No one present is a fool.

Wang Gui made a small abacus. When he first saw the memorial, he might be able to scare him for a while, but if he thinks about it carefully, he can't hide it from anyone.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji have seen through it one after another, let alone Li Mu, this damage trick was made by him, so how could it be unclear? Li Shimin glanced at Wang Gui with his eyes, thinking in his heart that a person who is old and immortal is a thief. This old thing is indeed a thief. You are building roads for your own business, but you just say it so well.

Is it better to agree?

Li Shimin opened his mouth and thought about it but gave up. He wanted to be a wise ruler and could not leave such taints that were criticized.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji shook his head gently and signaled Li Shimin to refuse. However, Li Shimin could not refuse this matter. No matter what Wang Gui's purpose was, building roads itself was a favorable thing for the rule of Li Tang. As long as there was a possibility of promotion, there was no reason to refuse.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu, and when he saw that he was not in his own way, he was angry for no reason and said, "Li Mu, you heard it too. Do you think Wang Aiqing's proposal, can I agree?"

"I think this matter is not in charge."

Li Shimin almost got out of breath by him. If you can't control it, you can't control it. Why do you do a lot of breathing? Li Shimin glared over and said, "What can I control it? I'm asking you, your answer is, where did so much nonsense come from!"

"Oh," Li Mu responded, blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you are making things difficult for me. I have mentioned to Your Majesty that Your Majesty did not say that this matter would be led by the court after harvesting food next autumn-"

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this. He didn't remember saying this. What was Li Mu making up?

"What are you talking nonsense? When did I say it?"

Li Mu hurriedly got up from Hu's chair, leaned on the ground with a look of fear, shouting: "I said the wrong thing, please forgive me!"

Seeing Li Mu suddenly lying on the ground to apologize, the three of them present had different expressions. Changsun Wuji was completely confused and thought to himself, something was wrong with this statement. When did Li Mu talk about road construction with His Majesty?

Li Shimin was also confused, but while he was confused, he felt something was strange. Why did this kid say this? Is it because he was a brain disease and had hysteria? Or was he talking about something and wanted me to cooperate with him to act? But I was annoyed, what was the idea that he had not discussed with me in advance! What should I do now? Should I get angry? Or help him up?

Wang Gui was frightened. Wang Pu came back and said it was true. Li Mu did not lie to him. Your Majesty really wanted to build roads after the harvest next year. No wonder when he just talked about this, His Majesty was a little bad. It turned out that my Taiyuan Wang family was the first to get a chance! In terms of mahjong, isn’t this just an interceptor?

But what should I do about the current situation? Judging from Your Majesty's voice, you should guess that it was the leaked news from Li Mu. Wang Gui secretly thought in his heart that Li Mu has apologized now. If I pretend to be stupid again, Your Majesty will be furious.

Wang Gui simply bowed to the ground and whispered loudly: "Please don't blame Zhulu Hou. It is my memory that I am obsessed with profit. Your Majesty can count all the blame on me."

Changsun Wuji:???

Li Shimin:???

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, who had just felt that they had some grasp of the situation, were completely confused again. Both of them couldn't figure out if they were wrong or they still didn't wake up. Wang Gui said that he would take money and food to build roads, and he didn't want a penny from the court. Then he even bowed to the ground to apologize, saying that he was obsessed with profits?

Haha, okay, if the world is full of such a person who is so obsessed with profit, the world will be peaceful!

Li Shimin felt that the situation must be clarified, otherwise he would immediately become a fool. Li Shimin said without saying a word and said, "Wang Aiqing, get up first. Assistant, you two are waiting outside the hall. I have something to ask Li Mu."

Wang Gui bowed again: "Please don't punish Zhulu Hou!"

"Get out!"

Li Shimin said coldly, Eunuch Gao came over and helped Wang Gui up, and the three of them went out to wait together.

Li Mu heard the sound of the door closing, and without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, he stood up. Li Shimin glared at him angrily and said, "I know that this matter must have something to do with you. Why don't you discuss with me if you are doing anything?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "I didn't have time to write half of the memorials at home. Who knew that Wang Gui was so anxious?"

