Chapter 373;
Chapter 373: Mobilize passion
Seeing the atmosphere in the hall getting hotter and hotter, Li Yu sat down and ate and drank, regardless of the lively civil and military officials, they all said something.
Yuchi Gong went out to pay a walk to drink, and his face turned red with a black face. He came back proudly and sat down, talking to Li Yu in his unique "little voice";
"Nephew, my uncle doesn't understand what kind of tea deal you have this time, but my uncle has prepared a good deal for you.
I asked my servants to take out the more than one hundred pieces of silk that Your Majesty gave to my uncle over the years and checked it carefully. It was all new and new, without any dust, and it was clean.
When your convoy sets off, you can bring it with you. In addition, I have prepared all the remaining silver, money and silk in the mansion, carefully taken care of it, and passed it through it. After checking the number, there were more than 70,000 guan.
You have to let me join in as a member, my nephew. At that time, I had drunk more than a dozen times with my brother Li, and there was no way to say that my friendship was. I had been sleeping in a tent for several months. If you don’t believe it, just go and ask your two uncles, and see if I’m lying?”
Li Yu was eating roasted lamb in his mouth, nodded quickly, and agreed vaguely;
"I believe, I believe my nephew."
Yuchi Gong saw Li Yu believe his words and continued happily;
"You have to take care of your uncle once. I wanted to get more parts in the last time when I was having a liquor business. You have made too few reservations..."
Although Yuchi Gong's voice was lowered a lot, many people could hear it clearly. Yuchi Gong was still saying things, Li Yu was also nodding, and Niu Xiu, who was going out to clink glasses, suddenly turned around and shouted;
"Ye, you old man, while I came out to have a drink with my brothers, what did you say to Li Dalang? You're sneaky?"
"Oh, you kill yourself, just go to have a drink. I told Li Dalang whether the chefs' skills have improved."
Niu Xiu drank the white wine in the glass in one breath and said with a disgusting expression;
"Who are you coaxing? Even the voice of your voice sitting on your head can be heard. Can you still try to argue?"
"I'm quibbling about what, my dear nephew, how are you making today's meat and vegetables? Have you made some progress in your cooks?"
Li Yu was still chewing mutton in his mouth. He nodded when he heard this, picked up a bowl of clear water and started drinking. Niu Jinda walked directly to the middle of the hall and said loudly;
"Brothers, listen. This old man can't even say anything lies. He pretends to be quite like him. Brother, have you heard this man just now?"
The person questioned by Niu Jinda was Duan Zhixian, the general of Zuo Xiaowei. General Duan stroked his three-inch beard with his hand and looked at Yuchi Gong with a smile;
"Brother Yuchi, I just told Li Dalang that I would secretly gather more members in and ask Li Dalang to give you a second. Brother, I'm right. You can hear your voice in half of the hall. I guess His Majesty has heard it. Don't hide it, brother."
Yuchi Gong was caught on the spot and defended himself with his neck;
"Didn't I just want to get more members in? It's not a big deal, I dare not say anything. Besides, brothers also know that my ancestors were from generals, but my generation has declined.
I have a weaker foundation here, and I also want to get more members to accumulate some family business for my descendants and grandchildren. I will be more grateful to all brothers, and I will forgive you if I am guilty..."
Yuchi Gong stood up as he spoke, holding his fists from all directions, causing all the civil and military officials in the hall to stand up and return the salute.
Duan Zhixian had no malicious intentions at first, and after saying it casually, he didn't expect that this irritable and thunderous fool would speak politely and look down on his face, which made him embarrassed;
"What are you talking about by Brother Yuchi? I know that your family is well-off. It's not a big deal. They are all brothers who have fought all the way. I can still be jealous of you if I can't do it, it's okay, it's okay..."
Who in the hall doesn’t know that this fool is His Majesty’s number one thug, and his confidant. Besides, he has had more than ten years of friendship. Apart from his bad temper, Yuchi Laohei has no other shortcomings.
It is indeed the poorest among the people, so it is understandable to get more money into it. It is not a good idea to say something bad about it at this time to offend people.
So many people expressed their approval and comforted Yuchi Gong. Yuchi Gong was so excited to see everyone agreeing to support him, but he was honest and did not say anything good. With a sudden inspiration, he came out to express his gratitude to the literati.
