Fourteen-year-old Li Tai is making the most important choice for his life, fourteen and a half-year-old Li Ke is inspecting the houses he built, and the small buildings that have been painted white are hidden in the green pines and cypresses, which look particularly elegant. The roof of the building is red bricks, unlike the palace where there is a gray patch everywhere, it is no wonder that one is made of red bricks and the other is covered with blue bricks, which is naturally different.

People like the new and hate the old, Building No. 1 was occupied by Emperor Li Yuan, and he didn't give a penny, in a word, Yun Ye's kid still owes the old man the gold, and he dares to ask the old man for the house? Yun Ye had already told Li Ke that anyone in their family could give the house if they wanted it, but they had to pay for it, otherwise Li Ke would need to pay for the house in advance.

Li Ke is about to die of sorrow, Yun Ye is coming back soon, as long as the house money comes back sixty percent, the gentlemen of the academy do not count, this house was originally built for them. Mr. Li Gang moved his home from the capital to the No. 10 building of the academy as early as the second month of the house, which was the most beautiful building, the house was covered with tiles, the ground was laid with pine floors, the light paint was brushed six times, the carved doors and windows were simple and elegant, the glass chandelier was installed on the roof, and the chandelier was put down with a winch when it was dark, and the oil lamp was lit, the room was full of brilliance, and the oil smoke was not choking. It is not intended for the owner's home, it is used to change, no matter who it is, when they see such a good house, and then look at the shabby furniture, they will not hesitate to replace them, but they don't need to pay for these furniture, and if you want to change the furniture, you need to add additional money.

There are smiling businessmen coming to the door, holding a large stack of beautiful pictures for the host to choose, if you are not at ease, there is a specially decorated model room for the host to visit, stuffed with a thick layer of wool soft chairs, chairs made of precious wood, brocade piers. The carpets transported from the Western Regions, the strange-looking cases, and the careful merchants even prepared carved wooden beds.

Whoever looks at this house is red-eyed, and Mr. Li Gang's entire net worth was invested in it, so he decorated the new home, and the price of decorating the house was far more expensive than the house itself. When the old gentleman was proudly lying on the soft chair, looking at the mountain scenery outside the window, he suddenly jumped up. Yelled: "Fooled". The old wife, who was so shocked that she was sitting in front of the fireplace and embroidered, almost sat on the ground, and complained to the old man repeatedly: "Old, old, I don't have the appearance of an old man. ”

was reprimanded by Li Gang: "What do women know." The cost of this building is only about three hundred yuan, and the old man bought the utensils for seven hundred yuan, Yun Ye, this kid. Without twice the earnings, what will he do? That is, he put the money for the construction of the building. There is also furniture money, all of which were earned back, maybe there is still a surplus, and it also makes the old man feel that he has invested money for the academy, which should have belonged to the old man. Earned the old man's money. And let the old man be grateful to him, this goddamn little bastard! The poor old man's life's private savings entered the tiger's mouth like this. ”

Mrs. Li looked at the thick carpet on the floor, then looked at the glamorous glass lamp overhead, and then looked at the attic-like bed, which was not a big price to buy, seven hundred This is still the preferential price given by the housekeeper of Yunfu for the sake of the old man's sacrifice wine in the academy, Mrs. Li felt that it was worth a thousand dollars, especially the carved big bed, sleeping on it was like lying on the clouds, and the hard bed at home should have been thrown away a long time ago. Pouting, he felt that the old man was stingy.

"Okay, okay, when Yunhou comes back, you can teach him a good lesson, he is still young, just change it slowly." Old Mrs. Li coaxed old Li Gang, old child, old child, this is what needs to be coaxed, which made him quiet. Although he said cruel words about Yun Ye's good looks, a smile appeared on his face. …,

The stinky idea of building a house on the edge of a waterfall was Li Ke's, and the land at the foot of the mountain was really not enough, and there were still a lot of building materials left, so he took it upon himself to build a house on the vacant land next to the waterfall.

Standing outside the house and listening to the rumbling sound of running water, Li Ke wanted to give his head a hammer, who likes to listen to noise all day long? Thinking of Yun Ye saying that as a builder, the final result of the house that cannot be sold is to sell it to himself, this is a principle, Li Ke thought that he needed to listen to the noise endlessly during the two years in the academy, and his brain hurt, so he took advantage of the envoy to go to the grassland and told Yun Ye about his worries, and he needed his opinion.

The letter soon responded, the messengers from the grassland to Chang'an were endless, Yun Ye told him in the letter, this is not a big deal, it just needs to be packaged, Li Ke needs to tell everyone, the "Listening to the Waterfall Pavilion" next to the waterfall is the most tasteful set of all the houses, there are distant mountains, near trees, there are waterfalls splashing, the sunrise can be seen in the morning, and the Mingquan can be heard at night, it is unique, rare in the world, miss this time, several times around Chang'an can no longer have such a good view of the house, a push the door can see the waterfall splashing, You can feel the magnificence of the waterfall up close, the so-called benevolent Leshan, the wise Leshui, this house is only sold to successful people who are benevolent and wise, and those who are not qualified are not sold to him, and the price of this house needs to be doubled.

