"There is nothing wrong here, but your dividend will probably be reduced by half!" Lu Chen looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile.
"Why?!" Hearing Lu Chen say that his dividends were reduced by half, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and his voice suddenly became a little louder, "Could it be that those buyers still have outstanding debts? If so, Lu Shimin The county prince directly told me whose family it was, and I personally came to ask for it!"
Li Shimin said directly with a cold look in his eyes, "Good guy, how dare he owe Li Shimin money?" I wonder if with this money, his Tiance Mansion’s finances will improve a lot? Don't those people know how much it will cost him to support the three thousand Xuanjia Army? This money can supplement a lot of expenses in this area. People say that their princess is frugal. That is because he, Li Shimin, does not have much money. Otherwise, he, Li Shimin, would not let his Guanyin maid treat her like this.
"That's not the case!" Lu Chen shook his head directly.
"Why is that?" Li Shimin looked at Lu Chen and asked again.
This time Lu Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing and others, and everyone naturally saw the look in Lu Chen's eyes. Li Shimin nodded directly. After everyone saluted Li Shimin, they exited the front hall and directly left the front hall. The hall was left to Lu Chen and Li Shimin.
"Mr. Lu, can we talk this time?" Seeing everyone retreating, Li Shimin looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"It's your Majesty!" Lu Chen looked at Li Shimin and said, and Lu Chen's expression also showed why he asked Li Shimin to reject everyone else. The main thing was that he had to say it out. It was really hard to say, but the emperor He deducted the prince's dividends, and his father cheated his son. If this news got out, it would be a big deal.
"My king, Aye?" Li Shimin looked at Lu Chen in disbelief. After all, Li Shimin never imagined that his father would cheat him out of his money.
"It is indeed your Majesty, this is what happened..." Lu Chen told the truth about Li Yuan's direct deduction of half of the dividends from him and Li Jiancheng. Although Lu Chen commented on the surface, he still felt sorry for Li Shimin's acceptance. I am full of expectations for how it will perform next.
"This..." After hearing what Lu Chen said, Li Shimin was not angry, but looked at Lu Chen silently.
"How much can I have for my half?" After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"There are thousands of guans!" Lu Chen calculated in his mind, and then told Li Shimin a rough number.
"That's enough for now! Didn't there be an auction on the sixth day of the lunar month next month? The auction price then won't be less than now, right?" Li Shimin looked at Lu Chen expectantly and asked.
"It's hard to say!" Lu Chen said noncommittally. After all, after this auction, this kind of glass product has become well-known. If it is to say that the ones that can get the highest price, it is probably the twelve zodiac animals, and the others. I am afraid that the price of glass products will not be higher than this time. As time goes by, Lu Chen will not be able to keep producing glass products like this. When the time comes, they will still need to be sold in the prosperous times. Of course, they will become daily commodities for future generations. In the past, these glasses were sold as luxury goods.
"After all, as the number of auctions increases, these things will also be circulated outside. Except for some orphan items, the other auction prices will probably not be higher than this time!" Seeing that Li Shimin was not convinced, Lu Chen and Li Shimin simply said Analyzed it.
"What you said makes sense!" After listening to Lu Chen's analysis, Li Shimin nodded.
"Isn't His Majesty angry that half of the dividends have been deducted by His Majesty?" Lu Chen looked at Li Shimin and asked tentatively.
"Actually, I am indeed a little angry with Aye, but I know that Aye is not easy. This half percent dividend is enough for my Tiance Mansion to deal with it for a while!" Li Shimin sighed and said, after all, this is Li Shimin, who had conquered most of the Tang Dynasty when the Tang Dynasty was first established, knew the current situation of the Tang Dynasty very well.
"I feel that His Highness should get angry!" Seeing that things were different from what he expected, Lu Chen couldn't help but look at Li Shimin and said. Lu Chen felt that Li Jiancheng was not angry about this because he was the prince, but because he was the prince. Guo Ben, the future king, if he doesn't get angry, outsiders, especially those from aristocratic families, will feel that the prince they "invested in" is dignified and responsible, and worthy of continued investment.
But it's different when it comes to Li Shimin. If Li Shimin doesn't stand up and make a fuss with Li Yuan, he will think that Li Shimin has ulterior motives and criticize him even more. Even those aristocratic families will be wary of Li Shimin at this time and have no idea about the Li family's game of chess. The benefits are actually harmful, and those aristocratic families will re-evaluate both sides.
Of course, those aristocratic families will not hang themselves on a tree. What these aristocratic families are best at is not putting their eggs in one basket. They often play tricks of betting on both sides. It just depends on which basket has more eggs. Not necessarily anymore.
As for the representative figure of hedging his bets, he was Feng Deyi. If someone hadn't reported his behavior later, Li Shimin would not have known that this guy was a hedging bet in the first place.
"Why is that so?" Li Shimin looked at Lu Chen as if he didn't understand what Lu Chen said.