It was just a tall and fierce man as tall as a bear, and the literati who was so rude that he was ignorant of four or five, which made him laugh again, and Cheng Yaojin's tears choked out;
"I said you are a kid, you are just a reckless man who doesn't know much about the big words. You pretend to be literary. If you don't know, you think you are the prime minister of the three provinces?
You said you are a general who is fighting and fighting, and you will learn the style of a gentleman, and you can't eat wine when you look at me.
Brothers, you should take some time to find the Eighteen Bachelors, choose a few with deep skills, and learn carefully before you can get a ceremony.
Or I will recommend Kong Jijiu to you, or Yu Xuejue. Or so, while the eighteen bachelors are here today, you will tell me directly, and I want to follow the etiquette. I will give this face today. I will be a referee for you? Ah! Hahahaha!"
Yuchi Gong also felt that he was doing the four-way character in the ceremony, and he felt a little embarrassed. However, when the devil spoke out in public, he felt no more comfortable. He spat hard in the direction of Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong raised his throat;
"You know more words? You may not necessarily have more than my old man. Don't think I don't know. Your book Analects of Confucius has been seen this year since last year.
I tell people all day long that I can cultivate my character and supplement my knowledge at home. Which one should I fool? I am afraid I don’t understand one of the ten, so I don’t know who I don’t know? I slap..."
Li Shimin, who was sitting in the upper head, did hear some of Yuchi Gong's words. He liked this loyal thug with all his fingers, and he was loyal to him.
Otherwise, I would not have been rewarded with a bunch of things at any time. Seeing everyone laughing at Yuchi Gong, Li Shimin spoke with a smile;
"Li County Bo, although Jingde's family has been a general for generations, they are all pure and greedy people. They are honest by nature and are not good at management. When Jingde comes to Jingde, they are quite poor and have little capital. Let's make an exception this time. He is allowed to invest more money and ask him to accumulate some industries for his descendants."
Li Yu stood up and answered;
"Abide by the order, Your Majesty, don't worry. I know what I know. I will make arrangements. It's not a big deal."
"Well, that's great. You have been to Chang'an City for a few days. I'm afraid you haven't been to the Ministry of Revenue yet?"
"Report to Your Majesty, I am about to go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen tomorrow, so I go to the Ministry of Revenue to meet with the chief doctor of the Kurama Department to discuss some major issues.
Today, the empress has also come to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I have just gone to invite the Ministry of Revenue. Then I will go directly to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow."
Li Shimin nodded and looked at the hall;
"Is Lu Qing's family from Kurabeji come?"
Lu Jishan, who was sitting in the northeast corner talking to his friend, heard the emperor's call and quickly stood up and bent down to bow to him;
"I am here, Your Majesty, please give me the order, and I will listen to it with utmost respect."
Li Shimin stretched out one hand and pressed it down;
"Lu Qing's family is enough to sit down and talk. Today is the old brothers gathered in the past, and you don't have to be too polite without outsiders."
"Yes, thank you."
Lu Jishan sat down upright and stopped talking to his brothers. Looking at the emperor in the head, Li Shimin put away his smile and said seriously;
"I also know that Lu Qing's family is cautious in doing things, careful and never makes any mistakes. Therefore, the important task of the Kurama Department is entrusted to the hands of his beloved ministers. Li County Bo brews spirits, and the Kurama Department is in charge of entering and leaving the warehouse. In the future, he will be responsible for the major tasks of wealthy families selling wine in the world.
You should get closer and closer in the future. You must work hand in hand and not have any inconsistencies that will ruin the major affairs of the court. I am not directed at any of you, but just from a fair standpoint. You should think twice before you act."
Both of them stood up to answer the order, looked at each other and nodded, and sat down again. Li Shimin stared at Li Yu, and then talked about the transaction of tea leaves;
"The court has not participated in your tea pot business, and I don't have much to say, but the court has taken half of the profits in this liquor matter. I'm not afraid of you saying I'm too long.
I would like to remind you that the transaction of tea leaves and iron pots can be temporarily put on. Let’s first make the liquor clear and understand the other things. This is also a distinction between the primary and secondary. The difference between severity and importance. Don’t ruin the major affairs of the court because of greed.”
"Yes, I know the priorities and will never delay the major affairs of the court and put the cart before the horse. However, I think that the matter of liquor cannot be delayed and needs to be continued, but the transaction of tea iron pots and silk cannot be stopped.
