Chapter 53: The witty Li Er made money without losing money
A few people chatted a few words here, and now that it was getting late, they went back to the house and began to rest!
After serving Zhao Mu, Linglong, who was lying on the side, wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong Lingling, is it because you're not feeling well?"
As she grew older, she understood more and more, even if Zhao Mu cultivated her with modern ideas at the beginning.
But how can a person who has lived in such an environment since childhood be completely emancipated by casual thinking?
In response to the old saying, the braids on this head can be easily cut, but the braids in the heart are always there.
I was just a maid that the old man and the old lady bought from the tooth merchant to serve the young master.
If there is no master, old lady, I don't know what my fate will be now.
has been with the young master for so many years, and everything today is given by the young master.
In fact, what Shopkeeper Li said tonight is also right, there are many men in Zhaojiazhuang, who are already married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
However, the young master is over 17 years old and has not yet been married, so if it is spread out, it will not be good for the reputation of the young master!
When Linglong said her thoughts, Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly!
"Linglong, Linglong, it's in vain that I've been teaching you so many years.
After all, your mind has not escaped the shackles of feudal etiquette.
In fact, you are not to blame for this matter, if you want to blame, you can only blame this deep-rooted feudal mentality, which cannot be changed overnight. ”
"Please also ask the young master to punish him!"
"Don't worry, this young master is definitely going to get married.
But you are also my woman, not just my maid, because I am the only one who can call you, do you understand? ”
"It's the young master, thank you, young master."
Linglong smiled like a flower, and the young master's promise was the most trustworthy.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, after breakfast, Li Er and his party left quickly with their things.
When he arrived in Chang'an City, he asked someone to allocate 1,000 yuan from the treasury and arranged for the eldest grandson Wuji to take 500 yuan to his virtuous brother and send it over.
The household officials standing below heard that His Majesty was going to allocate 1,000 yuan to the treasury, although the 1,000 yuan was not particularly much in the treasury.
But His Majesty had no reason for this, and the casual transfer was dissuaded by the household officials!
Li Er was very unhappy after hearing it.
"It is of great use for me to allocate 1,000 yuan from the treasury this time."
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is for the sake of the court and the world, as long as you explain the reason, we will definitely agree.
But Your Majesty, I can't believe the reason you said.
Just these two pieces of iron, it cost a full 1,000 yuan? ”
Li Er is a good emperor, but he is also very distressed at the moment.
can only ask someone to be in his own treasury first, and allocate 500 yuan for the eldest grandson Wuji to send it over first.
looked at the minister of the household department with a displeased face, but the household official only smiled slightly.
As long as he did what he was ordered, Li Er asked someone to call the officials of the Ministry of Works.
The horseshoe was arranged, someone was asked to build it, it was installed on the war horse, and a few generals were called to test it in person.
The speed of the work department was very fast, and 4 pairs of horseshoes were built to fix and install the horses.
When the horseshoe is pulled out, the sound of the horse's hooves stomping is diametrically opposed to the previous sound.
Pedaling, particularly crisp and neat.
Ask someone to take the gravel and sprinkle it on the road for testing.
During horseback riding, gravel is one of the most important factors that can harm a horse's hooves.
Seeing that the whole road was paved with gravel, when the horseshoe was mounted on the war horse galloped.
Everywhere he went, he was like walking on the ground, and everyone was stunned for a while.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Li Er smiled.
"How? Do you feel that my 1,000 yuan is worth it?
With this horseshoe, it only takes a small price to arm all the horses.
Even if you travel thousands of miles a day, you don't have to worry about damage to the horse's hooves.
I'm doing this for the sake of the court, for the sake of the world, so there should be no problem with the transfer in the treasury, right? ”
The old face of the Minister of Tobe couldn't help but twitch.
"Your Majesty, this 1,000 yuan is worth a lot of money."
After some process, 1,000 yuan was put into Li Er's small treasury and completely became his own private money.
This time I spent 500 yuan, and I also earned 500, think about it, the next time such a good thing, I still have to come a few more times.
Li Er asked someone to bring over the war horse that had been injured that day's hooves and put it on them for testing.
It's just a pity that the previous injuries were too bad, and all of them failed without exception.
Although he failed, he couldn't hide his mood at the moment.
Ordered people to slaughter all the wounded horses and let the soldiers open meat.
"Your Majesty, now that I have this horseshoe in Datang, the last general thinks that one of my Datang soldiers can ride one horse.
In this way, these 10,000 war horses can be matched with 10,000 cavalry.
Other war horses can also do the same, in this way, if they fight against the Turks in the future, my Datang's chances of victory will be more stable! ”
"Okay, this matter is up to you, I just want to see the final result!"
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
The officials of the Ministry of Industry took the horseshoe and began to carry out large-scale prevention and control, while the other soldiers went to the barracks, began to select cavalry, and began to train!
Li Er, who returned to the palace, was in a very good mood, and asked someone to go to Princess Runan's palace, called the princess to him, and told her in detail about the marriage!
When the eunuch arrived at Princess Runan's palace, he learned that Princess Runan had gone out hunting with more than 10 guards today, and had not returned.
Hearing this, Li Er had to sigh helplessly.
Her daughter is growing up with her mother, full of righteousness, and she doesn't look like a woman at all.
What's wrong with being a great general who has to aspire to be a great general on the battlefield?
But that's right, as his own daughter, how can she be that kind of soft look.
There are more than 10 elite guards around him, and he is not afraid of any danger from her.
While thinking, Li Er continued to pick up the fold and got busy.
On the other side, the eldest grandson Wuji left Chang'an City with the money and quickly rushed to the direction of Zhaojiazhuang.
Arrived at Zhaojiazhuang, handed over the money, arrived at the palace before the curfew in Chang'an City at night, reported to the mansion, and prepared a good rest.
Outside Chang'an City, a forest.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Today, a group of them went into the mountains and forests to hunt, who knew that the more they were fighting, the deeper they went into the mountains and forests, they had a lot of fun, and they didn't even see that it was already dark.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's already dark this day, are we going back?"
"Why should we go back?
As a general, isn't it common to set up camp in the wilderness?
Come on, make a fire, roast all the prey we have caught today, let's eat, let's set up camp in this mountain tonight, and wait for tomorrow to go back! ”
"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm scared when it's dark!"
"I said Xiaolan, as the princess's personal maid, you are actually afraid?
But forget it, after all, you are just a weak woman, and this princess will protect you tonight! ”
"Princess, it's up to me to protect the princess."
As a golden branch and jade leaf, how can the princess be compared to a slave like her?
"Okay, just listen to me, there are two fur coats, one for each of us, after dinner, we will have a good rest tonight."
"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
