Chapter 590 The Favorite
In fact, it is no wonder that Li Shimin couldn't understand this. As an emperor, he was very sensitive to rebellion and other things. Now he heard that Li Muyun actually planned to support a rebel, and he was also a female rebel, so it was understandable that he was a little crazy.
Fortunately, Li Muyun was prepared for this matter, smacked his lips and scratched his head and said, "Brother, I'll think about it. Anyway, it's also an internal matter among the Japanese. We don't care whoever fights. As long as we give money, we can sell the weapons. Anyway, we don't lack that little iron, let alone transport some iron ore when they come, and we just work as a laborer."
Li Shimin stared at Li Muyun with deep eyes, not knowing whether he understood the meaning of the words. After a long time, he asked slowly: "So you think of that Japanese woman?"
Li Muyun was depressed when asked, and his eyebrows turned into shame and drooping. He sighed and said, "Brother, I don't really like anyone. I mean, as long as you give money, even if a dog comes to buy a knife, I will sell it!"
Now Li Er completely understood what Li Muyun was saying, and asked in surprise: "Why are you not having any principles?"
"I have principles. I will pay money and deliver goods in one hand. I will not do business with less than 50,000 taels of gold."
As early as when he was a killer, Li Muyun was particularly envious of the big arms dealers. The price of a hundred-dollar gun immediately increased by 20 or 30 times. It was a lot more than the killer he made.
Li Er looked at his brother speechlessly, and really didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only point his nose with his fingers and said hatefully: "I can ignore your messy things, but you have to remember that I want 80% of the money!"
"Trade is done!" Li Muyun snapped his fingers and agreed without hesitation.
50,000 taels of gold, 20% of it is 10,000 taels, which is 100,000 stagnant copper coins, which is not a small amount.
Li Shimin looked at Li Muyun who was a little excited and felt a little wrong. He took the steps that had already taken out and asked, "What are your plans next? Rebuild a steel plant?"
"Hehe..., don't worry so much." Li Muyun smiled proudly, and approached Li Er and said in a low voice: "I plan to buy a batch of weapons from Lord Changsun. It is estimated that 50,000 guan is enough. You don't have to worry about raw materials or transportation. When the Japanese iron ore ores are transported over, they will sell them again. I guess they can get about 10,000 guan."
The profiteer, the absolute profiteer, was walking back to the palace, and Li Er didn't even feel like admiring Jinzi, and kept cursing Li Muyun in his heart.
This bastard doesn't have to do anything, and he will directly earn 60,000 yuan. He will have to keep it a secret for him and join this guy in the process, otherwise 80% of the hush money will be confiscated.
Thinking about the Daming Palace, which is breaking ground, and then thinking about the Tai Chi Palace, which is cold in winter and hot in summer, Li Shimin decided to endure it. After all, he has no grudge against money. Everyone sells those swords and swords. Instead of selling them to the "knights" in China who like to cause trouble, it is better to sell them to Japan, at least across the sea, so that they don't have to worry about them coming to cause trouble.
Of course, there is another thing that needs to be solved at the moment, which is to wipe the butt of that bastard Li Muyun. After all, the Japanese have sued the emperor's daughter for being kidnapped to the Secretariat. If this matter is not settled, someone will be in trouble and will not be able to save 40,000 taels of gold.
So on the morning court on the second day, before the ministers below said anything, Li Er classified the entire incident as a misunderstanding. The so-called kidnapping incident was just a trick created by some villains.
Although the court officials knew that this was not the case, because Li Er personally investigated the case, they naturally did not dare to question such a conclusion.
Besides, those Japanese people had no intention of continuing to sue. They shook their heads like a windmill in the face of the interrogation of the Censor, and they denied the kidnapping, saying that someone came over to make trouble while their princess was out and planned to cheat money. However, now the thief's tricks have been seen through and nothing is wrong.
Even the fool who squatted at the gate of the city beg for food would not believe it. The Japanese people who complained yesterday were definitely not pretending to be sad and angry, and the dozens of carriages that left the city could not be faked.
But even though we know that things are not as simple as Li Er said, what can we do? Even the victims are gone now, and the censors can't find out even if they want to investigate. As for asking that bastard Li Muyun..., let's forget it. With their toes, they all know that that guy will definitely not admit that there is such a thing.
However, it is precisely because of this that the people in the court began to re-examine Li Muyun's position in the emperor's heart.
As ministers, there are many types: loyal ministers, treacherous ministers, wise ministers, and capable ministers. In addition, there are important ministers and favored ministers!
The so-called important officials are ministers like Li Jing. When something big happens, they will always be remembered by the emperor at the first time and then entrusted with important tasks.
But favorite ministers are different. These people basically don’t do anything but can eat whatever they want. But they don’t know what they are favored. They don’t have to do it. If they have any benefits, they will rush up first. If they have trouble, they will run away and they can’t even see the shadow.
Because such people do nothing, they will not make any big mistakes. In addition, sweet words make the emperor happy, and their status is definitely above important officials.
To give the simplest example, those with strong business capabilities in the unit are equivalent to important officials. They do all the hard work and tiring work, but they may not get benefits after finishing it. At the end of the year, they may be punished or something.
But some individuals have poor business abilities, but they have a good reputation. They usually take good care of their leaders. At the end of the year, they will not only have a lot of bonuses at the end of the year, but may even get certificates such as excellent employees.
This example seems very unfair. Not only do people who work are not benefiting, they are criticized, while those who don’t work are praised. This is simply anti-human.
But if you look at it from a different perspective and look at it from the leader's position, your ideas will be completely different.
You are so capable, so hard, what do you want to do? Do you want to sit in my position?
For the sake of one's own status, you must not let such people come up, so you must suppress them and never give these people the opportunity to take office.
As for those who do not work, they will only flatter, these people have no work performance and will not pose a threat to the leadership's status. Secondly, the leaders are better to them, and can be used to attract firepower and share the pressure from the leaders.
