Chapter 137: Raising Funds (I)
Of course, Gao Ming went to the Forbidden Garden to find Li Shimin, after all, it was necessary to let Li Shimin know about such a big thing as building a academy, and the most important thing was that now he really couldn't come up with twenty or thirty thousand yuan to build a academy. γThousand β Thousand β³ Small β Say β³ Net W xQq] Please search () to see the most complete!

"Anyway, Lao Tzu has no money, besides, this matter is related to the entire Tang Dynasty, and it is not Lao Tzu's business alone, so it is also appropriate to let the old man help share a little."
Gao Ming has already thought about it, even if Li Shimin can't come up with the money, he has to persuade him to show some sincerity, after all, for an emperor, sometimes he doesn't need to pay, just a word from him.
After arriving at the Forbidden Garden, Gao Ming went straight to the imperial study, because he knew that Li Shimin should be there.
As Gao Ming thought, after arriving at the imperial study, he saw Liu Bing standing at the door, so he immediately laughed.
"Sure enough, as I expected, since the eunuch is there, will the emperor be far away?"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming's pace was much brisker, and when he saw Gao Ming coming, Liu Bing immediately raised his head and shouted.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
After shouting, he bowed to Gao Ming again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty is inside, please!"
Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming nodded suddenly, and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Well, it's a blessing!"
After speaking, Gao Ming turned around and entered the imperial study, he didn't notice that Liu Bing had already shown a look of emotion at this time.
For Gao Ming, he was just polite, which was probably the same as seeing an acquaintance in later generations and asking "Have you eaten", it was a very common thing, Gao Ming didn't know that Liu Bing would be grateful to him for such a small gesture.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really approachable!"
The late spring in Chang'an was a little cold, but at this time, in Liu Bing's heart, it was a little warm, and even a smile appeared on his face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a good person, and there are still people who impeach him, it is really unreasonable, but it is a pity that His Majesty did not speak in the morning, otherwise according to our temper, the official surnamed Wang will not be wronged if he is killed!"
Between the words, Liu Bing was quite upset with Gao Ming, but these Gao Ming didn't know, and he was busy bargaining with Li Shimin at this time.
"Old man, I have already explained to you the importance of this academy just now, can you see if you can give some money?"
Hearing Gao Ming finally ask for money after talking for a long time, Li Shimin suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, how much do you want?"
Seeing that Li Shimin did not object, but asked him how much he wanted, Gao Ming immediately felt that there was a door, so he stretched out two fingers towards Li Shimin. Remember [Qianqian w w.x q q x o m] in one second, and provide you with wonderful reading.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Hearing Gao Ming's lion mouth, Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened.
"No, don't build this academy!"
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing Li Shimin's refusal so simply, Gao Ming suddenly showed a wry smile.
"People pay attention to a bargain when doing business, you think I'm too high, you can pay it back, let's discuss!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin frowned and thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that it made sense, so he immediately nodded.
"Well, that's okay, I'll bargain for two thousand!"
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming sighed helplessly again.
"How can you make such a bargain, and it will drop a hundred times in one breath, this is too insincere, right?"
Li Shimin was a little impatient, and immediately put down the brush in his hand, and then looked up at Gao Ming.
"Then tell me, how much do you want me to bargain? Hurry up, I'm too busy to haggle with you! β
As soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming immediately stretched out three fingers.
"30,000, I will agree immediately if you bargain for 30,000!"
This time it was Li Shimin's turn to be silent, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.
"I know that you built the academy for the Tang Dynasty, but now I can only give you 10,000 yuan at most, and this Tang Dynasty is not my own Datang, do you understand what I mean?"
Seeing Li Shimin talking to himself in this tone, Gao Ming also knew that this should be the limit of what he could promise, so he could only nod.
"Okay, 10,000 is 10,000, but you have to order the Ministry of Industry to send someone to help me build the academy, you don't need them to work and contribute to the whole process, just go to a few people to command."
Regarding Gao Ming's request, Li Shimin readily agreed.
"This is okay, and if there are any other requirements, let's talk about it together!"
Seeing that Li Shimin agreed so happily, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly rolled, and then he laughed.
"Since you have said so, then I will make another small request, I plan to make a fundraiser on this matter, and the person who pays the most money at the time will reward him with a founding county man, how about it?"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin's face suddenly changed.
"How can the founding county man be measured by money? What's the difference between you doing this and selling your official beard? Don't get out of here! β
ββ¦β¦β
For this emperor who let people get out if he didn't agree with him, Gao Ming also felt that he was fed up, after Li Shimin's voice fell, he turned around and walked out without saying a word, but when he walked to the door, he immediately turned around and raised eyebrows at Li Shimin.
