Man Tanghong

Chapter 51

The smile on Li Yuanji's face froze, and after a long time of trouble, he was still thinking about the food in my hand.

No wonder I disgust you so much, you didn't care about it, and even played the emotional card.

Seeing that the smile on Li Yuanji's face froze, Li Shimin immediately said: "I don't take your food for nothing, don't you need military achievements? The gains I made on the battlefield this time can be credited to your name.

To whom do you want to distribute the profit, you only need to give me a document, and I will seal it immediately. "

Li Shimin was talking about himself and the achievements of his guards in Prince Qin's Palace.

Li Shimin likes to personally lead troops to fight against the enemy on the battlefield. Every time he goes out to fight, he will lead his cavalry to charge once.

So after each battle, he gained a lot.

Li Shimin traded his gains.

Li Yuanji was a little tempted.

Li Shimin likes to poke the enemy's confidantes very much, so he can often catch big fish.

Those big fish are enough for him to find a few positions for the people under him.

But a few princes can't satisfy his appetite.

Li Shimin has been staring at the food in his hand, so can he push the boat along?

Li Yuanji said with emotion: "The little food in my hand is not enough to help the people in Hebei..."

Li Shimin saw that Li Yuanji was a little moved, and immediately said: "It's better than nothing."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Second brother will be satisfied with that amount of food?"

Li Shimin was taken aback, and looked at Li Yuanji suspiciously, "What does Shiro mean by that?"

Li Yuanji said frankly: "The big families have food in their hands, and we can definitely search for more food from them."

Li Shimin was taken aback for another moment, and a gleam of joy appeared on his face, "Shiro is preparing to..."

"No, no, I won't help you resell the official title."

Li Yuanji knew what Li Shimin was going to say, so he immediately denied it.

The joy on Li Shimin's face disappeared in an instant, and he said: "Si Lang is not willing to resell the official title, how else can he get food from the big family?"

Li Shimin was a little disappointed, but he heard something in Li Yuanji's words, so he asked this question.

In his opinion, apart from reselling the official ranks, there are very few ways to get food from the big families.

For the people in Hebei, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Since the second brother can't come forward to resell the official rank, but the second brother can make a balance."

Li Yuanji stopped talking and didn't say much.

With Li Shimin's wisdom, when he heard the word 'Ping Tiao', he would definitely be able to comprehend the meaning.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

Yes, it can be evenly tuned!

As long as he and Li Jiancheng continue to transfer officials from the Qi Palace, the Qi Palace will always have officials for sale.

Li Yuanji only resells the officials of Prince Qi's mansion, so he doesn't have to bear so much infamy.

Except for the official censor, no one would hold on to Li Yuanji.

Some people who benefited from Li Yuanji not only would not scold Li Yuanji, they might even praise Li Yuanji.

Because Li Yuanji provided them with a springboard.

A springboard to jump to him and Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuanji was notorious, and he had no chance to inherit Li Tang's position. People under Li Yuanji's subordinates would definitely be willing to jump under his or Li Jiancheng's command and strive to be ministers of the dragon.

Although Li Yuan had promised him the crown prince position, outsiders didn't know about it.

At that time, he can keep those who are capable and send those who are not capable to Li Jiancheng.

With Li Jiancheng's temperament, after understanding the stakes, even if he knew that those people were incompetent, he could only hold his nose and accept it.

The most important thing is that some of those aristocratic families who want to work for Li Tang, but can't bear face and airs, can use Li Yuanji as a springboard to become officials.

They can declare to the outside world that their official positions were bought, not gifted by Li Tang, and that they were officials under Li Tang's rule for the sake of the common people, not for Li Tang, and they were still high-ranking family members.

They earned face and put on airs.

Li Tang got food and talents.

Although Li Tang would be ruthlessly laughed at by them, since Li Tang established the country, they haven't said anything good, so it doesn't matter if they are laughed at again.

"Hahaha... Shiro has great wisdom."

Li Shimin immediately beamed with joy, and did not hesitate to praise himself.

In just one or two hours, Li Yuanji came up with a way to get food from the big family without damaging his reputation. It was really clever.

Li Yuanji smiled modestly: "Second brother was joking. Compared with second brother, my wisdom is nothing. The reason why I came up with the method of leveling is also inspired by second brother."

If Li Yuanji wanted to use this method to cheat Li Shimin, he definitely couldn't make Li Shimin think that he was smarter than Li Shimin.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would definitely stare at him to see what tricks he has behind his back.

"To have great wisdom is to have great wisdom. You and my brother don't need to hide it."

Li Shimin said grandly.

Li Yuanji thought 'hehe'.

It is because you are my brother that I should hide my wisdom all the more.

"Tell me, how do you divide the food you get?"

Li Shimin didn't care about Li Yuanji's psychological activities at all, he cared more about how to divide the spoils.

Li Yuanji pondered and asked, "How will the second brother plan to divide?"

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and made an eight sign, "Sell an official position, I am eight, you are two."

Li Yuanji was obviously taken aback.

Li Shimin refers to selling an official position, [-]% of it?

Then the food obtained by Ping Tiao does not need to be divided?

This...how is this so embarrassing.

Those people can give out tens of thousands of shi of grain for the position of an official in the Qi Wangfu.

