The Tang Dynasty Started from the Great Governor to the Emperor

　　Yizhou.

　　Yizhou Grand Governor's Office.

　　I saw an eunuch standing in the main hall, holding the imperial decree, and reciting aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict said, Li Ke, the king of Shu, the proud son of the sky, predicted the flood, presented disaster relief measures, sacrificed to the sky and stopped the rain. I miss the people of Limin, their merits can be learned from the sky..."

　　"...Therefore, from now on, King Li Ke of Shu is allowed to open his palace to recruit scholars, and the appointment of officials below the fifth rank will not be subject to review by the Ministry of Civil Affairs; the Yijun of the territory is allowed to expand by [-] people. [-] people; In addition, the King of Shu left Beijing for many days, and the mother and concubine thought about it, so the King of Shu was granted permission to return to Chang'an three times a year, except for the annual report!"

　　Li Ke heard the sound, bowed directly, and said, "My son, thank the father and Huanglong!"

　　Seeing this, the eunuch handed the imperial decree to Li Ke, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has made great contributions to the society, and His Majesty is very optimistic about His Highness."

　　Li Ke received the imperial decree, and said with a smile: "This king is ashamed of his love for the father, my father-in-law rushed to Yizhou from Chang'an, and was exhausted by boat and car. I also asked my father-in-law to stay in Yizhou for a few days, so that this king can do his best as a landlord. friendship,"

　　Hearing this, the eunuch quickly waved his hand and said, "This old servant will not let His Highness bother, and His Majesty is still waiting for this old servant to return."

　　When Li Ke heard the eunuch's words, there was a hint of pity on his face, and he said, "That's a pity, but the matter of the father and the emperor is important, and this king should not force his father-in-law."

　　"How about this!"

　　Li Ke took out a piece of silver from his bosom and said, "Father-in-law has worked so hard, these... are also the wishes of this king, and I hope that father-in-law can accept it."

　　"His Royal Highness, you are breaking the old slave, how dare the old slave..." The eunuch was about to shirk when he saw this, but Li Ke put the silver directly into his hand and whispered: "Father-in-law will take it. Let the king's heart be in your mind, and in the future... the palace will have to trouble the father-in-law to help take care of it."

　　Hearing the words, the eunuch's heart suddenly moved. He recalled the importance Li Shimin placed on Li Ke, hesitated for a moment, compared the situation of the princes in his heart, and after thinking about it, he finally put away the money.

　　Then I saw him bowing to Li Ke and said: "Your Highness is famous for his virtuous reputation, and this time he has helped all the people. His Majesty really loves His Highness, and the old slave also admires His Highness. Your Highness can rest assured that in the palace, the old man Slave will definitely…”

　　The eunuch didn't finish speaking, but how could Li Ke not know what he meant.

　　Li Ke said with a smile, "After that, I'll have to trouble my father-in-law!"

　　"Everywhere, this is what the old slave should do, but when it comes to His Highness, the old servant does have something to tell His Highness, I hope His Highness will pay attention."

　　The eunuch hesitated for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and said something he shouldn't have said.

　　"Oh? What's the matter? Please ask Eunuch Zhao for advice!" Li Ke raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking.

　　Eunuch Zhao was one of Li Shimin's most trusted eunuchs. Although the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were not very famous, Eunuch Zhao served Li Shimin almost every day, so he also knew a lot of secrets. The reason why Li Ke tried to recruit Eunuch Zhao was also because for this reason.

　　It's just that he didn't expect that Eunuch Zhao would accept it as soon as he cast the olive branch.

　　Eunuch Zhao took a deep look at Li Ke, and immediately said, "Your Highness has opened three factories? And you have recruited [-] people to work for His Highness, right?"

　　Li Ke nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

　　"That's it."

　　Eunuch Zhao said: "His Royal Highness may not know that the court is very concerned about the requisition of the people's husbands. After all, the people are the people. If the people are not enough to cultivate because of the collection of people's husbands, that would be a big sin!"

　　"And what Your Highness has done is really terrifying. He directly levied [-] people. Even in the imperial court's ironworks, there are not so many people... So..."

