And when Li Mao saw that the so-called mysterious gifts that the rich and noble people in Chang'an City liked in the mouth of the old man of the big clan were living people, he was immediately shocked and stood there speechless.

"Your Royal Highness, although Taiyuan Mansion is not as lively and prosperous as Chang'an City, but the Kunlun slaves, Bodhisattva barbarians, and Siamese maids and three treasures here are far better than the capital......

"Huh...... Elder of the big clan, you don't think that this king is also like those gentlemen in the capital, and likes this powerful slave and beautiful woman like an ox! ”

"This ...... Your Royal Highness King Shou, don't you think that their appearance is mediocre and difficult to see! ”

"No, no, you misunderstood what this king meant, this king just thinks...... Also, since the big clan is as good as he wants, then the king will be disrespectful, but this will never act like this again in the future, now let's go to discuss the resettlement of the victims with Wang Tingshi and all the virtuous people? ”

When Li Mao saw that the two tall Kunlun slaves were chained and trembling, and a few bodhisattvas hiding next to them who came out like murals, and the Siamese maidservants were also pear blossoms and rain, and they didn't dare to face themselves, the sense of sympathy in his heart immediately flooded again, because at this time, the atmosphere of the entire Tang Dynasty was like this, even if he was out of the mud and kept his body upright, then in the end, how good could the result be?

Moreover, in this era, in order to cater to the preferences of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, the Arabs are carrying out the slave trade in full swing, if this exchange of interests is not stopped from the source in the future, then the tragedy will be staged again and again, if it is condemned and spit on with a simple heart of the Virgin. It's better to go with the flow and go along with it, at least in this way, it will be beneficial and harmless for the big things you want to do next.

"Okay, everything is arranged by His Royal Highness King Shou, then these gifts, Lao Yu will let people transfer them to His Royal Highness's servants to take care of first, and it is also Lao Yu who is confused for a while, this matter really shouldn't be brought to someone to say! May Your Highness atone for your sins! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little plaything, presumably Wang Tingshi and Gong Shaoqing won't impeach this king in front of the saint because of this, but the squire of your Wang family's squire is so miserable! Otherwise, this king will also travel thousands of miles to eat and sleep in the open and run to your Taiyuan Mansion to toss, haha......"

As soon as Li Mao finished speaking, he immediately strode into the living room of the other garden, not giving those elders of the big clan and the elders of the second clan a chance to explain at all.

So everyone was dumbfounded on the corridor with big eyes and small eyes, and it took a long time to follow in a daze.

"Shouichi, what does he mean by this! Could it be that he is still jealous of Luo Dan's impeachment a few days ago? "I guess so! Uncle said in his letter that he himself was impulsive that day, and when he heard that Siyuan was beaten, he was already frightened, where would he take a step back and think more! After his old man's family, he was also afraid that this Shouwang Xiaoshaxing would be jealous of our Wang family, so he sent a letter eight hundred miles overnight, afraid that we would get into trouble again, but the gift you gave to the old man of the big family should still be in line with his villain's heart, and the nephew has long heard that this son is not very old, but the name of the flower has spread far away in Chang'an City, according to recent rumors, the "Qingping Tune" poem he made was specially created for the top official prostitute moonlight girl, the old man of the big family, you look at him as a prince is a fireworks woman...... Hehe......"

"Aren't people mischievous boys? The old man also recited the song "Qingping Tune", which is quite talented, unexpected! However, if this person is stained with wine, it is not all a bad thing, it is better than those imperial historians who do not enter the oil and salt, Lord Shaoqing, do you say? ”

"The elder of the big clan, insightful, what about the shame of the officials? After all, it is inevitable that the lower officials will fall into the cliché, but they just think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is orthodox, and if he is wronged by someone with a heart, then the lower official ......"

"Lord Shaoqing, you are far away, today I only talk about His Royal Highness King Shou, only talk about disaster relief, we should all share his worries and solve problems for His Royal Highness the Prince, you might as well take the opportunity to write a letter and ...... this matter to the saint."

