I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

But Yin Xuan's reaction and his rhetoric caught Li Shimin off guard.

"About the bank?" Yin Xuan was lazily lying on the rattan chair, tumbling down beside the table, trying to catch up on sleep, "Don't come looking for me, Wu Jue is in charge now."

Wu Jue?

That girl who is widely rumored in the household department to be extremely sharp-tongued?
Li Shimin felt that he seemed to be concentrating. He shot with the gun, and the gun hit the target. When he was looking at his shooting results with satisfaction, the guard on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, your target is Here is this."

He fell silent.

Yin Xuan waved his hand, dispatched Xue Rengui with ease, and drove him to Fengchao to call Wu Jue.

Soon.

Wu Jue came over, she sat down beside Yin Xuan with a serious expression, and looked at Li Shimin.

Unlike Yin Xuan, Li Shimin was not so casual. He cupped his hands and told his own background, making it quite plausible, saying that he was Yuanwailang from the household department.

Yin Xuan couldn't hold it back, and he didn't want to hold back his laughter, so he let out a puffing sound.

Li Shimin glared back at him.

My son-in-law's bad taste is really... too painful.

Yin Xuan's fun is more than that, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, at this moment they are sitting at the table like lambs.

Then...they will show their fangs, maybe because of a simple document, they will be slaughtered to the point of death.

Of course, Wu Jue is unlikely to be emperor.

But... From a certain level, she might become the biggest capitalist active in the Tang Dynasty.

After listening to Li Shimin explain his origin.

Wu Jue raised his eyebrows, and directly refused: "Impossible, the loan matter can't be so casual, usually the loan has to be considered comprehensively."

"So many come here all of a sudden, not only in Chang'an and Luoyang, but even as far away as Juzhou."

"In case of bad accounts, what should be done with these accounts?"

Li Shimin's face remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly: "This is for the sake of future generations of the Tang Dynasty."

Wu Jue said earnestly: "I can understand the court's good intentions, but... no matter how rich Da Lang is, he can't be expected to pluck the wool by himself."

"Don't you know how much Fengchao has invested in the economic development of Yizhou, Guangfu and other places? These things have not been recouped until now."

There was no embarrassment on Li Shimin's face, he continued to ask: "What does Mrs. Wu think?"

Wu Jue ordered the table and glanced at Yin Xuan.

Yin Xuan played with Gun Gun and didn't intend to express any opinions.

Wu Jue understood, this is to allow herself to develop freely, and when she opened her mouth, Li Shimin was taken aback: "In this case, it is better to let Fengchao eat the land that ordinary people can't eat."

"If they want to farm land, we will lease it to them for farming. We only charge money equivalent to the imperial agricultural tax, or equivalent grain, as the rental fee."

This girl is no ordinary person!

This appetite and courage are really great.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Li Shimin shook his head, "These fields are for the common people. If they are leased, it is no different from being in the hands of the landlords."

Wu Jue pretended to be angry: "This will not work, and that will not work. Is it just empty talk and let my bank take out copper coins?"

"It's better that the bank is disbanded, and all the money in it is given to the imperial court, and each family sends hundreds of Wen and it's over."

All the anger is to win a bigger bargaining chip.

Li Shimin understood this very well, and he said softly: "How about I persuade the court to reduce the tax of the bank for one year?"

"Ten years." Wu Jue calmly reported a number.

Li Shimin shook his head: "The taxation of the bank is extremely important to Datang. Ten years is too long. How about it? What do you think of one and a half years?"

"Nine years." Wu Jue counter-offered, and the knife went straight to Li Shimin's main artery.

Li Shimin defended extremely tightly: "One year and seven months."

They were arguing so loudly that Gun Gun covered his ears and hid behind the counter.

In the end, a two-year tax exemption was set.

Li Shimin was particularly heartbroken. The two-year tax revenue of the bank was a lot of money, and Wu Jue's mouth was a little bit sharper than the rumors said.

Almost broke Li Shimin's defenses and said, "Don't do it, the court will use the money to do it."

Negotiated a tax-free period.

Li Shimin felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Wu Jue paused, then said again: "Besides, there is one more condition?"

"Isn't tax exemption enough?" Li Shimin became vigilant, and his tone became dangerous.

Wu Jue waved his hand: "Can that little tax be compared to the money that the bank gave out this time?"

"Don't worry, it's not an embarrassing condition."

Li Shimin sat up straight.

Wu Jue paused, and then said: "It's a very simple condition. If there is no unpredictable disaster, under normal circumstances, if the loan cannot be repaid when it expires, we have the right to take back the land."

"What is an unpredictable disaster?" Li Shimin was calm.

Wu Jue said: "For example, floods, droughts, and locust plagues, these things should pay attention to things that affect the harvest on a large scale."

Li Shimin thought for a while, nodded, and was about to respond when he found a blind spot and asked again, "What about the deadline?"

Wu Jue felt comfortable and introduced: "Don't worry, the time limit will not be difficult for anyone. We will calculate a suitable time limit based on the harvest per mu of land and the current grain price."

"If the imperial court is worried, just send some people over to investigate."

This... doesn't sound too difficult to accept.

The two of them bargained again, and Li Shimin finally negotiated a condition that was two years overdue. He was satisfied, patted his stomach, and ordered food.

After Li Shimin had eaten and drank enough, he left the restaurant.

Wu Jue sighed with emotion: "This person... is really difficult to deal with. He is not like the mediocre people in the household department. It turns out that the imperial court really has some really capable people."

"Da Lang, can this person use some means to dig him into the Phoenix's Nest?"

Yin Xuan couldn't help laughing, and reminded: "He is my father-in-law."

Wu Jue was stunned for a moment, then realized, and sighed in disappointment.

She almost believed Li Shimin's self-prosecution status.

"Da Lang, we are really at a loss this time." Wu Jue cried and felt wronged to Yin Xuan.

Yin Xuan raised his hand and patted her forehead: "Okay, my father-in-law doesn't know, I still don't know, you just want such a thing."

Wu Jue didn't speak, but just lowered his head.

"Whatever you want to eat tonight, you can order whatever you want." Yin Xuan picked up the roll, feeling a little worried. After Yin Lulu left for work, the bear didn't like to exercise very much and gained weight again.
