"Li Mu!"

Li Shimin rushed into the yard angrily. Seeing that the yard was full of people, he suppressed his anger and turned around and turned back. There were so many people here, he had to take care of his dignity and keep a face for Li Mu. Eunuch Gao ran over, gently pulled Li Mu's sleeve, and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, your majesty is not up to date, you should come out." (Refreshed in ten minutes)

"I haven't finished talking here-"

"Just come out!" Eunuch Gao held Li Mu's sleeve and refused to let go. Li Mu had no choice but to put down the drawings in his hand and bowed, "Sorry, everyone wait a moment, come when you go."

Everyone can understand it, but it won’t be possible if they don’t understand it. Who dares to tease the emperor’s tiger beard?

Eunuch Gao pulled Li Mu out of the door, turned the corner of the street, and came to Li Shimin's carriage. Li Shimin squatted on the shaft of the carriage, looking depressed. Seeing that Li Mu came over, Li Mu ignored him, and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if you have something to do, you will scream and I will run to the palace in a flash. Why bother you?"

"If I don't come, you will almost mortgage my country!" Li Shimin said to his lips and swallowed it again, but he couldn't say it. He was the one who asked Li Mu to let go. Now that Li Mu let go, he was going to drag him back again. This matter is really a bit unreasonable.

"Your Majesty is talking about national debt?" Li Mu smiled and said, "I am so content with this."

"Are you still satisfied?" Li Shimin pointed at Li Mu, so angry that he couldn't speak: "What are you so proud of? How can you be such a skillful method?"

"Aren't you smart?" Li Mu said strangely: "I have not used the national treasury. The treasury is 1,000 yuan per ounce. I can't be proud of what Your Majesty asks for? Although it is a national debt issued, it only has half profit and is almost uninterested."

"But you also mortgaged the management rights! Without the management rights, this Chidao is equivalent to building it for these merchants."

Li Mu was calm and said, "Your Majesty is such a bad word. Are you the king's ministers in the territories? Merchants are also His Majesty's people. How can we distinguish them like this? Your Majesty, don't forget that merchants also pay taxes. Thirty taxes are one."

"You also know it's thirty tax one." Li Shimin snorted: "I earn twenty-nine less!"

"Your Majesty, you have not paid for it, aren't you?"

Li Shimin couldn't get it and snorted.

"Your Majesty, there are rules for doing business. Whoever pays more capital will get more benefits. Although the thing of making money for nothing is longing for, its essence, whether it admits it or not, is a "deception". How can there be a business in the world? It is supported by "deception"? This is not a long-term solution."

"What you did is a long-term solution?" Li Shimin curled his lips and said, "I didn't realize that you are raising funds by selling future interests, and you are fishing for exhaustion!"

When Li Mu heard this, he couldn't help but become angry and said, "Your Majesty, you want to do your best, but you don't want to give it to the grass. How can you do such a good thing in the world? I don't have this ability!"

Seeing that Li Muzi had a temper, Li Shimin was worried that he would really give up, so he pulled the words back a little, and said, "I didn't say anything about you, what are you anxious about? I just want to know, what are you going to pay for this national debt? The ugly thing is to say, the money from the national treasury is not enough to be divided into six departments. I will use the money from the internal treasury to build cavalry, and I don't have money to allocate it to you!"

Li Mu thought to himself, he knew it was this sentence. If I hope you can allocate money, I might as well not do anything. Li Mu was too lazy to go around the corner and said directly: "Your Majesty, why not do this. In the future, as long as I take the initiative to say what I want to do, I will not mention the word "money" to Your Majesty. All expenses will be solved by myself. I think the solution is not to worry about Your Majesty. The profits you earn should be paid to the court, and you will have a lot of money. Your Majesty, do you think this is true?"

"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse!" Li Shimin did not give Li Mu a chance to repent, and he bit him to death. Li Mu lowered his head weakly. He finally understood what Li Shimin meant this time and another, and it turned out that he was waiting here.

"Your Majesty, you have taken great pains..." Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Jiang is still so old. If you surrender, your Majesty is still smart."

Li Shimin patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said proudly: "Originally, according to my idea, I should have you signed and written in black and white, but I thought about it again, I would not dare to regret it."

Seeing Li Mu's helpless look, Li Shimin felt even more relieved and asked, "I just saw that there were a lot of people in the yard. Tell me, how did you arrange it?"

Li Mu sighed and said honestly: "The matter has basically been settled. The person His Majesty just saw is the main camp leaders who purchased the treasury bonds this time. He gathered a total of 400,000 jin of funds."

"Forty-million trump card?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "Forty-million trump card is not enough, right?"

"It's not enough." Li Mu nodded and admitted, saying, "If you include sites, cargo warehouses, stables and other facilities, it's naturally not enough. But if you just pave the road, the budget of 400,000 yuan will not be much short of it."

