Hua Ji was chilled by Wu Mei and Li Zhi, and finally relented, and said in Li Hong's tone: "Why the hell did you run over?" Did my dad or my mom let you come? What's this in your hands? Divine decree? Why, you still want to announce what's going on, give it to me. ”

Hua Ji looked at Li Zhi and Wu Mei in fear, and saw that both of them looked a little embarrassed and Tie Qing, while Lanling, Xincheng and Chengyang, all three of them had forced smiles on their faces.

"Go on." Wu Mei's mind was full of black lines, and she said coldly.

"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snatched the holy decree from the slave's hand and threw it on the table......

"The little idiot didn't watch?" Li Zhi's eyes were about to pop out, and he asked in surprise.

"Uh...... Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't look at it. The expression on Hanaji's face was about to cry, and she knelt down as soon as her knees went limp.

"And then!" Li Zhi was very angry, glared at the three princesses who were holding back a smile, and continued to look at Hua Ji.

Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the slaves and maids to help him...... Help him...... Write a letter to you and the queen, so the slave and maid did so, and if he didn't do it, he wouldn't let the slave come back ....... ”

Li Zhi snatched the letter from Wu Mei's hand, looked at the fleshy letter, and asked with trembling hands, "You wrote this for him?" Foolish, presumptuous! Come on, pull out the rod a hundred! No, two hundred! ”

Li Zhi slapped the letter on the table and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, wronged, the slave and maid have not finished speaking. But when the slave and maid were writing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wrote again, and the letter in your hand was indeed written by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the slave and maid wrote it by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Did he tell you to say that? Actually, you wrote this letter? Don't think I don't know, your handwriting has always been similar to his! ”

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are really wronged, and the slave and maid will not dare to lie to you even if they have a hundred guts." Hanaji knelt on the ground, and he wanted to die.

All this is in the calculations of His Royal Highness the Prince, he knows that His Majesty and the Queen will definitely ask him for details, and this matter of helping to write a letter must be said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly going to borrow a knife to kill people.

But you want Hanaji to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has murderous intentions against him? Hua Ji himself didn't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to kill him, but it was just His Royal Highness's bad taste, and he took revenge on his slaves and maids, and he had nothing to do with His Majesty and the Queen's small report to him.

Wu Mei looked at the letter in her hand silently, and then frowned and said lightly: "Your Majesty, the little idiot is Cheng Xin, he Cheng Xin wants to punish Hua Ji with your hand, he knows that you will definitely ask Hua Ji like this, so he planned such a play." ”

Wu Mei's face was full of melancholy and helplessness, with such a good prince on the stall, I really don't know if it is the blessing of Datang or the nightmare of Datang.

"Why are you planning this?" Li Zhiyu was still angry, and looked at Wu Mei with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Needless to say, Brother Huang, you and the Empress let Hua Ji and others spy on Li Hong from time to time, and he naturally retaliated against these people." Xincheng looked at Hanaji, who was kneeling on the ground and explained.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is true, even if the slave maid has a hundred more guts, he will not dare to privately fabricate a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to you." Hua Ji slammed his head on the ground, took Xincheng's words, and hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, when he comes back, let's see how I clean him up, raise his martial arts, draft the holy decree, and now scold him first." Li Zhi's face softened completely, sat down and drank tea, and then looked at several women, with residual anger on his face.

So he asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" Is there anything difficult I would like to help with? ”

"You can't help." Lan Ling sighed for a long time.

"I can't help? I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the supreme ...... of the Ninety-Five. ”

"That little idiot wants to monetize all the workshops we called him in the first place, can you help with this?" Wu Mei glanced at Li Zhi, now this household is like a yamen who is about to become independent of the Tang Dynasty, and I haven't seen what happened to you, the emperor.

"The matter of the household department, then you can talk about it, find Li Hong for something in this matter, and he will take care of it." As soon as Li Zhi heard that it was the household department and the little idiot's business, he simply pushed 625 and didn't care.

"You can leave it alone, then you can wait for the courtiers in the court to cry to you." Wu Mei rubbed her forehead that hurt a little, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of this, her palms were itchy, and she wanted to beat the little idiot immediately.

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard Wu Mei's words, and hurriedly asked, "Can the matter of the household department still affect other courtiers?" ”

Wu Mei sighed, seeing that Bai Chun hadn't come yet, she simply handed another document in her hand to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took the letter curiously, thinking to himself, the little idiot is still interesting enough, not just to catch him, the father and the emperor's pit, it seems that this trip to the Western Regions, even his mother is in the pit, and instantly ushered in a balance in his heart.

"The household department doesn't have much loss, it's just asking for money, not to mention that the household department is also in accordance with the annual plan formulated by Li Hong himself, and according to the budget allocated by the household department to the four towns of Anxi every year, which does not affect the courtiers." After reading it, Li Zhi said lightly.

