Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 94

The atmosphere in the hall was a little silent for a while.

Li Shimin asked in an unrecognizable tone, "What is written in the imperial decree?"

Wei Yingtai was neither humble nor overbearing, "This is exactly what I will say next.

The Ninth Prince still knows how to break the law!
He knew that the law stipulated that private gatherings were not allowed, so he wrote in the imperial decree that workshops were allowed to gather crowds. "

"Nonsense, how can the law be changed at will like this!" Li Shimin angrily clapped the case.

"Exactly, the Ninth Prince is still a child after all, so it's ridiculous to do such childish things. I have one more thing to say, to prove that the Ninth Prince has really gone astray, at least he has traveled a long way on the wrong road!"

Li Shimin's first reaction when he heard this was to get angry!
What are you, how dare you say that my beloved son has completely gone astray!

After all, he held back, frowning deeply, "Is there anything else?!"

"good."

Wei Yingtai straightened his back, and stated forcefully, "The Ninth Prince not only illegally gathers crowds, but also hides criminals!
Among the workers in his workshop, we found a murderer who fled in exile. We have every reason to believe that the Ninth Prince knew about this and still took him in! "

"There is such a thing!"

Li Shimin's palm had been placed on the imperial table, and at this moment his five fingers tightened into fists.

Seeing this, Wei Yingtai continued to deepen his influence, "The various faults committed by the Ninth Prince have undoubtedly deeply touched the bottom line of our Tang Dynasty, and please punish him severely! I believe that no punishment is too much .”

Indeed, according to Wei Yingtai, Li Zhi has become heinous and has completely gone astray, and no punishment can be too much.

Li Shimin was expressionless, and first explained coldly, "The imperial decree is not a fake, I once gave him a blank imperial decree."

Wei Yingtai didn't change his expression after hearing this, "That's just missing a major crime, and it's not a problem overall. As a prince, the Ninth Prince is too presumptuous. Opening workshops and competing for profits with the people are too inappropriate. !"

Li Shimin looked to the side, "Call Li Zhi, I will ask him personally what's going on!"

Manager Zhang Qian was terrified, and hurriedly paced down to give orders, and he will come back soon to answer his orders.

"People have been sent out..."

Li Shimin then closed his eyes and sat quietly, while Wei Yingtai didn't pay any attention to it.

Seeing this, Wei Yingtai showed a smile instead. It seems that His Majesty has been completely enraged.

Li Shimin is indeed very angry now.

He was angry that Li Zhi was engaged in these private properties at a young age, thinking too much!
What is he going to do with so much money?
Money is nothing more than recruiting soldiers and horses to buy people's hearts.

The more you think about these things, the more frightening you become. For an older prince, Li Shimin can think that this is preparation for the "superior position"!
Seeing that Li Zhi hadn't come yet after the time passed, Li Shimin issued a second order to ask people to go to the Imperial College to call Li Zhi.

Li Zhi had already walked halfway, and met the second person who called him.

I suddenly understood in my heart!
"It seems that the Wei family is well prepared this time. Father Li has never been so impatient..."

But Li Zhi still walked into the Xuanzheng Palace in a leisurely manner.

"I have seen the father." He bowed lightly.

Li Shimin opened his eyes a long time ago, looking at this delicate and cute little guy below, it is really difficult to add Wei Yingtai's accusation just now to him.

But he understood that most of the workshop in the city really belonged to him!
Li Shimin was very heartbroken, and his demeanor could be said to be severer than ever before. He started by asking questions,
"Li Zhi, let me ask you, do you gather people to open workshops in the city?"

"No." Li Zhi's answer stunned the hall.

I didn't expect that he would simply say no!
Wei Yingtai reacted, and immediately put on a straight face, "His Royal Highness, it's not that you can't do it if you don't admit it. Everyone in the workshop says that you are the boss behind the scenes!"

Li Zhi said indifferently, "I am not the one who officially records the name."

Wei Yingtai was suspicious, "It's just that the name recorded is not yours, but the profits of the workshop still belong to you... right?"

Li Zhi nodded, "You can say that."

"..."

"Then this workshop belongs to you!" Li Shimin in the hall said.

Wei Yingtai really opened his eyes, he really didn't know whether to say that the Ninth Prince was smart or stupid.

Did he actually think that if his name was not written, it would not be considered his property?
This is a child through and through!
Wei Yingtai's expression was wonderful, and he would answer Li Zhi whatever he asked, so honestly, his sister was defeated by such a child?

At this moment, Wei Yingtai suspected that his sister Wei Guifei must have been in the palace for a long time, and her brain had deteriorated.

Li Shimin continued to speak, with a tone of judgment, "There are murderers hidden in your workshop, do you know?"

Li Zhi replied, "I don't know."

He really didn't know that most of the workers were homeless and unemployed in the city. It should be said that this possibility could not be ruled out.

Li Shimin also believed that Li Zhi didn't know, because his son probably didn't spend enough energy to identify the origin of the workers.

"Li Zhi, I'm really curious. As a nobleman and my son-in-law, money will never be a problem. What are you going to do with the money?"

Li Shimin looked very complicated, really curious.

At the same time, he also knew that after asking this question, Li Zhi would be punished.

Li Shimin blamed himself.

Usually he is too indulgent to Li Zhi, seeing that he is young, he can't bear to discipline him.

It is his father's responsibility that Li Zhi turned into what he is today.

Amidst the dull atmosphere in the hall, suddenly a gust of wind blew in from outside the gate, causing the golden curtain to shake slowly.

Li Zhi paused, with the same calm tone as before, "Father, you are right, I am not short of money, so the profit of that ice factory is very low, and it has been almost two months since it opened, so I will Received eighty coins."

Eighty qian is a lot for ordinary people. The national economy has not recovered a few years ago in Zhenguan. One qian can be treated as one silver dollar in the Republic of China, but to the royal family, this is a joke!

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Zhi to answer like this, so the "plan" of punishment was postponed a little.

"Eighty money, didn't someone outside of you swallow your money?" He asked.

"Yeah, that must be the case, Prince Jin, you don't know that your money has been swallowed!"

Wei Yingtai also quickly agreed, and was angry, "I don't know how much I have been swallowed!"

Li Zhidao, "There is no such possibility. The reason for the low profit is that the cost of carpentry and labor is high, while the price is low. The refrigerators produced by our workshop are affordable by ordinary people.

If you don't believe me, you can find the answer by going to the streets of the city and asking.In fact, I didn't expect to have any money left. "

"refrigerator?!"

Li Shimin seems to have overheard a passerby in the harem mentioning that it is a good thing that can store food in ice. At that time, the palace people also said that it was of good quality and cheap, so it was produced by Li Zhi's workshop!

He believed what Li Zhi said was true.

But then a new question came up, "Since you don't make money, why do you do this kind of thing?! What good will it do you if you offend the public!"

Li Shimin seemed to have forgotten that there was still punishment, but he became more and more puzzled.

Li Zhi raised his head for the first time, with some doubts in his serious eyes, "Because this is something that benefits the people. Not only can people without jobs get jobs and continue to survive, but it can also improve people's quality of life." .Although it does not make money, it is also very promising."

Li Shimin in the hall felt as if he had been addicted to thunder for a moment!

Looking at Li Zhi's pure and shining eyes, he felt ashamed for the first time.
