Eight hundred and fifty second chapter was pitted by Du He
"Yes, those who know me are great! This time, Du He discovered potatoes and successfully planted them, which solved the problem of food shortage in the Tang Dynasty. This contribution can be said to be unparalleled in the world and will be recorded in the annals of history.
...I am absolutely unambiguous when it comes to rewards for merit, but how to award rewards is difficult!" Li Er sighed.
Why did you promise that boy to marry the two princesses to him in the first place?
Regret!
Hou Junji said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this matter was jointly agreed upon by officials from the three provinces and six ministries. Everyone agreed that Du He should be awarded the title of Duke of the State for his contribution to the discovery of potatoes. As for whether it should be done or not, in the end, we should ask His Majesty to judge...
...If further discussion is needed, I think it would be better to discuss it with Changsun Sikong, Wang Situ, Fang Xiang, and Du Xiang. Although I am trusted by your Majesty, I am only the Minister of the Ministry of War. It does not seem appropriate to participate in the discussion of this matter!
"
As a minister, Hou Junji has always been very clear about his position.
Li Er smiled and said: "Haozhi, it's not that you feel something is wrong, but deep down in your heart, you still have some resentment towards Du He."
Hou Junji showed a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty does not know that my third son Hou Yi has been smart since he was a child. Originally, I wanted him to study hard in the Imperial College and serve as an official in the court to benefit the people. Who knew that he was gone?"
Huxian actually claims to be a lackey of Du He's family, and spends all day studying cement. That cement is just mud. Mud is a child's toy. Chen... I feel bad. I went to see Yi'er several times.
, everyone saw that he was following a demon, and many people laughed at him as a lunatic... I am heartbroken!"
Lao Hou is also a human being.
Seeing his son being brought up like this by Du He, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart.
Li Er smiled and said: "Okay, Haozhi, I probably know about this, but if Hou Yi really does something by following Du He, I will never favor one over the other, and I will definitely reward him heavily!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration for me!"
Li Er said happily: "Just now, Du He sent someone to send news that I gave him 200,000 guan a few days ago. In just a few days, he made 50,000 guan... Haozhi, you know, I am a big man
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty all belong to me, but the feeling of getting rich overnight is very good... If it weren't for Du He, I wouldn't have known that there was such a way to steal money from those wealthy businessmen without any blood.
, Du He has done a good job, I have decided to make Du He the Duke of the country. I will announce this matter tomorrow and tell the world. At the same time, I will tell the people about the potatoes. From now on, no one will be hungry again.
.”
Hou Junji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Although he was a little unhappy, he also knew that Du He had made such great contributions and deserved to be granted the title of Duke.
Li Er is in a good mood.
Two hundred thousand guan, and in just a few days, he made 50,000 guan. This is simply a huge profit.
This kind of gameplay is really unprecedented!
At this time, Hou Junji resigned.
But Li Er waved his hand and said sarcastically: "Haozhi, why are you in a hurry to go back? Later, my capital of 200,000 yuan and the profit of 50,000 yuan will be sent to me. Why don't we take a look together?
!”
Hou Junji was a little confused.
Your Majesty makes money, what do you do to me?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps coming from the door of the Imperial Study Room.
The door opened, and several forbidden soldiers walked in carrying large boxes.
Under Zhao Yang's command, the boxes were arranged neatly, and then they were all opened with a clatter.
Suddenly, boxes of Kaiyuan Tongbao appeared in front of Li Er and Hou Junji.
Li Er said proudly: "Haozhi, look, this is what I have gained in the past few days, a total of 250,000 yuan! Hahaha..."
Hou Junji opened his eyes and counted. There were five thousand guan in one box, but there were only ten boxes in front of him, that is, 50,000 guan.
He coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that 200,000 yuan is not enough!"
Li Er came to his senses and counted carefully.
"What's going on?" He turned around and asked Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed 50,000 yuan!"
"What about the remaining 200,000 guan? Could it be that the 200,000 guan didn't make any money at all, and only 50,000 guan was left?"
Li Er's heart skipped a beat.
In business, there are profits and losses, this is a truth that has existed since ancient times.
Li Er lost 150,000 yuan at once, and Li Er's heart was bleeding.
He was so arrogant just now, and now he is so embarrassed.
Hou Junji turned his head hastily, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he almost burst into laughter.
Zhao Yang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I made a profit, I made a profit, including principal and interest, it is 250,000 guan, this is the 50,000 guan earned!"
"What about my capital?"
"The Duke of Huyi said that your majesty's capital of 200,000 yuan should be left alone. It is better to invest it to make money. From now on, just wait for the money to be divided!" Zhao Yang whispered.
"Invest? Invest in what?"
Zhao Yang said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Huyi County said that he doesn't know yet."
temporary?
have no idea?
Li Eryi rolled his sleeves: "This boy, he doesn't know anything, yet he dares to take away my money? He is so brave, call him here immediately, I want to question him."
Zhao Yang said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Huyi County rushed back to Huxian County before dark."
Li Er: "..."
Hou Junji looked calm on the surface, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart.
Du He is so stubborn that he even dares to deceive His Majesty.
After a while, Li Er's roar came from the imperial study: "Du He, you bastard!"
Hou Junji asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what about Du He's reward for discovering potatoes?"
"Reward is nothing..." Li Er actually cursed, "I still need to discuss this matter with the Supreme Emperor, huh!"
"Your Majesty is wise, I will retire!"
Hou Junji couldn't bear it anymore and quickly found an opportunity to escape.
…
Li Er returned to the palace angrily.
Queen Changsun was very curious when she saw it.
Your Majesty has been in a good mood these past few days.
First of all, it was because Du He discovered potatoes, and Huxian County grew vast swathes of potatoes. In just a few years, they could be spread throughout the world and solve the problem of food shortage in the Tang Dynasty.
Then he joined Du He and made money by selling grain!
Seeing Li Er's face gloomy and furious, Queen Changsun was puzzled, thinking that the money-making business had failed?
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Empress Changsun stepped forward, personally untied Li Er's clothes, and asked softly.
Li Er said angrily: "Are you saying that I am harsh on Du He? Du He, this kid, actually tried to harm me. It is really unreasonable..."
He briefly explained the story of being cheated by Du He.
Empress Changsun couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you are only 200,000 guan, so why should you take it seriously? Besides, Du He has made such great contributions this time, even awarding him 300,000 guan is not too much.
, not to mention, he also earned 50,000 yuan for His Majesty."
Li Eryi rolled his sleeves: "Guanyin Maid, this is not a question of money, this is a question of integrity. Du He is too dishonest!"
