Donate again? And it’s all the dresses of the whole army?

Looking at Li Yuanchang, Li Shimin was speechless. He could think of such a bad idea? Didn’t he think about what consequences would it have if the court was really as he said, forcing Liu Yi to donate a cotton set worth more than one million or more for military needs to be used as he did?

The donation of two million stags of money and 300,000 stags of rice and grain has already brought the reputation of Liu's family to an unprecedented height, and Liu Yiu has thus become the example and banner of most wealthy businessmen in the Tang Dynasty.

With Liu Yi-Yi, in just half a month, in addition to the officials in the court, the Ministry of Revenue had raised more than 3 million tanks of money and more than 500,000 dan of grain from merchants or civilians in various places, which really made Li Shimin relieved and had the confidence to attack Gaochang and this snow disaster relief.

It can be said without politely that if Liu Yi had not proposed the concept of this kind of donation and donated a huge sum of 2 million yuan in a large amount of money, as well as the later promotion and cooperation, it would have been impossible for the court to obtain such a rich supply in just half a month.

If it weren't for these foreign aids, the court would have wanted to attack Gaochang, not to mention that the snow disaster in front of him would have made Li Shimin worry for a while.

Therefore, Li Shimin always felt a little grateful to Liu Yi and the Liu family chamber of commerce. If possible, Li Shimin also hoped that Liu could always maintain the status quo of business leaders and guide the Tang Dynasty economy toward prosperity and strength.

There are many things that Li Shimin did not see with his own eyes, but he often heard from the Grand Secretary Su Bingren and the Minister of Revenue Di Zhixun that in the past two years, due to the rise of Liu Yiu and the development of the Liu Chamber of Commerce, agriculture and commerce in the Tang Dynasty had undergone significant changes.

I won’t mention the commercial exchange of trade, accelerated trade and huge taxes paid to the court, but the changes in the Tang Dynasty brought about by Liu Yiu have already made Li Shimin very happy.

The invention and application of agricultural equipment such as curved plows, water wells, water trucks, fertilizers, shovels, etc., as well as the special farming model of the Sanyuan Liu family have greatly accelerated the farming of agricultural agriculture and improved farmers' ability to prevent and prevent natural disasters when resisting natural disasters. Drought and flood guarantee harvest. After the test and application of natural disasters in the past two years, it is no longer a beautiful legend.

The reason why I failed to achieve a good harvest in the past two years was not only because of the natural disasters, but more importantly, the instruments made by Liu Yiu did not have time to promote and apply them throughout the country, and only protected the crop harvests of most farmers near Chang'an and Sanyuan.

If the farming model and application equipment of the Liu Family Manor could be promoted throughout the country, Li Shimin had no doubt that in the next two years, the agricultural production of the Tang Dynasty would reach an unprecedented peak.

Agriculture is the foundation of a country. Affordable agriculture means a strong country. For a country with a population of more than tens of millions, having enough food is equivalent to having everything.

What's more, in addition to grain, after the temptation and stimulation of "Sanyuan Tea" and "White Mix" cotton clothes in the past two years, more and more farmers have begun to try to plant economic crops such as tea trees and White Mix, which has greatly changed the extremely monotonous planting structure before the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty's agriculture has also begun to develop towards diversification.

Therefore, in Li Shimin's eyes, in addition to being a miracle doctor and a rich rich man, Liu Yiu is also a rare treasure, a treasure that can change the current situation of the Tang Dynasty and benefit the people of the world.

But now, someone came to him and suggested that he wanted his emperor to force Liu Yi and the Liu Chamber of Commerce to be more ruthless. After Liu donated a huge sum of 2 million guan, he wanted to donate another 2 million guan.

Yes, it is easy to make Liu Yi surrender. As long as there is an imperial edict or an oral edict, Liu Yi will be angry and will donate the things obediently. But what afterwards? Apart from these materials, what else can the court get?

Liu Yiu’s resentment, the despise of wealthy businessmen in the world, and the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the ministers.

