Li Mu said in a hurry, first took a sip of wine, then sighed, and saw that Li Xiaogong was a little anxious, he said, "The prince is well-informed, and he knows that he is under the order of Your Majesty to run a business and fill the treasury. It seems that he has granted great authority, but in fact he is everywhere. There is a censor named Wang Jingze who will submit a memorial to hit me, so that I am not worried!"

Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "What do you tell me about these things? I have long ignored the affairs of the court. It's useless to tell me."

"The prince misunderstood and just complained to the prince." Then, Li Mu continued: "Just say that in business, those who compete for profit with the people cannot do it, and those who compete for profit with the people must pay taxes. You are well-informed and should understand. This business is just a few, just food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you can't compete for profit with the people, then who will compete for profit? Are they people like nobles, noble families, and clans?"

"It's hard!" Li Mu sighed again and said, "That's me, talented and talented, God..."

Li Xiaogong understood. This kid was not helpless, but was bragging about himself in different ways, and said angrily: "I don't have time to listen to you brag. What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

"Why is the prince so impatient?" Li Mu shook his head, and saw that his face was flushed, and he thought he would not care about the drunk man, saying, "The filling of the treasury is nothing more than the four words of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. It is necessary to increase revenue and reducing expenditure. Therefore, after setting up the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I found more than twenty accounts, and flipped out the expense books in the palace, and reconciled them one by one."

"Ha!" Li Xiaogong laughed and said, "You are not afraid of offending people. You can know what this kind of account looks like without checking it. What can you tell?"

"Hey, don't say that, you really see something."

Li Xiaogong raised his eyelids and said, "What did you see?"

"The palace teachings and offices are very expensive."

When Li Xiaogong heard this, he was amused and said, "Boy, don't joke with me. You don't know where the Jiaofangsi is?"

Li Mu said seriously, "Of course I know that the system contains the Jiaofangsi specializes in the teaching and performance of the palace music. The problem appears here. I checked the records. Your Majesty this year, only on the birthday of the Supreme Emperor, the birthday of His Majesty, the Queen's birthday, and the Queen's birthday, and the music and dance of the Jiaofangsi were used in total. Apart from these four times, there was no record related to the palace. Instead, the royal relatives, nobles, officials, etc. frequently called the actors of the Jiaofangsi to the mansion. In other words, it was the money from the treasury that they raised singing, dancing and musical prostitutes for these royal relatives, nobles, and officials. These people regarded the Jiaofangsi as Pingkangsi, and they did not spend money!"

Li Xiaogong heard something, frowned and looked at Li Mu, "Boy, do you really don't understand, or pretend to be... The Jiaofangsi is also called an official prostitute. There have been cases in the previous dynasty. It's just this thing-"

"No!" Li Mu said seriously: "The prince is not bad. The previous dynasty was the previous dynasty, and now it is the present. Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty was not kind, so the Jiaofangsi became an official prostitute. He also received the retribution he deserved and ruined the country. Now, Your Majesty is wise, thrifty and simple, and has changed the extravagant style of the previous dynasty. Let me ask, Your Majesty does not value singing, dancing, feasting, but the court officials sing every night. Is this reasonable?"

Li Xiaogong was displeased and said, "According to what you said, I am singing every night, so I am not alone?"

"No, no, no." Li Mu waved his hand repeatedly and said, "The prince is essentially different from those slutty people. The boy dared to ask, "Will the prince go to Chunfeng Tower to pay?"

"Of course I have to give it!" Li Xiaogong blushed and said, "When did I miss the money? I will give you a reward at will, and it will be a silver ingot!"

"The prince is so generous!" Li Mu praised and said, "Isn't that the prince is the prince, and even the prostitute is paid. But these shameless villains are reluctant to spend money on prostitute. They are just taking advantage of the palace. Are they still human? Your Majesty is your brother. After suffering such a big loss, are you not angry at all?"

"..." Li Xiaogong's brows frowned even more. He suddenly realized that he was still surrounded by Li Mu. Jiaofangsi was an official prostitute. This is a recognized unspoken rule and there is no need to argue at all. However, Li Mu said that it was a slut who took advantage of His Majesty. He asked him again, "As a brother, was angry or not."

If you are angry, you will be dragged into the water by him. If you are not angry, as a prince, if you don’t have the same heart as His Majesty, wouldn’t that be a tragic act?

Li Xiaogong was so angry that his teeth itched. He glared at Li Mu fiercely, and gritted his teeth and said, "I am naturally extremely angry! What can I do? I can't kill everyone!"

"There is a way!" Li Mu slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "In order to rectify this unhealthy practice, it is also for the benefit of Your Majesty to avoid harm. As the Minister of the Interior, I am planning a major event! I will reform the Jiaofangsi and completely eliminate this kind of "official prostitute". In the future, the Jiaofangsi will be a pure land and will not be defiled by any slutty!"

