Chapter 1291: Complaint
However, Li Chengqian still underestimated the weight of one million yuan in Datang, and one million yuan in Datang was not equal to one million yuan in later generations.
The grain price of doumi Wuwen has always been converted into modern soft sister coins, that is, 5,500 yuan, that is to say, a copper plate in Datang is equivalent to five yuan and five in modern times.
Then multiply one million by one thousand and then multiply by five .5 thousand, and the result is 5.5 billion.
The eldest grandson Wuji is a great man in Datang, a top royal prince, and Li Er's brother who grew up together, but even so, the funds equivalent to 5.5 billion yuan in later generations are not something that can be borrowed.
After all, the Tang Dynasty has just been established not long ago, and even if the eldest grandson can be greedy, he can't be greedy for so much money, and one million yuan is a pain in his bones.
So after receiving the letterhead from the housekeeper Lao Zhou, the eldest grandson found the eldest grandson queen without thinking about it.
"Minister, eldest grandson Wuji, see the queen mother!"
"Isn't my brother going to kill my little sister with so much courtesy, so big brother should hurry up." Empress Eldest Sun personally stepped forward to help Eldest Sun Wuji, but her heart was full of doubts. It is said that the eldest grandson Wuji has never made such a big gift when he came to see him even in the palace, what happened today?
"Sister, Brother Wei came this time because I want to talk to you about some clever things." After the big gift, the eldest grandson Wuji opened the conversation, and the target was directly aimed at Li Chengqian, a typical salute before the soldiers.
"Qian'er? What's wrong with Qian'er? But what did he do to offend his brother? Empress Eldest Sun was not surprised in the slightest, as if she was used to having someone come to her to complain.
And in fact, it is true, Li Chengqian, a guy who is not worry-free, causes trouble twice in three days, and it is already common for people to be found as parents, and the eldest grandson queen has even seen it more than the eldest grandson Wuji's way of complaining.
So in her opinion, it seems that the matter this time is not serious.
"Sister, do you know what Gao Ming has been busy with lately?" The eldest grandson Wuji did not mention the matter of borrowing money, but asked the eldest grandson empress about Li Chengqian's movements.
"Brother can just say it directly, my little sister doesn't know more about Qian'er's affairs than you."
"Gao Ming withdrew 500,000 yuan in cash from the housekeeper of my house last week before the tenth day, does my sister know about this?"
With the previous inquiry, the fact that Eldest Sun Wuji mentioned the matter of 500,000 Guan at this time represents a kind of concern, not a complaint. Although it does not change the facts of the complaint, it can make people feel less abrupt and easier to accept.
But despite this, Empress Changsun was taken aback and stood up directly from her chair: "What? 500,000? Brother is saying that Qian'er took 500,000 yuan from you before the tenth day? ”
500,000 guan is easy to say, but in terms of the purchasing power of the people during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, this is already an astronomical amount, and Empress Changsun is obviously frightened by this amount of money.
"More than 500,000 guan, if you count the steel owed on credit, add it up before and after, I'm afraid there are millions of guan." Since it came to this, the eldest grandson Wuji simply didn't even hide the previous part, and directly told it all.
At this moment, the eldest grandson queen couldn't sit still anymore, her hands were staggered and clenched together, and she frowned and said, "Why did my brother say it now?" That's 500,000 pieces of steel, didn't you ask him where you wanted to use it when you lent it to him? ”
"At that time, it was the Research Agency that paid for the steel, and I didn't think about it so much and let the housekeeper arrange it, and I didn't expect that Gao Ming would give so much credit, if I knew...... Alas! Eldest Sun Wuji sighed.
Speaking of which, Changsun Wuji knows where the steel goes, otherwise he would not be able to give the steel out on credit, after all, those steel are ordnance if they are processed a little, and he can't let the steel flow out of his hands so much even if he has 10,000 guts.
But why didn't the eldest grandson Wuji say it when he knew where he was going? In fact, it is very simple, the eldest grandson just wants Li Chengqian to be beaten.
Concealing the whereabouts of steel worth 500,000 guan is enough to arouse Li Er's suspicions, and even if he knows that Li Chengqian is taking these things to build railways and trains, he will definitely beat them first.
As for why, it goes without saying that everyone can understand it - there is no need!
Some people also say that the eldest grandson Wuji is not afraid of causing unnecessary trouble? Aren't you afraid that Li Chengqian will hold a grudge?
To be honest, the eldest grandson is not afraid, because the left and right are just a matter of a board, even if Li Chengqian is beaten, he can only accept his fate, and in exchange for a million yuan for a beating, Comrade Xiao Li took a big advantage anyway.
Yes, the old eldest grandson just wanted to exchange one million guan for Li Chengqian to be beaten, and the old grandson knew very well that he should not come back. In this case, it is better to be generous, don't want the money, let Lao Li beat that bastard boy.
In addition, some people will ask, so why didn't the eldest grandson Wuji go to Li Er, he had to come to find the eldest grandson queen, isn't it more direct and convenient to find Li Er directly for such a matter than to find the eldest grandson?
It seems to be true, but don't forget, that's one million yuan, if you don't count the nine years that old Li Yuan was the emperor, in fact, Li Eryi's department has only been in power for nine years.
Nine years, one million, what kind of number is that? The eldest grandson Wuji even had a hundred guts, and he didn't dare to talk to Li Er directly about this matter, which meant that he directly admitted that he was rich and rivaled the country.
Although Li Er probably already knew that he was very rich, as long as it was not through his eldest grandson Wuji personally and admitting it to his face, everything was easy to say, and everything could be regarded as a rumor.
That's why Eldest Sun Wuji would come directly to Empress Eldest Sun instead of Li Er.
From the beginning of the inquiry to the later ignorance, almost every word, every action, the eldest grandson Wuji has its own purpose, after all, there is only the wrong name, and there is no wrong nickname - the eldest grandson old fox.
Therefore, in the evening of the same day, Lao Li made another record for Li Chengqian in his account book, planning to wait until he returned to Beijing to calculate the old account and the new account for him.
Empress Changsun is also very helpless about such an ending, but she can't help but say this, after all, it involves 500,000 yuan in cash and 500,000 yuan worth of steel, if there is really any problem here, it is not a good thing for Li Chengqian or Li Er.
And what about Li Chengqian? Comrade Xiao Li, who had just borrowed 500,000 guan, did not expect that the eldest grandson and old fox would be so ruthless, and would rather not have 1 million guan than let the old man beat him up to get angry, so after getting 500,000 guan, he immediately began the work of land acquisition and railway laying.
