Chapter 60 Money

Li Shimin was stunned at first, but then reacted and laughed heartily: "Good boy." ”

"Good one to sit and watch."

"Okay." Li Shimin's heart was happy, why didn't he want to get along like this, and slowly stood up and said to Empress Eldest Sun.

"Guanyin, let's invite this kid to sit in the house, shall we?"

After the eldest grandson Wuji received the order from Li Shimin, he went straight to the household department.

When he arrived at the household department, he called Xiao Li, the head of the household department.

"Lord Xiao, in accordance with Your Majesty's will, this official has come to receive some money for the purchase of land."

Xiao Li flipped through the account book, a little embarrassed.

The eldest grandson Wuji was puzzled: "Lord Xiao, what is this doing? ”

Xiao Li sighed and said, "Lord Hui, the tax accounts of various places have not yet arrived this year, and the amount of disaster relief funds a while ago is relatively large. ”

"A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites spent a lot of money, and there is really not much money in the inventory of this ministry."

"I wonder how much money you need to spend?"

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "How can I get ten thousand." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Li's face suddenly became even worse.

Don't look at the 100,000 or 100,000 or 100,000 in modern novels, it seems to be a very common thing.

But in fact, in the early Tang Dynasty, Wanguan was really not a small number.

Converted into the purchasing power of the present world, it is equivalent to about 10 million RMB.

Xiao Li smiled bitterly: "Lord Eldest Sun, how much land does the emperor want to buy?" ”

The meaning of these words is obviously that he feels that the eldest grandson Wuji has too much money to spend.

In fact, it is not to blame that the eldest grandson Wuji Lion opened his mouth widely, and the silver purchased from the barren mountain actually only accounted for a small head, and the big head was to build temples and worship.

You must know that this worship was approved by His Majesty himself, so it is natural that it must be solemn.

All kinds of ritual utensils have to be recast, and they all have to burn money.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't hear the meaning of Xiao Li's words, and said helplessly: "Lord Xiao, this is what Your Majesty meant." ”

Xiao Li sighed, handed the account book to the eldest grandson Wuji, and said, "Please take a look at the eldest grandson, there is really not much left in the treasury." ”

"The rest of the military expenditures, disaster appropriations, water conservancy projects, and the expenses of the six ministries add up to 7788, I'm afraid it's a deficit."

"If it is not necessary, please persuade Your Majesty."

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the account book, and it was exactly what Xiao Li said, there was only more than 300,000 yuan in the account, and it was inevitable that he would be in a dilemma.

Buying a mountain to worship is just a dream that Qin Shou has, if it can really bless the Tang Dynasty with smooth wind and rain, and become stronger and stronger, forget it.

But no matter how you put it, it's a dream.

He didn't know about worship, it was just a scene to comfort his heart.

For this cutscene, it costs so many silver taels at once.

Is it really worth it?

The eldest grandson Wuji thought about this, and he was also a little hesitant.

After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji said slowly: "That's it, I just looked at the account book, and there are still more than three thousand fractions." ”

"Adults, let's just spend on them."

Xiao Li saw that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and he no longer dissuaded him, and ordered his subordinates to go and count out the copper coins.

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji asked a little more, "Dare to ask Lord Xiao, is there still a surplus of silver taels in the Qionglin Treasury?" ”

Xiao Li pondered for a while, took out another account book and checked it carefully, and said: "A few days ago, I just put three thousand guan into the warehouse, and now there are nearly four thousand guan in the Qionglin library. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was overjoyed when he heard this, although 6,000 guan was not much, but he was able to do this worship ceremony in a decent way.

Hurriedly said: "Quickly take out three thousand pieces." ”

Xiao Li's face was embarrassed, and he said in a tangled manner: "Lord Eldest Sun, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" ”

Previously, Empress Changsun had already taken a large amount of money from Qionglin Treasury.

If you let the eldest grandson go away again, what will your majesty do when he is angry with himself?

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't think about this, Qionglin Treasury is Li Shimin's small treasury, in order to fulfill the wish of his eldest son.

Presumably, His Majesty is still willing to pay for this money.

Besides, this is His Majesty's personal dictation to find the household department to receive money, but it is not said that it is not allowed to spend from the Qionglin Treasury.

The eldest grandson Wuji said bitterly: "Lord Xiao, I can't hide it, this money is naturally not all used to buy land, but His Majesty ordered me to arrange the worship." ”

"So it's a little more expensive."

Worship?

This made Xiao Li's heart beat a rattle, of course he didn't think that the eldest grandson Wuji was lying, it was a crime of bullying the king.

But it is said that the worship is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, so why did Your Majesty let the eldest grandson handle it.

There must be unspeakable reasons for this.

Can't think about it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Li didn't dare to prevaricate anymore, and immediately sent someone to Qionglin Library to get some money.

Go to the house and sit for a while, which house?

Qin Wangfu? Tai Chi Palace?

"Now?" Qin Shou was slightly stunned, it seemed that Li Shimin was really going to have a showdown.

Li Shimin took a sip of tea lightly, looked up at Qin Shou, and said casually: "Yes, do you have other important things to do?" ”

Qin Shou smiled and said, "That's not true, it's just that I've been running around before, and I haven't had time to eat yet, so I'm a little hungry." ”

Li Shimin smiled and didn't speak.

I heard the anxious voice of Empress Eldest Sun, "Haven't you eaten all day?" ”

Qin Shou smiled and replied, "When I went out in the morning, I ate some, but I didn't eat lunch." ”

Empress Eldest Sun's eyes were full of worry, and she reproached softly: "You kid, you can't miss three meals a day. ”

"No matter how busy you are in the future, you will also find time to eat some to cushion your stomach."

This is the mother, just like a wanderer who goes out, and the most important thing about being a mother is not that the child can make a contribution.

It's about three meals a day, whether you can eat the meals, and whether you can eat enough.

Lao Li and his wife both had lunch before leaving the palace, so most of the dishes ordered in the private room were snacks.

Qin Shou went to the back kitchen by himself.

Zhang Sanniang was busy with work, and when she saw the main family coming in, she was about to put down the spoon and say hello.

Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "Sanniang, you are busy with you, I'll come over and find some food pads to pad my stomach." ”

I saw a few pieces of bread on the table, and I was about to reach for them.

Zhang Sanniang hurriedly said: "Son, the cake is cold, I'll heat it up for you and fry it again." ”

Qin Shou smiled and took a piece of cake and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I see that the guests in front of me are waiting, you are busy with yours first." ”

Zhang Sanniang couldn't help but say that she put the freshly fried vegetables in a bowl and brought them to the table.

Qin Shou looked at the bowl full of dishes, crying and laughing, "Sanniang, this is the dish ordered by the guest." ”

Zhang Sanniang said nonchalantly: "But just make a new one, it won't get in the way." ”

"You are from the Lord's family, so you can eat a cake, and what kind of taste can it have."

After Qin Shou ate the grass and grass, he trotted all the way to the door of the wine shop.

Lao Li and Empress Changsun were already waiting in front of the carriage at this time, and there was a sturdy coachman next to them.

Seeing Qin Shou trotting over, Empress Eldest Sun complained slightly: "How can anyone run around just after eating, be careful that it will not be comfortable for a while." ”

Qin Shou responded with a smile: "Thank you aunt for your advice, don't dare next time!" ”

But looking at that look, I didn't pay any attention to it.

Empress Eldest Sun said helplessly: "You kid..."
