"Li Dongzhu." The two of them walked to the side of a rockery, and the student greeted Li Yi.
Then he looked at Bi Goo. "Student Shen Hao greets the old man."
"This is Minister Bi from the Ministry of Revenue." Li Yi saw Shen Hao introduce himself, so he introduced Bi Goo.
"Greetings, Minister Bi." Shen Hao bowed again, very excited.
"Good, you look like a kind person." Bi Goo praised.
Li Yi nodded to Shen Hao and continued to walk forward with Bi Goo.
Shen Hao stopped reading and found someone to spread the news.
Very soon, all the students here knew that Li Dongzhu was walking around with the new Minister of Revenue.
Next year was stable, so they had to learn quickly and not make any mistakes in the exam. As long as they answered the questions correctly, the rest of the exam would be easy.
Previously, he found the Minister of Personnel, and now the Minister of Revenue.
Could the Minister be found randomly? The Minister of War was the Prime Minister, could he find him?
"Those who didn't come because they felt bitter and tired the year before last, and those who didn't come because they felt a little embarrassed last year, can they still come this year?"
Some of the students were talking about the convenience that the village provided to the students.
"There are enough people, right? Looking at Li Dongzhu, it doesn't look like he wants to continue looking."
"I regretted it the year before last, so I came last winter. What's the big deal about doing some work?"
"That's right. How can it be compared to the Li Family Zhuangzi?"
"We are teaching Zhuangzi's children and working for Zhuangzi in exchange for remuneration. It's not embarrassing."
"Li Dongzhu taught us so many skills. Shouldn't we work as his disciples?"
The students found the situation better. How many officials could meet the Minister of Revenue? Not to mention submitting a letter.
"Xiao Yi, I heard that you brought the students' families here to take care of them so that they can study in peace. It's a great kindness."
Bi Goo saw two more students and praised Li Yi.
"It's not that I'm taking care of you. The students' families are here, and they still have to do their jobs. It's just that it's closer, so you don't have to worry about your family. "
Li Yi did not claim credit for himself. The student's family was very diligent.
"Forty-two the year before last, and two hundred and twenty last year. Are you still recruiting this winter?" Bi Goo asked.
He could imagine that this year, many students would rush to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
"On the first day of August, the construction of the building by the river was completed. The outsiders moved in and registered, so there were still rooms left.
Students could stay if they wanted to, but there was no free food. I arranged work for those who were willing to work and paid the rent.
When their family members come, they also have work to do. They are not allowed to enter the manor to prevent spies from taking the opportunity to sneak in. "
Li Yi pointed to the place where the migrant workers lived. No one was allowed to enter this year.
He wanted to provide low-rent housing, the kind that came with job introductions.
Bi Goo looked over and saw part of the four-story building.
He nodded, "The students who did not come two years ago and did not pass the exam will definitely regret it. However, they can't enter Zhuangzi. I'm afraid they are not willing to come."
"Then they will continue to regret it." Li Yi smiled.
"There are arrangements?" Bi Goo could understand.
"Yes! This year is the last time. After this year, there will be no more opportunities. "Li Yi nodded.
"Why?" Bi Goo was curious.
"Because Her Majesty is rich. She is digging salt wells in Sichuan, so it is not too cold in winter.
Next year, a large amount of money will belong to Her Majesty. Her Majesty should take care of the examinees entering Chang 'an, not me.
There is no more space around Zhuangzi. She should build a large number of four-story buildings in the west or south of the city.
If they are not close to me, will I take the initiative to take care of them? "
Li Yi told him about the salt wells in Sichuan. A large amount of money would be earned next year, and Li Longji would have enough money to use.
Next year, when the promotion of the capital's business tax was completed, Li Longji would not need to spend money for the imperial court.
There was no need to mention how many merchants there were in the capital.
Bi Goo listened to Li Yi and thought of the same thing.
He had a creepy feeling. Li Yi was steadily advancing step by step.
