is worthy of being an elder brother, and he has already begun to plan for his sister, but the key people reprimand him for being qualified, and it makes sense for his uncle to teach his brother-in-law this kind of thing wherever it is, since ancient times, it has always been like this.

I saw that Li Shimin seemed to be unsatisfied, and said: "If you have your own ability, if you want to do good, no one will come to you, but if you look at what you are doing now, which one is doing it with your ability?" The grain was obtained by relying on the prestige of the Women's Army, and the land was also recovered by relying on the prestige of the Women's Army. Even the broth you cooked for the children, the yellow sheep used were also the prey of the women's army, I heard that those yellow sheep were because Zhao Ning wanted you to eat meat, so she gave up her face and asked her best friend for help, but you lived up to Zhao Ning's hard work and gave all those yellow sheep to the children to eat......

He paused here, and then said: "It is indeed a good thing to do good, but you are not capable of doing so, think about it yourself, what is the point of this matter that depends on your ability?" ”

This tirade, with earnest teachings in and out of the words, although it seems like a reprimand, it is sincere.

Gu Tianya is not a fool, he can feel Li Er's sincerity, and because of this, he accepts it humbly.

But he is not a submissive person, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to defend: "I am not useless, I have been working hard, I have made five kilns, I can burn red bricks every day, roughly calculated a day's profit, about three or four hundred Wen, such a profit is very good, has been better than many families in Hebei Province." ”

"Where's the money?" Li Shimin didn't give him face at all, and suddenly asked: "Since you have made a profit of three or four hundred wen a day, let me ask where the money went?" ”

Gu Tianya was embarrassed for a moment, and said a little helplessly: "It's spent." ”

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and for some reason suddenly seemed to sigh, and said: "The people of Hebei Province are indeed extremely pitiful, you spend that money on the children, which is a great act of kindness, the reason why I am dissatisfied with you is because you are too tired to do this, your shoulders are too narrow, your strength is too weak, if you can't get rid of the problem of soft-heartedness, you are afraid that you will have a hard time living in this life." ”

Gu Tianya nodded with a sympathetic expression, but he quickly shook his head again, his eyes turned to those children, as if he had a feeling, and said: "I have been hungry, hungry for more than ten years, I once fainted on the streets in the heavy snow winter, if no one helped me, I am afraid I would have died." I once had a cold winter and hunger, lying on top of the big tree and gnawing on the bark, the bark was very hard, my teeth were bleeding, and I was shivering in pain, but I continued to lie on the tree and gnaw, because then I knew that if I didn't gnaw on the bark, I would starve to death. ”

He stopped slowly at this point, looked at those children softly, and said: "These children you are talking about, they are like me every winter, they have to gnaw the bark of trees in order to survive, people are born in the middle of the river at the end of the troubled times, it is really very bitter, it is really difficult......

When these words were spoken, Zhao Ning's eyes were red when he heard it, and the eldest grandson princess also had a sour nose, and couldn't help but say loudly: "I didn't expect Brother Gu to suffer so many crimes. ”

Even Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang were touched, and they sighed softly with sympathy.

Li Shimin was also unbearable, but he forcibly suppressed it.

Gu Tianya's eyes continued to stare at those children, as if muttering: "I also know that doing good deeds is very tiring, and I know the truth that emergency cannot help the poor, there are too many poor people in the world, it is not for me Gu Tianya to save alone......"

Li Shimin nodded, and couldn't help but say, "This is what the imperial court should do." ”

said and hesitated slightly, and suddenly his tone was slightly bitter, and he said: "Even if the court does it, it may not be able to do it well." There are too many poor people in the world. ”

"Yes! The imperial court may not be able to do a good job. ”

Gu Tianya sighed and nodded sympathetically, but he suddenly looked up at the sky and spit out a sentence gently, as if laughing at himself: "Even if it's so difficult, I still want to try, I see them starving like me, and I can't help but want to do something, so those yellow mutton soup can be regarded as my debt borrowed from Zhaoning, and when I make money in the future, I will pay it back......"

Zhao Ning suddenly cried, rushed over and hugged his arm, and said, "You don't need to pay it back, you don't need to pay it back, as long as you are willing, I will let people help you hunt yellow sheep every day." Tianya, don't scare me, your tone makes me very scared when I hear it. ”

While crying, he suddenly looked at Li Shimin fiercely and said angrily: "Second brother, what do you want to do?" Why do you deliberately use words to beat his sourness? If you dare to do this again, our brother and sister will never have anything to do with each other. ”

Under her furious and furious, she burst out of her original temperament, such a fierce determination, even Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang couldn't help but tremble.

