Chapter 205: Lanling Xiao Family

Now the annual tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty is about 12 million guan, Li Xiang now has so much money, and it is still producing every day, this is definitely a very fatal thing, of which there are still two million guan money handed over to the imperial court, if you don't pay it, I'm afraid the assets can be millions more than a few million guan.

Take this expedition to Tuyuhun as an example, a total of four million guan money was spent before and after, and the Tang court was already a little unbearable, this is because the end is relatively fast, if it ends slowly, there will be millions of guan money spent every month.

If Li Shimin knew that Li Xiang had so much money, it would be strange if he didn't fight his idea, after all, now Datang is full of holes, although it looks thriving, but the previous foundation is too thin, and there are still so many places to spend money all over the country, even if Li Shimin makes this windfall, I am afraid that the holes in the future will not be blocked.

"Why is the cost of the East Palace less than before?"

Li Xiang continued to look down, and when he saw the expenses of the East Palace, he couldn't believe it, when he was just reborn, the monthly expenses of the East Palace were about four hundred yuan, and now they have been reduced by nearly half every month.

"The population of the East Palace has decreased a lot, so the cost has naturally decreased."

When Li Chengqian said this, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and every family was happy with Tian Ding, but if there were fewer people, Li Chengqian, as the head of the family, would naturally be uncomfortable.

Only then did Li Xiang remember that the crown princess Hou and those under him had been expelled, and now the crown princess was empty.

Of course, Li Xiang hopes that his mother can become the crown princess, but his mother is from a humble background, if she becomes the crown princess, it is estimated that many people will oppose it.

Li Xiang only felt at this time that he might have done something wrong, it was better to keep the crown princess in the East Palace, with this princess in front of him, the emperor would definitely not give other people over, if there was a new crown princess, what if it was difficult for his mother?

However, Li Xiang quickly shook his head, this kind of thing should not happen, the so-called mother is more expensive than the son, although Li Xiang is not said to be in power, but people up and down have also seen it, Li Xiang's future is immeasurable, if you bully his mother, do you have to touch your neck is an extra head?

"Father's previous accounts should also be paid off, our East Palace should not owe money to others, this should be written off."

Li Xiang pointed to one of the lines and said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used to mess around, and owed a total of tens of thousands of foreign debts, which is not a small amount of money, but Li Xiang did not speak, and Li Chengqian was embarrassed to take his son's money to repay the debt, and he had already repaid it before, so when Li Xiang said this, Li Chengqian nodded very contemptuously on the surface, but in his heart he was already happy to go to heaven, after all, with the dignity of the prince of a country, how could he be willing to let these people come to collect debts every day?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, His Royal Highness King Wu has come down."

Hearing Qian Ping's voice, the father and son glanced at each other, and their father and son still had the same opinion on Wu Wang Li Ke, because of Wu Wang Li Ke's background, this person could not inherit the throne, but he was a very talented person, so both of them felt that this person was available.

Although Wu King Li Ke later joined the struggle for the crown prince, but at that time Li Chengqian had been abolished, Wu King Li Ke felt that there was not much gap between his identity and Wei King Li Tai, so the two launched an open and secret fight, and finally the eldest grandson Wuji had a plan and killed Wu King Li Ke directly.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I've seen the third uncle."

The three big men saluted each other, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, just nodded, and then sat on the main seat, and after Li Ke, the king of Wu, got up, Li Xiang got up again.

"Big brother's face is very good for a while."

It's strange to say, the two of them often met in the past, but according to the observation of Wu King Li Ke, Li Chengqian's whole body was like being surrounded by demonic energy, and Wu King Li Ke was not willing to get close to this person, and always felt that something bad would happen, but at this moment, seeing Li Chengqian's red face, could it be that even his complexion could be changed?

"This period of time is mainly busy, I heard that Concubine Shuniang is not feeling well these days, and I haven't visited here, can you see it?"

Listening to his father's chat, Li Xiang knew that the third uncle's mother had been in poor health recently, and since the death of the eldest grandson, the lady concubine had almost acted as the queen, after all, Li Shimin also liked the princess of the previous dynasty very much.

"The mother's health has improved a lot, thank you for the eldest brother's concern."

Wu Wang Li Ke was also surprised in his heart, you must know that Li Chengqian had never asked about these things before, not to mention that Concubine Yang Shu was sick, even if the eldest grandson queen was sick, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not go over to ask, every day is to make up his own strange things, or to tease dogs and walk horses in the East Palace every day.

"Didn't you bring back some Tuyuhun stuff from the grassland? Send someone to send some of it to the mother. ”

In front of outsiders, Li Chengqian still has the style of a prince, Li Xiang honestly stood up and bowed down to answer, which is also part of the royal etiquette.

"Thank you, eldest brother, there is one more thing about the younger brother, about Xiang'er's marriage......"

As soon as Wu Wang Li Ke said this, Li Xiang immediately felt a little uncomfortable, according to the marriage of his imperial grandson, even his father and uncle are not qualified to interfere, I don't know what Wu Wang Li Ke means?

Lanling Xiao family?

When he heard these words, the system immediately instilled a lot of information into Li Xiang, in the Western Han Dynasty, this was also one of the families, and it was once regarded as the top gate valve in this land, but after entering the Sui Dynasty, with the fall of Emperor Yang of Sui, the whole family began to decline.

The reason why such a thing happened is also because the Xiao family and Emperor Yang of Sui are too deeply bound, the eldest lady of the Xiao family at that time married Emperor Yang of Sui, this is the famous Empress Xiao in history, who was once married to several emperors, and it is unattainable, although it is not a top family now, but it also has good strength, if it is to marry their family, it will not disgrace Li Xiang.

The youngest daughter of Xiao Yu, the former prime minister of the dynasty......

This is also a top family girl......
