Tang Jian arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, can An speak above the court?" I can't help but take this seriously, I'm afraid that at this time, Shiro has already sent 12,000 guan to the Ministry of Civil Affairs (the Ministry of Household was called the Ministry of Civil Affairs before Li Er's death)! ”

"Shhh

The emperor took a deep breath of cold air, Tang Jian was so cruel to himself!

That's 12,000 guan, one-tenth of Donald Si's income the night before!

The ministers in the main hall looked at the emperor's gaffe, listened to Tang Jian's words, and vaguely had an answer in their hearts, but they couldn't do it now.

I saw an official step forward and arch his hand: "Your Majesty, can you read the list of compromises to everyone, and let everyone have a discussion!" ”

Hearing this, the emperor also recovered from the shock, nodded, and handed the fold to the old eunuch.

So, the old eunuch's sharp voice sounded: "The list of luxury goods listed by Chen Tang Jian is as follows: glass products (transparent glass), spirits and burning spring, perfumes, fine jade, ambergris, coral ......"

When the first three nouns appeared, the civil and military officials in the hall were all shocked, and they felt like the emperor that Tang Jian and Tang Laosi were really ruthless to themselves! One percent of the profit says don't want it!

Could it be that Tang Jian and the emperor agreed in advance?

No!

Xu Jingzong wanted to stand up and say: No, the emperor obviously made an appointment with a certain one! Tang Jian's beard is cut off!

！！！

A court meeting was successfully dragged from midday to noon by Tang Jian's list!

There are nearly 200 luxury items listed in the fold!

Therefore, when the next dynasty was made, several officials scolded in their hearts with constipation: Tang Jian, Tang Laosi, R You two masters' immortals! Especially Tang Jian, you kid put the glass objects in the forefront, and asked Tang Laosi to pay taxes immediately, and the business of a certain person written in the back dared to come out to oppose it?

Although Mr. Xu did not have any luxury goods at home, he was also speechless.

The emperor's arrangement was unexpectedly cut off by Tang Jian! Opportunity for meritorious service, isn't this a boiled duck flyball?

Of course, the emperor's two arrangements, Xu Jingzong's matter was cut off, but the other thing was passed out.

So, in the afternoon of the same day, the knocker of Qinghe Cui's Chang'an Courtyard was knocked.

The door opened the door and glanced at the visitor, and immediately led the person into the main hall.

After a short time, the head of the Cui family entered the main hall.

The two sides saluted and took their seats.

The head of the Cui clan was a little puzzled and asked, "What kind of wind blew Brother Wei Xian here?" ”

Yes, the person who came was the head of the Jingzhao Wei family, the brother of Concubine Wei of the Tang Dynasty!

The head of the Wei family said lightly: "I came to deal with the common enemy with Brother Cui!" ”

"A common enemy?"

The head of the Cui family asked with a blank face: "Brother Wei Xian, what do you mean by this?" ”

The Cui family has been based in the Central Plains for thousands of years, and it has established enemies, but that is not the present, but the old history.

The head of the Wei family shook his head and said: "Brother Shi, Ming people don't say secret words, Tang Laosi and you have already known about the matter of tearing your face yesterday!" Not only does a certain person know, but I am afraid that this person with a head and face in Chang'an knows. Brother Cui swallowed that breath, Cui Shi swallowed this breath? ”

Cui's brows furrowed slightly after hearing this, this is known all over the city?

Donald Si's handiwork?

Not really! Yesterday, it was just a collapse of the talk, and it was not enough to completely tear the skin, and there was no reason for the Tang River to make a fuss all over the city, right?

Then, there is only one truth, the flying tiger spy in the Cui family's courtyard reported to the emperor, and then the emperor added fuel to the fire behind his back!

The Flying Tiger Army has spies in the major families in Chang'an, and everyone knows about it, but they also let it go.

Therefore, the Cui family is not stupid, and quickly thought of the crux of the problem.

Just, how to deal with it now?

Revenge on the Emperor? This path is not feasible!

Eat this dark loss? It seems like a shame!

Revenge on Donald Fourth? This method can be used properly and can save face. It's just that if you do this, isn't it equivalent to being led by the emperor by the nose once?

I am unwilling!

The face of the head of the Cui family is constantly changing, and he can't pay attention to it for a while!

The head of the Wei family looked at the face of the world brother in front of him, where did he not know that the other party was hesitating?

