Chapter 111 115: Treasury Bills

"Come on, feed the boy to eat cakes, oh no, it's to feed Xiao Ningzi to eat eggs!" Li Chengqian said.

Several people gathered around, sighing in their hearts, and they didn't dare to slow down their hands.

If the movements of his hands are slow, who knows if Li Chengqian will have any more strange tricks.

Xiao Ningzi was grabbed by two people and couldn't move, and a peeled tea egg was delivered to his mouth.

There was no way, Xiao Ningzi had to take a bite of the tea egg and start chewing.

???

The fragrance of tea leaves, the faint aroma of rouge gouache, the sweetness of egg whites, and the richness of egg yolks......

This boiled tea egg in the bath is quite delicious, Xiao Ningzi feels.

did not receive Xiao Ningzi's negative sentiment value, and Li Chengqian was greatly dissatisfied.

"Everyone has a share, give me food!"

Everyone only had one egg per person, and after eating, their eyes lit up.

This boiled egg in the bath doesn't seem to be unpalatable, but it has a different taste.

It's the bath water of the Oiran!

Li Chengqian, who felt that something was wrong, was very suspicious.

Logically speaking, such a beautiful creature as Oiran is actually a human being.

If you are a human being, you will eat and drink, you will sweat, and you will have some taste, which should not be.

"Go and call Lu Zihou to me, he is an elder of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, he shouldn't have made any fakes for me."

It didn't take long for Lu Zihou to find it.

"Why does this boiled tea egg in the bath only have a sweet smell and no other filthy smell?" Li Chengqian asked.

Lu Zihou said: "Your Highness, this is a trade secret. ”

"Idle people and others will step back first, and we will discuss trade secrets."

Everyone stand back.

Lu Zihou said: "The bath water is fake, it is mixed with rouge gouache and clean water, Zhao Yinger feels that it is too embarrassing to use her bath water." ”

Li Chengqian suddenly became interested: "Oh? Aren't you an elder of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce? Why did you take the lead in counterfeiting? Moreover, it is so reasonable. ”

"Sometimes, counterfeiting is also for everyone's sake, if it is really bath water, I am afraid that something will go wrong."

"Forget it, I don't care about this, I want to collect money from each family, do you think I can receive it?" Li Chengqian asked.

"How do I collect money?"

Li Chengqian laughed: "Naturally, it is a clever name under the guise of building sewers. ”

Lu Zihou frowned: "So, does Your Highness really want to build a sewer?" ”

"If the money is enough, I will naturally build it, and if the money is not enough, then I will spend it myself, after all, I have to live."

Lu Zihou was speechless for a moment, who is like Li Chengqian, who will repair a yacht in two days, build a five-story building in two days, and spend thousands of dollars for the sake of the Oiran.

Even if he is given a mountain of gold, he will have to be emptied!

Lu Zihou decided to advise.

"Your Highness, the construction of the sewer is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and our Chamber of Commerce will definitely vigorously publicize it, but I have to get the guarantee of His Highness, and it must be built."

Li Chengqian was immediately overjoyed, and promised that this thing was just a sentence, even if he said it, he could regret it.

He made a decision immediately, and justice rose in an instant.

"My greatest wish is that the people can be fed and clothed, have safe water to drink, and have safe food to eat.

Lu Zihou gave a deep salute: "On behalf of the people, I have thanked His Highness in advance, and I will gather the people of the Chamber of Commerce to publicize the construction of sewers."

His Highness only needs to ask for a decree in front of the saint at that time, and guarantee that he will receive the money. ”

Lu Zihou left, and Li Chengqian immediately drafted a recital and asked people to send it to Li Er.

After reading it, Li Er touched his chin and thought for a while: "Quasi-play, let the household department cooperate to do this." ”

The content of the song is naturally about collecting money from all the residents to build sewers.

This thing seems simple, but in fact, it is very difficult to achieve, such as collecting money.

In fact, the money for the construction of sewers should not be collected, but should be taxed to build them.

However, the money in the treasury is actually insufficient, and if you wait for taxes, I am afraid that it will take several years to save up.

After thinking about it, Li Er changed his words: "In this matter, let Gao Ming do it in his own name and as a civil society." ”

I have to say that admitting that the court has no money is a very faceless thing, and Li Er finally decided to die to save face.

As for whether Li Chengqian can receive the money, it is not something he considers.

Wang De asked: "Even if this is the case, does the household department still need to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"In this matter, the six departments are not allowed to interfere in the face, but in private, they must open the door to Gao Ming."

