I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"Sell the property?"

Tian Ce was worried that other people would hear, so he leaned forward and whispered, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Seeing Tian Ce's seriousness, Li Chang suddenly became grinning, "Don't be angry, I don't know if Mr. Shoufu came here today to support you? Who do you tell directly, and I'll send someone to your house. "

"Stop messing around."

With a livid face, Tian Ce pushed his extended hand aside, "I'm not in the mood to fight with you."

Li Chang sighed heavily, then shook his head helplessly.

"You think I'm joking with you? You're wrong. What I'm doing now is for the sake of our court."

"What do you mean?"

Tian Ce was puzzled.

"No one has ever bought the government bonds issued by our imperial court. Didn't I want to support and surround them? Unexpectedly, the family did not have rich money, so I thought of selling some family property to save the emergency."

"You really know how to joke. Who in the whole city doesn't know who doesn't know you, His Highness King Kang? There are countless servants in the fields at home, and there are always hundreds of servants in horses and carriages when you go out. Now you tell me that you have no money at home?"

After Tian Ce finished speaking, he sneered, and continued to add: "I'm afraid you are deliberately humiliating a poor family like me?"

"Oh, look at you, you are so serious, you misunderstood me, I don't mean anything else, look at the servants I brought today, my family has long since disappeared, and all the servants have been arrested. Sent home."

Taking a look at the servants selling antiques, it is indeed different from the past.

In the past, even the servants of Li Chang's mansion were all flamboyant, and the clothes on their bodies were made of high-quality fabrics. One piece of clothing could even exchange the food of poor people for three or two months. very.

"What's going on? Your family is in a state of incomparable wealth, why did it suddenly become like this?"

Li Chang shook his head, "Hey, that's all folk rumors, we've never been very rich, it's just that sometimes people outside don't know the situation, just look at the surface and think that our monthly accounts are in fact a loss Seriously, after a long time, apart from a house and these antiques, there is nothing else."

Seeing how pitiful Li Chang said, Tian Ce was a little moved, but thinking of the purpose of his visit today, he quickly adjusted his emotions.

"No matter what, you are a relative of the emperor. It is really humiliating for the country if you sell your property in public like this. If you let someone who has the opportunity to catch you and take advantage of you, it will be hard to say."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Li Chang sat down on the ground and began to roll around.

Chapter 586

"Oh, you said that I am a burden to live, God, why do you fight against me everywhere? No one will buy it, and even the sincerity of the court will be sued. I simply died. never mind……"

At this moment, Li Chang was beating his chest and stamping his feet, while howling like ghosts and wolves, and the surrounding people watched and laughed and pointed at Tian Ce's back.

"Get up, I didn't mean that."

Tian Ce never thought that Li Chang would do this. After all, he is also a relative of the emperor. If those people with ulterior motives find out, they might say something bad about him.

"I apologize for what I just said, but I really do it for your own good, can you understand me right?"

Li Chang suddenly became quiet, still sitting on the ground and refused to get up, "Of course I know, you understand me too, it's really not easy for me, you said that I sold my property to help the court solve problems, and there are people Make irresponsible remarks."

"Do you think this matter is difficult to handle? If I don't buy the national debt, I will be guilty of not supporting the imperial court as a relative of the emperor; if I buy it, I will be guilty of humiliating the state; what will happen to me!"

"Okay, I don't want to make it difficult for you. If you want to punish me, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. It's not necessary. I can bear it."

In the end, Li Chang actually felt that these were what Tian Ce meant, Tian Ce shook his head helplessly, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, how will His Majesty face the people of the world if you do this?"

"Everyone, please judge me. Who did I provoke? It's a mistake to do anything. It's really hard to be a good person these days."

After finishing speaking, Li Chang continued to throw a tantrum. The more he made a fuss, the more the people around him made a fuss. The scene was a mess, and Tian Ce felt that he couldn't stay any longer.

"Okay, do whatever you want, when I didn't say anything, you can do it yourself."

After saying a word, Tian Ce left in a huff. Seeing Tian Ce leaving with someone, Li Chang felt very happy.

"Seeing that his face was pale just now, he must be angry with our master."

"That goes without saying, our master is really powerful, let him come here to show off his power, bah."

Several of Li Chang's servants were discussing behind him, and Li Chang felt even more elated when he heard this.