Frank and honest: "Brother Cui, you should have heard of the enmity between the younger brother and the Tang River. Therefore, the little brother is here for only one purpose, simply to take revenge. The younger brother has also thought about it, and it depends on how Brother Cui chooses. ”

The matter between the Wei family and Tang Laosi, the Cui family naturally knew that if it weren't for Tang Laosi's repeated persecution of the emperor in front of the ruins of Laitingfang that day, maybe Wei would not have betrayed his dereliction of duty and beheaded, and it was a big deal to be exiled or demoted to a commoner.

And the choice mentioned by the head of the Wei family is what the head of the Cui family can't pay attention to.

After a long time, the head of the Cui family spoke: "Brother Xian, you might as well talk about your method and consider it for your brother!" ”

"Good!"

The head of the Wei family nodded and said, "The contradiction between your mansion and the Tang River is on the ninety thousand guan. Tang River took chicken feathers as an arrow, and he hated your mansion, and your mansion can only pay the money at a loss now!

In this case, if you want to reverse this loss, you can only make a fuss about money! ”

Cui's can't afford to lose the names that Tang Heshang once said, and now, the money is bound to be paid.

The head of the Cui family nodded and asked, "That's true, and ask the virtuous brother to make a fuss about money?" ”

"Humph!"

The head of the Wei family snorted coldly and said, "Don't you want money on the Tang River!" Let's give generously, not only to give, but also to make a big show! However, let's only give copper coins! Didn't he ask your government to pay and deliver within ten days, we can also restrict him to only count and get out of the way in one day! He can do the first year of junior high school, why can't we do the fifteenth! ”

After hearing this, the head of the Cui family raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: This plan is good!

Although, slightly、Some of the next work! It's a good way to lose Donald's face!

You must know that there are 90,000 copper coins, but there are nearly 300,000 catties! It's a hill!

In one day, don't say count, it will cost a lot of manpower just to transport it away!

Therefore, Tang Laosi could only choose not to do an inventory, and rolled back to Da'anfang with the copper coins!

In this way, the Tang River will definitely lose face!

Looking at the look of the head of the Cui family, the head of the Wei family already knew that the general trend had been decided, and continued to open his mouth and said: "Our family is in the same spirit, so this time, a special 10,000 yuan of money has been prepared, and it will be sent over in the next two days, and I ask the world brother not to dislike it!" ”

How can someone send money to the door to give advice, how can such a thing be disliked?

The head of the Cui family thanked him: "Virtuous brother Gaoyi, Qinghe Cui family is grateful!" When this matter is over, I will definitely think of some ways for my brother to see if there is room for maneuver in Ling Lang's affairs. ”

"Thank you, brother, little brother farewell!"

The head of the Wei family got up to resign, and the head of the Cui family was sent all the way outside the mansion.

-----------

Nine days passed in a flash.

In the past nine days, a lot of things have happened in Chang'an, such as the relocation of Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju Guo, to the post of secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the general person in charge of tax reform, and the relocation of Dai Guan, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, the two most common and unusual things are that there are still sand, black ash and blue bricks arriving in Laitingfang; On Suzaku Street, Cui's Mansion also continued to have people picking up unknown objects and entering the mansion one after another.

In the past nine days, Tang Laosi and Wang Xuance squatted in the fifth workshop outside the city, and there was still glass constantly produced, but it was not turned into beautiful products, but all of them became glass pieces half a finger thick.

May 13, Hugh Mu, this day is also the last day for Tang Laosi and Cui's to agree on payment and delivery.

Tang Laosi and Wang Xuance, who returned to the city the day before, received a letter from Cui's early morning: The money is ready! Come and deliver!

At the same time, the emperor and several ministers received an invitation from the Cui family to witness it!

Because he was worried that there would be a moth, Tang Laosi decided to go to Cui's Mansion with Wang Xuance, and also brought more than a dozen workers from Da'anfang.

Arrived at Cui's Courtyard, waited for a polite greeting from both sides, and waited for Tang Laosi to bow to the witnesses invited by Cui's again.

The head of the Cui family said lightly: "The money is in the treasury, where is the glass mirror?" ”

Wang Xuance immediately opened the box containing the mirror, and then gave it to Cui Shi for verification.

Naturally, there was no problem with the mirror, and after a while, the head of the Cui family took Donald Laosi and a group of witnesses to the warehouse.

After a "creak", the door to the storeroom opened.

The scene inside made Tang Laosi, Wang Xuance and the witnesses a little stunned.

There were no gold and silver wooden boxes stacked inside, only yellow, orange and orange copper coins from the semi-treasury!

The head of the Cui family pointed to the copper coins in the treasury and said, "The money is in this, the old man will give you a day to count and carry it!" Boy, let's do it! ”

Whole?!

How?!

Looking at the copper yellow of the half of the warehouse in the warehouse, Wang Xuance felt that he wanted to cry without tears.