Was it Lu Buwei? No, Lu Buwei's actions were not for the benefit of the people. He was fighting for power among the upper echelons.
Was it Fan Li? No, Fan Li was a powerful merchant and was willing to spend all his wealth. However, after helping Gou Jian defeat the Wu Kingdom, he ran away. Otherwise, he would have been killed.
The young man beside him, Li Yi, was different from them. When it came to tactics, he was always making arrangements.
When it came to making money, Fan Li's speed of making money … Haha!
Thinking of this, Bi Goo asked, "Xiao Yi, if Her Majesty asks you to hand over the workshop and everything, will you do it?"
"Of course I will. I don't want it anymore. If I take it all, what's the use of the workshop? I will change to another place and build another workshop. It will be better than this one. "
Li Yi acted as if he could take whatever he wanted, as if it did not matter.
"What if Her Majesty wants to kill you?" Bi Goo whispered.
"Old Bi, why are you asking this without confidence? You can get the eggs by killing a chicken. What's the use of killing me?
If Her Majesty hears this, she will chop off your head. I will not be able to save you.
If you drink a cup of poisoned wine, you will run to me quickly. I will guarantee your safety. Hahaha. "
Li Yi laughed. Bi Goo was too cowardly.
"Haha." Bi Goo laughed along.
"Let's go, Old Bi. Let's go eat." Li Yi walked around and looked at the height of the sun. He invited Bi Goo to the canteen.
"Yesterday, I ate at Earthly Paradise. Earthly Paradise gave me a membership card."
On the way, Bi Goo mentioned the membership card.
Li Yi nodded. "It's not a bribe. I am the nominal owner. Her Majesty is in charge of it. There are even third-rank officials with real power.
Her Majesty means that you should not delay state affairs for a card. Some money can be taken, some money can't be taken. "
"What kind of money can be taken?" Bi Goo followed the topic and asked.
"People like me can come to me freely. If your family is in trouble and short of money, just tell me and I will take care of it. I don't need to make money through bribery.
If you take things and money from me, Her Majesty will not reprimand you, and the Censorate will not impeach you.
I am willing to pay you a high salary. As long as you think about the people of the Tang dynasty, I am willing to give you money. "
Li Yi's voice was very light, as if he was willing to give money casually.
Bi Shu heard it like a clap of thunder in his ears. He stood still.
When Li Yi found that Bi Goo did not follow, he stopped and turned his head. Bi Goo bowed deeply. "I thank Li Dongzhu on behalf of the people of the world."
Li Yi frowned and returned the salute. "Old Bi, don't be like this."
After returning the salute, he went to take Bi Goo's arm. He could not salute back and forth anymore. It was tiring!
When the two arrived at the entrance of the canteen, Taohong was waiting there. "Dongzhu, Mrs. Li said it was inconvenient for her to meet guests, so she ate in the courtyard."
"Well, sister-in-law is short of money. You must take care of her." Li Yi responded.
Bi Goo breathed a sigh of relief. Great, I don't have to meet Empress Wang. Otherwise, how can I eat this meal?
When they entered the canteen, one room after another. There was a big passage in the middle and a hall. Bi Goo was dazzled.
Especially when Li Yi took him to the buffet area, he could not help but say, "Why are there so few dishes in Heavenly World?"
"Old Bi, don't misunderstand. It's not that we are neglecting the customers. There are new dishes. The farmers will try them first and then give them to Heavenly World."
Li Yi looked as if he was telling the truth.
"I believe you. Xiao Yi, I believe you." Bi Goo looked as if he believed him.
When Bi Goo chose his favorite dishes and sat down with Li Yi in a single room, he looked around. There was only a palace maid and a eunuch.
"Xiao Yi, tell me the truth. Zhuangzi suddenly encountered an attack. How long can you last?" Bi Goo lowered his voice.
"How many people came? If there were ten thousand, I killed them directly. If there were more than twenty thousand, I could slowly kill them. "Li Yi was still so casual.