Seeing Yun Ye's reply, Li Ke felt that his values had collapsed, his head was dizzy, and his eyes were full of stars. That's impossible! He cheered for his values in his heart and hoped that he would not be ruined in this matter.

As a result, on the auction floor, the other houses are safe and stable transactions are completed, only this set of "Tingtao Pavilion" is fought for, countless successful people who claim to be benevolent and wise are vying for this only named house, competing for bids, the competition is extremely fierce, there are Li family princes, there are all kinds of national princes, Hou Ye and others are all driven away, and the little Hou Ye is also worthy of being called a successful person? As for the wealthy merchants in Chang'an City, they didn't even have the courage to raise prices. In the end, this house was snatched from Li Xiaogong by Wei Chi Lao Fool with his fist, and the house price at this time was already six times the psychological price of Li Ke!

Seeing the result, Li Ke's face turned terribly white, and he grabbed the railing with both hands to keep himself balanced, Master, your old man is really wrong! They are all a bunch of fools and madmen, just a statement, worth three thousand? Three thousand guan can also buy a mansion in Chang'an City.

He decided to go to his all-powerful father and confide in him his doubts.

"If you don't say why, my father wants this house too." This was Li Erma's first sentence after listening to Li Ke's speech, and when he heard this, Li Ke couldn't sit still anymore and fell to the ground. There are distant mountains, near trees, there are waterfalls splashing, the sunrise can be seen in the morning, and the spring can be heard at night.

"There are distant mountains, near trees, there are waterfalls splashing, the sunrise can be seen in the morning, and the sound of the spring can be heard at night, if you don't think about it carefully, the average person will not think about how noisy the roar of the waterfall is, not to mention, this kid also got his name out to sell for money, it is not strange to have such a result." Li Er said it unfazedly.

But the master said...... "Li Ke still wants to struggle."

"Don't mention the master at this time, the master belongs to a gentleman, not to the royal family, not to a businessman, and he won't belong to Yun Ye in the future, he handed over such a huge stall to you, haven't you understood the intention? As a gentleman, Yun Ye is qualified, as a courtier, Yun Ye is respectful, in order to cultivate you to become a talent, I believe that the money you handled this time is about more than 30,000 yuan, you know, your father and the emperor will not be able to hand over such a large sum of money to you casually, let you control it. Yun Ye didn't look for anyone else, he specifically found you, a half-grown child, first, to cultivate you to be the person in charge of money in the future of my Tang Dynasty. He found out that you have a talent in this area, and the second is to sue me that his actions are just to make money, so as to supplement the use of the academy, and spread out everything in front of me, which is not only transparent, but also seems to be above board, you know? When he comes back this time, even if your father and emperor I don't kick him again, no one dares to underestimate him. The Marquis of Lantian will truly become the topmost nobleman of the Tang Dynasty. ”…,

Li Er said that there was a regret in his words that could not be concealed, if this kid was his son, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the past hundred years could also be expected.

Li Ke hesitated for a long time before saying to Li Er: "Father, Yunhou built a house this time, and the money in the hands of the child exceeded 70,000 yuan, and the child only spent less than 20,000 yuan when he built the house, of which forty-two houses were supplied to the academy for free, and there were fifty-one houses, and the cost of each house was less than 400 yuan, and the profit of the cement kiln was also included here. So Yunhou only spent 18,000 yuan to build these houses. Fifty-two houses, the cheapest one was also bought for 1,000 yuan, like the Tingpu Xuan was sold for 4,000 yuan, so the child now has 70,000 yuan in his hand, and there are still 20,000 yuan that have not been recovered. ”

Li Er's teacup shook a little, and the tea overflowed from the cup, he never dreamed that Yun Ye would have such a big income just by building some houses in the barren mountains and remote areas, and the annual tax in the entire Yangzhou was only 100,000 yuan, which was already a rare rich township.

It's a pity that this money has nothing to do with him, just after the war, the treasury is empty and can run horses, even he is a little red-eyed.

"Are all taxes paid?" This is the only thing Li Er can ask about.

"On the past, every transaction is successful, the first thing the child does is to pay taxes, the tax collector of Chang'an County has been following the child, Yunhou told the child that the transaction is completed, the first thing to do is to pay taxes, otherwise it will lose the original intention of making money."

"The original intention of making money? What does that mean? Li Er was a little confused, he didn't know why Yun Ye regarded taxes so important, who was not trying to evade taxes in Chang'an, only Yun Ye regarded this matter as the foundation of his life.

Li Ke twisted for a long time before he said to Li Er: "My father's child doesn't understand the meaning, but I just heard Yunhou say that one day when my father and emperor also start paying taxes, he will tell the child the reason, and now he says that it is harmful to the child." ”

"Where is this kid now?" Li Er asked the guards in the station behind him. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
