"Lord Li is worthy of being a young talent, and his export is a chapter, no wonder he will be reused by the emperor, and General Ben admires it!" Qin Shubao sighed, amazed by Li Jianguo's eloquence.

Li Jianguo hurriedly got up and said, "General Qin has won the award, so I don't dare to be it." ”

"Master Li is too modest, and you have done so many things in just one month in office, which is enough to prove your ability. I believe that the current minister of civil and military affairs in the DPRK is convinced of you, and no one will think that you are not qualified enough. ”

On that day, Xiao Yu strongly opposed Li Jianguo's appointment as Shang Shuling, and Qin Shubao also heard about it from elsewhere, but Qin Shubao rarely participated in such court affairs, so he did not appear in the main hall that day. Now that I have seen Li Jianguo's talent with my own eyes, I am already convinced.

Li Jianguo naturally understood the meaning of Qin Shubao's words, and said at the moment: "Actually, Lord Xiao is not selfish, and it is reasonable that he strongly opposed me to taking the position of Shang Shuling that day, and it was also for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Society. Now that I have become confidants with Lord Xiao, I talked with him for a long time in Lord Xiao's mansion a few days ago. ”

"Oh? That's a good thing. I don't have much contact with Xiao Yu, and I don't know much about this person. However, he followed Emperor Gaozu to fight in the south and north, and was deeply trusted by Gaozu. Qin Shubao continued: "Those who are officials must not only have the heart of serving the world and the country, but also live in harmony with the officials of the DPRK and China. ”

Li Jianguo nodded, "Juniors remember General Qin's teachings. ”

"Okay, since the matter of the patrol battalion has been handed over, then Lord Li should enter the palace as soon as possible and return to the emperor, and this general will be able to take office tomorrow." Qin Shubao reminded.

Li Jianguo got up and bowed, "Since this is the case, then I won't bother General Qin today, and the juniors will leave." ”

After Li Jianguo finished speaking, he left the Qin Mansion and prepared to enter the palace to face the saint.

"This son is really an amazing and brilliant person, he will definitely be a pillar of the country one day, and his name will go down in history." Qin Shubao looked at Li Jianguo's departing back, shook his head and sighed.

Li Jianguo came directly to the Liangyi Palace. Today's Li Jianguo is already the Shangshu Order of the Tang Dynasty, ranking among the first-class members, and everyone knows it, and it is no longer like when he entered the palace for the first time.

"Big brother, I'm back!" Li Jianguo pushed the door in, and when he saw that Li Shimin was the only one inside, he shouted directly.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw Li Jianguo coming, "Second brother, you are here, I just have something to discuss with you." ”

"Big brother, I have completed the handover with General Qin, General Qin asked me to return to my eldest brother, and he will be able to take office tomorrow. I also explained many matters of the patrol battalion to General Qin clearly. Regarding this matter, Li Jianguo didn't want to delay in the slightest, and directly returned to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin stepped forward and grabbed Li Jianguo's hand, as if he was a little anxious, "I'll talk about this later, I'm in a little trouble now, you can quickly help me think of an idea." ”

"What's making the eldest brother so anxious?" Li Jianguo asked puzzled.

"Some time ago, I asked you to go to Xiao Yu's mansion and hand over his private property with him, do you remember?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

Li Jianguo didn't understand what Li Shimin's intention was when he mentioned this matter, nodded and responded: "Of course I remember this matter, what's wrong?" ”

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Xiao Yu's properties are all teahouses and restaurants in the east market of Chang'an City, but the business is very poor. The teahouses and restaurants in the household department are almost unable to open, and they are already unable to make ends meet, let alone make a profit. ”

"Then did the eldest brother send someone to investigate what caused it, and whether it was the internal cause of the store?" Li Jianguo asked.

Li Shimin shook his head, "I have already sent someone to secretly investigate, when Xiao Yu was in business, business was not very good. When I ordered the household department to take over, there were no changes to these teahouses and restaurants. ”

"Big brother means to let me think of an idea, how to make the business of the teahouse hotel better, right?" Li Jianguo looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile.

"It's natural, if we continue like this, the shops will close their doors. Originally, I was hoping that these shops would make some money and increase some revenue from the treasury, but now it's good, and I'm about to post it. Li Shimin said with a distressed face.

Li Jianguo smiled, did not speak, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to reverse the current situation. After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea, and Li Jianguo planned to adopt modern business methods and carry out all kinds of hype.

"Big brother, don't panic, I've already thought of a way." Li Jianguo looked at Li Shimin with a smile on his face and said unhurriedly.

"Oh? Do you have a solution? Let's talk about it! Li Shimin's face was excited, and he grabbed Li Jianguo's hand.

"The solution is very simple, in the words of my hometown, it is two words, hype." Li Jianguo spit out two unfathomable words, making Li Shimin look dazed.

"Hype? What do you mean? Second brother, you make it clear. ”

"I have two options. The first one, the eldest brother can let people speak in Chang'an City, just say that these teahouses and restaurants are often patronized by court ministers. In this way, the people will definitely be curious about these teahouses and restaurants, and they will naturally visit them. To put it simply, this method is to take advantage of the situation and attract customers. ”

After listening to Li Jianguo's words, Li Shimin did not agree as usual, but shook his head, "This method is not advisable, in this way, it is too unfair to other teahouse restaurants, and it is a bit overwhelming." You say the second one! ”

Li Jianguo nodded, the first method was difficult for Li Shimin to accept, and it was also expected by him. Li Shimin has always loved the people like a son, so naturally he will not agree to such an approach.

"The second approach can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The eldest brother can set up an exam question in these teahouses and restaurants, and as for the award, they can eat and drink for free. In this way, it is sure to attract a lot of customers. Not only that, but this move can not only make business better, but also allow the eldest brother to discover the talents of Chang'an City, hasn't the eldest brother always been eager to seek talents? Li Jianguo told the story, and Li Shimin was also stunned when he heard it.

"It's feasible, but the question can't be too simple, otherwise I'll still lose money."

"Haha, don't worry, big brother, I will handle it properly, the problem I set up will not be solved so easily." Li Jianguo is full of confidence, just because he comes from the 21st century.

"But I still have one concern, how can those talented people care about this? In this way, I'm afraid it will make them disgusted, right? Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"Big brother, don't worry, if it's a real problem, those talented people will only focus on the topic, but won't care about anything else." Li Jianguo explained.

After hearing this, Li Shimin also nodded with sudden understanding, "What you said is reasonable, then this exam question will be handed over to you, the sooner the better." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, leave this matter to me!" Li Jian's Chinese tone was firm and full of confidence.
