Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 372;

Chapter 370;

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was getting hotter and hotter, Li Yu sat down to eat and drink again, regardless of what the lively civil and military ministers said.

Yu Chigong went out to offer a round of toasts, his face turned red after eating, he came back proudly and sat down, talking to Li Yu with his unique "small voice";

"Nephew, uncle doesn't understand your business of tea foam this time, but uncle has already prepared everything you need.

I asked my servants to take out the more than 100 bolts of silk that His Majesty bestowed on my uncle over the years, and they were all brand new, without any dust, so they were clean.

When your convoy leaves, you can take it with you. In addition, the old man has prepared all the money and silks left in the mansion, carefully sorted them out, weighed them, checked the number, and there are still 7 More than ten thousand.

You have to let me join in as a part of it, nephew, the old man had had wine with the elder brother of the Li family more than a dozen times before, so there is nothing to say about their friendship. He slept in a tent for several months. If you don’t believe me, just go Inquire about your two uncles, see if I'm lying? "

Li Yu ate the roast mutton in his mouth, nodded quickly, and agreed vaguely;

"I believe it, I believe my nephew believes it."

Seeing that Li Yu believed his words, Yuchi continued happily;

"You have to take care of uncle once. Last time about the liquor, I just wanted to get more people in. The one you ordered was too little..."

Although Yu Chigong's voice was lowered a lot, it was still heard clearly by many people. Yu Chigong was still talking, and Li Yu was nodding. Niu Xiu, who went out to clink glasses, suddenly turned around and shouted. one sound;
"Hey, you old man, what are you talking about with Li Dalang while I'm out having a drink with all the brothers, sneaking around?"

"Oh, you are talented, just go to drink yourself. The old man told Li Dalang whether there is something to improve in the craftsmanship of these cooks."

Niu Xiu drank the white wine in the glass in one breath, and said with a disgusted expression;

"Who are you lying to, your voice can even be heard by His Majesty sitting above, and you still want to quibble?"

"What's the old man's sophistry, nephew, how is the cooking of today's meat dishes? Can your cooks improve?"

Li Yu was still chewing on the mutton, and nodded when he heard the words, and took another bowl of water to drink. Niu Jinda walked directly to the middle of the hall and said loudly;
"Listen, brothers, this old man can't even tell a lie, and he still pretends to be a good one. Brother, did you hear what this man said just now?"

The one being questioned by Niu Jinda was General Zuo Xiaowei Duan Zhixian. General Duan stroked his three-inch beard and looked at Yu Chigong with a smile;
"Brother Yuchi, just now I told Li Dalang that I want to sneak in some more people and ask Li Dalang to accommodate me a little bit. Brother, I'm not wrong. Your voice can be heard in half the hall, and I guess your Majesty will I heard it, don't hide it, brother."

Yu Chigong was caught straight on the spot, and defended with his neck stuck;
"I just want to get some more people in. It's not a big deal, so why don't you dare to say it? Besides, the old brothers also know that my ancestors were born in the general family, but my generation has declined.

My foundation is even weaker here, and I was also thinking, get some people to accumulate a little family property for future generations, brothers in the family, please forgive me, please forgive me, if you forgive me..."

Yu Chigong stood up while speaking, clasping his fists in all directions to salute, causing all the civil and military officials in the hall to stand up and return the salute.

Duan Zhixian didn't have any malicious intentions at first, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect this irritable idiot to speak politely, and his posture was so low that he felt embarrassed;
"Brother Yuchi, what are you talking about? I also know about your brothers. It's not a big deal to join in. They are all brothers in need who have fought all the way. I can still be jealous of you, little brother. It's okay, it's okay... "

Who in the hall doesn't know that this idiot is His Majesty's number one thug, his confidant, besides, he has indeed been friends with him for more than ten years. Apart from his bad temper, this Yuchi Old Hei has no shortcomings.
It is indeed the poorest of the crowd, and it is understandable to get some extra money in. It is not a good idea to offend people by saying some unsightly things at this time.

So many people expressed their approval and comforted Yu Chigong. Seeing that everyone agreed to support his actions, Yu Chigong was also very excited, but he has a straightforward personality, and he doesn't know what to say. In that way, come out and thank you.

