocks himself, which has his own inherent advantages. As long as he issues stocks himself, he can get five times the money.
That proves that he needs money very much.
But this is also risky. If there is a thunderstorm one day, it will not only lose the money of the court, but also the money of the general public.
And Li Min’s credibility, how can he gain a foothold in Datang in the future?
Li Min was not worried about this.
It’s just an additional issuance! Because he still has a lot of profitable industries, as long as he starts selling, he will definitely transfer money to supplement himself!
But Li Shimin was a little worried.
He felt that Queen Changsun was right, Li Min must be in need of money.
Otherwise, why would there be additional issuance?
So, he made a decision.
"Buy it directly! This railway is also a major national event, and we cannot let him bear the risk alone! We will try our best to buy it!"
Maybe this is what Li Shimin said, which is more inclined to what Li Min said.
Li Min cannot be allowed to bear the risk alone.
And this railway is a major national event. If Li Min fell.
Then I'm afraid this railway will be gone.
I'm afraid no one will do the next thing.
Even if there is, progress will definitely be slowed down.
Any productivity advantage will be gone.
They may take decades, even centuries, to complete.
Because they lack a kind of thought, the thought of the future.
Think about the problem from the future.
Only Li Min had this kind of thought.
No one else can do such a thing.
Li Shimin also admitted this.
"Yes! I'll write it down first!"
As expected, the first thing was very important. Li Shimin believed that if he didn't take action, it would affect the future.
Fortunately, Dai Zhou came to speak.
So, Li Shimin asked again:
"Then what's the second thing? Tell me quickly!"
"The second thing, regarding crops, I believe that this matter should be taken the lead by the imperial court and promoted by the imperial court. In this way, firstly, it can win the support of the people, and secondly, it can be implemented more quickly so that the people can have food and clothing.
!Thirdly, it can also share the pressure for the Shengtang Group. Now that the court has so many talents, this is another internal matter."
The meaning of Dai Zhou is obvious.
Just to help Li Min.
He cannot be allowed to bear these pressures as a Shengtang Group.
Of course, what Li Shimin cares most about is the people's hearts.
In the past period of time, the people looked at Shengtang Group more seriously than the Group.
This made him uncomfortable.
The world belongs to oneself, shouldn't these people respect themselves?
How to support Shengtang Group?
Furthermore, faster implementation can make Datang more stable.
He said this because there was another harvest recently! And there was a lot of it!
“What are his current crops?”
"Improved wheat, rice, and some things called potatoes and sweet potatoes are all high-yielding crops. The yield per mu is more than two or three times that of our other crops."
Li Shimin was shocked.
It turns out there are still some things like this.
He didn’t even know the names of many of them, and he had never tasted them!
"Okay, do as you wish. This matter must be resolved before next spring. The follow-up matters must also be dealt with. Some policies should also be introduced to encourage people to plant crops instead of eating them."
The seeds Li Min possesses are precious.
If eaten, it would be a huge waste.
Because once it's cooked, it's irreversible.
"I heard that there is also cotton, so why don't we also come together?"
"The so-called basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation come first, so regarding cotton, I think we can forcefully distribute it. Every household must plant it and give a fee. In the future, it can be collected by the imperial court, or if the Shengtang Group has an idea, it can even be done.
, we can purchase garment-making equipment with the Shengtang Group, then make it into cloth, and then sell it to cloth merchants! To achieve a balance!"
Li Shimin learned a lot from Li Min in the past two years.
Therefore, his improvement in governance is still very obvious.
Now he knows how to do business.
How to support the country through business, how to build more state-owned enterprises to support the entire court without collecting taxes?
Of course, that would only be done under very extreme circumstances.
"yes!"
Dai Zhou remembered everything Li Shimin said.
He felt that there was something different about today's emperor.
I fully agree with everything he said.
Of course, it went very smoothly.
This may be something very comforting.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, the Tang Dynasty will definitely become stronger!"
Queen Changsun said.
From the beginning, the relationship between the two father and son was not good, but now, Li Shimin's attitude has changed.
In the future, the probability that the two of them will reconcile is very high.
Because as long as one party admits his mistake, the relationship will definitely get better.
This is what everyone wants to see.
The future will be a good thing for Shengtang Group and Datang.
But Li Min didn't think so.
He believes that having Li Shimin will only affect his progress.
It will only make him tie his hands and feet, and I don’t know what to do.
Therefore, he would rather not reconcile because there is no need to bow down for something.
Moreover, there is another person living in his body.
He is no longer the Li Min he was before.
"Dai Zhou, what's the third thing you said?"
After Li Shimin made these two decisions, he felt completely comfortable.
I feel like there is nothing that cannot be said.
Dai Zhou then spoke, and he put it at the end because this incident would have some unforeseen changes in the future of Datang.
