The discussion between Li Er and Empress Changsun was no different from the past, it all ended in failure, Li Chengqian's son not only had no way to do it, but even Empress Changsun didn't know how to teach him.

So although Empress Changsun felt sorry for her son, she could only sigh in the face of the old man's question about how to teach.

However, as a party to the case, Li Chengqian didn't feel how much he had let Li Er and his eldest grandson worry about it, and the large number of copper coins piled up together made him feel full of happiness.

The shameless old guys finally fulfilled their original promise and sent the copper coins to the treasury of the East Palace, although it was not the full amount of 300,000 yuan, but at least 50,000 yuan.

Li Chengqian knew that this was the follow-up to the 'Seven Stars Continuation of Life' in Lao Qin's house some time ago, and those old guys generally thought that they were prepared, and wanted to lay a good foundation to prevent them from opening their mouths to beg for help if something happened in the future.

There is nothing wrong with this, and the future will be discussed in the future, Li Chengqian believes that in Datang, except for the old man's request that he is powerless to resist, no one else is enough to worry about.

"Old money. How many families are sending money over now? Outside the treasury of the East Palace, Li Chengqian put his hands behind his back, looked at the mountains of copper coins inside, and pulled the old money from the previous steward and asked.

"Your Highness, there are twenty-six in total, and there are a total of two million and 1,000 copper coins." Lao Qian really lived up to his surname, and he gave an accurate number without turning over the account book.

"How many nobles are there in the Chang'an family? Who hasn't arrived? Li Chengqian roughly estimated the amount of money sent by each family, and asked quietly.

"There are more than 100 families in total, but only more than 40 are qualified to participate, so there are about more than 10 families who have not arrived." Lao Qian didn't know what Li Chengqian wanted to do, so he could only answer truthfully.

"Send someone to inform you that the day after tomorrow, that is, on the twenty-fifth day of the first month, all the families and nobles who want to participate in the railway company must hand over the start-up capital, and those who do not pay it after the expiration date will be treated as abstention."

Since someone took the lead in paying the money, Li Chengqian was not afraid that someone would repay the debt, and when it came to money, I believe that if someone defaulted on the debt, he would definitely be attacked by other families, and when the time came, there would naturally be other people who would help rectify those who did not pay the money on time.

The railway company is joint-stock system, that is, the fewer shareholders the better, if there are only two shareholders it is basically a fifty-fifty split. Therefore, after setting the deadline, I believe that those families and nobles who have paid the money will spontaneously supervise others, and there will be no dissatisfaction.

"Yes, the minister will deal with it in a while." Lao Qian took out a small notebook from his body, took out the pencil sandwiched in it, and wrote down Li Chengqian's instructions just now.

If it weren't for the fact that the environment and clothing here were very different from those of later generations, Lao Qian's performance would almost be comparable to that of professional secretaries in later generations.

"By the way, how is the railroad being built now? Where exactly is it repaired? After the money matter was finished, Li Chengqian looked at Yang Yuxin again.

"Because of the relationship between Chinese New Year's Eve and the Shangyuan Festival, the railway has been in the stage of suspension some time ago, and spring ploughing is about to begin, and most of the people no longer come out to participate in the construction of the railway, so compared with before His Majesty returned, only less than five miles were built." Yang Yuxin talked in detail about the progress of the construction of the railway.

"It's a lack of labor again." Li Chengqian sighed, looked at the beautiful Taiji Palace not far away, and felt a little stunned in his heart.

But there is no way, no matter what, the labor matter needs the old man to find a way to solve it, this is Chang'an, not Shandong, and a large number of people's husbands or prisoners of war are not something that he, Li Chengqian, a prince, can decide.

After suffering countless losses, Li Chengqian also learned a little smarter, and began to realize that the identity of the prince is not a panacea, and many times the old man's feelings must be considered.

It was night, and the old man's dinner had just been served, and Li Chengqian unexpectedly appeared in front of him.

"What are you doing again? Didn't those official positions be promised to you? His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Chengqian, who was staring at the table full of delicious food, and asked with a suppressed anger.

"Father, the son is not here to ask for an official position this time, it is really that there is too much shortage of people in railway construction during this time, so I have to ask you to transfer some manpower." Li Chengqian didn't wait for the old man's instructions, and took the initiative to ask for a pair of dishes and chopsticks from the palace maid, holding them in his hands with a pitiful face, and talking about the railway, but staring at the various delicacies in front of the old man.

"You sit down first." His Majesty Li Er, who was uncomfortable by Li Chengqian, finally compromised and let Li Chengqian sit beside him: "Your queen mother will also come over in a while, if you pretend to be this face again, believe it or not, I will turn around and let you have only food and no vegetables." ”

"Erchen understands, but father, our railway really can't be repaired, this looks like spring ploughing, the people have to go home to farm, after spring ploughing, flood control, and summer ......" Li Chengqian took out a dead face move, perfunctory this old Li, and pulled the topic back to building the railway.

As for the threat of the old man, anyway, if he doesn't eat well, he will take his family to Taiji Palace to eat together, and it is estimated that the old man will not kick himself out, and besides, the old man is not allowed to eat here, so there is still a mother, and the eldest grandson will definitely not lack him to eat.

Moreover, Su Mei's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, even if the old man can't bear to starve his son, he must not be able to bear to starve his grandson, so the old man's threat to food is infinitely close to zero for Li Chengqian.

"Stop, just say what you're going to do, don't nag anymore." His Majesty Li Er also knew that it was useless for him to threaten Li Chengqian with food, so he simply put this topic aside and asked him directly about his purpose.

"People, father, no one is building the railway." Li Chengqian spread his hands and said.

"Aren't there still a lot of prisoners of war on the Goguryeo side, you kid won't have counted them in, right?" His Majesty Li Er's cold face pierced Li Chengqian's helplessness.

"But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the railway can't be delayed for a day now, and every day of delay is a day of inability to get along with money, father." Li Chengqian said bluntly.

Anyway, there were no outsiders in the room, Xiao Li simply spread out the topic and said: "The sooner the railway is built, the sooner the investment can be recovered, and now in order to rush the construction period, we are all hiring people near Chang'an at a high price. ”

His Majesty Li Er listened to Li Chengqian's exposition quietly, and only after a long time did he ask lightly: "Do you want to come back with the sixth rate?" ”nt
