Li Chengqian's father, mother-in-law and mother have so much, just to ask Lao Li to agree that he will not put the activity funds on the head of the East Palace.

Lao Li touched his ears and nodded to Li Chengqian: "That's a good word." ”

Kong Yingda's eyes lit up and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clever in this. The old minister is still afraid that the money in the East Palace is not enough, and there is a treasury to pay for it, it should be enough! ”

Li Chengqian was speechless for this old man, this old man wants knowledge and not money, no matter how much money he spends, as long as he can buy knowledge.

"By the way, I wonder if the master knows how much money is in this treasury?" Li Chengqian asked the old man.

"Well, this old man is not in his position, so I don't know!" Kong Yingda said confusedly.

Li Chengqian pinched his fingers and calculated: "More than two hundred words, a thousand words, it takes two million yuan, I'm afraid that the money in this treasury is not so much, even if it is enough, take away so much money, the treasury is empty, and there will be no money in other places, I'm afraid it's not good!" ”

"Uh, uh, uh......" Confucius was stunned and asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”

Li Chengqian coughed, glanced at Lao Li above, saw Lao Li holding tea and drinking tea leisurely, ignoring Li Chengqian and talking to the old man, Li Chengqian knew that Lao Li was letting Li Chengqian persuade Kong Yingda.

So Li Chengqian continued to play and said, "Actually, Master, I mean this. This word is a beautiful thing, but our pinyin dictionary is for the benefit of the world, leaving a big event in history, how can we make such a beautiful thing, full of copper smell, so I think we can hold a thousand gold activities, but can not really issue a thousand gold to insult the pinyin dictionary and knowledge! ”

"If you don't put money, can you still call a thousand gold?" Kong Yingda asked strangely.

"There is always something in this world that is worth a thousand gold and is not full of copper stench. For example, this is famous in history, for example, this has been admitted and recognized by Confucian scholars like Confucius, and even Confucius can't read the words, but the other party can read them, which is very remarkable! Li Chengqian said.

"Oh?"

"Yes, this first article is that those who recognize the characters can get a certificate signed by the great father and emperor, as well as the signature certificates of the master and several great Confucian scholars of the Hongwen Museum. Second, the other party's name will be recorded in the pinyin dictionary, how many copies of the pinyin dictionary are published, how many names he has, everyone who has read the dictionary, knows that there is such a great ability to contribute to this dictionary! Li Chengqian said with a smile, "This is a matter of leaving a name in history, I'm afraid that even if you exchange your daughter with someone, no one will want to change it!" ”

The more Kong Yingda listened, the happier he became, and his face showed a red of excitement, "This is a good idea, this is more attractive than a daughter, and there will be more learned people to read and write!" ”

Seeing that he was persuaded so quickly, Li Chengqian smiled.

Then he turned around and said to Lao Li: "Father, after my discussion with my master, I don't need so much money to run this one-dollar event, so I hope that my father can approve the funds for this activity to be released from the treasury." ”

Kong Yingda objected: "Your Highness, didn't you say that you don't need money for a thousand words, how can you still let the treasury pay for it!?" ”

Lao Li, who was still drinking tea leisurely just now, put down the teacup at this time and explained to Confucius: "Kong Aiqing is puzzled, this activity naturally needs to be used, money must be used, and money is not only used to reward the gentleman who can read. Okay, Kong Aiqing is also tired, let's go down first, and I'll discuss the details with Chengqian. ”

Li Chengqian nodded to Confucius, meaning the same as Lao Li, and asked Confucius to go out.

"Uh...... The old minister retired. Confucius looked at their father and son with resentment, and then offered to take his leave.

After he left, Lao Li snorted and blamed Li Chengqian: "Who told you to say that you don't need money in front of Kong Aiqing?" ”

"Huh?" Li Chengqian looked at Lao Li, isn't this temper right?

He rolled his eyes and asked, "What does Father mean?" ”

Lao Li coughed, then straightened his collar, and pretended to be serious: "Actually, isn't this the case, didn't I say in Changlepo last time that I want to let the polo game be held again, so that the Tubo people can see that our Datang polo is not lost to Tubo?" So I'm going to make our polo team perform well, but you've been to so many polo games, you should know what my Sa Zilu team is like, right? ”

Li Chengqian saw that Lao Li talked about the polo team, nodded his head, and commented: "I know, don't be angry when I say my father, the Sa Zilu team is just one word, rotten." It's all about your face, let the teams of other families let it, and they have been winning undefeated, but even the Duobao team wants to win the Sa Zilu team, but the Sa Zilu team has never wanted to make progress, and just wants to take advantage of others! ”

The corners of Lao Li's eyes twitched.

"Father, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"Nope." Lao Li waved his hand, and then coughed: "So, we can't let the Tubo people see the appearance of the Sa Zilu team,......"

"So don't let Team Sa Zilu participate in the competition!" Li Chengqian gave Lao Li an idea.

Lao Li's eyes turned white and said, "You shut up for me and listen to me." ”

Li Chengqian shut up.

Lao Li exhaled and said: "This Sa Zilu team represents me, if you don't participate in how to let the Tubo people see the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that they will laugh instead." Therefore, the Sa Zilu team wants to participate, and they must also show the Tibetan people with a mighty posture. ”

"......" Li Chengqian looked at Lao Li.

Lao Li: "Whoever says it." ”

Li Chengqian could finally speak: "Then what does this have to do with the funds I want?" ”

"Of course it matters, it's all about money." Lao Li felt that Li Chengqian was finally on the road.

"Money?"

"Yes, I need money to equip the Sa Zilu team, give the Sa Zilu team better horses, and better conditions, so that they can fight my majesty." Lao Li had a momentum of pointing out the country for a while!

"Father, isn't this Sa Zilu team the emperor team, and you still say that the equipment of this Sa Zilu team is not good? Bad conditions? Bad horses? The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, isn't Lao Li ashamed?

Lao Li beckoned to Li Chengqian, let him get closer, his voice dropped a lot, and said: "Of course, the polo team I raise can meet the basic conditions, but this can't be compared with the polo teams of other big families!" ”

"Why?"

"There is no money, those families can do business privately, and there are dividends every year, so there is a lot of money to support the polo team, but my money is taken from the state, how can I have so much money to raise?" Lao Li whispered bitterness.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he understood that this old Li wanted to raise a polo team, which should be a personal hobby, so he had to use his own money to raise it, and naturally he couldn't use the state's money. So when you compare it with the polo teams of big families, you are not competitive.

Lao Li now let Li Chengqian come closer to speak, and said so quietly that Li Chengqian understood that he was afraid that he would be heard as a joke if he said it loudly.

"What does Father mean?"
