Li Mu was not in a hurry to say, first took a sip of wine, then sighed, and saw that Li Xiaogong was a little anxious, so he spoke: "The king of the county is well-informed, and he knows that the kid is on the orders of His Majesty, running a business, and filling his internal pockets. It seems to have granted great authority, but in fact it is full of constraints. There is a royal history named Wang Jingze, and when he is not in a bad time, he will beat me up, so that I don't have to worry about it! ”

Li Xiaogong frowned and said: "What do you do to tell me, I don't care about the affairs of the court for a long time, and it's useless for you to tell me." ”

"The county king misunderstood, just complained to the county king." Then, Li Mu continued: "Let's just say that this business can't be done by competing with the people, and you have to pay taxes and fees." You are well-informed, and you should know. This business, there are just a few things, food, clothing, housing and transportation, that's all. If you can't compete with the people, then with whom? Could it be the nobles, the family, and the gate lords? ”

"It's hard!" Li Mu sighed again and said, "That's me, talented, talented, ......."

Li Xiaogong understood, this kid was not out of line, but was bragging about himself in a different way, and said angrily: "I don't have time to listen to your bragging, what the hell is going on, hurry up!" ”

"Why is the king so impatient?" Li Mu shook his head, seeing that his face was flushed, and secretly said that he didn't care about this drunk person, and said: "Filling the internal treasury is nothing more than the four words of open source and throttling. Therefore, after the establishment of the Internal Affairs Office, I found more than 20 accounting offices, turned out all the expenditure books in the palace, and reconciled them one by one. ”

"Huh!" Li Xiaogong laughed and said, "You're not afraid of offending people, this kind of account, you don't need to check it to know what it looks like, what can you see?" ”

"Hey, don't say that, you really see something."

Li Xiaogong raised his eyelids and said, "What do you see?" ”

"The palace teaching department is very expensive."

When Li Xiaogong heard this, he was happy and said, "Boy, you don't joke with me, what is the place of the Teaching Workshop Division, don't you know?" ”

Li Mu was serious and said: "Of course I know that there is a canon system, and the Teaching Department specializes in managing the teaching and performance of court folk music. That's where the problem arose, and I checked the records. Your Majesty has only sacrificed to the Taimiao Temple on the birthday of the Emperor Taishang, His Majesty's birthday, and the Queen's birthday for a whole year this year, and has used the music and dance of the Jiaofang Division. Apart from these four times, there is no record of anything related to the palace. On the contrary, the emperors, nobles, officials, etc., frequently called the servants of the Jiaofang Department to the palace. In other words, it is the money from the internal treasury that raises singing and dancing prostitutes for these royal relatives, nobles, and officials. These people seem to regard the Teaching Workshop Division as a Pingkang Fang, and they don't cost money! ”

Li Xiaogong heard something meaning, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Li Mu, and said, "Boy, do you really not understand, or do you deliberately pretend to ...... The Teaching Department is also called an official prostitute, and there has been a practice in the previous dynasty, and it is such a thing-"

"No!" Li Mu Zhengse said: "The king of the county is bad, the previous dynasty is the previous dynasty, and now is the present." Emperor Yang of the former dynasty was unkind, so the teaching workshop was reduced to an official prostitute. He also got the retribution he deserved, and buried thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. And now, His Majesty is sage, diligent and thrifty, and has changed the extravagant style of the previous dynasty. Let me ask, Your Majesty does not pay attention to singing, dancing and feasting, but the courtiers sing and sing every night, is this reasonable? ”

Li Xiaogong was displeased, and said: "According to what you say, this king is also singing every night, so am I not the same?" ”

"No, no, no." Li Mu waved his hand again and again, and said, "There is an essential difference between the county king and those small people. The kid dared to ask, the king of the county went to Chunfeng Tower, did he give money? ”

"Naturally, I want to give!" Li Xiaogong blushed and said: "When did this king send money, he gave a reward, it was all a silver ingot!" ”

"The prince of the county is magnificent!" Li Mu praised and said, "Isn't this it, the king of the county, and the prostitute still gives money." And these shameless young people, they are reluctant to spend money on prostitution, and they take advantage of the palace, are they still human? Your Majesty is your brother, aren't you angry at all after suffering such a big loss? ”

"......" Li Xiaogong's brows tightened, and he suddenly found that he was still being rounded into the pit by Li Mu. It is a recognized unspoken rule that the Jiaofang Division is an official prostitute, and there is no need to argue with the fact that there is no need to argue. But Li Mu said that it was the little ones who took advantage of His Majesty. He asked him again if he was angry as a brother.

angry, he will be dragged into the water. Not angry? As the king of the county, if you don't have the same heart as Your Majesty, isn't that death?

