Hearing Li Yuan's words, Lu Chen also knew that there was probably still a long way to go for the collection of commercial taxes and the nationalization of salt and iron, but Lu Chen was already confident that he would push out the commercial taxes in the past few years, even if Li Yuan couldn't do it in this dynasty, but when it came to Li Shimin, it would definitely be possible, because after the "purge", the power of the family would definitely not be as huge as it is now.

"It seems that it can only be slowly figured out!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and said helplessly.

"Not bad! Slowly! Li Yuan nodded, "By the way, let Chang Bao find someone to send it directly to my back storehouse!" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and commanded.

"Yes! The minister retired, and he had to give a gift to the prince! Lu Chen got up and said goodbye to Li Yuan.

"The prince still has dividends?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked pretending to be surprised.

"As if you don't know!" Looking at Li Yuan's contrived expression, Lu Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart, "How it was divided at the beginning, you don't know it, and you are still pretending to be surprised here!" But of course Lu Chen wouldn't say it directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a one-percent dividend! After all, this auction is also indispensable for the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan and said slowly.

"Is that the people of the world also there?" Li Yuan nodded, looked at Lu Chen and continued to ask.

"Uh... Yes! Being asked by Li Yuan like this, Lu Chen suddenly had a bad premonition, but he still answered Li Yuan.

"That's good! The two of them each deduct half of the percent, and you can send the remaining half to them! Li Yuan said without hesitation.

"It's... Not good! Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan with an embarrassed expression, after all, this is a good share, and half of it is lost in his hand, which is somewhat unreasonable!

"What's so bad! They are my sons, and they deserve to share my worries! Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and said very simply.

"Since Your Majesty has said so, the minister can only obey the order!" Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan again, and then retreated and left.

Chang Bao has been waiting outside the warm pavilion, Lu Chen directly told Chang Bao Li Yuan's explanation, Chang Bao directly recruited a few strong chamberlains, at this time, there was already a palace cart to come over, and several chamberlains began to move boxes to the cart.

"That's it!" The amount of money in each box is fixed, when the amount is reached, Lu Chen directly stopped the action of the several chamberlains from continuing to move the boxes, the empty carriage, led by the forbidden army, left the palace, and the rest of the money on the carriage went straight to the East Palace with Lu Chen.

"Your Highness, Lu Xiangong is here, ask to see His Highness outside!" When he arrived at the East Palace, naturally there was an attendant who ran in to report to Li Jiancheng, and as soon as Li Jiancheng, who was reading a book, heard that Lu Chen was coming, he directly greeted him with the attendant.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness has a good complexion!" Li Jiancheng, who Lu Chen greeted from here, said.

"This is not the credit of Brother Lu Xian!" Li Jiancheng said with Lu Chen with a smile, "This is not the place to speak, let's talk about it inside!" Li Jiancheng directly invited Lu Chen to enter the East Palace.

This is the first time Lu Chen has come to the East Palace where Li Jiancheng is located, and after entering the palace gate, Lu Chen found that this is a miniature version of the Taiji Palace, and all the buildings are very similar to the Taiji Palace, but the size is much smaller.

Lu Chen followed Li Jiancheng into the palace, and the guests and hosts sat down, and at this time, Zheng Guanyin took the palace maid out to serve tea.

"This is the crown princess?" Seeing Zheng Guanyin, who was generously dressed as a crown princess, Lu Chen hurriedly got up and saluted and asked.

"This is the lonely crown princess!" Li Jiancheng nodded, and at the same time introduced his crown princess to Lu Chen.

"Minister, Chang'an County Prince, Lu Chen, I've seen the crown princess!" Lu Chen once again saluted Zheng Guanyin.

"Lu County Gong doesn't have to be polite!" Zheng Guanyin returned the salute to Lu Chen, "Thank you Lu County!" Zheng Guanyin said to Lu Chen with a smile on his face, as for what he meant in the words, Lu Chen could naturally hear it.

"It's just a gesture!" Lu Chen replied with a smile.

"If you want to talk to Brother Lu Xian, you all go down!" After Lu Chen greeted the crown princess Zheng Guanyin, Li Jiancheng directly signaled Zheng Guanyin to withdraw with those palace maids and attendants, leaving him to talk to Lu Chen.

Zheng Guanyin nodded, beckoned directly to those palace maids, and retreated with a group of palace maids, leaving only Lu Chen and Li Jiancheng.

"Brother Lu Xian came to the East Palace this time, but did he have something?" Li Jiancheng looked at Lu Chen and asked.

"This is a gift of money for His Highness!" Lu Chen smiled and said to Li Jiancheng, "Isn't this the end of the auction!" The auction money has also been received, and the share that belongs to His Highness will naturally be sent! ”

"My father is not short of money, why should the virtuous brother be so anxious?" Li Jiancheng smiled and took a sip of the teacup before saying.

"Your Highness is not in a hurry, but Your Majesty is in a hurry! If it weren't for the money sent here, I'm afraid that His Majesty would have sent someone to collect the debt in a few days! Lu Chen also picked up the teacup, tasted it and said with a smile.

