Seeing Li Shimin, Feng Si and Bi Laosan were very frightened and hurriedly gave a salute. Li Shimin didn't have anything to say to them, waved his hand, and asked the two of them to retreat.

Li Mu earnestly invited Li Shimin to sit down and said, "How can the minister know that His Majesty will come to the Ministry of Industry, and how can he know that His Majesty is eavesdropping outside?" The words just now are the words of the minister's heart, and there is not a single falsehood. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Let's believe you once." Today is free, I remembered that I couldn't enjoy my last visit to the Ministry of Industry, so I came to have a look. Li Aiqing had already walked around with me, looked at the factory, and saw the residences of the craftsmen. Very good, orderly, I am very satisfied. I was going to go back, but I heard someone say you're coming, so I came over to have a look. In fact, he left the palace to cure the smell of feet, and left from Liu Shenwei, and when he saw that it was still early, he turned around and took a look at the Ministry of Works. However, it is impossible for Li Shimin to mention such a thing as treating foot odor.

Suddenly, Li Shimin's face turned cold, and said: "I didn't expect to hear the news that someone wants to open a green building, or is it my brother - Li Mu, do you really not know how to write dead characters?" ”

"Oh, my majesty!" Li Mudeng called out and said: "The minister is very wronged this time, and the minister has suffered a lot of losses for this matter!" When did Your Majesty come? Can you hear it all? ”

Li Shimin said truthfully: "Before and after you beat someone, I didn't hear it before. ”

"Oops!" Li Mu covered his heart and exaggerated: "Why am I so unlucky, when I do bad things, I am blocked by Your Majesty, and when I suffer a loss, Your Majesty can't see it, God, let me die!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what nonsense!" Li Shimin scolded him and said, "What grievances have you suffered, tell me clearly." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's opening of the Qinglou is completely official. For this reason, the minister took a part of the racecourse, the shares of Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining, and the losses were huge! Your Majesty still misunderstands the minister so much, if the minister doesn't die, what will he live! ”

Li Shimin furrowed his brows and said, "I don't know anything about it, what's going on with this share and that share?" ”

Li Mu mentioned the reform of the Teaching Workshop Division, and told Li Shimin how to be involved with Li Xiaogong and other matters.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Li Mu, my cousin is not bad at all, the Teaching Department is very involved, and it is an old example of the previous dynasty, you are so bold and bold, it will inevitably cause public indignation." The matter of this man and woman is indescribable, the way is unclear, and it is the most pestering. If those servants are also against you, it will be even more difficult. Your intentions are good, but I think it's better to think long-term. ”

Li Mu didn't expect Li Shimin to say the same, and he was angry. Lao Tzu does all this, the biggest beneficiary is you, it's just that others are pulling back, are you still pulling back?

The stubborn temper came up, and the emperor didn't give face! Li Mu snorted and said, "The minister thinks that Your Majesty is a generation of heroes, not a person who indulges in wine. I didn't expect His Majesty to be reluctant to teach the Fang Division, but it really made the ministers see. Well, since Your Majesty is reluctant, the ministers don't care. Let Your Majesty indulge in the gentle countryside, and let me follow the example of the previous dynasty and die! ”

"You stinky boy!" Li Shimin was so angry that he slapped Li Mu on the head and scolded: "You actually compared me to the king of the dead country, you are so bold!" Which ear do you hear that I am reluctant, I am thinking about you, worried that you will offend too many people. It's just that you kid doesn't appreciate it, and you distort my meaning, what crime should you be guilty of? ”

Li Mu hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "The minister knows that His Majesty is wise and by no means a dumb lord. His Majesty's heart of protection is received by the minister. However, since the minister has the trust of His Majesty and has become the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he must do what the minister in charge should do. Your Majesty can trust the ministers, and you should know the truth of employing people without doubt. Please believe in your majesty, support your minister, even if you overcome obstacles, you will definitely be able to do it! ”

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Since you are bent on going your own way, I will follow you." It's just that you haven't made it clear why you have to open a green building, and why you have to replace your shares. Although I don't understand business, I also know that you will suffer a big loss by replacing you like this, what do you think? ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "The minister just doesn't want to be involved with people." ”

Li Shimin frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"After having the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the minister intends to do it in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as long as the business involves shares in the future. The money earned is counted as internal money, so that you can also earn a million yuan as soon as possible, for Your Majesty to build an invincible army. Although the minister suffered losses, the minister thought about it, and it was useless for the minister to ask for so much money. Now there are two businesses at home, the wine shop and the phoenix, and the money earned is enough. And the minister is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are already a lot of things. Dealing with the business of equity participation is really too busy, it is better to break it when it is broken, and also save yourself a snack and try to be clean. ”

When Li Shimin heard these words, he was moved and a little ashamed, and said: "It's also difficult for you, for my words, to make you work so hard and bear such a big loss." It's just that I still feel that after all, you are an official of the imperial court and a marquis of the Tang Dynasty. Doing business is for me, no way. But you open a green building, this ...... Your reputation is damaged, how can I go willingly. ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, may I ask Your Majesty, which is more important than the reputation of the society?" ”

"Self is very important, but what does this have to do with your opening of a green building?"

