Chapter 25: It's a routine
Empress Changsun was very happy to be said by Li Ke at this time, not because he gave him things, but because Li Ke said that every successful man has a virtuous woman behind him, which made Empress Changsun very happy, she and Li Shimin have not been wronged over the years.
It's just that a lot of grievances can only be swallowed in her stomach by knocking out her teeth and tears, even if she becomes the queen, in fact, there are a lot of bad things, and the harem is not so peaceful, it can only be said that because Li Shimin has a good relationship with her, the two of them are very affectionate.
So although some of the concubines in the harem made trouble and had some careful thoughts, they still respected her.
The entire harem eldest grandson queen did not let Li Shimin worry about it a little.
"That can't be, Ke'er, you spent all the money to research it, and the queen mother can't let you pay it for nothing." Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "How much are you going to sell this mirror for?" ”
"Queen Mother, Erchen said that if you don't let you spend money, you won't be allowed to spend money, not only you, like my younger sisters, I will definitely prepare a gift for them, as well as Erchen's mother and several other concubines, these sons have to prepare, this is what you must do as a son and brother!"
"Although Erchen is usually a bit of a bastard, Erchen is a responsible man, and Erchen will not shirk the responsibility that belongs to his son! It's a man's commitment. "What Li Ke said is called a righteous and awe-inspiring, righteous words!
Li Shimin's face next to him was dark, he had already recovered a little bit, okay, you are hinting at Lao Tzu, right? Chang Lin, who was standing not far away, was holding back very hard, and he could hear it, the problem is that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has already said this, do you say that Your Majesty can really not express this?
"That's it!" Li Shimin spoke directly.
Hearing Li Shimin speak, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, Dad, you finally spoke, I won't be able to make it up if you don't speak.
"What you said is indeed reasonable, this money can't be let out of you and can't be let out of your mother, so only your father and I will come out." Li Shimin's tone couldn't help but be a little yin and yang.
"The elder doesn't dare to quit." Li Ke bowed his hand.
Li Shimin: "......" He almost couldn't help kicking out, he can see it now, this kid reads well, but he reads well, it doesn't mean that he is not a little bastard!
People read books to raise their temperament, but it turns out that you are a good kid, and reading is your tool, right? This little word is neat and tidy, what about squeezing Lao Tzu here?
The problem is that Li Shimin can't say that what Li Ke said is wrong, and he is an emperor, and he has said everything, can he regret it?
"How much does your full-length mirror cost?" Li Shimin pointed to the mirror and asked with black lines on his head.
"Not much, that's the number." Li Ke stretched out a finger.
"You don't have much to call it? 10,000 you also called the exit?! Li Shimin glared at his eyes and said.
Yes? Do you give such a high?! Then I'm going to have to raise the price.
"Dad, you don't understand, who can use this full-length mirror in the entire Tang Dynasty? Only you can use it, you, my mother, and several concubines can use it, at most, even my sisters, this is a limited edition, and others they can't use it and don't dare to use it. Li Ke said seriously.
"You see, this mirror is all high-end custom! This can be a lot of craftsmanship, and it took Erchen three years to make this batch of mirrors to develop successfully, and it has only recently been made. Li Ke pointed to the mirror seriously and said.
Li Shimin looked at the full-length mirror as tall as him, and thought about it, but it was true, except for them, it was impossible for Li Ke to sell it to anyone else.
"That's a lot." Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.
"There are seventeen in total, you can give 160,000 yuan." Li Ke bent down directly.
Li Shimin calculated in his heart, don't say it, this guy is really a number calculated in advance.
"What's the matter, your father is missing that 10,000 yuan?" Li Shimin squinted at him and asked.
"Of course not!" Li Ke was in good shape, and said seriously: "There is a mirror in which the son of the minister honors you." You buy mirrors for my mother, my sisters, and that is your responsibility as a man, as their husband, as a father, and I can't take away your responsibility! This is your commitment to a better life as a manly husband who stands up to the sky! ”
"But Erchen honors you, for the sake of Your Majesty who works day and night for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and for the younger generations who help Erchen, son-in-law, Changle, eldest brother, etc., to build a prosperous Tang Dynasty, so that we can enjoy happiness with peace of mind!"
"Maybe you didn't notice that you already have gray hair on your head, you are still so young and strong, but you have gray hair after working day and night, this filial piety is not as good as one ten-thousandth of what you pay, but this is already the greatest ability of Erchen." Li Ke said "sincerely".
Li Shimin was stunned, and Empress Eldest Sun was also stunned, Li Ke's words were all in the vernacular, no words, and no allusions, but it was such a big vernacular that Li Shimin was a little touched, he glanced at Li Ke silently, and then snorted coldly: "Hmph!" What kind of incendiary feelings, Lao Tzu lacks your money? Give you 200,000 yuan, even if you still have a little conscience, remember your mother, concubine, sisters. ”
"Thank you, Father! However, the son of the minister took this money is really a little disadvantaged, so the son wants to use the money to do something, and he also hopes that his father and queen mother will agree. Li Ke said with a "ashamed" face.
"What do you want to do?" Empress Eldest Sun also asked with some emotion.
"That's right, over the years, with the gradual strengthening of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, through the various natural disasters in the previous years, the situation of the Tang Dynasty has gradually stabilized, but with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the population of Chang'an City is also increasing, and Erchen noticed that there are many young beggars in Chang'an City, and there are some victims from other places outside the city."
"The number of these victims is increasing, although they have some people who give them some work to do on a daily basis, but in fact, the money they earn can only feed themselves, and last winter, Erchen noticed that many victims were frozen to death outside Chang'an City."
"Although it is like where there is sunshine, there are shadows, and there are such people in any dynasty, but if there are too many of them, it will inevitably affect the stability of Chang'an, and it will also affect the reputation of your father."
"So Erchen is going to use this money to build a Tang Royal Welfare Park on the Wei River in the northwest of Chang'an City." Li Ke said seriously.
"What does this do?" Li Shimin frowned.
"Erchen is going to put some of the work of the commercial bank under the name of Erchen in this park, and then the main recruitment of personnel will give priority to these disaster victims and beggars, especially these beggars, many of them are still young, if they are allowed to grow up like this, they will inevitably become some green-skinned gangsters when they grow up, which is harmful to the country and the court."
"Erchen is going to gather them back, provide them with some food and drink, and then let them do some work that can be done appropriately to support themselves, so that when they grow up, whether they become ordinary people or join the army of the Tang Dynasty to fight for the country, this is a matter of benefit to the country, so that they can be counted in one fell swoop."
Li Ke said seriously.
