When I saw Xiao Lizi again, I was no longer in the messy Lizheng Hall, but in the Wenhua Hall, which was much smaller in comparison.
Having taken off his bright yellow dragon robe, Li Shimin was now only wearing a simple robe, his hair was tied up casually, and he was holding a book in his hand. He looked like a rich man, not a majestic king of a country. .
"sit."
After waving the deacon and eunuch away, Li Shimin threw the book in his hand on the desk and nodded to Xiao Han with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After bowing his hands in a bow, Xiao Han was not polite. He came to the desk and sat down. Then he stared at his big eyes and began to look around.
"Your Majesty? Didn't you say that we don't need to be called this when it's just the two of us?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, and as he spoke, he went to sit behind the desk opposite Xiao Han.
"Hey, you forgot?" Xiao Han looked at Li Shimin, scratched his head, and replied with some embarrassment.
"You have the most reasons." Li Shimin glanced at Xiao Han, chuckled, and then asked casually: "How are you, are you not full tonight?"
"You're full!" Xiao Han said with a grin.
However, Li Shimin didn't believe Xiao Han's answer at all. He smiled bitterly and said: "You don't have to comfort me. Today's food is just for fun. How can I be full? However, you also know the situation in the palace. There is really nothing to show. The money is coming.”
"I know."
Xiao Han chuckled and nodded: "But I'm really full! At first, I stole Liu Hongji's meat. When I went down to toast, I saw that Qiu Fu had no teeth and couldn't bite the meat. His I also took care of the food, so I’m full.”
"you……"
Li Shimin suddenly laughed when he heard what Xiao Han said: "You are the only one who has many evil thoughts, but Liu Hongji is not stupid. How could he not know that you stole his meat?"
"Him? Hey, stop talking about him!"
This matter cannot be mentioned. When it is mentioned, Xiao Han feels like the stupid donkey at home, except that he does not have a pair of long ears on his head.
Just before he came, he was blackmailed by Liu Hongji into many benefits, which barely made up for Lao Liu's "fragile heart."
Now that I think about it, there is a hint of conspiracy in this matter! I guess they already knew it when I stole the meat.
Hey, I will suffer a big loss after taking advantage of it. The ancients honestly did not deceive me!
Xiao Han's face was full of frustration. Li Shimin just looked at it and roughly guessed something in his heart.
He couldn't help laughing: "What? Did you get caught and do it?"
"Hey, it would be great if you were caught doing it. I don't know who this bastard learned from, but he actually came to settle the score afterwards!"
Rolling his eyes greatly, Xiao Han said depressedly: "And this bastard obviously had a premeditated plan. A piece of broken meat actually extorted three banquets from me in Baihua Pavilion. God knows what kind of meat is so valuable!"
"One piece of meat for three banquets? Haha..."
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing, and Xiao Han couldn't help laughing after being stunned.
After telling a friend an embarrassing thing, it is no longer embarrassing, but a happy thing!
And with this joy, Li Shimin's originally gloomy mood seemed to become much brighter.
"You, you! You usually look so smart, but at the critical moment you were tricked by a big boss, haha..."
"Hey, why don't you tell me! It doesn't matter if a smart person deceives others, but if an honest person deceives others, it will be fatal!"
Looking at Xiao Han with an annoyed face, Li Shimin finally remembered the business of calling him here today, stopped coughing twice and said with a smile:
"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. Today, you will be the new Fire Guards General. Do you know?"
Xiao Han glanced at Li Shimin and said strangely: "I know, I know, but where are my soldiers?"
"Recruit it yourself..." Li Shimin touched his nose and his voice gradually became smaller.
"Oh, what about my weapons?" Xiao Han asked again.
"The second Qinling workshop has not been established yet. Once it is established, we will provide you with supplies..." No matter how quiet Li Shimin's voice was.
"The military camp? Where is the territory?"
"It is now planned to be in Lantian, where there is some idle land near the Qinling Mountains." Li Shimin's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
"The land is idle? It's just wasteland and it hasn't been built yet, right? Where's the money?"
With some ominous premonition in his heart, Xiao Han quickly asked the most important question!
After all, he didn't think he could form an army by himself! Because even if he had enough money, he wouldn't be courageous enough!
I didn’t see Shen Wansan from the Ming Dynasty. He just wanted to help reward the army, but the emperor took off his head and kicked it with a ball?
"...This, no money!"
Under Xiao Han's hopeful gaze, Li Shimin groaned for a long time and finally choked out these two words.
"What?" When Xiao Han heard this, his eyes immediately widened. If the eye sockets were not big enough, his eyeballs would probably pop out.
"No money! Then I'll go there and form an army for you? Do you really think I'm monkey monkey and can change?"
"Nonsense! If I have money, why should I look for you?!"
Finally, after being ridiculed by Xiao Han, Li Shimin broke out! He stood up and stared at Xiao Han like a fighting cock.
"Ahem, no money. If we don't have money, we can think of a way!"
Seeing the furious Li Shimin, Xiao Han was instantly frightened, and he was quite frightened!
There is nothing you can do, he is the emperor, why should you reason with him? I'm afraid that my life is too long, so I want to try the beheading platform outside at the Meridian Gate to see if it works?
"any idea!"
Xiao Han gave up, but Li Shimin had no intention of letting him go. Anyway, he was already angry with shame. He didn't want this little face anymore!
"any solution?"
Being pressed closer and closer by Li Shimin, sweat broke out on Xiao Han's forehead, and his brain was running at a speed of three thousand revolutions! Then, an old word suddenly jumped out!
"Huh? No money? We can make money!" Xiao Han suddenly realized as he slapped his forehead.
"How to make money?" Li Shimin frowned and asked immediately.
"State-owned!" Xiao Han said with bright eyes.
"State-owned?" Li Shimin was stunned. He was sure he had never heard of this word.
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin asked, staring at Xiao Han.
"What do you mean? It's just royal business!" Xiao Han explained briefly.
"Business?" Li Shimin frowned again, you must know that a gentleman is ashamed of profit! If a dignified and royal person sacrifices his body to do business, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?
Xiao Han chuckled and whispered: "Don't glare at me like that. I'm not asking you to do business! I'm asking you to take the lead and arrange some people to do business. By the way, don't we have a salt and iron franchise? It's similar to that."
"Salt and iron franchise?" Li Shimin became more and more confused as he listened, "But those things are not sold by the imperial court. Instead, salt and iron are sent out, and the salt merchants and iron merchants do the rest."
"Right?" Xiao Han nodded as he should, "Is this also a kind of business? You don't think that those who open shops and walk around the streets are businesses, do you?"
