Heaven and earth.

Today's Shangyuan Festival, but Li Yuan was reluctant to return to the palace, and the valley seemed deserted again, and there was no festive atmosphere, so he finally chose a compromise solution, which was to return to heaven and earth. Li Shimin will sneak out after he is busy in the palace, he is not to accompany Li Yuan, mainly to watch the new drama tonight.

Li Mu also wanted to go to the play, although he wrote the script, he already knew the plot, and it wasn't really interesting to watch, but today Jin Chen played Cui Yingying, and he had to watch it with his own eyes on the side. He had already ordered two Jinyi guards to wear civilian clothes and hide in the crowd with crossbows, and in case Zhang Sheng on the board had physical contact with Cui Yingying, he would immediately shoot this person on the spot.

He wanted to go, but he really couldn't get out, because he was blocked by a group of businessmen, this group of businessmen was none other than the parents of the graduates of the first Datang Technical School.

Obviously, the use and efficacy of cement have been leaked.

Li Mu can be sure that the news was not leaked by himself. But if it was leaked by Li Shimin, why is this? But if it wasn't leaked by Li Shimin, who was it?

Li Mu patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being too stupid. It was Xu Ji who built the wall, and the eldest grandson rushed to them, they are now all figures in charge of the internal affairs department, and their vision and insight are not the same as before, they have come into contact with cement, and they must be able to guess its prospects.

Li Mu sighed, just looking for the perpetrator, but he moved a stone and hit himself in the foot.

After realizing this problem, Li Mu thought about it, and there seemed to be no solution, so he immediately sank his face: "What is it to be Benhou?" Is your cash cow? Get out of here, one more nonsense, Lao Tzu discounted your son's leg! ”

This sentence is better than anything else, as soon as Li Mu's voice fell, these people scattered as birds and beasts.

Li Mu came upstairs, and in the private room, Li Shimin, Mrs. Lu, Li Yuan, and Empress Changsun were playing mahjong. When Li Shimin saw Li Mu coming, he gave the mahjong to Li Tai, who was standing next to him, and pulled Li Mu aside.

"Li Mu, why is the news of cement known all over the world now? Whoever I saw today asked him sideways. Others are okay to say, among the nobles, there are also many questions, saying that they want to buy shares, this-"

"Your Majesty, this is impossible." Li Mu didn't want to refuse directly, and said: "The shares of the cement factory can't be sent casually." The minister is not a big bag, arbitrary, but in the initial stage, the minister must have the right to speak, otherwise gossiping, everyone has some opinions, how to develop the cement plant? Who the hell are you listening to? ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, so I have already rejected them." Seeing that Li Mu's face softened, Li Shimin said again: "How is the matter of road repair, do you have eyebrows?" ”

"Factories, workers, it's easy to say." Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin and said, "It's almost money, if the treasury or the internal affairs government can support some, the minister is really grateful." ”

"The money of the treasury is in the hands of the Ministry of Households." Hearing the money, Li Shimin immediately hid back: "I already have a use for the money of the Internal Affairs Office, and I can't help you with the money." ”

Li Mu rolled his eyes and said, "Then what else does Your Majesty ask, the minister will find a way to get it." ”

"I'm anxious for you." Li Shimin blushed a little and said: "This matter has become a big problem now, if I lose face, the court and my face will also be lost." ”

"Ah, didn't you say that?" Li Mu yawned and said, "The minister thinks of his own way, isn't it money?" Your Majesty, you still don't believe me in this? ”

"Something that is given for nothing in this world." Li Shimin didn't believe in such a good thing: "I don't know how much money and food is spent on road construction. Although the cement you make is cheap, even if it is calculated according to one-tenth of the glutinous rice mortar, the money in your hand is not enough. Even if you can get the money, throwing money into it for nothing will cause criticism, and you have to think about these things first. ”

"The minister has already planned it." Li Mu said with a smile: "Your Majesty can also see that the minister's style has always been, and everyone earns money together." Li Mu smiled and said, "In this way, there will be more and more friends, and the road will be wider and wider." ”

Li Shimin pursed his lips and said in his heart, everyone has offended you all over the place, how can you have any friends.

"Where you should spend money, you can't save a penny, you have to spend it." Li Mu said, the words changed again, and said: "But where you can spend money, it is redundant to spend a penny." ”

"Then tell me what to do!" Li Shimin asked with a straight face, looking at the posture, if he doesn't ask for a meridian today, he won't give up.

