Rich and noble.
Without the word 'wealthy', it was just noble.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was just a fallen noble.
Moreover, this unique production system was also proof of the Zhangsun family's nobility.
Zhangsun Wuji didn't want to give it up.
He subconsciously looked at Li Shi Min and placed his hopes on him.
However, when he noticed Li Shiming's frown, a light flashed in his heart.
Li Ke! You've finally revealed your fox tail! Alright, don't you want it? I'll grant you your wish. Holding this property in my hands is equivalent to digging your grave. Your disdain for the position of Crown Prince on the surface will be self-destructed, and it will also arouse the suspicion and suspicion of His Majesty!
Just now, in the midst of the situation, Zhangsun Wuji was only thinking about the losses. For a moment, he actually forgot that the upstream and downstream industries supporting the smelting of iron had another potential use other than economy and status.
Weapon preparation!
"King Wu, as long as we can compensate everyone for their losses and make up for the Zhangsun Clan's mistakes as soon as possible, I'm willing to give the Zhangsun Clan's iron mine, coal mine in Guanzhong, and the iron smelting workshop outside Chang 'an City to Your Highness.”Zhangsun Wuji revealed a pained expression and said resolutely.
All the civil and military officials looked at Li Ke.
He was waiting for Li Ke's decision.
If he accepted it, Li Ke would be in danger from now on.
The ambitious young prince was still too inexperienced. He had exposed his ambition so quickly.
"Uncle…Nephew won't decline such hospitality.”Li Ke was slightly troubled and accepted it.
Sigh!
Countless people sighed and looked at Li Ke with regret.
Li Shi Min clenched his fist and then released it.
He didn't mind Li Ke's ambition, but he was a little disappointed.
Li Ke was so young, yet he was able to use such a method to ingeniously obtain complete weapons to prepare for the upstream and downstream industries.
His methods and abilities were already outstanding among his many sons.
It was a fly in the ointment and his methods were a little immature.
"Since this matter has been resolved, and all of you are injured, you can take a day off today. Go back and settle down at home and have a good rest.”Li Shi Min ordered with a smile.
Without waiting for the ministers to reply, he ordered Cheng Yaojin,""Yaojin, from today onwards, Ke 'er will take up a position in your right guard. You will arrange the specific duties.”
What?
Cheng Yaojin and Li Ke exclaimed at the same time.
Your Majesty, when did I, Old Cheng, offend you? Why did you have to drag me into the storm of the battle for the throne?
Cheng Yaojin's mouth was filled with bitterness. His eyes rolled and his lips moved, thinking about how to reject this matter.
"Imperial Father, your son won't do it!" Li Ke's words made Cheng Yaojin heave a sigh of relief. He secretly praised," Your Highness Wu Wang, just because you took the initiative to stay away from me, Old Cheng, this jinx, Old Cheng immediately burned incense and prayed to Buddha after returning home. Thank you for your great compassion."
Li Ke's unhappiness was all over his face.""Imperial Father, now that the world is peaceful and there are brave generals like General Cheng, as a prince, do I still need to suffer in the army?”
"I beg Imperial Father, you must not nurture this son. This son is not interested.”
As Li Ke spoke, he bowed deeply,"Also, I am not willing to personally manage the coal mine, iron mine, and iron smelting workshop that Uncle gave me. I request the Imperial Court's Ministry of Works to take over. I will hand over all the techniques for making heating to the Ministry of Works.”
"Your son only has one condition. Apart from the normal operation of the coal mine, iron mine, and iron smelting workshop, all the profits must be divided equally among the sisters in the palace as dowry prepared by your son, your elder brother.”
"50% of the profits from the sale of the heating will go to the imperial court, 50% to your son, and 30% will be used as a special support fund to reward new inventions.”
"This son will personally supervise the officials of the imperial court. In the future, as long as there is a new breakthrough in the development of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, as long as this son is satisfied, this son can use this money to reward the inventor.”
"As for the remaining 20%..." Li Ke's face revealed a smug smile,""Does Imperial Father think that by cutting off this son's monthly tribute, this son will obediently listen to Imperial Father? This last 20% is the money your son prepared for his wife.”
The civil and military officials looked at Li Ke in astonishment, who was showing off and gesturing with his hands.
They didn't know the meaning of this gesture and thought that it meant 20% profit distribution.
However, Li Ke's punishment had already shocked everyone.
Just when they thought that they had seen through Li Ke and that Li Ke had exposed his intention to fight for the throne and was preparing for it.
Li Ke did not hesitate to give up all of this.
It was hard to get in touch with military power in the army, and they had to take out 30% of the profits to support the inventions and creations of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
He also had to prepare a wife's money for himself.
Look at how meticulous and ambitious His Highness King Wu was!
On the road of pleasure, he ran wildly!
Zhangsun Wuji's heart was bleeding as he cursed angrily," What a cunning little fox, using my Zhangsun Clan's assets to please His Majesty! Damn it, how could you be so shameless!
Zhangsun Wuji was naturally hostile to Li Ke, so he thought differently from others.
He believed that Li Ke was retreating for the sake of advancing, giving up the small for the big.
The small ones were money that seemed practical.
The biggest was the Emperor's heart!
In this world, what could be more important than the Emperor's Heart?
He didn't know that Li Shi Min was very upset at the moment.
Li Ke's methods made Li Shi Min want to cultivate him.
As the Emperor, even if he really liked his eldest son, he had to think about the future of the Li Dynasty and the Li Imperial Family.
However, he never expected that this bastard would be so useless!
Among Li Ke's actions, the only thing that made Li Shimin happy was Li Ke's love for his sisters.
He had the responsibility of an elder brother.
He, Li Shi Min, had personally beheaded his brother and stabilized the results of the Black Tortoise Sect mutiny. This was the only stain and regret he had after he became famous.
He did not want the same thing to happen to his descendants.
"Why is there only a sister and no other brothers?”Li Shi Min asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
Li Ke rolled his eyes." That's your business, Imperial Father. The wives of the other brothers are also my responsibility. Aren't you a failure, Imperial Father?"”
Li Shi Min's mouth twitched.
Haha...
Immediately after, he raised his head and laughed as if he had lost his mind. Then, he patted Li Ke's shoulder and strode out. At the same time, he ordered unquestionably,"Imperial Father has promised you everything else, except for the right guard position!”
"Your son is determined not to go!"
"Hmph, you can try if you don't want to go!"
……
The ministers looked at His Highness with complicated gazes, who was glaring like an angry tiger cub. They cupped their hands and quickly left.
Li Shi Min had just returned to the palace.
The chief inspector of the province in the palace, the chamberlain Wang De, hurried over and reported in a low voice,"Your Majesty, Lord Zhangsun went to the Eastern Palace after leaving the Wu Estate.”
Wang De was not famous. Only a few people knew that Wang De was Li Shimin's shadow, and that even the Dianzhong Province knew about the happenings in Chang 'an.
"I understand. You may leave." Li Shi Min waved his hand.
Wang De looked at Li Shiming walking towards Shuxian Palace and muttered to himself,"Your Majesty has been going to Shuxian Palace quite frequently recently.”
As the chief eunuch of the Dianzhong Province, Wang De was also responsible for Li Shimin's daily necessities.
The situation of Li Shi Min staying overnight in the palace was clear to the Dianzhong Province.
