Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered one thing. He asked Ministry of Works to repair the burned Xi Market and East Market in Chang’an City. I wonder what happened? Thinking about it, he glanced at the numerous officials: “Where is the Ministry of Works High Official?”

tone barely fell, a half-hundred man stood up. He is the Ministry of Works High Official Duan Lun.

Duan Lun took a step forward and bowed and said: “His Majesty, this small official is here.”

Li Shimin slightly nodded, said seriously: “Duan Minister, I suddenly remembered a What happened to the Xi Market and East Market that you repaired last time?”

Duan Lun corner of mouth twitching, secretly thought a bad sound.

The last time Cháng’ān Xi Market and East Market were burned, His Majesty indeed ordered the Ministry of Works to repair them, but how can the Ministry of Works have any money to repair?

So I kept dragging, and dragging now, why did His Majesty suddenly think of this thing?

It’s all the guy from Tai Shiling, if it wasn’t for this guy’s memorial report, why would His Majesty suddenly remember?

Thinking about it, he turned his head and glared fiercely at Tai Shi Ling.

Poor Tai Shiling has a dumb face, and he doesn’t even know what happened. He has played a little bit of military affairs. Why is the Ministry of Works High Official staring at him?

Even though he was puzzled in his heart, he did not dare to speak, because Duan Lun’s official position was bigger than him, so he had to put on a smiling face.

Duan Lun became even more angry. He thought that Shiling was just making a joke. He was full of anger. He could guarantee that if it weren’t for Attending the Imperial court, he would have gone to beat this guy long ago.

But at this moment, Li Shimin’s majestic voice fell again: “Duan Minister, why didn’t you say a word?”

Duan Lun shook abruptly, and then turned slowly Over his head, he looked at Li Shimin tremblingly, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Li Shimin seems to have seen something, browses slightly wrinkle, rather dissatisfied, said: “Minister, have you not repaired it yet?”

Duan Lun’s legs were soft, and regardless of the actual situation, he knelt on the ground and shouted: “His Majesty, forgive me.”

The other Ministry of Works officials behind him did not dare to see it. After hesitating, he quickly knelt down on the ground, shouting forgiveness.

Sure enough.

Li Shimin sneered.

Sure enough, these dog things have not been repaired.

No wonder it’s been so long.

He was coldly snorted and said: “Why didn’t it be repaired?”

Duan Lun did not reply immediately, but gave a quiet glance to Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou was shivered. He felt an inexplicable premonition, but he couldn’t tell, so he coughed slightly, pretending to be calm.

On the other hand, Duan Lun looked up tremblingly and looked towards Li Shimin, and whispered: “His Majesty, it’s not that the Ministry of Works does not repair, but that there is no money and no workers.”

“No money? No workers?”

Li Shimin corner of mouth twitching, I feel that IQ has been insulted. The Ministry of Works has no money. You can still believe this. How could there be no workers? What’s the use of such a large Ministry of Works? He stood up suddenly and glared at Duan Lun: “Duan Lun, do you think I am fooling? How can the Ministry of Works have no money? What’s more ridiculous is that there are no workers? Do you know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is?”

“This small official dare not deceive the king.”

Duan Lun was in a cold sweat, and his legs began to tremble: “His Majesty, Ministry of Works gave the Imperial Palace inside and outside all the year round, but also There are military camps, the palace of the emperor and the Minister, etc., and it is said that they can receive a lot of money, but a lot of the arrears have not been settled, which led to the loss of income. The Xi Market and East Market have been repaired this time, and the Ministry of Works has not been repaired for a long time. I have money.”

Li Shimin was startled.

He didn’t expect this to happen again.

Indeed, the Ministry of Works not only repairs the Imperial Palace inside and outside, but also repairs the Minister and the barracks at ordinary times, so that you can earn some money and will not eat up the State Treasury. The Ministry of Works workers’ salary will also be improved. .

I just didn’t expect that the Ministry of Works still has arrears that have not been recovered?

So, did you blame this guy?

He deliberately coughed slightly to conceal his embarrassment, and then said: “Then why don’t you ask the Ministry of Households High Official Dai Zhou to borrow money?”

Here is it?

Dai Zhou was shivered, feeling a chill behind his back.

He faintly remembered something. Duan Lun once came to him to borrow money, but he didn’t lend it to him. Now His Imperial Majesty suddenly asked, this old youngster won’t shake it out, right?

No wonder this old youngster looked strange in his eyes just now.

It turned out to be here.

Thinking about it, he narrowed his eyes and turned to look towards Duan Lun.

I saw Duan Lun and said again: “His Majesty, last time the minister asked Dai High Official, but Dai High Official said there was no money.”

Li Shimin brows slightly wrinkle, turn He looked towards Dai Zhou and said with a look of confusion: “Dai Minister, the household has no money?”

Dai Zhou took a moment to take a step forward and bowed and said: “His Majesty, not a minister. I don’t lend to Duan High Official, but the Department of Household’s deposits are not too much, and the last time Duan High Official said it’s not clear, the minister thought he was joking, so…”

As he said, he smiled awkwardly: “This small official is also helpless.”

Hearing this, Li Shimin understood it.

This guy Duan Lun may really have no extra money, and then go to Dai Zhou to borrow money. For various reasons, Dai Zhou did not borrow money. Maybe it was not enough money, or he did not borrow it deliberately.

But these are not important. Since Dai Zhou did not borrow, he naturally has his own reasoning.
