The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

However, everything was as Wei Zheng had guessed, and the people were not satisfied with the solution proposed by Wei Zheng. They believe that the cement factory has caused too much damage to their living environment, and what they need is peace of mind, rather than having to endure a lot of uneasiness every day.

So they complained to Li Shimin again.

When Li Shimin received complaints from people, he seemed shocked.

He called Fang Xuanling.

"Fang Xuanling, tell me, what do these people want to do?" Li Shimin said in confusion, his brows furrowed, his expression serious and confused.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin's expression and understood that the people's complaints had made Li Shimin feel very embarrassed. He realized that Li Shimin's previous decisions did not really solve the problem, but instead made the people more dissatisfied. So, he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, maybe what they want is a quiet environment."

Li Shimin frowned after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then said, "What do you think I should do?" There was a kind of anxiety and uneasiness in his voice.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin, his eyes shining with thought. He knew that this question was not easy to answer, but he still tried his best to give advice: "This minister doesn't know."

"How could you not know?" Li Shimin said incomprehensively, his voice revealing a sense of dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin's expression and knew that he needed to give some specific suggestions. So, he said again: "How about letting Wei Zheng and the others enter the palace again?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and then agreed with Fang Xuanling's words: "Okay!" There was a kind of helplessness and acceptance in his voice.

As a result, Li Shimin had to summon Wei Zheng to the palace to prepare for a new discussion with him.

And when Wei Zheng stepped into the palace gate and looked at the familiar palace in front of him, he knew that Li Shimin must have encountered a problem again. A serious and focused expression appeared on his face, and he secretly prayed that he could solve this problem for the emperor.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng bowed politely, with a kind of respect and respect in his voice.

"No need to be polite!" Li Shimin said, with a tired and anxious expression on his face.

At this time, many officials and ministers also came here one after another. Their expressions varied. Some were worried, some were confused, and some were looking forward to it.

After a while, Li Shimin said again: "The people did not agree with the last plan. Do you have other plans?" There was a kind of expectation and inquiry in his voice.

After hearing this, Wei Zheng frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and then made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, our plan is already very good. Otherwise, we can only move the factory away from the residential area. In this case, the people will not be able to Say anything more."

Wei Zheng's suggestion made Li Shimin think deeply. If all highly polluting factories really had to be moved out, it would probably cost a lot of money. However, he also knew it was the right thing to do. Because only in this way can we truly protect the people's living environment and prevent them from being harmed by pollution.

"I'm afraid this is the only way to do it." Li Shimin finally said.

Li Shimin's decision to move all highly polluting factories was based on many considerations.

First of all, he understands the importance of environmental protection. He understands that protecting the ecological environment is crucial to the future of the country and its people. He hopes to leave a clean and beautiful home for future generations, rather than a polluted environment.

Secondly, he paid attention to the demands and concerns of the people. People expressed strong dissatisfaction with the environmental problems caused by highly polluting factories such as cement plants, and they hoped that the government could take effective measures to solve this problem. As a responsible monarch, Li Shimin naturally had to respond to the demands of the people and create a better living environment for them.

In addition, Li Shimin also considered the long-term interests of economic development. Although moving highly polluting factories out of urban areas may have some impact on economic development in the short term, in the long term it will help promote sustainable economic development.

Finally, Li Shimin also recognized the importance of this decision in establishing the image of the court and winning the hearts and minds of the people.

By taking decisive action to address environmental issues, he was able to demonstrate the court's determination and capabilities and win the trust and support of the people. This will help consolidate his dominance and add a bright color to his political achievements.

So, he decided to adopt Wei Zheng's suggestion and move all highly polluting factories out.

But there was a huge backlash about the decision.

People who support Li Shimin's decision said: "Your Majesty is wise! In this way, we can protect the living environment of the people and benefit future generations!"

They agreed with both hands and their faces were filled with expressions of joy and recognition. They believed that this was a long-term and wise decision that could ensure that citizens lived in a healthy and safe environment.

"In this case, the people will definitely not say too much. Their lives will also be protected."

"Yes, Your Majesty's decision is really a good one."

"Your Majesty is really wise to make such a decision."

These people may not be good at speaking at ordinary times, but at this time, they seemed to have found a common language and kept saying nice things, with faces full of admiration and praise.

They sincerely agreed with Li Shimin's decision.

However, some people are opposed to this.

Their brows were furrowed, with expressions of worry and hesitation on their faces, as if they were full of doubts about this decision.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, it will definitely cost more money. Now when we are building highways, we need money. If we use this money again, it will be bad, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't think it's feasible. The construction schedule is very tight now. If we start moving the factory out again, it will take even longer."

"Your Majesty, this will have some impact on the economy."

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

There was a sense of worry and uneasiness in their voices, as if they were full of doubts and objections to this decision. Their expressions were serious and serious, and they seemed to be full of distrust in this decision.

However, Li Shimin firmly stated: "Economic development is important, but protecting citizens' living environment is even more important. We must take action to protect our home."

He believes that sustainable economic development can only be achieved in a healthy and clean environment.

Those people were still talking.

But he was held back by Li Shimin's words.

"I understand what you are opposed to, or do you have a better way? If so, I will not change my mind."

As soon as his words came out, everyone fell silent.

Yeah, they had no better way to handle this.

Although some people objected, they had to admit that they had no better solution than moving highly polluting factories out of urban areas. They also understood that Li Shimin's decision was based on considerations of environmental protection and people's well-being, which is what a responsible monarch should do.

"This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Industry with full authority, but it can be moved out in an orderly manner, not necessarily all at once." Finally, Li Shimin said.

