In fact, it's no wonder that Li Shimin can't figure it out, as the emperor, he is very sensitive to things like rebellion, and now I heard that Li Muyun actually plans to support an anti-thief, and she is also a female anti-thief, so it is understandable that he is a little crazy.
But fortunately, Li Muyun had already prepared for this matter, smacked his lips, scratched his head and said: "Brother Huang, I'm thinking about it, anyway, it's also an internal matter of the Dongying people, let's care who fights whom, as long as we give money, we will sell the weapons or something, anyway, we don't lack that bit of iron, not to mention that when they come, they will also transport some iron ore and the like, we are just a substitute worker." ” Li Shimin stared at Li Muyun with deep eyes, and he didn't know if he understood the meaning of the words, so he asked slowly after a long time: "So you are optimistic about that Dongying woman."
Li Muyun wilted the moment he was asked, his eyebrows fluttered and turned into frowns, and he sighed and said: "Brother Huang, in fact, I am not optimistic about anyone, I mean, as long as you give money, even if it is a dog to buy a knife, I will sell it."
At this time, Li Er completely understood what Li Muyun was talking about, and asked in amazement: "Why don't you have any principles at all?"
"I have principles, I will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and I will not do business less than 50,000 taels of gold."
As early as when he was a killer, Li Muyun was particularly envious of those big arms dealers, as soon as the gun cost 100 yuan passed through their hands, the price immediately increased by 20 or 30 times, which was much more than what he made as a killer.
Li Er looked at his righteous brother speechlessly, he really didn't know what to say, and finally he could only point his finger at his nose in vain and said hatefully: "I can ignore these things of yours, but you have to remember that I want eighty percent of that money."
"Deal" Li Muyun snapped his fingers and agreed without any hesitation. 50,000 taels of gold, 20 taels also have 10,000 taels, that is, 100,000 copper coins, which is not a small amount.
Li Shimin looked at Li Muyun, who was a little excited, and faintly felt that something was wrong, and he had already stepped out of the door and took it back, stared at him and asked, "What are your plans to build a steel plant again?"
"Hehe, don't bother."
Li Muyun smiled proudly, leaned over to Li Er's side and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen plans to buy a batch of weapons from Lord Changsun, it is estimated that 50,000 guan is enough, you don't have to worry about raw materials or transportation, and when the iron ore of the Dongying people is transported over, and then sold it, it is estimated that you can hook back about 10,000 guan." ” Profiteer, absolute profiteer, walking on the way back to the palace, Li Er didn't even have the mood to appreciate the gold, and scolded Li Muyun in his heart.
This bastard doesn't have to do anything, he directly has an income of 60,000 yuan, so he has to keep it secret for him and go along with this guy, otherwise the eighty percent of the hush money will be confiscated.
Thinking about the Daming Palace, which is breaking ground, and then thinking about the Taiji Palace, which is cold in winter and hot in summer, Li Shimin decided to endure it, after all, he has no enmity with money, and whoever sells those swords or anything is sold, rather than selling them to those chivalrous men in China who like to make trouble, it is better to sell them to Dongying, at least across the sea, so as not to worry about them doing things.
Of course, there is another thing that needs to be solved at the moment, that is, to wipe the ass of Li Muyun's bastard, after all, the Dongying people have already reported the kidnapping of the princess to Zhongshu Province, if this matter is not settled, while someone is unlucky, 40,000 taels of gold will also not be able to keep it.
Therefore, on the morning of the second day, before the ministers below could say anything, Li Er characterized the whole incident as a misunderstanding, and the so-called kidnapping incident was just a small trick made up by some young people.
Although the courtiers knew that this was not the case, because Li Er personally investigated the case, they naturally did not dare to question such a conclusion.
Besides, those Dongying people didn't mean to continue to sue them, and in the face of the interrogation of the superintendent of the imperial history, they shook their heads like a big windmill, and denied the kidnapping, only saying that someone came to make trouble while their princess was out, and planned to cheat money, but now the thief's tricks have been seen through and there is nothing to do.
Even the fool who squatted at the gate of the city to ask for food would not believe such an excuse, the sad and indignant look of those Dongying people when they complained yesterday was by no means pretended, and the dozens of carriages out of the city could not be faked either.
But even if you know that things are not as simple as Li Er said, even the bitter master is gone now, and the imperial historians can't find out even if they want to, as for asking Li Muyun that bastard, forget it, and think about it with his toes, that guy will definitely not admit that there is such a thing.
However, it is precisely because of this that the people in the court began to re-examine Li Muyun's status in the emperor's heart.
As a courtier, there are many kinds, loyal ministers, traitorous ministers, virtuous ministers, capable ministers, and in addition, there are important ministers and favored ministers The so-called important ministers are courtiers like Li Jing, who are always remembered by the emperor for the first time when something big happens, and then they are entrusted with important tasks.
And the favored ministers are different, this kind of person basically belongs to what to do and what to eat, but I don't know what is favored, usually I don't have to do it, I am the first to rush up if there is a benefit, and I can't even see the shadow if I am in trouble.
It is precisely because this kind of person doesn't do anything that they won't make any big mistakes, plus they usually make the emperor happy with sweet words, and their status is definitely above the important ministers.
To take the simplest example, those with strong business ability in the unit are equivalent to important ministers, who do all the hard work, but they may not necessarily get benefits after they are done, and they are likely to be punished or something at the end of the year.
However, although some individual people's business ability is not very good, they are better than having a good mouth, and they take proper pictures of the leaders on weekdays, and at the end of the year, not only a year-end bonus is a lot, but it is even possible to get an outstanding employee and other awards.
This example may seem very unfair, and those who work are criticized instead of benefiting, and those who do not work are praised, which is simply anti-human.
But if you look at it from a different perspective and look at it from the position of a leader, the idea is completely different.
You're so capable, why do you want to sit in my place if you work so hard?
For the sake of their own status, they must not let such people come up, so they must be suppressed, and these people must not be given the opportunity to ascend.
As for those who don't work and can only make sycophants, these people have no work performance and will not pose a threat to the position of the leader, and second, the leader is better to them, which can be used to attract firepower and share the pressure from below for the leader
