Seeing Li Shimin's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Princess Gao Yang realized that the words just now were a bit distorted. She couldn't help but shrink her head in fear, rubbing the corner of her clothes with her little hands and wondering how to explain.

Just at this moment, an eunuch spoke outside the pavilion: "Report to Your Majesty, Duke Lu is asking for a visit."

Li Shimin looked at the sky and it should be the hour of You. If nothing happened, Cheng Yaojin would not have asked for a meeting at this time.

When Princess Gaoyang heard Cheng Yaojin asking for a meeting, she felt as if she had been pardoned. She let out Li Shimin's arm and stood up.

Li Shimin did not pursue the matter anymore, but said pity: "You have your eyes cried like peaches. You should step down first. Duke Lu asked for a meeting at this time, so there should be something important to talk about your marriage later."

Princess Gaoyang was eager to do this, so she quickly bowed to Li Shimin and left briskly like a flying swallow.

Cheng Yaojin, led by the eunuch, went down to the pavilion in the Imperial Garden and saw Li Shimin sitting alone beside the desk, leisurely drinking tea.

"Old minister Cheng Yaojin, please see Your Majesty." Cheng Yaojin bowed and bowed.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's unkind look, Li Shimin joked: "You don't have to be too polite, I didn't expect Yaojin to be so polite today."

Cheng Yaojin was embarrassed to say that Li Shimin's teasing, and he had no shame in saying it. Before Li Shimin could speak, he sat next to the desk.

He picked up the teacup and drank a few cups of tea like a ox drink. Then he sighed in a buzzing voice: "The Longjing tea produced by Bo Zhongyi is indeed extraordinary. After a few cups, the heat of a certain body will be much refreshed. When the old minister leaves, His Majesty packs some for someone."

Li Shimin's eyes twitched. This fool was deliberately annoying himself. He didn't even have much, so he gave it to you?

Thinking so beautifully!

Besides, drinking tea like this is like chewing peonies. Maybe I haven’t tasted it. I really feel sorry for my tea, so I have to send this fool away quickly.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin quickly asked, "Now the palace ban is about to be in place. Is there anything wrong with Yao Jin entering the palace at this time?"

Cheng Yaojin then remembered the purpose of this place, pointed to a large box outside the pavilion and said, "After entrusted by Zhongyi Bo, I will give you some things to Your Majesty, and I will invite Zhongyi Bo to a month's vacation."

"What? Ask for leave? What does this kid want to do? He doesn't take me seriously, but he actually wants to bribe me?" Li Shimin stood up and cursed angrily.

Cheng Yaojin didn't care. He smiled and asked, "If Your Majesty doesn't want it, then the old minister has accepted it for Your Majesty, what if?"

Seeing this silly guy who is so envious, Li Shimin would certainly not allow it. He snorted coldly and said, "Is that kid doing something? He just wanted to give up before he came to work?"

Cheng Yaojin did not pretend to behave and replied with a straight face: "According to Bo Zhongyi, the business of the Liuli Store will be on the agenda. He said he had to go back to Yangjiaping to supervise it himself."

During this period, the imperial court did not lack money, and the internal treasury was sufficient, which almost made Li Shimin forget that he still had this business.

So Li Shimin said calmly: "No wonder that boy asked for leave. Is that box also made? How much money does it earn in a month?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "According to Zhongyi Bo's estimates, if the operation is done properly, there should be a profit of one million yuan per month."

Li Shimin looked unbelievable and said in a disgusting voice: "How many are you talking about? One million coins a month?"

Cheng Yaojin said affirmatively: "Yes, this is still a conservative estimate. Of course, according to Zhongyibo, the saturation will decrease in two or three years."

Li Shimin muttered alone as if he was ill: "1 million yuan per month, a year... the court's annual tax is about 13 to 15 million yuan."

Finally, he swallowed his saliva and stared at Cheng Yaojin and asked word by word: "Can you earn 12 million guan a year? Then Isn't it equivalent to having two years of taxes?"

Without waiting for Cheng Yaojin to answer, Li Shimin shouted to the eunuch outside the pavilion: "Get the map for me..."

