Chapter 344 Chang'an General Mobilization
The ministers shook their heads together, and some said, "It's not just not easy, it's impossible. Not to mention letting millions of people think about things with you, even if three people think about one thing, they will have their own ideas. How can they be the same!"
Changsun Wuji touched his beard and said, "Without sick, not only will Chang'an have millions of people, but the total number of people in the capital is greater. If the foreign states and counties and foreign merchants are added together, more than 2 million people will know this news within ten days, and this is all too little!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "I have a deep understanding of this. Even if there are only a few people in this court, I cannot agree on one thing, and it often takes several days to discuss it. There are too many people and many ideas. If there are millions of people, it seems that no one can guide them to come up with a result, or the result of the Olympics!"
Wang Ping'an looked at the emperor, the prince again, and the ministers again. It seems that you don’t believe me! That’s right. If this matter is placed a thousand or hundreds of years later, it will be difficult for me to make you not believe it, but if it is placed now, it will be difficult for you to believe it!
He said, "Your Highness, dear lords. We are not just issuing one imperial edict, this is just the first one. Three days of discovery... it takes less than three days. If it is sent out on the first day, the whole city will be sensation the next day. Then we organize a team of soldiers in the palace to select some old and weak people, and let them run around Chang'an City with their shirtless!"
Li Shimin said oh, and understood a little. He nodded and looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi didn't understand it in his heart, but after he had been with Wang Ping'an for a long time, he had already understood one thing, that is, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, what is important is that you have to show that you understand!
Li Zhi nodded heavily, with a sudden enlightenment, and whispered: "So... that's it!"
Li Shimin thought to himself: "Okay, my Zhier is much more promising than before. I didn't understand the matter very much, but he actually figured it out first!" He nodded and smiled at Li Zhi to show encouragement!
The ministers thought to themselves: "Oh no, even a stupid prince... the prince is so wise. He can understand better than us!"
Wang Ping'an continued: "When the people saw these people running around the city wall with their shirtless eyes, they must ask why this is the case. At this time, we went out and said that the guards were going to hold an Olympic Games and give a detailed explanation!"
Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "This guidance method seems inappropriate. The guards held the Olympics and had nothing to do with the people. Moreover, some old and weak soldiers were going to run away. I'm afraid the people have more speculations!"
Chu Suiliang whispered from the side: "The old house still hates his daughter-in-law for that matter, and he actually picks Wang Ping'an's thorn!"
Changsun Wuji suddenly burst into laughter on his face. He knew that this was a joke and would not take it seriously. He turned around and shrewd at Chu Suiliang, signaling him to lighten his voice, but Fang Xuanling still heard it, and his face turned red, thinking to himself: "Do I have that little thing!"
Wang Ping'an said: "Just let the people think, they will think that even these old and weak can run around the city wall, so I can, and there may be good people who take off their arms and follow them. They must run faster than the soldiers to laugh at the soldiers in the palace!"
The ministers laughed and said, "What does it mean, but there must be such people. There are no other people in Chang'an City. How much do you want to have to eat when you are full every day?
Wang Ping'an also smiled and said, "This makes the people feel that if they can also participate in the Olympics, then the chance of winning will not be small, but the chance of winning will be great!"
Li Shimin smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, if you guide this way, then there are indeed many people who will think this way, but not everyone will think this way. They can't run around the city wall, and most of them will still be!"
Wang Ping'an said: "What the emperor said is very true. But no matter whether the people can really run around the city wall, everyone will think that this matter is true. At this stage, they can think it is true, even if they can achieve their goal!"
He paused, took a deep breath, and then said, "Then we can find a few people to petition and tell the court that they also want to attend, so this conference was initiated not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top. After careful consideration, the emperor agreed!"
Changsun Wuji clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, if that happens, everyone will believe it. Not only will no one doubt this matter, but they will be afraid that they will not be allowed to participate! At this time, we will let the Ministry of Revenue organize the bet, which is not unsuccessful!"
Li Zhi smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Well, yes, this guide method is the same as Erchen thought, but Erchen thought it was even further than being sick."
Li Shimin was happy and hurriedly said, "Zhier, what are your good ideas?"
Li Zhi blinked his eyes and said, "I want to listen to what Wubing said first. If he doesn't think well, I will add it to him!"
Li Shimin was slightly stunned and laughed. Whether his son could really have any good ideas. This is not important. The superiors do not need to be better than the ministers in everything. The key is how to let the ministers use their greatest intelligence. This is the most important emperor technique to be an emperor!