This is a compromise.

After all, if we move it all at once, it will be too costly on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will require a lot of resources. And many raw materials will not be able to keep up.

That's why he decided like this.

"Yes!"

The people from the Ministry of Industry took the lead.

And Wei Zheng wanted to say at this time, wouldn't it be better if you promised me earlier?

It has to be done this way. It's better now, let's do it again and again. The result is still the same.

Also wasted my own time.

But no matter what, if Li Shimin can listen, that is the best thing.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the common people will leave first." Wei Zheng said at this time.

"Wait a minute, I still have some questions to ask you." Li Shimin said.

"What else is there for Your Majesty?"

"The rest of you, please step back." Li Shimin motioned for everyone to step back.

The ministers then withdrew from Tai Chi Palace.

Everyone didn't understand why Li Shimin kept Wei Zheng.

Maybe Li Shimin wanted to ask about Li Min.

Everyone can imagine it.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Wei Zheng asked. He looked a little confused because Li Shimin asked him to stay, but he didn't know the reason.

Li Shimin took a deep look at Wei Zheng, and then said: "There is no one around now. I will ask you some questions, and you must answer them truthfully."

Li Shimin's tone was serious and powerful, and Wei Zheng's heart tightened after hearing this. He realized that the questions Li Shimin asked might be important and involved some things that he was unwilling to mention.

"Say it!" Wei Zheng lowered his head slightly to show respect.

"Where is Li Min now?" Li Shimin's voice was low and powerful, as if every word was full of power.

Wei Zheng was shocked after hearing this. Sure enough, Li Shimin still asked where Li Min was. He hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Your Majesty, the villain doesn't know."

Wei Zheng's voice was trembling, but he answered Li Shimin's question firmly. It was impossible for him to tell Li Shimin where Li Min was. This was loyalty to a person. If he was an official in the imperial court before, then he might have mentioned it to Li Shimin. But it's different now. Wei Zheng is now in Shengtang Group. It was not in the imperial court, so there was no need to talk to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was silent for a moment after hearing this, his brows furrowed, obviously thinking about something. Then he added: "How could you not know? Li Min doesn't use you very much, does he?"

Li Shimin's tone revealed a kind of doubt and dissatisfaction, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Wei Zheng's answer.

Wei Zheng did not show panic or uneasiness after hearing this. On the contrary, he said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, if you want to ask this, I'm afraid I can't agree to it. Because this is a confidential issue of the Shengtang Group. If your Majesty still wants to know, I suggest you ask Mr. directly, maybe he will tell you!"

Wei Zheng's words made Li Shimin almost vomit blood.

If he could ask Li Min, he would have asked Li Min long ago. Why wait until this time?

"You kid!" Li Shimin laughed out loud, obviously amused by Wei Zheng's words.

"Your Majesty, is there anything else?"

Wei Zheng said seriously, his expression was serious, and he obviously had no intention of saying anything more to Li Shimin.

Now he kind of wants to go back and doesn't want to talk too much to Li Shimin.

"Wait a moment, don't be so anxious." Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, what else can you do?"

Wei Zheng asked again, his expression still serious.

"What ideas does Shengtang Group have about the future?" Li Shimin asked again, his eyes revealing expectations and curiosity about the future.

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes, and continued: "About the future? Your Majesty can obtain information from the Shengtang Group's annual report. At the beginning of each year, the Shengtang Group will publish a detailed annual report, and the content on it is better than what a villain can The description should be more comprehensive. If Your Majesty is interested in this, I can send you a copy at any time."

Wei Zheng's words were rigorous and watertight, which made Li Shimin feel a little unhappy. He frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with Wei Zheng's answer.

"Okay, then you can send it to me later." Li Shimin said calmly, his tone revealing an unquestionable authority.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng replied respectfully, while lowering his head slightly to show respect.

"Don't be so anxious. Just stay in the palace in the morning." Li Shimin said.

Wei Zheng was almost depressed.

I am not an idler, how can I stay in the palace all the time?

"Your Majesty, I have a lot of things to do in the Shengtang Group. It's inconvenient for me to stay any longer. Please let me know in advance."

Wei Zheng did not get used to Li Shimin either.

He said anxiously.

Li Shimin said: "Wait a minute, I haven't chatted with you for a long time. I want to chat with you more now and learn about some things about Shengtang Group."

Only then did Wei Zheng understand that Li Shimin originally wanted to ask him about Shengtang Group.

But Li Shimin thought wrong, because it was impossible for him to tell Li Shimin too much about the Shengtang Group. All he could tell were the things announced by the Shengtang Group.

But Li Shimin's plan failed this time.

"Whatever your Majesty wants to know, please tell me! But let me tell you in advance. If it is about the unannounced secrets of the Shengtang Group, I will not say a word. Please forgive me, because they are all confidential. If the villain says something, it may be a blow to the Shengtang Group."

"You mean I will leak that secret?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't mean that! But confidentiality is necessary for the existence of an organization. Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to know the secrets, I will not tell you." Finally, Wei Zheng said.

His expression was full of determination, and Li Shimin didn't know what to say at this time.

He stayed with Wei Zheng just to ask about confidential matters, but Wei Zheng didn't intend to tell him.

This made him very distressed.

But we can't use force against Wei Zheng.

then what should we do?

"Okay. I just want to talk to you. Where are you thinking?" Who knows if Li Shimin will make innuendo?
Who knows if Li Shimin will act recklessly?

But Wei Zheng is not a child and knows Li Shimin's tricks. (End of chapter)
