"This kid is going to steal all of my treasury income for six years this time!"
"As long as this plan is implemented, I will really be the poorest emperor in history!"
"Mr. Guanyin, tell me, as an emperor, why should I be so repressed... It's not easy!"
Seeing His Majesty Li Er with an angry face, Empress Changsun chuckled in her heart.
Your Majesty, if that's the case, why did you agree to Su Chen?
Empress Changsun has become accustomed to His Majesty Li Er's duplicity and saving face.
For this breakfast, His Majesty Li Er couldn't work up his appetite anymore, so he had to put down the bowl and chopsticks, and then thought about how to make more money.
His Majesty Li Er really wanted to scold Su Chen for not being a family member and not knowing how valuable food and rice are.
Does he think that he can directly change the money with just one order?
In the past two years, Datang has indeed developed rapidly, and its economy and people's livelihood have been greatly improved.
But this does not mean that it is easy for His Majesty Li Er to make money!
Originally, after seeing the treasury becoming increasingly full, His Majesty Li Er planned how to use the treasury to realize some of his grand ambitions.
However, a light letter from Su Chen instantly knocked His Majesty Li Er back to the bottom, and all plans were shattered!
Within the next six years, not a penny in his treasury would belong to him!
Although His Majesty Li Er would not say that life has become as poor as it was in the first few years, if you want to do something big, you basically have to think twice.
Alas, it is not easy to be an emperor these days...
His Majesty Li Er felt very sour in his heart.
"Come here, tell Baiqisi!"
After a while, His Majesty Li Er called a hundred riders and told them to immediately arrange for people to go to the north to find Su Chen, and they must inquire carefully about the railway.
"Mr. Guanyin, tell me, is this guy Su Chen trying to trick me this time?"
The reason why His Majesty Li Er thought so was because Su Chen said at the end of the letter, "Your Majesty, my treasury is empty, and the remainder will be paid by Your Majesty."
In this regard, His Majesty Li Er expressed his disbelief.
In the Tang Dynasty, you would believe anyone who said he had no money, but if you said that Su Chen had no money, His Majesty Li Er would not believe it even to death.
Two years ago, Su Chen had tens of millions of dollars in any bank, not to mention that Su Chen now controls a Japanese country!
The terrible gold reserves of the Japanese country alone were enough for Su Chen to secure his position as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty!
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er is very ashamed of Su Chen's behavior of pretending to be poor.
You kid is obviously richer than me, the emperor, but you are pretending to be poor here?
!
Now, His Majesty Li Er feels that Su Chen is probably trying to trick him.
His Majesty Li Er blew his beard and stared.
It seems like you haven’t offended Su Chen recently, right?
He wondered, why did Su Chen have the nerve to say he had no money while guarding the huge wealth of Japan?
In fact, this time, His Majesty Li Er really wrongly blamed Su Chen.
If Su Chen wanted to, he could indeed mine more gold to build a railway by changing the mining technology.
However, if Su Chen really does this and causes a large amount of gold to suddenly flood into the market, there will only be one consequence!
inflation!
By that time, the value of gold will be at the same level as copper coins.
Economic development must be in line with actual development and cannot be rushed.
Therefore, this time, the money Su Chen currently has at his disposal is really not enough to support the huge expenditure of building a railway. He can only leave it to His Majesty Li Er to find a solution.
"Daddy, grandma!"
Just when His Majesty Li Er had a headache, a crisp voice came in.
It turns out that Xiao Sizi is here.
"Sizi, come to Dad and let Dad see if you have gained weight recently."
The arrival of Si Zi made His Majesty Li Er feel less depressed, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
Only in front of his precious daughter, His Majesty Li Er would put aside his status as emperor and be no different from an ordinary father who dotes on his daughter.
Little Sizi came to His Majesty Li Er, climbed onto his knees, and grabbed His Majesty Li Er's beard with her little hands.
His Majesty Li Er did not hide and allowed the little Sizi to do whatever he wanted.
Seeing His Majesty Li Er and Xiao Sizi getting along so harmoniously, Empress Changsun also showed a smile.
"Yes..."
Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er, who was teasing little Sizi, seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
Seeing this, Queen Changsun was thoughtful.
Based on her knowledge of His Majesty Li Er over the years, His Majesty Li Er must have some plan when he showed such an expression.
"Dad, what do you mean?
Is Sizi really fat?"
Xiao Sizi asked in a sweet voice.
"No, Dad didn't say that Si Zi is fat."
His Majesty Li Er patted little Sizi's head lovingly, and then asked with a smile: "Sizi, I want to ask you, do you miss your sister and your brother Su Chen?"
"I miss you! I miss them so much!"
Ever since Princess Changle married Su Chen, little Sizi was basically alone in the palace. Recently, she rarely had the chance to leave the palace, and she was often depressed because of this.
On the side, Queen Changsun seemed to understand something.
Could it be that His Majesty wanted Sizi to go to Su Chen to find out more information, and then let him find a way to solve the money problem?
Queen Changsun looked at His Majesty Li Er with a questioning look in her eyes.
His Majesty Li Er knew what Empress Changsun wanted to ask him, so he shook his head gently and asked her to keep silent.
Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile, but she didn't say anything more.
His Majesty Li Er asked: "Sizi, do you want to see your brother Su Chen?"
"I think about it, but... Brother Su Chen is busy dealing with the locust plague in the north recently. It would be better for Sizi not to cause trouble for Brother Su Chen."
Although Xiao Sizi is not very old, he already knows many things and knows what it means to put the overall situation first.
"Ha ha."
His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly and said: "Then let me tell Si Zi some good news. Your brother Su Chen is dealing with the locust plague smoothly in the north, and because of the heavy snow, he may be able to do everything soon.
alright!"
Hearing this, little Sizi's big eyes widened in surprise and asked in surprise: "Dad, is this true?"
"It must be true. Can dad still lie to you?"
"Then when will Sizi see brother Su Chen?"
"If Sizi wants to, how about going north to find brother Su Chen with your brother Prince in these two days?
Just think of it as going to play with your brother Su Chen and help him relax."
Your Majesty Li Er is good at tempting you. How could a simple little Sizi think so much?
