took Ma Zhou back to the side courtyard and arranged a place for him to live, and the day's affairs were over.

Ten days have passed, and the Ice Control Division has finally embarked on the right track under Ma Zhou's arrangement, Li Chengyang took Ma Zhou to mix up in front of Li Shimin, which made the young man grateful, and went out before dawn every day, until Li Chengyang fell asleep and no one came back.

In addition to occasionally listening to the progress of the Ice Control Division, Li Chengyang also presided over the opening of a fan shop directly under the Ice Control Division in Dongshi, called Qingfeng Attack, and the inscription "For the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Industry specially donated", how can the affairs of the Ministry of Industry be said to be a business business? This is to contribute to Datang, and those in need only need to pay the price of ten times to get the equipment developed by the Ministry of Industry, and the customers are really making a lot of money.

On the first day of opening, Lao Cheng came to the door in person and donated a full hundred pieces of silver to Datang, there were too many people in his family, large and small stewards, his own wife, and a concubine, children, just ten sets were really not enough, the youngest Cheng in the family had already looked for Cui's several times, just to ask for a fan to cool off.

Hearing that Li Chengyang's breeze was opened, Cui's family, who had long been annoyed, immediately asked Lao Cheng to go in person, and by the way, he gave His Royal Highness King Qin a cheer and continued to make friends.

Not only Lao Cheng, but also the eldest grandson Wuji, who didn't know where to get the news, also sent someone to buy ten units, his family was small, and the royal family Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and others also sent people to create momentum for the Ministry of Industry.

Fortunately, Li Chengyang didn't want to make money for himself with the fan, so he put everything in the Ministry of Industry, otherwise these people would not be able to see any of them, and they have to say the importance of the name.

The original five craftsmen who made fans chose a few craftsmen to do it together, and the blacksmiths were a lot more than carpenters, and they all left the Ministry of Industry under the arrangement of Wu Li and joined the Ice Control Division.

Although the vast majority of people are frightened by the huge amount, there are also many people who are not bad for that little money, or slap a swollen face and become fat, in order to treat the prince and the prince of the country and lose all their private money, they have made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

In general, everything is going well, Ma Zhou is in charge of the ice control is also in full swing, because of the dense population of Chang'an, I have to recruit another group of displaced people, three dollars a day plus a meal to serve, the ice is not free, but a penny is enough for a family to use for a full day, for a time, countless people blocked the door of the ice control department waiting to buy ice.

The thing has been done, and all that remains is to check and fill in the gaps, lack of people to find people, lack of money, not lack of money, no business.

Li Chengyang is taking Li Shi to wander around in the East Market, he is afraid that someone will start to imitate the fan and sell it, not that he is unwilling, after this period of time, the Ice Control Division is completely self-sufficient, as for the Ministry of Industry, it can still be done with an idea, but at the moment no one dares to imitate, all the operation in the division is counting on the fan.

"When will I put forward the idea of patent protection, otherwise wouldn't anyone who sees my baby fan can do it, this is all robbing me of money" complained to Li Shi, and the patent law has to be said to be really a good thing.

Li Shi looked at Li Chengyang in a daze, she couldn't understand a word of the words that came out of his mouth, and when she understood the last sentence, she gritted her teeth, and her eyes flashed with danger: "Whoever robs the young master, I will kill him."

touched Li Shi's head: "You know what you kill, kill, what do you know besides killing, I am kind-hearted young master, or if you let people sell it in the future, will you still have to help people make money?" ”。

Li Shi was about to defend something, Teng Tengteng came from the front of the dense footsteps, several big internal guards surrounded a small eunuch looking for something, saw Li Chengyang's figure, a guard dragged the little eunuch, and then several people came to Li Chengyang together, the eunuch leaned in front of Li Chengyang, and gestured to Li Chengyang to go over.

"No, just say it here, there is no one around" Before the little eunuch got closer, a strange smell came, and Li Chengyang hurriedly refused.

Where did the eunuch dare to follow Li Chengyang's intentions, how could outsiders listen to the things in the palace, this should let people know that he was afraid that he would be dismantled, and took two steps in the direction of Li Chengyang, but was forced back by Li Shi waving a dagger, and in desperation, he borrowed a pen and paper from a scholar who sold paintings on the side, wrote a note and handed it to Li Chengyang.

"The prince is in a hurry, and now he is very angry, King Qin must not take it seriously."

The words written on the note made Li Chengyang stunned, he only asked Li Shimin for peace last night, and he didn't see anything going on, why did he rush to go early this morning? Still angry? What's going on?

didn't care about much, pulled up Li Shi and signaled the guards to open the way, and on the way back, he saw several groups of people returning one after another, and it seemed that they were all looking for him, what happened to make Li Shimin so anxious?

Quicken the pace and rush all the way to the East Palace, and before entering Li Shimin's study, he heard Li Shimin's angry shouting: "It's all the opposite, isn't it, everyone is a fool, his mother!" His mother! ”。

The nervous Li Chengyang didn't wait for anyone to report and went straight in, he entered Li Shimin's study and rarely let people pass it on, and the family had to look like a family, this was what he said to Li Shimin when he broke in for the first time, and Li Shimin didn't say anything, and he won't emphasize this matter anymore in the future.

