The king of a country and the dignified prince are arguing over two or three members of a business. This kind of description makes people feel absurd just by listening to it. Originally, the emperor and the prince, everyone in this world can be short of money, anyone can be poor, but these two people can't.

But then again, these two people are really poor.

Li Shimin will not mention it. There is a severe drought this year, and the country's finances are already tight. Military expenses, water conservancy, and disaster relief. Everything costs money. He even spends a lot of his own money. Now that he has an opportunity to make money , of course he would not let it go. In his opinion, although the money is not much, it may not be enough to fill holes or something, but at least it can improve the living standard of the palace, even if it is just to make a few good clothes for Empress Changsun, that would be great.

Not to mention Li Xin. After being exempted from the rent and tax of the fiefdom, the income of the Wangfu has been reduced by half. He usually spends money and is lavish, and rewards the craftsmen under his hands for hundreds of coins, one or two pennies. Wang Gui has already told him three times with distress. Twice. However, he always admits his mistakes humbly and never repents. He even calls it "science needs investment".

Wang Gui doesn't know what "science" is, he only knows that his prince is a complete prodigal son.

Fortunately, the prince was born handsome, smart, capable, and very benevolent. Alas, if you want to be a prodigal, you can be a prodigal, no one is perfect. Wang Gui could only comfort himself in this way.

All in all, both Li Shimin and Li Xin refused to give an inch to the 20-30% of the shares, which represented at least tens of thousands of dollars. The two debated for more than a quarter of an hour before they finally came to a conclusion out of breath: Li Shimin accounted for 35% of the shares, and Li Xin accounted for 65%.

This result was slightly higher than Li Xin's expected bottom line, but it was still within his acceptable range.

"The titles of the royal family and the Ministry of Industry have been used by you to bluff and deceive, and you only gave me 35% of the shares. It's really unreasonable." Even though he knew that the end had been decided, Li Shimin said with some dissatisfaction.

Li Xin said resolutely: "I have to build factories, import wood, hire workers, and take a lot of extra risks. On the contrary, His Majesty only needs to nod his head, and he can sit and count money in the palace, and it is natural to take less money." And it should."

Li Shimin snorted and didn't say much.

Empress Changsun saw the two men staring at each other childishly, but felt a little emotional in her heart. She hadn't seen Li Shimin so relaxed for a long time. Since he became the emperor, she saw Li Shimin more often who was vacillating between ambition and exhaustion, rather than Li Shimin who completely let go of all guards like before her.

Don't look at Li Shimin and Li Xin quarreling with red faces and tense atmosphere, but in fact, apart from the fact that both of them are a little short of money, the more important factor is Li Shimin and Li Xin. There is unreserved mutual trust between Li Xin.

Do you really think anyone is qualified to quarrel with Li Shimin like Li Xin did just now?

Not to mention anything else, just talking about asking Li Shimin for the royal naming rights is not something ordinary people have the guts to do, let alone arguing with the emperor about who owns a few percent of the shares-just imagine, any other person When encountering such a situation, don't they always say to Li Shimin flatteringly: Your Majesty, how many shares do you think are suitable? Just say it! Any minister can agree. Even Cheng Yaojin, who is not stingy, would not care too much about this kind of matter.

But Li Xin is not. Of course, this is not because he is not afraid of power, but because he knows that Li Shimin will not use power to force him, at most he will just beat him up. If it were the second or third emperors who were more self-willed and decapitated at every turn, he would choose to be wise and protect his life without saying a word, eat and wait for death every day, hold back his strength to give birth to a few more boys, and put his genetic information Pass it on and do nothing other than that.

What revitalizes the Tang Dynasty, what China is the strongest, those are things that only the living have the right to think about. If there is a situation where people will fall to the ground at any time, who would have the heart to do these things?

Li Xin looked at the angry middle-aged man in front of him, and an extremely complicated warmth flowed through his heart. Since his rebirth, he has received too much love and warmth from this man. He knew that this was an elder who was both father and friend who deserved his respect all his life. Not to mention that it was for the sake of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, even if it was just for Li Shimin alone, Li Xin was willing to do his best to help him create the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty he dreamed of, because he was worth it.

Unknowingly, Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and drank it again, and then said to Li Xin very dissatisfied: "The business is over, when are you going to serve the food? You can't let me drink like this? This is your king of Chu. hospitality?"

Li Xin laughed dumbly and said, "Of course not."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhao Ke who had been kneeling in the corner and said, "Let's serve."

"Yes." Zhao Ke replied calmly, slowly exited the room, and went down to make arrangements.