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking about," Li Shimin was very confused, so he didn't give Li Yuanchang any good expression. After listening to Lao Qi's proposal, Jingxin looked cold and said in a verbal voice: "I have already seen the things you and the eldest son did in the Ministry of Works. I use inferior products as good things and use public funds to private pockets. Do you think no one can see them?"

"Now, there are legitimate merchants who have replaced them with cotton clothes with a hundred times more than the original one. It would be fine if you don't want to take the opportunity to withdraw from repentance, but you dare to take personal revenge again?"

"Get out of here!" He kicked Li Yuanchang in the ass, and Li Shimin warned angrily: "Don't let me see or hear any unfavorable actions between you and Liu or Liu, otherwise, the national law will not be allowed!"

In this way, Li Yuanchang was very embarrassed and frightened and was scolded by Li Shimin from the palace. Although he was even more angry with Liu Yi, he could no longer raise the courage to go to find trouble for Liu.

"I knew that this would be the result," At the same time, when Li Qing reported on the matter, Li Chengqian lay on the couch and sighed softly: "Liu Yi has used his financial advantages to set up a defense line for himself and their Liu family commerce that no one can overcome. If you want to cause trouble for them, at least at the moment, it is no longer possible."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was completely dead and went to find Liu with a bad intention. At least before he returned from Gaochang, or even before he replaced his father and became the new generation of monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, he had no chance.

He may not care about his personal reputation, nor may he may not care about the thoughts of court officials, and even the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty. However, before successfully ascending the throne, Li Chengqian had to pay attention to and cater to Li Shimin's feelings and opinions.

So, before achieving this goal, let go of your hatred against Liu Yi for the time being.

Li Chengqian comforted himself in his heart, as the queen said, since Liu Yi did not have the intention of surrendering to the third brother and had several other emperor brothers, and it would not be possible to pose any major threat to him in a short period of time, so let it go for the time being. As the prince, his eyes should be farther away and he should not be blinded by the little hatred in front of him.

"Your Highness," Li Chengqian said that he had decided to give up his thoughts of dealing with Liu Yi, Li Qing carefully reminded him: "The Liu Yi is very close to Li Zhen and Gongsun Helan. These two people, one is Li Ji's eldest son, and the other is the favorite general he values ​​most now. I am worried that Li Ji is already in Liu Yi..."

"Are you worried that Gu and Li Ji would be restricted or murdered by Li Ji when they went to Gaochang together?" Turning his head to look at Li Qing, Li Chengqian shook his head slightly indifferently, and said, "Li Ji is not so brave, and Gu doesn't think that Liu Yi has such great charm. He can invite Li Ji to deal with the Gu Wang."

"But everything is in case, if..." Li Qing was a little reluctant to speak. While worried about the safety of their prince, he was also worried about his own situation and future.

Li Chengqian accompanied the army to Gaochang. As the chief eunuch whom Li Chengqian believed most, Li Qing would probably have to take care of him. If Li Ji had a little ill intention in the army, how could they have any better end up?

"Nothing is wrong!" Li Chengqian waved his hand and interrupted Li Qing's words, "As the commander of the emperor, Li Ji will be the one who is most worried about the safety of the Lone King. As long as Li Ji does not have any other intentions, such as Li Zhen, Gongsun Helan, and others, they are not afraid of the jumping clowns."

Li Chengqian had never been worried about his personal safety as the prince of the Eastern Palace and the military supervisor. To put it bluntly, it was a position that was rewarded for nothing. As the commander of the first army, Li Ji might be dissatisfied, but he would only put himself in the safest position in the entire army.

Li Chengqian knew that Li Ji could not afford to be injured as his supervisor's safety.

In Sanyuan County, because of an order sent by Li Zhen and Gongsun Helan, the Liu family launched a very lively and large-scale recruitment activity across Sanyuan County.

After all, the production capacity of more than 200,000 in half a month has far exceeded the output limit of the hundreds of people in the cotton shop. In order to complete the predetermined task within the specified time, the only thing Liu Yiu can do is to expand the production scale and recruit idle workers.

