Hearing Li Kuan's words, Mingyu on the bed turned slightly red, and hurriedly said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to live such a good life." ”

In Mingyu's eyes, the reason why he and Minglan were able to live so well was all due to Li Kuan.

She knew herself clearly.

On behalf of the Chu Wangfu to participate in the gatherings of various wealthy nobles in Chang'an City, the reason why she can sit at the table is that she can chat with the wives of those wealthy families, and is complimented, and the reason why she is praised is not how powerful she is Mingyu, but purely because she represents Li Kuan, represents the Chu Palace, and because the Chu Wangfu can deter the world, she will be respected, otherwise, people will not allow her to sit at the main table as a concubine from a maid.

What's more, Mingyu didn't feel that Li Kuan had anything to be sorry for him.

Li Kuan also has a share of the gifts that Li Kuan gives to other women during the New Year's holidays, even if she is half a Tang Dynasty apart, Li Kuan will let people send it to her.

In addition, when she celebrates her birthday, Li Kuan will inevitably give a gift.

The only few times I went back to the Chu Palace, I must have been with her room.

"Okay, let's talk about personal matters."

"Mingyu, what do you want?"

Li Kuan asked with a smile.

Want that? Mingyu thought about it, blushed and whispered, "I want to give birth to a daughter." ”

Eh, Li Kuan raised his eyebrows, interesting, why do you want to give birth to a daughter.

With the relationship between Mingyu and Minglan, he must know about him, but he just wants to have a daughter, which is a bit inconsistent with normal people's thinking.

Mingyu explained in a low voice: "It's good to give birth to a daughter, don't worry about any danger to her, just marry her to a good family." ”

"My sister and I have saved a lot of money over the years, and we can also prepare a thick dowry for our daughter."

"But if he gives birth to a son, he has to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, and how thick his family background is when he marries a daughter-in-law will not be enough."

"And it's still a concubine, if it's early, it will affect family life."

Okay, Li Kuan understood Mingyu's thoughts, he felt that he had to say that Mingyu was really a little clever ghost, after thinking about it, Li Kuan smiled and said, "Okay, then when we come back, we will work hard and strive to give birth to a little county lord." ”

Li Kuan knew that Mingyu and Minglan were accumulating money for themselves.

The second daughter has always had the habit of accumulating her own monthly example and the rewards given by Li Kuan.

Over the years, the second daughter has also invested a lot because Mingyu presided over part of the business of the Chu Palace, and she has also engaged in some industries, although it is not as good as those big businessmen, but she has indeed made a lot of money.

At the very least, the second daughter successfully owned a house of her own in Chang'an City.

Li Kuan is not angry or angry about this, this is what some wealthy ladies will do.

Nothing else, just to leave a way back for yourself.

After all, there are times when they find it too difficult to ask for money from men.

In Li Kuan's eyes, this is the practice of smart people.

Economic independence can make everything independent, and if the economy is not independent, everything will not be independent.

Laughing and chatting with Mingyu for a while, after reassuring him again, Li Kuan walked towards his study.

When Li Kuan came, Minglan and Wu Mei were tidying up the study.

Take some of the books down, check them for damage, and put them back in.

Seeing Li Kuan come in, the second daughter greeted with a smile, and Li Kuan handed the paper written by Mingyu to Minglan.

"Go and get me the information of these factories, and I'll take a closer look."

Wu Mei looked at him suspiciously, why did Li Kuan still have to adjust the factory information.

"Do you want to check the accounts?"

"Do you need our help?"

"You make a move, if you find out that there is too much problem, it will not end well, we can also help you carry some of the pressure."

In Wu Mei's opinion, if Li Kuan wants to check the accounts, then he has to deal with it in person, in case he offends anyone, it will be bad.

If they go to investigate, find out the problem, and solve it, even if the other party is dissatisfied, they will come at them, not at Li Kuan, then there is still room for relaxation.

Shaking his head, Li Kuan said firmly: "It's not an audit, it's something else." ”

"I have to salute before I soldier."

When Li Kuan spoke, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and finally he said solemnly: "There are some things that I have to do in person." ”

Li Kuan said so, and Wu Mei naturally stopped interjecting.

Minglan quickly retrieved the information of these two dozen factories.

After Li Kuan carefully investigated, he sneered: "Li Tai and Li Ke, these two guys are either concealing or really waste." ”

More than 20 factories have the same problem, the output is declining year by year, and the quality is not very good.

The data that Minglan brought was the most detailed, including production records over the years.

Wu Mei glanced at it curiously, and said suspiciously: "Is there a possibility that in the eyes of corruption, or the goods of these two factories were put into the market by them alone and sold to others?" ”

"After all, the goods in these more than 20 markets seem to be very large, but they are not big when they are thrown into the market, and they can't have any impact."

"Isn't there also a family that also swept up some unknown materials in Datang?"

Li Kuan nodded, agreeing with her words.

"Possibly."

"But I think maybe they sold it to Tibet."

Li Kuan said that if he remembered correctly, Lu Dongzan was in the Tang Dynasty ten years ago, about six or seven years ago.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, these factories began to enter a situation of annual decline in output.

The annual decline is not too large, about 10 percent.

The reasons are also bizarre.

Such as bad weather and so on.

The person in charge of the audit also wrote at the bottom that there was smuggling, but considering that it was the main industry under the names of the two princes, and the others didn't care, they didn't go to the inventory.

When Wu Mei heard Li Kuan say about Tubo, she frowned: "Then what's the difference between them and betraying the country." ”

"The Tibetans attacked us suddenly, not us to provoke them."

Wu Mei said that she couldn't understand it when she was safe.

Li Kuan sighed and said with a headache: "So I'm going to do it myself." ”

"Later, I will let the royal family personally lead the team to investigate and cut off this part of the smuggling."

"Give Lu Dongzan a double heaven of ice and fire."

"Make him angry and helpless."

Li Kuan's expression when he thought of Lu Dongzan's expression when he received the money bank account he gave him almost at the same time, and the news that Li Tai and Li Ke's factory were investigated, it must be very exciting.

It may or may not be particularly exciting.

Li Kuan sent a message to the royal family in Chang'an City, asking Li Xiaogong's son to personally lead the team to investigate.

Li Kuan then sent a message to the prefectures and counties close to Tibet, asking them to strictly investigate the smuggling situation.

And Lu Dongzan also received the news at about the same time.

first got the money bank account given by Li Kuan in confusion, and then received the news that Li Tai and Li Ke's factories were investigated, and he was even more puzzled.

Why is that?

Beat a stick to give a sweet date?
