Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"This punishment is too severe, it is really hurtful!"

"Shut up!" Li You said sternly, "This is a time when a national disaster is on the horizon. Once the great famine comes, I don't know how many people will starve to death every day! What is your so-called harmony of heaven is more important than the lives of the people? Don't you understand!?"

These words blocked everyone's mouths at once, but this matter was of great importance, Li Shimin still asked tangled: "Yang Jie, it's not that I can't make up my mind, but this kind of coercive method can't stop the noble family's tyrannical yoyo. Mouth..." 1.2

Since ancient times, aristocratic families have been the source of turmoil. They have deeply cultivated the people and have a huge power of public opinion, so the five surnames and seven looks are especially scary.

Li You snorted disapprovingly and said, "What else can they say? After all, even me, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, took the lead in responding to this policy!"

Li Shimin was stunned for a while, speechless.

How could he forget that the richest and most powerful man in the entire Tang Dynasty was right in front of him!

Chapter 557 The minister asks His Highness to restore the regent to supervise the country! (fourth more)

Although Li Shimin felt a little humiliated by being surpassed by his own son, there is no doubt that no one in the world would deny that Li You is the richest person in the Tang Dynasty today!

The richest man in Datang!

Coupled with the Li's Chamber of Commerce, Li You's power is above the five surnames and seven Wang, so if you don't look at Li You's identity and family, Li You is undoubtedly the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty!

Far more than any super family or top family, it is an unparalleled decisive position!

Then, as the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty in a sense, theoretically, if half of the food needs to be bought, the loss will be unprecedentedly huge.

In this case, if Li You takes the lead in responding, what other gossip can the rest of the aristocratic family have to say?

After all, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was the first to bear the losses far exceeding all the families!

"Yangjie, are you really willing to take the lead in being bought by the imperial court and buy half of the food?" Li Shimin asked with a trembling voice.

"Of course," Li You nodded with a smile, "Now that the Tang Dynasty is in the midst of a national disaster, it's time for the servants to help. 11"

"Good...good! Good!"

Li Shimin was very moved, and couldn't say anything other than "good" for the time being.

It's just that he still doesn't know the details of Li You's industry - in this and the purchase, the bigger the family's business, the heavier the loss will be. This is common sense, but Li You just doesn't apply this common sense!

First, the food industry in Li's industry is only a part of the major industries. Even if all of them are lost, it will have no impact on the foundation of Li's industry.

Second, because Li's industry has Li You's advanced management system and business philosophy, it has long stopped playing those old-fashioned grain storage methods. Therefore, Li's industry actually has surprisingly little grain storage!

This is like for a successful entrepreneur, investing his own money in order to make more money faster, and putting money in the bank and waiting for the interest rate to rise is undoubtedly the most stupid way, and This is exactly what aristocratic families are currently doing with food.

Therefore, Li You's righteousness on the surface is just awe-inspiring, but in fact the loss is nothing but fur, and he really didn't do anything tricky, because Li's industry really doesn't have much surplus food.

However, outsiders don't know this kind of thing. If the grain statistics can be implemented, it is also done by the Ministry of Households. There is a good relationship between Li You and Tang Jian, and there is absolutely no possibility of it being leaked.

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, they can only see the noble sentiments of Li You on the surface-His Royal Highness the King of Chu took the lead in buying half of his own food from the imperial court and even in the face of huge losses!

All of the richest people in the Tang Dynasty came forward, so what would the rest of the aristocratic families have the nerve to say?No matter how much you have lost, how much can His Highness the King of Chu have lost?

For a while, the Tai Chi Palace fell into silence.

After a long time, Li Shimin pondered: "Yang Jie, even if you can do this, it will only serve as a moral impetus. After the actual operation, most people will definitely have their interests overwhelm morality! So..."

Li Shimin is not an indecisive person, but the current situation is really too bad.

First of all, the successive natural disasters will shake Li Shimin's rule, and then Li You has to take action on the salaries of all officials. This time, the court is unstable. After that, Li You has to go to all the noble families. The straw that broke the camel's back!

"Father, at an extraordinary time, do extraordinary things!"

Li You interrupted Li Shimin's words in a deep voice. This was also the first time that the Tang Emperor was interrupted by someone on the court.

But Li Shimin was not angry, because the moment he looked up, he saw Li You's eyes - the expression inside was indescribable, but it was dazzling and full of convincing confidence.

"If the royal father can trust me, then since I dare to say so, of course there is a proper way to accomplish it!"

Looking into Li You's eyes and listening to Li You's words, Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses—yes, his son has always made plans and then moved, so presumably he must already have a complete and complete plan at this moment, right? ?

However, for the time being, it sounds like Li Shimin is a little worried.

"I believe you very much, but do the details need to be changed? For example, if you don't buy it, you will be exiled, which is too extreme..."

Li You snorted coldly and said, "Only the means of thunder can have the greatest deterrent effect, so as to ensure the efficiency of the plan! Now that the locust plague has broken out on a small scale, the famine will soon come, and there is still time to take it slow. ?"

Seeing that Li Shimin still wanted to speak, Li You directly blocked his words.

"Father! Now that you want your son to deal with this matter, but you can't delegate power and let your son be tied, then it's better not to let your son do it!"

Li Shimin was at a loss for words, this is equivalent to being threatened with a 440 appearance - I will quit the big deal!So you can do it!

Just when Li Shimin was in trouble, he saw that Wei Zheng had already stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to do!"

Xiao Yu and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and stood out as well, shouting, "Your Majesty, the ministers also have something to announce!"

Li Shimin was stunned for a while, looking at them strangely, what is there to say at this time?

Just listening to Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, they were shocked in the next second.

"Report to Your Majesty, special treatment should be handled in special times, and I ask Your Majesty to restore His Royal Highness the King of Chu to the position of regent and supervisor of the country!"

Whoa!

The entire court exploded in an instant!

Li Shimin was also stunned: "You...what do you mean? I'm still in power! Why do I need someone to regent and supervise the country!?"
