I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Li Mu looked at the 20 sin points in the panel attributes, and felt extremely painful.

Didn't he just kill a few scumbags? Is the dog system so serious?

Fortunately, the income is not bad, and the construction work in Jingnan can be carried out normally, and I believe that there will be initial results in the near future.

Just when Li Mu was happy and stepped up his efforts to build the Great Jiangnan.

the other side.

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.

"I've heard that the wealthy merchants' families in the West City of Chang'an often buy and sell overseas Japanese women as slaves and handmaids?"

What Li Shimin said was a bit imaginative.

Just now we were discussing the matter of doubling the country's grain harvest, how could this involve the sale of Japanese girls as slaves by wealthy merchants?

The executives of the Datang Group were a little confused, and they didn't know how to talk to each other for a while.

I don't know what the emperor's boss means?

As for the matter of the Japanese woman, it was originally written by a time-traveling dog.

At the beginning, Li Mu trained a group of Japanese women to enter the market just out of some revenge.

Follow the routine of Silla maids.

As a result, the popularity was unexpected, far exceeding expectations.

Drawing on the content of the island country action blockbuster in the previous life, these Japanese girls have been trained to look good.

I don't know if it's because the time-traveling dog is good at training, or if there is such an advantage in the genes of these island country women.

Anyway, they have successfully led a new trend.

In the past, everyone only knew Silla maidservants, but now Japanese women have become highly sought after commodities.

"I have heard what your Majesty said." The eldest brother Sun Wuji was the first to take up the topic and test it out.

At this time, Shang Shu You Pu She Du Ruhui, and Zhong Shu Ling Wen Yanbo accompanied the discussion.

Although all those present were the imperial executives and Boss Li's right-hand man, as Li Shimin's eldest brother-in-law, Changsun Wuji was somewhat different from the others.

Therefore, sometimes it would be more appropriate for him to do some tentative moves.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, then continued.

"Unexpectedly, within 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has become a trend of comparison and extravagance. Given time, I can't imagine it. I am very worried, auxiliary machine!"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. Is the emperor's brother-in-law trying to find fault?

You know, this thing was made by your precious son, what do you mean now?

what?Father and son had a fight?

Also, his eldest grandson Wuji also took part in this matter, and he did not miss Li Mu's favor fee.

What's more, his family now has at least [-] or [-] Japanese girls, all of whom were gifted to him by Li Mu.

This will say this, his eldest grandson Wuji really has no right to stand up and express criticism.

But even so, he couldn't help but want to complain in his heart.

Because the emperor's brother-in-law looks so sad, it's really fake, okay?

Why don't you talk about the decoration of your kennel? If you want to talk about comparisons and extravagance, you will be the first to accept criticism from the masses.

Can you say this without blushing at all?

However, from Li Shimin's point of view.

The majestic Tang Empire is in charge, and the father of Tian Khan, recognized by the barbarians everywhere, will advance to the age of one emperor in the future.

Why don't I renovate the house?Just ask what's the matter with you?

An emperor through the ages has to be a bit forceful, do you think the Efang Palace of the first emperor is big and luxurious?

This is the standard configuration of an emperor through the ages, you know?

How many days did the Efang Palace burn, there must be more than ten to twenty days, if the house burns for only a few days in the future, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Therefore, my house must also be the kind that can burn for more than ten or twenty days.

Hey, I have money, so I just want to burn it for fun, why?

Of course, these are Li Shimin's own affairs, and it's hard for others to say anything, but it's a bit embarrassing to mention such a thing suddenly today.

Therefore, the scene became quiet for a while, even to the point of embarrassment.

After all, none of the people present knew how to deal with this problem.

Seeing that everyone was dodging, Li Shimin was a little upset, and his face gradually darkened.

After all, Changsun Wuji knows his emperor's brother-in-law better, and he is afraid that this stingy brother-in-law will start brewing transformation skills again later.

So he stepped up to the rescue.

"Your Majesty, as we all know, the war in the Northeast is rotten. In order to protect itself, Goguryeo oppressed the people of weak countries such as Silla and Dongying. , it is better to sell yourself as a slave to the Celestial Dynasty, which is also a way out."

Although these words are stating the facts, they also contain obvious flattering elements.

At least Li Shimin sounded quite comfortable, and his expression began to soften.

Although he knew it was flattery, it didn't prevent him from feeling sour.

After all, company meetings don’t necessarily have to be so pragmatic in every item, and occasionally they need to bring some corporate culture or something.

For example, brag about how tall the company is, or praise how wise and powerful the chairman of the company is.

This is called corporate culture, and it cannot be confused with flattery or something.

"Well, what the auxiliary machine said makes sense. If such an incident happened in the Celestial Dynasty, how miserable would it be?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he had a compassionate expression on his face, and then continued to say, "So, this kind of stranger trading, even if it is a foreign slave, is a sin!"

Changsun Wuji's mouth twitched, Du Ruhui's brows twitched, and Wen Yanbo's face twitched.

The hearts of the three of them sank at the same time, it seemed that today's episode would be difficult.

