The 20,000 taels of silver should be repaid within ten days, otherwise the girl of the Qin family would be a concubine to pay off the debt.

At first glance, when he heard about 20,000 taels of silver, Du Ruhui was also surprised, thinking that he and Gao Shilian are now both third-grade officials, and the year-round income is only more than 60 taels of silver, even the current treasury income is less than 30 million taels, and it is still the hard work of the people of a country to be able to offer.

But one of the grandchildren of the Gao family, if you lend it out, it will be 25,000 taels, and when it is recovered, it will be doubled, 25,000 taels, and it will become 50,000 taels between changing hands, and it is not too easy to make this money.

How can this matter not make Du Ruhui feel appalling? Until the morning of the second day, he still felt in a trance, and he didn't even notice that Li Shimin called him. Li Shimin is not an unsympathetic emperor, otherwise he is afraid that Du Ruhui will be punished, but after the next dynasty, Li Shimin still left Du Ruhui.

"Du Qing has something to do today?" Li Shimin asked tentatively, he knew Du Ruhui very well, this person was calm, wise and intelligent, if it wasn't a big deal, he would never let him be in a trance in the early dynasty.

"Wei Chen is thinking, how can 25,000 taels of silver become 50,000 taels of silver." Du Ruhui looked puzzled, as if he was extremely puzzled by this matter.

"Du Qing is not short of money?" Hearing that the 25,000 taels had become 50,000 taels, Li Shimin also felt whimsical, and all he could think of was Du Ruyan's lack of money.

"It's not that Weichen is short of money, but I happened to hear Chen Feng mention this matter yesterday, and I felt a little shocking."

"Oh? Is that what the gentleman said? Hearing that it was Chen Feng who said, Li Shimin instantly became interested in this matter, "I don't know what Mr. said?" "As an emperor, he is in charge of the food and clothing of 40 or 50 million people, if there is such a good way to make money, Li Shimin is naturally willing to hear about it.

"Not only that, but there is also a story of throwing 20,000 yuan in silver for the hearts of beauties."

"Tell me about it." Li Shimin was naturally not interested in these things, but if it was about Chen Feng, he was willing to hear it.

"Your Majesty is wrong, this matter is not Chen Feng's story, but the Gao family." Du Ruhui said, and emphasized it, "The grandson of Lord Gao Shilian has a son named Gao Ran, and it is his plan to double the 25,000 taels of silver when it is transferred." ”

No matter whose strategy it is, Li Shimin is only interested in this money-making technique now.

"That Gao Ran, he only needs to lend 25,000 taels of money to a wealthy merchant, and he will receive 50,000 taels of silver on the day he recovers it, and he intends that if he is willing to take his girl as a concubine, he can be exempted from the interest of 20,000 taels of silver."

Du Ruhui didn't tell the facts, but Li Shimin's face was already pale, and he was even angry at this time.

"Stand down." There was some coldness in the words. Du Ruhui retired, knowing that His Majesty's coldness was not for him, but for the art of making money.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard that the emperor had recruited a tall man into the palace.

Chen Feng didn't know anything about this, and at this time he was accompanying Du Li to see his new store. Located in Vermilion Bird Street, not far from the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, it is a square shop, the length and width are about 50 feet, converted down, there should be more than 200 square meters, the size of the location is the same as Chen Feng's meaning, even if the purchase and sale documents are signed, the silver two are paid.

Towards the evening, after the two had dinner in the drunken sky, they returned to the Du Mansion together.

It wasn't what Chen Feng wanted, but Du Li kept persuading him to ask Du Ruhui in person about the progress of the matter, but Chen Fengnai didn't want to go with him.

At this time, in the high mansion, people are also turning on their backs.

When Gao Shilian returned from the palace, he ordered someone to summon Gao Ran, but it was not until the evening that the little servant found the person back in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. Gao Shilian saw Gao Ran, who was slightly drunk and had fat powder on his body, even if the little guy intended to help him cover up, he did not escape Gao Shilian's eyes.

Thinking of the words he said when the saint summoned him to the palace today, he still feels creepy.

"Gao Aiqing, do you know how to double the 25,000 taels of silver between changing hands?"

"Do you know, which woman is worth 20,000 taels of silver as a concubine?"

Gao Shilian was a lot old, and he didn't react to the deep meaning of Li Shimin's words, "The minister is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

"Stupid? Then I bothered Gao Aiqing to go back and ask your grandchild Gao Ran, so naturally you will know as soon as you ask. ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, how could Gao Shilian not know that it must have been Gao Ran who caused trouble and was stabbed in the emperor's ear, and immediately trembling and pleading guilty.

"Gao Aiqing doesn't need to accuse me, if it weren't for Mr. Gao Aiqing's unwillingness to get over on his face, Gao Aiqing probably already knew about this matter, and there was no need for me to mention it." Li Shimin continued, "Aiqing is honest and honest, but don't let the family and nephews ruin their reputation!" ”

Mr? Hearing this title, Gao Shilian was confused for a moment, and then thought of the young man who was called a ghost by Li Shimin, and there was only one person who could be called Mr. by Li Shimin. But it turns out that even if the young man is far away from the court, his position in His Majesty's heart will not be affected in the slightest?

"Wechen understands." Even though his heart turned a thousand times, Gao Shilian still nodded.

After returning home, he ordered someone to look for this Gao Ran, but asked him to wait for most of the day before he could find the person back, and he was still like this, so how could Gao Shilian not be angry.

"Father, are you looking for me?" Gao Ranping, what he was most afraid of was the grandfather in this clan, and when he saw Gao Shilian's angry face at this time, he was drunk and most of it was gone.

"What have you been in trouble lately?" Gao Shilian suppressed his anger and asked.

"Father Mingjian, my grandson hasn't caused trouble recently." Gao Ran thought about it again and again, and made sure that he had not caused trouble, before he answered.

"Didn't cause trouble?" Hearing these four words, Gao Shilian's anger could no longer be contained, isn't that gentleman going to joke about this? Isn't it that Your Majesty will inexplicably create something out of nothing?

"Then you can explain to me, how 25,000 taels of silver changed hands and became 50,000 taels?"

"You can't do it in normal times, but you can lend it out." Gao Ran was drunk in the end, but he didn't notice the suppressed anger in Gao Shilian's words at this time, "Double the interest, and the recovery is 50,000 taels." ”

Hearing this, Gao Shilian sat directly on the chair, sure enough, Mr. did not deceive His Majesty, and sure enough, His Majesty did not make something out of nothing.

"Then, whose daughter is it that is worthy of you to promise 20,000 taels of silver and accept her as a concubine?"

"This ......" Gao Ran is just drunk, but he is not stupid, how can he not know what Gao Shilian means, "Where did the eldest father hear this nonsense?" ”