Wu Mei was angry for a while, no wonder Li Zhi was able to watch it so easily, for half a day, this was all planned by the little idiot before leaving? At that time, when I talked about cooperation with myself and others, was it also planned?

If Wu Mei knew at this moment that Li Hong not only took money from the Ministry of Households, but also asked for people from the Ministry of Industry, and had already pitted his father once, maybe he could be a little more balanced at this time.

Bai Chun is still dressed in snow-white clothes, and her hair is like Li Hong, tied back all the year round, and she has never been seen coiling her hair.

"The slave maid Bai Chun has seen Your Majesty, the Queen, and the princesses of Xincheng, Chengyang, and Lanling." Bai Chun's whole temperament is becoming more and more indifferent and calm, the previous charm has long disappeared, and now it is replaced by a sense of purity like a snow lotus in the mountains that day.

Wu Mei glanced at the three princesses, so Wu Mei asked: "When I signed the contract with Li Hong, it was indeed stipulated that this was the case, but today this palace summoned you to ask if it is not in accordance with the contract, is it feasible for this palace and others to only give half of the money to that little idiot?" ”

Wu Mei summoned Bai Chun, not because of how important Bai Chun was in her heart, nor because of Bai Chun's transcendent status in Li Hong's Taiyi City.

It's because Wu Mei believes that in addition to herself, who is a mother, I am afraid that only Bai Chun knows Li Hong best. What's more, it's about money, when it comes to money, I'm afraid Bai Chun is better than himself.

So she summoned Bai Chun just to find out if it was not in accordance with the contract she signed with Li Hong at the beginning, but according to her will, it was feasible to only give Li Hong 20% of the money? Is it possible to prevent Li Hong from countering the four of them?

"Back to the queen, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult. Before the slave came, I carefully read the contract you signed with His Royal Highness the Prince, and if you change the contract, it will be useless. Bai Chun took out a contract from his handbag and respectfully handed it to Wu Mei.

Then from the hands of the several eunuchs who came with him, he took the gifts prepared for Wu Mei and the others, and offered them one by one.

Wu Mei flipped through the contract in black and white at will, and it was no different from the one in her hand.

Frowning and thinking about it, Wu Mei didn't know what Li Hong could do if he forced Li Hong to give money according to half of the contract.

"Then tell me, what will happen to him if this palace only gives him half of the money?" As soon as Wu Mei thought of giving Li Hong Sicheng the money directly according to the contract, she felt a little painful.

Just now, she summed up with the three rich women in Chang'an City, if the four of them all gave money according to the contract signed with Li Hong, it would be equivalent to giving Li Hong the money for the construction of six or seven percent of the Daming Palace.

This money is the sum of the four of them in the past four years after signing the contract with Li Hong.

As for the remaining sixty percent, according to the little idiot's statement at the beginning, half of it was the cash that the four of them really paid out of their pockets, as well as part of the loan from the royal bank.

The other half was in a trance, hazy and hazy, and was cashed out by what real estate mortgage Li Hong said, in short, it was mortgaged from the royal bank.

At the beginning, the four of them thought that Li Hong finally stopped talking about his own people, and was finally willing to partner with them to do business sincerely, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Bai Chun looked at the queen and the three princesses, and couldn't bear to hit them, but thinking about Li Hong's virtue, he still said honestly: "If you only give 20%, then your estates in other places in Datang will belong to His Royal Highness the Prince, and you will automatically lose the workshop that continues to manage and operate cooperation." ”

"What?" Lanling was the first to stand up, patted the table and waited for his beautiful eyes and asked, "Are you saying that if we don't give money, then my other manors will be his Li Hong's?" ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, to be exact, it belongs to the Royal Bank." Bai Chun explained.

"What's the difference? The money village is his Li Hong's alone, what is the difference between giving the money village and giving it to him? Xincheng couldn't sit still either, and stood up and asked.

"Uh......." Xincheng asked Bai Chun, Bai Chun thought about it, and said with difficulty: "To be exact, there is indeed no difference, but according to the documents, these manors should be under the name of Qian Zhuang, not the personal name of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"That's the difference?" Chengyang felt his voice change tone.

"That's true." Bai Chun said.

Chengyang, Xincheng, and Lanling signed a contract with Li Hong at the beginning to make cotton clothes, how to provide cotton clothes to the border army soldiers every year, and how to allocate funds to them.

But the shares here, Li Hong Yicheng does not want, but there is a mandatory requirement in the contract, and Li Hong needs to be paid in a lump sum after four years, and forty percent of the sales are cash.

As for the purchase of manpower and other equipment, the three princesses couldn't come up with so much money at once, so they were instigated by Li Hong to squeeze it to the royal money bank in the name of the manor, and borrowed money from the money bank to build it.
