"Zicheng, after the implementation of the new policy of the Beiting Protectorate, the situation has indeed improved a lot, and since the beginning of winter, it is almost rare to hear of herdsmen rebelling against the imperial court." It was winter, Li Shimin was wearing a mink coat, lying comfortably on the sofa, holding a glass of hot wine in his hand, and his expression was indescribably comfortable.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is still wise and wise, the minister just put forward some opinions, how can he compare with Your Majesty, it is completely one heaven and one underground, there is no comparison." Chen Fei modestly waved his hand again and again.

"Hahaha!" Chen Fei's sycophant happened to hit Li Shimin's heart, and he immediately laughed.

If you want to talk about Li Shimin, it can be regarded as the emperor's life is relatively hard. He wanted to be a wise king, so he had to listen humbly to the opinions of his subordinates.

To put it nicely, it is called humbly listening, and to put it bluntly, it is to be scolded by ministers every day. When a government decree is a little flawed, a series of ministers jump out and point at him, especially an old guy surnamed Wei who makes the most trouble, almost taking it as his duty to scold him, your unhappiness is his happiness. But Li Shimin couldn't help him, and praised him with a smile........ Tsk, this taste, not to mention how uncomfortable it is, who is the emperor knows in his heart.

Therefore, Li Shimin enjoyed Chen Fei's "sycophancy" that popped out of his mouth from time to time, and even took pleasure in it. Chen Fei understood Li Shimin's psychology very well, and thought to himself that he didn't rely on sycophants to eat anyway, so what if he had a sweet mouth and made his father-in-law happy?

So when the two of them sit together, they often hear a flattering and flattering voice, and the other laughs from ear to ear.

If Chen Fei's little brother is "removed", Chen Fei's current appearance is like a generation of traitors Wei Zhongxian.......

"Okay, okay, Zicheng doesn't want to slap my ass again. During this time, I don't see you learn anything else, but I don't know who to learn from Sweet Talk, and when you open your mouth, it's oily and smooth, and it's not systematic. Li Shimin laughed enough, and reprimanded Chen Fei with a face that was not serious.

Chen Fei smiled and didn't speak.

"By the way, Zicheng, your Chen Ji shop has recently earned a lot of cattle and sheep from the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, right? I've heard your price. Hehe, the market value of a cow is 145 Hu rice, but you only bought it for 80 Hu rice in Beiting Duhufu? Your profits, not bad? ”

Speaking of this topic, Chen Fei's smile gradually became stiff, and his smile was a little dry.

Although Li Shimin turned a blind eye to officials' business, he was the first one to be as blatant as Chen Fei, so... He himself wasn't sure what Li Shimin meant, so he could only laugh dryly, and there was a hint of weakness in the dry smile.

Because a cow or sheep can only be sold directly on the market for a few copper coins, but if it is made into beef slices and sold into beef hot pot, mutton hot pot, this price... At the very least, it will double again!

So he ....... You get the idea.

"This... Hehe, it's okay, Your Majesty, the cost of transporting goods from the customs to the prairie is quite high, so this price is only a small profit... It's really only a little bit of money, and you can guarantee it! ”

"Humph! You kid, don't be sloppy with me, I still don't know about your affairs? Chen Fei, I have made a rough calculation of your property in the past few days and found a little bit, which makes me feel a little strange, I wonder if you can answer it for me? ”

"Your Majesty, please. Whoever knows about it will not hide it. Chen Fei said stiffly.

"Hehe, I've done the math, the income of your Chen Ji shop adds up, it seems... It's about to be on par with the treasury accounts? As he spoke, a trace of inexplicable taste flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

A seventeen-year-old boy, born in a peasant household, actually became rich in just two years, with five official residences, a hereditary title, and a princess, it is really incomprehensible to think about it carefully. Compared with his brilliant deeds, when he was young, it seemed... It's too useless, right? How much yin virtue did this guy accumulate in his previous life to get to where he is today?

Li Shimin was curious about Chen Fei's ability, but Chen Fei was so frightened by Li Shimin's words just now that his heart was beating wildly.

For no reason, why did Li Shimin suddenly pull his business group and the treasury together? Is it because you feel that you have earned too much and that your heart is unbalanced?

His eyelids jumped suddenly, and Chen Fei made a very wise choice, "Your Majesty, about Chen Ji's shop, the minister just has something to say." ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Come on. ”

"Your Majesty, although the world is peaceful now, there are still many places where the people do not have enough to eat and do not have warm clothes, and the minister is willing to share the worries for Your Majesty, and take out 50,000 taels of silver from the profits of Chen Ji's shop every year and hand it over to the treasury to relieve the poor people, and I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled."

"Oh?" Li Shimin glanced at Chen Fei in surprise, and immediately understood his thoughts, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a treacherous smile: "Fifty thousand? I remember that two months ago, you bought a house from Cheng Zhijie, how much is it worth? Kindness? Twenty thousand or thirty thousand? ”

No way! Old fox! If you think I'm less, just say it directly, what does it mean to set my words? Chen Fei cursed secretly in his heart, sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give 80,000." ”

"Huh? Eighty thousand? Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, but still didn't say anything, that angry look, Chen Fei couldn't wait to step forward and strangle him.

"One hundred thousand!" Chen Fei's heart was dripping blood, and he said bitterly: "Your Majesty, there really can't be more, no matter how many ministers there are, they are poor, the kind that needs help from the imperial court." ”

"You? Pick up a fart! If you need help from the court, then there are no rich people in the world, and I should go to the streets to ask for food! ”

Chen Fei smiled bitterly. Fortunately, Li Shimin finally let him go, "Zicheng, remember your promise, 100,000 taels of silver, I thank you for the people of Datang." ”

"Your Majesty, by all means, minister... Well deserved! ”

Anyway, Li Shimin is so shrewd, why is the daughter he gave birth to a little stupid? Chen Fei was a little depressed in his heart, thinking that the last time Linchuan gave away 20,000 worth of silver without blinking his eyes, he wanted to hit the wall.

What's even more desperate is that today Li Shimin cheated him for another 100,000 taels of silver, which is still a long-term pit, and it is settled every year. He only felt his heart dripping blood.

One hundred thousand taels of silver! Now you can buy five sets of houses you live in, and you have to hand them over to the state for nothing! I can't live this day, I can't live!

Contrary to Chen Fei's gloom, Li Shimin earned an annual income of 100,000 taels of silver for the treasury for no reason, he seemed very happy, in order to express the excitement in his heart, he also deliberately walked down from the sofa, patted Chen Fei on the shoulder and encouraged: "Young man, money is something outside the body, just enough to spend, too much is useless, it is better to do more good deeds, I think, how about 150,000?" ”

"Plop!" Chen Fei rolled his eyes and fainted directly.......
