Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Lu Chengqing raised his head, and said with a surprised face: "Take it, this Datang coin is also issued by the Ministry of Households, and its value is equivalent to copper coins. Why don't we accept it!"

"We not only want to collect, but also take the lead in collecting."

"Not only must take the lead in collecting, but also take the lead in using it!"

Hearing this, some members of the Lu family immediately reacted.

"The Patriarch means that the monthly payment for this season in Youzhou will be paid in Datang coins?"

"Patriarch's move is wonderful, even if the little prince has any complaints, he can only blame his father!"

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Immediately, everyone in the Lu family laughed together.

After Li You took command of Youzhou, the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce headed by Fan Yang Lu's Chamber of Commerce has already approached Li You, and promised that as long as Li You can maintain the stability of the current Youzhou market, he will pay [-] yuan a month as a management fee.

The management fee is paid quarterly, and after the beginning of each quarter, someone will be sent to send the past of the previous quarter.

You must know that in the year before Li You became the Minister of the Household Department, Datang's annual tax revenue was only 200 million guan.

Last year, after the trade with Turks and the promotion of new food crops, the tax revenue increased significantly to only 300 million guan.

Now the management fee of only Youzhou is 120 million yuan a year. From this, it seems that Fan Yang and Lu's family also spent a lot of money in order to win over Li You.

Originally, Lu Chengqing thought that after seeing this generous gift, Li You would definitely accept it, and then summoned the leader of the chamber of commerce for a secret meeting.

However, after Li You saw the letter, he just nodded slightly and said "I see" before letting the sender leave.

Li You's attitude made Lu Chengqing completely confused, not knowing what the effect would be if he paid a lot of money to attack.

Compared to Lu Chengqing's doubts, the rest of the Lu family were even less calm.

Originally, they had complained about taking out such a large profit, but Li You's indifferent attitude made them extremely unhappy.

Fortunately, just when they were about to do something, an order from the governor of Prince Yan's mansion came to the governor's mansion in Youzhou, asking the former deputy to continue to maintain the order in Youzhou, and everything remained unchanged.

In this way, these people from the Lu family laughed out loud.

They started to laugh at Li You, they felt that the little prince didn't make appointments with relevant people just because he had received money for fear of being played by Yushitai.

This time, Lu Chengqing's proposal made the members of the Lu family, who were still flustered just now, burst into smiles.

Looking at the clansmen who were laughing, Lu Chengqing frowned slightly.

After earnestly studying the events over the past year, Lu Chengqing keenly discovered that Li You was not as simple as Li Shimin's spokesperson.

Many times, many things actually started from Li You, but Li Shimin just chose to accept passively or actively cooperate.

And every time the aristocratic family wanted to deal with Li You, they would always receive a severe counterattack.

Sometimes it seems that the Shence Mansion is restricted, but in fact the aristocratic family has paid more.

This time, Lu Chengqing's original intention was to cooperate with Li You.

The Datang coins that were basically circulated on the grasslands were also circulated first in Youzhou.

This is Li You's own territory. If Datang coins are to be used in the Central Plains in the future, this must be the initial state capital.

So instead of passively accepting it when the time comes, it's better to act now and gain a good impression from Li You.

But facing the reaction of these people in the family, Lu Chengqing could only accept all this silently.

Since he took office, although he has tried to change, it will not happen overnight if the huge family wants to change completely.

"Perhaps let them really suffer a little bit before they can change."

"I just hope that such a loss won't make the family too heavy."

Lu Chengqing sighed, and then said: "This matter must be done as soon as possible."

"Recently, all the major families in Chang'an City have visited the Yan Palace one after another. Our Fanyang Lu family must not be left behind."

However, after listening to Lu Chengqing's words, the third uncle of the Lu family had a different opinion.

"Patriarch's words are wrong. According to my idea, we should let people keep a close eye on Prince Yan's mansion."

"If he really takes advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the behavior, let the censor take a hard look at him."

"Or after we get the handle, we keep it secret and threaten him!"

"Aren't the Tang coins printed in the Shence Mansion now..."

Although the third uncle of the Lu family didn't finish his sentence, there was an expression of understanding on the faces of everyone present.

However, when these expressions reached Lu Chengqing's eyes, they revealed a trace of determination.

"You can think of such a simple question, but His Majesty and King Yan will never think of it."

"Didn't you see that Li You is bound to Yushitai every step of the war?"

"You still want to overthrow him in this matter, isn't that the same as overthrowing Yushitai?"

"Hey, these uncles are hopeless."

Faced with the discussions of the Lu family, Lu Chengqing didn't say anything, but the immature thought in his heart became more and more firm.

Family meetings similar to those of Fan Yang and Lu's were going on in all major families. Although their conclusions were different, everyone's eyes were undoubtedly fixed on Yan Wang's Mansion.

But at this time, in Yan Wang's mansion, Li You was busy directing Xiaoying to pack up the big and small burdens.

"Miss Sakura, this time we are going to go at least the first half of the year, so we need to prepare a little more."

"Yes, I have to take that one, and I have to take that one too!"

Seeing Li You's non-stop commanding, the mood of the person opposite him was somewhat complicated.

"King Yan, I advise you not to prepare so much, even if you hide in Luoyang, how can you get close."

"It's better to just stay in Chang'an. If you really feel bored, you can still live in my house."

"I see who dares to come to the door!"

The person standing in front of Li You and speaking is Wei Zheng, the official censor of Yushitai.

Hearing Wei Zheng's advice, Li You smiled wryly and said, "I appreciate Doctor Wei's kindness."

"But this time, I have to go no matter what."

"Even if this king moves in regardless of your reputation, you can hide from the general family ministers, but you can't hide from your father."

"It will take at least half a year to settle the national debt of the war, but the entrance exam for new students is just now, and this matter is also troublesome!"

Speaking of the recent period, the threshold of King Yan's Mansion was almost broken by various aristocratic families.

Every day at dawn, people from all walks of life come to hand over name cards.

Li You could still push some people away due to his busy schedule, but he had to meet more people.

Apart from the unreasonable ones, there are also unreasonable ones, who will break in as soon as the gate of King Yan's Mansion is opened.

As a result, Li You had to travel secretly from Yanwang Mansion to Shence Mansion.

So after learning that Qu Tutong, who was stationed in Luoyang, was seriously ill, Li You went to court for the first time.
