I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 389 Li Shimin decides on coal sales strategy
"Your Majesty, calm down. I assure you that coal is taken from heaven and earth and used for the people. All coal sales are supervised by local officials and there is no doubt about raising prices."

Chen Jingzhan said tremblingly.

"emperor."

"Speaking of coal sales, I was lucky enough to see it with my own eyes when I was among the people." Li Zheng suddenly smiled.

"Tell me and listen." Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Master Chen Jing is absolutely sure that coal sales will never raise prices to the common people?" Li Zheng looked at Chen Jing with a half-smile.

Chen Jing immediately said: "I guarantee with my life that the local governments have absolutely implemented their power of supervision and will never dare to raise prices under the nose of my government."

"It seems that as a senior official in the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Chen Jing does not understand the real people." Li Zheng gave Chen Jing a very meaningful look.

Chen Jing frowned when he heard this: "Please give me some advice from General Li."

"indeed."

"In coal sales, merchants who received imperial coal did not dare to raise prices under the supervision of the government."

"But, can ordinary people really afford those cheap coals?" Li Zheng said with a sneer.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Why can't I buy it?"

"The coal issued by the imperial court every winter is enough for northern Xinjiang and for the people all over the world." Chen Jing frowned, still puzzled.

"There is a lot of cheap coal. As soon as it starts to be sold, those merchants who want to make huge profits have already bought it up in advance. Can ordinary people buy it?" Li Zheng sneered and directly revealed the key to the matter.

These things are not what Li Zheng is talking about, but what he actually experienced when he was among the people. Jinyang Mansion is in the north. When winter comes, it is far colder than the south, but it is impossible to buy it. But through Those prices that are several times more than the par price are indeed available.

There was no fixed household registration and no rationing. The merchants simply bought up all the goods in one fell swoop and colluded with each other to raise prices and seek huge profits. This is not a lie.

Chen Jing was also stunned when he heard this.

He wanted to open his mouth to refute, but looking at Li Zheng's look, he knew it was true.

"Chen Jing, I've learned a lesson."

After holding it in for a long time, Chen Jing bowed and said nothing.

"Selling coal based on household registration will prevent merchants from buying up all the coal and driving up prices."

"In addition, the Ministry of Punishment needs to be involved. Once a businessman is found to be using domestic servants to engage in malicious acquisitions or hoarding to drive up prices, he will be killed immediately."

"The supply of coal is a matter of vital importance to human life and cannot be neglected," Li Zheng added.

Chen Jing looked at Li Shimin.

"Just do as Li Zheng said."

"I will give you one more day to sort out how much coal each household needs and how much coal to sell according to the household registration. After drawing up, report it to me immediately. As for the coal sales and transportation, I have already handed it over to the Wang family. With the Wang family's trade routes , enough to complete.”

"This time it is not just the Ministry of Justice that needs to cooperate, the Ministry of War also needs to participate."

"Li Zheng's move can be said to have cut off the wealth of countless merchants and powerful people. Once there is chaos, the Ministry of War will immediately mobilize troops." Li Shimin said coldly.

"Old minister, I accept the order." Chen Jing responded immediately.

"The Emperor really trusts Li Zheng too much. Whatever Li Zheng said, the Emperor actually approved it directly."

"Changing the coal sales method will make many people unable to sleep this time." Chen Jing thought to himself.

Chen Jing raised his head and looked at Li Zheng sitting at the table, but he felt a suspicion in his heart.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"Old minister, I have one more thing to report." Chen Jing said respectfully.

"Say." Li Shimin looked at Chen Jing.

"Since ancient times."

"The prince will be the auxiliary in the review, approval and disposal of memorials, and the crown prince will be the auxiliary."

"Now the prince is still in a coma, but the emperor's eldest grandson is doing nothing in the East Palace. The emperor's eldest grandson is smart and has good opinions on many matters in handling government affairs. The old minister feels that it is time for the emperor's eldest grandson to enter the palace to assist the emperor in handling government affairs. "

"This is also for the future of the Tang Dynasty." Chen Jing started with a respectful look.

Hear this.

Li Shimin took a very calm look.

Li Zheng also had no expression on his face.

But Chen Jing didn't know.

When he said these words, his future was already doomed, and he would not be able to serve as Minister of Tobe for much longer.

"I will consider this matter." "Please step back."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

Hear this.

Chen Jing thought that his memorial was of use, and immediately bowed: "Old minister, I retire."

Then he exited the political hall.

"Li Zheng."

"Do you know why I said those words in the court?" Li Shimin suddenly looked at Li Zheng and smiled.

"Guide people's hearts." Li Zheng thought for a while and said.

"wrong."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Does my father have other purposes?" Li Zheng was surprised.

When Li Shimin vaguely said in the court that he wanted to establish a prince, Li Zheng thought he was going to establish Li Chen. After all, he didn't know at that time that Li Shimin had secretly made an imperial edict and decided that he would be the prince.

"Li Zheng."

"You don't understand what I mean."

"In the court, those old people have been in those high positions for many years. If they are not really seriously ill or have something they can't resist, they will easily step down from that position."

"Once they have authority, they won't be able to let it go."

"Six ministers, ministers, and many first- and second-rank officials are reluctant to give up those powers. With those powers, they can do whatever they want." |
“Power is seductive.”

"And I released that information on purpose in the first place. I will let you clean it up naturally in the future."

“Place your own people.”

"Now, do you understand?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Hear this.

Li Zheng suddenly understood.

"Father."

"I understand."

"You did all this for me." Li Zheng looked at him with gratitude.

"Hahaha."

"You are my prince and my favorite prince. If I don't do it for you, who will you do it for?"

"Although you have been among the people, in the past three years or so, I have seen you as a enterprising person. You have learned a lot among the people. I was also surprised when I found out that you are my emperor."

"It's completely acceptable to describe you as being both civil and military capable." Li Shimin laughed happily and looked at Li Zheng.

"Father."

"Do not worry."

"My son, I won't let you down."

"In the Tang Dynasty built by you and grandpa, I will make it more prosperous in the future."

"The Tang Dynasty will be even more powerful in the future."

"We, the Yanhuang tribe, will stand on top of the world." Li Zheng stared at his father with a promise to Li Shimin.

……

After reviewing today's memorial.

Li Zheng returned home.

Arrived in the secret room.

In addition to the training of the dead warrior, there is also an alchemist who is refining the elixir.

They were all directly instilled with the sub-professional skill of alchemy by Li Zheng. The four of them consumed 20 skill points from Li Zheng.

but.

The value they created was also great. They could refine elixirs within the second level. Now that there was a constant supply of various medicinal materials, they refined them every day to provide a supply of elixirs for Li Zheng's personal guards and dead men.
