Chang 'an City.
The Imperial Palace.
After Zhangsun Wuji returned to the Eastern Palace in a hurry, he didn't even have time to change his clothes before hurrying to Taiji Palace.
As soon as he entered, Zhangsun Wuji saw Li Shimin sitting in front of the desk with one hand supporting his forehead, thinking about something.
Zhangsun Wuji quietly dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs, and then personally dismissed all the guards outside the door. Only then did he cautiously come to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was a little confused.
But after seeing Zhangsun Wuji's serious face, Li Shimin couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Could it be that Zhangsun Wuji wanted something from him?
"Come with me!"
Li Shimin suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice.
Then, as if he was still worried, he ordered, "Xiao Guizi!"
"Your servant is here!"
"Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter the Imperial Study. Violators will be beheaded! I have something to discuss with Zhangsun Wuji! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After giving the order, Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji went to the Imperial Study.
"My dear minister, you seem to be in a hurry. What's the matter?"
Li Shimin asked as soon as he entered the Imperial Study and sat down on a soft couch.
He waved his hand and motioned for Zhangsun Wuji to sit down as well.
Zhangsun Wuji then said, "Your Majesty, the Guanlong Clan's industrial production is very prosperous. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to us. If we don't suppress them, they will unite with the Five Clans and Seven Kingdoms of Jiangnan. Things will become very serious."
Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned. The Guanlong Clan and the Five Clans and Seven Kingdoms were like thorns in his heart. If he didn't control them.
For the Tang Dynasty, this was not a good omen. Li Shimin paused.
"My dear minister, what do you think?"
Zhangsun Wuji said with a burning gaze, "But Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. I've received news that Zhang Feng's businesses in the Guanlong Clan have already occupied half of the market. As long as the price is lowered, the Guanlong Clan will definitely have internal strife!"
"Hmm?"
Li Shimin's expression changed as he couldn't help but think.
Lowering the price would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the workers there. After all, the prices of all the industries in Guanlong were on the high side.
If the price was lowered, it would destroy the balance and cause internal strife.
In this way, they would have no time to care about the matters in Jiangnan.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his hand and ordered.
"Minister, I'll leave this matter to you. Let the people over there rest for two days. At the same time, lower the price here."
"Understood!"
Zhangsun Wuji stood up and bowed.
Li Shimin lay on his bed and couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty has talents like Zhang Feng to share my worries and solve my problems. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do!
Seeing Li Shimin's melancholy expression, Zhangsun Wuji comforted.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Taking care of your body is more important. I've also received news from Yuchi Gong from Jiangnan. It's about Zhang Feng!"
"Hmm?"
Zhang Feng?
Didn't that kid go to Jiangnan?
Could it be that the kid did something in Jiangnan?
Li Shiming's melancholy face suddenly became rosy. Maybe it was because of Zhang Feng. Li Shiming asked doubtfully.
"My dear minister, quickly tell me, what's up with that kid?"
Zhangsun Wuji said with joy.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Feng is preparing to open an academy in Jiangnan!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but scratch his head, his heart full of doubts.
What is this kid trying to do?
He couldn't help but ask, "My dear minister, this kid is going to open an academy …?"
Seeing Li Shimin's confusion, Zhangsun Wuji explained.
"Your Majesty, please let me finish. Not only is Zhang Feng opening an academy, but he has also set up a test to recruit selective students. If you can answer it, you can be admitted as an exception. If you have a skill, you can also be admitted."
Li Shimin's heart trembled. Does this kid want to open an academy in Jiangnan like Chang 'an's White Deer Academy?
I remember that the kid said that opening an academy is to recruit talents from all over the world to serve the Tang Dynasty!
It seems that this kid didn't forget to think about me and the Tang Dynasty after going to Jiangnan!
He couldn't help but sigh with joy on his face.
"Good! Good! "
"Zhang Feng is really my good minister!"
Seeing Li Shimin's happy face, Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but agree.
"Your Majesty has such a talent. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous and the people will be at peace. It will be passed down for generations to come!"
Li Shimin said eagerly with joy on his face.
"Quick, my dear minister, what else did that kid do?"
Seeing Li Shimin's anxious face, Zhangsun Wuji was secretly surprised.
It seemed that His Majesty attached great importance to Zhang Feng's matter. After all, everything Zhang Feng did in Chang 'an was for the sake of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, he solved one problem after another. It could be said that he was the reincarnation of God's blessing to the Tang Dynasty!
Zhangsun Wuji said lightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Listen to me. Not only did Zhang Feng open an academy, but he also plans to build a bathhouse in Jiangnan!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes were filled with endless curiosity.
"Bathhouse?
What's that? Why have I never heard of it?
This kid is always making strange things. I don't know what the bathhouse is for! "
