Chapter 2132 No choice(1/2)
In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin fell silent after hearing what Fang Xuanling said.
After a long time, he finally said: "What did you say? Li Min really said that. Does he really want the shares of our railway?"
Li Shimin was shocked by Li Min's request.
Why is this so?
Okay, I want his shares again.
Last time, Li Shimin voluntarily gave up his railway shares, but later the railway made some profits, so Li Shimin joined in again.
This is because Di Renjie agreed.
But why did Li Min take it back?
Is there any hidden secret in this?
Fang Xuanling immediately replied: "Yes! Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince said so."
As the narrator, Fang Xuanling could only follow what Li Min said as much as possible.
Li Shimin asked again: "Then did he ever say what the reason was?"
Fang Xuanling responded directly: "I didn't explain why. But this is the only condition put forward by the sixth prince. He only wants us to withdraw from the railway shares. He doesn't have many demands!"
"He really doesn't want a penny?" Li Shimin wondered. What was Li Min's goal in doing this?
You're not trying to trick people, are you?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Don't want money?"
Li Shimin murmured.
At this time, Li Shimin still felt strange.
why?
Because Li Min wants to go back to the railway part.
Is there something fishy about this?
He was wondering if the railway would have huge revenue this year?
Therefore, I don’t want the court to get involved.
Or is it for other reasons? For example, to plot against Li Shimin.
Scheme against the imperial court?
In his opinion, Li Min can do anything.
…
A large number of questions flashed through Li Shimin's mind.
Then, Li Shimin asked: "You said this guy wants to take back his shares and uses food as a threat. What is his real purpose?"
At this time Fang Xuanling said.
"Your Majesty, the railway has been suffering losses for many years. Perhaps the Sixth Prince sincerely wants to help us tide over the difficulties, but it is difficult to provide food directly. Or maybe he sees that the court has been losing money and feels reluctant to give up. That's why he thought of this
method?"
"What you said makes sense. But I always feel that this matter is not that simple. This kid has his purpose before doing everything. He is a person with a very clear purpose. Every step he takes,
In fact, he had made plans a long time ago, so he must have thought about the railway shares this time."
"Your Majesty, I feel that between railways and food, food seems to be more expensive. Moreover, Shengtang Group not only provides food. Shengtang Group is also responsible for transportation. Transport all food to designated locations.
And distribute it, so that the court can save a lot of things." Fang Xuanling added.
He is completely on Li Min's side.
He is also on the side of the people.
Otherwise, he would not speak up for Li Min.
Li Shimin listened.
However, he still felt something was strange.
But I can't say what's wrong with it.
"Although I say that, I always feel that his purpose is not simple. Can he really say anything except railways?" Li Shimin confirmed again.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince only wants railway shares and nothing else."
"Let me think about it again." Li Shimin said calmly.
But Fang Xuanling was anxious.
He quickly said: "Your Majesty, there is no time to think about it anymore. This must be done as soon as possible. It is rare for the Shengtang Group to make such a big concession, and we can't let them feel cold."
"How much did you invest in the railway's shares?"
"Probably 100 million taels."
"What about the food?"
"In terms of transportation and quantity of food, since the major prefectures are very large and the demand for manpower and material resources is very large, I think it will cost a lot of 100 million taels!" Fang Xuanling said very pertinently.
Li Shimin stopped talking. He always felt that Li Min always wanted to plot against him.
Fang Xuanling added: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Sixth Prince's transaction this time is a loss. He still did it at a loss! Have you ever thought about a question? That is, the Sixth Prince cares about the safety of the people!"
"If he really cares about the safety of the people, he won't ask for money!"
""But has your Majesty ever thought about another issue? He is thinking about the court.
If the Shengtang Group approached the imperial court to do business, then the imperial court would provide disaster relief in the name of the imperial court.
This will be of great benefit to your Majesty's reputation. I think what the Sixth Prince wants to give is what your Majesty really wants to achieve, isn't it?
When Fang Xuanling said this, Li Shimin said nothing.
Fang Xuanling went on to say: "And our current treasury has invested most of the money in Shengtang Group. Now our treasury doesn't have much money. If we use the money to buy grain from them, it won't be
It’s a very sensible choice.”
When Fang Xuanling said this, Li Shimin became even more silent.
Yes, what he said makes sense.
"Fang Xuanling, you are right! Could it be that that boy is really thinking about me? Is he really thinking about us?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what I think! Everything the Sixth Prince did was for the good of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court also benefited from it, didn't it?"
Fang Xuanling said again.
He spoke for Li Min everywhere.
This is also the fastest way to save people.
Now that Li Min has stated the conditions, they agree.
Anyway, a railway doesn't make much profit.
But Li Shimin has been thinking about why.
Finally, Li Shimin also gave up.
He said: "Okay, okay. If he wants some shares, just give them to him. Anyway, I only invested in them this year. I don't know when it will become profitable, and it also occupies such a large part of the branch line. It's not certain, next year it will only be
There are only 0 million taels left. It’s not as good as what I used to buy food.”
"Your Majesty is wise! Then I will go and talk to Di Renjie now!"
"Go, hurry up, this matter needs to be done quickly!"
"By the way, Your Majesty! The Sixth Prince said that his food will be transported every day. It will last for nearly a month!" Fang Xuanling said again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Why does it take so long?"
"Because he has to allocate grain from various places to Chang'an, which takes time. There is not much grain stored in Chang'an City."
"If that's the case, then it's okay. You can do it quickly. There must be no mistakes."
"Then I'll go find Di Renjie now."
"Go, go, hurry up. Don't miss anything!"
"clear."
Fang Xuanling then left Tai Chi Palace and headed to the Tang Tower.
Fang Xuanling has a long way to go this time.
If it is not done well, many people in the north may die.
But since Li Shimin agreed this time, it is basically impossible that it will not be done well.
It just depends on whether things go smoothly.
