At this moment, the entire East Palace fell into silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
Everyone present fell into deep thought.
Sun Cheng's eyes lit up, he touched the mole more frequently, and asked: "Your Highness, are you willing to do that woman's business?"
"this……"
Li Chengqian is in a dilemma!
As the prince, all his thoughts should be on government affairs.
Learn how to govern the country and control the ministers, instead of learning the most despicable business methods.
This is putting the cart before the horse.
Once discovered by the imperial emissary, as the crown prince of the country, he would do nothing but do business with women.
This will have a devastating blow to his reputation.
At this time, Yue King Li Tai slowly stood up and said with a wicked smile: "Brother, the fourth brother has a trick that can defeat the third brother's plan to obtain talents."
"As long as the eldest brother nods and raises funds to build a workshop, I will pay a high price to recruit the talents that the third brother is looking for. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"When the time comes, hahaha... Third brother will have no choice but to cry and faint in Prince Shu's Mansion."
Sun Cheng glanced at Yue Wang Li Tai resentfully, but he didn't expect that the method he just thought of would be overtaken by Yue Wang Li Tai.
But I have to admit that the Yue King Li Tai was much smarter than the prince.
"Prince, I am willing to contribute 10,000 yuan." Changsun Chong immediately shouted excitedly.
Fang Yiai stood up happily: "Prince, I am willing to pay 30,000 yuan for this business, but what I overheard, I should take one-third."
"I am willing to pay five thousand strings."
"I will give you eight thousand swords..."
The sounds of people paying money suddenly came and went, and the whole hall was like a vegetable market.
"Quiet! How is it appropriate to make such a noise?" Li Chengqian scolded.
Then he said seriously: "I am the prince, and I am determined to serve the country and the people. I should learn from my father the knowledge of governing the country. How can I go into business and compete for profits with the people?"
"Who do you think I am?"
Li Chengqian quickly rejected everyone's suggestions and even glared at Sun Cheng.
If it were just the two of them, this might work.
But now there are so many people present, especially the Yue King Li Tai. He, Li Chengqian, is not a fool and leaves his leverage to Li Tai.
Once someone brings this matter to the father, he will be scolded. Otherwise, the position of the prince will be removed.
He half-squinted his eyes and looked at Li Tai for a long time. He felt more and more that this fourth brother had no good intentions in making this tempting suggestion.
He thought over and over again, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Everyone, I have a special status and it is inconvenient for me to participate in your business, but you can do it."
"Now that everyone has raised a large sum of money, there is no need to worry about the funding issue. I can also invest a sum of money in my own name."
"However, there must be someone who takes the lead in this matter. Who do you think is the most suitable?"
Fang Yiai: "Prince, I overheard this matter, and I will do my best to do so."
Changsun Chong: "Prince, I think I am more suitable! Business is the strength of my Changsun family."
Du He smiled lightly: "I think I can do it too!"
Li Chengqian looked at his iron triangle and his face was livid with anger. A bunch of stupid pigs, can you three defeat the King of Shu?
If you don’t lose everything by then, I will call you grandpa!
He ignored these three people and looked at Yue King Li Tai: "Fourth brother, how about...you take the lead in this matter?"
Li Tai knew that this method was proposed by him. If the elder brother didn't want his shoes to get wet, he would naturally let him get his shoes wet.
But he is not afraid of wet shoes. This is an opportunity to rise.
To compete for that position, you cannot rely solely on the pampering of your father, the queen, and your queen, as well as your own talents.
You also need to have money in your pocket, power in your hands, and power behind you.
If this business from the third brother is taken away, not only can he cultivate a group of talents, but mainly make money, and even the descendants of these civil servants and generals can be tied to his thief's ship.
However, as a human being, you must always be humble!
"Brother, aren't you embarrassing the fourth brother? If I reach out to rob the business brought by the third brother, this will make me unkind and unjust."
"Besides, my fourth brother is young and I'm afraid he will live up to your expectations."
Li Chengqian listened to Li Tai's humility and snorted in his heart: "Fourth brother, I leave this matter to you. You don't need to be humble. Big brother believes in you!"
"What do you think?"
Everyone: "..."
They obviously didn't want Li Tai to take the lead. After all, although Li Tai was the fourth prince, he was not well-known and was the youngest. They were not satisfied with Li Tai being the eldest brother.
"What the fourth brother said is what this prince said. Anyone who is dissatisfied should speak out now. If anyone dares to ruin a big thing in the future, this prince will never be soft-hearted!"
"We will obey the prince's instructions!"
"Fourth brother, let's start setting up the arrangements today. Time waits for no one. If third brother succeeds..."
"Don't worry, eldest brother, fourth brother is willing to work for eldest brother."
"Hahaha..." Li Chengqian laughed loudly.
…
"Hahaha……"
In the Tai Chi Hall, the same voice resounded throughout the palace. Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair, and Cheng Yaojin was standing below, with a look of aggrievement on his face.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I have a lot of money, it's the King of Shu who threatens me..."
"He said that if I don't lend him money, I won't give face to the Supreme Emperor, and I won't give face to Your Majesty."
"He also said that he asked Chen Quanzi to follow him. Maybe one day he will rebel, and Chen Quanzi can still get the credit of being a minister who obeys the dragon. Do you think I can follow the King of Shu to rebel against you?"
