Chapter 161: Tricking Li Er into doing business

For Wang Xingxin, if he can really alleviate the eldest grandson's qi disease, even if she lives for a few more years, not to mention anything else, even for him, Li Er and his wife also owe him a great favor.

And this favor is not something that can be paid off with an official title, that is to say, Wang Xingxin will have another layer of talisman in the future, and Li Chengqian, the sad prince, if the eldest grandson queen lives a few more years, maybe he will not change his heart greatly, and he will not think about rebellion.

Similarly, Li Tai, the little fat king of Wei, must not want Li Chengqian's crown prince unscrupulously......

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, how does this Lizheng Hall warm up in winter?"

Li Er heard Wang Xingxin actually ask how to warm his Lizheng Palace: "Ming Shen, of course you use a charcoal basin for heating, but I don't think you don't know, do you mean something else." ”

"Your Majesty is Your Majesty, and the minister does have other intentions, about Niangniang's anger."

After glancing at Empress Changsun, Li Er said with a smile on his face: "Be cautious, speak quickly, as long as you can stop coughing and wheezing, even if you can tear down this palace!" ”

Sure enough, it is a deep love between husband and wife.

"Your Majesty, demolish the political hall? The minister is not so bold, but in the future, Niangniang can no longer use a charcoal basin for heating in the palace, no matter how good the charcoal burning, there will be smoke, and Niangniang's disease is the most smokeless. ”

Sun Simiao, who was still thinking about the prescription on the side: "Your Majesty, what Ming Shen said is very right, Niangniang's qi disease is that she can't withstand the cold, and second, she can't have smoke, and she uses charcoal basins for heating in winter, which is contrary to the two." But since he said so, there must be a way to solve it. ”

This assist couldn't have come at a better time!

"Your Majesty, this problem is actually very easy to solve, since it is a problem of smoke, isn't it okay to discharge the smoke, the minister wanted to partner with General Cheng to do business when he didn't go to Manzhou to quell the rebellion, but it has not been implemented for many reasons. This business is about heating in winter, once it is made, people who can't afford charcoal can also heat in winter, and they will not be able to cut off hot water. This method of heating is not only costly, but more importantly, it can greatly reduce or even eliminate smoke. ”

The last sentence had no smoke and made Li Er a little moved: "Ming Shen, what you said is true?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to lie to you, you can make a honeycomb of crushed stone charcoal, and then put it in the stove designed by the minister, and then connect it to a chimney made of thin iron sheet......"

In the end, Wang Xingxin simply told Li Er about the kang again. 、

"Mingshen, it seems that you still have a lot of things you haven't told me!"

Li Er's words made Wang Xingxin's heart sigh.

"Your Majesty, it's gone, it's really gone, and if General Cheng hadn't come back, the minister would have already made this briquette stove, as well as the fire kang, and when he was conquering the Turks last year, he got the improvised fire dragon in the wounded barracks."

"If it weren't for the fact that the minister's family is destitute now, he will start to get the briquette stove now, and the minister will bring the craftsmen from the house to come over tomorrow to make the kang for His Majesty first, as for the briquette stove, let's wait for General Cheng to come back, but now the minister has no money to get it."

Li Er looked at Wang Xingxin, who was crying poor again, and said with a strange expression: "I see, did you kid take the opportunity to ask me for money again?" Didn't I give you 3,000 last time? ”

"Your Majesty, you also know that there is only one of the minister's guards left this time, and a few of the ten guards sent by the Duke of Yiguo have also died, all of them died for the minister, and the money you gave last time was spent on the pension and their funeral."

"However, if Your Majesty looks at the ministers who are really poor, the ministers will not refuse you to support them again......."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Er with some dodgy eyes, embarrassed.

"Haha, Mingshen, you kid! I guess you have no purpose, the perfume and spirits you made can be said to be the most profitable business in my Datang, and now you are so poor that you come to me to fight the autumn breeze, you can be said to be the poorest earl in my Datang! ”

"Your Majesty, perfume is exchanged for food, and the grain in exchange is made into spirits and then made into alcohol, but the ministers are all for Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, plus General Cheng and others are also thick-skinned, and the extra spirits are divided by them and they don't give money, they are all exchanged for food. The minister can't exchange His Majesty's grain for money! ”

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Wang Xingxin with a pitiful look, and he took out a prescription to cure his qi illness and said a little unbearable: "Your Majesty, Mingshen, this kid is indeed dedicated to you and for the Tang Dynasty, if others had his methods of making money, they would have become extremely rich long ago, how could they be as dedicated to the country as him?" ”

This can be regarded as speaking to Li Er's heart, plus he also wants to use this guy who is always out of tune to deal with the family clan that makes him very dissatisfied......

