After hearing this, Changsun Chong showed a puzzled look and said: "Dad, are you surprised? It is said that Du He has called more than 500 people in the past few days to go to the foot of Lishan Mountain to start reclaiming land. It seems that he wants to reclaim the area of the Emperor's land.
Coming out to farm..."
Changsun Wuji laughed loudly and said: "This Du He must be crazy because of his poverty. Even if the land is dug out, it will not produce food. He even called five hundred people there. I'm afraid that the five hundred people will not be able to get it by then."
You can’t even pick up people’s food, hahaha…”
Changsun Wuji did not intend to investigate Du He's behavior in detail. Instead, he thought Du He was a big fool.
…
Royal Palace.
Li Er took off his reading glasses, breathed a sigh of relief, took out a piece of fine silk and carefully wiped them clean before putting them away in the box.
Since getting these reading glasses, he no longer has drowsiness.
He suddenly asked: "Why has there been no news from Du He these days? Is he doing something bad again?"
Zhao Yang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Huyi County has been digging the ground these days!"
"Dig?"
Li Er was stunned.
Zhao Yang said: "Yes, Your Majesty, in order to cure the queen's illness, Lord Changsun gave the 20,000 acres of land at the foot of Lishan Mountain belonging to the Changsun family to the Marquis of Huyi County. In the past few days, the Marquis of Huyi County has brought
There are hundreds of people digging there, and they don’t know what they are doing.”
Li Er thought about it seriously, but couldn't figure out the connection.
He said: "Send someone to tell Du He that he will go to court tomorrow. Regarding the work-for-relief matter, the People's Avenue has been built and the reconstruction of the Imperial College has been completed. However, there has been no news about the resettlement house for the victims for a long time. It is about to be closed in winter.
Now that we are here, there are still so many victims staying in Chang'an City. If they don't have a place to live, they will be in big trouble again."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
On the morning of the second day, Du He first reported on the construction status of the resettlement houses for the victims. He could have slapped people on their butts, but he heard Li Er casually ask: "Du He, I heard that you have been
Is it possible to open up wasteland at the foot of Lishan Mountain?"
Du He chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I am not clearing wasteland, but digging for treasures!"
"Treasure, what treasure is there at the foot of Mount Li?"
"I don't know!"
"I wonder if you are still digging?"
Du He smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you still have to have dreams, just in case they come true."
"Ha ha……"
One sentence made everyone laugh.
Changsun Wuji said sarcastically: "Du He, it's really unwise to do something you know you can't do... They say you, Du He, are the best at making money and never engage in loss-making business... But what you are saying now is really ridiculous.
, don’t forget, those 20,000 acres of land were given to you by me... That land was in my hands, and I also sent people to dig it, but there was nothing left except some dead bones, and now you swear by it.
When you talk about digging for treasures, do you want to make everyone happy?"
Du He was not angry, and said with a smile: "Master Changsun, there must be a treasure. If you haven't found the treasure, it means you haven't dug enough... If you don't believe it, let's take a bet, how about it?"
"Okay!" Changsun Wuji said proudly, "What kind of gambling method?"
The corner of Du He's mouth turned up slightly and he said, "Just bet on whether I can dig out the treasure. You place the bet. If you win, I'll pay you back three times. How about that?"
To put it simply, the odds of not digging up the treasure are one to three, and the odds of digging up the treasure are one to one.
This uncharacteristic bet frightened Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji frowned and thought for a while, and then he realized that this was simply free money.
Changsun Wuji didn't think about the good things underneath those 20,000 acres of land.
He had invited many Taoist priests, tomb robbers and other experts to search the place inside and out, but in the end they found nothing, so he concluded that there could be nothing down there.
He sneered in his heart, Du He, Du He, you are probably going to lose everything this time.
Thinking about it, Changsun Wuji waved his hand: "Okay, Du He, don't say that I bully you when the time comes. I will bet two hundred thousand dollars."
hiss?
When the people around him heard this, they all took a breath of air.
Changsun Wuji is Changsun Wuji, so generous.
Of course, seeing Changsun Wuji acting like this, others were also jealous.
Pay three for one.
If one thousand guan continues, it will become 3,000 guan.
Someone came to Changsun Wuji and asked in a low voice: "Master Changsun, are you really sure that Du He can't dig up the treasure?"
Changsun Wuji said confidently: "Others don't know it, but I don't know it either. That piece of land belongs to me..."
He explained the matter simply.
Everyone's hearts were set.
"The Marquis of Huyi County, and me, ten thousand guan!"
"Me, five thousand strings!"
"I have eight thousand..."
…
Everyone was like hungry dogs eating shit, fearing that they would not be able to keep up with the hot food, so they placed their bets one after another.
Du He happily took out a piece of paper, sat cross-legged on the ground, clicked it one by one, and then said: "Everyone, I have written down all the bets you just made. Please pay the money before noon tomorrow.
Send them all to Dream Group and hand them over to the Finance Minister of our Dream Group - Her Royal Highness Princess Runan. When the time comes, this bet will not count..."
Changsun Wuji took the lead and said: "Du He, don't worry, everyone here is a respectable person, and you won't do such unfaithful things, but you have to remember, you won't be able to dig out the treasure by then.
, pay three for one!”
Bang bang bang.
Above, Li Er knocked on the table hard and said loudly: "Please be quiet, this wonderful morning has turned into a casino for you to wait. It's really unreasonable... I also want to take a gamble."
Du He chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, let's place a bet. Lord Changsun bets two hundred thousand guan. Your Majesty is rich in the world, how about a million guan?"
Li Er pondered: "The national treasury is the people's taxes. How can I use it? However, I do have some spare money in my inner treasury, not much, 80,000 yuan... Let's bet Du He can dig out the treasure.
"
ah?
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Your Majesty actually thinks that Du He can dig out the treasure?
Du He frowned.
This old man is so dishonest. He suddenly made such a move. What if he messed up my young master's affairs?
But I heard Li Er say: "As a king, of course I can't see Du He alone. Moreover, Du He just said that the resettlement houses for the victims are under construction. This is a great achievement. This money,
Just think of it as a reward for Du He."
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that His Majesty rewarded Du He in disguise, and he had no intention of getting the money back.
"support!"
"Agree!"
Everyone said it one after another.
Du He curled his lips and thought, Damn, Jiang is still hot when he is old, His Majesty Li Er is so shameless.
He carefully recorded Li Er's bets.
Seeing this, the others who had not planned to place bets could not help but placed bets. Of course, they were all betting that Du He would not be able to dig out the treasure.
As Li Er said, this nice morning show turned into a mess.
