After Zhengyuan, Li Shen regained his composure. In April, Li Shen and Ding You ended. Said it was three years. Just five months like him will be enough. Li Shen began to go to the Imperial College to take classes. During this period, Li Shen purified penicillin for four or five people. Put them all in small jars, seal them with wax, and put them in a cool place.

The normal shelf life of penicillin is two years. Li Shen felt that this would expire within a year at most. And his production process has been improved. It has initially matured and the success rate has been greatly improved. It has now entered the animal experiment stage. The so-called animal is the mouse. Make a wound on the mouse with a knife.

Let it get infected. Apply penicillin again. Moreover, Li Shen had already gone to the Ministry of Industry to find someone to make needles. But because it is too difficult. There has been little progress yet. Li Shen has issued a reward. Whoever can make it will be rewarded with hundreds of coins. Li Shen believed that there would be results soon with the heavy reward.

As for the department building. Li Shen has earned more than 1000 yuan in the past four months. Most of them came from royal relatives outside the palace. For example, various princes who stayed in Chang'an. Or like a maternal relative. Changsun Wuji is a relative, and his family placed orders for more than 400 pieces. Therefore, Li Shen is now considered to have a small amount of assets.

But after school, Li Shen felt his right eyelid jump. Feeling uneasy. So I hurried back to Daji Hall after school. Avoid disaster. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Daji Hall, he saw Wang De waiting in the front hall. Seeing Li Shen come back, he said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness King Shen. Your Majesty has said that you should go to Ganlu Hall after school."

When Li Shen heard this, he felt that he was going to be in trouble, so he said to Wang De, "Old Wang, wait for me for a moment. I will put down my things. Change my clothes. I will follow you."

"It's okay, your highness, go ahead. I'm waiting here." Wang De was not in a hurry.

Li Shen returned to the room and washed up in a hurry. Changed clothes. He took out a piece of paper from the box on the table and put it in his arms. Then he followed Wang De and hurried to Ganlu Hall.

In the Manlu Palace, Li Shimin was discussing state affairs with several important ministers. There was chaos in Tuyuhun in the tenth year of Zhenguan. Khan was killed. Li Shimin sent Hou Junji to help, and the new Khan Nuohebo was young. Ask the Tang Dynasty to issue a calendar and enshrine the Tang Dynasty's reign title. The important ministers discussed and agreed, and granted Nuohebo the title of Prince of Heyuan County and Wudi Yeba Qindou Khan.

Everyone has finished discussing it. Li Shimin did not let them leave. Instead, he said with a smile, "Gentlemen, who do you think is talented among the many princes?"

Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other, but no one wanted to speak out first. These veterans are very cunning. If you understand this kind of problem, you can't talk nonsense. I don’t know what Li Shimin meant. But you can’t help but reply to the emperor’s culture. So Fang Xuanling stood up first and said:

"Your Majesty, the prince has been smart since he was a child. He is capable of literature and martial arts. He is handsome, benevolent and filial."

"Yes, the prince is smart, kind and knowledgeable." Wei Zheng also stood up and said. Later, ministers Tang Jian, Zhang Liang, Li Xiaogong and others also followed suit.

Seeing the misunderstanding, Li Shimin laughed and said, "Haha, gentlemen, please don't misunderstand me. Of course I know how good the prince is. The talent I'm talking about is actually the cleverness. I'll let you see in a moment, my son is very slippery." .”

"Oh, I don't know why His Highness is so smart." Knowing that they might be wrong, everyone was not worried.

Li Shimin said he would be there soon. He saw Wang De standing at the door, and Li Shimin said to Wang De.

"Let him in".

"Your Highness. Your Majesty invites you in." Wang De turned to Li Shen and said

When Li Shen entered the Manna Hall, he didn't expect so many people. I don’t know what to say. I can only greet everyone first.

"I've seen Aye, I've seen all the princes"

"I have met His Highness King Shen," everyone also said politely.

Li Shimin, who was on top, said to Li Shen. "Li Shen, do you know why I came to you?"

"I don't know," Li Shen could only pretend to be stupid.

"Oh, then I will give you some advice. Do you know Si Zhifang?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shen playfully and said

Li Shen had already guessed this. He hasn't done much else lately except this. He also knew that Li Shimin would find out sooner or later.

"Go back to Aye, I know the Secretary House. It is a place where furniture is made for the palace," Li Shen said back.

"Oh, you know. Then don't you want to tell me something?" Li Shimin asked again

"This, that." Li Shen didn't know what to say. There are so many people here. Originally, he planned to recruit the emperor to join him. After all, there is not much money in the internal funds. Li Shimin spent all his time on national construction. But there are so many ministers in this palace. He was too embarrassed to directly ask the emperor to become a shareholder.

