The combination of Bai Qisi and Li Shimin's bodyguards plus the Imperial Guards is quite efficient.

The eunuchs involved in the case, both large and small, were brought back to the palace. As for other participants, such as the accountants, etc., they were sent directly to Yongzhou Mansion in Chang'an (there was no Jingzhao Mansion in the early Tang Dynasty).

The mortals sent by Li Shimin and the officials of Yongzhou Prefecture were naturally cautious. It must be said here that Yongzhou Prefecture, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was a combination of modern government agencies, responsible for civil affairs, criminal investigation, arrests, etc.

political affairs.

The direct subordinates of Yongzhou Prefecture are usually the emperor himself or a prince registered as the head. Yongzhou Prefecture, that is, the territory of Chang'an City is actually under the direct jurisdiction of Li Shimin.

After gathering a group of people, these small officials cheered up. If Li Shimin asked for someone, it would be a big problem if they couldn't help him.

The fate of these greedy eunuchs was not good. Li Shimin set a standard: if the eunuchs had more than a thousand taels, they would be beheaded directly, and if the eunuchs had less than a thousand taels, they would be sent directly to the official mines to work as coolies.

The law enforcement of torture in the Tang Dynasty was very strict. This time Li Shimin punished the censors in this way and kept silent. Dealing with the eunuchs was a matter within Li Shimin's palace.

It's not that the censors didn't want to speak out. In fact, some of them who had property were very disgusted with corruption, but they suffered from the fact that Li Mingda's two daughters were not capable.

Then Lao Li's hands removed the moths and rats from the property under his name, and Li Mingda relied on his shameless cuteness to officially take over the right to handle the property.

Send out a few of the little eunuchs around you to take over the processing, and bring the accounts back to Qingfeng and Mingyue for review every month or every three months.

The usable part of the account was given to Li Chen and asked him to run the intelligence agency. For the sake of reputation and to prevent the censor and Wei Zheng from causing trouble for him in the future, Li Mingda finally gave up the private casino and the ladies' hospital.

Restaurant

teahouse

Inn

escort agency

These four industries

In a restaurant, as long as the food is well cooked, everything will be fine. In order to give the restaurant a head start, Li Mingda directly asked Li Chen to find his eldest grandson from the imperial kitchen.

Inns followed restaurants to attract businessmen from other places who stayed temporarily and some wealthy residents from outside the city. Occasionally, there were also Chang'an residents who drank too much and were unable to return home before the curfew.

There are three types of inns: poor, middle-class and noble.

The three distinctions correspond to three different levels of information channels.

The next step is the Escort Bureau. It is now the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, which is 635 AD. The Tang Dynasty has never stopped fighting wars of all sizes. It is still very easy to recruit soldiers who have retired.

Li Chen's official identity was that of the emperor's bodyguard. The retired Fubing, Beiya Forbidden Army, Soldier Recruitment, Border Guards, and some people from the Li family clan were able to overwhelm the population with just a little effort.

Li Chen was busy everywhere under Li Mingda's orders every day. In order to fill the vacancy, Li Mingda accepted Li Chen's recommendation and asked his brother Li Guang, who was also a guard in the imperial court, to come and serve.

Then there is the teahouse. To be honest, Li Mingda cannot praise the Tang Dynasty tea. What do you put in it? Peanut milk, Sichuan peppercorns and aniseed.

Li Mingda can still accept the milk and peanuts, but the milk tea quilt and the peppercorns and aniseed are a bit uncomfortable.

I almost spit it out when I took a whiff of it with pepper and aniseed ingredients.

I miss the tea I drank in modern times. Although I am not someone who can afford to drink tea from a small pot, I can still try ordinary green tea.

Under Li Mingda's secret command, Qingfeng followed Li Chen out of the palace and went to the Western Market to buy a group of female slaves to teach the tea making process. In order to avoid being counterfeited, Li Mingda specifically requested that the teahouse publicly print out Li Mingda's

banner, and stated that the counterfeiters wanted Li Mingda to look good.

The Tang Dynasty was not afraid of many things in Lao Li's family. However, hehe, I, Li Mingda, had my word first, so I acted cute for three days and bribed Lao Li with the first batch of tea leaves made by Qingfeng himself, and got the imperial gift.

The title of "the best tea in the world".

After more than three months of busy work inside and outside, it was almost the Chinese New Year. Since the reputation was not very good when he first opened his business, Li Mingda planned to use his four masters.

In the past few months, Li Mingda has been busy, and so has Li Shimin. As soon as the audit was over, Cheng Yaojin and his gang came to Li Shimin after hearing the news. They wanted someone who was good at auditing to clean up their property.

Down.

Li Shimin originally wanted to agree, but he asked Li Mingda to do this. Li Mingda was so busy, did he have time?

Of course not!

Sometimes Lao Li's face is not so generous. Besides, if you help now, how can you get benefits from those old gangsters and old foxes in the future?

Under Li Mingda's instruction, Qingfeng and Mingyue rejected Lao Li with the title that was not allowed to be taught outside the school. In order to prevent Lao Li and a bunch of old hooligans, the old fox became anxious and agreed to help when he was free.

Give Lao Li the steps to check.

Having said this, Li Shimin has nothing to say. In ancient society, it was normal for others not to teach you this kind of talent. It was recognized by both the people and the government. You can refuse to teach skills. There is a limit to the inheritance of skills.

Set strict rules. If others don't teach you, you can't be strong, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

time flies

The eighth year of Zhenguan is coming to an end soon, and Li Mingda has also celebrated his second birthday.

This year, a lot of big things happened.

Li Mingda confirmed several pieces of information about Li Chen that he obtained in the palace.

Syrian missionary Aroben entered China, and Christianity began to be introduced into China.

According to the Hu merchants and Tang merchants who had returned safely from the Silk Road, the Arab Empire, also known as Dashi in the Tang Dynasty, captured Damascus.

Li Mingda felt that the reason why Aroben came was because Syria was already a green world. It would be good if he could come here alive. Li Mingda, the previous Western sect, was not cold, but Aroben could take advantage of it later.

Next is the unlucky child of Tuyuhun. You can't say that you are unlucky. You see, the country has not been destroyed yet.

Li Mingda was really surprised. Even the Turks were beaten into grandsons by the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun was still alive.

Actually, after thinking about it later, I figured it out, it’s the butterfly effect.

Jie Lirang, who was known as the invincible fighter in the world, had never had an easy time since returning to the grassland after his grandson was killed and injured in the Weishui River attack. The Tang Dynasty had no time to fight every year.

The Turks were nomadic people, and they could not recuperate as quickly as the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, they had suffered such huge losses and had no chance to cultivate themselves. By the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turks were completely finished than in history.

Some of them ran west, and some of them surrendered on the spot, declaring Li Shimin the Khan of Heaven, and that was the end of it. It has been four years now, and Jieli has been hanging for many years. The Tang Dynasty was famous all over the world, and Tuyuhun was smart enough to give in early.

He has only survived until now without looking for trouble. However, after Cheng Ping has passed these years and the Turks died, he has also received a group of Turkic immigrants, so he has some small thoughts and is normal.

The palace banquet in the eighth year of Zhenguan came as scheduled. Li Mingda looked at the aristocratic officials of the Tang Dynasty, baring his teeth and smiling like a thief.