"So, I can only grit my teeth and lend the King of Shu 20,000 guan, which is enough for my dog to get a wife!"
"His Majesty……"
Li Shimin stopped laughing: "So, you just lent the treacherous son 20,000 yuan instead of giving it to the treacherous son?"
Cheng Yaojin: "???"
What do you mean, Your Majesty?
Can I still get back the money I lent to the King of Shu?
What's the difference between that and sending it?
"Don't look at me with that look, I didn't mean it..."
"I want to ask, the King of Shu is obviously borrowing money, why do you send money to the King of Shu? And the King of Shu did not go to their home to borrow money, but they took the initiative to send money to the King of Shu's palace?"
"Does everyone really care about me?"
"But I feel that I don't have that much face. I usually borrow money from you and others, but you all complain about poverty..."
Cheng Yaojin sighed. He didn't know if His Majesty really didn't know his son's virtue, or if he was acting like an old man.
Most people don't want to experience the despair of meeting your son.
"Your Majesty, if they don't send it away, the King of Shu will let them send it away. We all want to spend money to eliminate disasters."
"Take Jingde for example. When he heard that the King of Shu wanted to borrow money, he went to hide outside the city overnight. He thought that if he was not at home, the King of Shu would have no place to borrow money. Guess what?"
"The King of Shu lived directly in Jingde's house and spent a hundred guan on food, drink and diarrhea every day. He also took the firearms he researched to Jingde's house for research. As a result, during the experiment, it is said that two firewood sheds were blown up... "
"If Jingde never came back, his family might not be there anymore. As a result, when Jingde came back, he looked at the firearms of the King of Shu. As a result, the King of Shu said that this firearm is a sacred weapon for the country. Only His Majesty and he know about it. His Majesty does not allow the second time. These three people know, and those who know will be silenced..."
"Jingde was so frightened that he sold his property overnight and sent the money directly to the Prince of Shu's Mansion, saying that it would be used to sponsor the King of Shu's research and development of firearms."
"As for other people taking the initiative to give money, it is also because they are afraid that the King of Shu will come to their homes...the chickens and dogs are restless!"
Li Shimin: "..."
This son has gone too far, and he has made it clear that he wants to rip off everyone's money!
But it’s hard for everyone to say anything because the son borrowed the money and it’s not like he won’t pay it back!
Even if this matter was reported to him, he could only stare blankly. Zhou Yu was willing to beat Huang Gai, and one was willing to be beaten while the other was willing to suffer. How could he handle it?
Cheng Yaojin couldn't figure out whether His Majesty approved of the King of Shu cheating money, or whether he disapproved of it?
And what did he mean by just asking him?
What does it mean to lend money to the King of Shu yourself instead of giving money to the King of Shu?
"Your Majesty, I also gave the 20,000 yuan to the King of Shu. It should be regarded as sponsoring the King of Shu to develop the artifact to control the country."
"Your Majesty, it is the duty of a minister to take care of the country's worries. It is my duty to do so."
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin in surprise, what's wrong with this guy?
You can give away twenty thousand guan as soon as you say it, and you can say that it is a way to relieve the country's worries?
I asked the King of Shu to develop firearms, and naturally allocated R&D funds from the treasury.
But who doesn’t like free money?
Hey hey hey...my son is rich again, and I can go and bring money home again.
"Cheng Aiqing, you are indeed a person who cares about the country and the people. It is my good fortune and the country's good fortune to have such ministers!"
"If there are still ministers who want to sponsor the research and development of firearms to share the country's worries and my worries, let them go ahead and sponsor them. I would like to thank them on behalf of the King of Shu."
"Hey, they are all my good ministers!"
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and wanted to slap himself twice.
He looked at Li Shimin and could only sigh in his heart, these father and son were really in cahoots!
You earn money and allow yourself to do that thankless job, but he still has to do it.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go and publicize it now."
Li Shimin watched Cheng Yaojin leave, then turned around and said, "Is there any news about Li Shu? Where did the traitor hide the money? What are you doing now?"
Wang De quickly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to the news, the King of Shu posted a notice last night to recruit workers today."
"So far, the number of applicants for the Shu Palace has reached 12,000, but in the end, 500 servants and 20 senior managers were selected."
Li Shimin was shocked, what on earth did this traitor want to do?
Made the battle so big?
"Why did he bring so many people together? Do you really want to rebel?"
Wang De twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the King of Shu said that he is starting a business and wants to build the largest high-end club in Chang'an City, with supporting catering, restaurants, takeaways, entertainment and other services."
"And these people he selected are the team members for his business."
Li Shimin frowned. Although he didn't understand what high-end clubs were and new terms like takeout, he could think of what his son wanted to do.
Isn’t it just to upgrade the brothel?
"This beast is not doing his job, and I'm so angry..."
He hoped that Li Ke would learn government affairs skills from him, so that even if he did not become emperor in the future, he would be able to serve as a pastor for the Tang Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, the King of Shu also asked an interesting question today to test the twenty administrators of the school."
"Oh? What's an interesting question?" Li Shimin raised his head and asked with interest.
"The King of Shu gave the twenty people a hundred combs each. If they sell the combs to the monks in the major temples within one day, they can become his confidants and earn ten combs a month!"
Selling a comb to a monk?
