Li Shimin refused to let Li Mu write a memorial to admit his mistake, which was actually a helpless move. After all, Dali Temple is a place with strict laws. If Li Mu continues to mess around like this, how can Dali Temple still try cases in the future? Of course, the main reason is the money, which is a real millions of dollars. Just a few days ago? If this is not the case, Li Mu would have to slept in Dali Temple for half a month, and Li Shimin would be willing to do so, but now, in order to make money better, Li Mu naturally has to let Li Mu go out.

Interests are the ultimate indicators that influence the direction of things. Li Shimin was short of money, and his eyes were green. This year, he fought a big battle, and although he won, he returned it. The expenses that followed have increased significantly. Although he snatched more than 200,000 guan from Jie Li, the amount of money was too short to reward the soldiers. And don’t forget that besides snatching money, there are still people?

The captured slaves must eat food, right? The refugees on the border must be recruited and resettled, right? You must know that those who are hungry can do everything. In the end, several Turkic tribes joined together, and they were just a cavalry. They could not do big things and harass small towns on the border. Isn’t it all troublesome?

At this time, money and grain are the root of life. If there is grain, in the hands of aristocratic families, they have to pay for it. Li Shimin had no money and could only stare at him. Therefore, as long as he could get money, he would be a good person, and some of his faults would become pleasing to the eye.

Isn’t this, my dear call?

Li Mu had already figured out Li Shimin's temper, so he decided to persist and then stick to it. Sure enough, things went in the direction he expected, and his face was finally saved.

Li Mu knew that if he didn't explain it clearly to Li Shimin, he would not be able to let him go. He sorted out his thoughts and started from the beginning.

"Your Majesty, I will talk about this matter first. How did I get to this day step by step?" Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "The first three companies, my initial expectations were only one. It was the Tang Dynasty Jianye, the so-called 'jianye', the construction of construction. Because many Chang'an nobles recently were looking for craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to build a fire wall. I thought that I could not work in vain, so I thought about establishing the Tang Dynasty Jianye Company. The so-called 'company' is the company, the business, the company means to join the public's power to operate. This cannot be considered my invention. The Ministry of Industry has the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry and Yu, and I thought of it after this."

Li Mu continued: "For 'Salt and Mine', I didn't plan to set up a company. But the day before yesterday I met the eldest son of Duke Zhao, Changsun Chong, and Wang Shizhong's younger brother Wang Pu, I found that this matter was not so easy to solve. Because according to Duke Zhao and Dushizhong's intentions, the two families wanted to occupy most of the benefits. But your Majesty, which one is easy to mess with, Qinghe Cui Family, Zhaojun Li Family, Duke Shen Family, Dugu Family, etc.? Which one is not well-informed? The day after I met them, many people came to find me and firmly opposed the division between the two families taking over the big ones, and I felt it was very unfair!"

Li Shimin was not surprised that Minister Sun Wuji and Wang Gui made such a request. It is understandable that human nature is the leader of their respective forces, with the highest official position and the greatest influence, so naturally I feel that I should take the majority. But when others oppose it, Li Shimin is not surprised. The losses and benefits caused by the incident are shared by everyone. Why do you bear no more losses than others, but you have to take the majority when you have benefits? Obviously, there is unfairness.

Li Shimin imagined what to do if he encountered this. Thinking about it would be a headache, because no one is easy to mess with. It seems that it is not suitable for him to offend anyone in his position. But in the end, if he is forced to choose, he should still tend to help Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui. After all, the role of these two people is much greater than that of others.

But the result now is obviously Li Mu did not do this. Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and asked, "Continue, how did you do it?"

Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you are a good friend. I am a person with a sense of justice. When doing things, the first thing I care about is fairness. Since everyone has their own reasons, I have to deal with it impartially. Money! I will not lie! So I came up with a very fair distribution method based on my previous experience of doing business, spending money and accounting for how many shares I have. I then introduced this set of best solutions based on my previous experience in doing business, how much money I spend and how many shares I have. I also named it a joint-stock company."

