Chapter 21

Empress Changsun has just finished entertaining the princes, nobles and wives. In Li Shimin's harem, Empress Changsun is really the most dazzling pearl, not only because she is the queen and Li Shimin's favorite woman, but because she has a good son.

Ever since the incident of Changsun Anye, Empress Changsun really knew Li Chengqian's intention to protect her. His son did not hesitate to offend the family and the family, and he did not hesitate to take the suspicion of being an accomplice in rebellion on himself.

I heard from my brother that in order to suppress the public opinion of the gentry, Li Chengqian actually negotiated with Cen Wenwen, sacrificing his own interests, and even prepared to kill Cen Wenwen and become an enemy of the gentry if they couldn't reach an agreement.

Regarding her son's filial piety, Empress Zhangsun was very pleased. Finally, her years of suffering were not in vain. Now everyone knows, don't think about the empress's feelings. Without His Majesty's action, Li Chengqian will jump out and tear them apart .

In the past, they were not afraid of the prince Li Chengqian, but now it is different. Li Chengqian's wings are gradually full, and he still has a strong team like the East Palace Six Rates in his hands. The current Six Rates are not the previous Six Rates.

And the support of important ministers like Changsun Wuji and Qin Shubao also forced them to get to know the young prince again.

Li Shimin and his son drank the hangover soup made by Empress Zhangsun. Empress Changsun grabbed the fat man Li Tai by the ears and taught him how to bully his sister.

In fact, Li Tai didn't really want to bully her, he just thought that the puppet in Li Lizhi's hand was so strange and he just wanted to see it, who knew it made this little ancestor cry.

"Chengqian, you did a good job today, I'm very relieved, but today you have suppressed those civil and military officials who think you are weak. It seems that Shubao taught you well."

"Father is laughing, he is still far behind General Yuchi and the others."

"Besides, my father has always treated meritorious officials preferentially. Although Duke E has some minor faults, his loyalty to his father can be demonstrated."

Li Shimin nodded: "I have always known respect, virtue, loyalty and bravery, but you should remember that there is a limit to treating them preferentially, and you must grasp this measure well, otherwise you will inevitably suffer from elbow and armpits."

"Yes, I keep in mind my father's teachings. My father, after the test of the Lizhou battle, the new equipment of the six rates can be mass-produced. I want to establish new military production and handicraft workshops in Weinan and Lantian counties. I don't know my father. How about the emperor's wishes."

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and thought for a while: "Isn't the Ministry of Industry able to do it? Why do you need to set up a department? And don't you have some workshops in Weinan? It's not enough."

"Returning to the father, the Ministry of Industry has a heavy workload, and it is difficult to meet the production of a large number of new standard armaments. At the same time, from the perspective of confidentiality and research and development, the new production department is also conducive to the development of armaments.

On the one hand, the expansion of handicraft workshops is to provide more opportunities for the common people to work to supplement their families. On the other hand, it allows more dignitaries to invest in shares, which not only meets the interests of their needs, but also firmly binds their interests with the royal family. , This will have a considerable effect on the stability of the DPRK. "

Li Chengqian's words made Li Shimin smile: "That's how you brought your uncle into the ditch, the one hundred thousand catties of steel made him feel bad for a long time."

After teaching Li Tai's eldest grandson, the empress also came to their father and son and interjected, "That's right, your uncle made you uneasy."

Li Chengqian: "Uncle's business value is not for nothing. Besides, the effective use of the royal family's control can make the resources used reasonably and prevent them from going astray. This is in line with the father's policy of preferential treatment of heroes. Well".

Li Chengqian's shameless husband and wife have been taught a long time ago. Changsun Wuji's wife, Wang, cried with the queen several times. Li Chengqian almost bankrupted their family. Fortunately, the winery and workshop are earning more and more money. Otherwise, Empress Changsun would not be able to see her sister-in-law.

"Have you thought about doing this handicraft industry with those dignitaries?"

"Father, this is the initial list of sons and ministers, and these children also want to participate." Li Chengqian took out the memorial from his sleeve and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it over and looked at it, handed it to Empress Changsun next to her, and said with a smile, "Try it, you baby is really capable of tossing around."

Changsun Wuji is now both enviable and hated, not only has a close relationship with the emperor, but also has a friendly relationship with the future emperor. I heard that there are more or less shares in the winery and some workshops in Weinan.

This is also the reason why Li Xiaochang's case didn't help him much. It's too unkind for the old boy to do his best to get promoted and get rich, so everyone is happy to see him unlucky.

When they received a post from Changsun Wuji, they learned that they could also participate in the so-called civilian industrial zone plan of His Royal Highness the Prince.The elongated old face was immediately full of smiles, and he took one bite at a time, making Changsun Wuji dumbfounded.

Of course, Changsun Wuji also admired Li Chengqian's ability. He not only asked them to contribute money and efforts, but also asked them to silence the mouths of those censor officials and aristocratic families.

After all, no one wants to confront the rich and powerful head-on, they have never been reasonable people, you just say Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde, who can reason with those two old bastards.

Li Chengqian did this on purpose. It's not that he didn't know Changsun Wuji's ambition to become a powerful minister.

Of course he didn't dare when Li Shimin was in power, but Li Zhi became his puppet in history, and the eldest sun Taiwei had to nod for everything, so this was the real reason why Li Zhi got rid of his own uncle. In Li Chengqian's view, being exiled after standing up was nothing more than rhetoric.

Li Chengqian did this to remind his eldest grandson Wuji, let him know that God's will is always high and difficult to ask, and secondly, he doesn't want his uncle to work hard for their father and son for half his life without end.After all, Changsun Wuji is still loyal to the Li family, which is the fundamental reason why he asked Changsun Wuji to contact each family.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji's embarrassment of crying and laughing is due to the emperor's reasons, and also to his colleagues. Of course, the most common one is his nephew who is a big kid.

Lantian County, military production base
"Your Highness, the current manpower is really insufficient, can we transfer some from Weinan?" Du Gou is currently the person in charge of the infrastructure of the military industrial base.

"I said Brother Du, you can build in stages and expand the scope of recruitment, but you can't delay the spring planting. Don't worry, this is a long-term project."

The phased construction made Du Gou's eyes brighten, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do."

"Cousin Chong, how long will it take for the project in Weinan to be completed and put into production? Have all the members of each family been handed in?" Li Chengqian turned around and asked his elder Sun Chong.

Changsun Chong chuckled: "Your Highness, it will take at least another year. Members from each family have already arrived, totaling 80."

"Existing products have to be sold to every county in Datang, and caravans are formed at the same time to generate income as soon as possible. We can't let people's money go to waste, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness."
