Chapter 699: Great Reward
When General Long Meng and the others heard the news, they all had smiles on their faces.
When they saw the more than 100 ox carts, their faces were full of shock.
Are these more than 100 cars, covered with cloth, all given to us?
However, everyone looked at the car with anticipation on their faces.
What the hell is in this car?
Li Ke stood next to him, looking at Li Tai, who was held by the stars, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Xu Jingzong took a brocade box from the hand of the attendant next to him and handed it to Li Tai's side, smiling.
"This is the canonization document of the new nobles, do you want Your Highness to see it in person?" Xu Jingzong asked.
"This ......"
Li Tai hesitated a little and asked, "Is this appropriate?" ”
"The sage said that the affairs of the southwest are all decided by His Highness, and if His Highness thinks it is not suitable, he can modify it himself." Xu Jingzong said.
This is tantamount to decentralization!
It can be seen how much Li Shimin loves his son.
"That'...... Forget it, since Daddy already has his own ideas, let's follow the rules of the court, and I still don't want to get involved in some things. Li Tai shook his head.
Although he also wants to rule the country, but now ...... It's not time yet.
"Your Highness, these seventy and thirty carts are your bride price." Xu Jingzong said.
"So, good." Li Tai nodded, since the three girls followed him, he couldn't be shabby with them.
"Your Majesty, the saint has an oracle." Xu Jingzong said.
"Huh?" Li Tai's brows furrowed slightly, what happened to the old man?
Xu Jingzong said: "The sage said: The parents of the children are worried, and the matter is done, and they will return quickly." ”
It seems that Li Shimin misses his son!
But also, there is such a son who gives himself a long face, and he can't do it if he doesn't want to.
"Dare to ask Mr. Xu, does my father have something to say to me?" Li Ke squeezed over, looking forward to it.
"This ...... This ......" Xu Jingzong gave Li Ke a polite but embarrassing smile.
It seems that he didn't expect Li Ke to ask him like this.
"Hey!"
Li Ke sighed, turned around, and left.
The back is very lonely.
His fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes flashed with envy and jealousy.
Why?
Why?
It's also your son, why do you only have Li Tai in your heart!
I was so angry in my heart!
Very unwilling!
There was a faint hatred in his eyes.
However, he hid these emotions well.
Li Ke left, and everyone did not feel a trace of surprise.
These days, Li Ke has been marginalized.
I have to say that Li Ke's mood is very low now.
"Your Highness, what do you think will be in this car?"
"I think it should be food, and what we Wuxi people lack most now is food."
"Brocade! Now that we are also nobles, I think the saint must have rewarded us with a lot of brocade. ”
"In my opinion, it should be copper coins, and with copper coins, everything can be bought."
“……”
Long Mengjiang and the others discussed one after another.
Everyone is very curious about the things on the car, and more is looking forward to it.
"It's opened, don't you know?" Li Tai looked at the gift list in his hand, with an inexplicable smile on his face, in fact, there is a gift list, but compared with the real thing he really sees, where is the joy of seeing the real thing?
Besides, how many of these new aristocrats present can read and write?
Therefore, it is better to tell them that it is better to let them see the real thing.
"This ...... Is this appropriate? Xu Jingzong couldn't help asking.
"What's inappropriate, open!" Li Tai said: "Turn on all the cars!" ”
"Whoa!"
When the soldiers heard this, they walked to the side of the cart and cut the rope with their knives.
Long Mengjiang and the others hurriedly walked forward, looking distressed.
"Tap, tap, don't cut this cloth down!"
"Such a good cloth, you all lighten it, don't hurt it."
"Don't scratch these cloths, these cloths are good things."
"I can make a new dress again this year!"
“……”
After all, he was used to being poor, and when he saw these cloths, he wanted to take one back and make a new dress for his mother-in-law. Although they are all coarse cloths, in this era of lack of materials, these are all good things.
At this moment, a lot of people have gathered on both sides of the road.
Some of them were sitting in the attic and by the window of the room, looking down curiously.
It's very lively.
The cloth covering the car was quickly lifted, revealing boxes, baskets, and sacks.
"This ...... What's in it? Long Mengjiang asked.
"Don't you know when you open it?" Li Tai stretched out his hand and opened a large basket.
The man next to him opened the basket.
"Wow~"
Suddenly, there was an amazement.
I saw that the baskets on dozens of cars were filled with newly created 'Datang copper coins'.
The copper coin has just been created, and it is yellow and orange, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"This ...... This ......" Long Mengjiang was also stunned.
What is this?
Copper?
Coins?
It's not the same as what I usually see.
"This is my Datang's new-style new coin, a Kaiyuan Tongbao equal to ten cents." Li Tai smiled slightly, picked up a large handful, and then put it down.
"When the ...... is long"
One after another, the sound sounded, which was very dazzling.
It's very nice.
"Good...... Good ......"
Long Mengjiang and the others showed excitement on their faces.
They have always had business dealings with the outside world, so they naturally understand what this copper coin is.
Money is not a good thing, but it can buy many, many things.
With this money, I have thought about it better over the years, and it's no problem.
Glad!
Be tickled pink!
They've never seen so much money when they're so big.
"Open those boxes and bags too." Li Tai said with a smile.
This time, Daddy rewarded him with a lot of things.
These copper coins alone are hundreds of thousands, right?
This amount can be a local tax again.
"Whoa!"
Several figures hurried to open the boxes, and another burst of cries came.
And behold, the inside of the box was filled with horses of brocade.
These days, cloth is also money!
Brocade is even more valuable!
In many cases, it is not necessarily copper coins that are used to buy and sell things, but cloth and brocade.
It has to be said that although copper coins have become widespread in this era, there are times when commercial activities still need to be bartered.
One of the most popular is brocade.
The price of rice is used as a reference.
So much brocade, that's also money.
In addition to brocade, there are also some gold, silver, jade and other things, which are really full of jewels and phoenixes.
"Fortunately, there are no female slaves and male servants or anything like that, and it is finally a big step towards civilization." Li Tai said with great satisfaction.
In ancient times, the emperor rewarded, in addition to money, he would also reward some slaves, cattle, sheep, and horses.