Ninety thousand copper coins is ninety million!

It's all scattered! None of them are complete! How to count, count?

It must be said here that the original proposal of the head of the Wei family was just to pile up the money one by one! It was the head of the Cui family who expanded himself and cut off all the money ropes! The purpose is to increase the difficulty for Donald Si, and to make Donald Si lose face even more!

Swallowing his saliva, Wang Xuance looked at his owner with blank eyes, as if to say: Boss, what should I do?

Don't say that Wang Xuance is the emperor and minister who are witnesses on the side, which one is not dumbfounded?

Various dialect versions of scolding mothers flashed through my head!

What's going on? How many days do you have to count such a delivery?

Well, no, the Cui family said that they would only give one day to count and move!

That's enough for a hammer in a day! Regardless of how many people can be held in the treasury, let five hundred people count, count two in one breath, and count fourteen thousand four hundred in one hour! That's twelve and a half hours! This time does not include the time to tie the rope.

All the witnesses present did not want to ask Qinghe Cui's question: Are you serious?

Seriously, of course!

The head of the Cui family said coldly: "Why, Tang Xian's nephew has never seen so much money?" The old man suggested that you don't be stunned, and quickly shake someone to count the money! By the way, the old man's money is full copper, and it is recommended that you use a scale, which should be much faster than the number! ”

The suggestion of the head of the Cui family is very reasonable, the scale must be faster than the number!

However, 90,000 guan, this is 270,000 catties of copper! According to the weight, that is 170,820 kilograms (about 660 grams per catty in the Tang Dynasty)!

Uncle, that's nearly 180 tons!

In the era of backward transportation in Datang, how many people will be transported for 180 tons?

Let's not be too far from Da'anfang to Cui's villa, so we will calculate according to the two-mile road, and it will take a quarter of an hour to go back and forth with a pick! How long does it take to pick 180 tons in one day and one night?

The emperor and the ministers are counting with their fingers!

Sorry, it's not that you can't figure it out, but that you are still calculating how many people are needed for the number and how many people are needed for the scale!!

Tang Laosi frowned, and quickly got the answer, if calculated according to Tang Jin, after picking this one hundred and eighty tons, he needs to find twenty-nine people to pick one day and one night! But man is not a machine, it is impossible to work endlessly, plus night blindness! At least a hundred people are needed!

I'm R you fairy board!

Donald Si, who calculated these data, scolded in his heart!

It's not that he didn't expect the Cui family to produce a moth, but he didn't expect that the moth would actually be the Emperor Ju'e!

"Whew!"

With a long exhalation, Tang Heshang frowned and turned his head to stare at the head of the Cui family and said, "Are you sure you want to do this?" ”

The head of the Cui family smiled coldly, and whispered next to Tang Laosi's ear: "Young man, no one can trample on the face of the Cui clan in Qinghe!" When you said that day, it was doomed that there was nothing to talk about!

Today, no matter how you give in, no matter how others plead for you, this must be the case! The old man can give you another piece of advice, find someone to carry this pile of money and get out! Cui dares to guarantee that a penny will not be bad! But if you do this, this face will definitely be gone!

By the way, I have to remind you that when the unitary time comes, the warehouse door will be closed! Hurry up and get lucky, don't say that Cui didn't give you enough money! ”

The words of the head of the Cui family have just been finished.

Another person also walked over and whispered to Tang Laosi: "It is said that Tang Jian gave birth to a unicorn, I'm afraid that today, the name of your unicorn will ring all over Chang'an!" I want to tell you, this plan was conceived by Wei, young man, our beam is not finished, we'll see later! ”

Tang Laosi glanced at the Wei family master lightly, and his disdainful expression seemed to say two words again: idiot!

The head of the Wei family looked at Tang Shilang's expression, and almost jumped up, and just wanted to scold: What are you pretending! Today you have lost face, you are an idiot!

Before the head of the Wei family could scold, someone from the witness group came over, it was Fang Qiao!

I saw him pat Donald Laosi on the shoulder and said: "Shiro, let's find someone to luck, we have eaten this secret loss today, and the days to come will be long, and there is a chance to avenge with one arrow!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin, who was full of iron, cursed Cui's 'shameless', and also came over to persuade him.

Tang Laosi shook his head and said to Fang Qiao and Cheng Jin: "Uncle Fang, Uncle Cheng, I don't like to hold grudges on the river, so if I have a grudge, I like to report it on the same day!" For the things in front of him, for people like the head of the Cui family, there is a way to clean him up! The two of you will wait for a while to see how the little nephew will let him steal the chicken and not become a counter-erosion! ”