It's just a fierce man as tall as a bear, and the erratic behavior of a scholar of literati caused a roar of laughter, and Cheng Yaojin's tears choked out of his smile;
"I said you are an old killer, you are a reckless man who doesn't know much Chinese characters, why are you pretending to be a gentleman, those who don't know think you are the prime minister of the three provinces?

You said that you are a general who fights in battle, go to learn how to behave like a gentleman, and you can't drink when you look at me.

From my brother's point of view, you'd better take some time to look for the eighteen bachelors, pick a few with solid foundations, study them carefully, and then do the ceremony.

How about I recommend Kong Jijiu to you, or Yu Xuexue, or this way, since the eighteen scholars are here today, you just say it, which one do you want to learn from, the younger brother will also give up this face today, here it is for you How about being a referrer?what!Ha ha ha ha! "

Yu Chigong also felt that his manners were different, and he was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't feel comfortable being told by the demon king in public, so he spat fiercely in the direction of Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong said throat

"You know a lot of characters? It's not necessarily a few more than my old black, don't think I don't know, your Analects of Confucius, from last year to this year,
Tell people all day long to cultivate one's morality at home, supplement knowledge, which one to fool?I'm afraid one out of ten didn't understand it, so who doesn't know?I bother……"

Li Shimin, who was sitting at the head, had indeed heard some of Yu Chigong's words. He liked this loyal thug very tightly, and he was desperately loyal to hit wherever he pointed.

Otherwise, he would not just reward a bunch of things at every turn. Seeing everyone laughing at Yu Chigong, Li Shimin spoke with a smile;
"Uncle Li, although Jingde's family has been generals for generations, they are all pure-hearted and ascetic. Let’s make a special case, allow him to invest more money into it, and ask him to accumulate some property for future generations.”

Li Yu stood up and answered;

"Abiding by the order, don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister knows it well, and will definitely arrange it properly, and don't ask for too much extra."

"Well, that's very good. You've been in Chang'an City for a few days. I'm afraid you haven't been to the Ministry of Household Affairs yet, have you?"

"Your Majesty, I am about to go to the palace tomorrow to greet the empress, and then I will go to the household department to meet with the chief doctor of the warehouse department to discuss some important matters.

Today, the queen empress also came to the prime minister's mansion, and the minister just went to ask for her, so I will go directly to the household department tomorrow. "

Li Shimin nodded and looked around the hall;
"Is Lu Qing's family from Cangbu Division here?"

Lu Jishan, who was sitting in the northeast corner talking with his friends, stood up and bowed to salute when he heard the emperor's call;

"The minister is here, Your Majesty, please give me instructions, and I will listen to you with all my ears."

Li Shimin stretched out a hand and pressed it down;
"Sit down at Lu Qing's house. You can just sit down and talk. Today is the gathering of old brothers from Tiance Mansion in the past. You don't need to be polite if there are no outsiders."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Jishan sat down upright, and stopped talking to his brother. Looking at the emperor above him, Li Shimin put away his smile and said seriously;

"I also know that Lu Qing's family is cautious in doing things, careful and careful, and has never made any mistakes. Therefore, I entrust the important task of the Cangbu Division to Aiqing. Li Xianbo brews spirits, and the Cangbu Division is in charge of the warehouse In the future, he will also be responsible for the important affairs of the world's rich households selling wine.

You and the two of you should get closer and closer in the future, you must go hand in hand, don't have any disagreements, which will lead to the destruction of the court. I am not talking about any of you, but I am speaking from a fair standpoint In other words, you and the two of you should think twice before acting. "

Both stood up to receive the order, glanced at each other and nodded, then sat down again, Li Shimin stared at Li Yu, and then talked about the sale of tea foam;
"The imperial court has never been involved in the sale of your iron tea pot, and I don't want to say much about it, but the imperial court has half of the profit in the matter of liquor, so I'm not afraid of you calling me long-winded.

Let me tell you again, the sale of tea leaves and iron pots can be put on hold temporarily, and the matter of liquor should be cleared up first before talking about other things. Greed, and spoiled the great affairs of the court. "

"Yes, I know the priorities, and I will never delay the important affairs of the court and put the cart before the horse. However, I think that the matter of liquor cannot be delayed and must continue, but the tea iron pot and the sale of silk cannot be stopped either.

