If you treat others, Li Mu doesn't have the patience to explain, but Li Shimin is not an outsider, he is the emperor, and he can't get around. Especially something as sensitive as money, if Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't let Li Mu do it.

Seeing that Li Shimin still didn't understand, Li Mu pondered for a long time, and then said: "Your Majesty, the value of money is reflected in the purpose achieved by using money. It's like it takes a million to build a cavalry, and that million dollars may be spent on rewards, it may be spent on weapons, it may be spent on armor. The money has to be spent to be valuable, and the soldiers have to spend it to be worthwhile. Therefore, the value of money is reflected in circulation, not in accumulation. If the money is not spent, it is just a pile of scrap copper. ”

"I'll give you another example. When the minister arrived in a small town, he took out the usual money to the innkeeper and said that he would choose a room to stay. The shopkeeper readily agreed, and let me choose whatever I wanted. When I was looking for a house, the shopkeeper took the money I had given him and went to the butcher shop across the street to pay off the debt. The butcher of the butcher's shop got the money, and paid off the debts of the shepherd who sold his sheep, and the shepherd took the money to repay the farmer's forage money, and the farmer took the money and repaid the money for writing a letter on behalf of a scholar who had been borrowed from the inn a few days ago, and this scholar happened to owe the innkeeper the money for the house. ”

At this time, the minister picked around, didn't see a suitable house, and wanted to change to an inn. I found the innkeeper and returned the money, and the shopkeeper returned the money to me. ”

When Li Mu said this, he looked at Li Shimin, whose eyes were a little straight, and asked: "Your Majesty, for the minister, the minister took out the consistent money, and got the consistent money, and there was no loss. But this consistent money made the shopkeeper, the butcher, the shepherd, the farmer, and the scholar all pay off the debts, and they all earned the same money. Now Your Majesty understands, where does the money come from? ”

Li Shimin counted with his fingers, shopkeeper, butcher, shepherd, farmer, scholar...... Go around in circles, always money...... Li Shimin's brows gradually relaxed, and he said: "I generally understand a little, what you mean is that as long as you can make the money circulating, the money is still the money, but everyone can profit!" ”

Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and quickly nodded heavily. Although Li Shimin only understood the most superficial layer, the direction of his understanding was correct. As for monetary inflation, let's explain it slowly and gradually, and explain it clearly at once, and he doesn't know how to say it.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and then said: "But in this way, the money will still accumulate in the hands of the gate valve family...... Isn't it still a problem if they only earn and don't spend? ”

"Your Majesty, they have to buy mining rights from Your Majesty, and they have to pay taxes. This occupies a part, in addition, isn't there a minister, the minister has to find a way to let them spend the money they earn, as long as they spend money, the money is circulating, as long as it is circulating, the money has value. So, can Your Majesty understand what the minister said before? The minister regards money as dung, not really as dung, but the minister understands the essence of money. Money is only valuable when it is spent, and its value is based on what it gets. Not how many taels of silver it is, how much money it is! For example, His Majesty wants a cavalry of 10,000 people, and it is expected to cost 1 million guan, but if 200,000 guan gets things done, then this matter is worth 200,000 guan, if 2 million guan gets things done, then it is worth 2 million guan, the important thing is to spend money to do things, not just to make money! ”

Li Mu finished speaking in one breath, and his mouth was dry. Picking up the teapot and taking a big sip, Li Shimin slowly digested Li Mu's words, and said, "Aiqing means that I don't stick to the amount of money, but to be a person who distributes money...... Just like Aiqing once said, I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone! Am I right? ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is very intelligent, it can't be more right!" ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu and said angrily: "I only understood after listening to it for so long, even if I am very smart?" What about you? Aren't you a saint when you find out the truth? ”

Li Mu laughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is either arrogant, or when Kong Sheng is alive, he also has to rely on the filial piety of his disciples to live, right?" The minister naturally did not dare to compare with Kong Sheng, but the way to make money, Kong Sheng was definitely inferior to the minister. ”

"Isn't that hubris?" Li Shimin sighed and said, "That's it, you kid is arrogant, and you can be regarded as having the capital to be arrogant, so go with you." It's just that these doorways, I sound so difficult, how can you explain it to the gate valve family and the others? ”

Li Mu blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, why do you want to explain?" ”

"If you don't explain, how can they believe it?"