Only Li Shimin's face did not change, but continued to grasp Gu Tianya's words just now, and suddenly snorted softly: "Okay, this matter is settled." You can continue to do good, the sheep and the grain are considered to have borrowed my sister's debt. When you earn the money, you have to pay her back the debt. ”

Zhao Ning was even more furious, almost rushing fiercely.

Gu Tianya grabbed her arm hard, turned his head to look at Li Shimin and nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay!" ”

It was an agreement between two men.

One is the first prince in the world, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty known to later generations.

One is from a muddy leg, and he can only eat soft rice for the time being.

The two are very different from each other in terms of identity and status, but they can make an agreement solemnly with each other, Zhao Ning cried angrily, but Li Shimin was very pleased.

Only he, as an elder brother, knows that he has helped his sister get through.

He suddenly spoke again, looked at Gu Tianya and said: "Since you have set your ambition to make money, then now is an opportunity, I heard that you have made a kind of stainless steel, which can make elite horizontal knives and various sharp weapons, but you are limited by your background and financial resources, you can't expand this industry, even if you have the ability to expand, it will attract great covetousness, even if you have the women's army to help you back, but those who covet it still dare to reach out to you, so for the sake of safety, you must share this industry with a profit from others." ”

Gu Tianya seemed to be stunned, his eyes looked at Li Shimin, he seemed to hesitate in his heart, but he quickly made a decision, and nodded solemnly: "What you said is right, this matter will indeed put me under great pressure." Fortunately at the moment, the reputation of stainless steel has not yet been beaten, and the scale is not large, so it will not attract much coveting for the time being, but as time goes by, the coveting will inevitably come. So you're right, I really should share in the profits. ”

Li Shimin suddenly took two steps forward, and said with blazing eyes: "As the second brother of Zhaoning, our family does not talk about two words, your steel industry, I have the heart to take it, this matter has two major benefits, with your wisdom should be able to guess, first, after I take it, I can help you share those coveting, and secondly, I will not have a conflict of interest with you in running this industry." ”

Gu Tianya nodded, and said with an approving expression: "And if the steel secret recipe is obtained by others, those people will definitely not allow me to continue to do it." ”

Li Shimin laughed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then, you are willing to sell me a copy of the secret recipe!" ”

Uncle and brother-in-law suddenly talked about business, Fang Cai still had a cold face, and they talked happily in a blink of an eye, this turn of events was too abrupt, and Zhao Ning and the others who saw it were all stunned.

Zhao Ning couldn't help wiping a handful of tears, stomped his feet and said, "I cried in vain, second brother, you are really not a good person." And you, you're a big bad guy too......"

The eldest grandson next to her pulled her away and whispered comfortingly: "Our female relatives don't get involved in the affairs of their men's family, otherwise they will be worried all day long, this kind of life is not a human life." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Ning to the side and whispered his own words.

Li Shimin glanced at his sister, his face was a little hesitant for some reason, and then he turned back to look at Gu Tianya, and said helplessly: "Originally, according to my plan, I was going to make a price down with you, but for the sake of Zhaoning's face, I, as an elder brother, can't make her feel cold......"

After a pause, he followed closely: "One price, five hundred yuan." Your steel secret recipe will be my share from now on. You should be able to understand that the price I offer is not just money. ”

Five hundred, not much.

But it's not less.

The iron industry can make millions of profits at best, but at the same time, it also has risks, which may lead to death at any time.

Therefore, buying a secret recipe for 500 guan is not a price without conscience.

Gu Tianya nodded, as if he approved Li Shimin's proposal, and said: "Zhaoning said, you are from a wealthy family, since you are from a wealthy family, you must have the strength to run the iron industry, you can help me share the coveting, it is indeed for the sake of family affection, otherwise you will directly take it, and you don't have to pay the price of half a penny." ”

Li Shimin said 'um' and said: "I really look at Zhaoning's face, otherwise I will really take it by force." ”

"So, I should be grateful!" Gu Tianya didn't know why, and suddenly laughed.

He looked up at the sky suddenly, and then said, "But I'm a little unwilling. Second Brother Li, you should be able to understand, how profitable this steel industry is, this is something that my father has studied all his life, and it is an inheritance left to me, if I sell it like this, I will feel very guilty about my father......"

Li Shimin frowned, couldn't guess what he meant, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?" ”

But seeing Gu Tianya's eyes looking at him, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "You have to add money." ”
