Xu Yanbo was so shocked that his whole body trembled.
It is simply unheard of to do business in partnership with the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor is the emperor, and the ministers are ministers. The emperor and his ministers hold the world's government in their hands. How could the emperor do such a lowly businessman's business? If you say anything, you might offend people, right?
Li Qinzai wondered why Xu Yanbo had such pedantic ideas.
"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty also had to make money and spend money. There were so many eunuchs and maids in the palace. How could they eat, drink or have sex without spending money? The imperial treasury spent too much money. The courtiers below were admonishing one another and impeaching one another. Your Majesty is also very annoyed, right?"
"You make money and spend it yourself, which reduces the burden on the treasury, silences the courtiers, and leaves you with dignity and dignity. How could your Majesty not agree?"
Xu Yanbo was dumbfounded. This logic... is completely correct.
Li Qinzai felt that it was only natural.
In this era, although I have some respect for the imperial power, I don't regard Li Zhi as a god who does not eat the fireworks of the world. He also sent toilet paper to Li Zhi who was paying tribute in person.
The principles of the world are always the same.
The emperor is also a human being, and as a human being he has troubles. The biggest trouble for mankind since ancient times has been lack of money, and the emperor is no exception. How could he refuse to make money?
As early as the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Taizong Li Shimin wanted to rebuild the long-abandoned Daming Palace project, but because of lack of money, he was stopped by the courtiers as soon as he started talking.
The famous remonstrator Wei Zheng grabbed the ground with his head and cried bitterly in the Golden Palace. It was as if Li Shimin would be a cowardly tyrant who could not be seen in the ages as long as he dared to add another tile to the Daming Palace. He vowed to die to make his ambition clear.
After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he thought about the emperor's addiction to doing whatever he wanted, so in the fourth year of Yonghui, he proposed to renovate the Xianchi Hall, Wangyunting and Qianbu Corridor in the harem of Taiji Palace. However, he was also remonstrated by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. There is only one reason, lack of money.
Since the beginning of the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty has been using troops abroad almost every year. After Li Zhi came to the throne, the use of troops was not so frequent, but there were several large-scale wars, and each war cost money and food.
The people and the treasury are now in a period of recuperation. It is true that they are short of money, and it is also true that the emperor is living in poverty.
So, how could Li Zhi refuse to make money? It's totally unreasonable.
Although the business of merchants is despicable, it is just a talk between the Tian family and the powerful. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, which powerful family does not have one or two caravans making a lot of money from doing business?
Earning 100,000 yuan a year and saving it for two or three years is enough to build a new palace. Isn't it delicious?
Besides, if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty takes a stake, this deal can basically go all over the world. The protective umbrella will be useful even in Persia. The stall will be bigger and the money will be more. Why not?
After Li Qinzai patiently explained to Xu Yanbo, Xu Yanbo suddenly understood.
"That's right, the emperor can't have trouble with money, especially his own money." Xu Yanbo laughed loudly.
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Since Brother Xu has no objection, I will mention it to His Majesty someday when I have an opportunity. Your Majesty will probably not refuse."
Xu Yanbo said anxiously: "Why bother to change the date? Today we will go to the palace to see His Majesty. Wouldn't it be better to talk things over and make money as soon as possible?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "Brother Xu, I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. Can you let me finish the big thing before we talk about it?"
Only then did Xu Yanbo realize it. He smiled awkwardly, then stood up and apologized: "It's Brother Yu's fault. Brother Yu is too unstable. Congratulations to my dear brother on his wedding. The Xu family will surely give me a small gift in the future. We can talk about the business later." .”
Li Qinzai rubbed his forehead.
I just want to be a salty fish, why is my schedule so tight now?
The salted fish is about to turn into a live fish, which is not a good trend.
Quickly solve the messy things in front of you, and after getting married, take your mother-in-law and children back to Ganjingzhuang to work as a rural teacher.
