Li Shimin leaned forward slightly, his eyes were slightly sharp, and asked: "Your best tea in the world is making money every day and making countless profits. Are you still not satisfied after earning so much money?"
Du Qi said: "Your Highness is wrong. I am very satisfied with the money, but as the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Since I have this ability, I should benefit more people."
Li Shimin said: "This king sees you, you are making countless money, and you are making money continuously. How can you say that you will benefit the people?"
Du Qi said solemnly: "Your Highness, it's actually not difficult to understand. First, when you open a tea shop, you need to hire people to do things. This provides jobs for people to work. If people can work, they can support their families. This is tantamount to saying that I have given people a way to survive, so that the people can have a bite to eat as far as I can."
"Secondly, the boy opens a tea shop, and pays taxes truthfully every month in accordance with the court's laws. The more money the boy earns, the more taxes he pays, and he is making a contribution to the court and to the Great Tang. strength."
Du Qi said solemnly: "Although the boy makes money, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. Although the boy is doing things, although he is making money, he is also contributing his little strength to the eternal stability of the Tang Dynasty. If everyone in the world If you are all like a boy, do your job well, and devote yourself to the imperial court, then the Great Tang Dynasty must be forever."
"Hahaha¡¡"
Li Shimin burst out laughing when he heard it.
Laughter, with praise and appreciation.
This kid Du Qi is really not simple. Although he is young, Du Qi's mouth is extremely powerful. Even Li Shimin had to admire Du Qi's dexterity.
Li Shimin suddenly said: "Since you want to contribute, and you have so much money, why don't you just take out the money, help the people, and donate to more people."
Du Qi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. The boy provides jobs for the people to support themselves. In this way, they can earn money to support their families and have a sufficient heart, so they will not develop inertia. They will not be lazy. If you give them money directly, they will not cherish it. Over time, it will lead to disaster."
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
Although Du Qi is justifying, such remarks are very reasonable.
Du Qi continued: "In fact, this tea shop recruits fewer people. After all, it is not like a restaurant and needs a lot of people. Once the kid opens the restaurant, especially if the kid wants to become bigger and stronger, he must recruit countless people. In this way , For some poor people, this is extremely important, allowing them to not worry about their livelihood."
After a pause, Du Qi continued: "Even, the people recruited in my restaurant can also recruit some soldiers who returned home because of fighting on the battlefield."
"After these soldiers were injured, although they received pensions, it was difficult for them to farm and support their families. The pension money alone is far from enough."
"And the things in the restaurant are nothing more than washing dishes, picking vegetables, delivering vegetables, etc. Although these are complicated, they can still be competent. I can guarantee that these wounded soldiers will also participate, although they cannot Wealthy and rich, but at least they can support their families without being looked down upon."
Du Qi talked about his own arrangements.
After Li Shimin heard it, his breath became short of breath.
The look is even more solemn.
Li Shimin is a king who came out of the battlefield. He knows a lot about the fighting on the battlefield, so he has deep feelings for the soldiers. He can understand the difficulties of the soldiers and sympathize with the pain of the soldiers.
He knew many wounded soldiers. After these people were injured, it was difficult for them to farm when they returned home. It was inevitable that people would stare blankly at them. Even if the imperial court gave them a pension, the amount of compensation was far from enough to keep the soldiers alive.
It would be best if there were soldiers to be placed.
Li Shimin's tone became serious, and he said solemnly: "Du Qi, are you serious?"
"Naturally it is true!"
Du Qi replied solemnly, saying: "The country of the Tang Dynasty was not won by flattery, nor by pies falling from the sky. The country of the Tang Dynasty was won by soldiers fighting with swords and guns. For the battlefield The soldiers on the battlefield, the boy is also respectful. The boy has this ability, so he is naturally willing to help them. Because they are worthy of help. This is a group of the most lovely and respectable people. Without them, Datang would not be what it is today. "
"well said!"
After listening, Li Shimin praised: "You, Du Qi, have this kind of thought. I thank you for the soldiers in the army."
Du Qidao: "Your Highness has broken the evil boy."
Li Shimin asked: "Once your restaurant opens, roughly how many people will you need?"
Du Qi said: "In the early stage of opening, there should be more than a hundred people. But the more people are needed in the future, because there are more people in my heart that need to be operated, so in the future, hundreds, thousands, and even more people will be needed. More veterans."
After hearing this, Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said, "Prepare your pen and ink!"
"Okay!"
After Du Qi heard it, he became happy.
He quickly stepped forward to Li Shimin, rubbed the ink for Li Shimin quickly, and spread out a large piece of paper.
At this moment, Li Shimin's mood was quite agitated. He picked up his pen and wrote down the five words of heroism and grandeur - the best dish in the world! The five words jumped out of the paper, and their strength penetrated the back of the paper, even more vigorous and powerful.
Li Shimin's handwriting is also excellent.
He is especially good at flying white bodies.
Du Qi admired Li Shimin's handwriting, and praised: "Your Highness's Feibai style is really exquisite. It needs muscles and bones, pen sharpness, and structure. It can be called everyone's demeanor."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "You boy, you are used to flattering. Put this word away, and then, since you are in charge of the evening banquet, then you can start preparing. If you don't prepare any more, it will be too late."
It takes a certain amount of time to prepare dishes for a banquet of fifty or sixty people.
Du Qi happily put away the words, and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise to arrange it well. I guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the banquet tonight, just wait and see."
Li Shimin said: "I will wait and see."
Du Qi bowed and saluted, then turned and retreated.
Li Shimin looked at Du Qi's leaving back, but frowned slightly. Because in the conversation with Du Qi, he saw that Du Qi was extraordinary. He was young and had a deep gap in his chest. But the problem is that Du Qi's actions are a little ambitious, and he doesn't seem to have much interest in officialdom, which makes Li Shimin feel a little sorry.
It's a pity that Du Qi is not in the officialdom.
Seeing that Du Qi was about to leave the room, Li Shimin suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
Du Qi turned around and said, "What else can your Highness order?"
Li Shimin beckoned, and Du Qi immediately stepped forward and stood bowed. However, Li Shimin beckoned. Du Qi understood and walked to Li Shimin's desk to stand.
Li Shimin took out a token made of brass from the box on the desk. This side of the token is engraved with the word Qin. Li Shimin threw the token in front of Du Qi, and said: "Take it away, when you come to the palace in the future, just come directly, you don't need to ask someone to notify you every time."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Du Qi looked at this token, and his heart trembled.
He did not expect that this time, he would get a token from Li Shimin, which was tantamount to allowing him to enter and leave Qin Palace at will. After thinking about it, Du Qi understood the reason. He knew it was a reward for the placement of veterans. If it weren't for this, Li Shimin wouldn't have rewarded him with a token to enter and exit.
Li Shimin said: "Do things well, don't let me down."
"I will live up to His Highness' high expectations."
Du Qi also put his hands together, bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, then turned and left. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