　　Eunuch Zhao lowered his voice and said: "So, before the old slave came to read the imperial decree, he happened to hear such a thing. The Ministry of Industry is now investigating these matters in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it just so happens... that some officials are reporting to His Majesty. At that time, I mentioned His Highness, saying that His Highness might be for his own sake, forcing the people to work for His Highness, and not thinking about Tianliang's affairs..."

　　"Although Your Majesty doesn't care much, but... things have happened, if they don't resolve, I'm afraid it will be more and more pressure and rebound!"

　　Having said that, Eunuch Zhao didn't say any more.

　　He also said what should be said and what should not be said. He believed that His Royal Highness the King of Shu would understand what he meant.

　　And Li Ke, of course, understood what Eunuch Zhao said, but... he frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled.

　　There seems to be no conflict between yourself and the Ministry of Industry, right?

　　If there is a contradiction, it should be between him and the Ministry of Officials!

　　After all, according to Cen Wenwen's secret letter, the entire personnel department was almost wiped out because of his own report. Even the eldest son Wuji was demoted by one rank and fined for three years, while the rest of the people were fine if they were alive. .

　　Therefore, the entire personnel department was almost paralyzed.

　　Therefore, it would be normal to say that someone in the Ministry of Personnel was looking for trouble for him.

　　But now, it is the Ministry of Industry?

　　"The Ministry of Industry... The Ministry of Industry..."

　　Li Ke kept thinking about his memory of Tang history in his mind, and suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

　　Li Ke looked directly at the eunuch and said, "Eunuch Zhao, do you know who the Minister of Industry is?"

　　Eunuch Zhao glanced at Li Ke with a deep meaning, and immediately said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is the younger brother of the late Du Ruhui Du, Du Chuke!"

　　"It sure is him!"

　　When Li Ke heard the words, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

　　Du Chuke!

　　How could Li Ke not know about him? He is also a ruthless man. He was able to make a name for himself in the history books, not because of his elder brother Du Ruhui's identity. His influence was also very big in the middle of Zhenguan!

　　Moreover, he has another layer of identity!

　　That is... one of the main advisors of King Li Tai of Wei!

　　In Li Ke's memory, he remembered that the reason why Li Tai finally became interested in and acted on the throne was because Du Chuke planned and supported him.

　　Without Du Chuke, Li Tai would lose half of his country!

　　"So...it's Li Tai who shot me?"

　　Li Ke's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he thought in his heart: "I just said, how could Li Tai stop so much? He doesn't seem to be the same person as Li Tai in my memory. I thought it was an error in the historical records, but I didn't expect... ...he's hiding deep enough!"

　　"Does this want us to compete with sandpipers and mussels, and then the fisherman wins?"

　　"It's a pity that he thought too well. He didn't expect me to fight with the prince, but instead made me completely up? This is why I have to jump over the wall and have to take action?"

　　Li Ke sneered in his heart, he was not afraid that someone would deal with him, after all, if he wanted to win the throne as the blood of his previous dynasty, he would inevitably have to go through a bloody storm.

　　He was just afraid that he didn't even know who was dealing with him. That feeling was as if a poisonous snake had been staring at him from behind, which made him very unhappy.

　　But now, now that you know who the enemy is, it's a lot easier.

　　As for what Eunuch Zhao said, Li Ke really didn't take it to heart. After all, he had anticipated these things at the beginning of the establishment of the factory, and... he had already made sufficient preparations.

　　It's just that he originally wanted to be low-key to do this, but now it seems that someone forced himself to be high-profile!

　　"Hey, it seems that another wave of fame is about to be made, and I've made a contribution! I'm very tired when I make a contribution every day!"

　　Li Ke smiled sarcastically in his heart, and immediately saw him look at Eunuch Zhao, and said, "Eunuch Zhao, it's getting late, you might as well leave tomorrow. Regarding the matter of my factory, I also want to ask Eunuch Zhao to see it with his own eyes. Let's see what the facts are, and then... this king also has a report, hoping that Eunuch Zhao can help this king submit it to the father..."

Chapter [-] Li Ke makes another move, this time it's a premeditated trick!