In Li Qinzai's eyes, Ganjingzhuang is like an eaves, especially suitable for hanging salted fish.
…………
Xu Yanbo said goodbye happily, and Li Qinzai personally escorted him out of the gate. As soon as he turned around and stepped through the door, he felt a pain in his ears.
Mrs. Li Cui lurked behind the door and waited for an unknown amount of time. She grabbed Li Qinzai's ear tightly, causing Li Qinzai to gasp in pain.
"Sure enough, you are really promising. I have been secretly discussing with that boy from the Xu family for a long time, and it is said that I have come up with a new thing that can turn water into ice. What do you two want to do?" Mrs. Li Cui said with a bad look.
"Mom, it hurts! Let go!" Li Qinzai half-bowed and said, "Of course I want to discuss doing business with him, otherwise what can I do?"
Mrs. Li Cui became even more furious: "Why should you partner with a boy from the Xu family for this new thing you made? It's a waste of money!"
"Because eating alone will shorten your life!" Li Qinzai replied immediately.
Mrs. Li Cui was stunned for a moment, and then got angry: "What's the truth! Do the business of the Duke's Palace have to be helped by outsiders? Who in the Tang Dynasty dares not to give face to the British Duke's Palace?"
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, that's not the truth. A big tree attracts the wind, and a tree is beautiful in the forest... Forget it, if I don't want to explain, you might as well ask dad. If he says that the kid is not doing something right, the kid will immediately reject the partnership with the Xu family. This deal."
Mrs. Li Cui said angrily: "What truth doesn't make sense to my mother, so I have to ask your father? Does your father, a scholar, understand the truth?"
Li Qinzai said strangely: "Of course scholars understand the truth, what else?"
The mother and son were arguing when a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Qin Zai did nothing wrong. A big tree attracts the wind. Eating alone will eventually lead to disaster."
The mother and son turned their heads and saw Li Siwen standing in the corridor with a calm face. The breeze came slowly, and a wisp of green beard under his chin moved slightly in the wind. He had a somewhat elegant and elegant temperament.
Even though the relationship between father and son is not very harmonious, Li Qinzai had to secretly praise him. He still has a very good image as a father, middle-aged but not greasy, and a handsome uncle-like guy.
Li Cui obviously didn't think so. After a moment of confusion, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Li Siwen's green beard, pulled it hard and said, "Why are you pretending to be a god? The new secret recipe that your son has come up with has been leaked out again. , Do you know? Both big and small are prodigal, why is my life so miserable!"
Li Siwen grimaced in pain and said in embarrassment, "How can Madam be unreasonable? What a prodigal son? How have I ever been a prodigal?"
"You are a loser. Why don't you accept it?"
"What are you doing!"
"Li Siwen, do you want to overthrow the world?"
Li Qinzai smiled and turned to leave.
The whole family is happy and happy, this is called happiness.
After Cui Jie got married, she dared to be so aggressive. She was beaten without mercy and even took off her pants.
…………
In the evening, after Li Qinzai left some questions for Qiao'er, he walked out of the room alone and took a walk in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.
The wedding was only two days away, and Li Qinzai was originally in a very calm mood, but when he heard that Cui Jie had also come to Chang'an and was waiting to be married in the Cui family's courtyard, Li Qinzai became a little uneasy.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Li Qinzai could not deceive himself.
He missed her a little.
Presumably Cui Jie was in the same mood as him, or even worse than him. Maybe she was pacing back and forth anxiously in the other courtyard, howling at the moon, like a hungry wolf in the zoo at four o'clock in the afternoon.
It is a rule that newlyweds should not meet each other before the wedding ceremony, and this rule has been passed down for thousands of years.
But... aren't rules meant to be broken?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Li Qinzai suddenly stopped.
He decided to treat himself as a medicine, a medicine to relieve lovesickness.
"Ah Si, Liu Ah Si! Where did he go?" Li Qinzai shouted loudly.
