Chapter 221: Shocked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually beaten!
The best way to end a friendship is to borrow money from him.
After Yu Zhiqian crossed over, it seems that he has not met anyone else to borrow money from him, everyone knows that the poorest person in the Yu Tang Empire is His Royal Highness the Prince, but today Lao Qi actually came over to borrow money from him.
"What are you borrowing money for? Falling in love? β
"No, big brother, it costs money to research the steam engine, the money you gave me last time has been used up, and I can't open the pot in my own house......"
Yu Zhiqian looked at Lao Qi and looked at it carefully, Lao Qi doesn't seem to be a fool, his brothers are a little stupid except for the second child, and the third child is a little silly, he is the most shrewd of Lao Qi, how can this thing become stupid now? Could it be that he has been with Zhou Yu for a long time and has no brains?
"Big brother, why don't you speak!"
"Old Seven, did I tell you that the cost of researching the steam engine can come from the treasury!"
"Huh?"
Lao Qi was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully: "It seems that the eldest brother has said it, but why should it come out of the treasury!" β
"Push the cart and follow me!"
Yu Zhiqian and Lao Qi pushed their bicycles together and slowly walked towards the outside of the palace: "Lao Qi, what is the purpose of your research?" β
"To develop a steam engine, of course!"
ββ¦β¦β
Yu Zhiqian found that Lao Qi, who began to engage in scientific research, became naΓ―ve, and his brain circuits began to become strange, no wonder those scientists, philosophers, thinkers, and so on all had some quirks.
"Forget it, I'll write you an excerpt later, it just so happens that there is money in the treasury, hurry up and ask for money, otherwise it will be difficult to ask for it when my father starts spending money!"
An important reason why Yu Zhiqian rushed back in such a hurry was that he went back to write the excerpt and asked for money, the Whampoa Military Academy needed money, the Tsinghua Garden needed money, and the Kalittown College still needed money.
On the other hand, after the emperor retired from the court, he always felt that he had forgotten something, squinted his eyes and thought about it, as if he had forgotten to punish the prince.
"Forget it, don't rush this day, let's talk about it in a few days!"
The emperor has a lot of things to do, so he decided to back down on this matter for the time being, and punish the crown prince This kind of thing can be done at any time, there is no need to rush for a while, as long as Yu Zhiqian doesn't dangle in front of his eyes recently.
Today's affairs out of the Dongying Kingdom made the emperor unhappy, now the emperor's mood is good, the treasury is full, the emperor is ready to build a new palace, this Daming Palace is a little too dilapidated, the renovation is not worth it, and the emperor does not like the location of the Daming Palace very much, the emperor has always wanted to build a palace over there, but the treasury has been tight before, there is no chance, and now he can finally let go.
Yu Zhiqian didn't know that the emperor didn't want to appear in front of him, so he kept giving various explanations to Lao Qi along the way, and finally explained to Lao Qi clearly why scientific research should go to the treasury, rather than the cause and effect of paying for it himself.
After eating lunch, he pulled the seventh child and began to write the recital, although Yu Zhiqian didn't know the roundworm in the emperor's stomach, but Yu Zhiqian still understood a truth, if he wanted to get money from his cheap father, then the premise was that he had to have money, otherwise, he would not approve it.
This is the experience that Yu Zhiqian summed up when he played mahjong with his cheap father, if the emperor didn't bring money at the beginning, he would have all kinds of debts, but when he won a little money or had money on his body, he would be very generous, so Yu Zhiqian had to hurry up with the time, otherwise when such a large sum of money was spent, there would be no place to cry when the time came.
This money seems to be a lot, but for a big empire, no amount of money is not money, and now the entire Yutang Empire is under construction, first of all, it costs money to build cement roads, and it is also a large amount of money, as well as military expenses, research warships, training the navy, etc., these are all places to spend money, this money is enough to start these projects at most, and there will be a huge amount of money invested in the follow-up, if you don't hurry up, you may not even be able to drink soup.
"Big brother, don't be in such a hurry, I haven't figured out how much it will cost yet!"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"One hundred thousand taels?"
Lao Qi grew his mouth, and opened his mouth through the exchange: "This is too much!" β
"Many? You're studying the steam engine, and if you do, how much impact will it have on the country? And you may spend less money on your own research, but the research is also slow, and when you have money, you find more people to conduct research together, and the research speed will be accelerated......"
