Li Longji looked at the few gold and silver coins used in the Luquan County Money Village in his hand, and then looked at the gold and silver coins from the Western Regions, Li Longji, who likes to pursue perfection very much, still loves this kind of beautifully made and clever things, "Companion, you should have something to say to me!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, the old slave can't hide your eyes from your eyes at all", Gao Lishi gently patted Li Longji and said: "This kind of coin is different from the gold and silver coins of the Western Regions, although it is beautifully made, it is not made of pure gold and sterling silver, but mixed with other metals, it is not an exaggeration to make fire, the key is that there are serrations around this coin, it is extremely difficult to imitate, and it will be scrapped if it is damaged and polished, so it will be liked by the Hu people who often use gold and silver to do business, I heard that the first thing Hu people do when they go to Luquan County is to go to Zhenjia Money Village to exchange such coins, just by exchanging it once, they can earn a profit, which is equivalent to grabbing money! ”

Li Longji immediately chuckled and said, "Is the big companion also short of money now?" ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "The old slave has served His Majesty for almost forty years, and His Majesty's reward to the old slave has made everyone red, and now he has no worries about food and clothing, and it is the only wish of the old slave to be able to accompany His Majesty after death, what is the use of asking for money!" ”

Li Longji nodded happily, not thinking that Gao Lishi was patting his own horse, but sincerely said from the bottom of his heart, comforting: "I don't mean that, even if Zhen Qian takes your way, if you don't have real talent and real learning, you won't help people say good things in front of me!" ”

Gao Lishi's face showed a blush of excitement and said: "Your Majesty understands the old slave, and the next time the old slave sees Zhen Gan, he will definitely say these words to Zhen Qian, if he doesn't give the old slave something satisfactory, the old slave will not spare him!" ”

The old slave asked the craftsmen who were in charge of the craftsman if they could make such a coin, and to the great disappointment of the old slave, the craftsmen told the old slave that it was not difficult to make, but the cost was not low, and it could not be made without 20% of the loss. The old slave didn't understand, could it be that Zhen Qian was doing this to lose money and make money, and these coins are not a decimal in Luquan County, even if they can be made, they will not be exchanged with the Hu people, but hidden at home to make tired money, Your Majesty said that the old slave is right? ”

Gao Lishi left the following words to Li Longji, this is the art of speaking, especially with the shrewd emperor, only the final result comes from Li Longji's mouth, so as not to cause Li Longji's displeasure.

Li Longji stared at Gao Lishi's face, and said for a while: "A person who can change his family property from thousands to tens of thousands in more than a year, there is no such fool in the world, there must be a reason for this, you want to know this reason?" ”

Gao Lishi immediately walked behind Li Longji, skillfully massaged Li Longji's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Now there is no shortage of treasures in the inner treasury, but the money is empty, if you get this method and let people imitate it, the profit of one percent seems to be small, but it is better than the huge quantity, and it is not too much to increase the inner treasury by 100,000 a year!" ”

Li Longji was a little tempted, others were worried about his inner library, Li Longji would definitely be like thunder, Gao Lishi was different, and thought: "This matter belongs to the small road, wait until Zhen Qian enters Beijing and then think about it in the long run, I am tired, go to sleep!" ”

Gao Lishi glanced at the "Theory of a Rich Country and a Strong Army" that was casually thrown on the imperial case by Li Longji out of the corner of his eye, and felt a little lost in his heart, in addition to the imperial power can not be left behind, this former diligent emperor is now beginning to neglect his government, and even money can't seduce the former ambitious emperor with much interest.

Li Longji got up and stretched his waist, and before the third watch, he was a little sleepy, this is the appearance of old age, Li Longji doesn't like this feeling very much.

Li Longji, who stood up and was about to enter the dormitory, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Just now the eldest companion mentioned Li Huang, the founding prince of Wen'an County, I almost forgot, I heard that his daughter's condition has improved a bit, but is there such a thing?" ”

Gao Lishi immediately guessed what Li Longji wanted to say, and remembered what Li Huang said when he invited him to dinner, so he replied truthfully: "The county lord of Jinyuan is indeed sick, Li Huang did not deceive His Majesty, the old slave took the imperial doctor to the palace for diagnosis and treatment, and several imperial doctors have already diagnosed the condition of the county lord of Jinyuan, which is the body's nutritional disorder, body weakness and qi failure, plus the cold qi entering the body on the way back to the court, I am afraid that it has injured the internal organs." Fortunately, when passing through Luquan County, Zhen Qian helped the county lord of Jinyuan to recuperate, so that there was no worry about life, and now he can only stay in the house to slowly recuperate......

"Can it be recovered?"

Since ancient times, ruthless has been the most emperor's family, Li Longji didn't really care about the condition of the county lord of Jinyuan, he just wanted to marry the county lord of Jinyuan to the prince of Tubo as soon as possible to appease Tubo's wolf ambitions for the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, before the decree was promulgated, the news of the illness of the county lord of Jinyuan came, and Li Longji suspected that someone had leaked the news, and Li Huang deliberately released the news.

I didn't expect that the county lord of Jinyuan was really sick, and the illness was not light, even if he was cured, he was still a sick seedling, how could such a county lord marry to Tubo.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, I'm afraid that the illness of the county lord of Jinyuan is that evil qi has entered the body, affecting the meridians and blood vessels of the whole body, such a disease cannot be cured at all, and the imperial doctor is helpless. However, Zhen Qian prescribed a prescription for the county lord of Jinyuan, if the condition can be stabilized within a year, the county lord of Jinyuan may still be saved, otherwise it will ....... ”

Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi suspiciously, if he didn't know Gao Lishi, he would definitely suspect that he had taken a lot of benefits from Zhen Qian, otherwise how could he help Zhen Qian say good things everywhere, but he didn't know that Gao Lishi was reminding himself to read Zhen Qian's "Theory of Rich Countries and Strong Soldiers".

"Tomorrow I will invite Li Huang into the palace, I want to have a good chat with him, and by the way, let the concubine meet the county lord of Jinyuan, and pick a few old ginseng from the inner treasury to give to the county lord of Jinyuan!"

As long as it does not involve the rebellion of the imperial power, Li Longji is still very tolerant of the imperial family, and even intentionally or unintentionally encourages the arrogance and lasciviousness of the clan, hoping to paralyze their ambitions.

Gao Lishi sighed softly, sent Li Longji into the dormitory, and walked to the side hall to rest, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart. When scholars commented on current affairs, most of them whitewashed the Taiping and sang praises of virtue, and there were also many people who were not shocking and liked to criticize the government and officials, but most of them did not have any constructive opinions.

Historically, like Li Longji, Colliers was brilliant and discerning, and he was good at perceiving crises from clues and seizing opportunities to build momentum for himself. Personal charm and dark side exist in a person at the same time, in his later years, Gao Lishi knew that An Lushan was going to rebel, but he did not insist on his own opinions, and the ostrich thinking of getting by was the same as Li Longji, and he missed the best opportunity to get rid of An Lushan, which is of course a later story.
