Chapter 47: Who Benefits?

A quiet and chic side hall, outside the window is a pool, the pool is covered with emerald green leaves, the sight through the window, the sandalwood in it is curling, far and near, there is a faint sound of the piano, melodious ringing in the ears. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now, it is the time of noon, and the entire East Palace seems to be quiet, except for the faint sound of the piano, I don't know where it comes from.

However, in addition to these two voices, there is another voice, and that is the sound of Li Chengqian's reading in a suppressed voice coming from the side hall at this moment.

This guy was really grounded, since Zhao Chen met Li Chengqian, especially after Li Chengqian completely accepted Qian Zhuang, Zhao Chen has seen this guy, the sound of flipping through the account book, and he has seen the scene of flipping the book there.

But now, through the open window, Zhao Chen actually saw that Li Chengqian at this time was holding a book in his hand, sitting behind a desk, reading in a low tone, which made Zhao Chen feel an indescribable awkwardness!

"But is Chang'an coming?" It seemed that he heard the movement outside, and Li Chengqian, who was originally inside, concentrating on reading, suddenly raised his head, looked outside with a solemn face, and said: "It just so happens that there is a problem here, I want to ask Chang'an Hou!" ”

Unfamiliar tone, unfamiliar words, even called him Chang'an Hou, instead of the familiar Brother Chen, and the self-proclaimed self-proclaimed from me has become a cold lonely.

Hearing Li Chengqian's unfamiliar opening, Zhao Chen's pace that was originally moving forward suddenly stopped, and then, his eyes looked at the outside of the side hall suspiciously, and finally, his eyes stayed at the door of the side hall, a dead eunuch.

This guy is different from the other eunuchs in the East Palace at first glance, and from the eyes that dare to throw at Zhao Chen from time to time, you can feel that this guy is obviously the person next to Li Er.

As for why it appears in the East Palace, the reason is naturally self-evident!

"I don't know His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you have to ask?" After thinking about the reason, Zhao Chen, who had stopped originally, continued to walk towards the side hall, and when he entered the side hall, Zhao Chen also pretended to be confused, and asked very politely according to Li Chengqian's tone.

"That's the case, Lone has been reading the poetry carefully in the past few days, but there are a few things that are not clear!" In the side hall, looking at Shi Shiran and Zhao Chen who came in from outside, Li Chengqian said serious words on his lips, but a smile appeared on his face, and while winking at Zhao Chen, he lowered his voice and complained: "Brother Chen, you are here!" ”

"Your Highness is polite, but Your Highness should also understand that Weichen has always only been proficient in Gewu and arithmetic!" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Chen suddenly raised his voice and said something outside, and then, he suddenly lowered his voice, followed Li Chengqian's example, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?" ”

"Alas, it's hard to put into words!" Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, Li Chengqian's face that was still looking at Zhao Chen just now, squeezing his eyebrows, suddenly collapsed, and he shook his head at Zhao Chen and said with a sigh.

"Your Highness, Gonggong Xu said that he would leave for a while!" Li Chengqian's words fell, and before Zhao Chen could speak, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and then, the eunuch who ran to intercept Zhao Chen walked in from outside, and said with a flattering face to Li Chengqian, who had a sad face.

"Well, it's kind of interesting!" Hearing the words of the dead eunuch in front of him, Li Chengqian immediately closed the book in his hand, as if he had suddenly come to life, and pointed to a futon opposite Zhao Chen, and then, before Zhao Chen sat down, he was already paralyzed, and sat on the futon he had just sat on.

"Grandpa Xu is a person sent by His Majesty?" Seeing Li Chengqian's sudden expression, Zhao Chen couldn't help but shake his head, sat on the futon with a wry smile, looked at Li Chengqian curiously and asked.

"What if not?" Li Chengqian suddenly sat there loosely as if he was paralyzed, and after hearing Zhao Chen's words, he suddenly had a bitter and hateful expression, and said bitterly at Zhao Chen: "Brother Chen, you don't know, I've been under surveillance for the past few days!" ”

"You haven't told you what's going on?" Looking at Li Chengqian's performance just now, even if he doesn't need to explain, Zhao Chen can probably guess how Li Chengqian has been doing these days, and it is estimated that he is really fed up, otherwise, he will not vomit bitterness at him.

"Ha, you may not believe what I said!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Chengqian suddenly chuckled, with a look of ridicule on his face, and said to Zhao Chen: "A few days ago, I was sued by Mr. and a few of them from my father!" ”

"......" On the way when he first came, Zhao Chen had already thought about many reasons why Li Chengqian might be grounded, but the only thing he didn't expect was that he was sued by Li Er.

Moreover, it is still Li Chengqian's gentlemen, this is too special nonsense, after Zhao Chen heard Li Chengqian's words, the whole person was suddenly there, and for a while, he was speechless.