"Your Majesty, the minister opened the Qinglou in order to make money, and to earn one million yuan as soon as possible, and Your Majesty can also clear the four sides as soon as possible. The world is peaceful, the people live in peace, and the minister can be regarded as doing his best, just a reputation, what is the pity, not to mention the reputation of the minister, it has not been very good. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and said, "You are self-aware. ”

"I don't care!" Li Mu smiled indifferently, and said, "Also, Your Majesty has ever thought about it." If the minister doesn't open this green building, where will those women who have been dismissed by the Department of Education and Workshop go from here? ”

Li Mu sighed and said, "Many of them are used to this kind of day of entertainment and drunkenness. To put it mildly, even if they are asked to work and earn money now, they don't want to exert that effort. If the ministers don't open this green building, they will also enter this industry, which is inevitable. This business can be regarded as a huge profit, and the money comes quickly. If the minister wants to have some novel tricks, it will not be a problem to earn more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year. ”

"In addition, the king of Hejian County intends to do some business, and he ...... Good bite. The minister thought, why not do what you can count in one fell swoop? Isn't it just reputation, and the minister doesn't care! ”

"Alas!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Then how can you make up for these losses, I can't owe you such a big favor." ”

"It's okay." Li Mu spread his hands and said, "The minister doesn't care, what if you give it to Your Majesty?" ”

"I can't help it!" Li Shimin shook his head and said, "If you can't think of a way to make up for it, I can't agree." ”

"This ......" Li Mu thought for a while, and said: "Then it's better like this, Your Majesty, see how much land these shares of the minister can be exchanged for in Pingkangfang, if the place is big enough, the minister himself will open another gambling house to make money to make up for the loss, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Gambling house?" Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "It's okay, since I ascended the throne, although I have been suppressing folk gambling. But the effect is very small, and private gambling has been repeatedly banned. Gambling houses are everywhere, and you are not bad. It's just that this gambling game, the doorway inside, if you don't understand, you may not be able to make money. Have you figured it out? ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Your Majesty forgot, mahjong tiles were invented by ministers. ”

"What if you invented it, you didn't lose to your father that day-" Li Shimin suddenly said, "You did it on purpose?" ”

Li Mu smiled and didn't speak.

Li Shimin said angrily: "You kid really has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and even I have hidden it." How will I believe in you in the future? ”

"It's all a trivial matter, it's harmless to make the emperor happy. In major matters, has the minister concealed His Majesty? Li Mu knows Li Shimin's character, he just gave him such a big favor, he won't be really angry now.

Sure enough, Li Shimin didn't care too much, muttered a few sentences, and gave up. Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "Everything you have borne for me, the reputation you have lost, I know it in my heart. Don't worry, I won't live up to you. ”

Li Muxin said, why does Li Shimin always say such fleshy things recently, it seems that an infatuated man complains about a woman, disgusting or not. Are you a fool to me? I'm doing all this today to prepare for you when you know I've soaked your chick in the future. Now the more I lose and the more I give, the more guilt you feel in your heart. People's hearts are flesh and blood, and I don't believe that you will be ruthless enough to kill me when the time comes.

Besides, where do you know my plan, the matter of losing money was not done by me Li Mu. Qinglou certainly makes money, how can there be a gambling house that makes more money? Others open gambling houses, and there are profits and losses. I open a gambling house and make sure I don't lose money. As a time-traveler who has watched more than 50 gambling movies and learned probability calculus, if you can't understand this bit of calculation, it is better to die headlong.

The plan of the casino is to come with the Qinglou. Even if there is no such thing as today, Li Mu has to do it. He has all the names, the Qinglou is called "Lichun Courtyard", and the gambling house is called "Pinjin Grotto", what kind of ability is it to make money from the poor. If you want to earn, you can earn the money of the rich, what nobles, gate valves, and scholars, none of them can run, and they will kill you old Kaizi!

Accompanied Li Shimin to perform a drama of "gentlemen and ministers cherish each other", Li Mu came out of the Ministry of Industry with Li Shimin, and did not separate until Zhuque Street, Li Shimin and Gao Gonggong returned to the palace, and Li Mu took Dugu Jiu back to Jingdongji.

As soon as he entered the courtyard through the back door, he bumped into Li Zhien, who had a grudgeful face. Li Mu was inexplicable, got off the horse, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Zhien puffed out his mouth, ignored him, and walked into the house with red eyes. Li Mu hurriedly followed, just arrived at the door, but heard the crying inside, was startled and hurriedly broke in, and saw that it was Bai Qiaoqiao crying, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?" What are you crying about, is my father-in-law dead? ”
