Chapter 134: Discussion in the main hall
"You are still fighting here...Zhinu...you won't go back?"
When Li You walked into the house, he saw Xiao Yan, Xiao Baoer, Li Zhi and Li Mingda sitting on the table playing mahjong. Li You calculated that he had been playing for almost an afternoon.
Xiao Yan, Xiao Baoer, Li Mingda, it’s fine. It’s going to be dark and there’s a curfew soon. Why is Li Zhi still there?
"Fifth brother... I won't leave today. Baoer and I will sleep. The four of us made an appointment to have a night of fighting tonight...!" Li Zhi replied with a heeze.
Then he focused on mahjong again. After hearing this, Li You showed a speechless expression on his face and shook his head and said to himself: "I won't raise a group of mahjong poisoners, right?"
In fact, many novices are like this. They just learn mahjong and keep wanting to play. This may be a novices syndrome, just like you just learn how to ride a bicycle.
Anyway, Li Zhi lived in Dunhuafang at night, and the four guys fought until the early morning before going back to bed. They only got decadent one by one at noon the next day. Xiao Yan and Xiao Baoer were scolded by Chunniang.
As for Li Mingda, he was also taught a lesson by Li You. He could not do such a black and white thing often. As for Li Zhi, he brought two other pairs of mahjong home. Originally, Li You only gave one pair, but he couldn't resist Li Zhi's begging, so he had to give one more pair.
In fact, Li You also had a premonition that as long as mahjong is made and then spread, it will definitely be popularized soon, so Li You prepared a lot of mates at the beginning.
When it was just beginning to become popular, Li You made a solid profit with mahjong.
However, this money is fast money, and you can make the first wave. Li You made an uninterrupted move this time and made about 50,000 pounds at a time. However... after this first wave, it is impossible for him to make so much money if he wants to make money later.
Because the Tang Dynasty had strong copying ability, that is, the piracy ability was very powerful. Just when Li You was preparing for the second wave, mahjong had been copied, and almost all stores in Chang'an City were for sale. At this time, Li You's mahjong sales were a bit boycotted.
There is no way to do this, because in modern times, piracy is very serious in many countries. After all, it is a fundamental benefit, and the punishment is not too heavy, but there are indeed a lot of profits that can be obtained.
In ancient times, there was no punishment, so piracy was of course very serious. Li You had actually realized this a long time ago, so he smiled indifferently at the mahjong Li You who suddenly appeared in other families.
However, this made Li Mingda, Xiao Yan and Xiao Baoer so angry... Cursing those merchants who pirated mahjong every day at home, one of them was more cruel than the other.
Li You smiled with her cute little look.
What Li You didn't expect was that his mahjong sales this time once again touched the bad intentions of some aristocratic families, so on the day Yin Hongzhi returned to the court to report that Li Shimin's grain road had been restored, the aristocratic families unanimously decided to grab Li You's soap and soap business.
................
Tai Chi Palace... Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne in the hall. Li Shimin was quite happy today. Yin Hongzhi came back and told Li Shimin that the food road had been repaired, so the food crisis in Chang'an had been lifted.
Refugees in the east of the city can be rescued with relief, so that they can get enough food, and then dig canals for Chang'an to exchange for food.
In this way, the refugees can survive and survive until the flood recedes and return to their hometown.
"Yin Aiqing... Thank you for your hard work this time, and you did a very good job..." Li Shimin praised Yin Hongzhi.
Yin Hongzhi hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty...!"
Originally, the matter was over and it was time to go to court, and at this moment, a censor came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a little story I want to share."
"A little story..." Li You looked at the censor of the Censorate in front of him and twitched slightly. The Censorate has a strong power and is now used to tell stories. This story may have a profound meaning, so Li Shimin nodded and said, "Accurate..."
After being approved by Li Shimin, the censor said slightly: "I believe everyone knows that once, the Prime Minister of Lu, Gong Yixiu, went home from court and saw his wife weaving silk, which made Gong Yixiu very angry.
Moreover, after a while, when Gongyi was off for dinner, he ate the sunflower vegetables grown in his own vegetable garden, which made him even more angry.
My wife was very surprised and didn't know why her guild would be angry.
Later, Gong Yixiu told his wife: "I already have a salary, enough to support the whole family, why are you going to compete with the weaving wife and the garden boss for profit?"
Your Majesty... I think what Gongyi said is right. If you like friendship, the people will be kind and the people will be good. If you like profit, the people will be evil and the people will be defeated."
Those who are officials love benevolence and righteousness, have a good official style, and have a good civil custom; those who are officials always want to make fortunes, have bad official style, and have bad civil customs. An honest and honest official is a factor in the stability of the regime, and corrupt corrupt officials are one of the genes for the collapse of the regime.
Emperor Wu of Han learned from ancient sages and realized that the higher the status, the greater the power of role models.
At this time, there was a prince in the Tang Dynasty who was setting a bad example. Although he had no throne, he was still a prince. He had accumulated too much wealth and made the people in the court panic. I beg your Majesty to bring the soap industry of Prince Li Youzhi to the court.
It can make up for the losses of prince Li You every month."
As soon as these words were said, all the ministers in the court were stunned. Is it really so poisonous? It is really a shame to want to exchange 300 guan a month for soap and soap industry.
However... although it is insidious, it seems to have benefits. As long as the soap and soap industry is taken back to the court, it will become something from the court, and the things from the court are their own things, and the benefits will come naturally.
This made the ministers unconscious.
"Father..." At this moment, a fat man couldn't help but feel that the fat man was no one else, but our King of Wei Li Tai. You should know that Li Tai has some power, but there is not much money. If you can obtain the financial rights of soap and soap, then Li Tai can be said to be a tiger with wings.
As long as the soap and soap can be collected into the court, Li Tai is very popular and can get 60%.
So Li Tai couldn't wait: "My son agreed with the above statement of Yushi Cui. Those who eat money will not compete with the people for profit... The fifth brother prince will become a role model regardless of whether he has a title or not.
As a role model, especially for officials, he is not allowed to engage in private profit activities, because this is a major guarantee for the integrity and integrity of officials.
If the fifth brother gained a lot of money due to his behavior and attracted the imitation and recognition of other officials, it would have a great impact on the Tang Dynasty, so the sons and ministers agreed...!"
When Li Tai finished speaking, Tang Jian on the other side was anxious. His relationship with Li You is now very good, and Li You treats him very well, so he went to give money and things. At this time, seeing these people with ulterior motives want to seize Li You's property, how could Tang Jian not be in a hurry?
But Tang Jian was too smart. He felt that this time the matter was not a simple matter. If he wanted to stand up at this time, he would definitely be hated. He was measuring the pros and cons. Fortunately, when Tang Jian was measuring, Li Chengqian took a step forward.