It can be prepared at the same time, so that you can buy some properties for your uncles and leave them to future generations. If you go to the uncles who are concerned about the important things of your children and grandchildren, I think that when your uncles are loyal to the king's court, you can also feel at ease and have less worries. I don't know. What does His Majesty think? "

Li Shimin just nodded, before he could speak, Yu Chigong stood up first;
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister feels that what Li Dalang said really speaks to the heart of the minister. The old minister is not afraid of death when he goes to battle to kill the enemy. In this life, he will swear allegiance to His Majesty to repay the kindness of the king.

The only thing that the veteran is thinking about is the affairs of the descendants. He is worried that the descendants will not be able to manage the business and will be poor, so he has concerns.

Of course, with His Majesty taking care of him, the minister is also worrying about it blindly, but if he can accumulate some family wealth for future generations, His Majesty can also worry less.

After settling the issue of the future generations' property, the old minister can return his body wrapped in horse leather with peace of mind. Even if he dies in the battle, he can still smile. Please learn from Your Majesty. "

Although Niu Xiu said that his father had been the boss, but his family was not much better than Yu Chi Gong, upon hearing this, he immediately stood up;

"Your Majesty, what General Yuchi said is exactly what I have in mind, and I also agree with what Li Dalang is doing, but the sale of baijiu must be the most important thing. You can prepare some other affairs when you don't delay baijiu. Your Majesty, please learn from me."

Most of the people who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today are upstarts. Unlike those wealthy families who have settled down for hundreds of years, there is no one who is not short of money. After hearing what the two said, more than half stood up and agreed with the attitude of supporting the two guards. .

Li Shimin also knew that if he wanted to make the horse run, he had to give the horse a reason, so he stretched out his hands and pressed down in midair;

"Sit down, old brothers, sit down and talk."

After listening to the emperor's words, everyone sat down again and looked at the emperor above.

Li Shimin looked it over carefully, all the civil and military officials in the hall, especially those more than 20 who did not participate in the first liquor brewing business, Li Shimin knew in his heart that if they were excluded again, it would be a big hidden danger.

The same faction from the Tiance Mansion can't get into chaos first. Last time, Li Dalang did something wrong and didn't inform the civil and military personnel of the Tiance Mansion properly. This time, no one can be left behind. Thinking of this, Li Shimin continued with a relaxed face;

"I also know the family backgrounds of the brothers, and I have known it for a long time, so today, I am here to make it clear, so that the old brothers can feel at ease.

In the future business of baijiu, as long as they are from Tiance Mansion, no matter whether they are literary or martial arts, they can join in and get a piece of the pie.

However, if you earn more or less, it depends on Li Xianbo's ability. Don't make less money, or lose some money, and if you are unhappy, come to me to complain, that's not okay. "

Li Shimin's relaxed words immediately made the atmosphere in the hall passionate again. Everyone was happy in their hearts, and many generals laughed.

Even Lu Jishan felt warm in his heart. He was not happy about the baijiu incident last time because he was not involved in it. He was also from the Tiance Mansion. The remaining [-] or [-] families did not raise a large sum of money. .

Tell them, who were originally the second column of Tiance Mansion, not to be in a hurry, it's not about how much money they earn,

If you can't enter this business circle with His Majesty as the core, it means that you don't have the heart of the emperor and you don't get favor.

In the era of divine right of kings, this is a very dangerous signal. Without the favor and trust of His Majesty the Emperor, his family will surely decline rapidly.

This time, His Majesty finally thought of the remaining dozens of them, and made a public decision that all of them will be eligible to participate in the future. The heads of these dozens of families all let out a sigh of relief.

Everyone has a smile on their faces, who thinks that money is too much?What's more, there is His Majesty's grace and trust in it!

There are more than 1000 civil and military members in the Manchu Dynasty. Those who can step into this circle are only these people. It is a great honor to be able to participate in it...

Li Yu also had admiration for Li Shimin. He found that Li Shimin could often mobilize a group of civil and military officials with passion and motivation with a few casual words.

Speaking of which, it added to the favor of some important ministers. In fact, Li Yu also knew in his heart that the more people invested, the greater the capital, so there is no doubt that the benefits obtained would also be greater.

He blatantly took out the money in the pockets of the ministers, and made a group of ministers dance happily, as if they were as happy as farts.

Li Yu didn't say a word, and secretly laughed happily. With more capitalists following him, he would be able to mobilize more resources to do bigger business in the future.

What to do in the future will not be as difficult as before. If there is a lot of response in the future, I will worry about not being the richest man in Datang...
