The atmosphere in the imperial study became awkward again, and Qin Tian didn't know how to answer for a while.

For a long time, for a long time.

The cold wind outside could be heard clearly, Li Shimin saw that Qin Tian didn't speak, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Qin Aiqing, I'll be honest with you, the inner treasury is empty, I'm afraid there is no money to support this year's palace banquet, but the emperor is still there, and the palace banquet can't be canceled, so I want to borrow a little money from you for emergency, what do you mean?" ”

Li Shimin has already made it very clear that Qin Tian just doesn't want to borrow it anymore, and it's not easy to refuse.

In fact, when others borrow money, Qin Tian will generally borrow it as long as he has it, but Li Shimin borrowed money, to be honest, he really didn't want to give it.

The Son of Heaven borrowed money, are you embarrassed to ask for it in the future?

That's not looking for death.

If he is a scoundrel and never mentions this, the little money you lend will be wasted.

"The saint, the inner treasury is short of money, and it is naturally the duty of the minister to provide some, but if the saint wants to get money, why should he borrow it?"

"Do you mean to give it to me? This is not good, I can't ask for it, I say that I borrowed it, I borrowed it. ”

At this time, Li Shimin was quite righteous and awe-inspiring, but Qin Tian smiled bitterly and said: "Holy Lord, you misunderstood what the minister meant, what the minister wanted to say was that to get money, it was actually very simple, and there was no need to borrow it." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin still doesn't quite understand.

"Shengshang, the palace banquet minister was fortunate to have participated once, to be honest, very boring, especially boring, it was a little lively at the beginning, and when it came to the back, it made people sleepy, and people didn't particularly want to participate, so, why not set up a stage on the side of the music square, and that night, find some people to perform the show, so that everyone can keep vigil in entertainment, so it is not only interesting, but also very lively, and most importantly, it can also make money."

What Qin Tian said was already a bit similar to the Spring Festival Gala in later generations, and after Li Shimin listened to his words, he fell into deep thought.

The annual palace banquet is indeed very boring and makes people drowsy, if there are really some interesting performances, it is indeed great, but the palace banquet is not in the main hall, but in the music square, it is inevitably a little out of character.

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Qin Aiqing said that he can still make money, what does this mean?" ”

"Holy Lord, some people come on stage to perform a show, and those who come to see the show are not allowed to spend money to buy tickets, this ticket is money."

Speaking of this, Qin Tian smiled again: "Generally, for palace banquets, you have to get some food, these foods are a lot, too wasteful, and a lot of them can't be eaten, if it's in Lefang, a few people sit at a round table, as long as you put some snacks and dried fruits on the round table, and then make a pot of good tea, in this way, you can save the money for the meal." ”

Qin Tian muttered, but after Li Shimin heard this, his brows deepened, and he even asked the people who came in to pay for tickets, which was simply insulting the dignity of his court.

This face, he Li Shimin can't afford to lose.

This is a great disgrace.

And just when Qin Tian looked at Li Shimin and wanted to know what Li Shimin meant, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and then said: "Qin Aiqing is really a good idea, how about leaving this stage, the show or anything to Aiqing?" ”

"This ......"

"Qin Aiqing deserves it."

"The saint asked, and the minister dared not obey."

As long as you don't borrow money from yourself.

--------------------

This year, the palace banquet was held in the music square, and the news of the program performance quickly spread among many princes and nobles.

In addition to this, there is also news that is good for these princes and nobles.

That is to say, this year's palace banquet is no longer limited to the children of the clan, but anyone who has a title, or an official rank of more than seven ranks, as long as they can afford tickets, can go in, and keep vigil with the current son, as well as the emperor, etc., to celebrate the New Year.

This was naturally said by Qin Tian when he was promoting.

You must know that many people don't even have the opportunity to see Li Shimin, let alone keep vigil with Li Shimin and Emperor Li Yuan for the New Year.

This is a very attractive propaganda point for those princes and nobles, officials and whatever.

Li Shimin and the others are similar to the superstars of later generations, in order to be able to see these superstars, in order to be able to celebrate the New Year with them, many people will be stingy with money.

And that's exactly what happened.

After the news spread, people came to buy tickets or something, and in just one day, more than 300 tickets were sold.

Qin Tian calculated, a ticket is not expensive, it is only two dollars, this is really nothing to those princes and nobles, of course, ordinary people don't think about it, they can see the Son of Heaven, and they can enjoy exquisite programs, how can they do it without spending some money?

Two yuan for a ticket, the whole music square can probably sit more than 1,000 people, and the final income, that is, two thousand yuan, two thousand yuan is not much for some rich businessmen, powerful people or something, but Li Shimin's urgent need is solved.

After a palace banquet, not only did he not spend much money, but he made a lot of money, and Li Shimin would definitely be happy.

Tickets continue to be sold, and the supply is a bit in short supply, and Qin Tian is here to be responsible for the construction of the music stage and the arrangement of the program.

And while he was busy with these, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong came to find him.

"Good boy, you have found another way to make money, why don't you call us, two thousand yuan a night, this business is really amazing."

Cheng Biting Jin is not stupid, they will calculate how much money they make after a palace banquet.

It's just that after hearing their words, Qin Tian smiled bitterly: "The two princes really misunderstood, I can't even put a single copper in my pocket, I'm just doing things for the saint." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong didn't believe it, there was no profitable business, Qin Tian would do it?

"You don't have any money?"

"Of course not, all this money has gone into the inner treasury, and now that the inner treasury is empty, if the saint had money, he would not have come up with such a way."

They also knew about the emptiness of the inner library, after all, Li Shimin was not even willing to burn coal, and they all saw it in their eyes, and seeing that Qin Tian did not mean to lie to them, they didn't say anything more.

"Be sure to get us a good spot that night."

"Don't worry, if you two buy tickets, you will definitely arrange a place for you."

"Shall we ask for a ticket?"

"If you want to, you can do without."

Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong pouted, with Li Shimin's current poverty, it would be strange not to vote.

"I forgot to tell the two of you, there are not many seats, tickets are limited, if you can't buy them, you won't have the opportunity to come and keep vigil with the saint."

As soon as they heard this, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong dared to hesitate, and hurriedly ran out to buy tickets.
