But when Li Shimin spoke, Li Chengqian dared not refuse.

He originally hoped that Chen Zhengtai would help him make some mistakes, but Chen Zhengtai did not say anything at this time, so he had to give the eunuchs obediently.

Soon, the eunuch came with a stack of books of books.

Li Shimin seemed very interested. He asked someone to put the account book on the desk and then knelt down. Although Li Shimin knew nothing about business, his ability to read accounts was amazing. He skipped the dense accounts and looked for the data he wanted to find.

After a long time of burying his head, he raised his head: "The profit last month was 230,000 yuan?"

Li Chengqian's face suddenly collapsed, thinking that his father would not understand so many accounts.

Li Shimin then snorted coldly: "It seems that you didn't tell the truth in front of me. Didn't you say that you only made a profit of 100,000 yuan in one month?"

"This...this...this account is not settled in this way." Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "This is just gross profit..."

"Come on," Li Shimin said: "You think I can't understand it, this is pure profit!"

Li Chengqian finally became honest: "Father, you can't just look at the money you make, but also the expenses you need to invest a lot of money next time, for example... For future expansion, eleven newsstands will need to be built next month. In addition, there are some manure-sweeping trucks. In addition, it is clothing. The impact of this clothing is advertising revenue, so the son-in-law is thinking that they can't wear green clothes. Everyone has to be eye-catching when walking on the street to attract people. Therefore, they have entrusted the textile workshop to cut a brand new new clothes. Walking on the street, you can see at a glance. Only in this way can the merchants post and sew advertising marks before they can give money."

"Oh, there is also this bicycle. Erchen has placed an order of 10,000. In the future... it needs to be customized. In the future, it will involve repairs and parts replacement. In addition... it is necessary to set up a new postbox. Which of these... does not cost money? Next year, if the railway can be built, Erchen will even need to send people to Shuofang and Xining to develop business. Yes, there are Luoyang and Yangzhou, which are also two big cities..."

Li Chengqian seemed to feel that it was not enough: "Now is the time when this transaction needs to be expanded. If you don't cover this station in every corner, you can open up new markets, and all of these... are money."

Li Shimin said: "This is different from deceiving the king and the emperor. I have to punish you."

Li Chengqian: “…”

Chen Zhengtai stood aside and couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and couldn't help coughing: "Your Majesty, I think... Your Highness is understandable to do this. After all... I have searched too much a few days ago. On the one hand, Your Majesty hopes that Your Highness can suffer the hardship of the people, but isn't what Your Highness is doing now? If there are so many beggars and refugees in the world, if they don't settle them, they will become the source of disaster for my Tang Dynasty. Your Highness summons them to give them clothes and food, and give them a meager salary to receive. Isn't this a great virtue? If Your Majesty wants Your Highness to be alone, he must let him be a master of himself. Otherwise, Your Highness will have a passionate heart and will be extinguished."

Li Shimin glared at Chen Zhengtai: "Are you teaching me to do things?"

"Ha." Chen Zhengtai immediately showed that people and animals were harmless: "It's nothing. If you think about it carefully, Your Majesty is right. Even if your prince has a thousand dissatisfaction, it is a serious crime to deceive the emperor. The so-called state has national laws and family rules, which is the law of heaven. If you do not punish it, today's minor mistakes will be a big mistake tomorrow. You must not let your prince continue to fall in thought. You must punish him seriously to teach you a lesson. I think you must at least punish him 500,000 yuan, or one million yuan will be enough."

Li Chengqian was so grateful that he turned around and saw that Chen Zhengtai sold him without hesitation. He felt like a roller coaster, and suddenly reached the clouds and fell into hell again.

Li Shimin immediately said, "Forget it, let's forget it this time."

It seemed... Chen Zhengtai's words still had some effect. Li Shimin said: "No next time." He lowered his head and looked at the account, which was shocking and terrible. These scattered so-called businesses actually had such huge profits.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't know that these businesses were almost the prototype of many businesses in later generations. If these businesses were placed in later generations, it would be enough to give birth to several giants.

It is still the beginning stage and the business has not yet been truly expanded. If it expands with railways and other conveniences in the future, and with the continuous flow of people leaving farming and entering workshops, with the development of industry and commerce, these businesses will rise.

Li Shimin was much more satisfied at this time: "I had seen your business many years ago, but I didn't pay too much attention at that time, but I never expected that you had done things quietly over the years. This shows that children can teach you. I was just thinking in my heart that I saw that you were not in the soul every day, but I didn't know if you were idle in the Eastern Palace all day long. I never thought that you were willing to do something. No matter how big or small, the important thing was whether you were willing to calm down. Today, the prince made me look at you with admiration and I felt very comforted."

Li Shimin praised Li Chengqian for a rare purpose.

In Li Shimin's opinion, this is indeed a rare thing. Compared with Li Chengqian, Li You is really in the sky and in the ground.

