"We ordinary people are so happy today."
Wei Shuyu is in a good mood...
Another 50,000 guan was defrauded, so that would be 110,000 guan.
The money for materials at the bank should be almost there.
The state capitals near Tuyuhun and East Turkestan can wait a while first.
If that's not enough, go to the Supreme Emperor to get some.
"Uncle Yu!"
Just as he was thinking happily, another voice sounded in the distance.
Wei Shuyu took a closer look.
That's not my gift of wealth...ah, isn't it His Highness the King of Wei?
There is no need to bother the Emperor now!
"Your Majesty Wei Shuyu has met King Wei."
Wei Shuyu sent another flattery: "I wish His Royal Highness the King of Wei everything is perfect, everything goes well, everything is lucky, and everything goes well."
Huh?
Xiao Wei is flattering?
What an anecdote for the ages!
"Shu Yu doesn't need to be polite."
Although he was wary in his heart, Li Tai still showed a friendly look on his face: "I just saw the emperor's brother walking in a hurry. Could it be that something big happened?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Wei Shuyu imitated Cui Shenji and shook his head like a rattle.
"Shu Yu, please don't hide this from me."
Li Tai said earnestly: "You have been talking secretly with the servant She and Tang Shangshu in the imperial study for a long time, and I know all about it."
What?
Wei Shuyu's expression suddenly changed: "How dare you place people beside His Majesty?"
"Not only do I know about your secret talks, but I also know that my father has sent people to withdraw money from the treasury..." Li Tai said nonchalantly.
snort.
Wei Shuyu snorted arrogantly: "Just wait until I go to His Majesty to play you a copy."
To this.
Li Tai disagreed.
Still minding his own business, he said: "Brother Huang left in a hurry just now, you must have said something, right?"
"Revealing forbidden secrets, revealing court secrets..."
"This kind of thing is also a serious crime!"
Uh-huh.
Wei Shuyu's complexion changed again.
He pointed at Li Tai and yelled: "Are you threatening me?"
To this.
Li Tai was not angry at all.
Instead, he pressed Wei Shuyu's hand down with a smile.
"What's not a threat?"
"I just want to be friends with you, Shuyu."
While talking.
Li Tai took a step forward and said: "You said there is no deep hatred between us. One more friend is better than one more enemy, right?"
friend?
Wei Shuyu snorted proudly.
"Shu Yu, are you willing to be friends with me?"
Li Tai said with a smile.
Like a cunning little fox.
"So what if you want?"
"So what if you don't want to?"
Wei Shuyu looked loyal.
Just like those upright and upright officials, oil and salt are not allowed to enter.
"If you are willing, could you tell me what you talked about with your father?" Li Tai finally revealed his purpose.
"Is this something you can say casually?"
Wei Shuyu scolded: "You also said you want to be friends with me. I think you just want to harm me!"
Well……
Li Tai was stunned.
Only then did I realize that I was a little anxious.
He immediately changed his words and said: "I am being reckless, so let's change the topic..."
"I wonder what Shuyu and the emperor talked about?"
Wei Shuyu was silent.
You can make your own guess.
I won’t say it anyway.
Seeing this, Li Tai could only continue to persuade with earnest words: "Shu Yu, you can tell the emperor brother, why can't you tell me?"
"I also want to share my father's worries."
Li Tai persuaded...
Time for a cup of tea has passed.
Wei Shuyu was deeply 'touched' and hesitated before replying: "It's not impossible to tell you."
"oh?"
Li Tai's face suddenly became serious: "It's okay to say it, Uncle Yu, I am all ears."
"That's it... cough cough."
Wei Shuyu glanced at the eunuch behind Li Tai.
Li Tai understood instantly.
He waved his hands and said, "Everyone, step aside."
After there were only two people left in the field, Wei Shuyu said...
"Your Majesty is preparing a big plan."
"A big plan involving millions of dollars!"
What?