After Yu Zhiqian explained a large wave of various causal relationships to Lao Qi, Lao Qi wrote the chapter in a daze, and asked the emperor for 100,000 taels of silver.
Yu Zhiqian looked at Lao Qi, and couldn't help but shake his head, he was still too young, look at how much he directly asked for 300,000 taels of silver? A lot, so what? It's a big deal to reduce the price yourself, 200,000 taels, 100,000 taels, and 50,000 taels!
After lunch, Yu Zhiqian hurriedly entered the palace with Lao Qi, and now Yu Zhiqian has forgotten about emptying his father's palace, money is the most important thing, and only with money can he engage in invention and creation, Yu Zhiqian also dreams of brushing up on the circle of friends in his lifetime.
I used to hear that those rich people's circle of friends are all kinds of high, and now he is the prince, if he can make this thing on WeChat and Weibo, he will pretend to be forced every day, make friends, and never care whether others have the right Anyway, I don't have the right, well, it is very in line with Yu Zhiqian's nouveau riche face.
Wu Sangui watched Yu Zhiqian enter the palace, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't help but didn't speak, Yu Zhiqian looked at Wu Sangui with some curiosity: "Father-in-law Wu, do you have flowers on your face in this palace?" β
Wu Sangui shook his head: "Your Highness, in fact, today's old slave thinks that it is better to forget it, Your Majesty is inside!" β
Originally, Wu Sangui wanted to remind Yu Zhiqian that it was not appropriate to meet the emperor today, but in the end he still didn't say anything, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of their father and son, and just serve the emperor in peace.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is here!"
Outside the Ganlu Hall that had just been redecorated, Wu Sangui whispered, at this time Yu Zhiqian also felt bad, how did he come to the Ganlu Palace, it seems that this morning, his cheap father knew that he had done a good thing, and now Yu Zhiqian suddenly retreated, asking for money or something, and he was not in a hurry, and it was not impossible to ask for it again in the future.
"Get in!"
Before Yu Zhiqian could desert and slip away, he remembered the emperor's roar outside the door, and after Yu Zhiqian heard it, he could only walk in hard, and sighed in his heart, fortunately, he brought the seventh child, and the emperor would not teach him a lesson in front of the seventh child, he was the prince, and he still had to give some face.
Yu Zhiqian cautiously pushed the door and walked in, with a harmless smile on his face as much as possible, and slowly walked into the Manna Palace, as much as possible not to anger his father, lest his father remember any bad memories.
"Old Seven, hurry up!" Yu Zhiqian secretly pushed Lao Qi forward, preparing to let Lao Qi share the firepower for himself.
"Erchen, I've seen my father!"
The emperor sat in front of a brand-new pear blossom wood table, looking at Yu Zhiqian with a smile, Yu Zhiqian only felt a chill on his back, but Lao Qi looked at the Ganlu Hall with some curiosity: "Father, has the Ganlu Hall been redecorated?" What about Wu Daozi's paintings? β
Which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, Yu Zhiqian suddenly regretted taking Lao Qi over, this guy is simply a pig teammate, and he is the kind of person who doesn't know when he is a pig teammate, with a harmless face, people who know know that he is unintentional, and those who don't know think that this thing is intentional.
"Well, I just retouched it, and I want to thank your eldest brother, Seventh, you go out first and wait outside!" The Emperor waved his hand.
Lao Qi didn't know what was going on, but he felt that the current atmosphere was a little weird, and he couldn't continue to stay here, he glanced at Yu Zhiqian a little innocently, then looked at the emperor, and saluted: "Erchen retires!" β
After finishing speaking, he also threw a look to Yu Zhiqian, signaling himself to wait outside, Yu Zhiqian looked at the cheap dad who was staring at him, and suddenly believed in the yellow calendar, today the yellow calendar is very clear, it is not suitable to travel, why don't you believe in evil, why do you have to go out, accompany your wife and concubine at home, play guns, practice calligraphy, and train students?
"Father!"
After Lao Qi walked out of the Ganlu Palace, Yu Zhiqian tried his best to look at his father with a smile, and when he could beat himself, he must be lighter, and he was less struggling.