Li Xiaogong hated the root of his teeth, glared at Li Mu fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "This king is naturally angry!" What can I do? You can't kill everyone! ”

"There's a way!" Li Mu slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "In order to rectify this unhealthy trend, it is also for the interests of His Majesty not to be harmed." As the Minister in Charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I am planning a big thing! I am going to reform the Department of Education and Workshops to put an end to this kind of 'official prostitution' once and for all. In the future, the Workshop Division will be a pure place, and no one will be allowed to defile it! ”

"......" Li Xiaogong looked at Li Mu like a fool and said, "Boy, are you drunk?" How can you talk some nonsense, do you know how many people there are in the Teaching Division? Do you know how many people are involved behind this? How many people have a good relationship in the Workshop Division? Yes, you are now deeply favored by His Majesty, and no one dares to provoke you easily. But if you want to provoke public outrage, the situation is different. A wise person must know how to advance and retreat, and be wise to protect himself. You cause trouble all day long, do you think you have a long life? ”

"Thank you for thinking about me." Li Mu thanked him first, picked up the wine jug and filled it for Li Xiaogong. Listening to this old boy's words, the logic was clear and thorough, and he still didn't drink too much. This fools people, it's best to drink too much, Li Mu hurriedly persuaded him to drink, Li Xiaogong shook his head and sighed, and drank another cup.

Li Mu continued: "The kid has thought about the consequences, this is like Dayu controlling the water. It is not possible to directly block the river, it is necessary to open up branches and disperse the flow of water. Therefore, the kid thought of opening a green building. ”

The strength of the wine is a little higher, and Li Xiaogong's thinking is starting to slow down. He furrowed his brow and brushed it again from beginning to end. This matter should be like this, Li Mu wants to reform the Department of Teaching and Workshop and cancel the official prostitutes. But he himself knew that the noble officials of the Manchu Dynasty all had good relations in the Jiaofang Division. He didn't dare to cut it all, so he planned to open a green building......

"You want to make money!"

"Yes!" Li Mu slapped his face and said, "It's just to make money!" Instead of letting them play for nothing, it is better to earn a little money. I have already thought about it, the Qinglou I opened, whether it is scale or quality, must be the best in Chang'an - no, it is the best in the Tang Dynasty and the best in the world! Our service tenet is to give guests a fairy-like consumer experience. You think of it, I'll give it to you. If you can't think of it, I'll show you. Like innocence and innocence, like spicy and spicy, as long as you spend money, all requirements are met. ”

Li Xiaogong was silent, he was imagining Li Mu's words. If there is really such a green house, he must be the first guest, a fairy-like experience, exciting to think about!

Li Mu's voice was still bewitching in his ears: "King Jun, you think, the Teaching Workshop Division is a professional!" In terms of quality, let's win first! Who are the women in the Teaching Division, they are all relatives of the convicts. Knowledge, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can there be! Who are the women in Pingkangli? They are all from poor backgrounds, and it is too difficult to let them recite poems against each other and add fragrance to their red sleeves! ”

"Which of our target guests doesn't have an identity? Ordinary women, do they see it? It has to be a woman from this teaching department, what do you look like, if you like to chant poetry, let's chant poetry, if you like to play chess, let's play chess. It doesn't matter, you can teach. There are a lot of hidden talents in the Teaching Division, and the accounting room in my house is selected from the Teaching Division, one can top three envoys, and the accounting is very fast! ”

Li Xiaogong was moved by what he said, and said: "I still think it's too bold, no matter how you say it, the people in the Jiaofang Division are also in the palace." You get them all out of the palace, how can Your Majesty explain them? ”

"Pick a good quality, don't you just leave some?" Li Mu had already thought about the explanation, and said: "I will ask them for their personal opinions, and if they are willing to leave the palace freely, let them leave the palace." If you don't want to leave the palace, let them stay. Men, you can ask them if they have any skills, those who have skills, arrange to work in the Ministry of Industry, and those who don't have skills always have the strength, be a small guy, be a turtle boy, carry a teapot, isn't it also a job. In short, it is necessary to reduce the burden on the teaching department, all of them are raised, hundreds of people, how much food do they have to eat in a day! It's better to open a green house and let them earn their own food. What do you say, the king of the county? ”

Li Xiaogong has been completely convinced, nodded frequently, and said: "It's also such a reason-okay, this business has been done by the king, and I will partner with you." What is the shareholding method? ”

Li Mu said with a smile; "The kid once said that when it comes to the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't have a stake in it. In this way, the Department of Education will be released, and I will help the county king get a charter, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will account for three components. After all, the Qinglou business is not very good, and it is not good to involve the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The rest of the people are at the disposal of the county king. If the king of the county wants to monopolize it, then he will monopolize it, and the king of the county does not want to monopolize it, and it is okay to pull people into the gang, it all depends on the mind of the king of the county. ”

Li Xiaogong thought for a while and said: "It's not good for this king to monopolize it, I still have two younger brothers, one is the king of Jibei County, and the other is the prince of Hanyang County, and the two of them account for one percent." Do you recognize the king of Jiangxia? ”

"I've met a few times, but there's no connection."

"I went and told him that he would take 20 percent and I would 30 percent. How much is the equivalent of a component, you name it. ”

Li Mu stretched out a finger and said: "One component is 10,000 yuan, I will ensure that this business will make no less than 100,000 yuan a year, if it is less, I will pay to make up for it." ”

"100,000?" Li Xiaogong frowned and said: "Don't talk big, as far as I know, Chunfeng Building is only 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a year, you dare to say 100,000?" ”

Li Mu smiled confidently and repeated again: "I'll make up for the missing!" ”

Li Xiaogong didn't talk nonsense when he saw this, and said: "Cheng, you will take the money away later!" ”

"Right!"
