Chapter 1736: Lawsuit
than disgusting, who is afraid of whom, disobey the battle. Vertices are updated the fastest
How could Lao Li, who had slept in the pile of corpses, be disgusted by Li Chengqian, a little rabbit cub.
However, Li Er still underestimated Li Chengqian's son, and the degree of disgusting people in the two lives is no worse than that of Lao Li.
In the end, the father and son didn't do much, and the bunch of eunuchs and palace maids in the study couldn't listen to it anymore, and they rushed out several times at once, and they almost didn't spit out the bile with a handful of snot and tears.
……
But jokes aside, business still has to be done, back from the old man asked for a new piece of land, Li Chengqian's engineering team started work again.
In order to find a few more 'people', Li Chengqian specially asked the old man for a small piece of land in each of the rivers around Chang'an, and confidently began to build the reservoir in a big way.
What the? What do you say are you doing to build a reservoir? Naturally, it is used to generate electricity.
The so-called eight rivers around Chang'an refers to the eight rivers around Chang'an, some of which are near and some are far away, but it is enough to show that the water system around Chang'an is abundant.
And since there is an abundance of water, only a fool would continue to use thermal power generation.
Therefore, taking advantage of the old man's urgent need for electricity, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and asked for several pieces of good land at once, which were used to build reservoirs and several power plants by the way.
……
"What? What did you say? Do you need money to use electricity? A month later, enjoying the comfort brought by the electric kang, the old man leaned comfortably on the kang, but was stunned by the words of the eldest grandson.
"Yes, the electricity bill in the palace this month is about 1,000 yuan." Empress Eldest Sun nodded.
"A thousand ......" The old man wanted to beat people again.
In the past, candles were used in the special palace, and even if it was a year, it couldn't use a hundred yuan of lighting money, but now it's good, and more than a thousand yuan a month are put in, isn't this.
So, Li Chengqian, who was hiding quietly on the construction site, was once again called back to the palace by the old man to face the mixed doubles of Li Er and the eldest grandson.
……
"Let's talk about it, what is the name of that electricity bill notice you gave to the palace, I can't tell, watch out for your legs." Seemingly careless, the old man said while sipping tea.
"Electricity is electricity, father, you can't use electricity without paying, right? The electricity didn't come out of thin air, the retainers needed to burn coal, and they also needed to hire workers, which were all money. Li Chengqian was an old man who didn't pay off his debts, and he immediately became anxious.
"Qian'er, you can't use so much money, right?" Empress Eldest Sun asked in a round on the side.
"Queen Mother, this money is not much, think about it, how many lights are there in the palace now, how many were there before, and there is also that kang, which also uses electricity."
Regarding the question of how many lights there are in the palace, not only Li Chengqian is not clear, but even the eldest grandson and Li Er are also unclear.
These two biggest landlords and landlords' wives in the Tang Dynasty have always only lit the lamps and ignored the other masters.
Walking in the palace and finding something dark, he immediately waved his hand, and then a hundred or so light bulbs smashed into it.
So this back and forth, no one knows how many lights there are in the palace, only a lot.
And the old man also felt very embarrassed when he talked about this question, frowning and silent.
In the end, Li Chengqian felt that it was not a meaning, and said: "Father, you don't need to light the lights in this room during the day, it's like you don't need to light candles during the day, you say yes?" ”
"Let's go" As soon as Li Chengqian's voice fell, someone in the palace immediately turned off the lights.
The electric light is easy to use, and the important thing is that this thing is beautiful and can make Lao Li feel happy, so this old man will light it twelve hours a day.
"Why are you still here? It's okay, isn't it? Maybe it was too embarrassing, the old man was silent for a while, and looked at Li Chengqian, who was standing aside in a daze, and asked.
"Huh? Oh, the retainers are retired. Li Chengqian looked at the old man, then at the eldest grandson, and rationally chose to 'escape'.
……
And half a month later, trouble came again.
"Your Majesty, there is a power outage in the old minister's house!"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's charges are too expensive, and he even asked the old minister for two hundred yuan in electricity money."
"Your Majesty......"
After a group of old courtiers under Li Shou made a blind fire for two nights, they finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran to Comrade Li to complain.
But His Majesty Li Er is also depressed, when it comes to the electricity bill, he has paid more than 1,000 yuan, and the little rabbit cub even cheats his own son, not to mention the ministers under the old man.
So this matter went to the court, and Li Chengqian, who was mixed with the construction site, was also designated by the old man to go to the early court.
Although he had probably guessed from the mouth of the servant who came to deliver the letter, why he wanted to go to the court by himself, Li Chengqian did not hesitate.
Originally, this murder pays for life, debts are repaid, and there is nothing wrong with using Lao Tzu's electricity to pay Lao Tzu's electricity bill, just like what I told the old man that day, no one's household appliances come for nothing, and people can't use them in vain.
……
To make a long story short, the next day, Li Chengqian followed the old man and walked to the court with the eighth master's steps.
As soon as the whip sounded, before the chamberlain on duty shouted that something was going on, someone had already walked out, and after glancing at the old man, he said to Li Chengqian: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you explain why you have to charge high electricity bills from your ministers?" ”
"The electricity bill is the electricity bill, where is the high amount not high, have you ever seen a lower charge than the main palace?" Li Chengqian pouted.
There is only one power plant in Mandatang, so naturally he said that how much money is how much, and if it is too expensive, you don't need it, and Lao Tzu didn't ask you to use it.
And at this moment, someone stood up again: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister and others have already bought light bulbs, I don't know why they still have to pay the electricity bill?" ”
"Of course, you have to pay for electricity, it's like if you buy a horse and come home, you always have to feed it some forage, if you don't feed it, you won't work. The same is true for light bulbs, can I understand what this palace said? ”
"Your Highness, even so, your fee is too expensive, isn't it? As far as Lao Chen knows, your power plant should use coal to generate electricity, but no matter how much coal you use, it won't take a few thousand, right? The old man who stood up below pointed to the people in the court as he spoke, meaning that the fees paid by these people added up to thousands of yuan.
And the old man's eyes lit up at this time, and he seemed to have found a loophole in Li Chengqian's words.
Indeed, so much money was collected, but coal was not worth that money, so where did the extra money go? Shouldn't it be reduced?