Li Chengqian received a praise for no reason.

Li Shimin then looked at the men in panic who were frightened and said with interest: "Are you doing things for the prince on weekdays?"

A man in blue said tremblingly: "Yes."

"May I have your name?"

"Caomin...Caomin Wang Four."

"Wang Si..." Li Shimin laughed. This name was indecent, but the people were named casually. After all, most people could not even write their own names.

Li Shimin suddenly remembered something: "Wang Si, are you literate?"

"Caomin used to farm, but later his family was hit by disaster and came to Chang'an. Because he had no skills, he was wandering on the streets. His Royal Highness took Caomin in. Caomin didn't recognize anything before, but... he could barely recognize a few, but not many."

Judging from Wang Si's behavior, he actually responded well, but it can be seen that this guy has slowly seen some worlds.

Thinking about a refugee who is about to starve to death, Li Shimin felt quite comforted.

He suddenly frowned and said sternly: "You said just now that the prince is even more kinky than your biological mother. Are you saying this?"

"Your Majesty clearly understands, what is this heartfelt words?" Wang Si's face changed in fear: "My mother remarried early because her family was about to starve to death. His Royal Highness lived my life, of course she was even more close than my mother."

Li Shimin: “…”

Suddenly, Li Shimin suddenly discovered that these people... may not be despicable villains.

Most of these people wearing blue clothes are just people who have lost their territory or have lost their livelihood.

So Li Shimin's face suddenly eased: "So that's it, why are your hands hiding in your sleeve?"

It turned out that Wang Si's sleeve was empty.

Wang Si hurriedly said, "When he fled, he encountered a bandit, and he cut one arm and survived by chance."

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel sympathy, and he seemed to understand something at once.

Wang Si said with red eyes: "It was because he lost an arm and was a useless man. No one hired me at all. So when he arrived in Chang'an, he could only beg for a living. After having a meal, he was hungry and froze all day long. Later, His Royal Highness recruited me and asked me to set up a stall on the side of the road. I only had one hand, but it was enough to take care of a stall. He was responsible for contacting the station. Later, the stall became a newsstand. While selling newspapers, he collected letters from passers-by along the street and some messages of running errands. Later, because he did a good job, he brought me to the position of Thirteen, who was responsible for the business of the newsstand."

It turns out that it is still... the head of the family.

Li Shimin was speechless for a moment.

Wang Si said, "I am a useless waste. I thought I would starve to death on the street sooner or later. If the Prince hadn't seen me pitifully accepting me, so that I could make a living, and then become familiar with the business and promoted me to the position of the head of the family, I was in my heart... I don't know how grateful I am to Your Highness, I came to Chang'an, married a wife, and bought a house. Although the house was small, it also had a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Not only that, I have barely read some books, read some words, and learned some calculations... The Prince's Highness has the grace of living for me, and even if I teach me to die now, I will not frown."

What he said was simple.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly felt that the stingy and flattering just now was actually not as exaggerated as he imagined.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say, "In this way, many people are like you, suffering from disabilities?"

"There are many." Wang Si said: "If it weren't for this, why did it fall to this point? There were also many young and strong people. They were all responsible for running errands. Anyway, those who lacked arms and legs were responsible for reading the newsstands, those who were strong were responsible for running errands, those who were smart would teach them to simply read, and then they were asked to sort letters and lunch boxes. After sorting, they were also responsible for marking. After all, most people were not literate, so there were rules. For example, the address was Ping'anfang, so they would make a mark of Ping'anfang, and on Sanbu Street, so they would make a mark of the number afterwards. In this way, these errand runners did not need to read, but just remember that there were marks of workshops in each street and every place, and they could deliver the things."

"So much, remember?" Li Shimin didn't expect that the other party would have such a local method.

Wang Si said seriously: "In fact, it is very simple. Because there are special people in each area, who collect information and mark the marks, and then send them to the staff of each yard. For example, if you collect things from Ping'anfang and send them together, you will have special personnel from Ping'anfang to run errands when you arrive. These Ping'anfang people only need to remember the marks of each street of Ping'anfang. Everyone remembers their own marks, so they are not afraid of chaos. Moreover, if you go to various areas a few more times, you will become familiar with them. If the elderly take the new one for a few days, they will be competent."

After hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly realized.

He never expected that these people had used so many local methods.

And it is obvious that the more this method is, it is the most effective.

"How much money did you have in January when you were at the newsstand?"

"Not many, only one person." Wang Si said honestly: "However, Your Highness has purchased many houses with letters in the neighborhoods. These houses are for office work and for beggars and refugees who have no place to live. As long as you enter our business, you can go there at night and eat... and eat according to the number of people. So... there is no expense on weekdays, and there is also a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so you can eat a full meal."

When Li Shimin heard this, he had no words anymore.

