Chapter 15 The wealth is exposed

And after Li Mao noticed that everyone in the hall regarded the million yuan he gave away as an astronomical amount, he immediately felt that something was wrong, because he didn't know in advance that the life of the prince of the Tang Dynasty would be so low-key and simple. And the level of wealth is even inferior to that of ordinary merchants. But now, the words have been spoken, and it is even more impossible to deceive and prevaricate.

So he roughly calculated a figure that Li Longji could accept and reluctantly accept, and then explained in a hurry: "Father, mother, in fact, all this money is really earned by the child by opening a restaurant by himself, didn't the child borrow the capital from the mother concubine a year ago?" ”

"Yes...... But the fact that you have opened a restaurant has only been a year and a half to this day, how can you be so profitable? Don't you really take advantage of the name of the prince outside as your father said, right? When Concubine Wu Hui said this, the expression on her face was also very nervous.

When she looked back at Li Longji and wanted to repeat the relaxed atmosphere of the old tricks, she didn't expect that our moody Li Sanlang had already raised his hand and pointed directly at Li Mao.

"You kid, I just boasted...... You...... You ......"

"Mother, how can there be anything, if the child does this, those Yushitai adults will not drown the child, the silver money in the child's hand is really earned by just opening a restaurant, the child has already opened hundreds of natural restaurant branches in a year, only Chang'an City visited the city of children to open as many as ten, and each restaurant has a daily surplus of thousands of silver coins......"

After Li Mao said this, he then pretended to be a little aggrieved and lowered his head, but just when everyone was suspicious of whether the amount Li Mao said was accurate.

At this time, the crown prince Li Ying inexplicably stood up to help Li Mao speak: "Father, what Brother Mao said is true, just a few years ago, didn't you also tell your child to go to the household department to study and check taxes in detail?" After the child went to the household department, he saw the commercial tax account book paid by the natural restaurant, the amount was the same as what Brother Mao said, at that time, the child did not know that the restaurant industry was owned by Brother Mao, thinking that it was the property of a wealthy family! For this reason, I also deliberately went to Taifu Sixiang, which is in charge of commerce, to check for a few days......"

As soon as Li Ying said this, it undoubtedly gave Li Mao the best evidence, and after listening to what he said, Li Longji's face immediately became cloudy and sunny and eased a lot.

"Ying'er, as you said, the restaurant opened by Mao'er is not only very profitable, but also pays commercial tax normally in accordance with national law, yes or no?"

"Yes, my father, the restaurant industry under the name of my brother, all the documents are complete, and there is a detailed registration in the government, without the slightest suspicion of mistakes and omissions, and several adults in charge of the household department have also conducted a detailed inspection with the children that day......

"Haha...... That's not what the father meant, Ying'er, you have always been cautious and careful, what your father said to you, naturally you still believe it, so you don't have to ask others, since the money given by the hat is from the right source, this matter will be handled according to what he said before, as for this disaster relief matter, it is still up to Ying'er, you personally come forward to coordinate it, although this million yuan is a drop in the bucket, but now it is also taken from the people for the people......"

"San Lang, you are so unfair, this money is obviously from the hat, why is it that now the matter is all done by the prince, and the hat has been accused by you for nothing......"

Concubine Wu Hui's words seemed to have only a little complaint, as well as grievances about the unfair treatment of her children, but if you savor the deep meaning, you can know that this woman has already had a strong hostility towards the crown prince Li Ying at this time.

However, when a shrewd emperor like Li Longji handles household affairs, he is sometimes a fan of the authorities, just like in the current situation where there are so murderous intentions and the smell of gunpowder, he even thinks that the matter is just a mother's love and grievances for her children.

"Eh, concubine, do you think that disaster relief is as easy as a hat and a child playing? Besides, with the age and temperament of the hat, can he be up to this great task? You love your son deeply, I understand, but even so, you can't confuse personal feelings with national affairs? I promise you, in a few years, when he grows up, I will also reuse it without discrimination, and now that he has made a lot of money, I will naturally reward him with another reward......"

"San Lang, you have said so, if the concubine still doesn't know how to measure, it seems that she doesn't know the general situation, just do what San Lang said! But this reward must not be too stingy! ”

As the two of them talked, they had another greasy taste of rubbing their shoulders and backs, and Li Mao, who really couldn't stand this atmosphere, immediately didn't dare to stop any longer and got up to say goodbye to Li Longji.

