Chapter 34 The First Horseman
A gleam of light flashed in Changsun Wuji's long and narrow eyes, and Gu Jing Wubo's face was rarely moved.

"Your Majesty, do you have to put this matter on the agenda?"

Since His Majesty said that day that it can remove the smoke poison from the charcoal, many people have already set their sights on it.

Undercurrents are surging in Chang'an City, and the major aristocratic families have secretly acted.Not only is it difficult for the imperial court to reclaim other lands with coal, but those that have already been reclaimed are already active, trying to reclaim them.

He didn't know about other people, but in the past two days, the number of people who visited his door suddenly increased, and they were full of hints.I hope he can speak out on this matter and allow the private sector to operate.

It's just that this matter is too involved, and I am a little confused about His Majesty's plan.

Speaking of allowing the private sector to be private, he secretly gathered a lot of charcoal-rich land.He said that private private ownership is not allowed, but he released the rumors ahead of time.

So, including him, many people were cautiously silent.

Never thought that His Majesty would leave him behind, and he would take the initiative to talk about this topic!

"more or less……"

Li Shimin nodded vaguely.

What do you mean by almost!
This kind of thing, putting it on the agenda means putting it on the agenda, and not putting it on the agenda means not putting it on the agenda. What does it mean?
However, since His Majesty kept himself private and said it was a good thing, does it mean that the eldest grandson's family would be involved in the coal-fired business?
If this is the case, then the eldest grandson family will undoubtedly be even more powerful.

He will add another pillar after Yan Tie, and within his lifetime, he will be able to develop the eldest grandson's family into a wealthy family that can truly rival the five surnames and seven Wangwang!

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked tentatively.

"Then, I don't know if His Majesty intends to specialize or..."

Li Shimin glanced at his brother-in-law calmly, his eyes were as calm as water, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Brother Auxiliary Machine, what do you think of this matter? For the imperial court, is it better to be a franchise or a private company?"

"Wei Chen thinks that each has its pros and cons..."

As Changsun Wuji spoke, he secretly observed Li Shimin's expression.Seeing Li Shimin nodding slightly and not expressing his position, he felt a little clueless in his heart, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to test the way.

"If it is a franchise, although it can increase the revenue of the national treasury, it is suspected of competing with the people for profits. Wei Chen is worried that it will attract criticism..."

Zhangsun Wuji's words are not entirely from a personal point of view. After all, there are precedents before. Datang's salt and iron business officials did not specialize in it, but handed it over to major families. Among them, the Changsun family was one of the biggest beneficiaries.

This is actually a tacit understanding between the imperial court and the major families in Guanzhong and Shandong's new nobles, sharing interests and governing the world together.

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly.

In fact, he hesitated for a long time.

Although he has ordered Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to secretly reclaim a lot of charcoal-rich land, there are still many charcoal-producing areas in the hands of major aristocratic families.

If he really wants to stick to the imperial court franchise, I am afraid it will attract a strong backlash from the major families.If he gave up directly, he would be a little unwilling. After all, the huge benefits contained in it made him unable to resist.

At this time, seeing Changsun Wuji repeating the same old tune again, he couldn't help but feel unhappy and couldn't help but reply.

"Even if I allow them to operate, what can they do if they don't have a way to deal with the charcoal poisoning smoke? Is it possible that they can force me to fail?"

"Don't dare! Wei Chen doesn't mean this, but Wei Chen thinks that there is no wall that does not leak the wind in this world. As long as someone is doing this kind of craftsmanship, I am afraid it is difficult to keep it completely secret..."

Wealth and silk move people's hearts, the benefits here are too great, no one can and no one dares to control and eat alone, even if this person is the emperor.

Changsun Wuji lowered his eyelids and nodded calmly.He believed that with the wisdom of His Majesty today, he would definitely be able to understand what he meant.

"Heh—they are really powerful!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and put down the tea bowl in his hand.I don't want to be entangled on this topic anymore, so I decided to go straight to the point.

"I don't know brother auxiliary machine, are you interested in this matter?"

Zhangsun Wuji was shocked, and he raised his head in disbelief.

He was a little unsure whether the emperor really intended to involve the eldest grandson family, or was testing himself.

In the past two years, my sister has been the only favorite in the harem, and I have also risen all the way. Now I am the Duke of Qi, in charge of the personnel department, and participate in the center, just like His Majesty's first favorite minister.

The salt and iron business is also in full swing, with daily progress.

The eldest grandson's family is already a trend of flowers with brocade and fire cooking oil.

If coupled with this coal-fired business, I am afraid that the eldest grandson's family will be even more powerful than before, and will become the number one favorite of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed.After pondering for a moment, he stood up decisively and gave Li Shimin a deep bow with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, our eldest grandson's family is not only a courtier, but also a relative of the country. Wei ministers have used their little merit to steal high positions and take charge of the officials. People can go above and beyond..."

Having said this, Changsun Wuji raised his head and looked at Li Shimin.

"Wei Chen knows that His Majesty loves ministers, but the so-called prosperity must decline, the principle of heaven. If you receive His Majesty's favor and allow him to participate in the coal business, Wei Chen is worried about the eldest grandson family, and I am afraid there will be unforeseen events in the future..."

"Hahaha - Brother Auxiliary, worry too much!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin laughed and walked to the front of Changsun Wuji and helped him up.He patted Zhangsun Wuji on the shoulder and said.

"You and my brother have been here for many years, and you have made great contributions to this step. What's more, you are not only my humerus minister, but also my queen's brother. I don't believe you, who else can I believe? You? If you can share our adversity with me, I will be able to share wealth with you!"

Having said that, Li Shimin took Zhangsun Wuji's hand and sat back on the couch.

"Although I haven't figured out how to manage the coal industry. But recently, I want to cooperate with others to establish a coal company, which is also a throwing stone to ask for directions."

Having said this, Li Shimin smiled and patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder lightly.

"I am willing to invite you to join in as a private person, are you interested..."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and gave Li Shimin a deep salute.

"Weichen thank you for your help, Your Majesty Longen, Weichen can't take anything in return, and he will do his best to be loyal!"

What is the first horse?

That is, regardless of whether you want to do it or not, as long as the leader wants you to do it, you can do it happily!
Your own concerns are not important!

Since His Majesty has said this for his sake, the eldest grandson's family has to stand up even if they are pinching their scalps!
