The celebration of the New Year belongs to the people, and the happiest children are naturally the same, and of course, the adults who are the people are equally happy. Who is the happiest person in the New Year?

I'm afraid no one will ever know, in fact, it is Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty.

The Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Night Banquet, on the third day, that is, before twelve o'clock in the morning, until about half past eleven, Li Yuanxing was still studying the map in Li Er's study.

At twelve o'clock, the New Year's bell rang, and the sound of firecrackers in Chang'an City shook the sky.

Li Er wants to kneel to the Emperor Taishang to pay New Year's greetings, this is a big etiquette, I am afraid that Li Er will kowtow to the living once a year.

Li Er ended, and it was Li Yuanxing's turn. Because of their special status, it is impossible to kowtow with other people. So come alone.

Kowtowed, Li Yuanxing, the seven princesses and Wu Cao all received red envelopes from Li Yuan.

Ten Li Yuan's heads per person, one or two gold coins.

And in Li Yuanxing's hands, it is light. Obviously it was not a gold coin, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Li Yuanxing opened the red envelope, and inside was a piece of paper, on which was written: IOU, one hundred times! Then there is Li Yuanxing's signature, and the date.

Well, it's a debt payment.

Li Yuanxing completely ignored the imperial prestige of these daxiao, and sat back in his place.

Li Yuan was still handing out his Emperor Taishang gold coins, and it seemed that the eunuchs around him had already arranged them, and who had a few coins had already been calculated in detail. On this night alone, Li Yuan's actual expenditure was close to 15,000, and there was no way. He has many children, and the wives of his sons and grandsons also have gifts.

Li Yuanxing This is considered a high level, Li Yuanxing's family alone, Li Yuan gave 800 yuan, but Wu Cao was rewarded alone, the largest number of all, a full twenty gold coins.

According to the current gold price of Chang'an, one gold coin of the Emperor Taishang is fifteen times.

Li Yuan sent out more than 900 pieces, close to 1,000.

"Happy New Year to the Five Emperor Uncles, I wish the Five Emperor Uncles a ......" Li Chengqian took a large group of half-sized children. There were hundreds of people in a dense area. rushed in front of Li Yuanxing, knelt down and kowtowed, as if he had been drilled, and his voice was extremely neat. The one who read the words said a new congratulatory message of 200 words.

Snare! It's a trap!

Li Yuan hahadaxiao: "Goro." You didn't prepare a red envelope. ”

Red envelope. There's a red envelope there. Li Yuanxing has been busy fighting, occupying territory and grabbing people. Grab the hill. There is effort to prepare red envelopes, not to mention that there didn't seem to be this link last year.

Li Yuanxing stood up: "Nonsense, if you don't pay New Year's greetings to the saint first, how can you give it to me first?" ”

"Gorou, you weren't there at dinner, they already worshipped. I also sent red envelopes for my brother, and my father was anxious to go to the arena, so he delayed it until the dinner, and they were not rude. Gorou peace of mind! ”

Peace of mind.

Obviously, you just want to see yourself ugly......

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem right, for the New Year, it's all a family, so it's natural to give a red envelope. This has become a custom in later generations, even if the people of Chang'an were poor before, they would have a copper coin to give to their children, which is the New Year's money, which is very auspicious.

I didn't prepare in advance, but I forgot about it.

And the seven princesses of Qin are all children, the oldest is only sixteen years old, and they know a fart.

Li Yuanxing silently took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, squinting his eyes and thinking, this is family affection, a very rare family affection. The children in the royal family dared to laugh out loud, and in front of Li Er, Li Tang's royal family was no longer as cold-blooded as the royal family of later generations.

But I really didn't prepare for this New Year's money, and no one in the world wants to owe such a thing as New Year's money.

Even if you don't have any New Year's money, you still have to give your child a thing to bring with you.

Right now, there are too many children kneeling in front of Li Yuanxing, so much that it is not enough to disassemble all the things on Li Yuanxing's body into parts. Li Yuanxing remembered that Li Yuan gave a gold coin to a child, about two or three hundred, and the two little eunuchs were carrying a basket of red envelopes.

Li Yuanxing's heart moved: "Come on, go to the arsenal of the forbidden army to get 500 high-grade feather arrows, and then recruit two inner servants who know woodcarving." ”

The people who listened to the order didn't understand what this meant at all, but His Royal Highness King Qin had ordered it, so he naturally had to prepare.

Li Yuanxing said to the children kneeling in front of him: "Continue to go to the New Year, and come to Uncle Wuhuang to receive the New Year's money in a while, and I guarantee that you will be very happy with the New Year's money!" ”

His Royal Highness King Qin's reputation is still very good.

just heard Li Yuanxing say that the New Year's money he sent was very special, and the two little girls walked up to Li Yuanxing and followed: "Brother Five Emperors, do you want to give a copy of the New Year's money?" Princess Anding, who was about the same age as Mingyue, stood timidly in front of Li Yuanxing and asked. Li Yuanxing smiled: "Yes, only no more than twelve years old, as long as it is my Li royal family, there are all!" ”

Many of the children cheered.

