Li Shimin's refusal to let Li Mu write an excerpt admitting his mistake was actually a helpless move. After all, Dali Temple is a place where the law is strict, and if Li Mu continues to mess around like this, how will Dali Temple try cases in the future. Of course, the main reason is money, which is a real amount of millions of dollars. It's only been a few days? If there is no such thing, it is to let Li Mu squat in Dali Temple for half a month, and Li Shimin is also willing, but now, in order to make better money, he naturally has to let Li Mu out.

Interests are the ultimate indicator that determines the direction of things. Li Shimin is short of money, he lacks money and his eyes are green. This year there was a big battle, although it was victorious. But the ensuing overhead has really increased dramatically. Don't look at the snatching of more than 200,000 yuan from Jieli's hands, this amount of money, the reward soldiers are stretched. And don't forget, in addition to grabbing money, what about people?

Captured slaves, have to eat food, right? The displaced people on the border have to be appeased and resettled, right? You know, hungry people can do anything. Forced to the part, several Turkic tribes united, it is a force of cavalry, big things can't be done, harassing small border towns, it can still be done, isn't it all trouble?

At this time, money and food are the root of life. There is grain, in the hands of the gate valve family, if you want food, you have to give money. Li Shimin had no money, so he could only stare dryly. Therefore, as long as you can get him money, he is a good person, and the slightest problem will become pleasing to the eye.

No, Aiqing is called?

Li Mu had already figured out Li Shimin's temper, so he decided to insist and support it again. Sure enough, things went in the direction he expected, and his face was finally saved.

Li Mu knew that if he didn't explain it clearly to Li Shimin, it would be impossible for him to let him go. He gathered his thoughts and started from the beginning.

"Your Majesty, the minister will talk about this matter first, how did he get to where he is today, step by step." Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "Of the three companies, there is only one of the minister's initial expectations. It is Datang Jianye, the so-called 'Jianye', the construction of architecture. Because recently, many nobles in Chang'an are looking for craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to build a kang and build a fire wall. The minister pondered that he couldn't work in vain, so he pondered the establishment of this Datang Construction Company. The so-called "company" means that the company is operated together with the power of the public. This can't be regarded as the invention of the minister, the Ministry of Industry has the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Yu, and the minister was inspired by this. ”

Li Mu continued: "For 'Salt and Mine', Chen originally did not plan to set up a company. But the day before yesterday, after seeing Sun Chong, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, and Wang Pu, the younger brother of Wang Shizhong, the minister found that this matter was not so easy to solve. Because according to the meaning of Zhao Guogong and Wang Shizhong, the two of them want to occupy most of this benefit. But Your Majesty, do you think, Qinghe Cui Clan, Zhao Jun Li Clan, Shen Guogong, Dugu Family, etc., which one is easy to mess with? Which one is not well-informed? On the second day after the minister met them, many people came to the minister and resolutely opposed the division of the two families with the majority, which felt very unfair! ”

Li Shimin was not surprised at all that the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Qi made such a request, which is understandable for human nature. They are the leaders of their respective forces, and their official positions are also the highest and most influential, so they naturally feel that they should take the lion's lead. While others objected, Li Shimin was not surprised. Because the losses and benefits caused by the incident are borne by everyone. Why don't you bear more losses than others, but when you have benefits, you have to take a large share? There is clearly unfairness.

Li Shimin imagined for a moment what he would do if he encountered this incident. It's also a headache to think about it, because no one is easy to mess with, and it doesn't seem appropriate to offend anyone in his position. But in the end, if he is forced to choose, he should still be inclined to help Changsun Wuji and Wang Qi, after all, the role of these two people is much higher than that of others.

But with the current result, it is obvious that Li Mu did not do this. Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and asked, "Go on, how did you do it?" ”

Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you are a minister." I am a person with a sense of justice, and the first thing I care about is fairness. Since everyone has their own reasons, the minister has no choice but to deal with it impartially. Money! You can't lie! So based on the experience of doing business in the past, how much money to pay, and how many shares, Chen came up with a very fair distribution method, and combined with the company model of Datang Jianye, he launched this set of best solutions. The minister named it a joint-stock company. ”

"The meaning of this strand comes from rubbing hemp rope." Li Mu had already thought of this set of rhetoric and explained to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty has seen the braided hemp rope? A hemp rope is made of the thinnest hemp, kneaded into a thin rope, and then kneaded into a thick rope with a thin rope, the weight that the thin rope can bear is small, but when it is rolled into a thick rope, the weight borne is large. Each string is called a strand. 'Share' is a part. Shares are the share of each investor. Every investor is the owner of this sub and is called a shareholder. The minister divides the company into 100 shares, each share is 10,000 yuan, according to the amount of money, the amount of the right to speak, simply put, who has more money, who will pay more dividends, and it is also counted! ”