"Hmph. Since you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you. Everyone knows where your recently popular tables and chairs come from." Li Shimin snorted.

"I know. It comes from the Secretary House. I also ordered a batch at my house." Changsun Wuji said first.

"My family also ordered a batch." Li Xiaogong also agreed.

"I've heard about it." "I've heard about it too." Others also echoed. It's just that they are not relatives of the emperor. That’s why I recently found out that it was from Si Zhifang. In fact, they also want to make a batch.

"Then you don't know that Li Shen is running the business behind this house building business, right?" Li Shimin exposed Li Shen and said

"what?"

"Really?"

"Is there still this?"

Everyone was surprised. This King Shen is really brave. Make money by building houses. No wonder His Majesty said he was clever.

"Li Shen, am I right?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and asked

"Back to Aye, it's not actually a business. I just earned some craft fees. I came up with all the ideas, including styles and patterns. Children can't work in vain." Li Shen said aggrievedly

"Hmph, that's not a small amount of money. You've earned more than 500 yuan in three months," Li Shimin said, regardless of Li Shen's grievances.

"What? So much money"

“It’s still a small amount of money”

"King Shen is so awesome."

The minister was shocked again.

Seeing being exposed, I am no longer afraid. When Li Shen continued to act rogue, he said: "Yeah, it's only a little over 1000 yuan. It's just a small amount of money for you and the ministers. It's not worth mentioning."

"Little money? My internal funds are only over 3 yuan now." Li Shimin was very happy. This Li Shen talks too much. One thousand five hundred is used to paying back small sums.

"Your Highness, one thousand five hundred yuan is my salary for one year. I can't make that much money in three months." Wei Zheng stood up and said the last shot in time.

Li Shen was speechless. At this time, you still need to hit the target. He had no choice but to resort to his trump card.

"Aye, I have a reason."

"If you have any reasons, please tell me and let me and the other gentlemen listen." Li Shimin said, wanting to see what Li Shen said.

Li Shen took out a piece of paper from his arms and said. "Aye, my reasons are all on this piece of paper. Please check it."

Li Shimin motioned to Wang De to bring it up. Wang De went down and took the paper from Li Shen's hand and glanced at it. Then Wang De's eyes couldn't help but twitch twice. This King Shen is too bold.

Li Shimin took the paper and glanced at it, but couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. There were several large letters clearly written on it, namely, a table and chair sharing contract. Then Li Shimin took a cursory look and basically knew what was written above. The contract is simple. It was the internal funds that Li Shen transferred [-]% of his shares to Li Shimin for free. And he is willing to include [-]% of his previous income. After reading it, Li Shimin said expressionlessly

"Li Shen, do you know that what you have done is a transgression and will be punished severely. Your excuse is not enough."

"Forty percent" Li Shen said with pain.

"You know, what you got is not ill-gotten wealth. It's also my fault that I don't pay too much attention to you. That's why you develop such a habit of being greedy for money." Li Shimin said sadly.

"Fifty percent off. Please spare my life, Aye." Li Shen cried, and he wanted the money to take his life. Rather than actually taking his life.

"Yes. The reason for watching is excusable. Go back and write down what happened. Take the things you need to hand in and give them to Wang De. Go back," Li Shimin said with satisfaction.

Li Shen left dejectedly. Fifty percent of 750 people are no longer used to it. Li Shen felt that his life had lost its luster.

Watch Li Shen go out. Li Shimin asked everyone. "You guys have seen it. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, King Shen is young and playful, but he is really smart and smart. Although such behavior is considered to be excessive, it is understandable because he is young and ignorant," Fang Xuanling said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Highness King Shen is still very smart." Changsun Wuji also said

"Do you know what is written on this paper? Then you will know why I said he was slippery." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he motioned to Wang De to show them the contract written by Li Shen.

It dawned on everyone after reading it. "This King Shen turned out to be bribing His Majesty. Let me tell you why it was [-]% to [-]% just now."

"Your Majesty has returned to the throne and should not join the ranks of Shangjia." Wei Zheng added.

"What Mr. Wei said is wrong. At this time, King Shen is filial to His Majesty. How can it be said that he participated." Changsun Wuji retorted.

"Wei Gong. I have been registered for nine years. The internal funds are less than [-] yuan. This Tai Chi Palace has been in disrepair for a long time and is damp. I wanted to repair it, but I did not dare to use the treasury. Do you think I am living a hard life?" Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng heard Li Shimin's complaints and knew that Li Shimin had been diligent and frugal since registering. The treasury sometimes runs out of money. It was all Li Shimin's money from internal funds. Li Shimin has not spent a penny from the treasury in so many years. So I had to give up.
