In the next few days, Bazhuo had a lot of trouble with that obsessive thinking, and this obsessive thinking power couldn't explain that he was also calculated. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because he can't explain so much, the one who pestered them to ask for money, so obsessed with thinking but the female relatives of the eighteenth generation of Shi Bufan's ancestors have been greeted many times, but it is still useless, Shi Bufan is counting money these days! Ever since he had traded fifty thousand taels of silver with the Turks, worth about fifty thousand yuan, it was a net loss, but now he had earned it back.

"We have calculated that this money is about more than 80,000 yuan, and we have earned more than 50,000 taels of silver and 30,000 guan money through the commercial taxes of the imperial court and the futures later, after deducting the cost of those expenditures, and we have earned it back from those Turks." The account office under the Datang Money Village Federation said.

After hearing this, Shi Bufan was not surprised, because these Turks had made a deal for nothing this time, so they would face more exploitation. Fifty thousand taels of silver just fell flat, so can they not lose their blood? It is equivalent to giving their five hundred war horses to Datang, and they haven't had time to buy many things, they are mainly responsible for selling dairy products. But later, they coveted the profits of futures, and fell into the trap of the extraordinary times. Now the Turks are feeling a lot of pressure, and if they don't purchase the materials back, then they will face more pressure, especially the pressure of survival within the Turks. If they can't get the supplies, but they go back at a loss, then they will inevitably face heavy losses, and their position will be ruined. Don't say it's them, even if there is a certain diplomatic envoy in Datang who has such a big basket, it will definitely be unlucky.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, here is 50,000 taels of silver in cash, and we have exchanged it for silver, so that the imperial court can conduct a second batch of transactions with them. These 50,000 taels of silver, we can already reconcile accounts with the imperial court, so that the imperial court can give us the difference at that time, this is a token! ”

Shi Bufan took the token and came to the harem of Taiji Palace again, and after showing the fish talisman for entering and leaving the harem, he successfully asked to see Li Shimin. This time it was not a confidential matter, so Shi Bufan walked in openly, not afraid of being seen by those outsiders. Anyway, this time to pit the Turks, not to mention the entire Tang Dynasty, the Han family of the scholar clan or even any class will not have an opinion, who is not a pit, just don't pit your own people. Anyway, the pit is also a foreign enemy, no one will have an opinion, and will even help keep it secret!

"Your Majesty, this is 50,000 taels of silver, and I will get back all the money earned by the Turks for you through various means. You can have someone get all this silver back! Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin took this token and immediately asked those Qianniuwei to take out all the silver, and when boxes of silver were sent to Li Shimin, Li Shimin's eyes lit up. Even the eldest grandson queen next to her was the first time to see so much silver glittering, and they all gasped.

Shi Bufan smiled slightly, this Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are really "laymen"! When you see wealth, it will be like that. With such a glittering silver in front of him, the feeling of surprise and excitement is not something that ordinary people can feel. Although the emperor claimed to be wealthy, many people actually had more wealth than that. But there is money, there is money, but most of the rich have never seen so much gold and silver stacked together. Many rich people have money, but in fact, the cash in their hands is hardly more than 100,000, and most of their wealth exists in other forms. So although this Li Shimin looks rich, it is the first time he has seen such a glittering silver in front of him, which makes him extremely excited.

"These are all mine?" Li Shimin asked as he stroked the silver.

Shi Bufan replied: "Of course, these are all yours of the emperor!" As long as a part of the difference is deducted, the emperor will make up the difference of about 10,000 yuan, and it will be the emperor's yours. This money can be used to subsidize the emperor in the palace, who dares to have an opinion on spending money like this? When the time comes, the emperor will subsidize the family, and then all the concubines and princesses can also do it. Princesses can buy some delicious and fun, who dares to have an opinion? ”

Li Shimin looked at this silver and was just about to smile. But the princess ran in suddenly.

"Father, mother, I heard that Shi Xiaoshulang sent us money, where are they?" Li Lizhen, the princess of Changle, ran over with a group of princesses.

Li Lizhi and the other princesses just walked in, and immediately saw this shining silver, and their eyes were straight. It is said that women can't see the glittering things the most, women like those glittering things, and when they see the glittering things, they want to collect them very much, so it is true. Even Li Lizhen, the princesses who are known as brocade clothes and jade food, can't help but be moved when they see this silver. No one in this world has a grudge against wealth, and seeing so much money is of course very exciting.

"Father, this is mine, it's mine!" Li Lizhi shouted excitedly.

Li Lizhi just wanted to move the silver brick, but Li Liqin was just an eight-year-old girl, and she was pampered, and her physical strength was obviously not too strong, of course, she couldn't move this silver brick that looked like it was only the size of a cubic decimeter, but it weighed more than ten kilograms! However, Li Lizhi was obviously still very greedy and wanted to move away, but obviously couldn't move away in the end.

"Father, you bullied me, deliberately didn't let me move out, made it so heavy, you bullied me!" Li Lizhi said aggrievedly.

"Hahahaha......" Shi Bufan, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen laughed without discipline together.

Li Lizhi saw that everyone was laughing at him, and she was obviously very unhappy, so she was directly rude.

"Father, Mother, I want, I want. This silver is mine, and you said you were going to buy me a lot of good things. You said you were going to buy me something to eat, but did you forget? Give it to me, I want a piece of this silver brick as a pillow. Li Lizhi said.

"What a heavy pillow!" Shi Bufan complained in his heart.