"Uh...... Before leaving, there is another question, when will you give me the 10,000 yuan you just promised me? Hey hey ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Gao Ming's flattering appearance, Li Shimin suddenly covered his head with his left hand with a distressed expression, and then stretched out his right hand and waved his hand at Gao Ming.
"I'll have the money delivered to you tomorrow, you hurry up and get out of here, I don't want to see you!"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming immediately nodded with a happy face.
"Mm-hmm, I'll get out of here...... Belch...... By the way, are you going to have the money delivered tomorrow morning, or tomorrow afternoon...... Oops......"
Before Gao Ming finished speaking, he suddenly saw Li Shimin pick up a pen holder and throw it at him, he hurriedly squatted down, and then heard a crisp sound of "pop" behind him, he looked back, and immediately found that the porcelain pen holder had been smashed to pieces.
Looking at this scene, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head helplessly at Li Shimin.
"Old man, you're really naughty, this thing can't be thrown around, what if you hit a child? Even if you can't hit a child, it's not good to hit flowers and plants...... Oops, you still throw ...... Heroes spare their lives! β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at the two pieces of porcelain flying over his head, Gao Ming didn't dare to provoke Li Shimin for the sake of his own life, so he escaped from the imperial study with his head in his arms.
Seeing him fleeing in embarrassment, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and laughed.
"This bastard is getting more and more unreasonable......"
After laughing, Li Shimin's face showed a meaningful look again.
"Twenty thousand is not a small amount, I want to see how you raise it!"
Although Gao Ming didn't know Li Shimin's thoughts, after escaping from the imperial study, a smile appeared on his face.
"The old man promised to give 10,000 yuan, then there is still a gap of 20,000 yuan, well, it doesn't look like this money is very difficult to get, hehe!"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming's mood suddenly improved, and when he returned to the East Palace, he saw Su Wan'er standing in front of him holding a small box.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming was immediately happy.
"What's wrong? Why are you standing here with a suitcase? Could it be that there is something good for me? β
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Su Wan'er directly opened the box in her hand.
"Lang Jun, this is some of the concubine's savings over the years, if Lang Jun needs ......"
Looking at the gold and silver jewelry in the box, and then looking at Su Wan'er's reluctant look, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha, I said Wan'er, Lang Jun, what I need is tens of thousands, and the gold, silver and jewelry in your small box are worth hundreds of dollars at best, right? Look at your distressed little look, it's okay, take it back! β
"But ......"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er wanted to say something, but before she could finish speaking, Gao Ming waved his hand at her.
"You don't need to say much about this, raising money is your man's business, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Speaking of this, Gao Ming reached out again to help her brush up the hair that fell next to her ears, and then laughed softly.
"I've suffered you all these years, your crown princess's belongings are less than a thousand, I'm afraid no one will believe it, now I'm busy raising money to build a academy, and after a while I'll be relieved, I'll get you a few sets of jewelry, okay, go prepare dinner, I'm hungry."
"Yes!"
Su Wan'er smiled sweetly, and left with her small box, and the happy look on her face when she left made Gao Ming laugh again.
After dinner, Gao Ming, as usual, took Su Wan'er around the East Palace, and then went back to the room to rest.
After entering the bedroom, Gao Ming found that it was dark inside, and he immediately frowned.
"Why aren't the lights on?"
Just as Gao Ming was about to turn around and go out to call someone to light the lamp, the voice of the servant suddenly came from inside.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, no...... Don't light ......"
Hearing the voice of the waiter, Gao Ming couldn't help but laugh at once.
"Yo, you little girl is really waiting for me in vain? Hehe, it's not the first time anyway, what's the shame of? β
"Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to fulfill it!"
Hearing the squire's almost pleading-like tone, Gao Ming just nodded.
"Okay, if you don't light the light, don't light the light!"
As he spoke, Gao Ming turned around and closed the door, and then cautiously groped all the way to the bedside, and when he reached into the bed, there was a burst of exclamations.
"Oops......"
Hearing this familiar voice, feeling the soft and smooth place of the tentacles, Gao Ming was immediately happy.
"Hehe, little goblin, my grandson is here, eat my wishful golden hoop stick!"
ββ¦β¦β
Gao Ming originally planned to stage a "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", but he probably didn't expect that in the middle of the night, the "White Bone Spirits" seemed to become two, and as a result, he was beaten by two White Bone Spirits.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I want it!"
"Here we go!"
"I want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince too!"
"Huh?"