Li Mu briefly told the matter, how to fool Wang Pu's self-righteousness, and focused on his ideas and the operability of this matter. After hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed. Just like Li Mu's guess, Li Shimin was a crazy emperor. He could not refuse such things as someone who used money to build roads.

"You are really Guan Zhong of me. You have done such incredible things! I really don't know how to reward you!"

Li Mu automatically filtered out this sentence, not knowing how to reward it, which means "I won't reward this time". It means not saying it.

"Your Majesty, I just said that to give Wang Gui a little color. You can't let him take advantage of it, right? Your Majesty will look angry but helpless, and then you will bargain with him. Please rest assured that you will not let Wang Gui take advantage of it."

"Okay, I believe in you, I will do whatever you want, and I will cooperate." Li Shimin agreed with a slight excitement in his heart. Now he understood what Li Mu said, "I have endless fun with others." It was indeed very interesting.

The two discussed it and, to be safe, they rehearsed it again. Suddenly, Li Mu saw that there was a pot of tea on Li Shimin's table, poured it into his hands, and poured it on his face. Li Shimin was not sure about it, and Li Mu did not explain. After he made himself 'cold sweat', he put the teapot back and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you can let them in, be angry, pay attention to their expressions."

Li Shimin nodded, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Great officials, let them in!"

The gate of the hall opened, and Eunuch Gao, Changsun Wuji, and Wang Gui returned to the hall.

Seeing the scene in the hall, Li Shimin looked angry, Li Mu bent his body and trembled all over. When he saw this, he knew that Long Yan must have been furious just now, and Li Mu was scolded so hard that he was squirting.

Li Mu used his own body to cover Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw it, sighed, and said, "Wang Aiqing, I have agreed to your proposal. I can't let you lose money. Let Li Mu tell you about the matter."

Wang Gui bowed quickly: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

"snort!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, not giving him a good look.

Li Mu grinned and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave."

"What are you going to retreat? Just say it here!" Li Shimin said coldly: "If you leave my sight, you might say something else? Just say it here, and say in front of me, I want to see where you are standing!"

"promise."

Li Mu swallowed his saliva with difficulty and turned around. Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji were immediately startled when they saw him.

They had heard the word "sweat all over the head" before, and this was the first time they had seen someone who was really "sweat all over the head". Li Mu's face was full of sweat, as if he had taken a shower. When Eunuch Gao saw it, he shouted, "Ah, what's wrong with the Marquis?"

"Don't panic, father-in-law, the disease has not been cured yet, it's weak, it's very weak."

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty, Zhulu Hou is in good health, look--"

Only then did Li Shimin realize what Li Mu meant by tea making. He was funny and angry, and hummed, "Don't bother him! He asked for it!"

Li Mu hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes... Let's talk about the serious matter."

Li Mu sighed and said, "Shizhong Wang, you are not too authentic in your work. I was close to Ling, so I said a few more words. I didn't expect you to make a fuss about this. Shizhong Wang, are you calculating me for doing this?"

"Unforgivable!" Wang Gui swears, saying, "I have no intention of plotting against the Marquis. I am just self-righteous and smart. Marquis Wan Wang will forgive me."

"Oh!" Li Mu sighed and said, "What if I don't forgive me? Forget it, Wang Shizhong, now Your Majesty has agreed to you to build the road between Chang'an and Taiyuan. You first recruit refugees to build roads with grain, and then set up a checkpoint to charge. Now you have two choices, one is to charge for three years, and no matter how much, no matter how much, no matter how much, it will not be charged again. Second, according to the current average grain price, the price of the grain consumed by the Wang family in Taiyuan is allowed to spend two or three, and you can stop if you have enough. Choose one of the two, and you can decide."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he suddenly realized. It turned out that Wang Gui had this idea. He first used grain to recruit refugees to build roads, and then set up checkpoints to collect money. Isn’t this the ‘road tax’?

It costs two or three times, one or five times, and you can make 50% of the money! Where can I find this transaction? And it consumes the food stored, but it is real money and silver. The calculation is really good!

No, this idea is definitely impossible for the Wang brothers to come up with!

