Using the tribute of silk to make fishing line, the whole Tang Dynasty can do it with Li Shen, a loser. Li Shen's idea is very simple, it is to be strong.

Then Li Shen took Li Shimin and Li Chengqian back to his manor with the fish, and instructed the kitchen to stew the fish head in a big pot, and then clean up the fish body and barbecue it.

Li Shen himself went to take a bath and change clothes, while Li Shimin and the prince walked around the manor, and finally went up to the platform on the second floor, sat on a rocking chair and drank tea and admired the birds and flowers of the river.

It is June and July, and spring flowers are blooming. Many trees were transplanted by Li Shen on both sides of the river.

"It's nice here." Li Shimin sighed, a cup of tea in the afternoon, clear his heart and relieve fatigue, so that his mental state is full.

"Yes, Lao Shi will really enjoy it." Li Chengqian also sighed.

"Anyway, I'll enjoy it." Li Shen's voice broke the two of them.

As soon as Li Shen, who had finished washing and changing his clothes, arrived on the second floor when he heard Li Chengqian say that he would enjoy it.

"You're not enjoying it yet, I don't want to leave here." Li Shimin shot back

"Aya, why don't I build you a house like mine in Nanhai or Beihai in the palace, and then Aya can sit on the second floor every day, drink tea, watch the songs, or read books." Li Shen was really afraid that Li Shimin would ask him for this manor on a whim, what could he do.

"That's a good feeling, since our King Ji is so filial, then I can only be disrespectful. Hahaha" Li Shimin accepted with a laugh.

"Tenth brother, why don't you give the eldest brother a house too." Li Chengqian on the side also came up.

Li Shen rolled his eyes at Li Chengqian.

"The East Palace doesn't have such a big lake, what do you want a house for? Besides, you don't have time to be so comfortable.

Big brother, now should be the time to study the government and politics well, and you can't be half-hearted and lose your mind. The future of the Tang Dynasty will depend on you. ”

What was Li Shen thinking about? Fight local tyrants and divide the land? Build a building for Li Shimin, because he is afraid that this father will rob his manor. You Xiao Li still want to take advantage of me, what do you want?

Li Chengqian's face was full of embarrassment after hearing this, but Li Shen was secretly happy next to him, Xiao Xiang still wanted to rob me of money, if I don't give you small shoes, you can burn incense.

Li Shimin looked at the two brothers and was very relieved in his heart, in fact, because Li Shimin had made mistakes, the last thing he wanted to see was fratricide. He is also most afraid that his son will follow his example.

What he is most satisfied with is Li Chengqian's attitude towards his younger brothers and sisters, at least Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne, and Li Shimin's sons can get a good death.

"Okay, Gao Ming, Lao Shi is right, what you need to do now is to learn how to deal with government affairs."

Li Chengqian could only nod helplessly.

Li Shen also sat down, poured himself a glass, took a sip and sighed:

"A person, a cup of tea, a book, a red face, a handful of ashes, a lifetime."

"Hmph, at a young age, swept by old-fashioned all day long, how old are you to sigh about life." Li Shimin also took a sip of tea and said disdainfully

"Aya, I'm not lamenting life, this is my ideal, a cup of tea in the afternoon, a book, and a sleep when I'm sleepy. No troubles, no sorrows. How wonderful. ”

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian did not speak, silently understanding the meaning of Li Shen's words.

Li Shimin has read countless people, and of course he can hear what Li Shen said from the bottom of his heart.

This is also the most reassuring place for Li Shen, but it is also the most headache.

"By the way, Aya, I solved the matter of the fang, and the reward hasn't been given to me yet." Suddenly, Li Shen changed the topic, and the scene instantly changed from the song of birds and flowers to reality.

"What reward do you want?" Li Shimin asked vigilantly.

"I want 10,000 acres of land next to Weishui. I don't need good land, I can buy it with money. ”

"Tenth brother, what do you want to do in such a big place, and you don't want good land?" Li Chengqian asked

"I want to build a city near Weishui."

"A city?" Li Chengqian was surprised

"Why can't you build a house now? You will build a city. Why don't I sell you Chang'an City? ”

"Uh..... I can't afford it, it's not actually a city, I call it an industrial park. It is to build a lot of workshops in it, and bring them all together.

In the middle is the bazaar, which provides a place for merchants to trade, and is built next to Weishui to prepare for the construction of a wharf to facilitate shipments. ”

"Aye, in fact, I want to set up a chamber of commerce, which is the merchant gang, and include all the merchants in Datang.

We issue a Chamber of Commerce brand, and only people in the Chamber of Commerce will enjoy our membership services, and we only charge a fee. ”

"It's not easy to be a businessman in the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said that there are many businessmen in the Tang Dynasty, and there are also many businessmen and aristocratic families.

"It's okay, take your time, start with Chang'an, our main thing is to serve well, and we can also restrain businessmen not to deceive the people,

If someone cheats or buys or sells our members, we will also help out. ”

"What if your members are not members of the Chamber of Commerce who deceive." Li Chengqian wants to make a move.

"What does that have to do with us, lie to you, whoever makes you not a member of us." Li Shen said with a twitch of the corners of his mouth,

"And what if he reports to the police?" Li Chengqian did not give up.

"Big brother, we have about one hundred and twenty vice presidents. Who would dare to sue those scourges? Who would dare to take it? ”

"Li Shen, you actually said so justifiably in front of me about the law." Li Shimin was unwilling. Privilege is privilege, you have to say it.

"Aye, there's no way, this is the fastest way to recruit members."

"Well, I know your intentions, you can figure out your own ideas, or that sentence, don't make a big deal of it. Let me continue for you. ”

"Hey," Li Shen laughed twice

"I'll go back to Weishui to see if there is any wasteland, if there is, I'll reward you, if not, then you can buy it yourself, but it's better not to change the good land."

"Sheaya." Li Shen hurriedly thanked him.

"Lord Wang, it's time to eat." The stone came up to report

"Well, put the table here. We eat here. ”

Soon Li Shen's whole fish feast was served, and the brackets were completed in two dishes. One dish is stewed fish head, and the other dish is grilled fish.

Li Shen took out a bottle of good wine and gave it to Li Shimin, while he and Li Chengqian still drank fruit wine.

"Tenth brother, you said that you want to build a chamber of commerce, but it doesn't do you any good." In Li Chengqian's opinion, Li Shen would not do anything that was not beneficial.

"Lao Ten wants to collect taxes in disguise." Li Shimin took a sip of wine and said.

"It's very difficult to collect business taxes, especially the eunuchs of powerful families." Li Chengqian doesn't understand anything, of course he understands the power.

"Big brother, that's why I formed the Chamber of Commerce, first use our privileged class, give them convenient services, and we charge some fees. Let more people see the benefits of joining our chamber.

When the time is ripe, the chamber of commerce will be changed to state-owned, and in the future, the state will escort them, and we will charge them fees, and we can build roads and docks. Let them do business more quickly in the future.

We can even provide them with escorts to keep them safe. Many, many, I am asking Wang Xuance to write a plan.

I believe that waiting for the eldest brother to succeed to the throne can give you a complete organization of tens of millions of taxes a year. ”

"Tens of millions?"