"Since the queen has said good things to your boy, I will give you another 5,000 yuan, is it enough?"

"Enough, Your Majesty is enough, I thought you could give one, two thousand is good, I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so generous! However, the minister will not let you give so much money in vain, and the minister knows that Your Majesty's money is also squeezed out of your palace's use, and the five thousand ministers will give Your Majesty thirty percent of the shares. ”

Li Er listened to the new word "shares": "What does it mean, explain it to me clearly." ”

"Your Majesty, that is to say, you use 5,000 yuan to buy and sell the briquette stove of the shareholder and General Cheng, and you take 30% of the profits, and you will wait in the palace to collect the money! With money, you don't have to bargain with the minister's father-in-law who is like an old fox and those pedantic old masters in the court all day long. Or maybe you go out and walk around, after all, you have money to travel all over the world, and you can't walk an inch without money! If you use your own money and don't spend a cent on the treasury, those courtiers won't have anything to say, and after two years, you will take your mother out on patrol and stay in the palace all day without panic......"

The more he talked, the more energetic Wang Xingxin didn't see the yearning on the face of the eldest grandson, how many years, she, the most noble woman in the Tang Dynasty, has been staying in this deep palace......

The heartbeat in the heart of Empress Eldest Sun reached a fixed point in Wang Xingxin's last sentence: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Datang is so big, you want to go around .....".

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks what Ming Shen said is very reasonable, Your Majesty, you are a great king, you should not be trapped in this deep palace!"

In his heart, he secretly praised the eldest grandson queen.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang is right, you are the true son of the dragon, the dragon should travel all over the world, how can you be trapped in the shallows, you see that Sun Lao Immortal does not always stay in Chang'an on weekdays, practicing medicine everywhere, traveling all over my Tang Dynasty, you see how strong and long his old man is, how long he lives, maybe Sun Lao Immortal can live to more than 100......"

Sun Simiao heard Wang Xingxin mention his name, and woke up from the prescriptions and said, "Ming Shen, what's the matter with your poor Dao?" ”

"Old fairy, tell Your Majesty if life lies in tourism, oh, it should be life in sports, that is to say, go out for a walk, exercise more, and see more scenery is conducive to longevity."

Sun Simiao pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is some truth in what Ming Shen said, which is in line with the way of health preservation. ”

After getting Sun Simiao's affirmation, Wang Xingxin said demagoguously: "Your Majesty, we can start from a coal stove, let's partner to start a Shengtang Industrial Group Company, and take out all the ideas that can make money, you are the chairman, the minister is the general manager, and the mother is the financial director, we not only make money in Datang, but also make money from other countries.....

Just when Wang Xingxin was talking dryly, Li Er finally spoke: "This matter, you can do it carefully, and let me know what you need, but now it is urgent to cure the queen's qi disease, do you have any other ways to benefit the queen's body?" ”

"Of course there is, tomorrow Your Majesty will give the minister a hundred acres of land, and then bring all the seeds of the white stacks in Chang'an City to the minister, and then find some gardeners who can serve the white stacks, and the ministers can make the people of the Tang Dynasty warm! But now, please give your majesty 500 ducks to the minister, and the minister will give you and the mother and the prince in the palace, and the little princess will make a down jacket, which is very warm! ”

White stacked seeds, that is, cotton, were not fully utilized after being transmitted to the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions, but were planted in the gardens of some large families as an ornamental plant.

"Ming Shen, I ask you, can this white stack still be of such use? White stacked seeds and florists are easy to say, and 100 acres of fields are even better, but can this white stacked seeds really be used to keep warm? Do you know how the people of my Tang Dynasty spend the winter now? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister dares to make a military order, but this white stack is most suitable for planting in the Western Regions, and it can also be planted on both sides of the Yellow River in Shandong, but now the Shandong family is ...... Your Majesty, you have to pick up your pace, you can't bear it any longer. ”

"This is not something you have to think about, I have my own plans, now that it's getting late, don't go back, just stay in the Prince's East Palace!"

Li Er asked him to live in the East Palace, which scared Wang Xingxin unclearly, he knew what kind of person could live in the palace, and the prince's East Palace could also be part of the palace.

"Your Majesty, you better spare the minister, although Xiu'er is pregnant, but the minister is still young, and he doesn't want to be a father-in-law!"

Empress Eldest Sun covered her mouth and smiled: "You child, where do you want to go, Cheng Qian is still young and has not yet married, you can rest assured to live, this palace heard that you invited Cheng Qian to play in your mansion when you got married?" Besides, you're not an outsider, but you're Chengqian's cousin-in-law. ”

At this time, Li Er was already a little tired, so he asked the eunuch to take Wang Xingxin to the East Palace, as for Sun Simiao? Wang Xingxincai doesn't care how an old man lives in the palace......