"Boss, what do you think of the decoration of this manna hall?"
As the emperor spoke, he took out a wicker from nowhere, and it was the kind of wicker that was bundled together, he must have been prepared!
"Ahem, ahem, father, the sons feel that there are still some flaws in the decoration of this manna hall!"
After speaking, Yu Zhiqian saw the wicker pumping towards him, and Yu Zhiqian instantly hid to the side: "Father, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, you are the emperor, you want to set an example for the world!" β
"Then boss, what do you think is the flaw in this manna hall?"
The emperor did not answer Yu Zhiqian's words, but continued to post, and at the same time, the willow whip was drawn again, and Yu Zhiqian jumped up again, but this time it was a little late, and the whip was whipped to the calf of his left leg.
"Pain, pain, father, hit me, it hurts you!" Yu Zhiqian suddenly regretted that he didn't let Lao Qi call his mother......
"Boss, tell me where there are flaws in this Ganlu Temple!"
After the emperor finished speaking, it was another whip, this willow whip emperor had already been prepared, Yu Zhiqian was ready after cooking the emperor's beloved black swan, but it was not used at the time, but today the emperor couldn't help it, this guy is completely the king of the tiger monkey in the mountains, let him supervise the country, this goods actually emptied his study and a few places and things! It's so annoying, I feel sorry for myself if I don't beat the emperor.
"Father, Erchen thought of it, lack of calligraphy and painting, lack of Wu Daozi's words, my father's favorite Wu Daozi's words, Erchen will go back to his father to bring Wu Daozi's calligraphy and paintings!"
Yu Zhiqian instantly understood that his father was looking for something for him.
"In this way, how did my Wu Daozi calligraphy and painting get to the boss, your East Palace!"
The emperor smacked a few times but hit Yu Zhiqian twice, Yu Zhiqian screamed for a while and then the emperor stopped, he was also afraid that Yu Zhiqian would be broken, after all, he was the prince of a country, if he was broken, it would not be good, the emperor whipped these whips mainly to get angry, please count some father-son grievances with the prince.
The seventh brother who was waiting outside heard the screams of his eldest brother in the Ganlu Palace, and couldn't help but shiver, the eldest brother was beaten? Because of what? Because did you ask your father for money? Lao Qi looked at the piece in his hand, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with using his own money to study the steam engine.
I have a fiefdom, and there are some precious calligraphy and paintings in the house, and I can exchange a lot of money for dealing with it, plus my mother's concubine will help me, and I will go to my other brothers to fight the autumn breeze, and it should be enough to save a little.
Lao Qi has already made a rough decision in his heart, and he will never mention the matter of asking for money when he comes to himself, it is too terrible, and if he asks for money, he will be beaten......
Wu Sangui didn't know that Lao Qi's brain circuit was actually like this, listening to the prince's screams, he suddenly felt a little comfortable, yes, very comfortable, I don't know why, but I always felt very comfortable, anyway, every time the prince called his name, it would always be weird, Wu Sangui sometimes wondered if his name was telling......
"Stand still, don't hide!"
The emperor in the hall looked at Yu Zhiqian, who was holding the pillar and preparing to climb up, and yelled, Yu Zhiqian slowly stood beside him, looking at his cheap father: "Father, the father beats his son, there is no hiding that is not allowed!" β
"Really?" The emperor glanced at Yu Zhiqian, threw the willow weaving aside casually, and then pretended to think for a while: "I remember that there are not only Wu Daozi's paintings in the Ganlu Palace, but also many famous works, and there are three or four pairs of characters in Yan's family!" β
"Four pairs, my father has a total of four pairs of words!"
Yu Zhiqian said with a smile on his face, there is a fart face, except for Wu Daozi's words, the rest of Yu Zhiqian have seen it, and he has never seen a surname Yan, but when he thought that he asked his mother to take out Wang Xizhi's words from the inner library, Yu Zhiqian was not distressed, he still earned it after all, and this is a treasure for the goose post and Lan Tingxu!
"Oh, by the way, there are also the words of several ministers of the previous dynasty, I want to think about who is coming!"
After the emperor thought for a while, he slowly said some names, Yu Zhiqian swore that this was blackmail, naked blackmail, and he didn't take these words at all!
