Chapter 474: Big Eyes and Small Eyes
Yang Guang glanced at Hubu Shangshu out of the corner of his eye: "Did you hear that?" When we defeated the Tang army in Luoyang, we scraped a large sum of silver, which was enough for the expenses just mentioned. ”
"Good!"
When Tobe Shangshu saw that there was silver in his hand again, the corners of his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.
However, this money is dead money after all, and it will be gone if it is spent, Yang Guang asked again: "How is Li Wan's preparations in Jiangnan, have you sent things over recently?" ”
"Nope."
Hubu Shangshu's head shook like a rattle: "The minister once sent someone to ask, and Lord Li said that after the war in Jiangnan, the people had great opinions about the imperial court, which caused a lot of trouble to his recruitment work, and it would take a while to appease him." ”
"Okay!" Yang Guang was helpless, he also knew that several battles broke out in the Jiangnan region in a short period of time, and the local people were naturally very unbearable.
At this time, it is not good to forcibly adopt some means, and doing so can only cause public resentment, and it may not be possible to emerge a thief similar to Fang Xinxiong.
For now, I can only wait patiently.
However, since Jiangnan can't help, and the imperial court hasn't started to collect taxes, where should the money come from? You can't just sit here and wait for pie to fall from the sky, right?
"Your Majesty, if you want silver, we can take the original method and borrow ...... from the common people" Seeing that Yang Guang was depressed, Hubu Shangshu came up with a way.
Yang Guangyi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "When I asked the people to borrow silver, it was a helpless move, and I had to borrow it, but now if I don't have silver, at most I will live a more difficult life, and I can't hurt my tendons or move my bones." ”
"In that case, why do we need to borrow silver? Don't pay back the borrowed money? You don't have to pay a borrowing fee, huh? ”
Hubu Shangshu looked embarrassed: "Then according to Your Majesty's intentions, what should we do?" ”
Yang Guang simply didn't speak, money is hard to earn, is hard to eat, this is a well-known wise saying, if you want silver, how can you think of a way in a few words?
At this time, I heard Lai Hu'er scolding loudly: "Cheng Biting Jin, what are you doing?" ”
For a time, it attracted the attention of many people.
Yang Guang looked over and found that after Cheng Yanjin entered the table, he did not hold those meat gnaws as before, but held a spinning top in his hand, and asked for a leather whip from the hands of the eunuchs beside him.
At this moment, he was holding a leather whip, and as soon as he stood up, he was mistaken by Laihu'er for that he was going to make some movements, so he stopped him.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yanjin smiled: "General, you misunderstood, I just think this spinning top is very interesting, so I want to get up and play, and by the way, I will relieve everyone's boredom." ”
"Spinning top?" Lai Hu'er knows this thing, and it has been very popular in the palace recently, and almost everyone has one.
It's just that on this occasion, if Cheng bites Jin and plays with the top, it will inevitably be a little out of place.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to let him sit down, Yang Guang suddenly interjected and smiled: "Come to Hu'er, since Cheng Biting Jin wants to play, you can let him play, it's just a spinning top, it's harmless." ”
"Okay......" Laihu'er smiled bitterly, Your Majesty is too open-minded, right?
As for Cheng Biting Jin, seeing that Yang Guang was supporting him, he couldn't help but feel confident, holding a spinning top in one hand and a leather whip in the other, and after asking the eunuch for instructions on how to play, he couldn't wait to whip the spinning top in the open space in the center of the banquet.
The sound of "crackling" is endless, and it feels like a firecracker.
And the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the high-speed spinning top, and unconsciously, most of the officials present were attracted by it.
Seeing this scene, Yang Guang did not feel strange at all.
Because for Da Sui, the spinning top is an extremely fresh toy after all, not to mention those children, including these dignitaries, who have never seen or heard of it.
For unknown things, no matter what your identity is, you will be aroused by curiosity for no reason.
It's human nature!
On the field, Cheng Biting Jin was having a lot of fun, and the others couldn't help but be greedy, and after getting Yang Guang's approval, he immediately borrowed a leather whip and a spinning top from the eunuch palace maid according to the cat and the tiger, and started playing.
Before you know it, more and more people are getting involved (this chapter is not over!). )
Chapter 474: Big Eyes and Small Eyes
Many, the sound of whipping the spinning top is like thunder, even if you stand three miles away, you can hear it clearly.
Empress Xiao pursed her red lips and her demeanor was extraordinarily charming: "I didn't expect that the spinning top is not only popular with these people in the palace, but even the people outside are so fond of it." ”
"Of course, it's not only fun, but also exercise." Yang Guang raised his eyebrows: "Regardless of men, women, old and young, who can not love when they see it?" ”
"Actually, I don't hide it from Your Majesty, concubines sometimes want to have fun, but as a queen, if I don't care about my image, I'm afraid that people will see a joke......" Empress Xiao sighed.
Yang Guang coughed twice and said with a smile: "These courtiers present can put down their shelves, what are you worried about, concubine?" Besides, you can hide in the dormitory and play, anyway, your dormitory space is big enough to not be able to perform......"
"Your Majesty is reasonable, then the concubine will try it when you go back." Empress Xiao's beautiful eyes were full of expectation.
Half an hour later, seeing that the banquet was almost out of order, he had to end it in a hurry. It's just that as soon as the news was announced, Yang Guang saw that many courtiers naturally took leather whips and spinning tops and prepared to leave.
He simply glared at him and shouted, "Stop!" ”
"Huh? Your Majesty, isn't the banquet over? ”
"yes, don't you have something to do yet?"
"Listen to you!"
The ministers were shocked by this voice, and looked back at Yang Guang blankly.
Yang Guang pointed to the spinning tops and other things in their hands and said, "You borrowed something from the eunuchs and palace maids, and now you are going to leave the palace, why don't you return them?" ”
In this way, it will undoubtedly make the ministers wide-eyed.
Got some toys from the minions, and still need to return them? Unheard of! Which play did Your Majesty sing?
Yang Guang glanced at them, and then the old god said: "You may not know very well, the spinning top was invented by me, and then made in large quantities by the craftsman's room and sold to the eunuchs and palace maids. Five
Hearing this, Lai Hu'er smiled heartily: "Your Majesty, you are joking, this is only a few pieces of silver, presumably no one should be able to take care of it." ”
"No!"
Yang Guang said with a straight face: "A spinning top, there is indeed not a few pieces of silver, but so many spinning tops together, how can there be hundreds of taels." ”
"This is all their hard-earned money, they get up early every day and are greedy for the night, all for this broken silver taels, you take their hard-earned money, won't your conscience hurt?"