"As long as the ministers let them see the benefits, they will pounce on themselves. The minister explains too much, but it seems to be a lie, why bother? Li Mu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as long as this kind of thing is profitable, there is no need to explain it at all." Have you forgotten that sentence, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. They are all willing, and the ministers never force people. ”

Li Shimin knew that he couldn't talk about Li Mu in the matter of doing business, so he simply stopped talking, pointed to the mountains of copper coins in the cell next to him, and said, "Boy, what do you say about this money?" I remember, twenty-eight accounts! ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu saw that Li Shimin had the idea of starting to make money, and his voice suddenly became much higher, and said, "Your Majesty, you can't rob it!" It's not easy for ministers to make some money, what a waste of energy, and they are still in prison. And this situation is not what we said at the beginning, the money was completely voluntarily given by them, in order to buy shares. It's earned by the minister's ability, Your Majesty...... You can't bully a child! ”

Li Shimin was a little ashamed, but he was really short of money now, and he knew that Li Mu could make money, and he had nowhere to spend it. As the so-called lice are too much and itchy, he already owes Li Mu tens of thousands of dollars for the construction of the craftsman workshop and the new government of the Ministry of Industry, and he doesn't plan to pay it back anyway, so why not pay it back with tens of thousands more.

As for bullying children...... You said so, if I don't bully, it seems that I can't stand you, so I just have a thick-skinned face and bully!

Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "Boy, you can think about it, I will leave you a little bit of the account." If you don't say yes...... You dare to take bribes in the prison of Dali Temple, I will punish you! ”

Li Mu opened his mouth wide, his jaw was about to fall, and the three views were ruined! This is not going to make any sense! Although he originally planned to use the money to get out of prison, but since Li Shimin had promised to let him out without him admitting his mistake, this money can be saved, although it is no big deal to be robbed, but he feels uncomfortable!

Li Mu decided to fight on the basis of reason!

"Your Majesty, you can't do this! Just now, he called the minister one by one, saying that he understood the meaning of the minister and wanted to be a ruler of money. How is it that when you encounter money in a blink of an eye, it is all the other way around? It doesn't make sense! ”

"What's the truth?" Li Shimin said unreasonably: "I am the emperor, and I am the truth." Aiqing is you, and the kid is also you, do you dare to say that I am wrong? As for money, I can understand what you mean. But you have to use money in front of you, and if you don't have money, how can you use it? Otherwise, you should lend it to me, and when you have enough money, I will pay you back!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Li Mu was about to cry, and said: "Have you forgotten that the minister is the internal order, and the internal budget is rich, and the minister has to help you earn it." Why don't you transfer some money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the ministers first? I have to let the minister see some money, the minister has already lent you almost 100,000 yuan, plus these, 200,000 yuan is available...... The minister's family is not rich! ”

Li Shimin said bitterly: "There are only a few people in your family, how many people do I have to manage?" Boy, you have to understand me! ”

"Your Majesty, you are too unreasonable. The world is yours, and you don't care who cares. But this world is not the minister's, the minister just wants to take care of his own home, what's wrong? ”

"You're still in the clan, and you're a royal family! There is also a share of you in the world, otherwise, where you see it, I will give you a fief. The right should be offset, anyway, this money, I have to decide! ”

“……”

The two looked at each other for a long time. Shepherd Li sighed, no problem, if the emperor is unreasonable, who can do anything to him?

Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the money can be given to you, but the minister wants something." ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "You say, what do you want?" ”

"Your Majesty will give the houses built by the craftsman's workshop to the ministers, and they are all built by the ministers themselves anyway. The power was bought by the minister for 200,000 yuan, and the minister was in charge of his own affairs. If Your Majesty agrees, this time plus the previous accounts, all of them will be written off, and the minister will never mention it again! ”

Li Shimin thought about it and felt that it was not unacceptable. It turned out that the artisan's workshop was a wasteland, and the craftsmen built shantytowns to live. If it weren't for Li Mu leading the craftsmen to build the house, it would be worthless.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin said: "I can give it to you, but there are craftsmen living there now, and the Ministry of Industry is also there, how can I count it?" ”

"The minister will never drive them away!" Li Mu sighed again and said, "It should be the same as before, and everything will remain the same." The minister just asks for peace of mind, otherwise the minister's heart is really uncomfortable, as if he has met a thief and suffered a misfortune......"

As he spoke, Li Mu lay on the table and 'cried'.

Li Shimin's old face was slightly hot, how could he not understand what Li Mu meant, he was the thief.

"Alright, don't cry, I promised. That place is for you, as you toss it around. After speaking, Li Shimin said again: "I also know that I have wronged you." But you must also understand that I treat you like a nephew. I value you very much, otherwise I would have cut you down a long time ago if you had died several times. You have to know this. I allow you to be presumptuous, and you should repay me, you know? ”

"Yes."

Li Mu lay on the table and didn't look up, his voice was aggrieved, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising. Boss, I'm afraid you don't know what real estate is! I, Li Mu, will be the No. 1 real estate tycoon in Chang'an from now on!