"Okay, it's time for you to continue hawking. Remember, the voice must be loud. It's best to let the neighbors in the neighborhood hear it. Whoever has a louder voice will be rewarded."

After finishing speaking, these servants rushed to sell.

Li Chang has done a lot of evil, and now he sells his property. Some people don't know the truth and lament the good cycle of heaven, and some accuse the emperor of being mean and ungrateful, but they don't really dare to buy things.

Li Wei's face in the crowd was gloomy and terrifying. Li Chang did this to slap himself in the face.

I threatened him just now, and now I jumped out, and he was indeed a guy who couldn't open his eyes even if he was shaken by money.

"Your Majesty, how can this be done?"

The sixth father-in-law asked anxiously.

As long as Li Chang sits on the street, he is slapping the emperor in the face, but the decree has been issued, and the national debt cannot be stopped. Now the emperor is really hard to get off.

"Little Six, you go to the residences of various ministers and tell them that there will be a charity auction tomorrow. Don't they have no money? Then take out the things and sell the money, and it will be donated to the court."

"Your Majesty, even if they take it, they won't take good things..."

"Just go, no matter whether something is good or bad, as long as you give it."

"Yes, the slave will do it now."

For the sake of the emperor, he could even give up his life. The sixth father-in-law naturally didn't care about this face. He took two eunuchs with him and started to visit the houses.

I was busy until midnight, and then I visited all the official residences in Chang'an City, and returned to the palace with three large carts of various items.

After presenting the statistics book, the sixth father-in-law knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the slave is incompetent, and his mouth is worn out, but those officials are so stubborn that they cry poorly with the slave, and what they take out are all worthless things."

After flipping through two pages, Li Wei was immediately laughed out of anger. All these officials were talents. The screens stained with ink, the fur coats that had lost fur, the inkstone with missing edges, and the used ink sticks were all donated.

"Notify everyone to go to the horse racing meeting tomorrow?"

"All informed, and they agreed."

"Okay, this errand is well done, tomorrow, there will be fun to watch."

The next day, at the appointed time, at the entrance of the Fuyun Restaurant, where the sixth father-in-law was taken out of the bread, there was a din of cars and horses, and people were coming and going.

Looking at the people who kept handing in invitations and walking in, Li Chang said with emotion: "Your Majesty is also in a hurry to come up with such a way, what's so good about being emperor?"

The Li family has an emperor, it's not like Li Chang never thought about sitting in the dragon chair by himself, but he finally knows how important he is. Now, looking at it now, Li Wei, the high-ranking emperor, is far less comfortable than he, an idle prince.

"If the prince wants to, it is not impossible to become the emperor."

Zhuang Yunxiao beside him took the opportunity to persuade him.

Hearing this, Li Chang was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuang Yunxiao exclaimed, "Why is he here?"

Turning his head, Li Wei walked over with Liu Gonggong and Ding Xi with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, why are you here!"

Frightened by Ding Xi's murderous eyes, Li Chang no longer dared to call Li Wei by his baby name, and learned to kowtow to the emperor.

Li Wei stretched out his hand to stop Li Chang, and said with a smile, "I'm going to pay a private visit today, so there's no need to be polite, uncle, how did you get together with Zhuang Yunxiao?"

"Uh, I happened to meet."

Li Wei didn't pursue the collusion between the two, and said with a smile: "Zhuang Yunxiao, the position of the young master has been given up?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Yunxiao's face turned cold immediately, "As soon as His Majesty opens his mouth, how can the grassroots dare to disobey? Now that Lin Qianru is the young master of Heshengchang, His Majesty came here today to attend the auction?"

"Yes, the proceeds from this auction are all considered donations, which are used to purchase the national debt for river control."

Seeing Li Wei's indifferent expression, Zhuang Yunxiao almost laughed out loud. He really thought that he was the emperor and could do whatever he wanted. I'm afraid you don't know what kind of rags are donated by the officials? "Today's auction, I'm afraid His Majesty will be disappointed, Your Majesty, please go back, lest Mai can't sell the silver and make His Majesty look bad."

Li Wei seemed to think he was offended, and said angrily, "You bastard! The donations from all the officials are naturally treasures, how can they not be sold for money?"

"Haha, don't say that what they donate is piles of junk, even if they are priceless treasures, no one will buy them, no one dares to buy them."

"Who said that?"

"I, Zhuang Yunxiao, said it."

