After the four people's warning talk came to an end, and before they drank two cups of tea, Li Dan and Li Zhe ran over, holding memorials and not knowing whether to complain or complain, talking to each other with depressed expressions on their faces.

Old God Li Hong was here, and Li Xian also looked calm and relaxed. The things he had in hand were enough to give him a headache, so he had no time to take care of the headaches of Lao Seven and Lao Eight.

Li Shangjin and Li Sujie, two people who also forgot to look depressed at first sight, smiled and said casually: "Drink tea, drink tea, this mountain spring water is really good for making tea."

"You guys are really free." Li Dan, the youngest, walked to the four of them and walked around them in circles. He didn't know how many snacks on the table he stuffed into his mouth in this moment. , said vaguely.

"Let's take a look. Both the Yushitai and the Ministry of Finance are going to give me trouble." Li Zhe wanted to hand the memorial to Li Hong, but Li Hong just glanced at it, then took his own teacup and ignored him. That crop.

"Brother Emperor, you have to make the decision for me. If you can't do that, you might as well take care of your ministers. It's a lot of pressure to impeach me so nakedly. The Ministry of Works gave me a death quota at the beginning. I know that laying railroad tracks is really important. I was impatient and exceeded the quota, but I promise that I will never..." Li Zhe squeezed between Li Hong and Li Xian for a long time and finally squeezed the motionless Li Xian to the other side. The memorial in Li's hand was in his hand. Hong said with his eyes wandering.

"This is a matter between you and them. Do you think it's appropriate for me to intervene as an outsider? Who do you want me to help or not? I'm going to help you and the ministers are disappointed. If you help the ministers, then..." Li Hong put down his tea cup and took some time to relax. He said, in words, he, the emperor, had completely forgotten everything and became an outsider!

"That won't work. Even if you don't help me, you can't help those people. But it won't work like this. The Ministry of Works is sending officials to the construction site again, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is also interfering, saying that the people's land has been invaded and the compensation is not enough. Someone filed a complaint, I... I was wronged. I didn't dare to take away a penny. I paid it all as it was. But look at this memorial. I will be asked to go to the Yushitai tomorrow if you want to ask me. , do you think I should go back or not?" Li Zhe threw the memorial in front of Li Hong's eyes, but some people just pretended not to see it.

But no matter how much you pretend not to see it, you can't just force the memorial into everyone's hands and pretend you can't see it, right

Helplessly, he held the memorial that Li Zhe had put into his hand, sighed and looked to the other side. After squeezing with Li Sujie for a long time, Li Dan, whose fat body had not yet squeezed in, but was already sweating, said easily: "What are you?" What happened? Let’s talk about it together.”

Li Dan couldn't squeeze in, so he had no choice but to give up and sit in a slightly peripheral place. He first grabbed Li Sujie's tea and took a sip, and then handed the memorial to Li Hong: "Read it for yourself, your Beijing Zhaofu also wanted to feel sorry for me and told me that he really couldn't let me move the power plant any further. "

As soon as he said this, Li Dan became furious and started to complain: "What do you think your Jingzhao Mansion does for food? A bunch of laymen are making bad ideas there. They dare to say that the power plant should be moved if they don't understand shit." Move, can the power plant be moved if they want to? They thought it was a move, so they could move it if they wanted to. Can Jingzhao Mansion afford the money to move it? How much does it cost?"

"Why are you asked to move?" Li Hong automatically ignored Li Dan's complaint.

But no matter what, no one can say that this matter is reasonable. Your Li Dan's power plant electrocuted people to death. Regardless of whether you are an outsider or an expert in Jingzhao Mansion, from the perspective of others, in order to prevent such things from happening again in the future, It makes sense for you to move.

Seeing Li Hong's knowing question, Li Dan said angrily: "What else could it be? Just like Lao Qi, he died."

"Where to move? If people from Jingzhao Mansion feel that it is really unsafe..."

"How can it be unsafe? You haven't been there before. Isn't it remote enough? Besides, the power plant itself employs a lot of people. Now a big village is about to be built there. They are all family members or relatives of the power plant workers, etc. Because the power plant has already become its home. Now if you ask me to move it, how can I move it? What is the name of your governor? He actually told me: Your Highness, please see if it can be moved deep into the Qinling Mountains. There's no one there. Even if you electrocute a wolf or something, the people nearby will still have to thank you. Listen, what's going on with my power plant? The lighting in Chang'an is not a savage beast, and it's not disturbing anyone, so I won't move it. Anyway, I don't care. You have to settle this matter for me." The tea cup in Li Dan's hand was supposed to be Li Sujie's. He didn't drink much, but it was mostly spilled out because of his excited tone.

"Yes, there is also my matter, you have to settle it for me." Li Zhe also demanded confidently.

Li Hong did not speak immediately. He stroked the beard on his chin, and after thinking about it, he asked: "When did this happen? Why are I chasing you so closely? Last time, I wasn't in the court. When you quarreled, didn’t you resolve it?”

In Li Hong's view, new industries can often balance the uneven distribution among the royal family, and can even privatize these industries. While ensuring the interests of the royal family, new industries derived from railways, power plants, etc. can be completely , piece by piece was handed over to the royal prince to take care of.

Just like now, under Li Hong's arrangement, Li Dan completely occupies the future power plant, and he will also control the future power plant. Maybe in a few years, Li Dan will be a power plant king.

And Li Zhe naturally arranged it in this way. The creation of railway tracks and so on, this series of industries were naturally firmly controlled by him.

Of course, both Li Zhe and Li Dan have their share of the industries they control, which belong to the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court, so that the imperial court will not be constrained, shackles, and even have no management in the future.

As for Li Xian and the other three, Li Hong has not given them even a piece of cake, but he is still testing them.

Li Zhe and Li Dan are now trusted by Li Hong, and they are understandable for the other three. Needless to say, Li Xian understands better than anyone else that Li Zhe, who was originally following him, later The reason why she gradually became alienated from him was naturally because she competed with Li Hong for the crown prince.

Li Dan was the youngest and had no independent opinion. He just followed Li Hong or Li Lingyue obediently and did whatever they were told.

Li Sujie and Li Shangjin, although their fiefdom is in the south and they have not intervened in what happened in Chang'an, who doesn't know how many ships transported in the Grand Canal Mountain, merchant ships in Quanzhou and other ports, etc. belong to the two of them.

Li Xian is the latest, and Li Hong has not arranged specific matters for him until now. This is why Li Xian is so serious about negotiating with Dashi.

In his view, the negotiation with Dashi is like a stepping stone for him to truly return to the royal family. If he does a good job of truly returning to the royal family, if he doesn't do it well, he may not be like Li Dan and Li Zhe in the future. In the same way, you can take charge of people's livelihood in the world.