"Brother Xian's words are quite reasonable, although the iron-making technique contributed by Brother Xian has increased the output of pig iron, but at the same time, it has also increased the expenditure of the imperial court a lot, and now the income and expenditure of the imperial court are somewhat stretched!" Of course, Li Jiancheng knew why Li Yuan was in a hurry, and said directly with a smile.

Although Li Jiancheng did not participate in politics, what happened in the court, the officials of those families would still mention it in Li Jiancheng's noodles, so Li Jiancheng had some understanding of the treasury of the imperial court.

"That's what the officials are up to! Is it because they can't stand it, they don't develop? Lu Chen pouted directly and said, in fact, what Lu Chen wanted to say in his heart was that since those families cared so much about the court, why didn't they think about the country and share their worries for the country, but instead kept enclosing land and strengthening their families? Isn't it that there is no "court that will not fall for thousands of years, only a family that will not fall for a thousand years" is making trouble?

Hearing Lu Chen's words as if he was complaining, Li Jiancheng could only shake his head and smile bitterly, after all, he also looked at those families unhappy, but for the sake of the layout, he still had to be with those families, and now Li Jiancheng only hopes that this layout can mature quickly and bring a clear sky for Datang.

"It's just..."Seeing that Li Jiancheng didn't speak, Lu Chen also knew that it was still the same sentence, there was no tax, no nationalized salt and iron, how could the country have a healthy finance, this problem could not be solved in a moment, this kind of thing, Li Yuan couldn't solve it immediately, let alone a prince, so Lu Chen was ready to change the topic.

"Just what?" Hearing Lu Chen say the word "just", and then paused, Li Jiancheng looked up at Lu Chen and asked suspiciously.

"It's just that I'm afraid Your Highness can only receive half of the red!" Lu Chen looked at Li Jiancheng and said helplessly.

"Why is that?" Li Jiancheng looked at Lu Chen in surprise and continued to ask.

"The dividends that I gave to Your Majesty just now, and then..." Lu Chen very simply told Li Jiancheng about Li Yuan's deduction of the two brothers and half of the dividends each, Lu Chen didn't carry this pot, so he sold Li Yuan very simply.

"Haha!" Hearing what Lu Chen said, Li Jiancheng laughed directly, "It doesn't matter if my father is less than half a percent here, the cost of the East Palace itself is not too big, but I'm afraid that the people of the world will have to make trouble with Aye!" ”

Li Jiancheng is not talking nonsense, isn't the prince's East Palace expensive? That's definitely a lot of money, but how to compare, compared to Li Yuan and Tiance Mansion, the cost of Li Jiancheng's East Palace is really not comparable, not to mention the huge palace, but there is a literature museum in Tiance Mansion, and there are 3,000 Xuanjia soldiers, which are all raised at Li Shimin's own expense, compared to these expenses, the cost of the East Palace is really not big.

As for Lu Chen, he naturally heard Li Jiancheng's voice, and immediately became very interested in what Li Shimin, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, had after learning that half of the dividends were missing, and even wanted to see if this King of Qin would directly make trouble in front of Li Yuan and have a "grudge father and son game".

"Brother Lu Xian, what are you thinking about?" Li Jiancheng saw that Lu Chen didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something, and asked directly.

"Ahh Hearing Li Jiancheng call himself, Lu Chen hurriedly looked at Li Jiancheng, "I'm thinking about it, if it is according to King Qin's temper, will he run directly to His Majesty and make a fuss!" Lu Chen said and laughed unconsciously.

"Actually, Hongu is also quite curious!" Hearing Lu Chen say this, Li Jiancheng actually nodded approvingly, "My second brother, if you want to say that you are eloquent, you must have some talents, but sometimes you will do some childlike things!" Li Jiancheng said with a smile.

"The things are all in the carriage outside, Your Highness can order someone to move it down, and you have to go and give gifts to His Royal Highness King Qin!" Lu Chen didn't plan to stay here in the East Palace for a long time, it was still necessary to keep a distance, so Lu Chen got up directly and said goodbye to Li Jiancheng.

"Hmmm! Then the palace won't send you! Li Jiancheng got up and said to Lu Chen.

"Your Highness stays!" After Lu Chen saluted Li Jiancheng, he went out of the hall, and someone on this side also left Li Jiancheng's share from the carriage, as for how to deal with it, it was naturally Li Jiancheng's business, and the conversation with Li Jiancheng just now made Lu Chen very anxious to go to Tiance Mansion now, wanting to see Li Shimin's expression when he learned that he was deducted half of the dividends by his father.

Even Lu Chen wanted to see if this guy would really go to Li Yuan to make trouble, and have a "grudge father-son game" about dividends.

Lu Chen took the convoy out of the imperial city and went straight to Tiance Mansion, and on the carriage behind Lu Chen, it was obvious that most of the carriage had become empty, as for leaving, it was still Chang He who led the team to guard, but Lu Chen could no longer see the forbidden army who was beaten by Chang He.
