Li Shimin's carriage came to Dali Temple, and just opened the curtain and was about to get off, when he suddenly hesitated. Because he found that the carriage in front of him was already lined up. As far as the eye can see, at least a dozen carriages have blocked the road.

Li Shimin looked around, yes, this is Dali Temple! But when did Dali Temple become so lively?

Li Shimin called Gonggong Gao over and said, "Go and ask what's going on, why are there so many people?" ”

"No."

Duke Gao took the order and left, and came back after a while, and said, "Your Majesty, these carriages are from the major families. They're here to buy shares. ”

"Stake?" Li Shimin couldn't understand it, and wondered: "What is a shareholding?" ”

Gao Gonggong replied honestly: "I heard that it was made by Zhuluhou, and the old slave didn't understand it too much. ”

"Useless stuff." Li Shimin scolded, got off the carriage, and strode towards Dali Temple. As soon as he took a few steps, several officers jumped out and stopped in the middle of the road, saying, "Didn't you look at such a long line?" Queue up! ”

Gao Gonggong said angrily: "You know who we are, so let us line up?" Let me tell you, our nobles have never lined up! ”

"Phew!" The two officers looked at each other and chuckled disdainfully. looked at the eyes of the two of them, as if to say, 'Look at it, another pretending to be forced'. Gao Gonggong said angrily: "What do you two mean? ”

The messenger who had just spoken hugged his fist and said, "The two nobles are invited, and it is said that you should not be allowed to line up." But these days, that's how we rule here. You see that there is no carriage in front of this, and the smallest one is a county magistrate. Aren't they all obediently queuing? You two, let's line up, we're also for your good. If you cut in line and provoke public anger, you will fight, and you will suffer. ”

When Li Shimin heard the two of them say this, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Gonggong Gao. Gao Gonggong took out the waist card, and when the two servants looked at it, the chief eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Shimin, who was so frightened that his soul was gone, and he 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 hurriedly came over to greet him, and at the same time asked someone to inform Sun Fujia.

Sun Fujia was on duty to entertain guests, but he had been busy for the past few days. He can't afford to offend any of the people who come, so he has to accompany them well. The embarrassing thing is that no one came to look for him, they all came to find Li Mu. But there was no way, when he got to his yamen, he didn't care if he couldn't do it. Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who is good, is stunned to live a life like a restaurant running away.

Hearing that Li Shimin was coming, Sun Fujia hurriedly confessed his guilt and came to the door to greet him. As soon as Sun Fujia bent down, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "The ceremony is waived, tell me what's going on?" ”

Sun Fujia smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have seen that these people are all here to join the shares." ”

"What do you mean by shareholding?"

Sun Fujia hurriedly explained: "It's just like doing business and participating in the business." But it's a little more complicated, and the minister doesn't understand it too much. The day before yesterday, Zhuluhou met Wang Pu, the younger brother of Wang Shizhong, in the afternoon, Sun Chong, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, and in the evening, he met Lang Zhongyu Wengui. The next day, it was announced that three companies had been established, namely Datang Mining, Datang Salt, and Datang Construction. Then came these many people, waiting in line to see the Marquis of Zhulu, and the ministers couldn't figure out the situation. ”

The more Li Shimin listened, the more confused he felt, frowned, and said, "What is he doing now?" ”

"It seems to be seeing Shen Guogong."

"Uncle?" Li Shimin said angrily: "My uncle, come to see him in prison? What's going on! ”

Sun Fujia smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't get excited. As the young secretary of Dali Temple, the minister has something to tell His Majesty. ”

"You say!"

"The minister wants to impeach the Marquis of Lu, and he openly accepts bribes. Also, it also occupies the empty cell of Dali Temple as a warehouse, you will know that the cells of Dali Temple are now full of copper coins. The number is incalculable, and the minister estimates that there must be at least 1230,000 yuan......"

"1230,000 ......" Li Shimin only felt the back of his neck thump, and he rushed up with blood. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked in the direction of the prison. Sun Fujia and Gao Gonggong hurriedly followed, and when the three of them entered the cell, they heard Li Mu's voice: "...... Old man, I'm not joking with you, less than 10,000, forgive me for not serving. I didn't tell you either, look at this ledger, how can one of them be less than 10,000? Our rules are clearly written, more shares, more dividends, less shares, and less dividends. How much money can you share for thousands of dollars? I still have to arrange an account room for you, I really can't do it! Datang Salt Industry, with a registered capital of one million guan, such a big deal, your high status, you will be out of eight thousand, tsk...... It's hard to say! ”

"Li Mu boy! Didn't you say that day, there are benefits for the old man. The old man believed your words and waited for you for many days. What are you waiting for? The old man is not waiting for any benefit now, you are good, but you are looking for the old man to ask for money...... Does that make sense? ”

"Old man, this is a conscience. I mean, I'll give you a favor. You see, there are now three companies. Datang Salt, Datang Mining, Datang Construction, right? Originally, according to my arrangement, Datang Mining, only Qinghe Cui's, Zhaojun Li's, and Taiyuan Wang's three families could be shared, Datang Salt Industry, only Longyou nobles could be shared, and Datang Jianye would not accept shares for the time being. But for you, the old man, you can buy shares in the three companies at will. What a benefit! Others only have one hen that lays golden eggs, you can have three, and as long as you boldly invest money, the return is three times that of others. It's not a good thing, you tell me, what is a good thing? ”

Gao Shilian was a little anxious, and said: "You can't let the old man not pay for it, you give me some shares......

