Three days later, Tongtian Palace.

Wu Sansi knelt on the ground and said generously: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Sanyang Palace costs tens of millions of yuan, and it is a pity that it is so empty. ”

"Huh?" When Wu Zetian heard this, his face sank at that time, and he said coldly: "Could it be that you want me to be lucky in Sanyang Palace again?" The original stabbing case hasn't been solved yet. ”

"Where, Your Majesty misunderstood. Sanyang Palace has a series of assassination cases of the prince, the assassination of His Majesty, borrowing 10,000 guts from Weichen, I don't dare to put you in danger! ”

Wu Zetian's face turned slightly pale, and he said, "Then King Liang, what do you mean?" ”

"Weichen is thinking, one of the Sanyang Palace is too far away from Luoyang, and His Majesty is very inconvenient to visit. The other is that Songshan Mountain is steep, and thieves are easy to mix. Therefore, Sanyang Palace is really not suitable to be His Majesty's palace anymore. In that case, it is better to ...... it Waste utilization? ”

"How is waste reused?"

Weichen asked for a new palace for His Majesty on Wan'an Mountain, not far from Luoyang, which was called "Xingtai Palace". All the wood used in Xingtai Palace is made of old wood from Sanyang Palace. Wan'an Mountain is gentle, and there is no worry about thieves getting in. In this way, it does not disturb the people, does not waste materials, and provides His Majesty with a place to recuperate, wouldn't it be the best of all three? ”

The best of all three!

As soon as Wu Zetian heard Wu Sansi's idea, he understood that this matter would definitely not be perfect.

Yes, indeed, Xingtai Palace uses the wood of Sanyang Palace, which saves the people the work of cutting. However, the wood doesn't have long legs, is it possible that you can walk from Songshan Mountain to Wan'an Mountain by yourself? To put it bluntly, it doesn't depend on the people to transport? This is even more disturbing.

Of course, then again, disturb the people, disturb the people. Her Majesty the Empress felt that her time was running out, and she really didn't care much about this kind of thing.

In addition, she is old and can't stand the fatigue of driving and horses, even if there is no Sanyang Palace assassination case, she doesn't want to go to Sanyang Palace again. If you can build a palace not far from Luoyang, of course, it is the best.

Also, the word "Wan'an" in Wan'an Mountain is really a good mouth, and Her Majesty the Empress liked it as soon as he heard it.

So, after a little thought, she nodded and said, "This matter is feasible." Why don't you hand over this Xingtai Palace to King Liang to supervise the construction? ”

"That's what Wechen means." Wu Sansi bowed slightly, and said: "In addition, Weichen has a small idea, I don't know if it is suitable or not, please make a decision for Your Majesty." ”

"What's the idea?"

"In the Taoist classics, the emperor's most respectful expression for the gods is to worship gold. If His Majesty can build an unprecedented golden platform in Xingtai Palace, will it attract the gods to descend? ”

"Golden Terrace?" Wu Zetian's eyes lit up and said, "But I don't know how much gold you want?" ”

"Weichen asked the national teacher Hu Chao to calculate, at least in line with the number of Tiangang, 360,000 taels!"

"That's ......"

Hearing this number, Wu Zetian was a little dumbfounded at that time.

Without it, the production of gold is too low these days. Meishan is a famous gold source in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the amount of gold offered to the imperial court in a year is only 24,000 taels. This gold had to be cast into all kinds of gold and silver vessels, rewarded by ministers, and made into jewelry, and very few could be used at will.

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said, "In the treasury and the inner treasury, a total of more than 100,000 taels of gold can be taken out. If I melt away the gold vessels in the palace, I can make up forty or fifty thousand taels. ”

Wu Sansi said: "Weichen is not talented, I am willing to offer 50,000 taels to help His Majesty build a golden platform." ”

"Huh?" Wu Zetian was slightly stunned and said, "Where did you get so much gold?" ”

"Since Weichen had this idea, he has been collecting gold everywhere, and now he has collected a total of 50,000 taels of gold."

