Chapter 21: What About Money?
Cheng Chubi was drunk again, and he did say that he was drunk by his father.
The next day, Cheng Chubi, who had not yet woken up, was picked up by Cheng Yanjin and carried him outside.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Cheng Chubi asked.
"Your Majesty has come to the Holy Decree, follow a certain family to receive the Decree."
"Father, Your Majesty's holy decree is for you?"
"For you!"
"Give it to me?" Cheng Chubi asked in disbelief: "Really for me?" ”
"For you!"
"Li Er is so kind?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
"What do you say?" Cheng Yanjin's eyebrows widened, Cheng Chubi hurriedly shut up, you must know that Cheng Yanjin is Li Er's hardcore good friend, if he hears Li Er's bad words, I am afraid that a beating will be inevitable.
When I arrived in the front hall, I saw a group of people waiting in the hall for a long time, and one of the chamberlains dressed in eunuch clothes was standing, holding a brocade in his hand.
"Coming? You're Cheng Saburo, right? Li Zhong looked at Cheng Chubi, smiled slightly, and said, "Cheng Sanlang, take the order." ”
"The grass people Cheng Cheng will take the order!"
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Cheng Jiasanlang, smart and clever...... 100 gold! Chin this. ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Cheng Chubi hurriedly shouted, Cheng Chubi in front didn't hear what it was clearly, but he heard the 'special gift of 100 gold' in the back clearly, he didn't expect that this Li Er was quite good, and he gave himself a hundred catties of gold before they met.
In Cheng Chubi's understanding, 'giving 100 gold' means giving 100 catties of gold.
"My lord, what about the hundred gold?" Cheng Chubi asked weakly.
"Give it to him." Li Zhong said, and an attendant came to Cheng Chubi with a square wooden plate, which was covered with a red cloth.
Cheng Chubi couldn't wait to open it, but he was dumbfounded.
There is no gold in the plate at all, there is no gold, but there are two sets of silver, but this bit of silver is not worth a hundred gold, right?
"What about gold? Didn't you say a hundred pounds of gold? Even if it's not a hundred catties, a hundred taels is fine? Cheng Chubi looked at Li Zhong and said, "My lord, it won't be because you have filled your pockets, right?" It's not kind to you, even if you swallow it, you can show me it, you don't know, I haven't touched gold since I'm so big......"
"You coward, Your Majesty rewarded you, and you will do it." Cheng Yanjin kicked Cheng Chubi and said with a smile: "Li Neishi, does Your Majesty have anything else to explain?" ”
"Your Majesty wants me to ask, when will the marriage between Cheng Saburo and Lord Cheshire be held?" Li Zhong asked sharply, this was not Li Zhong's intention, after all, the eunuchs didn't have that kind of thing, and their voices became sharper than normal.
"I won't marry, no, I won't marry, and I won't marry the tigress if I die." Cheng Chubi hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Dad, I'm still young now, I don't want to get married so soon!" ”
"Are you still young? It's sixteen! A lot of people like you have been dads at times! Speaking of marriage matters, the words of the parents who ordered the matchmaker, how can you not marry if you want to marry it? Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly and said.
"Father, marriage is the grave of love, you can't bear to push your son into the grave?"
"What kind of love and what grave, a certain family doesn't know, coward, if you are verbose, a certain family will beat you to death." Cheng Biting Jin said angrily, the old Cheng family's education method is to beat and beat him hard if he is disobedient.
"No rights!" Cheng Chubi looked up to the sky helplessly, and said, "Dad, why don't I discuss something with you?" I'll get something good, and you give it to Your Majesty, and then exchange it for my freedom to marry? ”
"Oh? What? ”
"A very good thing! Something that can solve thousands of troops! I know that Datang does not produce war horses, and the annual consumption of war horses is quite large, I have one thing that can solve the problem of war horse consumption, do you think it can be used in exchange for my freedom? Cheng Chubi saw that there seemed to be a drama in this matter, and he couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face.
"If you can make a great contribution, I can try to push off this marriage with His Majesty the Emperor." Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, since returning from the battlefield, he has always heard that his son has become smart and excellent, and he really wants to see how good his third son has become. Yuan Tiangang also said back then that his son had a catastrophe, and after the robbery, it was a great fortune, but he would see if it was true.
"Dad, when you fight, the war horses consumed are mainly because of problems with the feet of the war horses, I have a way to keep the hooves of the war horses from being damaged, not only that, but I can also make the war horses more convenient for war." Cheng Chubi smiled slightly, then walked to his room, took out the remaining paper, and quickly sketched it.
Cheng Yanjin and the others couldn't help but be curious when they saw Cheng Chubi's mysterious spirit, and hurriedly followed, and when they saw Cheng Chubi painting something, they asked, "San Lang, what is this?" ”
"Father, this thing is called a horse's hoof, and it is nailed to the horse's paw by breaking iron into pieces, like putting hooves on the horse, which is called a stirrup, and it is hung on the saddle so that it is easy for people to mount the horse, and it also helps the warrior to stabilize himself when fighting." Cheng Chubi said that in this era, the saddle has appeared, and the saddle has appeared as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Mulan sings in the poem: "Buy horses in the east market, saddle sheath in the west market, bridle in the south market, and long whip in the north market." ”
"Come on, quickly build what Saburo said." Cheng Bingjin laughed, patted Cheng Chubi's shoulder, and said, "If it's really as you said, I'll make a big contribution to you." ”
"Dad, it's absolutely true, if this thing comes out, the consumption of Datang's war horses will definitely be reduced by eight layers in the future." Cheng Chubi said lightly.
Soon, the horseshoe was built, and then nailed to the horseshoe according to Cheng Chubi's method, and after nailing the horseshoes, the handsomeness seemed to be more handsome.
The horse's hooves make a "clattering" sound on the ground.
"Hahaha, great, great, worthy of being the son of a certain family, our Cheng family's erlang, hahaha......" Cheng Yanjin said happily.
"Dad, you've said this more than ten times, do you doubt that your son and I are not biological?" Cheng Chubi said a little depressed.
"Coward, what stupid things are you talking about, for your father to enter the palace first, you stay at home and wait for the good news of your father." Cheng Yanjin laughed, took the design drawing, rode the horse that had just been nailed to the horse's hoof, and quickly walked towards the direction of the palace.
is worthy of being Li Er's hardcore good friend, thinking about Li Er in everything. Cheng Chubi said with a wicked smile, humming a little tune, and walked outside.
It's almost noon, and I haven't eaten breakfast yet.