Li Mu slapped the table with a snap and said, "Old Guogong! You're too thick-skinned, aren't you? Can't I let you take a stake? Didn't you see the carriage lined up outside when you came? They all want to buy shares but can't get in! Are you not satisfied with comparing yourself to them? How can there be food in the world that doesn't cost money? Eating food that doesn't cost money is something that beggars do. Old man, you are a person of status, why do you insist on being compared to beggars? ”

When Li Shimin heard this, his heart suddenly struck. He knew Gao Shilian's temper too well, and he started a fire, except for Li Yuan who didn't dare to scold, there was nothing he didn't dare to scold, it seemed that Li Mu was about to be scolded, somehow, Li Shimin actually felt a little dark in his heart.

But what Gao Shilian said next surprised him.

"Okay, okay, the old man can't tell you. Shared, I entered. Three companies, 10,000 each! ”

"Okay!" Li Mu said, and said to the lonely nine next to him: "Little brother, give the old country a record, the three companies are 10,000 yuan each." Seeing that Dugu Jiu had written the voucher, Li Mu said to Gao Shilian again: "Lao Guogong, the words are in front, the number is limited, there is a limited date on this voucher, if the time comes, the money is not in place, and the shares are not necessarily yours." That's the rule, even if Your Majesty comes, there is no face! ”

"Here you go!" Gao Shilian took the ticket and said through gritted teeth.

At this time, Li Shimin couldn't help it anymore and walked to the front of the prison door. Li Mu was keeping accounts with a smile, and suddenly saw Li Shimin, quickly put away his smile, and saluted honestly: "See Your Majesty." ”

Gao Shilian turned around and saw Li Shimin, made a dow, and said hatefully: "Your Majesty, your good courtier!" ”

Li Shimin said embarrassedly: "Uncle, don't be angry...... Li Mu! What's going on! How can you be so disrespectful to my uncle? ”

Li Mu was expressionless and said, "Your Majesty, you are talking about business." If the old prince is unwilling, the minister can't force him. Now you can also regret it and ask the old man to return the ticket to me, as long as it didn't happen. ”

"Uncle......

"Don't think!" Gao Shilian said angrily: "The old man took so much effort to get the ticket, and return it?" Give me back the shares you give me? Do not say! The old man went home to raise money, alas! ”

Gao Shilian sighed and left, and Li Mu shouted at the top of his voice: "Old Guogong, I forgot to say, do you want an office?" Look at your face, the same price, you can choose as you like, others can only be numbered! ”

"The old man doesn't need it!"

Gao Shilian's voice came from afar, and the person had already gone out.

Li Shimin stared at Li Mu, Li Mu noticed the gaze and shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"

Li Mu bowed and saluted, "The minister wants to congratulate Your Majesty!" ”

"But I don't know, why should I be happy?"

"Your Majesty, in just three days, the minister has earned ...... for Your Majesty" Li Mu glanced at the account book and said, "I earned 1.72 million yuan for Your Majesty." ”

"How much?" Li Shimin thought he was hallucinating, and said, "Say it again, how much?" ”

"One million and seven hundred and twenty thousand."

Suddenly, the sound of three cold breaths sounded, Li Shimin waved his hand, Gao Gonggong took Sun Fujia, and glanced at Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu, the two of them didn't understand the meaning, and were dragged out by Gao Gonggong one by one.

The prison 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, "You say it again, how much money did you make?" ”

"I've already said it twice! One million 720,000 yuan, and when the ministers send out all the shares, 2 million yuan will be in hand. ”

Li Shimin took a few deep breaths before calming down. He motioned to Li Mu, and both of them sat down. Now in this cell, there are not only beds, but also tables and chairs, and where is still a cell, it is like a lobby.

Li Shimin originally wanted to find fault, but in the face of millions of dollars, it was obviously not a matter.

"Aiqing," Li Shimin stared at Li Mu, his face full of spring breeze, and he was very kind: "Tell me quickly, how did you make this money?" ”

"This money, is it ......" Li Mu was about to say, but suddenly paused, changed his face to sadness, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's little trick is not worth mentioning. Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of sin, and he does not dare to say anything, and the minister has not seen his family for several days, and he misses it in his heart, and his worries become sick......"

Knowing that he had to come to this set, Li Shimin said angrily: "I don't need you to write an excerpt, can you say it?" ”

"Okay!"
