Dai Zhou left the tenement building and got into a car heading to the south of the city. It was already close to noon.
When he arrived at Fenglin, Li Shimin was having lunch with his concubines.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a middle-aged man walking in front of him.
"Ma Zhou! Wait a moment!" he shouted.
It turns out that this person is Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou turned around and saw Dai Zhou.
"The minister is polite!"
"Ma Zhou, what are you doing?" Dai Zhou asked doubtfully.
"Please resign to Your Majesty!"
"What? Why?" Dai Zhou was very puzzled.
Then he added: "Didn't you do a good job? Why do you want to resign? Is it because the treatment in the palace is not good?"
"Shang Shu doesn't know. I'm going to work in the Shengtang Group. That's where I belong!" Ma Zhou said.
Dai Zhou was shocked.
Is even Ma Zhou going to join Li Min?
"Li Chunfeng just left the court. At that time, His Majesty was very sad about his decision. If you talk to His Majesty again, His Majesty may not agree."
"Li Chunfeng is also going to Shengtang Group, and I just want to be with him!" Ma Zhou said again.
At this time Dai Zhou finally understood.
I dare say the two of them are together.
"you……"
Dai Zhou was speechless, Ma Zhou was really brave.
Dare to do this.
But he didn't know what to say.
"I think your job is pretty good, sir. As long as you can work in the Shengtang Group, your future will be good. No matter what you do, your name will definitely be left in the future. This is something you work hard for the entire Tang Dynasty!" Ma Zhou said again.
"This..." Dai Zhou was speechless for a moment.
Ma Zhou is right, that's it.
This is the consensus of the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Shang Shu, I think you might want to take a look at the Shengtang Group. The environment there is very good and can help you reflect your value!" Ma Zhou added.
Dai Zhou was silent.
He had also thought about it, but he was already sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so how could he just leave at the drop of a hat?
Li Shimin had given himself ten thousand taels of silver before.
With such benefits, he said he wanted to leave, but it seemed unreasonable.
This may be the brilliance of Li Shimin.
Then Ma Zhou said something that almost made Dai Zhou choke to death.
"I went to Shengtang Group and heard that the starting price is 10,000 taels per month. If I do well, there will be more money coming in by the end of the year!"
Ma Zhou's words shocked Dai Zhou.
I can't believe that after working for so many years, I only got 10,000 taels, while others can get it in a month.
This is the difference.
But if he really goes, will Li Min want him?
He couldn't bear to say it.
Unexpectedly, Ma Zhou said again: "Shang Shu, if you want, I can ask Li Chunfeng to talk to the gentleman. Maybe the gentleman will agree. With your talents, it will be very good to go to the Shengtang Group."
Ma Zhou's words silenced Dai Zhou.
Perhaps, he should go find Li Min and have a good talk.
However, if he wants to leave, will Li Shimin agree?
Probably won't agree.
If he doesn't agree, can he leave?
Maybe it really doesn't work.
There is also the possibility of being scolded by Li Shimin, so why bother?
Let’s do it first, it’s difficult to have power and money at the same time.
"Let's discuss this later!" Dai Zhou didn't dare to agree to Ma Zhou's words now. If he agreed, he might go and talk to Li Chunfeng. Based on his understanding of Li Chunfeng, if he went to talk now, he would really talk to Li Chunfeng right away. Mentioned with amazement.
In that case, Li Shimin might know.
That would be bad for me.
He doesn't want to leave yet.
Ma Zhou also saw what he was thinking.
Then he said: "There is no rush about this matter. When you have figured it out, you can tell me at any time, otherwise it will be the same as Li Chunfeng. Now there are many officials in the imperial court going to Shengtang Group."
"What!? What did you say?"
"Many officials have this idea. They have worked in the court for so many years, but they have not been able to get anything beneficial, but these things can be easily obtained in just one month in the Shengtang Group. Of course, these people also have to go through Once those selected by Mr. are qualified, they will be on the same level as wealth."
Ma Zhou added that Dai Zhou was shocked by the news.
"I have heard before that some officials may leave the court, but I have not heard that they are going to join the Shengtang Group. Who told you this news?" Dai Zhou asked.
"Shang Shu, that's not important. There are many people anyway. I can't tell you who they are. I hope you don't tell others, especially His Majesty. I'm afraid that if he knows, it will have an impact on my departure."
Ma Zhou added that he understood this very well. If Li Shimin knew about it, he might not let them leave.
But they wanted to leave, and Li Shimin really couldn't stop them.
His heart is no longer in the court, what else can Li Shimin say?
"Shang Shu, you really need to think about it carefully. In one month, you can make up for your lifetime income, and you can still be reused. It's not like me, who has been an official for so long but is only in the fifth rank. A librarian, this kind of thing makes no one want to do it."
Ma Zhou expressed his true opinion.
Someone once said that there are two possibilities for employees to resign. First, they are not doing well, and second, they are not paid enough.
As for Ma Zhou's departure, it was both.
It would be the same thing if it were put to Dai Zhou.
I have to be angry with Li Shimin every day.
This made Dai Zhou feel very unhappy. He had just talked to Li Min about making Li Min the emperor.
It shows how much he dislikes working under Li Shimin.
But this idea is naive. Who can guarantee that Li Min will not be like Li Shimin in the future?
It's like a company. Once a new leader comes in, there will be a bloodbath.
Some personnel will be eliminated. When the leader does not do well and is fired, when the next leader comes again, he will repeat the same process as before.
This is the same as the change of dynasties.
"I know this, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." Dai Zhou said.
"I believe you won't talk nonsense!" Ma Zhou followed.
"That's all right. I'm going to mention this matter to His Majesty now and say goodbye!" Ma Zhou was about to leave.
Dai Zhou said: "Wait!"
"oh?"
"Is it really okay for you to go to His Majesty now? Will Your Majesty agree to it?" Dai Zhou asked.
"I don't know about this, but it all depends on people, and I heard that His Majesty is very happy now. If you mention it at this time, you might be able to let me leave!" Ma Zhou said.
Dai Zhou was speechless.
"Okay, I'm going over. Do you want to come with me, Minister?"
"I'll wait!" Dai Zhou said.
He was afraid that when Li Shimin got angry, he would also be affected. In that case, it would be bad.
Therefore, he wanted to wait until Ma Zhou's matter was over.
So, he watched Ma Zhou walk towards Li Shimin's place.
