Li Su saw Yang Kang's sincere appearance, and his heart was also very moved, he said: "Yang Kang, you are a military general, follow me to delay your future." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Yang Kang said: "Lord Wang, the minister doesn't want any future, just want to follow the prince, and being able to be with you is the future of the minister." ”

The captain of the guard beside Li Yu, that is, the position of the pawn army, is the highest official position from the seventh grade, Yang Kang is already the sixth grade, it is really difficult to arrange, he doesn't want to wronged Yang Kang, so he didn't agree for a while.

Seeing that Li was not angry, Yang Kang was a little anxious. Huang Qi was originally the secretary of Liang Wangfu and Yang Kang's top boss, and he said to Huang Qi: "My lord, you can say something for me." ”

Huang Qi was also a little moved by Yang Kang's performance, and he said, "Lord Wang, you can leave him behind." The minister knows that you don't want to wronged him, and you can be flexible about your official position. ”

Li Su was also accustomed to Yang Kang by his side, and he said: "Okay, I'll go and talk to Chen Guogong (Hou Junji), let you be named with him, and your official position can be regarded as a person in the forbidden army." Just follow me. However, you don't need to receive your salary in the forbidden army, and give it to your superiors. ”

What he meant was to reserve a position for Yang Kang in the forbidden army, and the salary was given to Shangguan, and everyone was happy.

Yang Kang was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Lord Wang, thank you for joining the army." ”

In the following days, Li Su spent most of his time in the research institute, and his main work was to guide the construction of the industrial city and compile the teaching materials of the industrial school. The days passed peacefully.

During this period, the eldest grandson Chong and An Ning got married, and Du He also married Tian Zhen.

In a blink of an eye, this is the second Spring Festival that Li Su has spent in Datang.

Today, it is Li Su's last day to work at the institute before the Spring Festival. He wasn't going to work today, so he gathered the staff of the institute for a small meeting.

Huang Qi presided over the meeting. He said: "Gather everyone here today, two things, one is the New Year, everyone has worked hard for a year, and the prince means to give everyone a New Year's greeting in advance." ”

When he said this, Li Su stood up, bowed his hand to everyone, and gave them a New Year's greeting. Everyone also paid New Year's greetings to him.

Next, Huang Qi said: "The second thing is to give out red envelopes. ”

Everyone has heard about the red envelope in advance, and they have been looking forward to it for a long time. The benefits in the institute are the best in Datang, and they are more generous than the household department that manages money and food. At the end of each month, the institute will send a small red envelope, and there are differences in the number of positions according to the rank, but everyone has a share. Even the cleaning handymen are no exception.

Usually, there are more than a dozen kinds of allowances, overtime pay, full attendance awards, cold protection (agency) expenses, car subsidies, etc., and everyone is too lazy to calculate. Anyway, a red envelope solves the problem. The institute is paid more than three times the average salary in other departments.

Where does the money come from?

At the beginning, Li Shimin approved 1,500 yuan (1,000 taels of silver) for the establishment of the institute, but Li Su returned it, and he had to pay for his own profits and losses.

The Institute's main source of income is the technology transfer fee derived from the sale of products in the Industrial City. For all products launched by the Institute, the Institute must extract 10% of the total price as a technology transfer fee. That's a lot of income.

There are more than 30 people in the research institute, and the per capita output value is definitely one of the highest units in Datang. Therefore, Li Su changed the law to pay benefits.

Many units in the imperial court have opinions on research, but no one has the ability to dare to take responsibility for their own profits and losses, so they can only watch and watch.

This red envelope is a year-end bonus, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Huang Qi said: "Now, give out the year-end bonus. ”

Li Ning'er, the accounting director of the research institute, commanded two subordinate accountants to bring in a large box, and then said: "Brother Liang Wang said that this year's year-end bonus is 10 months' salary. I called to the one by name to pick it up. ”

Hearing Li Ning'er's words, everyone was excited. It's all over in a moment.

After the meeting ended, Yang Kang led people to carry several large boxes to see the crown prince Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian is the nominal director of the institute, and he naturally has a share of the year-end bonus.

Li Chengqian left a copy for him, and then carried several large boxes to see Li Shimin.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

Li Shimin is in a very good mood this year, the grassland has basically been calmed, there has been a bumper grain harvest, the army generals have been rationally resettled, and major matters have basically been resolved. In all these years, I have never felt so relaxed.

Not only that, since the establishment of the industrial city, the sales revenue of industrial products has opened his eyes. At present, 11 light industrial products have been launched in the industrial city, and 8 cement factories have been opened nationwide, and the income from these industrial products alone is worth more than 10% of Datang's agricultural taxes.

Li Su once talked to Li Shimin about the prospects for the development of industry and commerce, saying that when the development of industry and commerce reaches a certain scale, the agricultural tax can be completely abolished. Li Shimin was very excited after listening to it.

Since ancient times, all political regimes have been supported by agricultural taxes, and if the agricultural tax can be abolished, it will be a great achievement.

This year, the imperial court's financial revenues have improved greatly, and his personal disposable income has also increased considerably. The treasury of the Internal Affairs Office (Neifu) is not as empty as in previous years, and he, Li Shimin, does not need to cut down on food and clothing. The lives of the concubines in the harem are much better.

Not long ago, the head of the inner government asked whether the share (salary) of the concubines would increase this year. With a stroke of Li Shimin's pen, all of them doubled, and it was a good time to have money.

At this time, Li Shimin was talking with the Chinese scholar Lang Cen Wenwen in the study, arranging the trivial matters of the previous year, and heard that the crown prince Li Chengqian asked to see him, so he let him in.

"Father." Li Chengqian saluted Li Shimin.

"Cheng Qian, are you here for something today?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian said: "It's the New Year, and the institute's income this year has some surplus, so the son and the sixth brother discussed it and decided to take it out to honor their father, so that their father should not be so frugal during the New Year." ”

"Oh? Okay, it's rare for you to have this filial piety. How many are there? Li Shimin asked happily.

Li Chengqian shouted outside, "Bring it in." ”

The eunuchs brought in six large chests from the outside, and opened them all. Five of the boxes were full of copper coins, and one was full of miscellaneous items.

Li Chengqian pointed to the box and said, "This is 100,000 copper yuan, and this is some small gifts." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, your research institute has a good life." ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "This is the saving of the sons and the sixth brothers, and it is a little bit of the hearts of the sons." This is the first time Li Chengqian has joked in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin smiled: "You boys, are you still frugal on food and clothing? Do you know how many people have sued you, saying that your institute is guilty of corruption by indiscriminately distributing bonuses? ”