Several people said as they walked, and when they entered the door and saw Li Mao sitting in the first place, they immediately closed their mouths and bowed respectfully, and then sat down in the first place under Li Mao in turn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, time is pressing, this king will no longer care about him, tens of thousands of victims gathered in the city of Taiyuan Mansion are hungry and cold, and they can't be delayed for a moment! But fortunately, with the help of all the virtuous and righteous Kang Kan, the rice grain was prepared early in the morning, so this first hunger can be regarded as solved, but is the latter cold? It's easy to say, there are many coal pits in the treasure land of Taiyuan Prefecture, so let's take more local materials and give them more warmth! ”

"His Royal Highness King Shou, you are strategizing, thinking very thoroughly, Xiaguan will order someone to prepare, but Xiaguan still has a lot of doubts, I don't know how Your Highness plans in the future, seeing that there are still months before the autumn harvest of new grain, if tens of thousands of disaster victims are just waiting for nothing, then Xiaguan thinks that even if there is a supply of 200,000 stone grain raised by various villagers and neighbors, it will not last for a long time!"

Wang Shouyigui was a big member of the Taiyuan Mansion in Guannei Province, knowing that Li Mao was not good, and even intended to embarrass their Wang family, but at this moment he was still very face-saving and put his posture very low, and even the reply was politely stood up straight and bowed.

"Wang Tingshi doesn't have to be so polite, let's sit down and say, these difficulties you mentioned, this king has also thought of it in advance, 200,000 stone grain is a drop in the bucket compared to tens of thousands of victims, and the salary is far from enough, and in the current situation, the drought in Shandong will not be solved for a while and a half, so in the future, the number of victims who will flow to the customs will increase dramatically every day......"

"Your Highness is saying that, yes! Since yesterday, the people in the city have been in fear, and the price of this grain is about to come! ”

"Elder of the big family, the matter of grain prices, you must always bother to deal with it, the major wealthy families in Taiyuan Mansion have always looked forward to your royal family, so the matter of leveling the price of grain must be brought forward by you! In addition, it is not a long-term thing for the victims to gather in the city, so it is better for your old man to arrange to recruit all those who have the ability to work in the coalwork field! The king will then send 900,000 pieces of silver to purchase grain! ”

When Li Mao said the 900,000 yuan astronomical grain collection, the elders of the big clan and a few old men of the Wang family who were present couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Because if the 900,000 yuan that Li Mao said was just sent to help tens of thousands of victims in Taiyuan Mansion, then this matter can be said to be a pie in the sky.

However, none of the people present are stupid, and they know very well that there is no free lunch in this world, not to mention 900,000 yuan of silver to buy 200,000 stone of grain, that is, 500,000, and 1 million stone is more than enough, not to mention that Li Mao also said in front of him that he was preparing to resettle the victims in the coal field to work instead of Zhen.

So knowing that things were not so simple, the elder of the big clan first couldn't help but ask Li Mao, "Your Highness, isn't there more than 900,000 yuan of silver!" This relief for the victims is a matter of doing good and accumulating virtue, although my Wang family has a weak background, but it can also contribute to His Highness! In addition, it is not impossible for the victims to enter the charcoal field to work, but the charcoal business has always been deserted, and all the charcoal produced in the past can no longer be sold......

"Haha...... Elder of the clan, have you misunderstood, all 900,000 yuan were used to help the victims? I don't have that much financial resources in this king, and ninety percent of it is still used to buy food from your major clans in Taiyuan Mansion, about three million stones, of course, the more the merrier! ”

"What! Your Highness, you're joking! How to make it at this time! "Why not? Do the elders of the great clan know where the king bought this rice grain? "Old decay, it doesn't matter where you buy rice and grain, Your Highness! Nine hundred thousand yuan of silver to buy two million stone grain is not enough, not to mention that this is the period of soaring grain in the year of famine, if His Highness has this calculation in his heart, then the old man has shallow qualifications and can not help, His Highness should find another virtuous! ”

The two sides talked about this, generally speaking, most of the next things were to scatter in two, seeing that the old man of the big clan stood up tremblingly and was about to leave, Wang Shouyi and Gong Shaoqin hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but Li Mao was still sitting there smiling and picking up the tea bowl and constantly pouring tea into his mouth.
