First of all, thank you to the friends in the book review area, because umr writes history basically while checking information, and there will inevitably be negligence. Book friends are willing to point out to show that this book is still saved... Thank you again
It was the second day when Xuan Shijing received Li Chengqian's letter. In the letter, Li Chengqian explained the matter about Jiangling and said that just this afternoon, he would wait with His Majesty Li Er in the Imperial Study room for him and Qiandui.
"Why did you pull the money into it?" Xuan Shijing shook his head with a wry smile.
"Little Marquis, what's wrong?" Long'er, who was standing beside him, was very puzzled when he saw Xuan Shijing's expression.
"To put it simply, it's still about money. Long'er, go and call the money and ask Gao Jun to put the carriage on. I will bring the money into the palace later." Xuan Shijing ordered.
"Oh." Although I didn't understand what was going on, Xuan Shijing gave the order, and Long'er still did as he said.
He piled up the money into the palace, and under the leadership of the eunuch, he went directly to His Majesty Li Er's imperial study.
At the door of the Imperial Study Room, the eunuch went in to report, while Xuan Shijing and Qian Dui were waiting outside the door.
"Little Marquis, why did you bring your little one here?" Although Qian Dui is a business genius, he is a big palace in the palace, Qian Dui is still a young man, and he always feels a little upset.
Looking at Qian Dui's expression, Xuan Shijing could also guess what Qian Dui was thinking, and smiled and said, "Let you practice your courage."
"No, Xiao Marquis, why are we practicing courage? Why are we running to the palace? If we practice courage, you can find a grave and I will go there in the middle of the night to have a walk." Qian Dui had already noticed the plaque hanging on the lintel of the room. There were three big gold-plated flying whites in the imperial study. As long as they were literate, they would know who they would meet in a while.
Qian Dui's father was born into a bandit, so Qian Dui was influenced by his father since he was a child. He did not like to deal with people from the official family, but sometimes he had to bite the bullet for profit in business. Over time, he got used to it. But the key is that this is not an ordinary official family now, but the leader of the official family. Qian Dui's scalp is now numb.
"Little money, people have to have some potential. Isn't it just to see an emperor and cheer up. Your Majesty still has one head and two eyes, and it's not three heads and six arms. If you can eat you, why are you nervous?" Xuan Shijing was amused by Qian Dui's words that he wanted to go to the grave. It seems that in the hearts of some people, His Majesty Li Er is really scary than a ghost.
"Jing'er, your remarks are always ridiculous." His Majesty Li Er's hearty laughter came from the imperial study room. Xuan Shijing turned his head and found that the gate of the imperial study room had been opened by the eunuch at some point.
"Mr. Marquis, please come in." The eunuch bowed and asked Xuan Shijing to come in.
Xuan Shijing took a look at the money pile who was still nervous: "Let's go."
"Oh." Qian Dui won, followed Xuan Shijing, and walked into the imperial study room carefully.
Although what Xuan Shijing said is quite reasonable, a commoner suddenly needs to see the emperor one day, so he should always be nervous.
After entering the imperial study room, Xuan Shijing saw His Majesty Li Er sitting in front of the desk in black casual clothes, and Li Chengqian knelt aside.
"I have seen Your Majesty."
"See Your Majesty."
Xuan Shijing and Qian Dui bowed to Li Er for salute.
"Everyone is exempted from gifts." His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile: "Jing'er, what I said just outside the door of the Imperial Study Room..."
"Uh, it's all jokes, haha, jokes." Xuan Shijing smiled awkwardly.
"Oh? A joke?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing jokingly: "What you joke about is true."
"Children's words are not quasi-disciplined, and children's words are not quasi-disciplined. I don't know that Your Majesty and His Highness summon the ministers..." Xuan Shijing quickly changed the subject.
His Majesty Li Er smiled: "I heard Cheng Qian say that there is a shopkeeper in your mansion, who is quite talented."
Xuan Shijing was speechless. Li Er might be interested in the wealth of money, not the talent... In a country where businessmen are ranked at the bottom of the pyramid of the entire social class, how could he value a businessman like money?
"I don't know what can be used to serve Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing looked at His Majesty Li Er carefully.
"I am not going to go around with you. I have handed over the drought in Jiangling to Chengqian. Chengqian told me that whether it is disaster relief or war, I rely on money. Now the treasury is not very full. To put it bluntly, it is just to let you think about making some money." A thing that was originally very embarrassed, His Majesty Li Er said it boldly, and he is really worthy of being the emperor of the ages. It seems that if you want to be an accomplished emperor, you have to fill your face first.
Xuan Shijing knew as early as when he saw Li Chengqian's letter, His Majesty Li Er was short of money now, and it was not ordinary lack of money. But there was one thing he didn't understand. Although the Turks went south to emptiate the Tang Dynasty treasury in the early years and later suffered disasters year after year, in the third year of Zhenguan, Li Jing and Li Ji defeated the Turkic Khan, and even Jie Li Khan captured the gold, silver and treasures in the Turkic tent were also pulled back in a car. How could he be so poor?
"Your Majesty, did General Li and others defeat the Turkic last year and brought back a lot of gold, silver and treasures? Why did the national treasury..." Xuan Shijing looked at Li Er very tactfully.
"Shijing, there are a lot of treasures, but if it is a disaster relief, the food will be used." Li Chengqian spoke.
Okay, after talking for a long time, Xuan Shijing finally knew what was going on. Whether it was the treasury or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and jade, but they were not in circulation. This made Xuan Shijing not know what to say about them. It was like in modern times, the house was full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but the family was hospitalized but said they could not afford the medical expenses.
Ten thousand alpacas in Xuan Shijing's heart ran by... Is this really the famous Li Erfeng in history? Xuan Shijing raised his head and looked at Qian Dui, and the surprise in their eyes was self-evident.
His Majesty Li Er looked at the subtle interaction between Xuan Shijing and Qian Dui. He was very curious and wanted to see what they could come up with. In fact, this matter could not be involved in Xuan Shijing. It was just that Xuan Shijing's recent actions made His Majesty Li Er curious about him. Since Li Tai had brought Xuan Shijing to him, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see what tricks Xuan Shijing could come up with to deal with it.
"You are money dump?" His Majesty Li Er set his eyes on Qian Dui.
"Go back to Your Majesty, that's right." Although Qian Dui was a little uncomfortable when His Majesty Li Er saw it, he still replied in a humble and arrogant manner.
"Then I ask you, what can you do to get a considerable amount of money in a short period of time." His Majesty Li Er asked.
Qian Dui had an answer to this question. On the way, his little marquis probably told him that if His Majesty wants to raise money, then learn from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s method and get something to sell it.
