Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 162

On the construction site of the new palace, Qin Xiedao was dragged by Yan Liben for a long time before he had a chance to slip away.

Fortunately, after such a toss, Yan Liben had a relatively deep understanding of Qin Xiedao's construction philosophy.

Now that the materials are in place and they know how to trim them, the construction speed of the new palace has naturally entered a fast lane.

The entire city of Chang'an has become much more prosperous because of the construction of the new palace.

The food and drink of tens of thousands of people is a big business.

The various building materials involved in a new palace are a big business.

Datang's economy immediately entered a positive cycle of prosperity, and the foundation laid by Li Yuan in the past few years also began to bear fruit.

"Wuji, that Qin Xiedao is becoming more and more prestigious now, not only has initially solved the funding problem for the construction of the new palace, but the construction speed is also very fast.

According to the current rhythm, it is very likely that the first phase of the new palace will be completed before this winter, and His Majesty will be able to spend the winter directly in the new palace by then. "

With the weather getting hotter and hotter, the construction site of the new palace is also in full swing.

This made Gao Shilian very uncomfortable.

The funds for the construction of the new palace mainly come from the sale of crystal mirrors.

And this market was originally owned by his Gaoji Bronze Mirror Workshop.

Although simply selling copper mirrors, it is certainly impossible to have such a good performance as crystal mirrors.

But for Gao Shilian, he doesn't care so much.

He only knew that Qin Xiedao had ruined the Gao family's good business.

"Uncle, this Qin Xiedao is now trusted and valued by His Majesty, it is really troublesome for us to trip him up.

Many families joined forces before and wanted to block him on the food, but it was solved by his magical operation of fishing from Qujiang Pond.

If we can't find any good reason, it will be a bit troublesome to deal with him. "

Changsun Wuji was also very upset with Qin Xiedao.

The eldest grandson's family and Gao's family are one family.

Not to mention the grievances between Changsun Wuji and the Qin family before, Qin Xiedao alone made the Gaoji Bronze Mirror Shop almost impossible to survive, this is an irresolvable hatred.

"During this period, Jiangnan Road and other places came to report quickly, saying that there was a severe drought in the local area. After a heavy rain, it was accompanied by a hurricane. The people of Mingzhou suffered heavy losses, and many people were already unable to solve the problem.

It is said that the common people have already started fleeing towards Hangzhou and Suzhou.

If I remember correctly, Mingzhou is by the sea, right?Isn't that Qin Xiedao very good at fishing?

You said that we proposed to His Majesty that Qin Xiedao go to Mingzhou to be responsible for disaster relief, and see if we can also fish in the sea to solve the ration problem of the people. What do you think? "

Now Gao Shilian doesn't want Qin Xiedao to stay so comfortably in Chang'an City.

It happened that he solved the food problem of the craftsmen of Datang Jiangong by fishing in Qujiang Pond.

Then he was going to recommend Qin Xiedao to Mingzhou along the way, and let him rely on fishing in the sea to solve the food problem of the local people.

This idea is not bad.

How could Gao Shilian not know the difference between fishing in Qujiang Pond and fishing in the sea?
But when he knew about it, he suggested that Qin Xiedao go there, obviously he had no good intentions.

"Uncle's suggestion is good, I think His Majesty is worrying about this matter these days.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs does not have any surplus food for disaster relief, but the disaster situation in Mingzhou and nearby counties is relatively serious.

If the imperial court has not acted, the victims who cannot see hope may cause chaos. "

Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised his uncle's proposal.

It is difficult for anyone to stand up and refute this kind of proposal of standing on the moral high ground.

As long as anyone dares to stand up and object, Changsun Wuji is ready to let the other party go to Mingzhou for disaster relief.

Unless someone dared to promise that he could solve the disaster in Mingzhou, otherwise he was going to show them what would happen if they opposed his eldest grandson Wuji.

"That's right! So once our proposal is thrown out, even if His Majesty is reluctant to let Qin Xiedao leave Chang'an City, he should agree.

After all, he who wants to be a wise king absolutely puts the interests of the common people first. "

Gao Shilian didn't know whether he was praising Li Shimin or what.

But he and Changsun Wuji were the only ones present, so they dared to say anything.

"Well, I'll communicate with some people later, and bring it up at the court meeting tomorrow."

……

"Sign in to Xuanwu Gate, and you will be rewarded with 'Fire Eyes' vision, do you want to receive it?"

After picking up a wave of wool at the Xuanwu Gate again, Qin Xiedao happily prepared to go to his own workshops to inspect.

Since there are all the craftsmen who will serve as supervisors at their disposal, Qin Xiedao simply asked these craftsmen to help him build various workshops for his own use.

Needless to say, cement workshops and so on.

Even the glass workshop is essentially built with the help of the craftsmen who will serve as supervisors.

In fact, all the porcelain workshops, carriage workshops, and iron-making workshops are all due to the supervisor.

Although some workshops have not yet been fully put into production, the progress is gratifying.

The Qin Mansion is now considered to be a big family.

"Qin Langjun, Your Majesty has a request."

When Qin Xiedao returned home and was about to have lunch, he bumped into Wang De unexpectedly.

It shouldn't be a trivial matter for Wang De to come and invite him in person.

Qin Xiedao made a quick inventory in his mind, he didn't do anything bad, did he?

In the end, Qin Xiedao, who felt confident in his heart, followed Wang De to Li Shimin.

Originally, Qin Xiedao was wondering if he could hear any news from Wang De on the way.

But Li Shimin's personal eunuch has a stricter tone than anyone else.

So Qin Xiedao didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

"Xiedao, have you heard about the disaster in Mingzhou?"

Li Shimin looked at Qin Xiedao with a complicated expression, and went straight to the topic.

"I heard that droughts have occurred in many places in Jiangnan Road this year, and Mingzhou was hit by a hurricane, causing heavy losses."

Qin Xiedao naturally wouldn't pretend to be confused about what was reported in "Datang Daily".

"Now that you know, I won't waste my time talking. I'll just ask you a question. If you are asked to go to Mingzhou to be responsible for disaster relief, can you solve the food problem for the people of Mingzhou?"

"Your Majesty, I'm just a general."

"Answer my question!"

"Your Majesty, may I ask what good will it be if the humble minister solves the problem?"

Hearing that Qin Xiedao actually asked such a question, Li Shimin's face darkened instantly.

However, there was actually a little more expectation in his heart.

Judging from what Qin Xiedao meant, does he really have a way to solve the problem in Mingzhou?

That being said, Wuji really came up with a good idea for himself.
