Section 7 The Destroyed Li Ke

Fourteen-year-old Li Tai is making the most important choice in his life. Fourteen-and-a-half-year-old Li Ke is inspecting the house he built. The small buildings painted white are set among the green pines and cypresses, looking particularly elegant.

The roof of the building is made of red bricks, unlike the palace which is all gray. It’s no wonder that one is made of red bricks and the other is built of blue bricks, so they are naturally different.

People like the new and hate the old. Building No. 1 was occupied by the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, who didn't give him a penny. In a word, Yun Ye still owes me gold and hasn't paid it back, so he still dares to ask me for rent? Yun Ye had already told Li Ke

, their family can give the house to anyone who wants it, but they have to pay, otherwise Li Ke needs to advance the rent.

Li Ke is about to die of worry. Yun Ye is coming back soon. He only needs 60% of the rent, not counting the gentlemen of the academy. This house was originally built for them. Mr. Li Gang had already built the second house.

Yue moved his family from the capital to No. 10 Academy Building. It was the most beautiful building. The room was covered with ceramic tiles, and the floor was laid with pine wood. It was painted six times with light paint. The carved doors and windows were simple and elegant.

A glazed chandelier was installed. When it got dark, the chandelier was lowered with a winch and the oil lamp was lit. The room was filled with light and the oil fumes were not choking. The public losers thought of a good idea and added a small chimney. All the oil fumes were eliminated.

Taken outside, the furniture is very simple. It is not intended for the owner's home, but for replacement. No matter who sees such a nice house and then looks at the shabby furniture, they will replace it without hesitation.

You don't have to pay to use the furniture. If you want to replace the furniture, you need to pay extra.

A smiling businessman came to the door, holding a large pile of beautiful pictures for the host to choose from. If you were not sure, there was also a specially decorated model room for the host to visit, with soft chairs stuffed with a thick layer of wool and precious wood.

Made-to-order chairs, brocade piers, carpets shipped from the Western Regions, strange-looking tables, careful merchants and even carved wooden beds have been prepared.

Whoever admires this house is envious of it. Mr. Li Gang invested all his wealth to decorate the new home. The cost of decorating the house is far more expensive than the house itself. When the old man was contentedly lying on a soft chair, looking out the window

Suddenly, he jumped up and shouted: "I've been fooled." The old wife, who was sitting in front of the fireplace embroidering, almost sat on the ground in shock, complaining repeatedly about the old man: "I'm old, I'm old, I don't look like an old man at all.

Shocked and rough."

He was scolded by Li Gang: "What do women know? The cost of this building is only about 300 guan, and I spent 700 guan to buy the utensils in the house. This kid Yun Ye. If he doesn't make twice as much profit, he will

Do? That is to say, he made back all the money for building the building and the money for furniture, and maybe there was still some leftover. He also made me feel that he had spent a lot of money on the academy, which should have been my money in the first place.

My money. And I’m grateful to him. This damn little bastard! Poor old man’s life’s personal savings just fell into the tiger’s mouth.”

Mrs. Li looked at the thick carpet on the floor, then at the gleaming glass lamp above her head, and then at the attic-like bed. It didn't cost a lot to buy. Seven hundred guan was still the housekeeper of Yun Mansion.

Seeing the preferential price given by the old man because he was offering wine at the academy, Mrs. Li felt it was worth a thousand dollars, especially the large carved bed. Sleeping on it was like lying on the clouds, as was the hard bed at home.

It should have been thrown away a long time ago. He curled his lips and felt that the old man was being stingy.

"Okay, okay, when Marquis Yun comes back, you can teach him a lesson. He is still young, so he will change over time." Mrs. Li coaxed old Li Gang, old kid, old kid, this is what needs to be coaxed.

Yes, this made him calm down. Although he said harsh words to make Yun Ye look good, a smile appeared on his face.

The bad idea of ​​building a house by the waterfall was Li Ke's. The land at the foot of the mountain was really not enough, and there were still a lot of building materials left, so he took it upon himself to build a house on the open space next to the waterfall.

Standing outside the house listening to the rumbling sound of running water, Li Ke wanted to give himself a hammer on the head. Who likes to listen to noise all day long? Thinking of Yun Ye's words as a builder, the final result of a house that cannot be sold

Just sell it to yourself. This is a principle. When Li Ke thought about the endless noise he had to listen to during the two years in the academy, his brain ached. He took advantage of the messenger to go to the grassland and told him all his worries.

Yun Ye heard that he needed his opinion.

The letter received a response quickly

, there was an endless stream of messengers from the grassland to Chang'an. Yun Ye told him in the letter that it was not a big deal, it just needed to be packed. Li Ke needed to tell everyone that the "Tingpu Pavilion" next to the waterfall was the most beautiful among all the houses.

A tasteful house with mountains in the distance, trees nearby, and waterfalls. You can watch the sunrise in the morning and listen to the sound of springs at night. It is unique and rare in the world. If you miss it this time, you will never be able to visit Chang'an again.

A house with such a beautiful view, you can see the waterfall splashing as soon as you push the door, and you can feel the majesty of the waterfall up close. It is said that the benevolent people enjoy the mountains and the wise people enjoy the water. This house is only sold to successful people with both benevolence and intelligence. It will not be sold to those who are not qualified.

