I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

"Alas~~" Li Shimin sighed.

Empress Changsun also showed pity on her face.

"Erlang, the fate of these women is miserable enough. They are all my subjects of the Tang Dynasty. We can't let them suffer anymore."

"Well, since Lao Shi is ready to accept it, then you can find a piece of land and I will give it to you as a place for them to live.

If someone is willing to marry these women, they can be exempted from taxes for five years. What does Guanyin Maid think? "

When Li Shimin saw his wife pitying these women, of course he had to express his feelings.

"I thank Your Majesty for His grace on behalf of these poor women." Empress Changsun immediately thanked her.

"Old Shi, you have to handle this matter well and don't let your mother down. These women have a rough fate and cannot suffer anymore."

Li Shimin said to Li Shen.

"It's Aye, I will definitely arrange these women properly." Li Shen also stood up and replied.

The three brothers next to them had different expressions when they saw that Li Shen had taken on another big job. Li Chengqian just smiled and said nothing.

Li Tai's eyes were deep and thoughtful. Li Zhi was a little jealous and envious.

But the three of them really couldn't take on this job. To accommodate thousands of people, just eating, drinking and sleeping would be a huge expense.

It also costs a lot of money to build houses for them and feed them.

If they were men, they could still be allowed to work, but there was really nothing they could do about what women could do.

Only Li Shen had the financial strength to settle these women.

Li Shen looked up at Li Tai and Li Zhi and suddenly said:

"Fourth brother, ninth brother, how about I give up this important responsibility to you? This will save you from always saying that you have nothing to do."

The two of them were stunned after hearing Li Shen's words. Li Shimin also looked at Li Shen with some surprise.

"Haha, Lao Shi, fourth brother can't handle such a big thing. Fourth brother's Palace of Wei cannot afford to support so many people."

Li Tai knew that Li Shen was trying to bully the two of them, but Li Tai was good at cultivating qi now, so he smiled indifferently.

Li Zhi ignored Li Shen and turned his head to one side.

"In this case, don't say that I didn't give you a chance, I just took it." Li Shen chuckled.

"Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal." At this moment, Wang De came up to report.

"Okay, let's go." Li Shimin stood up and took everyone to eat.

At the dinner table, Li Shen talked about the scenery he had seen along the way, as well as the humanities of various places.

Even Li Shimin is yearning for it.

After everyone chatted for a while, Li Tai suddenly said:

"Tenth brother, what are your plans for coming back this time?"

"I don't have any plans. Fourth brother should also know that my younger brother likes to enjoy himself. Now my younger brother's money is enough for me to squander, so there is no big deal."

Li Shen took a bite of the food and replied.

"Now everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that the Qunding Chamber of Commerce is competing with Lao Shi and your First Chamber of Commerce in the Tang Dynasty for members.

Fourth brother will not hide it from you. Fourth brother also joined this chamber of commerce, just because of his face.

Fourth brother is also a member of your No. 1 Chamber of Commerce. Neither party will be offended, and I will not participate in either party.

But you and I are brothers, and Fourth Brother is still on your side. The current situation is very unfavorable for the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty.

The fourth brother has also tried his best, but has been unable to do anything. Old Ten, you are good at this, I don't know how you are going to deal with them. "

What Li Tai said was sincere and sincere, just like the deep love between brothers.

But even Li Shimin and Li Chengqian didn't believe this. They both looked up at Li Shen, wondering whether Li Shen would respond directly or refuse to answer.

Li Shen picked up the glass and drank it down, then looked at Li Tai and smiled. He wondered if Li Tai thought he was a fool.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother, for your concern. Fourth Brother is right. We are brothers. In fact, this is easy to handle. This Chamber of Commerce that aspires to be the leader is just a frog in the well.

It is ridiculous to think that you want to go against us after you have learned a little bit about us.

Fourth brother should know that they are a chamber of commerce established by a dozen companies. If there are more people, there will be more right and wrong.

It may not be reflected at the beginning, but when the money is divided later, uneven distribution of the spoils will definitely occur.

People with the five surnames used to be superior, so they naturally looked down on the Shandong gentry, and they must have hoped that they could take the lead.

When the time comes, they will fall apart and fall apart without us taking any action.

Maybe they will attack each other, and then the younger brother will come to reap the benefits and take over their industry to make a fortune. "

Originally, Li Tai only asked tentatively. He also knew that Li Shen might not necessarily tell him the truth.

But after listening to Li Shen's words, he began to feel that what Li Shen said made sense.

This is indeed one of their shortcomings. People are too talkative, and everyone wants to have the final say and get the maximum benefit.

"Haha, Lao Shi is really powerful. He exposed their weaknesses in one sentence. Lao Shi is prepared to remain unchanged in the face of all changes." Li Tai laughed.

"That's not true. I don't want to wait for them to collapse. It's been too long.

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest, and no matter how strong a city was, it could collapse from within. "Li Shen shook his head slightly.

"You mean you are going to dismantle them from within and bribe them?" Li Tai asked in surprise.

"How can what Fourth Brother said be called bribery? It's called a cooperative relationship. After the matter is completed, they can get huge benefits.

Even if it is to replace the position of the five surnames, it is not impossible.

They just need to provoke each other at the critical moment and make them hate each other and attack each other.

The fourth brother read poetry and books, which was a common strategy during the Three Kingdoms period. "

After Li Shen finished speaking, he started to eat his food. Li Shimin and Li Chengqi looked at each other, wondering whether what Li Shen said was true or false.

Li Tai and Li Zhi were also wondering whether what Li Shen said was true. They told them in their hearts that Li Shen would never tell the truth to them.

But the method Li Shen said is so real and very feasible.

But they were also thinking that since Li Shen was so shrewd, they must have thought that they didn't believe him, so he was probably telling the truth.

When they succeed, they will make fun of them and tell you the method, but you still lose.

This is not impossible.

Li Shen ignored them and just kept eating. What does prediction mean? What does it mean to predict your prediction? What does it mean to predict your prediction?

The four masters at the scene were all thinking about what Li Shen said, while Empress Changsun kept picking up food for Li Shen, and Li Shen ate hard.

After a while, Li Shen had almost eaten all the food on the table. Li Shen felt that it was time for him to grow taller and he should eat more.

Li Shen picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then took a sip of tea and said to Li Tai and Li Zhi:

"Brothers, for the sake of brotherhood, I would like to advise you not to get involved in this matter, so as not to hurt your two brothers."
