Growing old and becoming better refers to people like Kong Xiaozhe. They have experienced too many vicissitudes of the world, and their abundant life experience allows them to easily form their own judgment on one thing.
Because of this, he knew very well that since there was a second copy of the bamboo slip in the prince's hand, there could not be only two copies.
However, he did not intend to ask further questions, nor did he pay attention to what the royal family was planning to do with these bamboo slips. In any case, the Kong family has no energy to participate. As time goes by, if these bamboo slips can survive the struggle, they will eventually return to the Kong family.
Closing the box and handing it to Kong Yan with both hands, Kong Xiaozhe breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "In that case, Your Highness, I will go back to the auction to see if there is anything that can make my heart flutter."
Li Xian stood up and sent the Kong family out together with Kong Xinyu.
After seeing off Kong Xiaozhe and the others, he did not go back to the auction directly, but came to the location of Yeting Palace.
The auction is just a scene, the real place where money is traded is in Yeting Palace.
Now, the Yeting Palace, which had been silent for who knows how long, is once again lively. Countless carriages are waiting in front of Anfu Gate, sending the copper coins on the carriages into the Yeting Palace. After each order is completed, the next order is moved on. There is nothing that can be done about it. The lowest bid price in this auction has to be thousands of copper coins. Counting millions of copper coins is not an easy task. Because of this, copper coins were not counted in Yeting Palace at this time, but the number of copper coins was judged by weight.
The person in charge of this work was Jiang Hao. Facing this general manager, no one dared to object. They all watched the money verification process with smiles on their faces. They even wished that the eunuchs would weigh the copper coins a little lighter.
Seeing His Royal Highness the Prince coming, Jiang Hao hurriedly greeted him and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the amount of each auction item sold will not be small. After all transactions, we can still make a lot more money. There will never be a shortage of money." matter."
After taking a look at several packages similar to weights placed next to the large scale, Li Xian knew that this must be an exchange method that determines the weight based on the quality of the copper coins.
If all transactions were conducted in this way, it is unimaginable how much extra copper coins would be produced.
"Before putting it into storage, judge how much extra money you will get, and take half of it to be used in charity halls around Chang'an to distribute porridge and rice. The names will be given to those who participated in the auction. Since it is something that everyone is happy with, then Let them have fun again."
After saying that, Li Xian added: "I'll report this to Aye first."
Jiang Hao, who heard the implication, saw that there was no one around him, chuckled and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much. Since Your Majesty has established you as the Crown Prince and has continuously given you power, it is only for you to do things. You are so cautious." But that’s not possible.”
Glancing in the direction of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "It's enough to do your job well. It's not appropriate to do too much. Forget it, you know what you mean. Today's matter There’s no need to ask Aye for permission.”
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded.
After seeing the carriage dumping copper coins and the eunuchs carrying large packages of copper coins into the warehouse of Yeting Palace, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
The proceeds from this auction may be more than expected.
After waving to Jiang Hao, Li Xian got into the carriage in the East Palace and rushed towards the three provinces of Daming Palace.
Jiang Hao's reminder contained too much information. There are only two people around the emperor who know his temper best, one is the Queen of Heaven and the other is Jiang Hao. Now that Jiang Hao has clearly conveyed this message, it may not be what he wants to do subjectively, but there is also Li Zhi's silent signal.
From this point of view, Li Zhi really hopes to see a prince who can shoulder important responsibilities, and no longer worries about whether his position will be overtaken by someone from behind.
In this case, some things that should be done must be done spontaneously.
In the lobby of Zhongshu Province, a good place has been specially arranged as Li Xian's temporary office area. Coming to his desk, Li Xian picked up a summary from the bookshelf and began to correct it.
The profits this time are so huge, then the standards set cautiously before can be appropriately relaxed.
Some, and some of the documents that were rejected, were able to sign appropriations today.
It is precisely because the transaction volume is so large that we need to spend more money this time. In addition to leaving some fixed reserves for the national treasury, the rest must be spent by every means.
I started grading at noon. Even when I was drinking water, I didn't turn my eyes elsewhere. When I went to the latrine, I took the paperwork and poured water on it while reading. It wasn't until someone turned on the light that Li Xian realized that he had been immersed in doing work all afternoon.
He raised his head to soothe his tired body, and when he turned back, Li Xian was startled.
The true faces that could be seen in the court hall now appeared in the lobby of Zhongshu Provincial Department.
Li Zhi was drinking tea. Seeing that Li Xian had just come to his senses, he rubbed his temples and sighed: "I called you several times, but you didn't respond. I was shocked. It's just correcting documents, there's no need to be so obsessed with it, right?" .”
Li Xian chuckled, quickly sorted out the documents he had re-determined, and handed them into Li Zhi's hands.
After opening the document and looking through it, Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction. In the prince, he seemed to see his former self. At the beginning, when I first took over government affairs, I was also so sleepless and forgetful about food and sleep. I had to personally review everything, no matter how big or small. But later on, as his health became increasingly weak, he gradually became slack in government affairs.
However, judging from what is recorded in this document, the prince still has a good view of the overall situation. Both the redetermined funding and the subsequent approval of funds are of great significance.
After closing the document and handing it to Jiang Hao, asking him to hand it to Hao Chujun and others, Li Zhi said doubtfully: "Many of the items you have set are very reasonable, but I am very confused as to why you have to put something behind each payment. Adding an extra extension fee? What is this extension fee for?"
Li Xian cupped his hands and said: "When the auction was postponed, the necessary funds from various ministries had already been implemented. However, it was not a national treasury allocation. Instead, I signed a receipt with the state government and merchants first. I wanted to wait until the end of the auction. Payment. In any case, we all buy things first and then spend money. Although both parties agree, considering the majesty of the court, the party borrowing the goods may not really agree. In this case, you only need to give them a share The extension fee does not need to be too much, but it can also make them put aside their grudges. If the same thing happens next time, they will agree more happily. "
