"What do you think?" His Majesty Li Er set his eyes on Chu Suiliang again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister's opinion coincides with Lord Wei, but the prince is going to Liaodong in person this time, which is probably a little inappropriate, and now many envoys from the vassal states are gathering in Chang'an, at this time, if His Royal Highness the prince is not in Chang'an, this is a bit unreasonable" Chu Suiliang said.

"Yesterday evening, Cheng Qian came to see me in advance and told me that Liaodong was suitable for his plans." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and said: "I have to say that these people gathered around Cheng Qian now really have some different opinions, which makes me look at it impressively." ”

"The minister would like to hear about it." Chu Suiliang arched his hand and said.

"It is precisely because many envoys gathered in Chang'an that the affairs of Liaodong cannot be hidden, since they can't hide it, they want to do it generously, let these people watch, the bigger the movement, the better." His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "Later, I thought about it all night, and with what Cheng Qian said, I seem to understand a little bit what Cheng Qian wants to do."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing this, is it possible that there are other profound meanings?" Wei Zheng asked puzzled.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "That's right, Xuan Cheng thinks, how about the land of Liaodong?" ”

"Nowadays, whether it is Goguryeo or Silla, or the northern Yan, they are all my Tang Dynasty vassal states, but if there is a fight one day, Liaodong will be the land of four wars." Wei Zheng said, and then his tone paused, and he chuckled in his heart, as if he understood something: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"That's right!" His Majesty Li Er nodded with great satisfaction: "Layout, Cheng Qian and the officials of the East Palace, together with Ke'er and Qingque, are preparing to lay out in Liaodong!" ”

"Your Majesty, the environment in Liaodong is harsh, there are many mountains and dangerous places, and it is so difficult to lay out Liaodong." Chu Suiliang said.

"Lord Chu, in my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the Liaodong catastrophe to lay out the layout under the noses of the envoys from all sides, and with this reason, no matter how many materials are transported to Liaodong, they are all excusable, and outsiders can't find a trace of excuse flaw, and if they take root in the layout of Liaodong, the most indispensable thing is these materials." Wei Zheng said.

"That's right, I'll let Cheng Qian do it this time, I hope Cheng Qian can give me a surprise, Xuan Cheng, Dengshan, today I am looking for the two of you, in fact, I also want to tell the two of you, this time I must watch the courtiers in secret, don't let them do more behind Cheng Qian's back, if you help Cheng Qian, then it's okay, I'm afraid that this time the officials of the East Palace and the Literature Museum will get such an errand and confess to their eyes." His Majesty Li Er said.

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang glanced at each other, and then arched their hands together and said, "The ministers must do their best to assist the prince." ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled: "This time, Cheng Qian really plans to do a big thing seriously, and even the imperial doctor of the palace hospital will be taken to Liaodong." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing." Chu Suiliang said: "This just shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and thoughtful. ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled but did not speak.

In the palace, His Majesty Li Er found Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang to escort Li Chengqian secretly, and outside the palace, Xuan Shijing had no time to think about who was behind the trouble, because the auction arranged in Yanlai Tower was about to start preparations.

There are two large boxes in the room on the fifth floor of Xuan Shijing, and the items in them are all selected by Xuan Shijing to be taken to Yanlai Building as auction items, several of which were selected by the Wang family from the treasury of the Hou Mansion, and some were donated by the wives of each mansion under the instruction of their husbands.

"Brother Jing" Jin Yang, who was asleep in a chair, woke up.

"Well, I'm awake." Xuan Shijing got up and brought the real thing that was still warm on the table to Jin Yang: "I'm hungry, I've already let people get it, I haven't called you, it's still hot." ”

Things have been sent a long time ago, but they are hot and cold, hot and cold, and hot again

"En" Jin Yang rubbed his eyes, sat down in a chair, and put on his boots.

Xuan Shijing stepped forward to adjust the chair, turned the chair to face the table, and there were two dishes and one soup on the table.

Ben was a little hungry when he came here, but when he woke up, the feeling of an empty stomach became even more obvious.

"Brother Jing, what are you looking at?" Jin Yang saw Xuan Shijing fiddling with the contents of the two boxes on the side, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is something that is being auctioned in Yanlai Building tonight." Xuan Shijing replied: "It was all donated by some dignitaries and wives in Chang'an City. ”

"Brother Jing, what is an auction?" It was the first time Jinyang had heard of the word auction.

"This is like the opportunity for you to bid for a trip with Qin Bingyue in Yanlai Lou that day, and the one with the highest price will win." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

"Will anyone really buy it?"

"At the beginning, naturally no one paid for it, just let us guide it." Xuan Shijing had already thought about it, and asked the money pile to find a few shopkeepers to support the field below, and bid for the price, and over time, with Qin Bingyue's guidance on the side, naturally someone would be generous.

Xuan Shijing used Yanlailou thoroughly this time, who let the two beauties surnamed Qin in Yanlailou have never taken care of the Jinyang Fund since they showed their faces in Xuanwu that day, although it is to delegate power and not participate, only to make a reputation, but not to participate in it to let the family know, where does the reputation come from?

Therefore, Xuan Shijing plans to let Qin Yuxin and Qin Bingyue give full play to their "star" benefits in Yanlai Building.

"What time is it?" Jin Yang subconsciously looked out the window, but found that the window had already closed.

"It's almost noon, and the people below have already started cooking and preparing to send them to various fundraising points." Xuan Shijing said: "After you finish eating for a while, let's go to Yanlai Tower." ”

"Okay." Jin Yang responded.

The things raised in one day, plus the funds from the Jinyang Foundation and the things raised by Li Tai in Luoyang, the rest is to wait for Li Chengqian to go through Shandong and other places to purchase, and then transport them to Liaodong.

The imperial treasury plus the Ministry of Internal Affairs contributed 70,000 yuan, and the Jinyang Fund can take out 60,000 yuan with only cash, don't forget that the income of the Jinyang fief is not only its own expenses, but the rest of the income is all donated to the Jinyang Fund with the permission of His Majesty Li Er, although the time is still short, but it is also a large amount, plus the donations of Yanlailou and the Houfu Chamber of Commerce and the fees paid by those noble ladies when they joined the club.

Although the money in circulation of the Jinyang Fund is not only 60,000 yuan, but only the matter of Liaodong, the Jinyang Fund cannot take out all the belongings to support, the most taboo is that it must not exceed the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court, as for those materials, they are donated by the people, and it is also a good deed counted on the heads of the people.