As expected, Li Tai also looked shocked.
"How much money does your father have?" Li Tai asked subconsciously.
"..."
Wei Shuyu was speechless.
How else could I say this little fat guy is smart?
Li Erqiong immediately came to mind.
"It's true."
Wei Shuyu said seriously: "The prince just went to make money."
"As long as he gets the money, it will be a great achievement!"
Li Tai's eyes flickered.
Suddenly a look of disdain appeared on his face.
"Brother, does he have money?"
Li Tai said contemptuously: "Even if he has money, he dares to take it out?"
"King Wei, don't talk nonsense!"
Wei Shuyu said with a straight face: "The prince may not have money, but for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, he is willing to borrow it!"
Li Tai's face darkened.
The prince will be scolded if he borrows money at the expense of his face.
But borrowing money for Li Shimin was a great achievement.
Not only would Li Shimin not scold him, he would also look at him differently.
"Then what can the emperor give you in return?"
Li Tai frowned.
You can pay your father to give him a few compliments.
But if it’s too expensive, it’s not worth it.
"Who said he should pay it back?"
Wei Shuyu said dissatisfied: "The prince is just helping to raise money, and our Ministry of Commerce will repay it when the time comes."
“Not only that, we will also give you an interest rate of 10% of the principal!”
And interest?
Li Tai now understood why Li Chengqian was in such a hurry.
You can make money and get praise from your father.
This kind of transaction is rare.
"Uncle Yu..."
The smile on Li Tai's face became more and more attentive: "I wonder how much Brother Huang plans to pay?"
"Don't ask any more questions!"
Wei Shuyu glared and said, "After all, I am also the Prince's Attendant. Answering your question already breaks the rules!"
You're such a crappy waiter.
You have been to the East Palace several times since taking office.
"Don't bother me..."
Li Tai stepped forward and asked more enthusiastically: "Shuyu, you were not like this before."
"In the past, you didn't care about anyone's face for the Tang Dynasty."
Yeah?
I'm not afraid of being harsh and scolding you and running away.
“I still can’t say that.
Wei Shuyu said with a straight face: "You can only rely on your own guess."
"If you also want to do your part, I will also report the truth to Your Majesty when the time comes!"
Li Tai pondered.
Based on his understanding of Li Chengqian.
That guy has no brains, so he may pay a lot!
"Is twenty thousand guan enough?" Li Tai held out two fingers.
"Are you sending the beggar away?"
Wei Shuyu's eyes widened: "Is this the pattern of His Majesty the Crown Prince?"
"Fifty thousand guan?" Li Tai stretched out five plump fingers.
"I don't know whether it's fifty thousand or not."
Wei Shuyu turned his head: "Don't ask me again, I won't say more."
Li Tai narrowed his eyes.
He can guarantee that it will definitely be around this price.
And it will not exceed 60,000 yuan.
Because Li Shimin paid 60,000 yuan, it would be bad to overwhelm Li Shimin.
Another point……
Li Chengqian's money was nominally borrowed.
If you borrow a little bit, Li Shimin will feel relieved, thinking that his son knows that he is taking care of his worries.
But if you borrow too much, it would be a prodigal act and bring shame to the royal family.
"I will offer fifty-five thousand guans!" Li Tai said domineeringly.
"..."
The little fat man is so smart.
"I can't say that."
Wei Shuyu solemnly replied: "If King Wei is also willing to help collect some of it..."
"On behalf of all the people in the world, I thank you!"
"And I will also write a memorial to report to His Majesty!"
What I'm waiting for is your words...
And Li Tai didn't have any doubts.
The old Wei family will not be corrupt.
Wei Shuyu controls Wenyun Pavilion and the Ministry of Commerce...
Not to mention that he will not destroy his career because of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"good!"
Li Tai readily agreed: "When the emperor prepares the money, my money will definitely be in place!"
"I'll have to trouble Shuyu to say a few nice words in front of my father..."
