Chapter 168: A Stone Worth Ten Thousand Dollars

Du He's words stunned everyone.

Then, Du He said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate the reconstruction of the country's prison, it just so happens that everyone is here today, and I have a poem I want you to appreciate." ”

Li Er said in a timely manner: "It is said that Du He has the name of a talented man in Chang'an, today, even I want to see what new works you have recently." ”

"Pen and ink waiting!"

Li Eryi gave an order, and Zhao Yang hurriedly ordered a few eunuchs to bring the table, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, all of which were ready.

Zhao Yang personally studied ink for Du He.

Du He picked up the pen and pondered for a moment.

I picked up my pen and began to write.

Boom.

Duhe's pen is like a divine help.

It didn't take long to finish.

Zhao Yang personally picked it up and read it out in public.

"Lost an iron ring, broke a saddle; broke a saddle and broke a warhorse; Broke a war horse and lost a king; Lost a king, lost a war; Lost a war, lost an empire. ”

This is one of the most famous stories in later generations to illustrate the butterfly effect.

However, the original content is that an iron nail has been lost.

But in this era, the horseshoe had not yet appeared, so simple changes were made.

Listen carefully.

Is this poetry?

Apparently not.

However, the truth could not be simpler.

Just because of an iron ring, an empire will die, so if the country is not built in one day, why is it much worse than the empire.

Of course, there are many people who think that Du He is sophistry and strong words, but they don't know how to refute it for a while.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Du He took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is only a small Lantian County, for the sake of my Datang foundation and the prosperity of Datang, I am willing to donate all my property, 10,000 yuan, to Your Majesty to rebuild the country." ”

With that, Du He turned around and walked out of the main hall, and came back after a short time, followed by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu carried a huge box alone.

Bang.

The box was placed on the Tai Chi Hall and made a loud noise.

Crash.

The box opens.

Full of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Du He said: "Your Majesty, this is 10,000 yuan, which is all the property of my Du He, and now all of it has been donated, in order to rebuild the country's prison, I Du He has decided to eat bran vegetables from today on." ”

The righteousness that Du He said was so righteous that many people were moved.

Li Er didn't dare to laugh and kept a serious face.

Li Er stood up and said, "Okay, Du He, what you did today is really impressive, Zhong Aiqing, Du He is young, and he can still understand the importance of rebuilding the Guozijian to my Tang Dynasty, I am very relieved." ”

As he spoke, Li Er looked at the ministers standing in the front row, intentionally or unintentionally.

Cheng Yanjin was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I also donate 10,000 yuan, and I hope that the national prison will be completed as soon as possible." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I will donate 30,000 yuan. ”

"I'll donate 20,000."

"I donate 10,000 ......"

"I ......"

Under the leadership of Cheng Yanjin and others, everyone enthusiastically donated.

Li Eryi waved his hand, and Zhao Yang hurriedly asked people to take out a pen and paper and write it down.

In the end, it reached 500,000.

Li Er was calm on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.

Just because of Du He's performance, 500,000 yuan was in hand.

Isn't it too easy?

Then, Li Er happily announced his retirement from the dynasty and told everyone that for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he hoped that everyone would send the donated money to the palace as soon as possible.

The crowd dispersed.

When Du He walked to the door, he was suddenly stopped by Cheng Yanjin: "Little rabbit cub, let's say, what are you holding back in your heart?" ”

Du He looked unhappy: "Uncle Cheng, how can you say that, I, Du He, do things with a clear conscience, you didn't see that I donated 10,000 yuan, no less than you." ”

Cheng Biting Jinhu looked at Du He suspiciously: "You will be so generous?" Who doesn't know that your biggest hobby is to make money, and the biggest feature is that you don't suffer losses, and it is more difficult to get money out of your hands than to climb to the sky...... It's incredible that you actually donated 10,000 dollars! ”

Duhe: "......"

Fortunately, Cheng Yanjin didn't ask any questions.

Du Ho hummed a little song and left the palace.

……

In the evening.

The chamberlain Zhao Yang went to the imperial study to report: "Your Majesty, all the 500,000 yuan donated by the ministers have been sent to the palace, and the servants have arranged for someone to count them, plus the donation from Lantian County, a total of 490,000 yuan." ”

Li Eryi was stunned: "Du He obviously donated 10,000, why did it become 490,000." ”

Zhao Yang's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Your Majesty, the 10,000 donated by Lantian County is outside, please see it at a glance." ”

Li Er was very curious and followed Zhao Yang to the outside of the hall.

I saw that Du He asked Lu Bu to bring the huge box placed alone outside the Taiji Palace.

Li Er approached, and Zhao Yang hurriedly asked someone to open the box, and then picked up the copper coin on the surface.

On the surface, less than 100 copper coins.

Underneath it was a partition.

When the partition was opened, a huge bosom-sized stone was placed inside.

Li Er's nose suddenly turned crooked.

"This Duho...... Dare to deceive the king, really, it is really unreasonable! ”

Zhao Yang suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, there is a piece of paper here!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from the box.

The paper reads: This is the East China Sea Shouxian Stone, which grows in 30,000 years, appears once every 30,000 years, and is worth at least 10,000 yuan.

Swish.

Li Er angrily tore up this piece of paper, and when he looked at this trace, he knew that it was written by Du He in a hurry.

Look at the big stone again, what kind of Shouxian stone is, it is clearly a large fish pebble fished up in the river.

In an instant, Li Er thought of the conditions that Du He had negotiated with him before, that is, to give him one-tenth of the donation proceeds, which was a full 50,000 yuan.

Du He, this guy, carried a stone to the Taiji Palace, fooled the ministers, and got 50,000 yuan after changing hands?

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Er's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Bastard, bastard......"

He thought that he could make good use of Du He this time, but he didn't know that in the end, his dignified Tang Emperor was deceived by Du He.

"This liar ......"

But angry is angry, Li Er still keeps his promise.

On the second day, Zhao Yang personally sent Du He's commission and 100,000 yuan for printing books to the furniture factory.

As soon as Du He counted it, he felt that something was wrong.

Because, what Li Er sent was only 49,000 yuan.

Du He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yang: "I said Mr. Zhao, one-tenth of 500,000 is 50,000, right, you kid is not honest, you dare to steal my 1,000 money?" ”

Zhao Yang's face turned green: "County, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, I, Zhao Yang, have served Your Majesty for many years, this kind of thing, you can't do it, County, you are content, you take a stone to deceive Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still angry, if it weren't for the fact that no one can print books in urgent need of students except you, Your Majesty wants to beat you up." ”

Du He touched his chin, "Your Majesty is too stingy, I have indicated that the stone is worth at least 10,000 yuan, if you want me to say, it is a longevity stone, but the value is infinite." ”

Zhao Yang looked at Du He's serious look and almost fainted.
