Li Shimin's carriage arrived at Dali Temple. He had just opened the curtain and was about to get off, when he suddenly hesitated. Because he found that the carriages in front of him were already lined up. Looking around, he saw that at least a dozen carriages were already blocking the road.
full.
Li Shimin looked around and realized that he was right. This is Dali Temple! But when did Dali Temple become so lively?
Li Shimin called Eunuch Gao over and said, "Go and ask what's going on. Why are there so many people?"
"promise."
Eunuch Gao took the order and left, but came back after a while and reported: "Your Majesty, these carriages are from major families. They are here to buy shares."
"Buying shares?" Li Shimin didn't understand, and wondered: "What is buying shares?"
Eunuch Gao answered honestly: "I heard it was done by Zhulu Hou, but I didn't quite understand it."
"Useless things." Li Shimin cursed, got off the carriage, and strode towards Dali Temple. As soon as he took a few steps, several guards jumped out, stopped in the middle of the road, and said, "I didn't see such a long thing."
Line up? Line up!"
Eunuch Gao said angrily: "You know who we are, so you let us queue up? Let me tell you, our noble family has never queued up!"
"!" The two guards looked at each other and chuckled disdainfully. The look in their eyes seemed to say, 'Look, another one is showing off.' Eunuch Gao said angrily: "What do you two mean?
"
The officer who just spoke clasped his fists and said: "You two nobles have invited you. Ordinarily you should not be allowed to line up. But these days, this is the rule here. Look at the carriage in front of you. The smallest one is not here."
We are all county officials. Aren't we all just lining up obediently? You two, you better line up, we are doing it for your own good. If you jump in line and cause public outrage, and a fight breaks out, you will be the one who suffers."
When Li Shimin heard what the two people said, he frowned and glanced at Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao took out his badge. When the two guards looked at it, the eunuch in charge was stunned for a moment. When he looked at Li Shimin again, he was so scared that he lost his soul.
, and quickly knelt on the ground.
Li Shimin shook his head and walked past the two of them into Dali Temple. Si Zhi at the door recognized Li Shimin and hurried over to greet him. At the same time, he sent someone to notify Sun Fujia.
Sun Fujia was on duty to entertain guests, but he had been very busy these days. He couldn't afford to offend anyone who came, and had to accompany them well. What was embarrassing was that none of them came to see him.
, all came to see Li Mu. But there was nothing he could do. When they arrived at his yamen gate, he couldn't do anything. The good young minister of Dali Temple felt like he was living his life like a bartender in a restaurant.
Hearing that Li Shimin was coming, Sun Fujia hurriedly confessed his crime and came to the door to greet him. As soon as Sun Fujia bent down, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I don't need to be polite. Tell me what's going on."
?”
Sun Fuga smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you have seen that these people are all here to invest in the company."
"What is investment?"
Sun Fujia hurriedly explained: "It's just like doing business and being a ginseng member. But it's a little more complicated, and I don't understand it very well. The day before yesterday, Zhuluhou met Wang Pu, the younger brother of Wang Shizhong, in the morning, and met Sun Chong, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, in the afternoon.
At that time, I met with Dr. Zhongyu Wengui from the Ministry of Industry. The next day, they announced the establishment of three companies, namely Datang Mining, Datang Salt Industry, and Datang Jianye. Then many people came, lining up to see Zhuluhou.
, I don’t understand the situation either.”
The more Li Shimin listened, the more confused he became. He frowned and said, "What is he doing now?"
"I seem to be meeting Duke Shen."
"Uncle?" Li Shimin said angrily: "My uncle, come to the prison to see him? What is going on!"
Sun Fuga smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, please don't get excited. As a young minister of Dali Temple, I have something I must report to Your Majesty."
"you say!"
"I want to impeach Marquis Zhulu. He openly accepted bribes. He also occupied an empty cell in Dali Temple as a warehouse. You will know it when you see it. Now the cells in Dali Temple are full of copper coins. The amount is immeasurable. I can estimate it.
, there must be at least 120,000 to 30,000 strings..."
"Twenty-two or thirty thousand..." Li Shimin felt a jolt on the back of his neck, and a rush of blood rushed up to him. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the prison. Sun Fujia and Eunuch Gao quickly followed, and the three of them entered the cell.
Hearing Li Mu's voice: "...Old Duke, I'm not kidding you, it's less than 10,000 guan. Please forgive me for not serving you. I'm not lying to you either. Look at this account book. There is no one with less than 10,000 guan."
Yes? Our rules are clearly written, more shares, more dividends, less shares, less dividends. If you pay a few thousand dollars, how much can you get? I have to arrange an accounting room for you. I really can’t do this! Datang Salt Industry
, the registered capital is one million guan, for such a big deal, and you have such a high status, you only have to pay 8,000 guan, tsk tsk...it’s hard to say or not!”
"Boy Li Mu! Did you say that you would give me some benefits that day? I believed you and have been waiting for you for so many days. What have you been waiting for? Now I haven't received any benefits. It's better for you to ask me for it instead.
Money...does this make sense?”
