Chapter 382 Eldest Sun Wuji was very shocked when he heard Li Lixian's words, what does it mean to ask for money for yourself? Qin Huaidao knew if he did it himself, or did he deliberately come to blackmail himself, 2,400 yuan, and he wanted his own life?

I lost 1,000 yuan to Wei Chi Jingde before, and now I have to ask for 2,400 yuan for myself, if I don't give it, who knows what Qin Huaidao will do, if I give it, isn't it true that I did it myself?

And Qin Huaidao didn't have any guarantees, so he said that if he didn't give it, he would take over the pig iron and salt, and he gave it? I gave him no guarantees.

"This, the old man can go and ask you to see who did it, and let him send the money to your house when the time comes, okay?" The eldest grandson Wuji touched his beard, stared at Li Lixian and asked.

"Yes, as long as you have the money to come back, 240 yuan, I haven't eaten for two days, and I said that if I don't get it back, I must retaliate, saying that I want to take the pig iron and salt given by His Majesty!" Li Lixian's two small dimples came out, and the little tiger teeth were also exposed, daring to cheat Qin Huaidao's money, but it was not so easy.

"Well, the old man doesn't know anything yet, the old man went to inquire, but he couldn't let Hu Guogong not eat." The eldest grandson Wuji still pretended not to know anything else,

Li Lixian stood up at this moment and said, "Okay, then I'll say goodbye and tell them that before it gets dark today, you have to send it over, otherwise, the master will be angry, and he will say that the concubine is not doing things well." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji saw that Li Lixian wanted to leave, so he also stood up and sent him off: "Okay, I'll find out." ”

"Well, then let's take my leave!" After Li Lixian finished speaking, she walked outside,

The eldest grandson Wuji sent him to the front yard, and saw Li Lixian approaching behind the screen wall, and the eldest grandson Wuji's fists were clenched, bullying people, what does this mean?

He Qin Huaidao had any evidence to prove that he did it, so he dared to send someone to his house to ask for money, and now that Yu Chi Baolin didn't find out anything, he dared to come to him, which shows how arrogant Qin Huaidao is.

"Father, what's wrong?" Eldest Sun Jian looked at Eldest Sun Wuji and asked, but he really saw that his face was a little wrong.

"It's okay, you go and greet Du Wei, Lawyer Pei and they come over, the old man has something to tell them, Qin Huaidao is this shaft!" The eldest grandson was not angry, and when he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the living room.

Soon, Lawyer Pei and the others arrived at the eldest grandson Wuji's house, and seven or eight people were sitting in the eldest grandson Wuji's study.

"He, what does he mean?" After Du Wei finished listening, he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"Threatened meaning! threatened the old man and forced the old man to pay this money, he just took out 240 yuan, and now he forces us to pay 2400 yuan.

He's good, he didn't have anything, he made more than 2,000 yuan for nothing, and we didn't do anything that threatened him, just to inquire about a news, and lost more than 2,000 yuan, this shaft! "The eldest grandson is angry, but he is too bullying, he knows that he bullies himself, can't he find someone else?

You can find Lawyer Pei, you can find Du Wei, you can find Wei Ting, why do you come to yourself, you are still his uncle? Is my uncle so easy to bully?

"This money, you still have to send it over, otherwise Qin Huaidao really takes over, then it will be troublesome." Wei Ting looked at the eldest grandson Wuji carefully and said,

He knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was angry, but this is how things should be done, Qin Huaidao said that if he didn't give it, he would make trouble? They are terrible for Qin Huaidao to make trouble, Qin Huaidao to make trouble, that requires a lot of people to fall to the ground, Qin Huaidao has done it before.

"Yes, Zhao Guogong, no matter what, should we give this money, we still have to give it, there is no way, Qin Huaidao just falsely convicted us, so he decided that we had something to do with this matter? Besides, even if it doesn't matter, we don't dare not give us this money if he asks us for this money. Cui Renshi also said with a depressed face, Qin Huaidao just ate them.

"Give, give, give, give!" Eldest Sun Wuji waved his hand irritably and said, I don't want to dwell on this issue, since Qin Huaidao wants to slander them, they have no better way.

"So what's next? Has Your Majesty dismissed this thought? Du Wei stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"I don't know yet, there's no news, but I hope so." The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, now he doesn't know what to do for a while?

However, the eldest grandson Wuji also analyzed it just now, and estimated that he gave Qin Huaidao 2,400 yuan, how can he manage it for a while, right? It can't be said that Qin Huaidao has just finished collecting the money here, and he will go to His Majesty tomorrow to ask for steel and salt, and the eldest grandson Wuji thinks that this possibility is too low.