"Yes."

Wang De's mood was a little complicated, although he hallucinated Li Chengqian scolding him before, which made his good impression of Li Chengqian almost disappear.

But he felt that the saint's approach this time was indeed too disregarded for family affection, and it was his own son.

My son wants to do something, but he doesn't dare to support him openly when he becomes a father, I'm afraid no one will believe it!

East Palace.

Wang Dedao: "Preach the sage's oracle! Gao Ming, I will leave this matter to you, but you are not allowed to say that the matter of collecting money was instructed by me, and you are not allowed to use people from the government. ”

Li Chengqian jumped up suddenly.

"I'm quitting! Why should I be left alone to do this? Without the help of the household department, I couldn't even calculate how much money each household charged! ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, the sage has another sentence, he said that the six departments can secretly cooperate with you." Wang Dedao.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, he couldn't understand what Li Er meant, was this taking off his pants and farting?

Help him, help him, what the hell is it to help him secretly?

Li Chengqian said: "Wang De, you are a roundworm in his stomach, do you know why he is doing this?" ”

"Negative Sentiment from Wang De, +123"

Li Chengqian's words should not be malicious, but he always felt uncomfortable listening to them......

"We don't dare to speculate on the meaning of the saint, but His Highness only needs to do things with peace of mind." Wang Dedao.

Li Chengqian began to play tricks: "If you don't say it, I won't do it, and when I ask, I'll say that you didn't explain it to me." ”

Wang De: "??? ”

The special dignified prince's ability to play tricks will come when he opens his mouth!

Wang De had no choice but to say: "Then I will dare to guess a few words, in the past few years, there have been disasters one after another, such as the locust plague the year before last, the flood last year, and the drought this year."

The money in the treasury has long been less abundant, and the construction of sewers should have used the money of the treasury.

His Majesty is also very embarrassed, and he doesn't want outsiders to know about the emptiness of the treasury, so he will make this decision. ”

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes: "He said it himself, obviously there are still five million yuan, isn't it just enough to take it out?" ”

Wang De sighed: "Your Highness, this money is not taken out casually, if the treasury is really empty, what should I do if I encounter a big event?"

It's not like borrowing money from every house, it's too shameless. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, his eyes rolled and he had an idea.

"We can borrow money from the people of Chang'an City, it's not a shame, it's a big deal to give everyone interest." Li Chengqian said.

Wang De was suddenly shocked, how to do such a shameless thing?

Under Wang De's stunned eyes, Li Chengqian gave up all his thoughts on treasury bills.

"The foundation of treasury bills lies in the trust of the people in us, and they believe that if they buy treasury bills, they will never lose money.

I believe that our Datang is thriving, so that we can easily raise a large amount of money with a small amount of interest.

This money is used on the blade, and after three or five years, it will be returned to the people with interest, and everyone will not only not feel bad, but also feel that it will make a lot of money. ”

Wang De: "It seems to work, I will tell the sage about this matter and let him think about it carefully." ”

Wang De left.

After Li Er knew about this treasury bill, he was instantly moved, what he needed was time, and the annual tax payment would increase significantly.

However, he could not stand the situation that he would have to use money now, and Li Chengqian's method was to advance money in the future.

And what is paid is only a very small part of the interest, which is completely unconcerned.

He immediately asked the six ministries of the three provinces to gather personnel to study the matter and make and release the first batch of treasury bills as soon as possible.

……

"Your Highness, Li Ran asks to see you."

"Let him in."

Li Chengqian was a little puzzled, hasn't this guy been pardoned by Li Er, why is he here again?

"Your Highness, I want to help you with things." Li Ran said directly.

Li Chengqian looked Li Ran up and down and began to think about the value of this person, not to mention, it's pretty good.

After all, he was the leader of the Suzaku Gang before, and now in his company, he can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

"Yes, it just so happens that I have one thing, which is to collect money from every house, just like you used to collect the protection fee for the shop stalls."

Li Ran was suddenly greatly embarrassed.

"Your Highness, the gang is already yesterday's yellow flower, so don't mention these things again."

Li Chengqian was a little disdainful, this thing is in other places, but it is carried forward, and the company understands it.

In fact, in essence, it is a gang.

"The money I asked you to collect this time was paid voluntarily by everyone, and it was the kind that you didn't want to pay or reluctantly."

Li Ran was suddenly puzzled, they used to collect protection money, but they relied on force.