Li Mu sighed in his heart and said, "First of all, I'm already doing the first step. The person who pays the money first sets up a cement plant, which is the first step. ”

"Then, where do you want to develop – let's say Lantian County, in Lantian County, and then we partner together to set up a development company."

Li Shimin frowned, it is another new word, the concept of the company, Li Mu has popularized it, and he understands it. Each family has a share, and the number of shares it occupies will have as much right to speak. A few days ago, Li Mu made an authorization, and he also understood what was going on, that is, Li Mu didn't have so much money, but he also had to have the final say, although it was a little strong, but it was also reasonable. But Li Shimin was a little unclear about what this development company meant, and he could faintly feel it, but he was not sure.

"What does development mean — uh, how do you say that?" Li Mu thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an easy-to-understand explanation, so he had to forcibly popularize science: "Development refers to the use of wasteland, mines, forests, water and other natural resources as the object of labor, in order to achieve the purpose of utilization. For example, Lantian County is very poor and has no money, but it has mineral deposits and manpower. Then we can cooperate! ”

"The cement plant is a subsidiary of Datang Jianye, and the partnership to establish a development company requires Datang Jianye to replace the cement plant to hold shares. Datang Construction provides all cement and building materials, as well as food for work, accounting for 50% of the shares, right? ”

Li Shimin frowned slightly, on the surface, it didn't seem to be much, but he always felt that this was not the case.

Li Mu didn't give Li Shimin more time to think, and said: "If you work more, you have to be the big head, and the big head has more shares, which is also a matter of course." ”

Li Shimin was noncommittal and said, "You continue." ”

"Without the lubrication of the local gentry, there will still be a lot of trouble." Li Mu continued: "So it's reasonable for them to contribute a quarter of the shares, a quarter of the shares, and at the same time take care of recruiting people, right? ”

"A quarter?" Li Shimin was dissatisfied: "Isn't that cheaper for them?" I told you a long time ago that I want to suppress these gentry, and you are also- isn't this an enemy? ”

"Your Majesty, this minister can't agree." Li Mu said seriously: "The common people call the magistrate the parent official, if you say so, Your Majesty is the parent of the people of the world, although the gentry, the businessman, do a lot of things, can not satisfy Your Majesty." But aren't they His Majesty's people? Your Majesty's thinking is very dangerous! ”

"I-" Li Shimin said angrily, "Don't pick words for me, you just need to understand the meaning." A quarter is too much, what do they do, just take a quarter? ”

Li Mu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the rivers and lakes that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake of the ground, give a quarter to them, and if they can agree, the minister will burn high incense." ”

"Can you still disagree? If they dare to say they don't agree, I'm not welcome to them! Li Shimin was a little excited, gritted his teeth and said: "It's only a quarter, not a penny more, so it's decided, you go on, don't grind here." ”

Li Mu hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't talk about this first, continue to talk about it." ”

"The next quarter of the shares are going to be given to the county."

"Oh, and the county still has a stake?" Li Shimin didn't understand this, and asked, "What do you do to the county?" Now the imperial court is very short of money, and this share should be held by the household department on behalf of the imperial court. ”

"Of course not." Li Mu said lightly: "First, the development company is not a one-shot deal, but a company that should take root in the local area, build the local area, and serve the local area." It's a long process, maybe five years, maybe ten years, but the county order, as far as the minister knows, can't be a lifetime. If the county does not have a stake, how can it be guaranteed that future prefectural ordinances will support the development company? ”

"I can make a will."

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, do you have to let the minister explain what he said?" Developing a place is not an overnight thing, it is an ongoing, long process. It could be a dozen or twenty years, or it could be a generation or two generations. Your Majesty is certainly wise and martial, but it is difficult to ensure that there are no unworthy children and grandchildren. Your Majesty can guarantee that in the future, if Cheng Qian or his descendants ascend the throne, they will also act according to your will today? If there is any stubble, will all the previous efforts be in vain?

"......" Li Shimin was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Li Mu's goal to be so ambitious that it was unbelievable.

"Second, if the county has money, the magistrate will not have the pressure to pay taxes, and the harsh taxes on the people will be reduced, so that there will be none, so as to reduce the burden on the people."

"Makes sense." Li Shimin nodded, recognized Li Mu's words, and said with a smile: "You are still thoughtful, it is necessary to give the county shares." ”

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, do you have to let the minister explain what he said?" Developing a place is not an overnight thing, it is an ongoing, long process.

"It's still your thoughtfulness, and it's necessary to give the county shares." "It's still your thoughtfulness, and it's necessary to give the county shares." "It's still your thoughtfulness, and it's necessary to give the county shares." ”