The ministers looked at Li Zhi together, and they didn't believe what he said, but everyone was very satisfied. The prince was much more mature and began to be foolish!
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You have asked me about this. What kind of loophole should I leave for you to make up for!"
He said: "Even if ordinary people solve this problem, the next step should be to solve the business. I think it is better to let some yamen hold the banner with the name of their own yamen to form a team of old and weak, and run around the city wall with bare shirtless, attracting greater attention from the people. Then let an ordinary yamen, from the folk, but with some background, let them form a team, hold the flag of their own yamen and run around the city wall. In this way, merchants all think that his business can work, why can't we do it? After running like this, people in Chang'an know my business anymore!"
Pretending to be embarrassed, he said again: "But which business should be chosen? It must be reliable and has a background, so it is difficult to choose..." The loophole has come out, Your Highness, please make up for it quickly, now it's your turn to speak!
Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an had a deep understanding, and they came out to make up for the leak. He said, "This orphan has already thought about it for you, so I will use your medicinal meal shop!" He was afraid that his father and ministers would not react, so he didn't know where he was talking about, so he added: "It's the eighth heaven in the East City before!"
Li Shimin and the ministers said oh, in fact, they had known it a long time ago, but when Li Zhi said this, they of course had to be surprised. It turned out that the Eighth Heaven has now returned to Wang Ping'an. Before this... don't everyone know about it through the mouth of the prince?
Li Zhi was very proud, smiled at Wang Ping'an and blinked his eyes. The meaning was that this leak was very easy to make up for you!
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me, I didn't dare to think about my own business!"
Then he said, "At this time, merchants will discuss the business, thinking that their business names can also ride the east wind like my family. Then, someone will petition the emperor to let their business names run, raise flags, etc. After careful consideration, you agreed to them, but you can't run with the flag in vain. Everyone will run away. Then you will not be confused. The court has to build the flag, and they spend money to buy the flag before they can run away!"
Li Shimin laughed constantly, knocked the Longshu desk with his fingers and said, "Yes, that's what it means. When the merchants do this, they will not think that the court took the opportunity to collect their money, but they have put a lot of effort into asking for this opportunity to pay!"
Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it anymore at this time. Wang Ping'an couldn't make it appear alone. As the number one minister of the dynasty, he had to have some opinion!
He touched his beard and smiled, "We only allow the Tang Dynasty merchants to run with flags. There are so many businessmen in Fanbians in Chang'an. Although they drove away a few days ago, they drove away a group of Hu merchants, but they secretly came back, and the number of people seemed to have increased. So many Hu merchants looked at them and naturally came to petition, wanting to advertise their own merchants. In this way, the emperor thought carefully and agreed to them. At most, let them pay more money!"
Fang Xuanling was not willing to fall behind and was thinking of giving advice, but Chu Suiliang took the lead and rushed out of the court and said, "I think that if this continues, we can also let people from various countries and tribes run around the city walls with the totem of their tribe as the flag. They will definitely rush to hand over the money to buy the flag!"
Fang Xuanling thought to himself: "You old guy, you actually rob me of what I said!" He hurried out and said: "And if this happens, it will be natural to sell stalls and other things!"
None of the ministers wanted to fall behind. At this time, they didn't care that the emperor was listening to Wang Ping'an's advice. They all ran out and offered clever plans, how to do it!
Li Shimin looked at Wang Ping'an who was squeezed behind, but saw Wang Ping'an lower his head again and slowly retreating back to his position. He was satisfied. This young man was not arrogant, did not take credit, and knew how to advance and retreat. He would be assisted by Zhi'er in the future, and he could at least protect the peace of the Tang Dynasty for thirty years!
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You guys are talking slowly. Come on, record it, this thing should be done as the most important thing this fall!"
The eunuch who carried the pen agreed and took the pen to record it. Even the historians beside him began to record it with their pens. This was a grand event and might be determined as a permanent example. Today is the key day to discuss this permanent example. Of course, this should be included in the historical books!
After a long discussion, all the matters were finalized one by one, and all tasks were issued to the offices of various departments. Everyone had something to do and everyone had to do it well!
Li Shimin stood up and waved, "Okay, that's it! Everyone, let's work together to make the people of the entire Chang'an City move!"
Wang Ping'an and his ministers knelt down together and shouted at the emperor: "My minister, obey the order!"
