The combination of Bai Qisi and Li Shimin's bodyguards plus the Imperial Guards was quite efficient.
The eunuchs and eunuchs involved in the case were all brought back to the palace, and other participants, such as the accountant, were sent directly to Yongzhou Mansion in Chang'an. (There was no Jingzhao Mansion in the early Tang Dynasty)
The mortals sent by Li Shimin, the officials of Yongzhou Prefecture are naturally cautious. I have to say here that Yongzhou Prefecture, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is a combination of modern government agencies, responsible for civil affairs, criminal investigation, arrests, etc. political affairs.
The direct subordinates of Yongzhou Prefecture are usually the emperor himself or the registered leader at the level of prince. Yongzhou Prefecture, that is, the territory of Chang'an City, is actually under the direct jurisdiction of Li Shimin.
After gathering a group of people, these small officials cheered up. If Li Shimin wanted someone, it would be a big problem if they couldn't help him.
This group of greedy eunuchs did not end well. Li Shimin set a standard. Those with more than a thousand taels would be directly beheaded, and those with less than a thousand taels would be sent directly to the official mines to work as coolies.
The law enforcement of torture in the Tang Dynasty was very strict. This time Li Shimin punished the censors in this way and kept silent. Dealing with the eunuchs was a matter within Li Shimin's palace.
It's not that the censors didn't want to speak. In fact, some of them who had property were very disgusted with corruption, but they suffered from the fact that Li Mingda's two daughters were not as capable.
Then Lao Li's hands removed the moths and rats from the property under his name, and Li Mingda relied on his shameless cuteness to officially take over the right to handle the property.
Send out a few of the little eunuchs around you to take over the processing, and bring the accounts back to Qingfeng and Mingyue for review every month or every three months.
The usable part of the account was thrown to Li Chen and he was asked to run the intelligence agency. For the sake of reputation and to prevent the censor and Wei Zheng from causing trouble for him in the future, Li Mingda finally gave up the private casino and the ladies' hospital.
Restaurant
teahouse
Inn
escort agency
These four industries
As long as the food in the restaurant is good, everything will be fine. In order to give the restaurant a head start, Li Mingda directly asked Li Chen to find the eldest grandson from the imperial kitchen.
Inns followed restaurants to attract businessmen from other places who stayed temporarily and some wealthy residents from outside the city. Occasionally, there were also Chang'an residents who drank too much and were unable to return home before the curfew.
There are three types of inns: poor, middle-class and noble.
The three distinctions correspond to three different levels of information channels.
The next step is the Escort Bureau. It is now the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, which is 635 AD. The Tang Dynasty has never stopped fighting wars of all sizes. It is still very easy to recruit soldiers who have retired.
Li Chen's official identity was that of the emperor's bodyguard. The retired Fubing, Beiya Forbidden Army, Soldier Recruitment, Border Guards, and some people from the Li family clan were able to overwhelm the population with just a little effort.
Li Chen was busy everywhere under Li Mingda's orders every day. In order to fill the vacancy, Li Mingda accepted Li Chen's recommendation and asked his brother Li Guang, who was also a guard in the imperial court, to serve.
Then there is the tea house. To be honest, Li Mingda cannot praise the Tang Dynasty tea. What do you put in it? Peanut milk, Sichuan peppercorns and aniseed.
Li Mingda can still accept the milk and peanuts, but the milk tea quilt and the pepper and aniseed are a bit uncomfortable.
I almost spit it out when I took a whiff of it with Sichuan peppercorns and aniseed.
I miss the tea I drank in modern times. Although I am not someone who can afford to drink tea from a small pot, I can still try ordinary green tea.
Under Li Mingda's secret command, Qingfeng followed Li Chen out of the palace and went to the Western Market to buy a group of female slaves to teach the tea making process. In order to avoid being counterfeited, Li Mingda specifically requested that the teahouse publicly type out Li Mingda's banner, and stated that the counterfeiters wanted Li Mingda to look good.
The Tang Dynasty was not afraid of many things in Lao Li's family. However, hehe, I, Li Mingda, had my word first. For this reason, I even acted cute for three days and bribed Lao Li with the first batch of tea leaves made by Qingfeng himself, and got the imperial gift. The title of "the best tea in the world".
After more than three months of busy work inside and outside, it was almost the Chinese New Year. Since the reputation was not very good when he first opened his business, Li Mingda planned to use his four masters as his assistant.
In the past few months, Li Mingda has been busy, and so has Li Shimin. As soon as the audit was over, Cheng Yaojin and his gang came to find Li Shimin. They wanted someone who knew how to audit the accounts to clean up their property. Down.
Li Shimin originally wanted to agree, but he had to ask Li Mingda for this matter. Li Mingda was so busy, did he have time?
Of course not!
Sometimes Lao Li's face doesn't need to be given so much. Besides, if you help now, how can you ask for benefits from those old gangsters and old foxes in the future?
Under Li Mingda's instruction, Qingfeng and Mingyue rejected Lao Li with the title that was not allowed to be taught outside the school. In order to prevent Lao Li and a bunch of old gangsters and old foxes from getting into trouble, they still agreed to help when they had free time. Check the steps for Lao Li.
Having said this, Li Shimin has nothing to say. In ancient society, it was normal for others not to teach you this kind of talent. It is recognized by both the people and the government. You can refuse to teach skills. There is a certain limit to the inheritance of skills. Set strict rules. If others don't teach you, you can't be strong, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
time flies
The eighth year of Zhenguan was coming to an end soon, and Li Mingda also celebrated his second birthday.
This year, a lot of big things happened.
Li Mingda confirmed several pieces of information about Li Chen that he obtained in the palace.
Syrian missionary Aroben entered China, and Christianity began to be introduced into China.
According to the Hu merchants and Tang merchants who had returned safely from the Silk Road, the Arab Empire, also known as Dashi in the Tang Dynasty, captured Damascus.
Li Mingda felt that the reason why Aroben came was because Syria was already a green world. It would be good for him to come here alive. Li Mingda, the first Western sect, was not cold, but Aroben could use it later.
Next is the unlucky child of Tuyuhun. You can't say that you are unlucky. You see, the country has not been destroyed yet.
Li Mingda was really surprised. The Turks had been beaten into grandsons by the Tang Dynasty, but Tuyuhun was still alive.
Actually, after thinking about it later, I figured it out, it’s the butterfly effect.
The grassland Erfeng Tuli and Jie Lirang, who are known as the invincible fighters in the world, have never had an easy time since they returned to the grassland after being beaten by Datang in the Weishui River.
The Turks were nomadic people, and they could not recuperate as quickly as the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, they had suffered such a huge loss and had no chance to cultivate themselves. By the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turks were completely finished than in history.
Some of them ran west, and some of them surrendered directly on the spot, declaring Li Shimin the Khan of Heaven, and that was the end of it. It has been four years now, and Jieli has been hanging for many years. The Tang Dynasty was famous all over the world, and Tuyuhun was smart enough to give in early. He is not looking for trouble, so he has survived until now. However, after Cheng Ping has passed these years and the Turks died, he has also received a group of Turkic immigrants, so he has a little bit of normal thinking.
The palace banquet in the eighth year of Zhenguan came as scheduled. Li Mingda looked at the aristocratic officials of the Tang Dynasty, baring his teeth and smiling like a thief.
