Because Li Chengqian has saved Empress Changsun these days, made horseshoes, and the last Tang sword, Li Shimin attaches great importance to it.

Li Chengqian often knew about some major national events and asked him to listen to the Tai Chi Palace.

However, this caused Li Chengqian's trouble.

You pester me so much, how can I do business?

At the same time, the Hero Tower has not been to it for a long time.

Fortunately, Zou Fengchi is still very understanding.

With the cooperation of Cheng Chumo and others, their progress has not stopped, but on the contrary, it has become particularly energetic.

The red wine also attracted Li Shimin's attention in one fell swoop.

Li Shimin also said that this red wine will replace Qianrijuan as the only wine used for the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry festival.

Nothing else, just because it tastes good, and it is not easy to get drunk. Nothing will happen.

Even if you drink red wine, you can write poems in addition to watching the moon, but white wine is not good. If you are drunk, what else can you write poems?

As soon as the news came out, the entire Chang'an and even the nearby prefectures rushed to the Hero Building to buy wine.

This forced Zou Fengchi to vigorously acquire grapes. Chang'an grapes were sold out. This was the first time such a thing happened in history. They had to increase trade and buy them from the West, which was somewhat alleviated.

This is a good thing. On this day, Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to go to Tai Chi Palace again, saying that he would be allowed to listen to it, which would help his future rule.

In this way, Li Shimin intends to train Li Chengqian to become the successor of the new generation.

This way, Li Chengqian's status has increased several times, at least to outsiders.

But in the eyes of some people, such as Changsun Wuji, Concubine Wang and Xu Jingzong, this is not good.

They wanted Li Chengqian to step down and impeach him directly to help the person they wanted to become the crown prince.

However, Li Chengqian could not do what they wanted.

He should have decided to be the position of the prince.

He also wants to be the emperor!

In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin frowned.

"Li Jing, what did you say? The iron raw materials are not enough? What should I buy?"

"The emperor is very expensive at this time, so it is not impossible to buy it, but the price you have to pay is too high!"

Li Jing said so again.

This iron is in the hands of the aristocratic families, and they raise the price so much that Li Shimin has no choice.

"What! The iron price is very high!?"

Li Shimin was quite shocked.

At this time, Du Ruhui said: "Perhaps we can speed up the mining speed."

Fang Xuanling opposed it, "No, Shandong famine has just passed in recent years, and people have not had enough food to store at this time. If we speed up the mining speed, we will inevitably recruit migrant workers. In that case, the Tang Dynasty, which has few people farmed, will make it worse!"

"I agree with Duke Xing's statement!"

"I think Duke Lai's statement is feasible. Without strong military protection, what are you talking about about people's livelihood?"

Duke Lai is Du Ruhui.

Some others even said that they would use all the iron parts of the treasury. This method is undoubtedly a tragedy, which will definitely directly affect the national strength. The combat power of the Tang sword has been significantly improved, but it does not mean that it can quickly create a huge amount of people. According to Li Chengqian's idea, the main troops will be equipped first, and the others will go back.

At this time, Li Chengqian on the side was thinking.

He is a man with talent for governing the country.

Of course I understand how to do it and how to do it.

These days, he was dragged to the Tai Chi Palace by Li Shimin to study, and he was almost annoyed to death.

It's all trivial matters.

Where do you need his talent for governing the country?

But today is different.

Because of iron, he has to take the initiative.

He found that there were two things in the entire Tang Dynasty that were not in the hands of the imperial court.

One is iron and the other is salt. If you don’t have these two points yourself, it will be very dangerous.

Because one is a powerful weapon for war, and the second is people's livelihood, which is always needed.

This is the lifeline of the country.

I really don't understand why I didn't take it back.

And one more important thing is that these iron and salt are in the hands of the Wang family.

If the Tang Dynasty is strong, it must deal with the five surnames and seven hopes, because they occupied the entire Tang Dynasty's resources of seven or eight, which is a very dangerous thing.

If you can't handle them, everything will be false.

If you don’t deal with them and become stronger, you can only be just empty talk.

Moreover, the Wang family is against him everywhere, so he has to start with them.

Next, there are other aristocratic families.

So, he stood up.

"Father, my son, think that instead of re-mining, it is better to directly order the common people not to participate in cast iron and mining iron ore! In other words, nationalize the iron! Take back all the people's iron, of course, this is not free, we can compensate them!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt it was novel.

However, Li Chengqian's words aroused opposition from all the people.

"Cast iron and mining are not something that ordinary people can do! No one here has this strength except aristocratic families. If it is nationalized, it will not cut off the aristocratic families' backings? You must know that the taxes contributed by the aristocratic families every year account for seven or eight out of ten. What if they are unhappy and don't cooperate directly?"

Li Chengqian laughed.

He looked at the person who spoke. It was Wang Gui, one of the representatives of the Wang family, who only got into trouble last time.

This time he must be on the side of the Wang family.

His words made me feel a little upset.

He directly retorted: "You Wang Shizhong, you are a little bit backbone! I am afraid of a small family in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Chengqian's speech was very domineering, which shocked some people.

Some people express disdain.

Just like Changsun Wuji.

He came forward and said, "Minister Wang Gui is also anxious for the overall situation. If he rashly retrieves the iron and nationalizes it, it will be really not fair enough to some people!"

Li Chengqian agreed, they opposed it.

If Li Chengqian opposes, they must agree.

This is the urinary nature of these people.

Li Chengqian had already done it.

Originally, he didn't speak, and these people didn't speak, but when he spoke, they followed him.

It's true that the urine is not changed.

What Li Chengqian originally wanted to argue, but if he argued all of this, he would disperse his power.

So, he also wanted to show his words and said it after he felt good.

"You just don't see far enough! It's really pedantic! You only look at the immediate interests but not the future. The future is what we want. Should we stick to the present and give up the beauty of the future? Now we should put the country first, rather than considering the ideas of those aristocratic families. If the country is gone, will these aristocratic families still survive? Let's talk about it, can it be or can't? I will listen here, listen to what you are going to say!"

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone was speechless.

Especially Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji.