Fortunately, it is the harsh winter now and it is snowing. Whether in the county or the countryside, all the villagers are in a idle state of nothing to do. They want to go out to do odd jobs and earn some money to make money to prepare for the New Year, so it is much easier to recruit workers than usual.

"Young Master," Liu Cheng followed Liu Yi's side and looked at the many workers who came to apply for the job and said softly: "Isn't the salary for each five-cent piece on this contract too much?"

"Young Master, please do it," Liu Cheng calculated little by little with his fingers: "A peasant woman can make at least twenty or even thirty pieces a day. At five cents per piece, twenty pieces will be one hundred cents, and thirty pieces will be one hundred cents, and thirty pieces will be one hundred cents, and one hundred fifty cents. Young Master, she is almost as good as the previous month's money."

One hundred and five days a day, wouldn’t everyone get at least two cents of silver in that half a month? This is a bit profitable. Liu Cheng felt extremely unbalanced and felt very distressed. Each person had two cents of silver, one hundred cents of silver, one hundred cents of silver, one thousand cents of silver, one thousand cents of silver, two thousand cents of silver, two thousand cents of silver, then how many pieces of cotton coats have to be sold to earn back?

Moreover, it seems that this way of paying for piecework has never been mentioned before. Liu Cheng really couldn't see that this kind of sucker-style billing method was so favored by their young master?

Feeling that Liu Chengxi's problem began to rise again, Liu Yi looked back with some amusement and asked, "What should you do according to your opinion?"

"Reply to the young master," he had been thinking about this question for a long time, so when he heard their young master ask, Liu Cheng replied directly: "Each person is fifty, no no, no, forty cents a day, and then take twenty pieces a day as the bottom line. Yes, twenty pieces a day, forty cents a day, there are already a lot of them. I think there will definitely be many people rushing to come."

"Forty-moneys a day? Twenty pieces?" Without refuting Liu Cheng's opinion, Liu Yi asked in turn: "If this is the case, in half a month, a thousand people may not be enough to make 270,000 sets of clothes, right?"

One set is divided into four pieces, 270,000 sets are 1.08 million small pieces, 1,000 people, plus the original 500 people in the cotton shop. If it is calculated based on twenty pieces per person, half a month will probably not be enough to make it?

"One thousand people are not enough, so let's get more," Liu Cheng continued to count with his fingers: "Anyway, it's only 40 cents of wages. Even if it's 2,000 people, one person will have 40 cents a day, and two thousand people will have 80 cents, half a month, half a month, that's it, huh?"

What's going on? The final calculation made Liu Cheng feel a little difficult to accept. Why doesn't it seem that there is not much less? If we count the total amount of food and drink for two thousand people, after careful calculation, wouldn't it be much higher than when paying for piecework?

"Doesn't it feel like the cost is much higher than the piece counting?" Seeing Liu Cheng stopping his words, his brows tightened, Liu Yi chuckled without surprise and asked him.

"It's forty-money times, but," he finally remembered that something seemed to be missing. Liu Cheng looked up at their boss and said, "If two thousand people may not be able to do it, can the one thousand people recruited by the young master complete it on time?"

If it is calculated by 20 items per person, 2,500 people are still a bit reluctant. Can the one thousand people recruited by the young master be used? Liu Cheng expressed doubts about this.

"You have already mentioned this question," Liu Yiuan smiled and said with a faint smile: "Under normal circumstances, twenty or even thirty pieces can be made every day."

"Think about it," said Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Liu Cheng, saying, "If you are one of them, as long as you think about making one more, you can get five more cents. If you do more, you can get fifty more cents. If that's the case, will you do your best every day, work hard to make more and get more money?"

"Yeah!" Liu Cheng nodded his head fiercely. At this moment, he finally understood why their young master implemented this billing method.

In order to get more money, those workers have to work hard to make it? Originally, they could only make twenty a day, but it is very likely that they could do thirty or even more at once. Liu Cheng did not doubt this possibility at all, because if it were him, he would have worked so hard.