As soon as I stepped into the study, I saw that the ground was full of messes, and there were some smashed cups on them, and the oil lamps in the corners had been touched, and a lot of them had been lit.

hurriedly extinguished the fire, and then looked at Li Shimin carefully, only to see that Li Shimin's face was flushed, and the bloodshot in his eyes was dense, which was better than his eyes in his previous life when he stayed up for two all-nighters.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Who made you so angry, tell me, I'll beat him to death for you" Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, Li Chengyang was also a little infected, after all, it was his biological father.

"You're here, just right, look at these twists and turns, these brutes, traitors, think I'm a fool? Ahh

Li Chengyang picked up the folds, looked at them roughly, cut out the messy system terms, and finally saw that they were all excerpts from taxes from all over the world, and he didn't see any problems when he looked left and right, and looked through a bunch of old folds, and found the folds from the same place, and only after comparing them did he understand the reason for Li Shimin's anger.

It's just a year, the tax revenue of this place is nearly one percent less, it stands to reason that the Wude years are getting better and better, the population has grown greatly, and God is also very face-saving, not to mention how big the disaster, at least each place has not suffered too much impact, the tax should be more and more, how can it be less and less year by year?

I picked up a few more copies and compared them, and found that most of the taxes in the southern region were somewhat reduced, with a maximum of 30% and a minimum of 10%, no wonder Li Shimin was so angry.

Who is the Southern majority? Needless to say, the Saga! I don't know why, the families also affected the government, and it goes without saying that the reduced tax is in whose hands.

"Daddy? What's going on? Why are they so blatant, aren't they afraid that someone will ask for their guilt? ”。

"This is also the reason why Lone is angry, the eldest brother they support is gone, they are demonstrating to me, you look at the time of the fold, the fold will be handed in at the end of next year, and now it is so much, it is clear to tell Lone, their influence, what makes Lone angry the most is that this is a clear problem, the household department can't find out, everything is normal, Lone is raising a group of waste! It's all rubbish! ”。

It turned out to be the fangs leaking out of the family, which seemed to be expressing an attitude to Li Shimin, showing their influence, so that Li Shimin had to be afraid of them, and it was clear that the carriage and horses forced Li Shimin to recognize the status of the family.

It's no wonder that Li Shimin is so angry, not long after he became the prince, someone united nearly half of the officials of the Tang Dynasty to put pressure on him, and his own side didn't even have the ability to fight back, let alone the prince, even an ordinary person couldn't bear it.

Li Chengyang followed "his mother" for a long time, and Li Shimin's anger gradually subsided.

"I've heard about your Ice Control Division, it's done well, now the shelf has been set up, and I think the ability of the one named Ma Zhou is also good, didn't he have an official body, give him a water department member Wailang, let him manage the Ice Control Division well, you won't be dissatisfied with the official body of Liupin, right?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, Dad, you still love him, I thank you for him, but Ma Zhou is fine, so what am I going to do? Am I, the left waiter? "Facing Li Shimin, who is angry, he doesn't dare to say much, just go with it, Ma Zhouchao is his ability, it's gratifying, but I don't know where he, the former chief officer of the Ice Control Division, is going.

"Don't go to the Ministry of Industry, I have also seen your ability, it's okay" Li Shimin touched the beard he had just grown, and then said: "You go to the Ministry of Households, give you the official position of a squire in the Ministry of Households, and you don't do anything there, see more and talk less."

Li Shimin suspected that it was not that the household department could not find out the tax revenue, but that someone was obstructing it, and he didn't want him to know, so he had to send a close person to supervise, look around, and let him absolutely trust that the eldest grandson is the children, Li Chengyang, as the boss with some ability, is the best.

As soon as he heard that he didn't have to do anything, Li Chengyang was happy, the Ice Division Youma Zhou was very relieved in him, the Ministry of Industry could also improve the treatment of the Ministry of Industry with a basic income, the fan matter has passed, there are more things waiting for them, and the current Ministry of Industry has almost become Li Chengyang's hall, even if he leaves, it is not a big problem.

"Daddy? Are you going to re-check your accounts? Can you figure this out? If this is found out, surely there will be no shortage of people who are planted in it? Asked tentatively, if Li Shimin was ruthless, then the Tang Dynasty would not be separated and collapsed in an instant.

Li Shimin also knew the Tao here, and replied hatefully, I knew it, and then touched the beard that pierced his hand in a daze.

After a long time, he put down his hand, and his tone softened: "Check it or check it first, whether it comes out or not, you can't let people look at it, just watch it there, and if you find someone abnormal, call your secret guard to investigate, report it to me at any time, and don't act rashly no matter what you find."

Hearing this, he agreed, and accompanied Li Shimin for a long time, and waited until the eldest grandson came, which was regarded as getting out and returning to the side courtyard, and the little eunuch behind him put down his official uniform and left, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, tsk, Lao Tzu saved the entire Tang Dynasty just now.