Li Mu actually didn't know if the definition of shares in later generations was like this, but in the Tang Dynasty, what he said was the definition, as long as it could make sense, there would be no problem. And his explanation is also easy to understand. At least the hemp rope is divided into shares, Li Shimin still knows.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's really ingenious, but I have a question." If you ask them to pay, they will be willing to pay? You're not a liar, are you? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is an upright person!" Li Mu said seriously: "How can the minister deceive? The minister just calculated an account for them. ”

"What's the score?"

"The minister told them by way of calculation that the annual profit from mine and salt was at least two million. They can get a profit of 2 million guan for a capital of 1 million yuan. One to two, double the earn! Moreover, most of the cost of this million yuan still has to be spent on them. And the investment is a one-time investment, but the profit is there every year. Wouldn't it be a fool not to take a stake in this way? ”

Li Shimin was still a little ignorant, and said: "I still don't understand, what do you mean, this money is not considered to be earned?" ”

"Hmm......" Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I can't completely count it now, but I don't need it so much for the time being." Your Majesty can use it, as long as it is returned in time. ”

Li Shimin's eyes rolled, although it is a little disappointing that money is not pure profit, but it can be used, and it will solve the urgent need, and it is not unacceptable. Suddenly, Li Shimin thought of a question, this investment can be doubled, and the money invested can be transferred back, such a good thing, how can it be cheaper for others?

Li Shimin threw this question out, Li Mu sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you still understand what the minister means?" This is for Your Majesty, I told a big lie! ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What do you mean, to put it bluntly!" ”

"Your Majesty, may I ask you, as you are doing now, does Your Majesty have the money to invest in shares?"

Li Shimin shook his head, if he had money, would he still need Li Mu?

"Yes, Your Majesty has no money to invest in shares. There are no ministers, so what should I do? You can only find rich people to buy shares, and no one's money is picked up, if there is not enough return, who will invest money? Therefore, a double return is a must. ”

"But all this money has been earned for them, where is my profit?"

"Your Majesty, you didn't have anything to offer!" Li Mu explained to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the salt company is mining rock salt that is originally poisonous. When the company is operating, they have to pay for the salt. They have to contract the rock salt mine, and this money is your Majesty's net profit. This is something that you didn't have, and you wouldn't be able to make that money without a salt company. It's the same with mining, they contract mines, and they have to pay you. Originally, these two sums were not available. With these two companies, there are these two moneys. The minister operates like this, you don't have to invest a penny, sit back and enjoy the results, empty gloves white wolf, are you still not satisfied? ”

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Then the minister has no choice!" Your Majesty, please be wise! ”

Li Shimin frowned and thought about Li Mu's words, but he still didn't understand, and asked: "According to what you said, if I sit back and enjoy the success, they can also make a profit from the auxiliary machine and Shuji, but where does this money come from?" Whose money is it making? ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you give you another example, you should be able to understand." ”

"Suppose Chan has a coal mine, coal is valuable. But if coal is not dug up, it has no value. There was a group of displaced people next to the coal mine, these displaced people had no property, but they had the strength to help the ministers dig up the coal. They worked, and their ministers gave them money, and they used it to buy food to eat. The peasants who cultivated the land sold their grain and bought the coal of the courtiers for heating. The minister sold the coal and was able to make a profit. In this way, the coal of the ministers, the strength of the displaced people, and the grain of the peasants all have value. If Your Majesty asks who earns whose money, everyone earns whose money, because coal and the strength of the homeless people produce value, and this value is money. When the total amount of value gradually increases, so does the amount of money needed in the market. Or the amount of money does not increase, and the value of money increases. It's the other way around, the minister said this, do you understand, Your Majesty? ”

Li Shimin shook his head, he really didn't understand, and he was even more confused.

Li Mu didn't know how to explain it. When he was studying in later generations, he did not understand the concept of monetary inflation. Or later, when I did the game data balance, I summed up the truth through practice. The relationship between the total amount of ingots in a server and the amount of gold produced in the game is a small inflation law. That's why, some players can be a merchant in the game, and they can exchange ingots or even money by reselling them at the auction house for more than ten minutes, while most of them may not be able to learn skills by fighting monsters and brushing gold coins all day and night.

It's a doorway thing! It's not something that can be solved by hard work alone.