And in the palace, on the side of the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin also knew that Li Lixian went to the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion, and then the eldest grandson Wuji summoned those people, and he also knew. At this time, Wang En came in, looked at Li Shimin and whispered: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down!" ”

"Well, let him in!" Li Shimin nodded, put away the recital, and then sat down on the tea set with his hands behind his back and began to make tea.

"Erchen has seen his father." After Li Chengqian came in, he said to Li Shimin.

"Well, sit down and say! Over at the university, did you go? Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and asked.

"Back to my father, I went the day before yesterday, and I plan to go in the afternoon today, there are still many things in various departments, and there is also news from the border gate, hoping to replenish the supplies as soon as possible, but the weapons, including the arrows, are not ready, and the Ministry of War is also urging the Ministry of Civil Affairs to hand over enough pig iron as soon as possible.

However, according to the plan, they have already paid it this month, but the amount of pig iron is too large and far from enough. Li Chengqian sat down and reported to Li Shimin.

"How much is missing?" Li Shimin nodded and asked.

"There is still a shortage of 200,000 catties! In terms of salt, there is still a shortage of 100 quintals! Li Chengqian said.

"Lack of salt?" Li Shimin heard it, looked at Li Chengqian in shock and asked.

"Lack, father, in recent years, salt has hardly increased, from the first year of Zhenguan to this year, salt has increased by 200 quintals, but over the years, my Tang Dynasty has fought less foreign wars, and the internal strife is not big, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the population has grown rapidly.

According to the preliminary statistics of Erchen, from the first year of Zhenguan to the entire fifteenth year, the population of Chang'an City increased by 120,000, and the population of several state capitals around Chang'an City also increased by about 400,000.

These people also need salt, so if it weren't for the price of salt set by the court, the price of salt would have increased significantly.

Moreover, Erchen also heard that there are many salt sellers in various places, and the price of the salt they sell is 30% higher than the official price, and the people still have to buy it from them, or they will not be able to buy it. But the salt of those salt dealers, we don't know where it came from, and the ministers asked them to check, and the salt is exactly the same as the official salt. Li Chengqian sat there, watched Li Shimin report and said, and stared at Li Shimin carefully after speaking, he knew that Li Shimin would definitely be angry.

"Presumptuous, bastard!" Li Shimin put the teacup on the tea table and stood up angrily, the people have no salt, so what can they pay back? There is not enough pig iron, and even the amount of the army cannot be guaranteed? What happens when there is a war on the border?

"Father, the matter has reached the point where it is indispensable, Erchen recently investigated and found that the water in this is not ordinary deep, Peping may really know, so he does not dare to take over, the interests involved in this may be hundreds of thousands." Li Chengqian also stood up at this moment, looked at Li Shimin and said,

Li Shimin closed his eyes, very painful, and then looked up to the sky and sighed and said: "I work hard, I work hard, I hope to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that the residents have their houses, and the people of the world are not hungry.

Now, there is a problem with salt, which is a necessity for the people to live, and they can do it? And that pig iron, which is used to defend the border, and they dare to hide their secrets? ”

When Li Shimin said this, his expression was very angry, and even the green tendons on his forehead were exposed.

"What a guts, I don't know if I don't check, I don't check, I think this world is under my governance, it is clear, although there is corruption, but not much, but the last time the Ministry of Industry corruption case, shocking,

This time there was another problem with salt and pig iron, did their family think that the people in the whole world were ants, and they would give them a bite to eat if they wanted, and if they didn't want to, they would command them to die? Li Shimin shouted loudly, mainly because he heard that the people couldn't buy salt.

If there is no salt, or rather, the price of salt will rise to an outrageous price, then the people will be chaotic, and those families want to cut off his Li Tang's country.

"Father, don't get excited, don't get excited, come, father, sit, don't get excited, there is a way, there must be a way!" Li Chengqian was a little incomprehensible when he saw Li Shimin so excited, but he still comforted Li Shimin.

"I thought that under my governance, the people of the world were recognized, but now the people below don't know how to scold me? Surely scolding me for being a faint king! Li Shimin was still a little excited,

reputation, Li Shimin is very fancy, what happened back then, so that he has the ultimate pursuit of fame.

Now when I hear Li Chengqian say that the people can't buy salt, they buy it from the black market, and the price is 30% more, so don't you scold people angrily?

"Father, calm down, there is a way to solve it, the son goes to Peping, he must have a way!" Li Chengqian comforted Li Shimin and said, he believed that Qin Huaidao must have a way,

And Li Shimin waved his hand, which surprised Li Chengqian on the side.