But soon, Empress Changsun calmed down and said, "Lizhen, don't mess around, return the silver bricks to my father." Now that the court is not rich, your silver brick is worth a lot of money. This silver brick is worth at least 250 yuan, which is equivalent to the surplus that a family has had in 250 years. And now the imperial court doesn't have much wealth, so hurry up and return the silver bricks to my father! ”

Of course, Empress Changsun knew that it was impossible for this silver brick to be given to Li Liqin like this, even if Li Liqin was favored, because this silver brick was worth at least two hundred and fifty yuan, and the surplus of a family in a year was only about one or two yuan. This is equivalent to the surplus of 250 households in a year. And this 50,000 taels of silver is almost more than one-tenth of Datang's annual financial income, such a huge sum of money, very hot. Although it is nominally for Li Shimin himself, the royal is actually no different from the state, but the country is not necessarily royal. So even if it is nominally for the emperor himself, the household department will definitely ask Li Shimin for money next.

Such a large sum of money is a shot in the arm for the dismal finances in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, so if the officials of the court do not target it, then there is a problem! Everyone knows that when you are in power, you can't do it without money. So such a large silver brick, of course, it is impossible for Li Lizhen to use it as a pillow.

However, Li Lizhi was obviously not very reconciled, and said, "Didn't Shi Xiaoshulang say it just now? Is it money to buy some good things for our princesses? Why don't you count? ”

"This ......" was speechless, but it was just a polite word, and it was taken seriously.

Of course, Empress Changsun was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Lizhen, now that the court is not rich, you should hurry up and return the silver bricks to your father." As a royal princess, how can you not share the joys and sorrows with the royal family, and go through the hardships together? You do this......"

Empress Changsun inevitably began to count her daughters, as a good wife, of course, she must protect her husband, and her husband is the emperor, so he naturally has to consider the interests of the country. With such a large sum of money, of course, he can't give it to his daughter so casually. What's more, if you give it to your daughter, you can't use it, it's a waste. It is better to use it for the imperial court, which will play a much greater role.

However, Li Lizhi seemed to have been wronged, and her eyes suddenly turned red. This time, it was her mother who reprimanded her so unceremoniously, which made Li Lizhen very aggrieved.

Seeing Li Lizhen's appearance of wanting to cry, Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "Queen, don't say that." In fact, Princess Lizhi understands. The so-called poor and rich daughters, the emperor and queen are so wronged by their daughters, isn't that not good? It's better to let me take Lizhi out to have fun, and he will buy her whatever he wants. Even if you treat your son badly, don't treat your daughter badly. Raising a child in poverty is so that his son does not lose the courage to work hard. But girls have to be rich instead, otherwise they won't know that they will be deceived by a little thing in the future. If the emperor and queen are not at ease, then I will also take her out to play, how about taking the princess out to play? ”

"Father, Mother, I'm going out to play!" "We want it too!" ……

Not only Li Liqing, but also several other princesses were clamoring to go out to play, which made Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun speechless.

"Okay, okay, let's go out and have fun, don't think about this silver brick!" Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly said.

Of course, Empress Changsun doesn't want her daughters to stare at this silver brick, otherwise each princess will share a piece, and the consequences will be unimaginable, and no amount of money will be enough.

"Queen, what you said just now is a bit heavy. In fact, the princess didn't really want silver bricks, but she just wanted to be able to find some fun, not necessarily silver bricks. Perhaps in the eyes of the Queen, this silver brick is priceless and a huge asset. But in the eyes of the princess, it was just a fun thing. You tell him that it is very valuable, but in fact he doesn't know what this value means, in her eyes it is just a fun thing, no different from any kind of toy. Of course, with your and the emperor's thinking, you think that this thing is priceless, and it is impossible to use it as a toy casually. So if you replace the princess's idea with your priceless idea, it will naturally feel that the princess wants this silver brick very excessively. But you don't think that in the eyes of this princess, the silver brick is actually just a toy, as long as you can make them happy, it is actually more valuable to them than this silver brick. ”

"When you reprimanded her like that, you were actually replacing your thinking with them. You regard this silver brick as wealth, so you naturally think that they are very naughty and very inconsiderate of the needs of their parents' court. But they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them in their hearts, because in their eyes this was actually just an ordinary toy, just a toy for fun. In fact, as long as you can replace it with another kind of happiness, then they are actually very easy to be satisfied, and they don't have to spend money to do it. So, if you promise them to go out and have fun, they won't pester you for silver bricks. In your eyes, this silver brick is wealth, but in their eyes it is happiness, so if you reprimand them like this, it will only make things more troublesome and increase the estrangement in your hearts. ”

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were speechless, Shi Bufan said this, which they didn't expect at all in the past. However, Empress Eldest Sun immediately fell silent, because it seemed that Shi Bufan had a lot of truth in what he said. In the eyes of adults, those various "toys" or something are bought with money, so in the eyes of adults, this toy is spending money, and in the eyes of adults, toys are actually equated with wealth, so in the case of poor family economic conditions, it is natural to think that children are inconsiderate of their parents and families. But in fact, in the eyes of children, they don't value the economic value of this toy, they value the happiness brought by this toy. Using economic value to talk to children about the value of happiness is completely playing the piano to the cow.

Empress Eldest Sun and Li Shimin reprimanded the princess like this, which is also the opposite of each other. In fact, if you want children not to be entangled in buying toys, as long as you can replace the joy of that toy with another "happiness", happiness is the biggest "value" in the eyes of children. Therefore, the value in the eyes of adults and children is different, if adults use economic value to measure the behavior of children who want to buy toys and waste money, then this is actually a rough direction.

Empress Changsun finally said helplessly: "It seems that Shi Yuanwailang has a lot of experience in educating children, and please help us take care of it more in the future." (To be continued.) )
