Although Li Shimin was put on the table by the ministers, this did not affect his mood too much.

The reason is that Li Zhi has just given him the dividends at the end of the year.

Although the sales volume of boilers is not large, its profits are too high.

The steel used in the small boiler priced at 5,000 guan is about 150 catties.

The steel and processing fees add up to a little more than two dollars.

Even with the addition of matching pipes and several sets of cast iron radiators, it is only the cost of three or four dollars.

Such boilers are usually used in the guest rooms of wealthy families.

The area is too large and there are many people coming and going, so the average honeycomb stove simply can't meet the heating demand.

Further up are the boilers that cost 8,000 and 10,000 yuan.

Such boilers are used to heat the backyards of large households.

Generally, it can meet the heating demand of hundreds to thousands of square meters.

The specific installation depends on how many concubines these people have married.

During this period of the year, Li Zhi sold a total of more than 50 sets of boilers, and together he earned more than 300,000 yuan.

Li Zhi directly gave 150,000 of them to Li Shimin, which made him so beautiful that he could wake up laughing even from a dream.

This son didn't hurt in vain!

I didn't spend a penny, I got fifty percent of the dry shares for nothing, not to mention, the dividends were given so happily.

150,000! It's about the same as the money in your own private vault.

This is just the beginning of how many can be so many, so how many will come down this year?

Li Shimin was counting the money with his fingers, and many other people were similar to him.

In the silk business, Li Zhi only kept forty percent of the shares, and all the rest were half-sold and half-given to others.

Li Zhi's purpose was only to attract more people to share the pressure that might come from the clan side.

Therefore, when he first raised shares, he did not pick those who were close to him.

He gave the same opportunity to all the top officials in the DPRK and China.

Among them are Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Hou Junji.

Therefore, in the end, there were more than 30 shareholders in the silk business.

On average, each person can get one hundredth, two percent.

This time, Li Zhi gave them one or two hundred thousand yuan each.

It's all cash, much more than the silk, grain, and the like.

Therefore, in the past few days at the end of the year, Li Zhi can get a sincere smile every time he sees these people.

Even Hou Junji, who had been targeting Li Zhi, was rarely polite to him.

Li Shimin was happy, and his work became more atmospheric.

On the day of the Spring Festival, he directly arranged for the people of Chang'an City to gather for three days.

This made the people of Chang'an City very happy.

The changes in Chang'an City this year have brought them a lot of benefits.

First of all, the prosperity of commerce has made some merchants earn a lot more.

Subsequently, the handicraft industry led by Li Zhi also gave many ordinary people more opportunities to make money.

There are also honeycomb stoves that can be paid in installments so that they don't have to freeze in the winter.

Then there is the road in Chang'an City, all of which have been built into concrete roads.

This allowed them to completely get rid of the mud caused by the rain and snow.

As a result, the people who were in a happy mood came out of their homes one after another, calling for friends, and became lively.

After Li Zhi attended the family banquet in the palace, he took Liu An, Chai Long and Duan Shizi to the camp of the Dragoon.

He'd had had a lot of fresh meat, vegetables, and spirits brought here.

Tonight, he will celebrate the Spring Festival with the soldiers here.

In addition to celebrating the Spring Festival, Li Zhi had another purpose, which was to give them the order to attack Tuyuhun.

Since the beginning of this year, Tuyuhun has been harassing the border of Datang on various grounds.

Such behavior has already aroused great dissatisfaction among Li Shimin.

However, Tuyuhun is located at the northern end of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is a high-altitude area, so the Tang Dynasty army was extremely unsuitable for fighting here.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Datang punishes the other party a little, and then continues to take a defensive position.

In this way, Tuyuhun became more and more emboldened, and there were more and more offenses.

Li Zhi had just asked Li Shimin for instructions at the family banquet and was ready to send the dragoons to Tuyuhun to carry out combat missions.

The most basic purpose is to ensure that Tuyuhun no longer has the guts to invade Datang.

If it goes well, you can also take advantage of the situation and try to eliminate Tuyuhun.

In the cafeteria of the Dragoons, a group of Dragoon officers led by Su Lie were sitting with Li Zhi.

The other fighters were a dozen people at a table.

Today we are eating hot pot here, so the aroma of hot pot wafts everywhere in the whole cafeteria.

Li Zhi gave the task to Su Lie while eating hot pot.

After explaining the task, Li Zhi instructed Su Lie: "Tuyuhun is located on the plateau, although it is not as harsh as Tubo, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to adapt to it for a while. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at everyone solemnly and said, "Therefore, this king orders that you and other early targets must be based on adaptation, and must not engage in large-scale frontal battles with the enemy. ”

Su Lie and the others nodded yes.

Then Su Lie spoke: "Your Highness, can I wait for this time to go?" Are there any other allies in response? ”

Li Zhidao: "There is no time limit, but it should not be too long, and now the Tubo side also covets Tuyuhun, so you must fight quickly if you have the opportunity to win Tuyuhun." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Before the war of annihilation is launched, the Tang Dynasty will not have any army to meet you and others, so all material supplies need to be solved by yourself. ”

Su Lie's eyes froze after listening to Li Zhi's words.

Then he said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely take Tuyuhun when I go here to repay His Highness's cultivation." ”

The others also said in unison: "I will wait to take Tuyuhun to the death to repay His Highness's cultivation." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "This is mainly for military training, and as a general, you must focus on protecting the lives of soldiers, and you must not be greedy for merit." ”

Su Lie stood up and saluted, "The last general will follow the teachings of His Highness, and will definitely do his best to preserve the combat strength of the dragoons." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said: "In this way, this king will rest assured, you can start after today, and this king will not come to you to practice." ”

Su Lie said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Li Zhi stayed in the dragoon camp for a while, then handed the tiger talisman in his hand to Su Lie and returned to the palace.

Early the next morning, the dragoons quietly left the camp.

Chang'an City is more than five hundred miles away from Liangzhou, and even at the speed of the dragoons, it would take six or seven days to reach it.

It was their first mission, so the young warriors had a look of excitement on their faces.

The long training and previous drills have given them great confidence in their own strength.

This self-confidence will soon translate into their combat power.

It also prompted them to become a devilish army that terrified the entire Tugu in the near future.
