Sure enough, when he heard that the "goose exchange ticket" was in Princess Lantian's hands, Li Shimin's face suddenly fell.
He loved Wang Youjun's calligraphy very much, and even did a lot of coercion and inducement to do so! But if he wanted to deceive his goddaughter, he still couldn't pull off his old face.
"Since the post is in the hands of Princess Lantian, forget it... let her copy more often, so as to get acquainted with the literary spirit of the calligrapher." With a forced grin, Li Shimin said to Xiao Han with envy,
"OK!"
On the other side, after hearing Li Shimin relent, Xiao Han immediately agreed, as if he was afraid that if he was a second too late, he would regret it!
This also made Li Shimin roll his eyes and secretly wonder: Is this an excuse that Xiao Han had thought up secretly to deal with himself?
However, Li Shimin also knew that no matter whether it was an excuse or not, he had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it.
After saying the "Goose Exchange Notice", since the topic has turned to Xiao Han's daughter, as her adoptive father, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask her a few more questions.
Just this question, the result is not very good!
As they were talking, both of them suddenly realized: Xiao Han led his daughter to rob half of Chang'an City in the past few days and made a lot of money, but he just killed Li Shimin, the most powerful wealthy man in the world. I completely forgot about it!
"Uh... you, what are you going to do? Why are your eyes so unscrupulous?" After suddenly realizing this, Li Shimin's hair stood on end. He looked up and looked at Xiao Han, whose eyes were shining across from him, and his voice was filled with laughter. asked tremblingly.
"Hahaha, it's okay! It's okay!" Seeing Li Shimin acting like a frightened rabbit, Xiao Han hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe the drool that was about to flow from the corner of his mouth, stared at him with bright eyes and said: "This is the child's lucky money, of course. Shouldn't you give it to your adoptive father? I don't ask for too much, as long as it's a little better than the "goose exchange offer"!"
"Not too much? As long as it's a little better than the "Goose Exchange Tie"?" Li Shimin trembled all over when he heard this! He almost fainted on the spot.
If there is something better than "Goose Exchange Tie", then wouldn't it be his most precious thing: "Lanting Preface"?
Good guy, this is not asking for lucky money, this is clearly asking for his life! Could it be that this is the legendary way of stealing the chicken but losing the rice?
"Ahem, it's better than the "Goose Exchange Tie". It's really hard to find. How about discounting it?" Looking at Xiao Han with gleaming eyes, Li Shimin really couldn't help but say no, but he really couldn't bear to "Lanting" Preface "This is the most precious treasure in the world!" I had to ask after trying to discuss it.
"Discount? That's okay!" Hearing this, Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded reluctantly, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Li Shimin: "Bring it!"
"What to take?" Li Shimin swallowed and asked, staring at the dangling claw in front of him, resisting the urge to chop it off with a knife.
"Money!" Xiao Han looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked as if he were looking at a monster: "You didn't say discount just now? Then get the money quickly?"
"No money!" Unexpectedly, Li Shimin shook his head this time.
"Hey, how can you be so confident when you don't have money?" Xiao Han was shocked when he saw this, and took a deep breath and asked: "Are you thinking about love for nothing? You even think about your baby's new year's money. I'm sorry!"
"Uh..." Li Shimin blushed a little when Xiao Han questioned him, but it was a bit embarrassing to think that he was a majestic king who couldn't even give his goddaughter the new year's money.
"It's not about being ignorant, it's about taking it slow. Give it to me after a while!"
Thinking of this, Li Shimin blushed and forced himself to explain. Unexpectedly, Xiao Han didn't believe it at all. He still looked at him sideways and said: "After a while, the New Year will be over!"
"After the New Year, I will definitely give it to you!" Li Shimin nodded angrily! This time, he really felt what it was like for Yang Bailao to be forced into debt during the New Year!
Logically speaking, as the king of a country, he shouldn't be so embarrassed. After all, the money is like that. If you squeeze it, you will always have it!
However, there are so many areas where Datang needs money this year!
We need to raise troops, provide disaster relief, and beware of foreign invaders!
No matter which one of them, they are all gold-eating monsters! So much so that he not only took out all the money from the treasury, but also sealed up all the money from the inner treasury, as well as the offerings from foreign envoys in the past few days, so as to keep them for later use!
At this point, where can we use the money for other purposes?
"Then this time, just owe it first?"
Fortunately, Xiao Han is not Huang Shiren who likes to capture other people's daughters. Of course, he does not have the courage of Huang Shiren... After frowning and looking at the embarrassed Li Shimin, his tone finally relaxed.
"Okay, I owe it first, I owe it!"
Hearing Xiao Han relent, Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief. He muttered a few words at first, and then suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Xiao Han again expectantly: "How about you lend me some more, and wait until When the time comes, will I pay you back the principal and interest?"
"Well……"
Extreme joy brings sorrow, which may be the situation of Xiao Han and Xiao Lizi today.
First, Xiao Lizi coveted the Wang Xizhi calligraphy treasure in Xiao Han's hand, but Xiao Han grabbed his pigtail and blackmailed him!
Later, Xiao Han failed to blackmail him, and even the principal was borrowed!
In the end, after calculating this confusing account, I still don’t know who took advantage and who suffered the loss.
"Tsk, tsk, five hundred thousand guan?"
Don’t borrow from experience, hard work and hard work! After borrowing a little and pushing further, Li Shimin and Xiao Han finally settled on a huge loan of 500,000 yuan!
With such a huge number, not to mention Xiao Han, even Li Shimin's eyes were a little red! Not moved, but purely jealous!
You must know that at this time, within the entire jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, if the income from Jiangnan government operations was not included, the national tax revenue in copper coins for a year was only a mere two million coins!
Although the taxes mentioned here are only copper coins, and some other rents are paid in rice, grain, cloth and silk in lieu of taxes, but even so, it can be seen that this wealth is huge!
Seeing that Xiao Han alone could spend a quarter of the country's annual tax, Li Shimin was jealous and couldn't help but sigh.
He knew Xiao Han was rich before, but he didn't expect him to be so rich!
Moreover, it has only been a few years since the Xiao family started? There is no pretense for personal gain, no corruption or bribery. He has accumulated so much wealth just by himself. What about other centuries-old and thousand-year-old families? How much money should they have hidden in their homes?
Thinking about his own treasury that was so empty that not even a mouse would enter, Li Shimin suddenly realized: In terms of love, the only poor person in the world is him, the emperor!
