The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 21 The Ghostly Father and Son

Li Shimin heard that it was Li Tai who caused the incident again, and immediately ordered someone to call Li Tai over.Some people will say, why don't the family eat together.It is quite normal for ordinary people to eat together as a family.But for the royal family, that is definitely a luxury.

Soon, Li Tai was called over by Li Shimin, and before Li Tai could greet him, Li Shimin asked, "Tell me, what are you messing with again. Eunuch Zhang said that today's dishes have been added to the dishes you sent." Condiment, tell me where you got it."

"Father, you are talking about monosodium glutamate. It didn't come from anywhere. It was made by Qingque himself. Putting it in the dishes can make the dishes more delicious. That's why Qingque asked the cook to add it to father's dishes. This monosodium glutamate is added to it. Let you taste the delicious food." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Don't give me sloppy eyes there, tell me your real purpose. Don't think that I don't know, today Luo Tong brought you a person. And he lives in your small courtyard." Li Shimin drank the wine in his hand , while asking Li Tai.

"Father, since Qingque went to the West Market last time, I feel that money is really useful. So I decided to find someone to open a shop and help me earn more and more money. After I have money Qingque can do whatever you want." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a cute expression on his face.

"Have you forgotten your identity? You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, you will also be an important minister of the country in the future. How can you do such a thing of competing with the people? Don't you think this is nonsense?" Li Shimin said with a straight face. Li Tai said.

"Father, the term "competing for profit with the people" is wrong. If I enclose the land and seize the mines, that is the real competition with the people. And I rely on my own wisdom to do business, how can I be called "competing with the people"? It's about fighting for profit. Besides, if it's as small as a family or as big as a country, can you leave money?" Li Tai said solemnly with his little hands behind his back.

Li Tai's movements and expressions actually amused his mother's eldest grandson Wugou.It never occurred to me that my son pretended to be.It's so old-fashioned and looks good.

"Qing Que, don't listen to your father, tell your mother what you do with so much money." The eldest grandson Wugou got up and came to Li Tai's side.Holding Li Tai in his arms, he asked gently.

"Mother, Master once said to me that if a country has money, it will make the country stronger. If a courtier has money in his hands, he will not be corrupt and pervert the law, and will serve the people wholeheartedly. With money in the hands of a common people, they can make their family's life more fulfilling. They will never do illegal things. They will not be deceived to resist the rule of the court. So this money is the foundation of the country. " Li Tai said seriously.

Hearing Li Tai's words, even Li Shimin was shocked.Li Shimin didn't know the importance of money, so he said that he could not do without the support of money for many years of fighting.Without the support of money, the armed forces will collapse in an instant.This is why the five surnames and seven sects are so rampant.Because they have money in their hands, the country cannot do without their support.

If it weren't for Li Tai, Li Shimin and others would have believed that they had Jiang Ziya as a master.It is estimated that he has long been regarded as a monster, after all, if he is only six years old, if he said such words.Definitely not for his age.

However, Li Shimin didn't show any shocked expression, let alone say anything in support of Li Tai's actions.Instead, he said with a serious face: "What you have to do now is to learn literary and martial arts well, so that you can make contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the future. Other things are not what you should think about now."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai had an aggrieved expression on his face, and said to Li Shimin: "Qing Que knows, there is nothing else to do, so Que went back and thought about it behind closed doors." After speaking, Li Tai got down from the arms of eldest grandson Wugou.Then he saluted Li Shimin and his wife and left.

Looking at Li Tai's lonely back, Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin: "Everything Qingque said is reasonable, why do you hit him like this? Aren't you afraid that because of your words, he will be devastated and give up his own ideas? "

"Don't you know the child you gave birth to? Could it be that he will really become honest because of a word from me. He has changed so much during this period of time. Even a little, let me I can't understand him more and more." Li Shimin said after shaking his head.

Li Shimin was right, Li Tai had just left Li Shimin's room.Then he put away the aggrieved expression on his face.Instead, he was happy and walked towards his small courtyard.Because he knew that his father didn't really object to doing that.It's just that he didn't show that he supported himself.

Time passed by in a hurry, and it was more than ten days in a flash.On this day, Li Tai was copying books in his room.The guard came to Li Tai and said, "Second Young Master, Zou Fengchi is back. It's just outside the door. Do you want him to come in?"

Hearing that Zou Fengchi had returned, Li Tai put down the brush in his hand and said, "Let him in."

Soon Zou Fengchi came in, saluted Li Tai first, and then said: "His Royal Highness, everything has been prepared, and part of the monosodium glutamate has been produced. Choose an auspicious day and you can open for business." The porcelain bottle was handed over to Li Tai.

Li Tai took the porcelain bottle and opened it, and found that it didn't contain MSG as he had imagined.But a small white ball.This made Li Tai not quite understand.So he looked at Zou Fengchi with a questioning look.

Of course Zou Fengchi understood that Li Tai looked at your own reasons, so he said, "His Royal Highness, this is my improved monosodium glutamate. There is no change in efficacy and processing formula..."

It turns out that Zou Fengchi has put a lot of effort into the production of monosodium glutamate, which is easy to be stolen by others.Finally, Zou Fengchi thought of a way to put clothes on MSG.It is to wrap MSG into small balls with flour.This adds to its mystery.

Coupled with Zou Fengchi's propaganda, it is estimated that no one will casually smash this small ball bought with money.Although this cannot prevent the leakage of the secret recipe, it can also minimize the chance of leakage.

Moreover, the workers Zou Fengchi hired also agreed with them not to leave the workshop for one year.Otherwise, you will not be able to get the remaining salary.He will also be charged back the wages he was paid earlier.

The workers Zou Fengchi was looking for were paid ten taels of silver per year.First pay five or two years and then pay five or two at the end.Such a high salary made those workers happy to death, wishing they could work with him for the rest of their lives.So that will leave halfway.

After hearing Zou Fengchi's explanation, Li Tai couldn't help feeling more at ease with Zou Fengchi.I believe that with his help, I will definitely accumulate huge wealth.However, for the sake of safety, Li Tai planned to find a way to send some soldiers of the sixteen guards to protect the workshop.In this way, you can truly be foolproof.