　　Zhao Gonggong told Li Ke these secrets, and it was obvious that he had already stated his position among the many princes, so he naturally would not refuse Li Ke's words, but it would be fine if he stayed for one more day.

　　Soon, someone left with Eunuch Zhao.

　　After that, only Li Ke and Chu Suiliang were left in the main hall.

　　Chu Suiliang was originally happy because of the emperor's award. After all, it was a signal that Li Shimin really began to pay attention to Li Ke.

　　Moreover, he also intends to form a force for Li Ke.

　　Although the emperor's heart is unpredictable, no matter what Li Shimin's real thoughts are, for Li Ke, being able to open a mansion and expand armaments is an excellent thing!

　　But what Eunuch Zhao revealed later made Chu Suiliang's brows wrinkle, and his face became a little dignified.

　　He said: "His Royal Highness, the Ministry of Industry has found trouble with us. It can be big or small at this time, but it is a hidden danger after all, and we have to guard against it!"

　　When Li Ke heard Chu Suiliang's words, he just smiled lightly, his expression still calm.

　　"Heh... it doesn't matter, it's just a clown jumping on the beam!"

　　Li Ke picked up the teacup and shook it lightly, and saw the ripples in the teacup suddenly rise.

　　He twitched a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Actually, this king shouldn't even be a little angry and angry, because it's really time for them to jump out."

　　"If it weren't for them, perhaps this matter of this king would only be the icing on the cake for 927! But now, this king thinks, it may be a help in the snow!"

　　"For this great merit, shouldn't this king thank them?"

　　Li Ke's words were endless, even though Chu Suiliang was only a few ounces tall, he couldn't keep up with Li Ke's thoughts.

　　However, having been assisting Li Ke for so long has made Chu Suiliang accustomed to Li Ke's unrestrained thinking. Now he only needs to make sure that Li Ke has a countermeasure for this matter, and that is enough.

　　As for how to thank the enemy, Chu Suiliang couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

　　After all, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has even predicted the catastrophe, and even the event of sacrificing the sky and stopping the rain has come true, and because of these things, the strength of the prince has been greatly weakened, and his reputation has skyrocketed, and his power has greatly increased... In Chu Suiliang's view, these things were like a dream, something he never dared to think about before.

　　But who knows, these things that I dare not even dream of, have actually been achieved, and it is still in just one month!

　　This made him completely admire Li Ke.

　　Now he has no doubts about any of Li Ke's words.

　　In his eyes, Li Ke was no different from that god.

　　As long as Li Ke said he could do it, he wouldn't say a word more, just do his best to cooperate with Li Ke.

　　"Your Highness, what are we going to do next?" Chu Suiliang said.

　　Li Ke thought for a while, then said: "I will write a memorial to the emperor later. With this memorial, those things are nothing..."

　　"in addition……"

　　Li Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and the light in his eyes flickered. He pondered for a while, and the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched, and he suddenly said, "Mr. Chu, our glass has been produced, right?"

　　Chu Suiliang nodded. Never seen before!"

　　"And more importantly, its cost is still so low, the cost of producing a glass is only three or four copper plates!"

　　Li Ke heard the words, the smile on his face deepened.

　　He said, "Mr. Chu, do you think this king would be popular if he sold these glasses?"

　　Chu Suiliang didn't even think about it, just nodded and said, "It will definitely be popular, after all, this kind of glass that looks more transparent than that colored glass, as long as you see it once, you won't be able to move your eyes. , there is definitely a market.”

　　Li Ke is not a person of this era, and he is not too sure whether his thinking can be completely integrated with this era, but with Chu Suiliang's assurance, he is no longer worried.

　　Glasses can sell well, so you don't have to worry about money in the future.

　　But...because of Li Tai's appearance, his original plan will also change at this time.

　　Li Ke added, "Mr. Chu, what do you think is the right price for our glasses?"

　　"This..." Chu Suiliang thought for a while, and then said: "The cost of a glass is three or four copper plates, and our production speed is very fast, we can produce tens of thousands of glasses a day, according to this Speed, even if each glass is priced at ten copper plates, it can make us the richest gentleman in Datang!”
