Chapter 301 Zhangsun Wuji Digging a Pit
Chapter 301 Qin Huaidao and his friends arrived at Ganlu Palace and found that all the Dukes had arrived, and some officials from the Ministry of Revenue were also inside.
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao and others went in, then clasped their fists at Li Shimin and said.
"Well, how are the materials prepared from the Ministry of Works?" Li Shimin sat there and asked.
"Everything is ready and can be called at any time. Now I don't know the situation outside the city yet! I don't know how big the disaster area is! How many palaces are involved!" Zhang Liang stood there and answered to Li Shimin.
"I don't know yet that the news from each mansion will not arrive so quickly. It will probably not be until noon. The areas around Chang'an City need to be rescued first!" Li Shimin sat there, frowned and said.
"Yes!" Qin Huaidao bowed and said to the ministers.
"It's like this every year, Boping, is there any way?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"There is only one way to build a brick and tile house, but this requires a lot of money!" Qin Huaidao stood there, hesitated for a moment, and said to Li Shimin.
"The brick and tile house requires a lot of money!" Li Shimin nodded.
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he thought for a while, and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, it may not cost so much money. Can you do this? Let Duke Hu announce his technology, or to buy Duke Hu's technology in the court, and then let the Ministry of Works go down to promote it, so that the people can use work in exchange for bricks. In this way, I believe that many places can build brick kilns, and at the same time, the people can also stick to brick and tile houses!"
"this!"
"so?"
Many ministers did not dare to speak when they received it. After all, this involved the interests of Qin Huaidao and other military generals. The brick factory could bring a lot of benefits to Qin Huaidao in a year.
"Boping, what do you mean?" Li Shimin said and looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
Qin Huaidao was thinking at this moment, what did Changsun Wuji mean? He said that he didn't propose it, he could also propose it himself. The annual profit of the brick factory was not much, so Qin Huaidao could give up.
"Your Majesty, I have no objection. On the brick factory, I have never thought about making money before. I just hope to build houses for the people in the village. Now that Duke Zhao said that this is OK, I will hand it over!" Qin Huaidao was standing there at the moment, looking up at Li Shimin with a smile and said,
Since Changsun Wuji has already said that he would not be able to refuse, and it will also cause His Majesty's displeasure. Instead of doing this, it is better to hand over it over.
"Duke Hu is righteous!" Changsun Wuji bowed to Qin Huaidao and said.
"Duke Zhao has been too rewarded, I have no objection. I believe the other dukes have no objection either!" Qin Huaidao said while standing there.
"I have no objection, I can hand it over!"
"Yes, it's okay!"
When the other dukes heard this, they nodded, but they didn't know how to hold a grudge against Changsun Wuji in their hearts. Anyway, Qin Huaidao held a grudge, and it was not like this to express his merits. At this moment, Changsun Wuji was smiling. No one knew what he thought.
"Well, okay, in this case, I will not take your money for nothing. Each family will reward 5,000 guan. At the same time, Boping will reward 10,000 guan. Next year, the technology of the brick kiln will be handed over, so that the people of the Ministry of Works will go down to provide guidance from all over the country, and strive to exchange all the houses for brick and tile houses as soon as possible!" Li Shimin stood there and spoke,
Qin Huaidao and the others immediately expressed their gratitude to His Majesty. There was no way, it was already like this.
After Qin Huaidao and the others came out, Qin Huaidao was quite unhappy and was disguised by Changsun Wuji. He had to think about how to take revenge!
"What does he mean by tiger chicken? If he is seriously affected today, I have to argue with him. Now that disaster relief requires money, why don't he donate his family business?" Cheng Yaojin was very unhappy. They still didn't care about the money from the brick factory, but they were unhappy when Changsun Wuji brought up this matter.
"Don't say it, just pay it. It's about 2,000 yuan a year." Li Jing said, touching his beard.
"I won't say it anymore. Let's go back and say it. It's okay to hand it over. It's saved disaster relief. Changsun Wuji stands on the grounds of justice. We can't say it. Let's talk about it later!" Fang Xuanling also nodded and said,
After a while, Changsun Wuji caught up with Qin Huaidao and others and apologized to them.
"I have no choice but to do this. The court will provide disaster relief every year, right? I have specially sent someone to your village house before this matter. None of your village houses have been affected by the disaster. I have to offend you for the sake of the court!" Changsun Wuji said and bowed to them.
"Duke Zhao, you are in the court, but do you know how much impact you will have on everyone? How much impact will it have on future events? I believe you know!" Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji and asked.
Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Huaidao pretending to be ignorant.
"Today, Your Majesty is in a bad mood. I didn't say it, but I will submit a memorial. This matter cannot be done. If you do it this way, who will dare to invent something in the future?
After inventing something, the court said it was useful, so it took it back? Is it because the paper mill was taken back, the printing factory was taken back? The winery was taken back? There was also a royal supermarket. If so, would the Tang Dynasty still have the possibility of development? Do we still dare to develop new things? Since they have to be taken back, who will invent it?" Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji and questioned. Changsun Wuji has now opened a very bad head.
"Is this a serious word?" Changsun Wuji stared at Qin Huaidao and said with a smile.
"I'm so serious? Ha, you know in your heart? When this matter is over, I want to impeach you. You are not qualified!" Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji and said, then left without thinking about talking to Changsun Wuji.
Today, Qin Huaidao could not collide with Li Shimin. Li Shimin was very upset. If he said he could not do it, it would definitely be inappropriate.
However, when the disaster relief is over, I must have said that my iron stove is open. All wealthy families in Chang'an have iron stoves, and I have designed a lot of things. Many of the products of the Royal Supermarket were designed by Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao didn't ask for money, just hoped to sell it. Now that Changsun Wuji gave him this trick, can he tolerate him?
"Duke Hu, please wait. You just said that impeachment of me was not qualified! Do you mean that I am not qualified?" Changsun Wuji stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Where is unqualified? As a Lord Changsun who once in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and is now Zuo Pushe, he has made no achievements in the development of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
From the first year of Zhenguan to the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the income of the Tang Dynasty almost did not increase, and the people were still poor, similar to the Wude period. This year, the income of the Ministry of Revenue increased significantly. Why? "Qin Huaidao stood there, staring at Changsun Wuji and questioned,
Fang Xuanling also stared at Qin Huaidao, and the same was true for other military generals. They were all thinking in their hearts that this reason for impeachment might not be valid, right?
"Ha, although I have no achievements, is this my responsibility alone?" Changsun Wuji heard Qin Huaidao say this, smiled and touched his beard. The other officials also stood far away and looked here.
"It's not your fault, whose fault? From the technology you proposed to hand over to the brick factory today, you can see that you know nothing about the development of people's livelihood!
Folk skills need protection and support. The court only collects taxes, and according to the law, taxes are collected!
Moreover, why can the Royal Supermarket make so much money this time? What is the fundamental reason for making so much money? Technology! Do you also want those workshops to announce their own technology? Do you no longer need to make money?
Once the technology is popularized, who will still think about developing new technologies? This is why, after the rice paper was taken over by the royal family, it has not developed for decades or even hundreds of years.
Because those craftsmen know what the use of creating new technologies is, but they cannot bring profits to themselves. Although His Majesty has rewards, are those rewards enough? Compared with profits, these rewards are very insufficient.
Duke Zhao, I can announce my technology, but you can't force me to announce it! The court cannot manage civil affairs like this, which will bring a very serious misunderstanding to the people? So what can I do if I have developed new things? Isn't it going to be taken away by the court and just take such a little money? What's the use of "Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji and asked.
"Haha, Duke Hu, this is a bad word. Everything in this world belongs to Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji laughed when he heard Qin Huaidao say this.
At this moment, what they didn't know was that Li Shimin was standing inside the Ganglu Palace Gate and staring at what was happening outside.
"Yes, Duke Hu, you think this way is very dangerous!"
"Duke Hu, as you say, everyone will no longer do things for the court. If there are good things, they have to keep them?"
Many ministers looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Of course you have to keep it yourself. Keeping it yourself is the greatest contribution to the court. The court cannot compete with the people for profit!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said to the officials.
"Boping, stop talking!" Li Jing immediately called Qin Huai, and Cheng Yaojin and the others were also anxious, so they could not say such words.
"I'm really going to talk about it today, Lord Changsun Wuji, your family has a restaurant in Chang'an, and the business is good. Can Your Majesty collect your restaurant and then run the court? Well?
There is also a cloth shop in your house, and many His Majesty's clothes cannot be worn. Can His Majesty collect your cloth now and send it to the people for free? Hum?" Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji and continued to ask.
"Is this cloth very common? Your Majesty doesn't need to collect mine at all. Restaurants are also common. There are so many in Chang'an City!" Changsun Wuji said with a smile, and some ministers were already thinking about what Qin Huaidao said.
"Can you charge it?" Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji and asked.
"Yes, as long as your Majesty wants it, I will give it to it!" Changsun Wuji replied immediately.
