Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Since the other party has already spoken out, how can Chu Mo be polite.

He chuckled twice and said to Li Shimin: "Since you said so, let's settle the score."

"When you were in the grain business, I thought you earned 1000 million taels..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Shimin became anxious: "How can there be so many? You are talking nonsense."

Chu Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Li Er, we are negotiating amicably now. If you think I'm talking nonsense, then forget about this negotiation."

"Don't worry, I always persuade people with virtue. If you feel something is inappropriate, you can express your opinion."

"Well, madam, please put that spear to his neck again. I'm worried that this kid will run away halfway."

Hearing Chu Mo say such shameless words in such a high-sounding way, Yang Hongyu blushed slightly, gritted her teeth and turned her face to the side, not answering Chu Mo's words at all.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, was blowing his beard and staring at Chu Mo.

When Chu Mo saw this, he stopped acting like a monster, coughed, and continued: "Old Li, I said, I want to convince people with virtue."

"Well, let's settle this account first."

"The benefits you got from me for the previous batch of grain were several million taels. Add in the ones you secretly sold later, and it's already 800 million taels."

"What's more, because of how much manpower and material resources you have saved because of this batch of grain, if you just calculate it casually, 100 million taels cannot stop it."

"The most important thing is that at a time when you couldn't buy food even if you had money, the money you saved by getting such a large batch of food is more than ten million taels, right?"

Seeing that Chu Moyue's words were getting more and more outrageous and he still had nothing to say, Li Shimin clenched his fist and wanted to punch him, but he was afraid of Yang Hongyu who was beside him, so he immediately let go.

He sighed: "Chu Mo, according to what you said, even if I sell Chang'an City, I won't be able to pay you back."

Chu Mo waved his hand and said, "There's no rush to talk about repaying the money now. Let's figure out how much money you owe me first."

When Li Shimin heard that there were consequences, he immediately glared at Chu Mo, but when he saw the spear swinging in Yang Hongyu's hand, he could only grit his teeth and said, "You continue."

Chu Mo chuckled and said: "You will earn no less than 1000 million taels from the bank affairs later. I am a kind person, so I will round up the whole number and calculate it as 1000 million taels. The rest will be regarded as for you. Hard work pay.”

When Li Shimin heard this, he became anxious again: "Chu Mo, how much money I have distributed to the bank has its own accounts. You can't make nonsense."

Chu Mo nodded: "Okay, let's just talk about it with the accounts."

"You invested 300 million taels in my Datang Bank, and took away more than 600 million taels including the principal and profit. I am a generous person, so I will consider you earning 300 million taels."

Hearing what Chu Mo said, Li Shimin nodded happily and said: "Yes, it's just such a small amount of money, how can you get 1000 million taels?"

"Haha, I haven't finished speaking yet, Lao Li, please don't interrupt."

Chu Mo said dissatisfied.

"Although you only earned 300 million taels in my Datang Bank, your profits from each of the Tianxia Bank and Jiuzhou Bank will never be less than 500 million taels. I only count you as 1000 million taels. You said How kind-hearted I am.”

Hearing Chu Mo's words, Li Shimin jumped angrily.

"Chu Mo, when it comes to being wild and arrogant, I only obey you in the entire Tang Dynasty."

"Jiuzhou Bank and Tianxia Bank have nothing to do with you, and the money I earn has nothing to do with you. If you say that, does that mean that everyone in the world has to give you a share of the money they earn?"

Chu Mo shrugged, nodded noncommittally and said, "If they are willing, I will be happy to accept the money."

"You..." Li Shimin was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Chu Mo chuckled: "Lao Li, don't worry, I'll analyze it with you after listening."

"First of all, did I open the first bank first?"

Li Shimin nodded.

"After I opened the bank, Tianxia Bank and Jiuzhou Bank followed suit. Is this correct?"

Li Shimin nodded again.

"Then you said, they learned my stuff but didn't pay me a single copper in royalties. Do you think that's ridiculous?"

Li Shimin was about to nod, but he thought it was wrong, so he hurriedly asked: "What is a patent? Why do others have to pay you to open a store?"

Chu Mo rolled his eyes. This ancient man's knowledge level was narrow.

Afterwards, he gave Li Shimin some science knowledge on the meaning, functions and advantages of patents.

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked like he suddenly understood and said, "Isn't this just robbing others in the name of fairness?"

Chu Mo chuckled and did not refute Li Shimin's words, but said: "If it weren't for me, the bank would not be born. How could you earn so much money?"

Li Shimin sighed, knowing that he could not defeat Chu Mo, so he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I admit it."

"Haha, just admit it, then let's continue talking about the auction."

At this time, Li Shimin had no intention of defending himself and let Chu Mo speak.

Chu Mo didn't relent and said directly: "I gave you 1000 million taels for the auction. Do you have any objection to this?"

Li Shimin shook his head.

Chu Mo continued: "I have accumulated a total of 3000 million taels before. I know you are a poor man, and I won't let you pay back the money. You don't have so much money to pay back to me."

Although Chu Mo's words were irritating, Li Shimin no longer had the courage to refute and could only continue to nod.

Seeing that the other party had given in, Chu Mo rolled his eyes and said, "I know you have no money, but I also know that you own a lot of land. Since you can't pay back the money, then use the land to pay for it."

Seeing that Chu Mo finally revealed his purpose, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"If you had said you wanted land, I would have given you a fief."

Chu Mo looked at Li Shimin disdainfully and said, "If I had told you earlier, would you have agreed?"