Soon, a rough map appeared in Li Shimin's hands, and the tea on the table suddenly became no longer fragrant. The eunuch asked the tea set to evacuate it.

Carefully spread the map on the table on the table, like a treasure.

The words "The Great Tang Dynasty Frontier" stand directly above the paper, and the territory of various places is drawn by hand below. In addition to the Great Tang Dynasty, several countries adjacent to the Great Tang Dynasty were also marked.

If Yang Fan was here, he would definitely sneer at this "Border Map of the Tang Dynasty".

Of course, he couldn't understand it either.

Because there is no contour line at all, the proportion is not correct.

Can this be called a map?

Unfortunately, Yang Fan did not have the chance to complain.

Li Shimin's eyes swept across Silla, Baekje, Tufern, and swept across Tuguhun and Tubo, and finally stayed in that vast territory - Goguryeo.

Looking at the huge territory of Goguryeo, a huge sense of pride suddenly rose in Li Shimin's heart.

This is the root of the disaster that ruined the reign of the Sui Dynasty. It is the battlefield where countless athletes in the Central Plains buried their bones, and the holy place that achieved great achievements of emperors throughout the ages.

From ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty it was, they were proud to conquer this land.

As long as he conquered that big territory, Li Shimin was the most powerful emperor since ancient times.

All the negative effects imposed on him will appear insignificant in the face of this extraordinary achievement.

This means that he is the emperor who is more legitimate than Li Jiancheng, and he is the real son of destiny.

If this land that had never been conquered by the Central Plains dynasty could be taken down by him, Li Shimin and included in the Tang Dynasty, his name would be famous for all ages.

Even Emperor Wu of Han could only be behind him.

The Emperor of Eternal Eternal can also look forward to it.

What a temptation this was, it made him unable to affect himself, and his hands shaking the map were trembling slightly.

As long as this innovation is completed, you can imagine how domineering and great achievement it is?

I had no money before, so I could only make him think about it day and night, and I never dared to take action.

Now that he has this opportunity, how could he give up?

Looking at the excited Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin could certainly understand some of the thoughts in Li Shimin's mind.

However, I couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, it seems that you only have 50% of your shares."

Li Shimin glared at this ignorant fool, saying, "Can you let yourself look forward to it first? Even if it is 50%, it will cost six or seven million yuan a year."

Then he turned his eyes and said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile: "Yaojin, you and my brothers live and die together, and have built up a huge country. Now the people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and prosperity, and the country and the country are becoming stable. If the brothers are in trouble, I think Yaojin would not stand by and watch, right?"

Seeing Li Shimin suddenly playing the emotional card, Cheng Yaojin felt alert and said with a careless eyes: "Of course, it's just that the old minister has limited ability. Your Majesty should ask other brothers to help."

He was simply an old fox who was unable to get into the oil and salt. Li Shimin was too lazy to take turns to go around and said straight to the point: "Yaojin, you have taken up 10% of the Liuli business. Anyway, Duke Lu's mansion has no worries about food and clothing, and he can't use much money. How about lent this component to me?"

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was so shameless that he actually robbed him openly. If Li Shimin tactfully proposed it, he would pretend that he couldn't understand it.

Now that Li Shimin is straightforward, Cheng Yaojin had to curse secretly and smiled bitterly: "Originally, Yaojin had to obey, but Old Cheng's family has a large population, and so many people want to eat with their mouths open, it is worse than the old minister who only has one tenth of the shares. What does Your Majesty think?"

He knew that the reason why a man was innocent and had a treasure was guilty. It seemed that too much money would make people jealous.

Although Li Shimin blushed like this, for his own hegemony, he just politely said a few words and accepted it.

But he is not the kind of person who only benefits others, and he has promoted Cheng Chumo one level one.

After Cheng Yaojin thanked his son for his honor, Li Shimin said again: "I agree to that kid's vacation and can delay his reporting for a month. You go and talk to the kid, just say that I borrowed 30% of the profit from him, just treat it as the money needed to 'marry' the princess. That kid knows what to do."

This made Cheng Yaojin stunned. Marry the princess? But he didn't dare to ask again.

Princess Gaoyang had no idea, and she was sold by Li Shimin in a blink of an eye.
