But a group of old guys still underestimated the shamelessness of a certain prince, only to see Li Chengqian smile faintly, and said tepidly: "Everyone, you just calculated the money for burning coal, but why don't you count the money for the construction of the factory in this palace?" So how much does Hongu need to invest in such a large power plant? ”

It's a bit confusing to ...... how much money is needed to invest in a power plant.

Of course, this is not to say that the money spent by Li Chengqian to build the factory is really impossible to find out, the main reason is that no one originally mentioned this matter, after all, this kind of audit is too offensive to people, and a group of old people like the same will not take the initiative to bring it up.

"Actually, if you want me to say, the main reason is that your electricity consumption during this time is too great, in fact, you can turn off some unused lights at night, and you don't need to take care of your home at all, you still need to sleep at night, and it doesn't make sense to make it look like the day, you say?"

After listening to Li Chengqian's suggestion, some old people who did not install electric lights because of the distance voted in favor of him: "That's right, I don't know how to save some resources for the country, you say that you people, all day long, even the back garden is lit as if it were daytime, isn't this?" Our Datang has a lot of coal, so it's not like that, right? ”

"Well, if I want me to say not only to collect money, but also to charge them a little more, this day they are scolded, I don't even know the north, get a big bulb to hang so high, the old man who shines at home feels dazzling."

People, in fact, is this virtue, do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness, those old guys who have not had the opportunity to install electric lights are naturally angry, and now when they see them paying the money, one by one immediately follow the fun.

As for the old goods that should be paid, in fact, they only have a conceptual problem, thinking that this light bulb is the same as a candle, a one-time consumption thing, as long as they buy it back, they don't need to incur other costs.

As a result, they didn't expect to collect money after a month, which made them a little unacceptable, although these old men didn't care about the hundred and ten dollars.

"The old man doesn't care, the old man has no money anyway."

"If you don't have money, you don't use electricity, and the money in this palace doesn't come from the wind." Li Chengqian said nonchalantly.

As a monopoly industry, he is fully qualified to say this.

……

It was night, the whole city was blackout, except for the bright lights in the palace, all the courtiers' homes were dark, and sure enough, it was in response to Li Chengqian's words, since there is no money, then don't use electricity.

Countless old men spent a night of 'pitch black', of course, the 'pitch black' here does not refer to the kind of black that cannot be seen, but to the previous black illuminated by candles.

After using the electric light for a month, they had long been accustomed to the feeling of brightness, and the sudden return to the previous life of lighting candles made the old man very uncomfortable, and it took less than five days to pay all the money that should have been paid.

"Brother Prince, you still have a way, this trick is really powerful!" Xiao Wu held the account book in his hand and said as he flipped through it.

"These old guys are always old qualifications, and it's really hard to deal with!" Li Chengqian sighed, smacked his lips and said, "But if you don't suppress them, it is estimated that it will be even more difficult to collect this money in the future." ”

"Hmph, no matter what, I think Brother Prince is doing the right thing, why should they let them use electricity for nothing without paying a penny." Cheng Lin sat on the side, peeling an apple with the knife that Lao Cheng gave her daughter, and didn't care that her daughter rolled her eyes in frustration on the side.

When it was finished, he handed it to Li Xiaoxiang, and then picked up an apple and continued to peel it.

"That's what you say, but Your Highness should still be careful, those old men are not so easy to deal with, don't unite like before." Su Mei's temperament was a little soft, and she was a little worried about Li Chengqian's approach.

"No problem, Brother Crown has a way to deal with them. Besides, it's only a few dollars, each family is only a hundred, and it seems that it will be reduced by half next month, and those old guys don't need to toss for this money at all. Cheng Lin peeled an apple again and handed it to her daughter.

Among the women, she is the only one who has a good ability, the knife is more slippery than chopsticks, and this kind of thing is naturally the right thing to do, and it has all become her job.

"If so, that's good!" Su Mei thought about it, and thought that she was too worried, so she shook her head with a smile.

……

At this time, in the Daming Palace, the old man seemed to have noticed Li Chengqian's long-term way of making money, and then thinking about the previous things, Lao Li had to feel that this little bastard was indeed a good hand at making money, and money was like dirt on the side of the road to him, so he just wanted to go over and grab a handful.

And this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that this kid made money and didn't make the country poor, on the contrary, Datang is getting richer and richer now, to the extent that he is so rich that he doesn't know what to do.

Fight? It seems that there are no enemies around, and I can't fight if I want to.

Repair the palace? Where to repair? The old palace in Luoyang has been repaired twice, the Taiji Palace has also been repaired twice, and the Daming Palace has just been built, so there is no need to repair it again.

Build a railway? That thing is now completely self-sufficient, and sometimes there is even a surplus.

Build a concrete road? This can be had, but it doesn't seem to cost much, and there is no need for any extra expenses other than paying the workers.

Making ordnance? This can be had, but why do you need so much ordnance without fighting? The firearm has now basically spread to the Sixteen Guards, and even the government army in the Gyeonggi region has begun to change their outfits, so it doesn't seem interesting to continue to invest a lot of money.

Thinking about this pile and one thing after another, the old man found that he had nothing to do.

The bored old man looked around in the study, and by chance, the old man saw a picture hanging in the corner of the wall, a map of the world drawn by Li Chengqian by chance a few years ago.

Lao Tzu wants to go to the sea to see what the world is really like.

Somehow, the old man had the idea in his heart, 'The world is so big, Lao Tzu wants to go and see it'.

But...... What should I do when I go out? Can you come back? This picturesque country was built down little by little by him with his own hands, can he really give up like this?

Li Er hesitated again, he knew how Yang Guang died, and he also knew that many emperors in history had never returned to the chair that belonged to them because they went out to travel, so did he have to follow their old path?

Comrade Li felt very embarrassed, although Li Chengqian had always shown a dispensable attitude towards the throne, but he had to guard against this son a little.

Forget it, let's do this for the time being, and discuss it with my eldest wife when I have time, and then talk about it if the conditions are possible. ()
