Tai Chi Palace
Li Shimin's face was solemn.
"17.65 million taels! How dare they create so many counterfeit coins!"
He said quite shocked.
Li Jing said on the side: "According to the banking law, you will be fined 52.95 million taels!"
"More than 50 million taels! It feels like it's still a little less. These people must be punished to death. Let's pass on the order and the new law will be updated to increase the punishment to ten times!"
Li Shimin said cruelly.
"So that's 170 million taels! That's more than 70 million taels more than the money we put into the bank!"
Cheng Yaojin said so.
Li Shimin smiled.
"This is the result I want."
In this way, Li Shimin didn't spend any money and made 70 million taels in vain.
At the same time, he also said: "I have to thank Li Min for this. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to make so much money!"
It was Li Min who forced him to legislate, and it was Li Min who asked him to go to Wang's house to get people.
As soon as he finished speaking, he asked again: "How about Wuji?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "This guy Changsun Wuji is really treacherous. He pushed Li Erhu out, but he only had one misdemeanor!"
Li Shimin was puzzled.
Li Jing then told what happened just now.
"Wuji, he..."
Li Shimin was puzzled.
This Changsun Wuji is really powerful.
How could he still escape at this time?
"Why hasn't he woke up yet?"
Li Shimin sighed.
Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, this is actually better!"
"Better? How can it be better? My heart aches!"
"If Changsun Wuji continues to do this, it will not be a good thing for the Wang family, and it will not be a good thing for the Li family. If this continues, several famous families will probably perish!"
That being said, it seems to be the case.
"That's right!"
If you say this, then Changsun Wuji's merits will become his faults.
It was he who accelerated the decline of the family.
It was he who contributed to the demise of the family.
Then, Cheng Yaojin asked: "So what should be done about the punishment of Li Erhu and Changsun Wuji?"
"Just leave this to Li Daozong! I believe he will handle it fairly and justly."
Li Shimin said.
…
In the following period, the Li family suffered heavy losses.
Li Shimin didn't give them any mercy just because Li Erhu's surname was Li.
Because there were three Li families in the Tang Dynasty, the Li family in Longxi had the highest status and the Li Shimin family had the lowest status.
The "Surname Genealogy" of the Tang Dynasty records that the Li family had thirteen wishes, with Longxi being the first. "The Origin of the Li Family" of the Southern Song Dynasty records: Those who spoke of Li were called Longxi. The ancestor of the Li family in Longxi was Li Chong, the governor of Longxi County in the State of Qin. Li Xin and Li Guang were both descended from the Li family in Longxi.
Li Erhu is a descendant of Longxi. Although his surname is Li, he has nothing to do with Li Shimin.
For the Li family, the penalty of 170 million taels is nothing more than a heavenly amount.
Therefore, within a period of time, the Li family began to sell off their property at low prices. As long as the price was right, they would sell it.
Pay for their mistakes.
At the same time, Li Min instigated the Lu family, the Zheng family, and the Cui family to collect everything at a low price and collect everything belonging to the Li family.
A great family fell into decline.
From then on, there was no longer a big family like the Li family in Longxi in the Tang Dynasty.
Only Tang Li's family is the largest.
Regarding the Wang family, they were also punished for covering up the matter, and the intensity of the punishment was unprecedented.
But it hasn't damaged its roots yet.
But the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has since disappeared.
Li Min took the opportunity to establish a new Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. As the president, he attracted businessmen of all sizes in Chang'an City as allies.
At the same time, the Wang family was excluded.
Finally, Li Shimin released Changsun Wuji and let him continue to take control of the Wang family.
Because of the counterfeit currency incident, both Changsun Wuji and the Wang family were at peace for a period of time. During this period, they were surrounded and suppressed by the Lu, Zheng, and Cui families.
All of this was done under Li Min's instruction.
Changsun Wuji was very angry.
But what's the use of being angry?
Time suddenly came to New Year's Eve.
Li Min stood in a prominent position on the top floor of the tenement building, with more than 70,000 of his workers underneath.
These workers are receiving money and preparing to go back to celebrate the New Year.
In more than half a year, the number of people increased from zero to 70,000, and from one penny to hundreds of millions of taels.
This made him feel a little emotional.
Seeing the people below taking the money and returning happily, he was quite touched.
At this time, his reputation among the people increased again.
At the same time, many people are trying their best to join the Shengtang Group.
Another two hours passed.
Ji Ruxue walked in.
"Mr. Zili, I have distributed bonuses to everyone according to your wishes, so that they can have a good year when they go back!"
Li Min has more than 70,000 people, each with one hundred to one thousand taels as a bonus.
This form did not exist in ancient times, and it can be said to have set a precedent.
"Yes, these workers have worked too hard, and they deserve this."
After finishing, Li Min pointed to the large number of red envelopes on the table and said: "This is yours, you should take it and share it."
Like Ji Ruxue, as well as Sun Simiao, Jia Junyuan, Yuan Tiangang, Wu Jue, Su Mei and other core personnel, Li Min has not forgotten them. He will not be stingy with what he should give to them.
Ji Ruxue walked over and saw the red envelope with her name on it. She picked it up and got a thick stack.
Quite shocked.
Open it directly, and there are one million taels of banknotes inside.
This made her look pale.
"Mr. Zili, this is impossible! How can I take so much money?"
Li Min looked outside and responded: "You deserve this. It's the same for everyone else, so don't be polite!"
"But it's useless for me to hold so much money! My food and accommodation are all in the group now, so there is really no need. I think I can use the money to do some beneficial things."
Li Min smiled.
With this money, he can print as much as he wants. As long as there is no limit, everything will be easy.
And this is also a reward for those who are loyal to themselves. If he doesn't show it, others will think he is stingy.
Ji Ruxue's hand holding one million taels was trembling.
This amount of money is much more than the salaries of officials in the entire imperial court.
Her bonus alone could equal the money of an entire imperial court. Before, she would never have dared to think about it.
"If you are told to take it, take it. Otherwise, I won't dare to let you do things for me in the future!"
Ji Ruxun thought deeply for a while.
Finally, he said: "Then I'll accept it!"
"That's right, okay, go down! Let Zhu Shan come in!"
"clear!"
Then Ji Ruxue left the office with a large number of red envelopes.
After a while, Zhu Shan walked in.
"Mr. Zili, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, come on, sit down!"
Zhu Shan sat down.
"How are you doing with the purchase of sugar cane from Lingnan?"
"Mr. Zili, that matter has been taken care of. Starting from this afternoon, one hundred trucks of sugar cane will enter our group every day."
"Very good, then you can make sugar according to the method I gave you!"
Next, Li Min will touch his tentacles into the sugar-making business.
"Yes! I understand!"
