Chapter Seventy-One: A Competitive Gamble
"To bet or not to bet? Zhao Guogong, are you afraid? Li Yuan said excitedly.
The strange shape just now was nothing else, but a lead movable type printing press, not to mention that this thing is worth 3,000 yuan, even if it is worth 10,000 gold.
This is an invention that can cut through the times.
"No...... I'm just wondering what is the stake? The eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and said, he still firmed up his inherent judgment, "Since the Emperor Taishang wants to gamble with Weichen with this thing, if His Majesty secretly sends someone to buy this thing with his property, then ...... Make it clear that Weichen is the losing side. ”
If the Emperor Taishang sent someone to buy this thing for three thousand yuan, then it was obvious that he would suffer a loss.
"Jade is valuable because of its color, Tian is rich because of its products, everything has its value, the dust at the bottom is not worth a penny, but the jewels of the palace are worth a thousand gold, which is the inherent value. And the market price of dung is thousands of gold, of course, it doesn't count, and what the poor road says is the inherent value of this thing. Li Yuan explained.
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, although what the Emperor Taishang said was a little twisted, but he understood that what he paid attention to was the inherent value, not the arbitrary price increase, so ...... In that case, what else is he worried about?
"Dare to ask the Emperor, what is the bet?" He grinned.
No matter how you look at this gamble, he wins, and the emperor has almost no chance of winning, except for fools who choose to bet, and according to his estimate, the reason why the emperor did this was completely because he wanted to deliberately intimidate him, and it was expected that he would not dare to call.
Since this is the case, he will do the opposite, and see how the Emperor Taishang ends!
"The bet is ......" Li Yuan groaned slightly, he was not short of money, and if he was too strong, it was not very good to do things that were difficult for a strong person, and it would be undignified, "If anyone loses, then it will ...... Running naked three laps around the West Market. ”
"Running naked...... It's too much of a bet. Everyone exclaimed, the treasures of the field house or something, when it comes to their status, it is not valuable, but running naked is a shameless thing.
Especially one is the emperor, and the other is the uncle of the dynasty.
Wager...... It's too big!
"Sure enough, the donkey skills are poor." The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly in his heart, he had already seen through the disguise of the Emperor Taishang, how could the dignified Ninety-Five Honorable run naked, even if he lost, it was impossible.
Not only will His Majesty the Emperor not allow it, but the courtiers will not allow it, and the relationship will be faceless.
So...... He is the only one who can really fulfill the gambling contract.
"This matter is about the face of the court, if Zhao Guogong is unwilling, forget it, it is okay to change a gambling contract, for example, Zhao Guogong's daughters are all married to a certain concubine, or ....." Li Yuan said.
"No, it's just a month, if this thing is not worth three thousand yuan, Weichen naturally doesn't dare to ask the emperor to do this shameless thing, but ...... The position of the dean of the medical school is still bothering the emperor to abdicate and make way for Xian, after all, the emperor is ......very old," said the eldest grandson Wuji.
His abacus is very accurate, it is basically impossible to let the Emperor Taishang run naked, unless he kills Li Shimin, then he can only ask for benefits, and the best interest of the Emperor Taishang is the medical school.
The medical school is different from Guozijian, which is both private and official, and does not have the complicated official positions of Guozijian, sacrificial wine, doctor of the Five Classics, etc., but its students come from all over the world, and there are few students from the medical school in the previous imperial examinations.
What's more, Li Shimin is interested in supporting their eldest grandson family, after all, the eldest grandson family is an emerging family, and it is not as strong as other families, as long as he speaks, then the eldest grandson chong will become the dean of the medical school, which will be in the bag.
As for...... Failure, is that possible?
"Medical School ......" Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his heart tightened, medical school was the foundation of his life, and his re-enthronement in the future would also depend on the help of medical school.
"Medical school is okay, it's already old anyway, it's time to abdicate and make way for Xian, can't it always be a corpse vegetarian meal isn't ......" Li Yuan snorted and said with a smile: "Then..... Zhao Guogong is this a gamble? After a month, if it is worth 3,000 yuan, then you will run naked around the West Market three times, but if you ......"
"If not, then the Emperor will return to the deep palace and retire with peace of mind." The eldest grandson Wuji also laughed in return.
"Very good, Zhao Guogong is so supportive, calculate the time, and the congratulatory gift of the poor road is about to arrive." Li Yuan said to himself.
"What...... Isn't the congratulatory gift this weird thing, and something else? The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked.
Just when the eldest grandson Wuji guessed what the emperor's congratulatory gift was, a roll call came from outside the gate of the East Palace, "The emperor sent ten cars of silk and satin, ten cars of glazeware, ten cars of fine wine, and one car of various perfumes...... Gaoling County and Lantian County, as well as 1,000 taels of gold and silver......"
"This is fake, isn't it, did the Emperor Taishang move the entire treasury over?"
"When the fifth surname married his daughter, he was not so extravagant, and it was nothing to send silk and wine in front, but the terrible thing was that the emperor directly sent the food of the two counties, who dared to send it like this? Even His Majesty is also deducting and searching the prince, and I am afraid that these food towns of the Emperor Taishang are almost the same as the food towns of the princes divided by His Majesty......"
"It's understandable that there are so many dowries, after all, the dowry is more or less the face of the mother's family, but this is a wedding gift......"
Li Yuan smiled slightly when he heard these voices, although he was really surprised when he heard it, in fact, he didn't send much. When he moved out of the palace, Li Shimin gave the four counties of food in one go, and they were all from Jingzhao Mansion, of course, these food towns could only collect taxes and could not do anything else, so for him, it was a chicken rib.
In addition, those glassware are glass, and there are more of this kind of glass in his warehouse, but they are only for hunger marketing, so they are not released. As for perfume and fine wine, it is made from grain, and the cost price is very small...... It's just that it's expensive.
Of course, he also has old blood, and a thousand taels of gold and silver have moved his old capital.
After Li Chengqian heard this long list of congratulatory gifts, he was also very excited, and rushed directly to the emperor's place, and he didn't care about other matters of the wedding, "Grandpa Huang...... Cheng Qian......"
"Good boy." Li Yuan touched Li Chengqian's head dotingly, after today, this fourteen-year-old fart child will be the groom.
"Pay attention to moderation when you are in the cave room, otherwise it will be difficult to live to the age of your imperial grandfather."
Li Chengqian's face was a little ruddy, and he said: "Chengqian knows, for the sake of the emperor's grandfather's congratulatory gift....... In the future, when the pit Chengqian is carried out, the Chengqian will not complain. ”
"......." Li Yuan.
What nonsense does the bear child say? Can he be an adult and a child?
Besides, he is also principled in cheating people......
Li Yuan coughed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Today you get married, the imperial grandfather will give you some face, and the matter of the two of us peeping...... If you don't say it, if I don't say it, no one should know, if you let the emperor's grandfather not come to the stage, then ...... The matter of voyeurism was told directly by the emperor's grandfather, and it was not me who copied the "Book of Filial Piety" anyway. ”