"..." Li Xiaogong looked at Li Mu like a fool and said, "Boy, are you drunk? Why are you just talking nonsense? Do you know how many people are in the Jiaofangsi? Do you know how many people are involved in the Jiaofangsi? How many people are involved in the Jiaofangsi? Yes, you are deeply favored by Your Majesty now, and no one dares to provoke you easily. But if you arouse public anger, the situation will be different. Smart people should know how to advance and retreat and protect yourself. Do you think you have a long life if you cause trouble all day long?"

"Thank you for your consideration for me." Li Mu thanked him first, picked up the wine pot and gave it to Li Xiaogong. Hearing the old boy's words, the logic was clear and meticulous, but he still didn't drink too much. This fooled man, it would be best if he drank too much, Li Mu quickly persuaded him to drink. Li Xiaogong shook his head and sighed, and drank another cup.

Li Mu continued: "I thought about the consequences. It's like Dayu controlling the flood. It's not possible to block the river directly. You have to open up the pyramids and disperse the water flow. The so-called "blocking is worse than diversion", which is the reason. Therefore, the boy thought of opening a brothel."

The alcohol was a little bit over, and Li Xiaogong's thinking began to slow down. He frowned and read it again from the end. This should be the case. Li Mu wanted to reform the Jiaofangsi and cancel the official prostitutes. But he himself knew that all the noble officials in the court had good looks at Jiaofangsi. He did not dare to play the same role, so he planned to open a brothel...

"You want to make money!"

"Yes!" Li Mu slapped his chin and said, "It's just making money! Instead of letting them play in vain, it's better to make a little money. I've already thought about it. The brothel I opened must be the best in Chang'an, no, the best in the Tang Dynasty and the best in the world! Our service purpose is to give customers a fairy-like consumption experience. What you think of, I will give you. What you can't imagine, I will let you see. I like pure love and pure love, and if you like boldness and boldness, as long as you spend money, all the requirements will be met."

Li Xiaogong remained silent. He was imagining Li Mu's words. If there was such a brothel, he would definitely be the first guest. The experience of the gods is exciting to think about!

Li Mu's voice was still bewitching in his ears: "Your Majesty, you think, Jiaofangsi is professional! In terms of quality, let's win first! Who are the women in Jiaofangsi? They are all relatives of criminals. They are well-educated, well-educated, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can they not know how to do it? What kind of people are in Pingkangli? They are all from poor backgrounds, so it is really embarrassing to let them recite poems and add fragrance to their red sleeves!"

"Which of our target guests is not an identity? Do ordinary women like to look at them? They have to be the women of the Jiaofangsi. They dress up like whatever they want. If you like to recite poems, we will recite poems. If you like to play chess, we will play chess. It won't matter, you can teach them. There are many talented people hidden in the Jiaofangsi. The account rooms in our house are selected by the Jiaofangsi. One can handle three people, and the accounts are settled very quickly!"

Li Xiaogong was so excited that he said, "I still feel too bold. No matter what, the people in the Jiaofangsi are also from the palace. If you take them all out of the palace, how can your Majesty explain it?"

"Can you just keep some?" Li Mu had already thought of the explanation and said, "I will ask them about their personal opinions. If they are willing to leave the palace, let them leave the palace. If they are unwilling to leave the palace, let them stay. Men, you can ask if they have any skills and arrange to work in the Ministry of Works. If they are not crafted, they always have the strength to be a servant, a turtle man, and a teapot. Isn't it also a job? In short, it is necessary to reduce the burden on the Jiaofangsi and raise them all, and hundreds of people have to eat in a day! It's better to open a brothel and let them earn their own food. What do you think of the prince?"

Li Xiaogong was completely convinced and nodded frequently, saying, "That's the case - OK, I have done this business and I will work with you. How to invest in the way?"

Li Mu laughed, "Boy once said that when it comes to the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will not participate in the shares. In this way, the Jiaofangsi will send someone to help the prince establish a charter. The official account will account for 30% of the members. The brothel business is not very good after all, and it involves the official office. Even if I do, I will make a lot of money in private. The remaining part will be handled by the prince. If the prince wants to monopolize, then it will be exclusive. The prince does not want to monopolize, and it is okay to recruit people into the party. It depends on the prince's thoughts."

Li Xiaogong thought for a while and said, "It is not good for me to monopolize it. I have two younger brothers, one is the Prince of Jibei and the other is the Duke of Hanyang County. Each of them accounts for 10%. Do you recognize the Prince of Jiangxia?"

"I have met a few times, but I have no contact."

"I'll go and tell him that he will account for 20% and I will account for 30%. How much does one-component cost be? You can tell me how much."

Li Mu stretched out a finger and said, "A total of 10,000 yuan is worth ten thousand yuan. I will make no less than 100,000 yuan a year in guaranteeing this business. If it is less, I will pay for it."

"100,000 yuan?" Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "Don't talk big. As far as I know, Chunfeng Tower only has 30,000 yuan or 40,000 yuan a year. How dare you say 100,000 yuan?"

Li Mu smiled confidently and repeated again: "I'll make up for it if I don't have it!"

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong didn't say nonsense and said, "Success, you will take the money away later!"

"Okay!"