If you don't rely on force, then on what? Could it be that it is reasonable?

"Your Highness, since this is the case, then give me some people, and I promise to do these things well."

"This time, you are not allowed to call a single soldier of the imperial court, you have to find someone yourself, don't you have many brothers, look for them." Li Chengqian said.

Li Ran wanted to cry without tears, it was Li Chengqian who disbanded the gang, and he was the one who asked him to find his former brother, it's just that!

"Yes......"

After Li Ran left, Li Chengqian called Li Qing and Li Hu again.

"Dress up and collect the money." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes."

The propaganda of the Chamber of Commerce is indeed very powerful, and almost everyone in Chang'an City knows the benefits of sewers within a day.

Especially in Changxingfang, the residents are very much in favor of this matter, and everyone is willing to pay.

Sending people out to collect money, Li Chengqian thought of one thing, that is, the money collected this time will not be very much.

I can only hope that Li Er will quickly rely on the national debt to get some money for him.

Wangcai has become lively again these days.

In the past, when the flowers and plants in the yard were flourishing, he liked to play among these precious flowers and plants.

Since that time, Li Chengqian had everyone click on the flowers and plants, and it could only play elsewhere.

But now it's different, the potatoes are growing happily, and it's like a day.

Wangcai has never seen this plant, so naturally he wants to taste it, and eating grass is a must for them.

The conclusion is naturally not very tasty, it still likes wheat seedlings or the most common grass taste.

Li Chengqian's biggest hobby is to stare at this land in a daze, and he naturally sees the good things that Wangcai does.

Seeing that Wangcai tasted a mouthful of potato leaves and vomited, he laughed heartlessly.

Wangcai ate a few more weeds in the field, and ate very happily, obviously these weeds are more in line with his appetite.

Li Chengqian was immediately furious.

"Someone's coming!"

Xiao Cui, Xiao Ningzi and others gathered in front of Li Chengqian.

"You waste, Wangcai knows how to weed the fields, don't you do things day by day?"

"Negative Sentiment from Emi Shine, +111"

"Negative Sentiment from Xiao Ningzi, +132"

"From ......"

Everyone was speechless, saying that this potato was extremely precious, and it was Li Chengqian who didn't let them walk in for half a step.

Now it is Li Chengqian who let them in again.

This is said and reversed, it is all said by Li Chengqian, and it is all Li Chengqian who has a point, who can withstand this!

"What are you doing? Go in and pull the weeds! Also, touch my potatoes a little, I want you to look good! Li Chengqian said.

???

All people have words of suffering.

These potatoes, potatoes, and artichokes are really too good to grow, and after they come out of the soil, they start to grow wildly and wantonly.

It is no wonder that the average potato is grown on slopes with poor water and fertilizer.

Lack of water, lack of fertilizer is a normal thing, suddenly planted on such fertile land, and there are people who fertilize and water every day.

It's inevitable to grow fast!

As a result, the gap between each line of quality inspection sheet is a little narrow.

When you go in and walk, you will inevitably come across these potato leaves, and what are Li Chengqian's words? If you do, you will be punished!

It's over!

There was no way, everyone had to bite the bullet and go in.

"What's your name, why don't you go in?" Li Chengqian asked.

"My name is Er Fat, and when I go in, I will inevitably bump into the leaves......"

Li Chengqian looked at the body shape of the second fat, and it was indeed the case.

"You waste, you are not as good as prosperous wealth." Li Chengqian said.

The second fat nodded again and again.

In fact, the people here are not as good as Wangcai! People are not as good as cats!

Xiao Ningzi, who was pulling out the weeds, was suddenly attacked by Wangcai, leaving six scratches on his face.

Xiao Ningzi: "??? ”

He's crazy, why did Wangcai suddenly attack him...... What about claws?

He thought he had reconciled with Wangcai.

Wangcai saw that Xiao Ningzi was stunned, and sent it with a few paws.

Xiao Ningzi was really in pain now, and he wanted to escape.

Wangcai is not clawing at will, he is protecting its food, and the weeds here are its food.

Li Chengqian's voice came at the right time: "Xiao Ningzi, don't touch the potato leaves, you'll be done if you touch it." ”

Xiao Ningzi's feet were weak and he almost fell.

In front of him, Li Chengqian stared at him with wide eyes, and behind him was Wangcai, who pounced and bit at him.

There is Yama in front, and there is a tiger wolf in the back!

Is this still the life of a human being?

"Negative sentiment from Xiao Ningzi, +188"