To give it to him would require doubling the price of the house.

Seeing Yun Ye's reply, Li Ke felt that his values ​​​​collapsed, he was dizzy, and there were stars in his eyes. Could it be that everything the master taught him was wrong? This is impossible! He cheered for his values ​​​​in his heart,

I hope he won't be ruined by this.

As a result, all the other houses at the auction were completed safely, but only this "Tingtao Pavilion" was fiercely contested. Countless successful people who claimed to be both benevolent and intelligent were vying to get this unique house.

The competition for the house with the same name was extremely fierce. The princes of the Li family, various princes, and the like were all driven away. Is the little prince worthy of being called a successful person? As for the people in Chang'an City

The wealthy businessman didn't even have the courage to raise the price. In the end, Old Fool Yuchi snatched the house from Li Xiaogong with his fist. At this time, the house price was already six times the psychological price of Li Ke!

Seeing the result, Li Ke's face turned pale and he had to hold on to the railing with both hands to keep himself balanced. Master, you are really wrong! They are all a group of fools and lunatics. Just one statement is worth three thousand guan?

Three thousand strings are in Chang'an city

You can also buy a luxury home.

He decided to go to his omnipotent father and tell him his doubts.

"If you don't tell me the reason, my father also wants this house.

." This was the first sentence His Majesty Li Er said after listening to Li Ke's story. After hearing this sentence, Li Ke could no longer sit still.

"There are distant mountains, near trees, and splashing waterfalls. You can see the sunrise in the morning, and you can hear the sound of springs at night.

Listening to Mingquan, if you don't think about it carefully, most people will not realize how noisy the roar of the waterfall is. What's more, this guy has used his name to sell it for money. It's not surprising to have such a result." Li Er said calmly.

"But Master said..." Li Ke still wanted to struggle.

"Don't mention Master at this time. Master belongs to a gentleman, not to the royal family, nor to a businessman, nor does it belong to Yun Ye after all. He handed over such a huge stall to you, haven't you understood the intention? As Mr.

, Yun Ye is qualified. As a minister, Yun Ye respectfully

, in order to cultivate your talents, I believe that the money you handled this time is about more than 30,000 yuan. You must know that it is impossible for me, your father, to hand over such a large sum of money to you and let you control it. Yun Ye did not

Looking for someone else, specifically looking for you, a half-year-old child, firstly, he wants to train you to be the person in charge of money in the future of our Datang Royal Family. He found that you have a talent in this area, and secondly, he wanted to tell me that what he did was just

Simply to make money to supplement the expenses of the academy, he spread everything out in front of me. Not only is he transparent, but he also appears to be aboveboard, you know? When he comes back this time, even your father and I will not kick him again.

After kicking him hard, no one in the court dared to underestimate him. The Marquis of Lantian will truly become the top noble of the Tang Dynasty."

When Li Er said this, there was regret that could not be concealed in his words. If this boy was his son, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty could be expected for a hundred years.

Li Ke hesitated for a long time before saying to Li Er: "Father, when Marquis Yun built the house this time, the money passed through the child's hands exceeded 70,000 guan. When the child built the house, he only spent less than 20,000 guan, of which the college was provided free of charge.

There are forty-two houses, and there are fifty-one houses. The construction cost of each house is less than 400 guan. This includes the profit of the cement kiln. If you exclude the profit of the cement kiln, the construction cost of each house is only less than 300 guan. The house is still

Before they were built, he received a total of 10,000 guan for ordering the houses, so Yun Hou built these houses for only 18,000 guan. Of the 52 houses, the cheapest one cost only 1,000 guan.

, the set of Tingpu Xuan sold for 4,000 guan, so now I have 70,000 guan in my hand, and there are still 20,000 guan that I have not recovered."

Li Er's tea cup shook, and the tea overflowed from the cup. He never dreamed that Yun Ye would make such a huge profit just by building some houses in the barren mountains. The annual tax of the entire Yangzhou was only 100,000 yuan.

, this is already a rare wealthy town.

It's a pity that the money has nothing to do with him. The war has just ended and the treasury is empty for horse racing. Even he is a little jealous.

"Have all the taxes been paid?" This was the only thing Li Er could ask.

"After that, every time a transaction was successful, the first thing I did was to pay taxes. The tax collector in Chang'an County followed my son all the time. Marquis Yun told my son that after the transaction was completed, the first thing I had to do was to pay taxes.

Taxes, otherwise the original intention of making money will be lost.”

"The original intention of making money? What does this mean?" Li Er was a little confused. He didn't know why Yun Ye regarded paying taxes so important. Everyone in Chang'an's family tried every means to evade taxes. Only Yun Ye regarded this matter as a serious matter.

The foundation of establishing oneself.

Li Ke hesitated for a long time before saying to Li Er: "My father, my son, doesn't understand the meaning. I just heard from Marquis Yun that one day my father will also start paying taxes, and then he will tell my son the reason. Now it's right."

Children do more harm than good."

"Where is this kid now?" Li Er asked the person standing behind him

bodyguard.