"I didn't understand. What you mean is that the facilities such as warehouses and stables are not built for the time being?"

"Of course I have to build it." Li Mu explained: "But you can do it without this money. I have already wrapped them all."

After staying with Li Mu for a long time, Li Shimin also knew a little about Li Mu's routine. After hearing what he said, Li Shimin understood Li Mu's general idea. He wanted merchants to pay the money. Whoever wanted to run a warehouse would build a warehouse. The idea was good, but Li Shimin was a little unbelievable. Will anyone really be willing to do this?

Li Mu guessed Li Shimin's doubts and said, "Your Majesty, you still haven't seen the true value of this road."

"Real value?"

Li Mu nodded and continued, "Your Majesty, this road is connected to Chang'an and Luoyang. These two cities were built as capitals when they were built. After several generations of operation, Chang'an has a population of over one million, Luoyang has a smaller population, and hundreds of thousands of people. Nobles, clans, and wealthy families are countless. In contrast, Chang'an is relatively closed, and many things need to be transported through Luoyang to Chang'an. Just like last winter, why can the rice in bad luck? Isn't it because the road is not smooth?"

"For Chang'an, Luoyang is like a transit station. The goods are transited in Luoyang, and then to Chang'an, Shuzhou and other places, which requires a lot of people to support many Luoyang people. For Luoyang, Chang'an is a huge consumer market. Not only is there a large population, dense, noble, and aristocratic family, they have very strong consumption capacity. A few dozen pieces of silk cloth can be sold out in Chang'an City. But in Jiangnan, perhaps this batch of cloth is only worth ten cents, and the profit can reach several times or even ten times!"

"Once the road is completed, the merchants traveling to and from Luoyang and Chang'an will increase. These merchants resell the two places and have money. There is an 800-mile journey between the two places. If one person gallops fast, he can get there a day and a night, but if he carries goods, he must stay overnight. Overnight, it involves staying in a hotel, eating and drinking, and spending money. The money is spilled on this road, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is valuable!"

"People who often do business in both places can understand this principle. They don't need to have an account, and they can calculate what they know a little. Their investment now can be recovered in a few years. The profit is 10% or 20% and they can be done in a transaction. What's more, it's several times? There are only eight sites in total, and the opportunities are limited. It would be strange if they don't rush to grab it."

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "According to your words, this is a sure profit. Then why don't you do it yourself?"

"Your Majesty, of course I want to do it, but I have a problem with this person, and Your Majesty has seen it." Li Mu calmly explained: "I do business and like to eat alone. If I can't eat alone, I would rather not eat. This is why, I must withdraw my shares from the Tang Dynasty's Salt Industry and the Tang Dynasty Mining Industry. I can participate in the construction of the Chidao project, but I can't eat alone. First, there is no such large amount of funds, and then,"

Li Mu paused for a moment, as if he was considering the words. Li Shimin signaled him but it was okay to say it. Li Mu said directly: "Now, there are many people in the court who are jealous and hate me. It is better for me to be by Your Majesty now, but if I have been staying in Luoyang and these villains are clamoring by Your Majesty, it is hard to guarantee that Your Majesty will not suspect me."

After saying that, Li Mu smiled and said, "And I am thinking that I can't make all the money in the world alone. I will be hated by others. If I really do this, wouldn't I have no friends?"

Li Shimin almost laughed out loud and thought to himself, you know you have no friends. Li Shimin also laughed and said, "I guess, there should be a third reason why you didn't do it, in addition to these two."

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin strangely and thought to himself: "There is no third one, where did the third one come from?"

Li Shimin said foryouyou: "You probably didn't like this little money, right?"

Li Mu quickly cried out: "Why do I think so? Your Majesty, this is not a little money!"

"It's not a small amount of money, you won't be interested." Li Shimin waved his hand and interrupted Li Mu's words: "I know you a little bit after spending these days. The business you want to do is fast-acting and high-profit. For example, a business that can buy treasury bonds, build infrastructure, and only a few years can you really get a return."

Li Mu didn't expect that Li Shimin guessed him to his heart. He really thought so, but the reason was somewhat different from Li Shimin's guess. It was not that he didn't want to make this money, but because there were too many options and he had systems in his body, he had almost countless possibilities. If he really had no choice, he would have to eat even if he had a bad look.

But now that Li Shimin thinks so, he is too lazy to argue and does not speak out, which is considered a pity.

After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Li Shimin was relieved. After reminding Li Mu a few words, he took Eunuch Gao back to the palace. Li Mu returned to the yard, and of course the merchants had to ask Li Shimin's attitude. Li Mu skipped the first half and only talked about the second half. Li Shimin said leisurely: "You probably didn't like this little money, right?"

Li Mu quickly cried out: "Why do I think so? Your Majesty, this is not a little money!"

When there is really no way, he has to eat even if he looks ugly.

But now that Li Shimin thinks so, he is too lazy to argue and does not speak out, which is considered a pity.
