Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 234 The Best Partner

"The more departments there are and the more detailed they are, the more perfect the Tang Dynasty is. Father should be happy." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"But there are more and more things that I need to deal with." Li Shimin said happily and distressed.

"There are a lot of talents in the imperial court. Why don't my father choose some of them and set up a group to help deal with government affairs. There is no need to work so hard for some less important ones. In the future, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be wider and the number of affairs will increase exponentially. Then you won't be able to keep busy." Feng Daiwen cautiously made this suggestion again.

"Hehe, I have considered this matter for a long time, and decided to follow the method you said in the next year, so as not to wake up earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog." Li Shimin smiled, staring at Feng Daiwen in a dark way.

"Hey, hey, my father is wise, but I suggest that the best candidate should be an odd number. When it comes to important matters, a vote must be made, and the minority must obey the majority, so that there won't be as many opinions." Feng Daiwen said with an embarrassed smile.

"I want you to preside over the renovation of Chang'an City after the autumn harvest. Nowadays, many places in Chang'an are dilapidated, with narrow roads and mostly tree-structured houses. There are many fires every winter. In the past two years, it has been caused by kang fires. It has been reduced a lot." Li Shimin said again.

"Rebuild Chang'an! This is no problem at all. It will be divided into several phases. People will be recruited for construction in winter and during the slack season, and it will also increase the income of the people." Feng Daiwen very much agrees with this point. If the country has money, it will be carried out Large projects can greatly stimulate the market economy.

"I think so too, not only because of the needs of the people, but also because many officials are envious of the three reformed squares and cities of the Martial Arts Academy." Li Shimin nodded and said.

Hesitating slightly, Li Shimin looked at Feng Daiwen with some expectation and asked again: "I want to build a palace in Longshouyuan, what does Ai Qing think?"

"Building the palace? Excuse me, father, is it labor or recruitment? Where does the money come from?" Feng Daiwen asked in a daze.

"Of course it is to recruit workers, and the money will come out of my internal treasury." Li Shimin said without hesitation in a decisive tone.

"In this case, it should be a good thing, and it can be built naturally." Feng Daiwen immediately agreed.

"Hmph, there is a censor who said that building a palace is a waste of money and will make local officials take advantage of the opportunity to flatter them." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Naturally, there is no waste of money from the internal treasury, and at most no local trees are used. Now that there are bricks, cement, and trees that need to be used, there are not many trees. I think that pear wood and nanmu from Lingnan can be used.

Although Nanmu is not as good as that in Sichuan, there are more of them, and it is convenient to transport, so as to avoid affecting various places. "Feng Daiwen easily gave a solution.

"Haha, good! good! Just do as you want, make the drawings as soon as possible for me to look at, and you can deploy the manpower in the various yamen of the Ministry of Industry at will. In addition, the prince has grown a lot in the past few years, so let him learn from you** The officials of the ** government will also be deployed by you." Li Shimin immediately cheered up when he had a solution, and issued an order vigorously and resolutely.

It was only then that Feng Daiwen realized that rebuilding Chang'an was only one aspect. The most important thing was to build the palace. This was because Li Shimin started to toss when he became rich.

It’s human nature to want to use money when you have it. Li Shimin, as the emperor, can’t stay away from Chang’an. Naturally, it’s like tossing around. This is also a hereditary family blood. The toss of the country is gone.

Li Yuan also likes tossing. Romance, sensuality, and horses are all hobbies. When he got tired of playing, he started to tossing Pyu, but he ran to Wa Island without tossing.

Now it's Li Shimin's turn. Fortunately, the requirements are not high. As an old man, it is a normal requirement for his son to contribute. Even if it is a son-in-law, Li Shimin is thinking about the huanghuali and nanmu in Lingnan. Speak out.

Feng Daiwen looked at the elated Li Shimin, and realized that he was cheated again. He could only lament in his heart that he met a bad father-in-law, and agreed with a twitch of his mouth: "I obey!"

"Okay, I will think about it carefully. You can arrange it yourself during this time. When you should go to Liaoxi, you can make up your own mind." Li Shimin said with a wave of his hand after finishing the matter, and immediately crossed the river and withdrew from the bridge.

"Mother's queen!" Farewell to Li Shimin, Feng Daiwen went to pick up his wife and children from the eldest grandson, and saw the eldest grandson talking with Xiao Linglong, one kept talking and the other babbled in response, the picture was harmonious and warm.

Feng Daiwen went forward to say hello to the biggest textile tycoon in the Tang Dynasty. You must know that now the eldest grandson relies on 15 maids in the palace as his team and employs [-] women from the vicinity of Chang'an. He not only makes silk, silk, silk, cotton, linen and other clothes, And it also involves the production of quilts, toys, pockets and other related items.

The largest textile factory in Chang'an City is located on the banks of the Weishui River. Every morning and evening, a large number of working women gather from all directions. It is very spectacular and becomes a beautiful landscape. Many young men go to watch it. Unfortunately, there are Many guards, although they are all disabled, have killed people on the battlefield, so they are more than enough guards.

Moreover, as the eldest grandson's property, it is only responsible for production, and the sales are distributed to other people, so not only no one speaks bad things, but good things keep coming, even the most tricky censor has nothing to say.

"I heard that Ru's Zhuangzi in Wannian County is now a well-known and wealthy place." The eldest grandson gestured for Feng Daiwen to sit down, then turned to look at Xiao Linglong, who was playing with another child carved in pink and jade, The eldest grandson said without looking back.

"After returning to my mother, my son hasn't been there for almost a year, so I don't know." Feng Daiwen didn't understand why the eldest grandson asked, so he had to answer honestly.

"Well, I sent someone to look at it. It's really good. Although they are all tenants of your family, they are much richer than the people in other places." The eldest grandson gave him the answer.

"This is the negligence of my ministers, and they will be exempted from their tenant status when they go back." Feng Daiwen remembered that these people are still tenants, but he has always treated them as ordinary families.

"I don't care if they are your tenants or not." The eldest grandson turned around and said angrily.

"Please let the queen mother express it!" Feng Daiwen said inexplicably with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"I want to use you as a workshop to build the same village. Many workers live in remote places and it is inconvenient to travel. I want to build a village nearby so that suitable people can settle down." The eldest grandson said the purpose.