"Why?" After being stunned for a long time, Zhao Chen could be regarded as having come to his senses, looking at Li Chengqian, who was smiling bitterly at him, and asked strangely.

"If you don't want to make progress, you will waste your studies, and you will lose your dignity!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Chengqian suddenly stretched out his hands at Zhao Chen helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "The most important thing is that my father listened to the gentlemen, and at the end, he also rewarded a few gentlemen!" ”

"It's understandable that you have abandoned your studies!" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at Li Chengqian puzzled, and said, "But this is not enterprising, and it is not decent, where to start?" ”

"It's the same thing!" When Zhao Chen's words fell, Li Chengqian, who was originally listless, suddenly sat up straight with some excitement, stretched out his hand and patted the table, and said to Zhao Chen: "Actually, the gentlemen just see that I am scheming in the money bank all day long, becoming a philistine and utilitarian, and they just want me to give up the money bank!" ”

"Well, now I finally get it!" Zhao Chen was still a little confused before, but now when he heard Li Chengqian's summary, he suddenly understood that in the final analysis, it was the essence of Confucianism.

Li Chengqian's gentlemen, in fact, are, in the final analysis, several famous Confucians in the court, and these Confucians have always been unaccustomed to being businessmen.

Although Qianzhuang belongs to the imperial court, starting from the overall situation, it is serving the entire Tang Dynasty, but in the final analysis, it is still a place with a strong brass smell, and there is no difference between doing business all day long.

It is estimated that these Confucian people have long been dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's obsession with Qianzhuang, and the reason why they have endured it until now is also for Li Er's sake.

"It doesn't matter to the gentlemen, but it's a little bit of a pain for me!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his head, let out a long sigh, and said with a sad face: "These days are the busiest time for Qianzhuang, but unfortunately, I am trapped in the palace, and I am just in a hurry!" ”

"Busy with what?" Knowing what happened, it was not the same thing as what he was worried about, Zhao Chen couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, just heard Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Chen suddenly pouted and smiled, and said: "If you want me to say, Your Majesty is right to ban you, you can't leave you, you can't operate!" ”

When he said this, without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, Zhao Chenfu looked at Li Chengqian again and said meaningfully: "Don't forget your identity, you are the current Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Of course I do!" knew the meaning of Zhao Chen's words, but Li Chengqian still looked at Zhao Chen a little excitedly and said, "It's okay, wait until I'm busy for this time!" ”

"Money has been really busy lately?" Seeing that Li Chengqian looked overly excited, it was Zhao Chen, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, slightly stunned, so he had to look at Li Chengqian and asked curiously.

"The rice in the south of the Yangtze River is preparing to be transported to Guanzhong these days!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Chengqian suddenly took a breath, calmed down slightly, and then looked at Zhao Chen and said, "This matter is the result of more than a year of my busy work, so I can't just hand it over to the people below!" ”

Jiangnan has a bumper harvest this year, Zhao Chen has long known about this, and said in a sentence from Hu Lu to Zhao Chen's letter, that is, even if Guanzhong suffers from drought again this year, and there is no harvest, just the grain in Jiangnan alone can make Guanzhong rich in food and clothing!

"You know what?" When he said this, Li Chengqian didn't know what he thought, and in his eyes, there was a sudden look of indescribable excitement, and he danced at Zhao Chen and said: "This plan, I have been thinking about it since I took over Jiangnan last year, don't they control the price of grain?" Aren't they preferring to hold on to the grain, to let it rot in the granary, and watch the people not be able to afford it? ”

When he said this, Li Chengqian's body couldn't help but lean back slightly, let out a cold snort from his mouth, squinted his eyes, and said: "Okay, this time, let them see how Lone made their grain rot in the warehouse little by little!" ”

"Well said, and then?" Zhao Chen's fingers were trembling slightly, his eyes looked at the excited Li Chengqian, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his tone seemed extremely calm and asked.

"The results speak for themselves!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Chengqian suddenly turned around, with a face that couldn't hide his confidence, and said to Zhao Chen: "There are still many places in Jiangnan that need more capital injection, and of course someone has to come out of these capitals!" ”

"I'm asking you......" Hearing that Li Chengqian hadn't realized the problem, Zhao Chen's heart trembled with anger, but he still tried to suppress his anger, took a slight breath, looked at Li Chengqian and asked: "There is so much grain in Jiangnan, once it pours into Guanzhong, how much do you want to overwhelm the price of grain?" ”

"And ......" When he said this, without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, Zhao Chen took another breath, and then asked: "There is something I don't quite understand, whose price is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pressing?" Who grows the grain? Grain merchants? Or are they the noble families? (To be continued.) )
