The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 738 Depressed Li Er

Let's say that Li Shimin received 100 million taels of gold as compensation from Wa.

Smartly, he exchanged the money with folks for more silver, and used it for people's livelihood.That's a lot of money, and it has played a certain role in improving people's livelihood.

People are benefited, so they are naturally happy!

All of a sudden, the entire Chang'an City and even the entire Tang Dynasty were singing praises to Li Shimin.

He is finally a good emperor who has never come before.

He is working hard to change.

However, I always feel that compared with Li Yin, he still has some things that he has not done well. As time goes by, the people may weaken their gratitude to him.

for what?Because he didn't continue to stimulate.

Compared with Li Yin, there is still a little distance.

So he will definitely work harder.

It makes one feel.

That is, he and Li Yin are in a delicate competitive relationship.

Everyone wants to do better.

It's just that Li Yin's achievements in business are not comparable to Li Shimin.

And Li Shimin's power is also beyond Li Yin's reach.

……

Let's say the time comes to mid-July.

The weather is still hot.

Daming Palace still has no air conditioner installed.

Li Shimin could only run to Concubine Yang's bedroom every day.

On this day, Li Shimin rested very leisurely in Concubine Yang's bedroom.

And suddenly, the air conditioner stopped.

He was a little puzzled.

"Concubine Yang, what's going on? The air conditioner seems to be off frequently these days, let Yun'er come over to see what's going on!"

He said.

Concubine Yang went to check the main unit of the air conditioner.

No sound.

Then he said, "Yun'er just came to see it yesterday."

Without air-conditioning, Li Shimin would be meaningless here. It's hot everywhere now, and it's not good anywhere!

"And then? What did he say? Is the air conditioner going to break down?"

The air conditioner was broken for three days and two days.

It has never happened before.

But their air conditioners have basically never been turned off, and it seems very normal if they are broken.

But Concubine Yang said: "It's not that it's broken, it's that there's no electricity! It's the same with Concubine Wang."

"There's no electricity? How could this happen? If it's fine, there's no electricity? Isn't this generator too bad?"

"That's right, Yun'er said that there will be a short power outage in the past few days!"

"why?"

"It is said that the new generator set of the reservoir is about to be activated."

Regarding power generation, Li Shimin also knew something through the Zhenguan News.

These common sense things were published by Li Yin.

It gave the people of the entire Tang Dynasty a chance to learn.

Naturally, Li Shimin would not give up this opportunity.

Learn this kind of thing, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

It's boring when other people talk about something and you don't understand it.When he said this, Li Shimin was puzzled!Why enable a new generator?Is it not enough electricity?He read it in the newspaper.A generator set can supply half of Chang'an city with electricity.He was puzzled by this question, and Yang was even more puzzled.

But there was one more question he wanted to ask more.

"Can the boy's reservoir really make money?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

After all, too much money has been invested in this reservoir.

But still didn't see a penny.

Therefore, he is also very curious.

Can this thing really make money?
Whether you can make money or not depends on the facts.

"This, I don't even know!"

"Huh? By the way, the whole group plus us can't use so much electricity! What does he use electricity for?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know. In the past few days, electric lights are going to be sold, and trams are also going to be sold. If these things are sold, it will be a big consumer of electricity. The previous power supply method will be changed! So , the power will be cut off.”

There seems to be some truth in saying this.

"Aifei, you seem to know a lot!"

"Yun'er said this! I asked him! He also said that Sheng Tang Group invested tens of millions of taels. It will pay back within half a month."

Concubine Yang said quickly.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin immediately became alert.

The investment in the reservoir is tens of millions of silver, how can it be possible to pay back within half a month?

There is no such thing as making money in the world.

Therefore, Li Shimin said:
"I want to see what this kid is going to do!"

Li Shimin was full of disbelief at what Li Yin said.

So he was going to have a look, but this time he didn't choose to join the Shengtang Group.

Or he will wait and see in a high-rise place to see if everything is as Li Yin said, and he will pay back within half a month.

Concubine Yang stopped him and said, "Your Majesty! It's so hot outside. What if I get heatstroke when I go out?"

"Think back, when I was fighting in the world, when was I afraid of this hot weather?"

This seems to make sense.But this time is different from the past, he ran over here again and again to clean the air conditioner.In fact, it also proved that he is very afraid of heat.

Life is good now!People will become less able to endure hardship.

"Okay, if you're willing, Aifei, let's go to the gate of the Shengtang Group together. Let's see what that kid wants to do."

Concubine Yang didn't refuse, but nodded lightly.

So they settled.

So the two dressed up in disguise, left the Suzaku Gate, and headed towards Shengtang Group.

At this time, the entrance of the Shengtang Group was already crowded with people, and it was impossible to squeeze in.

Li Shimin felt a little puzzled by such a grand occasion, what is this?
This is already beyond his imagination.

Is everything really as Li Yin said?

Will the cost be recovered in half a month?

So he stopped a man over to ask.

"Brother, what happened to Shengtang Group? Why are so many people here?"

The man responded, "I'm afraid you don't know, today is the day when Shengtang Group sells electric lamps. Most of the rich people in Chang'an City came here! It's to buy the electric lamp!"

"Oh? How do you sell the lamp?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

The man looked him up and down.

"Here, at least 30 taels must be prepared! Without 30 taels, it's best not to join in the fun!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was even more puzzled.

Ask again: "Is an electric light so expensive?"

"Expensive? That's for the poor! There are so many rich people now, and the workers who come out of the group are all so rich. Let alone a light bulb, let's say ten, they can all buy it." rise!"

These words hurt Li Shimin's heart.

Not so his courtiers.

His courtiers can't earn 30 taels a year, right?
This year's effort is only worth a light bulb?
Not to mention ministers, but the prince is also like this.

Therefore, he was inevitably a little frustrated.

At the same time, he was jealous of everything Li Yin did.

It was Concubine Yang who asked the man.

"Excuse me, are the lamps sold for 30 taels each?"

"If you say yes, you say yes, and if you say no, you don't!"

The man's words confused the two of them.

Is that yes or no?
"What was that like?"

The man then slowly opened his mouth.