After Li Shimin felt sorry for the heaven and earth, he continued, "Since ancient times, the foundation of the founding of the country has been to focus on farming. This is also the state government."

Changsun Wuji, Du and Wen instantly understood what Boss Li was going to say.

"Emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business is the tradition of the Celestial Dynasty, and I cannot tolerate it."

When Li Shimin said this at this time, his face was righteous, and he completely forgot that he was also the one who went into the sea to make money.

After pretending to be aggressive, Li Shimin maintained a majestic and upright appearance, and then secretly looked at the three imperial executives present from the corner of his eye.

It means, it's your turn, so please say something.

The topic of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce can be regarded as a commonplace topic, and it is basically brought up for discussion in every dynasty and generation.

Regardless of whether we have really stepped up efforts to suppress business, at least this attitude has to be shown.

This is something that every emperor should do, and it is also an ideological issue, and people from the Propaganda Department have to shout about it every once in a while.

This is the rule.

The construction of spiritual civilization reacts to the construction of material civilization.

Can understand.

Moreover, when Comrade Li Yuan came to power, didn't he also stipulate that the descendants of merchants were not allowed to serve as soldiers and get paid?

The reason is very simple, that is, you are so rich, you still want to be powerful.

What do you want to do?

With Comrade Li Yuan's first move, it would be much more legitimate for Li Shimin to say this again.

As for why he suddenly remembered this matter, the main reason was that his naughty son was disobedient at the front end.

Ask him to go to Jingnan to work as a spy, but he's actually going against the water and standing on the other side's camp.

Almost pissed him off.

Therefore, he wanted to find an excuse to suppress this kid's arrogance.

In case this kid doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth is thick, he will act recklessly.

Aren't you the reincarnated Guanzi? I directly suppress the quotient and see how you play.

Chapter 253 Datang Customs, have you heard of it?

"Your Majesty, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is fundamental. The capital is thousands of miles away from the northeast, and there are Japanese girls everywhere. Isn't it hard to estimate this place near the rich and prosperous East China Sea? If things go on like this, we will see Japanese girls everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. Not right!"

This was said by Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo.

Old Wen's meaning was very direct and obvious, which was to tell Li Shimin: Boss, you know me. My only shortcoming is that I am loyal, so I am on your side.

After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui twitched their mouths at the same time.

Especially Du Ruhui, who took a deep look at Wen Yanbo.

Damn old Wen, your character design is not so good, is this what a Zhongshu Ling should do?What about your morals?

Wen Yanbo didn't mind Du Ruhui's eyes at all, instead he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Changsun Wuji.

It means that his eldest grandson Wuji can flatter, but I, Wen Yanbo, can't?

Besides, Lao Tzu is not a ruthless person like Wei Zheng who cut his own way.

Behind me, there are a lot of younger brothers who follow me to make a living, okay?

Flattering and expressing one's position or something is still necessary and not ashamed.

Besides, the things you played with Li Mu are not for me, if you don't take me to play with you, why should I help you?

In the end, Director Du really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of causing today's atmosphere of comparison and extravagance. I believe that such bad practices are not the responsibility of the common people. The so-called "acting from top to bottom", I believe that the root cause of this bad practice is the crime of the dignitaries in Beijing. If you want to get rid of the source, you should destroy the source."

After a pause, Du Ruhui continued, "The rich and powerful families in Chang'an privately show off overseas maidservants and drive Turkic untouchables into slavery. This kind of ethos was learned from the powerful and prominent families. Shout out, so what about the act of a maidservant holding flowers and holding incense, isn't it a heinous crime?"

Then, Lao Du suddenly looked calm and serious, stepped forward abruptly, saluted Li Shimin, and said again in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, a businessman speculates and finds himself a noble and wealthy family. I think that this bad trend can be suppressed only by deterring the famous family."

Li Shimin: "..."

Wen Yanbo: "..."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

The three people present were stunned, and it could even be said that they were shocked.

Damn old Du, are you going to die?

Especially Li Shimin, looking at Lao Du with weird eyes, Nimazhen just wants to suppress business and suppress my son, Lao Du, are you so cruel?Are you trying to fight corruption?

There was a gleam in Lao Du's eyes, and he smiled slightly.

Come on, let's all die together!If you have the ability to kill your son together, do you dare to play?

That's probably what it means.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Shimin coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"Keming is right. I will definitely investigate it carefully. If there is such a black sheep among the powerful, I will punish him severely and will not tolerate it!"

Changsun Wuji almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Others may not know, but as an insider, he knows much more inside information than others.

How much money the emperor's brother-in-law collects from Li Mu every year, he can't count it himself.

He is willing to attack this precious son?

Just kidding.

It is estimated that it is just an excuse to extort some benefits, and it is impossible to really do it.

After understanding the psychology of the emperor's brother-in-law, Changsun Wuji hurriedly stood up to make things right.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the reason why wealthy merchants compare themselves to extravagance is because the court has indulged them too much. I have a way to curb this trend."