Wu Zetian groaned: "It's rare that King Liang has a filial piety, but what should I do if there is still a gap of 160,000 taels?" ”

Wu Sansi said: "Weichen thinks that he can make Jufenglong Silver Offering. ”

"Jufenglong Silver?" Of course, Wu Zetian had heard of the name of Jufenglong Yinhao, and he understood that this was Cui Geng's industry, so he hesitated: "160,000 taels of gold, can Jufenglong really take it out?" ”

"Jufenglong Silver is the largest money bank today, although it is not easy to make up 160,000 taels of gold, but the idea of squeezing, there will always be."

"However, this Jufenglong Silver Account has a close relationship with Cui Fengchen, so I can't persecute too much, right?"

Wu Sansi said disapprerovingly: "What's this? Didn't the court ask him to gather 100,000 taels of gold in vain? We can exchange the money for it. Could it be that the treasury can't take out 1.6 million yuan? ”

During the Tang Dynasty (Wu Zhou), the general equivalent was copper coins and cloth, not to mention how much or how much it wanted, at least Her Majesty the Empress took it out unambiguously.

Wu Zetian said: "This is reasonable. This errand is entrusted to you for 1.6 million ...... Ah, no, two million taels of gold in exchange for 160,000 taels of gold. ”

"Wechen obeys."

Wu Zetian's plan was quite good, 160,000 taels of gold, but it was worth 1.6 million yuan. Although the price of gold will definitely rise later, I will give two million yuan, which is enough to call benevolence and righteousness.

However, she never expected that this matter was a conspiracy of Wu Sansi.

The idea was Lu Xuan's idea.

Although Cao Yuechan and Cao Hao don't care much about Lu Xuan, Cao Tianjiao has always wanted to marry the "older leftover girl" in the family, so he is very enthusiastic about Lu Xuan, a young man with a good background and handsome appearance. Even when Lu Xuan asked how much gold Jufenglong could muster, Cao Tianjiao gave an approximate figure of 160,000 taels.

It's easy to have this data.

Wu Sansi sent someone to pretend to be Hu Shang, and first deposited more than one million yuan of money in Jufenglilong. Then, on the grounds that it was inconvenient for him to go to Persia to bring copper coins and cloth, he asked to exchange one million of them for 100,000 taels of gold.

In the daily business of Juhonglong, there are not many places where gold is used. Besides, isn't there still tens of thousands of taels left, it can always be turned around.

Therefore, Cao Yuechan agreed to this request after a little consideration.

Then there was the scene where Wu Sansi went to Tongtian Palace.

Now, Wu Sansi has received the holy decree, and immediately ordered Lu Xuan to lead a team of palace guards to come in the direction of Jufenglong Yinhao.

"Oh, isn't this a virtuous son-in-law?"

Cao Tianjiao didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, and he saw Lu Xuan riding a tall horse upstairs with a team of sergeants rushing in his direction, and hurriedly rushed downstairs to greet him.

Lu Xuan turned over and dismounted, sneered and said: "If it is really a virtuous son-in-law, it is easy to talk about today's matter, but I am afraid that someone will not recognize it!" ”

Cao Tianjiao immediately heard that this was wrong, and said, "You mean Yuechan?" How? The two of you are arguing again? Alas, I want the old man to say, what is the noise? Both of you are not too young, so it's only right to get your own son quickly! ”

"Borrowing the auspicious words of the shopkeeper Cao, then you will invite the little lady Cao down now, right?"

"This ......" Cao Tianjiao also knew that Cao Yuechan didn't think much of Lu Xuan, so he couldn't do it: "What are you asking her to do?" The girl is thin-skinned and embarrassed, so you better go upstairs and find her by yourself. ”

"Ah, no!" Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I have to let Little Lady Cao come down today." If she comes down, it's fine, if she doesn't......"

"How?"

"I can't say that, I can only ...... It's business! ”