"The meaning of this stock is derived from rubbing hemp ropes." Li Mu had already thought of this set of rhea and explained to Li Shimin: "Have your Majesty ever seen weaving hemp ropes? A hemp rope is made of the thinnest hemp, and then rubbed it into a thick rope. The weight of the thin rope can bear is small, but it will be larger when rubbed into a thick rope. Each thin rope is called a stock.'Share' means the part. Shares are the part occupied by each investor. Every investor is the owner of this share, and is called a shareholder. I divide the company into 100 shares, and each share is 10,000 guan. According to the amount of money spent, it determines the right to speak. Simply put, whoever has more money will have more dividends, which is the final say!"

Li Mu actually didn't know if the definition of shares in later generations was like this, but in the Tang Dynasty, what he said was a definition, and as long as it made sense, there would be no problem. Moreover, his explanation was easier to understand. At least the hemp rope was divided into shares, and Li Shimin still knew it.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's really clever, but I have a question. If you ask them to pay, they are willing to pay? You shouldn't have cheated you, right?"

"Your Majesty, I am an upright person!" Li Mu said seriously: "How could I cheat? I just did some calculations for them."

"What's the account?"

"I tell them through calculation that mines and salt make at least two million guan a year. They spend one million guan a capital and can make two million guan a profit. One turn to two, double the profit! Moreover, most of the capital of this million guan is still spent on them. Moreover, the investment is one-time, but the profit is available every year. Isn't it a fool if I don't invest in the stock?"

Li Shimin was still a little confused and said, "I still didn't understand what you mean, isn't this money still profitable?"

"Um..." Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It can't be completely counted now, but it won't be used so much for the time being. Your Majesty can use it, as long as it is returned in time."

Li Shimin's eyes rolled. Although it was a bit disappointing that money was not a pure profit, it was a solution to the urgent problem, and it was not unacceptable. Suddenly, Li Shimin thought of a problem: the investment could be doubled, and the money invested could be transferred back. Such a good thing, why is it cheaper for others?

Li Shimin threw out this question, Li Mu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you understand what I mean? I've told a lie for your Majesty!"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What does it mean, just explain it!"

"Your Majesty, I ask you, like you are now, does Your Majesty have the money to invest in the shares?"

Li Shimin shook his head. If he had money, would he still need Li Mu?

"Yes, Your Majesty has no money to invest. I don't have it either, so what should I do? I can only find a rich person to invest. No one's money is picked up. If there is no sufficient return, who will invest money? Therefore, double returns must be given."

"But they have earned all this money, where is my profit?"

"Your Majesty, you didn't make anything!" Li Mu explained to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the salt company mines the originally toxic rock salt. When the company operates, they have to pay for the salt. They have to contract the rock salt mine. This money is your net profit. This is not originally. If there is no salt company, you can't make this money. The same is true for the mining industry. They have to contract the mine and also give you money. These two parts of money were not originally available. With these two companies, you can have these two parts of money. In this way, you don't have to invest a penny, enjoy the fruits and make money. Are you not satisfied?"

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Then I have no choice! Your Majesty asks you for your good friend!"

Li Shimin frowned and thought about Li Mu's words, but he still didn't understand it and asked, "If I follow your statement, I can enjoy the fruits of my life, Fu Ji and Shu Jie can also make a profit, but where does this money come from? Whose money did you make?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I will give you another example, and you should be able to understand."

"Suppose I have a coal mine, and coal is valuable. But if the coal is not dug out, it will be worthless. There is a group of refugees next to the coal mine. These refugees have no property, but they have the strength to help me dig out the coal. They work, and I give them money, and they buy food for food. The farmers who farmed the land sell the grain and buy the coal for heating. I sell the coal and make profits. In this way, my coal, the strength of the refugees, and the grain of farmers have all value. If your Majesty asks who makes who makes whoever money, and whoever makes whoever money, because coal and the power of the refugees produce value, this value is money. When the total amount of value gradually increases, the money needed on the market will also increase. Or the amount of money does not increase, the value of money will increase. On the other hand, I say this, do you understand?"

Li Shimin shook his head. He really didn't understand and was even more confused.

Li Mu didn't know how to explain it. He didn't understand the concept of monetary inflation when he was studying in later generations. It was the truth that was summarized through practice when he was balancing the game data. The relationship between the total amount of ingots in a server and the output of gold coins in the game is a small inflation law. This is why some players can be a businessman in the game, and they can exchange ingots or even money after reselling in the auction house for more than ten minutes. Most people may not be able to learn skills by fighting monsters all day and night.

This is a trick! It cannot be solved by diligence alone.
