"Alas..." Li Shimin sighed again, raised his hand, took Li Zhi from the hand of the female officer who was holding him, and shook him in her arms, making the little guy giggle.
"These rebellious sons, when they were young, they called their father "Father". After they grew up a little, they went to pursue their ambitions. Child slave, your two brothers, your father has no hope. When you grow up,
But you have to listen to your father, and you can’t mess with that bastard Li Mu anymore, do you hear me?”
Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty, this young slave is only two years old and can't understand."
Li Zhi chuckled, looking silly, which made Li Shimin happy. He picked up Li Zhi and put it on his unshaven face. The stubble stung his face, and Li Zhi cried.
When he got up, the female officer quickly picked him up and reported him to the side to coax him.
"Gao Gan, who are the people you sent to protect the King of Yue?"
Eunuch Gao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am from Dongchang."
"Dongchang?" Li Shimin asked in confusion: "Which Dongchang?"
"Your Majesty, why have you forgotten that the Marquis of Zhulu sent a petition years ago, saying that someone was spying on the secrets of the Xicheng factory and that he wanted to set up factory guards. You rejected his request and instead asked the old slave to mobilize the redundant manpower in the palace and set up a police station.
Factory. The Police Factory in Xicheng is called Xichang, and Dongchang is the people from Dongji Factory. When we investigated the identity of the assassin a few days ago, the factory guards also contributed."
"Oh," Li Shimin nodded and said, "I remembered it, but this happened. I happened to mention it, so I asked a few more questions. Li Mu said that he was building an arsenal in Dongcheng. How was it going? I haven't given any supervision for many days.
, was he negligent? I vaguely remember that he said several times that he had no money."
"I don't know whether I'm short of money or not, but I've been to the East Factory many times because of the incident at the Prosecution Factory. Now the East Factory is under rapid construction and its scale is already comparable to that of the West Factory. I heard from the foreman that before the Spring Festival, it will be almost the same.
It will be completed soon, and they will be transferred to the next place soon. From the looks of it, there should be no shortage of money."
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Then Li Mu complained that he was short of money." He looked at Queen Changsun and said, "Has the Queen seen the account book of the internal funds? Is there any expenditure?"
Empress Changsun shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, since Li Mu took over the internal funds, the internal funds' accounts have only been incomings and no outgoings. Nowadays, apart from the expenses of the palace, there is nothing extra in the internal funds. I also see this.
Under such circumstances, the fee was gradually relaxed."
Li Shimin sighed and said: "The money must have come from somewhere, either from internal funds or from Li Mu himself..." He sighed and said, "I really feel uncomfortable. Such a large court cannot make ends meet, and it depends on just one Li Mu."
Hold on, I'm afraid I can't even calculate how much money I owe him now."
Empress Changsun squeaked and then closed her mouth. Li Shimin saw her look and said, "If you have something to say, the empress can say it. Is there anything we can't say between you and me?"
"Your Majesty, I am not supposed to comment on government affairs, but I still want to say something to Your Majesty. It would be nice for Your Majesty to listen to it. I feel that since Your Majesty came to the throne, you have been light on corvee and low taxes, and even in wars, you have not collected taxes from the people.
We would rather rely on internal funds to support excess taxes. Under such circumstances, we still cannot make ends meet, which illustrates a problem, that is, the taxes that should be collected have not been collected."
"Li Mu came to Chang'an for half a year. According to him, he made millions of dollars. This also illustrates a problem. There is still money in the market. Otherwise, how would Li Mu make money? He did not take advantage of others. Combining these two things,
We can draw a conclusion that it’s not that there is no money, but who has the money.”
"To put it shabbily, before Li Mu came, the income of the internal funds for a year was probably not as much as that of a more powerful person. This is too unreasonable, so Li Mu proposed restructuring, and I supported it in my heart. I guess Li Mu
I also thought in my heart that if the system is not reformed, the imperial court may never make ends meet."
Li Shimin sighed and said, "I understand what the queen means. I'm just worried that Li Mu's method is not safe and may cause a big mess."
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Li Mu may be a little too young, but when it comes to the ability to make money, I can't think of anyone I know who can compare with him. Whether his method is safe or not, I can't.
Judgment, but I can be sure that if Li Mu’s method is followed, the taxes collected by the court will be several times that of before.”
"That's true..." Li Shimin thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Then I'll wait and see what happens and see the effect! Ever since Li Mu came to Chang'an, I haven't been able to rest for a day. That's all, I have nothing to do today.
, let’s go out for a walk, take Zinnu with us, and go shopping in the East Market.”
Eunuch Gao was very happy and said: "Your Majesty, you want to see how the construction of the East Factory is going, right?"
"You're the only one who talks too much!" Li Shimin made a cold face and said, "I'm just going for a walk with the Queen to buy some things. What does it have to do with Dongchang? I'm going to leave after drinking the lotus seed soup, why don't you go get ready?"
"Old slave, let's go now."
…
valley.
"The Master said: "Learn and practice it from time to time. Isn't it great to have friends coming from afar?"
Qin Huaidao carried a copy of "The Analects" behind his back and was reciting it loudly. Li Mu was lying on the rocking chair with the spout of the teapot in his mouth. He held a book in his left hand and a small whip in his right hand. When he heard Qin Huaidao,
If the back is not carried correctly, or if something gets stuck somewhere, he will slap his hand with a whip. Even if it hurts, it still hurts a little, and Qin Huaidao will be beaten until he grins.
Qin Huaidao was very depressed and suffered a big blow. It was also an endorsement, and Li Mu could read ten lines at a time and had a photographic memory. When he came to him, he could memorize a few chapters in a day, which was considered good, and there were occasional mistakes.
He really couldn't understand how Li Mu's head looked like. How could anyone memorize it after just reading it once?
Not to mention that he didn't know about this problem, Li Mu had just learned about it. When he was studying the system recently, he discovered another underlying function of the system. After the system used the brain to simulate the route of practicing Qigong on the CPU, he discovered the second
The underlying function is that he can "store" information in his head, just like typing on a computer and saving it as text.
For example, if he reads "The Analects of Confucius", as long as he reads it word for word, his brain will store the "Analects of Confucius". When he needs to use it, he can directly call it, and it will definitely be word for word.
In this way, it is natural to have a photographic memory. Recently, when he had nothing to do, he found books to "record". This process was tedious and a bit boring, so he called Qin Huaidao and asked him to be a "study boy".
.By the way, I also fulfill my obligation as a master. After accepting a disciple, I have to teach something.
