Chapter 2520 Such a humble brother, this is a family
Li Shimin put the heavy gold bar in his hand back into the box and rubbed his fingers.
"Hmm... It seems that the gold mountain on Huangniao Island cannot be faked. No one will use one hundred thousand taels of gold to make fun of me."
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi took two steps forward and his face suddenly became very serious.
Once again, he took out the confirmation letter and presented it with both hands respectfully.
"On behalf of the Han and Tang dynasties, my son-in-law donated this island to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"..." Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang, who had a very serious and serious expression in front of him, and glanced at the one hundred thousand taels of shining gold.
At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian also stood up and bowed to his biological father sincerely.
"Father, as the saying goes, 'Everything in the world is the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers.' But now the Yellow Bird Island is an ownerless land."
"When our people of the Tang Dynasty are about to be in trouble overseas, an auspicious yellow bird comes to protect our people of the Tang Dynasty."
"It's enough to see that there is a spirit on this island, and I will be the shepherd of it in heaven..."
Li Shimin pursed his lips and looked at the boxes of gold that were so dazzling that he felt like a deer in his heart.
The words of his biological son Li Chengqian also made him particularly moved, but as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was still necessary to hesitate and make a gesture.
So Li Shimin set his sights on his biological father, Li Yuan. "What does father think?"
At this moment, the Supreme Emperor, who was making gestures with two gold bars in his hand, saw the look from his own son and threw the gold bars back.
Stroking his long beard, he put on the expression of a sage who regards gold and silver as dirt, and spoke from a rational point of view very reservedly.
"Erlang, I also feel that this is a rare piece of great news since the Tang Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang."
As soon as this statement came out, Li Shimin also believed that it was true that the Tang Dynasty needed some auspiciousness and good omen to move the capital.
And isn’t this Yellow Bird Island, which is made of gold and silver, the auspicious sign of Tianlong?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but cast his eyes on Cheng Sanlang who was looking at him eagerly, as if he was afraid that he would be unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
In a daze, it seemed that many years ago, my beloved wife Guanyin once said that this boy was her lucky star.
Sure enough, he is indeed the destined person.
Li Shimin's eyes gradually became kind and kind, and he grinned at Cheng Sanlang.
"I'm going to play it right!"
"Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty. Your Majesty is indeed a wise master. Since we moved the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the new capital has a new atmosphere. Everything is going smoothly. The sky has also sent down auspiciousness to congratulate it..."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately pushed up the golden mountain and poured out the jade pillar to bow down to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his beloved father-in-law.
A loud flattery was directed directly into the face of the father-in-law, making the father-in-law blush, his face was slightly spicy, and he even felt a little bit shy in his heart.
Li Yuan on the side was a little unhappy, but considering that this boy Cheng Sanlang had the habit of talking about people and ghosts.
Forget it, don't argue with this guy, as long as your own benefits can be settled.
Although he is a high-ranking emperor, he does not have enough money in his pocket to reward his children and grandchildren, so he always feels uneasy.
After all, I now have a young son who is waiting to be fed. Alas...it is difficult to be a father, and it is even more difficult to be an elderly father.
"What about these..." Li Shimin glanced at the gold worth one million dollars, and he was really embarrassed to ask.
He saw his son Li Ke and said quickly.
"I also ask my father to establish regulations, and any newly discovered barren land will be dedicated to the imperial court."
"Half of the products on the land should be obtained as a reward for the discoverer."
Li Shimin understood in an instant, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. If so, 95% of the one million strings here are actually his.
On the contrary, Li Shimin was a little embarrassed to do it. This feeling of getting something for nothing actually made him a little shy.
Li Shimin stroked his beard and pondered. At this time, Li Zhi beside him became a little anxious and muttered in a low voice.
"Father, I think it's quite good. After all, the discoverer is given too many gifts, and the other person's wealth is easily coveted..."
Cheng Chubi had a calm expression on his face, but in his heart he almost yelled, "You brat, do you want to ruin Cheng's big event?"
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was wise, powerful, and always very knowledgeable, did not follow the advice of his son, who seemed a bit greedy and stingy.
Instead, he just waved his hand towards Li Zhi and began to stroll slowly inside the warehouse.
"Brother, why don't you persuade my father to agree?" Li Zhi saw this scene and couldn't help but asked Li Chengqian in a low voice.
Li Chengqian glanced at the ninth brother, thought about it seriously, and then spoke.
"'Every bustle in the world is for profit; the bustle in the world is for profit.'
Our Tang Dynasty is rich in the world, so we should treat the people of the world with a broad mind and courage.
If the court is too stingy with those who contribute, how many people in the world will be willing to contribute to the court in the future, with new land and new things?"
Li Shimin turned around and looked over, and saw the eldest son Li Chengqian, who was explaining to Jiulang what kind of ambition and courage a ruler of the Tang Dynasty should have.
He couldn't help but show a look of relief on his face, and Li Yuan on the side also smiled and stroked his long beard.
After stepping forward and patting Li Chengqian's shoulder, he spoke kindly and warmly to Li Zhi, whose face was full of instruction.
"Luo Nu, you must remember your elder brother's words. As a superior, you must be broad-minded and have a far-sighted vision."
"When you return to the feudal clan in the future, you will understand how important your elder brother's words are."
Li Zhi raised his head, glanced at his brother who was patiently teaching him, and then glanced at his grandfather who looked at his eldest brother with a look full of relief.
He nodded vigorously, trying hard to maintain a respectful and well-behaved smile.
"Yes, Grandpa Huang, don't worry, your grandson will definitely remember his brother's teachings and will not dare to violate them."
"Well, okay, okay, these brothers are humble and respectful, this is what makes a family."
Li Shimin on the side walked over with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Cheng Sanlang.
"I will think it over carefully and I will definitely not disappoint you, my worthy son-in-law, or a business like Han and Tang Trading Company that is loyal to the imperial court."
"In addition, tomorrow you will contribute these 100,000 taels of gold to the court in the name of Han and Tang Commercial Banks. Remember, tomorrow."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law understands." Cheng Chubi nodded, feeling his arm being bumped frequently by a certain prince with a beer belly.
He rolled his eyes helplessly and recommended an outstanding representative to his father-in-law.
"My father-in-law, my son-in-law is now an official in charge of Luoyang. It would be inappropriate for him to go to court as a representative of a trading company. In addition, two other bridges will be opened tomorrow, so my son-in-law needs to be present to supervise."
"So my son-in-law recommends His Highness the King of Wu to my father-in-law. Anyway, he has no official position and is light-weight, so he has nothing to do."
