The children ran away to play, but Li Shimin pretended to be angry and said:
"Listen, your master is really qualified! You even teach these things."
"If Kong Yingda and Yu Shinan knew that these are the things you teach in class, I'm afraid they would stamp their feet and scold you."
Xu Fenglei shrugged.
"Why are they scolding me? Are they monks who can't have sex between men and women?"
He pouted and said,
"I see they also have a lot of children, and they even have beautiful concubines!"
"If they dare to scold me, then I will scold them for talking about benevolence and morality, but for being full of lust and filth in their hearts! Let's see if they are ashamed!"
Changsun Wugou pursed his lips and smiled.
"You are indeed qualified to refute. After all, you are the one who truly keeps your integrity."
She joked,
"Listen clearly, can't you tell, you know a lot."
"Even a woman's menstrual period is well understood."
"Hehe..." Xu Fenglei grinned and said, "I haven't eaten pork before, and I haven't seen a pig running..."
In later generations, he also read countless films.
If the only thing I have a good impression of is the island country, it must be those teachers...
"Um?"
After hearing this, Li Shimin seemed to have thought of something bad, and his face looked a little strange.
Xu Fenglei took one look and knew that he had gone astray.
I am not a voyeur!
"I'm talking about medical books, medical books..."
He hurriedly explained,
"Traditional Chinese medicine also covers men's and gynecology. If a man doesn't lift or a woman doesn't adjust, doesn't he have to see a doctor?"
"There are so many cases recorded in medical books. You will understand it after a little study. Don't make a fuss..."
Li Shimin said oh.
"Come on...I won't talk to you about this."
He turned and said,
"Tell me about Feng Chan. Do you really support me going to Mount Tai to Feng Chan?"
Xu Fenglei looked at Li Er and asked:
"Does Your Majesty want to go?"
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, a little hesitant.
This gesture is a bit similar to Cheng Qian just now, otherwise the two of them could be said to be father and son.
"Of course he wants to go."
Changsun Wuguo answered,
"Go to Mount Tai in a mighty way, make a fuss, and everyone will know about it. Show off your achievements."
"Who can say no?"
Li Shimin pushed her.
'Hey, don't say it so bluntly..." he muttered.
"Haha, it's better to be more straightforward. Who doesn't love being holy in front of others? Not to mention being holy in front of everyone in the world."
Xu Fenglei laughed and said,
"I completely understand His Majesty's heart! If it were me, I would have the same idea."
Are you pretending!
This is human nature. Who doesn’t like it throughout the ages?
"In fact, I don't agree with Your Majesty going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen."
Xu Fenglei said again,
"As Wei Zheng said, if your majesty wants to show his merits to heaven, he can do it in the suburbs of Beijing. Why bother to travel so far and waste people and money?"
"Is it because Qin Shihuang did this that he has to go?"
Li Shimin raised his head slightly and listened carefully.
"I believe that Mount Tai is more beautiful than other mountains and rivers, but your Majesty knows how much this trip will cost. If it is grander, it will almost cost Datang's annual fiscal revenue!"
Xu Fenglei said,
"So, I originally disapproved of it."
"But last year, I discussed an issue with Qingquan, and that was the business issue of Fenglei Bank."
"In the past few years, Chang'an and surrounding areas have become saturated. If we do not expand our business, profits will remain unchanged or even decline!"
“It’s urgent to expand our business across the country!”
Li Shimin snorted softly.
"You are sincere and have exposed your purpose."
He said,
"You just want to make me agree to your three excessive demands through the exchange of interests! As for what the matter is, you don't care."
"Whether I want to be enshrined in Zen or I want to build a palace, it's all the same to you, right?"
Xu Fenglei nodded decisively.
"That's right."
He responded,
"I don't care what your Majesty wants to do. I just want to make conditions and benefits that your Majesty is willing to accept. That's enough."
"Besides, developing bank business is also of great benefit to the royal family. With the profits coming, aren't you two just lying around to collect the money?"
"As for public opinion, I also said it in court today that if I am willing to let the court collect taxes, it can be regarded as paying protection fees. In such a business, if I win, Your Majesty wins, and the court also wins, it is a three-win situation!"
"Oh no, His Majesty also received a free trip to become a Buddhist monk. It was like Qin Shihuang looking in the mirror - a win-win situation, a big win, a special win!"
"Why not?"
Before making the request, Xu Fenglei had already considered all aspects.
No one will have trouble with interests.
He is not the kind of tough guy who doesn't get any money. If he has money, let's make it together!
"...Where did you come up with all these weird words? Why did Qin Shihuang look in the mirror..."
Li Shimin pouted and said,
"According to what you say, if I don't agree again, won't I look a little stupid?"
Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly.
"That's right."
He said with certainty,
"So, I believe that with your Majesty's wisdom, you will definitely agree."
Li Shimin touched his chin.
He pondered for a long time, then nodded and said,
"Okay! Since you have considered it so carefully, I agree to it."
"However, the location of the branch needs to be selected with some care... You should know that although I am the master of the world, there are many things that I cannot control."
"There is a saying among the people that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Although I don't like this saying, it is also true."
In the feudal era, physical distance smoothed everything, and the emperor's supreme power had long been eliminated at borders like Lingnan.
A situation like that of later generations, where people could be asked to move the machine gun five meters to the left during a war, could not exist in the Tang Dynasty...
"I see."
Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,
"So I plan to build the first batch of branch villages in big cities where the imperial court has strong control and good public security. Such as Luoyang, Chengdu, Yongzhou and other places."
"These places may not be as prosperous as Jiangnan, but they have fewer hidden dangers. Even if problems arise, they can be quickly resolved by issuing orders."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
These were all the strategies set by Li Qingquan.
"Yes, that's quite thoughtful."
Li Shimin hummed softly,
"You are quite smart. You know that I have been to all these places. Do you want to have your back against this big tree?"
"Is this Fenglei Bank your property, or the royal palace? Why do I feel that I am about to become your little brother?"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"It's just the Imperial Mansion! It's just not obvious."
He cupped his hands and grinned,
"Since your Majesty has agreed, I will thank you in advance."
"When His Majesty consecrates Mount Tai to Weijiahai, it is also the day when Fenglei Bank becomes famous all over the world and blooms everywhere!"
"Your Majesty, happy cooperation!"