"It's good for chess!" Lu Chen didn't say much, but simply said these four words. Lu Chen believed that with Li Shimin's mind, he could naturally understand what he meant.
"Your Highness, I still have something to do, so I won't delay you any longer here!" Lu Chen stood up and said goodbye to Li Shimin. "As for the princess's medicine, I will discuss it with Dr. Sun when I return to Zhuangzi next time!"
"Since Mr. Lu is still busy, I won't keep you much longer!" Li Shimin nodded, got up and sent Lu Chen out of the front hall.
As soon as the two of them left the front hall, they heard Cheng Yaojin's loud voice: "There are so many boxes in the car, and we only have a few in Tiance Mansion. How can it be justified? We must keep a few more!"
"This guy!" Hearing Cheng Yaojin's voice, Lu Chen couldn't help but look at Li Shimin. The look in his eyes was very clear. It's up to you to take care of your people!
"Zhijie! What are you doing?!" Li Shimin came directly to the front yard and saw Cheng Yaojin unloading boxes from the carriage, while Bei Weiwei on the side could only explain to Cheng Yaojin that these were not the boxes of Tiance Mansion. , but didn't dare to take action. After all, the other party was the Duke of the current dynasty. Another one, Duke Su had always had a good relationship with his father-in-law. Now that he was going to take action, how could his father-in-law survive in terms of his face?
Li Shimin shouted directly behind Cheng Yaojin to stop him.
"Your Highness, we see that there are a lot of boxes on the carriage. Let's ask for a few more for our Tiance Mansion!" Cheng Yaojin heard Li Shimin's voice and turned to look at Li Shimin and said with a playful smile.
"Nonsense! That's all there! How can you move just when you say it!" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin with a sullen face and said.
"Then why do other families have more people than ours?" Cheng Yaojin asked, somewhat unconvinced.
"Hey! There is another reason for this! I will tell you later!" Hearing Cheng Yaojin's question, Li Shimin sighed and said, "Don't obstruct Mr. Lu and his party. Mr. Lu still has things to do. ! Duke Lu, I won’t send you off!" Li Shimin said to Lu Chen.
"Your Highness, stay here! I'll take my leave now!" Lu Chen said goodbye to Li Shimin, and at the same time to Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing and others. He turned around and left Tiance Mansion with his own people and carriage, and went straight to deliver gifts today. The last stop was Li Xiaogong's Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"Your Highness, what's going on?" When Lu Chen took the people away, Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold back his anger and came to Li Shimin and asked directly.
"Half of my dividends have been deducted by Aye. I want to talk to Aye about this matter!" Li Shimin didn't mean anything taboo, and directly said to Cheng Yaojin and the others that he could say these words , but Lu Chen couldn't say that this was the essential difference in their identities.
"Why does Your Majesty want to deduct our Tiance Mansion's share?" Cheng Yaojin continued to ask, somewhat unconvinced.
"The income and expenditure of the imperial court are stretched thin. I am afraid that I, King Aye, have no other way to think of this method. However, the income and expenditure of the imperial court are stretched to the limit, and my Tiance Mansion is not rich! So in this matter, I want to discuss this matter with Ah Ye. Yes, you said it!" Li Shimin said directly and swornly, but whether he was really making trouble for this half of the dividends, I am afraid only Li Shimin knows.
Lu Chen didn't care how Li Shimin discussed with Cheng Yaojin and the others how to use the dividends. He had only one goal today, and that was Li Xiaogong, because after Li Xiaogong pacified Lingnan, he would go to Danyang to quell the chaos. The last rebel king in the early Tang Dynasty, Fu Gong'er.
This time, not only Li Xiaogong participated in the counter-rebellion, but also Li Jing, the "Military God of the Tang Dynasty" whom Lu Chen had just met, and Li Ji, the other God of War of the Tang Dynasty, whose original name was Xu Shiji, also known as Xu Maogong.
Xu Shiji was given the surname "Li". Later, in order to avoid the word "Shi" in Li Shimin's name, the word "Shi" was removed from his name and became Li Ji.
Now Lu Chen has met Li Ji, but Li Ji has not been seen by Lu Chen yet. However, Lu Chen is not in a hurry. After all, he will meet him when it is time to see him. The top priority is to discuss with Li Xiaogong about where he is going. Matters in Lingnan.
Lu Chen directly led his troops to the Prince Zhao's Mansion, only to find that the door of Li Xiaogong's Prince Zhao's Mansion was closed. After Liu Jing called the door, the gatekeeper only opened the corner door, took a look, and then closed it directly. The corner gate had no intention of opening the door for Lu Chen.
This operation made Lu Chen confused. This was the first time Lu Chen encountered someone who came to deliver money and was rejected.
Moreover, Lu Chen felt that he had a good relationship with Li Xiaogong. Why would Li Xiaogong suddenly do this for him? Lu Chen looked at the gate of Li Xiaogong's Prince Zhao's Mansion in confusion and pondered.