"Father, since everything has been explained, the child has retired first, and you can always watch and handle the matter of rewarding! In fact, as long as the child can share a little worry for his father and the emperor, he will be satisfied...... ”

"Stinky boy! I know you don't like to wait with me for a long time, but you still need to negotiate with the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible about the construction of a cement workshop. Don't linger in the market all day long, and drummer those low-end businesses, read more books of sages and sages, and only then listen to the poems you compose on the spot, which can be regarded as some talent, if you are willing to study hard, he will definitely gain something in the future......"

"Oh, the child must follow the teachings of his father, then the child will withdraw first, mother, you will accompany your father and then drink tea, and the child will enter the palace another day to talk to you......" "Eh... Hat, A-Niang still wants to ......" Looking at Li Mao's figure of trotting out of the hall at high speed, Concubine Wu Hui had just raised the arm that was about to stop him and had to fall down stupidly.

After Li Longji saw this scene, he also shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, but when Li Mao just walked out of the hall, he beckoned Gao Lishi again and whispered closely, and after a while, Gao Lishi received the order and chased after him in a panic.

And when Li Mao outside was going down the steps, he ran all the way back all the way, as if he was afraid of being stopped on the spot, but this person came whatever he wanted, and when he saw Gao Lishi panting with the fur coat chasing, he still couldn't help but stop moving forward.

"Eh, His Royal Highness King Shou, your foot strength is really fast, the old slave and my front and back feet, I almost can't see your figure, you wait for the old slave, the saint still has something to explain, just now there are many people and it is not good to ......make it clear."

"What a word! Hurry up and say, this king has stood for most of the day and his legs are weak, so he won't follow Mr. Gao to receive the great gift of the holy parable! ”

"Yes, little ancestor, anyway, there are no outsiders here, we are all exempt from this rudeness, saint, let the old slave tell His Royal Highness King Shou that if you really want to calm down the chaos in Tibet, then show some sincerity, or this brazen sword soldier, the saint is not good to explain to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and there is no reasonable explanation!"

"Manager Gao, listen to the meaning of your words, my father wants me to come up with ideas and money, right?"

"This ...... Your Royal Highness, the saint he also has difficulties, although the treasury has been abundant in the past two years, but there are so many places inside and outside, so many trivial things, and the piles and piles are indispensable for silver expenses, so this year is busy to the end, and there is not much left left, plus the spring has to hold a ceremony to seal the Zen, right? It costs money! And the cage warfare you mentioned must be even more trivial when it costs money......

After Gao Lishi said this, his face was obviously a little unnatural, and Li Mao immediately secretly scolded Li Longji in his heart for a few words, although he understood early on that the emperor's mind was unfathomable, but to this day, he Li Mao can be regarded as really understanding what kind of means are called dog days' calculations.

According to common sense, he just respectfully held his hands and offered a million yuan, so this matter, if anyone else would not and should not pull down his face so quickly, and then send someone to ask for money at this time, but he, Li Sanlang, the emperor, is such a scorpion Baba alone, not only did it, but also did it so impatiently, and it looked ugly.

Li Mao stood on the hundreds of steps of Daming Palace, feeling the cold snow wind, not only physically feeling the cold wind, but psychologically more like suddenly falling into the ice cave as desperate and confused, people said that the emperor's family had no flesh and blood, and it was only at this time that he could be regarded as a first-hand experience.

Li Longji appointed Gao Lishi to privately ask for money with him this time, and the reason given was that the treasury lacked money to fight and the imperial court lacked a reason to go to war.

But in the final reason, Li Mao concluded that it was still his Emperor Li Sanlang's intentions, because he took the initiative to offer silver today, which should have touched his emperor's scales, and a small prince should not have been able to accumulate wealth and self-respect!

And now, according to Li Sanlang's ideas and steps, Li Mao immediately figured out one thing, that is, no matter how much money he makes in the future, he is unlikely to have the opportunity to let go of your palms and let it go for a long time...... Maybe in less than two months, there will be another reason for disaster relief and benefiting the people.