"Old Duke, what you said is unconscionable. I meant to give you a benefit, and I gave it to you. You see, there are three companies now. Datang Salt Industry, Datang Mining, and Datang Jianye, right? Originally, right?
According to my arrangement, only the Cui family of Qinghe, the Li family of Zhaojun, and the Wang family of Taiyuan can invest in Datang Mining. Only the nobles of Longyou can invest in Datang Salt Industry. Datang Jianye will not accept shares for the time being. But for Lao Guo
Sir, you can invest in any of the three companies. What a benefit! Others only have one hen that lays golden eggs, but you can have three. As long as you invest money boldly, the return will be three times that of others. That's not all.
It’s considered a benefit, tell me, what counts as a benefit?”
Gao Shilian was a little anxious and said: "I can't help but give me some shares..."
Li Mu slammed the table and said: "Old Duke! Are you too thick-skinned? I can't even ask you to buy shares? Didn't you see the carriages queuing up outside when you came? They all want to
You can't buy shares! Are you not satisfied when you compare with them? How can there be free food in the world? Eating free food is what beggars do. Old Duke, you have status
Why do you insist on comparing yourself to beggars?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt a sudden change in his heart. He knew Gao Shilian's temper very well, and he got angry. No one dared to scold him except Li Yuan. It seemed that Li Mu was about to be scolded. Somehow, Li Shimin actually
I feel a little happy in my heart.
But what Gao Shilian said next shocked him.
"Okay, okay, I can't help you. I'll buy shares. Three companies, 10,000 yuan each!"
"Okay!" Li Mu said, and said to Du Gujiu next to him: "Brother, write it down for me, the three companies each have 10,000 yuan." Seeing Dugu Jiu write the voucher, Li Mu said to Gao Shi again
Lian said: "Old Duke, as I said before, the quantity is limited. There is a limited date on the voucher. If the money is not received by the time, the shares may not be yours. That's the rule. That's it.
Your Majesty, you have no face!"
"Here you go!" Gao Shilian took the ticket and said through gritted teeth.
At this time, Li Shimin couldn't bear it any longer and walked to the cell door. Li Mu was keeping accounts with a smile on his face. When he suddenly saw Li Shimin, he quickly put his smile away and saluted honestly: "See your majesty."
Gao Shilian turned around and saw Li Shimin. He made a casual salute and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, your good minister!"
Li Shimin said awkwardly: "Uncle, please don't be angry... Li Mu! What's going on! How can you be so disrespectful to my uncle?"
Li Mu said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, we are discussing business. If the old Duke is not willing, I can't force him. Now you can also regret it and ask the old Duke to return the voucher to me, just pretend it never happened.
."
"uncle……"
"Don't even think about it!" Gao Shilian said angrily: "I have put in so much effort to get the voucher, and you want to return it? If you give it back, you will give me shares? Say no more! I went back to my hometown to raise money, alas!"
Gao Shilian sighed and left, and Li Mu shouted at the top of his lungs: "Old Duke, I forgot to mention, do you want an office? It depends on your face, the same price, you can choose whatever you want, others can only wait in line!"
"I don't need it!"
Gao Shilian's voice came from far away, and the people had already gone out.
Li Shimin stared at Li Mu. Li Mu noticed his gaze and shrugged his shoulders.
"Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"
Li Mu bowed and saluted, saying: "I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"
"I don't know why I'm so happy?"
"Your Majesty, in just three days, I have earned for Your Majesty..." Li Mu glanced at the account book and said: "I have earned 1.72 million yuan for Your Majesty."
"How much?" Li Shimin thought he was hallucinating and said, "Tell me again, how much is it?"
"One hundred and seventy-two million strings."
Suddenly there was a sound of air-conditioning, Li Shimin waved his hand, Eunuch Gao took Sun Fujia, and winked at Li Chongyi and Dugujiu. The two did not understand the meaning, and were pulled out by Eunuch Gao one by one.
The cell door was closed, and only Li Shimin and Li Mu were left in the prison. Li Shimin stared at Li Mu with burning eyes and asked: "Tell me again, how much money did you make?"
"I've said it twice! It's 1.72 million yuan. When I send out all the shares, I'll get the two million yuan."
Li Shimin took a few deep breaths before calming down. He gestured to Li Mu, and they both sat down. Now in the cell, there are not only beds, but also tables and chairs. Wherever there is a cell, it is like a lobby.
Got into a posture.
Li Shimin originally wanted to find fault, but in the face of millions of dollars, obviously this was not a problem.
"My dear," Li Shimin stared at Li Mu, his face full of warmth and warmth: "Tell me, how did you earn this money?"
"This money is..." Li Mu was about to say, but suddenly paused, put on a sad look on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, my little trick is not worth mentioning. Your Majesty, I am a guilty person, so it is not worth mentioning."
I dare to say meritorious service, and I haven’t seen my family for several days, and I miss you so much that I am sick with worry..."
Knowing that he had come up with this trick, Li Shimin said angrily: "I don't need you to write the excerpt anymore, can you tell me?"
