Chapter 770 Greed and status are directly proportional
Li Shimin finally agreed to the condition of letting Changsun Wuji go to Jiaozhou because he had no choice.
Li Yuanji did not stay in Yanxi Hall for long. Even when Wanchun caught up with him several times and wanted to talk, Li Yuanji did not stay.
After returning to Wude Hall, Li Yuanji fulfilled his promise to Li Shimin and asked Liu Jun to take a handwritten letter to the cell in Dali Temple and hand over Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, who had been detained there for a year.
brought it up.
He sent the two men back to their homes, prepared their things, and sent them to Liangzhou and Jiaozhou to take up posts on the same day.
After doing all this, the transaction with Li Shimin was completed.
Li Shimin was also a believer, and he began to prepare for the resale of officials and titles as if he were a foreigner.
Although there are still several months until Yuan Day, the reselling of official titles is still a bit difficult for Li Shimin, a person who has no identity, so some preparations must be made in advance.
While Li Shimin was busy preparing for the resale of officials and titles, Li Yuan was not idle either.
Li Yuan personally sent someone to visit the Governor's Mansion in Duji Province to learn about the establishment of the Governor's Martial Arts School in Duji Province, and also learned about the learning situation of Zhang Liang's son.
When he learned that Zhang Liang's son's academic level was still at the county school level, he did not hesitate to secretly send Pei Ji's youngest son to a martial arts school in Duji Road to serve as a teacher, and he trained Zhang Liang fiercely.
Son, the euphemistic name is to help him become a talented person.
When Zhang Liang learned that Li Yuan personally sent people to train his son at a martial arts school in Duji Road and treated his son terribly, he not only didn't dare to let go of anything, but also personally prepared a generous gift and rushed to Pei Ji's son.
Mansion, as a reward for helping his son become a talented person.
At present, Li Yuan has relieved almost all his authority. Apart from the eunuchs and concubines in the palace, the only people left who can use him are the Pei Ji lineage among the Pei family.
So everyone knows that the Pei Ji lineage of the Pei family is Li Yuan's Ma Zai.
Therefore, without Li Yuanji's support, no one dared to stroke Li Yuan's tiger beard. Not only that, they had to respect him like a god, otherwise they would be asking for trouble.
Time flies to the winter moon.
The climate inside and outside Chang'an City turned cold at an incredibly fast speed, and many people put on Yuan clothes and wrapped themselves in furs.
The Earth Fire Dragon in the Tai Chi Palace was also ignited.
Li Yuanji was wearing single clothes, sitting deep in the Wude Hall, dividing the spoils with Li Xiaogong and Su Dingfang.
The water and sea transportation matters have been completely settled. The money and grain paid by each company to purchase tickets have also been put into the warehouse, and the goods have been put into the warehouse. Everything has been settled.
It wasn't supposed to end so quickly.
Because there are too many people who are concerned about profits from water transportation and sea transportation.
Among them there are many people who shake their feet even when they are stomping up and down in the government and the public.
While these people were planning tickets, they saw that several older princesses were suffering in the palace because of water and sea transportation, so they temporarily suppressed their greed.
This brought the matter to a successful conclusion.
"Your Highness, Xiao's last batch of grain has arrived at the Yangzhou Granary and is now in storage. All the grains promised to us by each family have been paid.
Some people didn't have enough food, so they used money to pay their bills and collected some.
It is now on its way to Chang'an, and I believe it will be shipped to Chang'an soon."
Su Dingfang held a document in his hand and made a final summary of the sale of water and sea transportation tickets.
Li Xiaogong sat on one side, enjoying the biting coolness brought by the ice wine, and shouted happily: "We can say that we have gained a lot this time.
It’s more than what we make by selling goods by water and sea transport..."
At the end of the sentence, the smile on Li Xiaogong's face became even brighter, and he couldn't hide his pride. However, there were some words he didn't say out loud, but his meaning was obvious, that is, it was time to divide the spoils.
Li Yuanji glanced at the wine bottle in Li Xiaogong's hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Drinking ice wine in the middle of winter, and drinking wine that has been chilled after being stored at low temperatures for a long time, is definitely a brain problem.
But since people like to look for excitement, it’s hard for him to say anything.
I just don’t know if Li Xiaogong can continue to drink wine in the winter when the rheumatism in his legs breaks out.
"So much food, so much money, these wealthy families have collected it so quickly. It can be seen that these wealthy families in our Datang Dynasty have a strong foundation."
Li Yuanji sighed casually, and Li Xiaogong immediately echoed, "That's right, just a little leakage from these wealthy families will be enough for us to live on for a lifetime."
Su Dingfang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Yuanji continued: "Now that the food and money have been collected, let's talk about how to divide them."
Li Xiaogong immediately became excited.