Li Yuanxing looked around and said loudly: "Continue to be generous, just be generous to the end." It's just that the surname is Li, and those who are here tonight are younger than this king, and everyone has a share, whether you are married or waiting to get married. It's all there, and everyone has a copy. ”

Li Yuan looked at Wu Cao, he was a little confused.

Wu Cao made a move of despising Li Yuanxing, Li Yuan understood, Princess Mingyue was despising Li Yuanxing, which proved that Li Yuanxing was a pit, and this pit was definitely not as small as letting Li Daozong go to the salt field and give himself a debt of 3,000 yuan for the shop of the god plow.

Pit so many people at one time, what a big pit it is.

Li Yuan looked at Li Er, and Li Er told Li Yuan with his eyes that he believed in Wulang, and Wulang was measured.

This time, it was Qilang Li Yuanchang's turn, this guy directly picked up the basket and scattered a basket of silver coins, and then shouted: "There is the fifth brother's New Year's money, you little guys are still worried about me, you are too greedy." ”

Qilang, Hachilang, and Jiulang have all been crowned kings, and they have income, so they have to pay money. Those who are smaller than Li Chengqian don't need it.

Hachiro and Jiulang also followed Li Yuanchang's example, and directly scattered the silver coins, anyway, it was lively, so it was lively to the end. Coming down, although Li Xiaogong and these people are older, although they are from the royal family, their identities are naturally not as good as Li Yuan's sons, and when it was their turn immediately, Li Xiaogong signaled his subordinates to also scatter silver coins.

In a short time, the silver coins in the grass of the back garden were piled up into a small mountain, and hundreds of children did not even carry the silver coins in their pockets, but all piled up in the garden. As for who they are, they are not ordinary people after all, and they are not aware of the importance of coins when they are arranged for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

A few older ones, such as Li Chengqian, saw that their younger siblings were happy, and they also messed around together.

The arrows came, and the little guys rushed to Li Yuanxing again excitedly.

The little ones are excited because they are looking forward to a very novel New Year's money. The parents behind them don't think so, what does Li Yuanxing's arrow represent.

"An arrow, within three hundred paces of the place where it fell, no matter what was dug up. Thirty percent to the treasury, thirty percent to the king, one percent to the local garrison, zuihou thirty percent to you. Of course, if the arrows of several houses fall very closely, then according to the two arrows, you can cooperate in excavation! ”

"Brother Five, what can be dug up there?" Or Princess Anding asked.

Li Yuanxing held Princess Anding on his lap and motioned to the eunuch to carve Anding's name on an arrow, and then said: "You can dig up many things, such as lead, tin, and zinc." Li Yuanxing said with a smile, Princess Anding pouted: "Anding doesn't know what this is?" Can I exchange it for snacks? ”

Just because children don't understand doesn't mean adults don't understand.

Some are knowledgeable and even know.

In general, the common ore of these three metals does not seem to have been heard of, but these three metals generally occur as associated ores in another metal mining area.

"And, of course, you can dig up silver and gold!" Li Yuanxing's tone was full of mischievous flavor.

"How much silver is there?" Princess Anding asked again.

"Yes!" Li Yuanxing made a look of thinking, and after thinking about it, he replied: "You can build a palace for Anding with silver, and then use gold to make a bed for Anding." Then we don't even use stones for the rockery in the garden, all of them are piled up with silver, how beautiful they are! ”

Li Er understood.

Li Yuanxing is looking for free labor, and even if Li Yuanxing is exhausted to death, he can't dig up all the liliang in the Qin Palace, and he can't dig out much silver. The reason is too simple, because there are too many.

Li Yuan didn't know this, and asked Li Er sideways: "Is there such a place?" Throw an arrow at random, and then there will be tens of thousands of taels of silver dug up. Gorou is amusing the dolls! ”

Hearing Li Yuan speak, Li Yuanxing didn't say anything more.

Li Er said with a smile: "I don't know how much, Gorou only said a number." The walls of the new Chang'an City are made of silver bricks, and the silver mountain cannot be hollowed. Father, you really should be poor in Gorou, Gorou has a 200-material fast boat and comes back with gold. The boat almost sank the gold, Zuihou threw away a lot of coal before he reluctantly entered the Grand Canal, calculate the time, you can get to the Jinghe wharf on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. ”

"Actually, I'm poor!" As soon as Li Yuanxing spoke, Li Yuan picked up the teacup and was about to smash him.

You Li Yuanxing still have a shameless face, the gold that can't be transported by 200 clippers, you should be stable, and you don't know how to count.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Erchen is ready to order the construction of a double-rail railway from Chang'an to Luoyang, and this ship of gold is barely enough for seventy percent, so another ship has to come." But that silver mountain, Erchen really can't look down on it. After the construction of Zhengzhou industry, it will be just a silver mountain! It should be regarded as a gift money for the royal dolls to marry a wife or a person in the future! ”

Wu Cao secretly gave Li Yuanxing a clever gesture.

Li Er also quietly gave a thumbs up.

The Tang Emperor and the Tang Qin King sang a double reed, and the result was that it was impossible for people not to believe it, and the two brothers moved their mouths, and seventy percent of the silver would belong to them, and it was pure profit. (To be continued......)