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment and understood completely. When it came to what Li Mu said just now, the matter was complete. This matter should be Li Mu's plan to Li Shimin. He missed it while chatting with Wang Pu. When Wang Gui knew about it, he wrote the memorial, which was discovered by Li Shimin.

Yes, this will make it round.

No wonder Li Mu had so many cold sweats. He cut off the imperial court's wealth!

Changsun Wuji's eyes rolled and he said in his heart, "No, Wang Gui can't take all the advantages." He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I..."

"You need to say anything about auxiliary machine."

"You..."

"I told you not to say it!" Li Shimin was stern, and Changsun Wuji opened his mouth and sighed helplessly. Although he envied the fact that Wang Shi's family in Taiyuan had taken a big advantage, he did not dare to sing against Li Shimin. He glanced at Wang Gui enviously and thought to himself that he had to let his son go around with Li Mu more, otherwise he would have lost such a good opportunity!

Wang Gui was very excited. The memorial was really timely. If it were one step later, this good thing would have been gone. However, how could the reward be very different from my younger brother? He clearly remembered that the years Wang Pu said yesterday were five to ten years, and the profit was at least double, but now it has shrunk. Five to ten years has become three years, and doubled it has become two to three, only 50%!

Wang Gui was about to open his mouth, but when he saw Li Mu staring at him, Wang Gui understood it. It seemed that His Majesty was still angry. The shrinking meaning is that the profit is only so much. Do you like to do it or not? It’s just right if you don’t. I will do it myself next year!

Forget it! Just a little less, just a little less, I'll do it!

Wang Gui was not very proficient in mathematics, so he was not sure whether it was appropriate to calculate the year or the money. After thinking for a while, he had no idea. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not choose, please let Your Majesty be the leader."

"Hmph." Li Shimin said without comment: "Li Mu, I'll leave this matter to you. You have disappointed me once. I don't want to have a second time. Otherwise, don't say a winter vacation, I will let you have a vacation for the rest of your life."

"ah?"

Li Shimin made a 'head-behead' gesture, and Li Mu shook his neck in fear.

"Everyone gets back, I have a toothache, I don't want to see you!"

"I'm going to leave."

The three of them turned around and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall. As soon as they stepped out of the hall gate, Li Mu waved his fist and hit Wang Gui with a black eye. Wang Gui covered his eyes with pain. Changsun Wuji quickly hugged Li Mu's waist. Eunuch Gao sent them out. He was about to go back, but when he saw the fight started, he quickly ran over to stop him.

"What are you doing? What are you doing... Oh, Marquis, how are you hitting someone! Stop it, don't alarm Your Majesty!"

"Wang Gui, you immortal, how dare you harm me! I originally promised you the benefit of the Wang family in Taiyuan. You are the old villain who has revenged your grudges and hatred. Please wait for me, I... I will buy Yexiang now, I will pour it into your well!"

"Marty, I am stupid, I am stupid! Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Wang Gui did not dare to defend himself and shouted loudly, covering his beaten eyes.

"Let me go!" Li Mu broke free from the control of Eunuch Gao and Changsun Wuji, and strode angrily, cursing while walking, and Wang Gui didn't dare to reply.

Eunuch Gao looked at Wang Gui's beaten eyes, tsk, and said kindly: "Shizhong Wang, your eyes are all blue. How about our family help you invite the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

"No, no, thank you for your kindness." Wang Gui waved his hand quickly, and it was already embarrassing. He was so embarrassed that he could not have such a face.

Changsun Wuji didn't take advantage of it, and his mood was not smooth. Seeing that Wang Gui was beaten, he felt better and said, "Shujie, it's not that I'm talking about you. You are too scheming and have to behave well when you get a advantage. You say you are not moral or moral, Li Mu rarely reveals news to you. Just post a memorial and discuss it. Why are you pretending to be selfless? Are you confused by Your Majesty or Li Mu a fool?"

"Now, your Majesty first robbed meat from his mouth and offended the chef. I see you, you are obsessed with money, and there is no right or wrong. It's not that Li Mu is angry, you are not worthy of being pitiful!"

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he threw down his sleeves and strode away.

Wang Gui covered his eyes and opened his mouth to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
Chapter completed!