Although Su Dingfang tried hard to restrain himself, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Still the old rules, the court takes 90%, and you all share 10%."
Li Yuanji said slowly.
Li Xiaogong shrank, and the excitement on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by anger, "Are you too greedy? Eat 90% of it in one go, and let the two of us share 10%?"
Li Yuanji said calmly: "It's not that you two share 10%, but you, Dingfang, Shufang and others share 10%."
Li Xiaogong stood up immediately, stared in disbelief, and yelled: "How can this be done? It was done by the two of us. Not only did they not participate, they also did not contribute, so why should they share it with us?
"
The excitement in Su Dingfang's eyes disappeared, but he didn't yell like Li Xiaogong, he just sat there quietly.
Li Yuanji ignored Li Xiaogong, but looked at Su Dingfang and asked, "You think so too?"
Su Dingfang quickly raised his hands and said, "I will do whatever His Highness says. I believe that Your Highness must have deep meaning in doing so."
"There is a profound meaning to fart!"
Li Xiaogong cursed loudly and said contemptuously: "He just wants to eat alone!"
Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong indifferently and said: "I want to eat alone. I am qualified to eat alone, but do you have it?"
Li Xiaogong shouted angrily: "Why don't I? You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Although I am lower than you, I can also eat a lot on my own."
Li Yuanji said calmly: "Really? You occupy a part of the border market. When all the border markets are launched in various places, the benefits gained by you as a part of the market will probably exceed one million yuan."
If you were allowed to occupy a few more shares in water transportation and sea transportation, and get hundreds of millions of dan of grain, wouldn't you be as rich as the country?
If you continue to use this money and food to support some dead soldiers, shouldn't my position be given to you?"
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he suddenly woke up and swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.
It is true that his eyes were bewildered by the huge profits, but this does not mean that he has been so confused by the huge profits that he does not know whether to live or die.
Although Li Yuanji said a lot, he can sum it up in one sentence.
You eat more and occupy more. Now that you have money and food, isn’t it time to rebel?!
The word rebellion is not something he should be tainted with.
He also knows that in today's Tang Dynasty, if you are contaminated by this word, you will die faster than anyone else.
He had the ability to occupy a mountain and become king, and he also had the ability to tear apart the earth and establish a state, but he was unable to deal with the talented generals of the Tang Dynasty and the four fathers and sons of his direct lineage nesting in the palace.
Therefore, he can’t take over the word rebellion, and he can’t take over too many people from border markets, water transportation, and sea transportation.
He likes both money and food, but his liking must have a limit. This limit is decided by the four direct descendants and his son.
And Li Yuanji is now the talker among the four direct descendants, and his words are his limit.
"Now do you understand why I eat alone?"
Seeing that Li Xiaogong understood the stakes, Li Yuanji calmed down and stared at Li Xiaogong and asked.
Li Xiaogong nodded stiffly.
Li Yuanji continued: "I eat alone because I can protect your connections in border markets, water transportation, and sea transportation. I can also protect your lives, and even more, your glory and wealth.
If you eat alone, what can you save?"
Li Xiaogong pursed his lips and remained silent.
Li Yuanji continued: "This matter of selling the qualifications for water transportation and sea transportation, if I hadn't been behind it and helped you block waves of impeachments and waves of calculations, you would have really been able to sell water transportation."
And the shipping qualifications for sea freight are sold smoothly?"
Li Xiaogong looked embarrassed.
Li Yuanji snorted and said, "My four greedy sisters alone are enough for you to drink a pot."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji asked angrily: "Do you still think I am eating alone?"
Li Xiaogong shook his head awkwardly.
It's true that he is the king of the county, but compared to the princesses of Changsha and Xiangyang, he is still one level behind.
Therefore, if the princesses from Changsha and Xiangyang really competed with him for food, he might not be able to handle it.
If the princesses of Changsha and Xiangyang invite Li Yuan to seek justice, then he must give the princesses of Changsha and Xiangyang a share of the pie.
Although the country belongs to the Li family, as a member of the Li family, he is qualified to enjoy all the benefits of the Tang Dynasty.
But the Li family is also the direct descendant of the Li family. Even the children of the direct descendant of the Li family can enjoy better treatment than he, the direct descendant of the common descendant, let alone the direct descendants of the direct descendant of the Li family.
He has the right to plunder everything that belongs to his common people.
Therefore, let alone Li Yuanji living alone, even if he was not given a penny, according to the clan rules, he could not complain at all.
"Since you don't think I'm eating alone, just share the food as I say. Don't even think about the food. Just exchange all the shares you get into money and just share the money."
Seeing that Li Xiaogong had nothing to say, Li Yuanji made a decisive decision.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Su Dingfang immediately handed over his hand and thanked him.
Li Xiaogong hesitated for a moment before raising his hand.
