Li Yuan sometimes thought that it was not too comfortable to be the emperor in the Tang Dynasty, even though there was no mobile phone, no Internet and other entertainment in modern society. But in the palace, you can eat whatever you want, and the chef won't do it, so you can cook it yourself, and you can talk to any girl you want......

Of course, his heart is still relatively conservative, since the painting screen has been committed to him, a "bad old man", then he can't live up to it too much no matter how he thinks, plus his waist is not so good, and he is really pure in heart and has few desires for beauty.

But these days passed day by day, and finally one day, the leisurely days of Emperor Taishang going back and forth between the medical school and Cuihua Mountain were suddenly shattered......

In the dormitory on Cuihua Mountain, the painting screen was draped in a thin coat, her willow eyebrows were tightened, and her fingers kept fiddling with the abacus on the case.

The sound of the abacus crackled, and after a while, she called someone to call the Emperor Taishang over, and said: "Daojun, since we moved into this Cuihua Mountain, the King of Qin has divided Lantian and other four Qi counties into four counties for us to use as food, but now there are about two months before the autumn cut, so there is no income over there for the time being."

In addition, the household department allocated 30,000 pieces of money and grain to build the Taiyi Dao Palace in Cuihua Mountain, which consumed about 25,000 pieces of money and grain, and the remaining 5,000 pieces.

There is also a monthly money in the palace, which is 300 yuan in January, and about 3,000 yuan in most half a year.

However, Qujiangfang built a medical school, and according to the agreement between Daojun and King Qin, we paid eighty percent, which consumed nearly 10,000 yuan.

What's more, Daojun promised poor students in medical school...... Free room and board, but the money and food over there are also our advance payment to the post station under the Ministry of Industry, in addition to scattered grants, scholarships, teachers' salaries, a total of 1,000 yuan per month in the medical school! ”

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Mu Ne said: "Picture screen, what do you mean ......?" ”

Huaping stroked his forehead, a little helpless between his eyebrows, pointed out the bill to Li Yuan, and said, "Daojun, there are only thirty yuan, five coins and forty wen left in our palace now, and there are 1,430 yuan owed to the Ministry of Works."

According to the concubine, Daojun has done enough, and those poor scholars also have hands and feet, but ...... In the medical school, they have no worries about food and shelter, and they have a meal of meat every seven days, even the rich people in the countryside are not so happy and happy, and they should reduce their expenses in the medical school......"

Li Yuan took the account book and looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. On this, he saw every expenditure shockingly.

The Lin family, who had a lawsuit with the picture screen, dared to take risks to sue the official for the sake of ten yuan of money.

With these tens of thousands of expenses, how many people's dowries can be made?

The bulk of this expenditure is naturally the cost of building a medical school and the Cuihua Mountain Palace, and then the monthly advance payment for board and lodging for poor students and the salary for teachers.

After miscellaneous calculations, the regular money in the palace is 300 yuan per month, and the monthly expenditure is at least 1,453 yuan.

In short, making ends meet!

"Wait, I also built a pig farm next to the medical school, and I created a lot of income." Li Yuan's face was a little embarrassed, he only promised, but he didn't care about his financial situation at all.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has naturally been treated with special favor, but this preferential treatment is also limited.

The money of 300 yuan is probably very small compared to the national treasury. But you must know that even if it is the eldest grandson queen, the regular money for a month is only fifty yuan.

But Empress Eldest Sun is too frugal, and even most of the meals she eats on weekdays are picked by her herself, so she has a lot of money on hand.

And what about Li Yuan?

"Daojun, those piglets are only a few months old...... Even if all the hundreds of fat pigs were sold, it would only be about one or two thousand. The painting screen frowned even deeper.

"Isn't that ...... Money? Li Yuan patted his chest, and suddenly a wave of pride poured out.

In ancient times, with the technology of later generations, was he still afraid of lack of money to spend?

But...... Which tech tree to point to?

Li Yuan frowned, walked around the dormitory, and muttered in his mouth: "Glass? No, no, the reason why I asked that question on the Gewu tablet is that I want the technology to slowly ferment over time, and finally pretend to be entrusted to the students. Otherwise...... Li Er will definitely wonder why the emperor still understands craftsmen? ”

Knowing how to heal is already great, but this still pulls Li Er, glass is in a hurry now, but it is not beautiful, how can people be perfect.

Since the glass is not made, it seems to ...... Inventing other money-making technologies, soap, perfume, etc., don't seem to work......

That's right! Perfume!

At the moment of thinking of perfume, Li Yuan's heart covered with a layer of haze suddenly relaxed.

The easiest money in the world is the money in the hands of women and children, and men, as for them, they are generally very stingy with spending money on themselves.

Perfume is not very difficult to make, that is, the blend of spices and ethanol is mixed in a certain proportion.

And when refining ethanol, it is also possible to make spirits by the way, which can not only be sterilized, but also had a large market in ancient times.

Li Baihui has to drink 300 cups, drinking rice wine, where will it be intoxicating, but if it is replaced with white wine......

I'm afraid that after drinking one or two glasses of drunkenness, do you dare to make any more bold statements?

Seeing Li Yuan's tense face gradually unfolding, she thought that he had figured it out, pouted, like a very calculating, stingy shopkeeper, and said slowly:

"Daojun has figured it out in his heart? That's right, what do those poor students have to do with Daojun, we are not charitable, we don't have enough money, why bother to slap a swollen face and become fat, and be wronged in vain. ”

But I didn't expect Li Yuan to just kiss her on the face, hugged her delicate body tightly, and said with a straight face: "Painting screen, don't underestimate these poor scholars, Zhou Han is now the general of Jingzhao Mansion as a supervisor, ranking ninth grade, once they gradually grow up, when the time comes...... Some-and-so is of great use!

So...... Even if they eat chaff, they have to be able to complete their studies. ”

"When is the time?" The eyes of the painting screen flashed, but the look in the random eyes gradually dimmed, and he couldn't care about the salty pig hands touched by the emperor.

She thought to herself: "Daojun is now sixty years old, and although he seems to be healthy, he can't guarantee one day...... Like that Feng Deyi, he fell on the steps of the yamen of the criminal department, and finally ...... A life. ”

In ancient times, the average life expectancy was only thirty or forty years old, and being able to live past the age of 60 was already considered tall and thin, and 70 years old was rare.

And the emperor ...... It is often difficult to live a long life, and between the ages of fifty and sixty, there are countless emperors who have died.

"Daojun, you have to take good care of your body in the future, otherwise the concubine will ...... I won't be able to see you when I get up one day......" As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't cry anymore.

"Forehead......" Li Yuan was a little speechless in his heart, he wanted to tell the picture screen that his lifespan was probably longer than her, but he swallowed this sentence in his mouth and never said it.

He didn't want to be seen as a deranged fool.