He suddenly felt that his problem was ridiculous.

This guy Li Chengqian can drive more than 30,000 people to work hard for him, so that these people can be orderly and perform their duties. Of course, it is impossible for these people to sleep in the open. After all... the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and who is the prince?

"Understood."

Li Shimin nodded, feeling quite pleased at this time. He was able to organize 30,000 people and make these people devote themselves to their hearts. Such people... are actually very capable. He can be used to be a general and lead 50,000 or 60,000 troops. Even if he is in charge of a state or a place, he will definitely be competent.

Li Shimin knows this more clearly than anyone else.

Just like him, he was able to lead troops and win every battle. He changed careers and became the emperor, and he was as ease as a fish in water.

Because what you do may be different, but the methods of doing things can actually be integrated. People who can do one thing well generally do not do too badly in another field.

Li Shimin sighed: "I have always taught the princes a lesson so that they will not forget the people, but now I think about it, but the prince really listened to it."

Li Chengqian heard that Li Shimin did not fine and praised him with a rare sigh of relief. He hurriedly said, "Father, the sons' ministers' actions are just small matters."

"It's not a small matter." Li Shimin said with a stern face and very serious: "Handle refugees, give them clothes and food, so that they can support themselves and create surpluses. This is not a small matter, this is a serious matter. Why are you humble?"

"Ah..." Li Chengqian thought to himself that even humbleness would be scolded. In this world, only the prince is the most difficult to do.

Li Chengqian thought about it and said obediently: "Actually... many things here are taught by my senior brother...especially a lot of business. Erchen could not have thought about it, and Erchen could not have made such a profit. Originally... it was just a play, but who would have thought that later, the more you played, the bigger you played."

Li Shimin listened and couldn't help but laugh: "Chen Zhengtai's biggest ability is that he has many ghost ideas. But you also have your ability, you can calm down and do things well. In fact, things in this world are easy to say, but difficult to do. Of course... If someone advises you, things can be twice the result with half the effort. You two can complement each other, which makes me feel relieved."

Li Shimin was in a good mood and his eyes fell on the bicycle again: "This thing is quite interesting. Can I ride it?"

Chen Zhengtai was just about to say, Your Majesty... This thing was not easy to ride at the beginning.

But before he could say anything, Li Chengqian gave him a wink, but heard Li Chengqian say, "Father, I'll be able to ride it for a while, why don't you... come and try it."

Li Shimin was very excited. He remembered Li Chengqian's riding method in his mind, so he nodded and went to grab the dragon head.

Several people in blue had their faces green, and they all lowered their heads and said nothing.

Following Li Chengqian's method, Li Shimin stepped on the pedal, and later generations shouted, turned over, held the dragon head tightly with both hands, and the dragon head turned around, and it actually... balanced.

Then Li Shimin continued to step on the pedal, and the bicycle started to rotate in the hall under his riding.

When Li Chengqian saw this, he was shocked.

He originally wanted to do a prank, but when he first learned it, he suffered a lot and fell several times. Later, he asked the eunuch to grab the rear axle of the bicycle and learn slowly to ensure that he would not fall.

I thought that the emperor's horse would fall in a mess, but I could take advantage of the situation to step forward and support my father, which not only showed my filial piety, but also wanted to see him in a mess.

But where do you know?

Li Shimin learned it and was as steady as a rock on the bicycle. He was walking on the pedal while walking around, and he looked very happy and enjoyable. He said on the car: "This car is interesting. It has two wheels and people can be steady and steady. It can be so fast without much effort... Chengqian, look at my riding method, what's wrong?"

Li Chengqian was speechless. After a long time, he admired him: "Father is really wise and powerful."

Chen Zhengtai was also stunned by the sight. He understood more and more that in this world, it was too much pressure to deal with these extremely smart people or were born with the courage of thousands of people. These perverts can play with everything.

Li Shimin rode many times, sweating all over, and stopped the car with his feet on the ground, and then said, "It's just that I'm wearing this dress and pedaling it. Next time I change to wear horse clothes and breeches. This car is very good, just like the steam locomotive, and it's very interesting and useful. Zhengtai, in a few days, I'll send me a few cars to the palace, so I can relieve my boredom."

"Ah..." Chen Zhengtai came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I need to customize a few high-quality bicycles and deliver them in a few days. It's good if your Majesty likes..."

Li Shimin got off the car and was sweating all over: "Can this letter be sent? I still don't understand how to mail the letter. Otherwise, I will try it, open it, and take my pen and ink. I want to write a letter, whom to... Maybe... just give it to Changsun Qing's family."

He asked someone to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, carefully compiled a letter, and then said, "What should we do next?"

"You need to paste stamps." Li Chengqian ordered, and someone hurriedly took the stamps, and Li Shimin posted them according to the method.

He wanted to know how this thing works.