For the position of officials in Prince Qin's Mansion and East Palace, they can offer more.

Earning a bit too much, Li Yuanji felt that with his own appetite, he might not be able to eat it.

This kind of thing can't be hidden, and Li Shimin will find out sooner or later.

When Li Shimin finds out about falling out with him, it's better to make it clear now.

"Second brother, I can't give you the food that sells officials."

"Um?!"

Li Shimin's eyes widened.

Good boy, do you dare to eat alone? !

There is no good end to eating alone, do you know that?
Li Yuanji saw what Li Shimin was thinking, and explained: "Second brother, I sold the officials of my mansion. I gave you the food, and your mansion quickly transferred people away from my mansion. Others will definitely see it." Make some tricks.

At that time, not only my reputation will be rotten.

The second brother's reputation will also be rotten along with it. "

Li Shimin frowned, the reason is indeed such a reason.

Li Yuanji gave him the food with his front foot, and he transferred people away with his back foot. Everyone can feel that there is something tricky in it.

"Although I can't give you the food for selling officials, I can share with the second brother fifty-fifty for the food for Ping Tiao."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin subconsciously opened his eyes wide, and said in astonishment: "Ping Tiao still needs food?"

Good guy, it's a bit cruel to eat two crops alone, isn't it?

"Ping Tiao needs food, of course. From my notorious Prince Qi's Mansion to the prestigious Prince Qin's Mansion, how can it be done without paying something?

They want to follow the second brother to reap benefits, neither willing to sacrifice their lives nor pay for food, why should the second brother lead them to reap the benefits? "

Li Yuanji said as it should.

Li Shimin nodded approvingly.

That's right, the threshold in his house is not that low, and it's not for anyone who wants to get in.

If those people want to follow him to reap benefits, they really should pay something.

If he refuses to pay, he has no reason to take those people to reap benefits.

It's a bit ruthless to eat two crops alone.

But what he ate was from a wealthy family, and he was happy to see the success.

"Siro's words are reasonable, but the fifty-fifty share is too little, isn't it?"

After Li Shimin understood the joints, he turned his attention to the share.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and said, "How is Second Brother going to divide it?"

Li Shimin said decisively: "I am nine, you are one."

Li Yuanji shook his head immediately.

Li Shimin stared and said: "You took the food that was resold by the officials and nobles, and another [-]% is enough."

Li Shimin felt that Li Yuanji was too greedy.

Li Yuanji said bluntly: "We not only need elder brother to transfer people, but also ask father to come forward to transfer people when necessary. Father will not fight with us, but elder brother will definitely fight with us.

After all, in my Tang Dynasty, not only Hebei was short of food, but other places were also short of food. "

As the prince, Li Jiancheng also shouldered the important task of supervising the country, not only to take care of Hebei, but also to take care of other places.

Elsewhere the granaries were empty, and there were famines in many places.

If you have a chance, you can get a sum of food and go to give it away.

Li Jiancheng will definitely not let it go.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said with a heartache: "Then eight two, I eight, you two."

Li Yuanji said strangely: "I'll just give Big Brother [-]%, can Big Brother agree?"

[-]% to dismiss the beggar.

It's no wonder that Li Jiancheng would agree when he knew it.

Li Shimin said viciously as if his flesh had been cut off: "June [-]th, I will give [-]% to my elder brother, no more. My elder brother is far away in Chang'an, all he needs to do is to write a transfer document, [-]% is not bad.

If he is not satisfied, let him come to Luoyang to handle the matter himself. "

Li Shimin was sure that it was impossible for Li Jiancheng to come to Luoyang, so he was only willing to give Li Jiancheng [-]% at most.

Li Yuanji doesn't know whether Li Jiancheng will be satisfied when he finds out.

But Li Yuanji was very satisfied.

After swallowing the food that was resold to the officials and nobles, he can still eat a lot of ordinary food, retain a large number of talents, and be a big favor in front of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, which is too worthwhile.

After all, on the bright side, he suffered the most from this matter.

If Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin didn't give him some benefits in private, it would be unreasonable.

"Then according to what the second brother said, if the eldest brother is dissatisfied, I can only tell the truth, and then the second brother can't blame me."

Li Yuanji took advantage of it and began to act like a good boy.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanji and said nothing.

So what if Li Jiancheng is dissatisfied?

When Li Jiancheng saw him again, he was Li Tang's prince.

Li Jiancheng was taken from the position of prince, he would be ruthless to the bone, if there is more dissatisfaction, so what?

"Since the second brother won't blame me, then I can rest assured. But before doing this, there are two things that need to be discussed with the second brother."

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin asked.

Li Yuanji said frankly, "The first thing, this matter can only be done by our subordinates, we can't come forward. To the outside world, we don't know about this matter."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Li Yuanji's purpose was to let them disassociate themselves from the matter of Ping Tiao, even if there was any scandal in the matter of Ping Tiao in the future, it would have nothing to do with them.

The second thing, even if Li Yuanji didn't say anything, Li Shimin knew about it.

They need two blamers.

"Yin Ashu, He Deren, Li Sixing, Yuwen Shiji!"

Li Shimin gave four candidates without waiting for Li Yuanji to speak.
