Chapter 387 Yin Damage

"He said my father-in-law is not simple?"

Li Mu looked at the Gaochang delegation going away and murmured. He thought that Ju Zhisheng would reveal Zhang Tianai's engagement with him to disgust him, but he did not expect that Ju Zhisheng would focus on Zhang Xun.

Li Mu didn't really know much about his father-in-law. He learned his name from Zhang Tianai, but other than that, there was nothing noteworthy. According to Zhang Tianai, her father was a man with old wounds.

In the image of the old man who worked so hard for the village, I really can't hear anything that feels 'not simple'.

In fact, if you think about it with your toes, you can tell that as one of the three major horse bandits in Longyou, Zhang Xun must be a figure. But why did Ju Zhisheng specifically point it out? Is there a hidden secret? For a moment, Li Mu even wanted to catch up and ask.

Clearly understood.

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

What's the point? After all, he is his father-in-law. With Zhang Tianai's relationship, Zhang Xun can be regarded as one of his relatives. Just like Bai Nao'er, Li Mu once annoyed him to death and even moved to avoid him.

.But what in the end?

Can I not want my wife? No. Can my daughter deny her father? No! This is a matter that cannot be chosen, but what can be chosen is who is strong and who is weak.

That's how the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law is, whoever is the best has the final say. Li Mu is very awesome now, why doesn't Bai Nao'er serve him like a master? All the problems in the past have been completely changed. Now even if someone takes advantage of it,

A knife was held to his neck and he was told to scold Bai Qiaoqiao or speak ill of his son-in-law, but he would definitely refuse.

To strike iron, you still need to be tough...

Li Mu climbed on the horse and was about to run away when he suddenly saw Eunuch Gao waving his hands with a smile. Li Mu sighed, got off the horse and came to Li Shimin's driver.

"His Majesty."

"Come up here, I have something to ask you."

Li Mu was shocked: "The Emperor's chariot, how dare I..."

"What nonsense!"

Li Mu closed his mouth, grabbed the dragon's head on the shaft, and climbed onto the car. Eunuch Gao waved his hand, and the ceremonial guard started moving slowly.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu coldly and said, "Why haven't I seen you in the palace these days?"

Li Mu looked confused and said: "Your Majesty, you are the one who prevents me from entering the palace. When I took Zheng's mother and daughter out of the palace that day, you sent a decree to tell me to get out of here. Do not enter the palace casually without summoning me...

I only obey His Majesty's will, so I dare not enter the palace."

Li Shimin was suffocated, glared at Li Mu fiercely, and snorted: "Quia! How many days has it been since that happened? How do you know my true feelings? Stop pretending to be stupid. 'General Yunlong' has become very powerful these days."

Ah, you dare to do things like falsely conveying imperial edicts, you really don’t take me seriously!”

When Li Mu heard him mention the words 'General Yunlong', he immediately understood that Li Shimin knew everything and didn't dare to pretend anymore. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your Xu Chen's power to appoint officials of the sixth rank is only one rank short, not much.

Besides, he is not an outsider. The big man is the brother of the minister and the adopted son of the Prince of Hejian. If the Prince of Hejian is only a mere sixth grade, how can the Prince of Hejian find out that your Majesty is cold? I think that I can't let Hejian.

Prince Jian made a bold move and granted him a fifth-grade title. However, I understand your majesty. I will pay for the extra salary from my own pocket..."

"Hmph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly, then changed the topic and said: "Li Mu, I had a sudden idea this morning. You see, you always break the rules, and you can always find some weird truths.

If I don’t deal with you, I feel uncomfortable, but if I deal with you, I feel a little guilty. Let’s do it this way. If you break the rules and don’t punish you in the future, we will fine you. What do you think?”

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu immediately burst into tears and said, "I don't have any money. Didn't I say it in Liangyi Palace? Now I'm bankrupt. Now I'm living in poverty. Now I'm..."

"Stop crying about being poor. Do you think I don't know that you just made a fortune?"

Li Mu's heart suddenly thought, the secret secret was terrible. Are Li Shimin's "secret agents" already so clever? Could it be that he already knew that Ju Zhisheng had sent a thousand pounds of gold and a thousand pounds of silver, and that he had concealed the 90,000 pounds?

Li Shimin saw Li Mu stunned and felt proud. Yuan Tiangang's return was indeed useful. Without him, would he be able to find out the truth?

"No need to guess, I have my own information channel. I already knew last night that you sold Ju Zhisheng's perfume at ten times the price. It's your job to make money, and I won't steal it from you. It's just that you

The matter of building a factory in Dongcheng must be put on the agenda. I have been thinking about it these days and have discussed it with Li Jing, Hou Junji and others. They all think this is a good move. If there can be a factory

Unifying the production of ordnance will definitely save a lot of money, and the sooner this is done, the better."

"Uh..." Li Mu hesitated and refused to answer. Li Shimin looked at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Hehe" Li Mu laughed twice and said: "Your Majesty, the factory can be built. As you said, I have some money in my hand, but there is something I still have to talk about. After the factory is built, production will

The armaments produced cannot be given to the Ministry of War in vain, they must be purchased with money!"