You can prepare at the same time, and you can also buy some industries for your uncles to leave for future generations. If you leave, your uncles will worry about the important things that your grandchildren have to worry about, and you will be able to calm down when you are loyal to the emperor and the court, and you will have less worries. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
Li Shimin just nodded, and before he could speak, Yuchi Gong stood up first;
"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what Li Dalang said is really in the heart of the Taoist minister. He is not afraid of death when he goes to fight to kill the enemy. He will swear to be loyal to His Majesty to repay the grace of the emperor.
The only thing the old minister is concerned about is the affairs of the descendants of this descendants. He is worried that his descendants will not be able to manage their future and will be poor and destitute, so he has concerns.
Of course, if you have your Majesty to take care of you, I am also worried, but if you can accumulate some family wealth for future generations, your Majesty can worry less.
After solving the problems of future generations, the old minister was relieved even if he returned with a horse and a corpse. Even if he died in the battle formation, he could still smile. Please give him a clear guide."
Although Niu Xiu's father had been the leader, his family was not much better than Yuchi Gong. He immediately stood up after hearing this;
"Report to Your Majesty, what General Yuchi said is exactly what I am thinking. I also agree with what Li Dalang is doing. It is just that the transaction of liquor must be the most important thing. You can prepare some other matters without delaying liquor. Please give your Majesty a clear guide."
Most of the people who come to the Prime Minister's Mansion today are upstarts. Unlike those wealthy families that have been preserved for hundreds of years, there is no one who is short of money. After hearing the two of them, they stood up more than half and agreed to support the generals of the two guards.
Li Shimin also knew the reason why he needed to give the horse grass to the horse to run, so he stretched out his hands and pressed it in the air;
"Sit down and talk with all the old guys."
After hearing the emperor's words, everyone sat down again and looked at the emperor who was in charge.
Li Shimin looked carefully and saw that all the important civil and military officials in the hall, especially those more than 20 companies, did not participate in the first white wine brewing transaction. Li Shimin knew in his heart that if they were rejected again, it would be a big hidden danger.
Both of them were from the Tiance Mansion, so they could not get into chaos first. Last time, Li Dalang had some inappropriate things. He did not inform the civil and military officials of the Tiance Mansion. This time, he could not leave any other company. Thinking of this, Li Shimin continued with a relaxed look on his face;
"I also know the family situation of the brothers, and I have long known it. Therefore, today, I will explain it clearly here so that the old brothers can rest assured.
Then, the future transactions of liquor, as long as they are from the Tiance Mansion, no matter whether they are civil or military, they can get a share of the pie.
But how much money you make depends on Li County Bo’s ability. Don’t make less money or lose more, and you’re unhappy and come to me to complain, that’s not OK.”
Li Shimin's relaxed words immediately made the atmosphere in the hall passionately. Everyone was happy, and many generals laughed.
Even Lu Jishan felt warm. He had no share in the last time when the liquor was not his, so he kept making him feel uncomfortable. They were all from the Tiance Mansion, but the remaining twenty or thirty families did not bring in a lot of money.
They were originally the second column of the Tiance Mansion, so anxious that they were not making much money and silk.
If you can't get in this business circle with Your Majesty as the core, it means you will not be able to win the hearts of the king and will not be favored.
In the era of divine authority of the monarch, this is a very dangerous signal. If you lose the favor and trust of His Majesty the Emperor, your family will surely decline quickly.
This time, His Majesty finally thought of the dozens of them, and they made a decision publicly and were qualified to participate in the future. The parents of these dozens of families were all neatly vented a breath of turbidity.
Everyone smiles on their faces. Who thinks that money is too much? What's more, His Majesty's grace and trust are there!
There are more than a thousand civil and military families in the court. Only these people can enter this circle. It is a great honor to be able to participate in it...
Li Yu also admired Li Shimin very much. He found that Li Shimin often had a few words to mobilize a group of important civil and military officials with passion and motivation.
Speaking of this, it is very favorable to some important officials. In fact, Li Yu also knew in his heart that with more investors, the capital would be greater, so there is no doubt that the benefits obtained will be greater.
He openly got the money in the ministers' pockets, and also danced happily with joy.
Li Yu didn't speak, and followed him secretly and had more capitalists, so he could mobilize more resources to do bigger transactions in the future.