You know that’s what happened!

Li Shimin thought to himself that he had indeed guessed it correctly. But he did not show it, but frowned and said: "I don't understand this. The Ministry of Industry belongs to me, and the Ministry of War also belongs to me. Is it possible that I should take the money from him?"

Should the left hand be given to the right?"

"Your Majesty, that's not how the accounts are settled." Li Mu immediately retorted: "The Ministry of Industry belongs to your Majesty, and the Ministry of War also belongs to your Majesty, but the raw materials required for the production of armaments do not belong to your Majesty, right? Although it is true that the territory within the four seas is not the royal territory, but just by virtue of

Even this sentence can’t be exchanged for ore and leather? Ore needs to be purchased, leather needs to be purchased, and craftsmen have to eat, all of which require money.”

"And in order to improve the quality of ordnance, in addition to the original weapons and armor, there are also people who will research better weapons and armor. For example, Zhuge Liannu, maybe someone can make a better Liannu.

But this all requires time, manpower, and material resources to accumulate, and it still costs money.”

"Money is the motivation for craftsmen to put in effort and hard work. Your Majesty, don't underestimate this motivation. Miracles often happen like this. Moreover, after setting up the factory, the weapons or armor produced will be far lower than the existing ones.

The price is already very cheap." As he spoke, Li Mu's tone changed and he said: "Even if the common people buy things, they all know that they have to pay. Do the people in the Ministry of War think that we, the people in the Ministry of Industry, owe them something? I think so.

Not spending a penny? They are bandits and robbers, planning to rob?"

"It's not that I don't understand this truth..." Li Shimin was puzzled: "But now the country uses money everywhere, and the national treasury is stretched thin. Where can we find the extra money... How about raising funds from within?"

Li Mu secretly cursed, if it came from the internal money, then I would really have taken it from the left pocket to the right pocket. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, do you think the internal money is endless? Even if it is infinite, it will be in the future.

Things. Now everything is just the beginning. Didn't I say that day? It's not time to see the money back yet. If Your Majesty says so, then the factory will not be built. Just pretend that it doesn't happen. What?

Let’s talk about it later when we have money.”

"Why are you so anxious? Didn't I discuss it with you?" Seeing that Li Mu was anxious, Li Shimin quickly pulled back and said, "This is really hopeless. What should you do if the state treasury has no money? We can't follow the example of the previous dynasty and impose excessive taxes.

?How about you give me an idea!"

Oh, this is to throw the ball back. The treasury has no money, and a clever woman can't make a living without rice. There is nothing you can do to measure me, so I have to obey you. You are really looking down on me. Are you trying to embarrass me?

Li Mu calmly said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

Li Shimin was quite surprised: "Do you have any idea?"

Li Mu leaned into Li Shimin's ear and muttered for a while. Li Shimin frowned and said, "Will the three provinces and six ministries start fighting?"

"Your Majesty, just let them fight. It's like living at home. If you don't plan it, you won't even know how much money you spent. If you don't have money, just reach for it. You will always have confidence and never worry about how much it will cost if you continue like this.

Is that possible? It's time to set some rules." After saying that, Li Mu did not forget to give his instructions and said: "I just have an idea, and it is your Majesty who has to make the decision on what to do. But you have to say it up front. If your Majesty does this,

, please don’t say it was your idea.”

"how?"

"It's too offending, I can't afford to offend you."

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "You guys are still afraid? You have tormented the Yushitai so much, who dares to impeach you?"

"Your Majesty, please don't say that!" Li Mu quickly interrupted Li Shimin and said, "Don't you know that although Yushitai was tortured by me, the main force was not damaged. I originally thought that such an investigation would

Except for Wei Zheng, no one could escape. Who would have thought that Wang Jingze turned out to be another Wei Zheng, just like the stones in the latrine, smelly and hard! He and Wei Zheng are the main forces of Yushitai, and neither of them has

Where to start. And other people, after this incident, were severely offended by me. There were a few who were hesitant and did not dare to take it too seriously, but after this incident, they all took the risk. When I got the news, that day

After I finished searching my house, these censors all went to Wang Jingze's home and plotted for a long time. It seemed that they were determined to cause trouble for me. I have been walking on thin ice these days, for fear of being caught by them.

"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said leisurely: "It seems that you are also wearing eyeliner?"

Li Mucha introduced the matter and said: "You can't be careless. I spent a little money to bribe more than 20 old ladies who live near these censors' homes, asking them to pay more attention when they have nothing to do. It is really useful. These old ladies are very well-informed.

!Not only did I learn about their conspiracy, but I also received a lot of other news. A censor named Li had stolen his wife, and a censor named Wang had a secret affair with his sister-in-law.

The nephew is actually his son..."

Li Shimin was stunned: "What the hell is this!"

"Those old ladies passed on the news to me! I plan to publish it in Datang Daily for them, hehe..."