"I will personally host it today, but I want to see if I can sell money!"

Li Wei's angry face made Zhuang Yunxiao feel better, and he laughed loudly: "It's useless, as long as I, Zhuang Yunxiao, don't say anything, no one will dare to buy it. In the palace, you are the emperor who commands the world, and no one dares to disobey you. It is the emperor who everyone kneels down and shouts long live, but apart from the palace gate, it is not certain who the officials listen to."

"Don't listen to me, do you still listen to you?"

"Don't dare, outside the palace, there are many people's words, which are more effective than imperial edicts."

Zhuang Yunxiao is the eldest son of Zhuang Zhiming, the crown prince of the Gold and Silver Empire. Although Li Wei is the emperor, Zhuang Yunxiao has seen a lot of emperors. In troubled times, the emperor is not worth much. Zhuang Yunxiao will never forget the ugliness shown by the family borrowing military expenses.

This also made him not have much respect for the imperial power. The emperor changed one by one, but he and Shengchang have always existed.

Li Wei gave him enough face and didn't make random troubles. He is willing to stay in Daqin and be a obedient citizen who pays taxes, but if Li Wei is shameless, he will go to Hanchu, or even Jin Kingdom. There is He Shengchang, the God of Wealth. Now, which country's emperor doesn't regard him as a guest of honor, so he needs to be angry in front of Li Wei with all his heart?Zhuang Yunxiao's eyes were so high that Li Wei went completely berserk, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, let's take a gamble, today's auction item will definitely sell for more than 100 million taels of silver!"

Last time, Zhuang Yunxiao suffered a big loss from betting against each other. Just as he was about to regain his position, he immediately responded: "Okay, just bet. If it exceeds 100 million taels, I will donate as much money as I have sold in total. If it doesn't reach , you will decree to abolish the reform of the currency system, and at the same time establish the ancestral system, and the future emperors will never carry out the reform of the currency system!"

"Okay, I agree, and I will write it as proof!"

"no problem!"

Zhuang Yunxiao said excitedly.

Currency system reform is a thorn in the hearts of officials all over the world. Everyone wants to pull it out, but no one can pull it out. If I can succeed, all the officials in the world owe me a favor. Being able to use the momentum of the big victory to win over more officials, the family joined He Shengchang's interest group.

As for Lin Qianru, who would dare to say that she is inferior to a woman?

After writing two written documents, both parties signed after confirming that they were correct.

"This time you will be prosperous together, and you will lose a lot of money."

Li Wei sneered.

"Your Majesty, let's ask for more blessings. As I said, no one would dare to buy your lot without my Zhuang Yunxiao nodding. Remember my words."

"Okay, I will remember what you said, and I will remember it clearly."

With a cold snort, Zhuang Yunxiao, who had prepared the documents, walked into the restaurant humming a ditty, impatient to see Li Wei's jokes.

"Your Majesty, you are too impulsive. How can you sign such a contract with him? If you lose, what will be the face of the royal family?"

"Are you worried now? Why didn't Uncle Huang say anything before I signed the contract?"

"You, you still blame me, okay, I don't care, let's see how you end up!"

Li Chang, who successfully found an excuse to escape, walked into the restaurant with his hands behind his back, and he was also a guy waiting to see the emperor make a fool of himself.

"Your Majesty, we are all waiting to see the excitement."

"Hehe, okay, then I will prepare a big show for them, let them watch it well, and watch it all at once! Let's go, let's see how I can be a good auctioneer."

Before Li Wei came out of the palace in micro-clothes, Zhuang Yunxiao and Li Chang didn't have to kneel down, but after entering the restaurant, Li Wei changed into bright yellow casual clothes. As soon as he came out, everyone saw the identity of the emperor and knelt down to worship.

Chapter 587 I'm Not Here

"Let's all live. The national debt for river governance is to control the flood. It is a good thing for the country and the people. The auction proceeds are used to buy the national debt. Those who contribute the auction are all loyal people with the world in mind. The people will not forget them. I will never forget them.

After the auction is over, I will erect a monument of meritorious deeds five feet high in the city of Chang'an to commemorate this grand event. Today, I have also sent the historian to come and record all the donors, the donated items, and the silver taels from the auction into the history book. Among them, let those who are loyal to the country and the people be able to live forever! "

As soon as the voice fell, the audience gasped.

The emperor is too hurt, this is not going to last through the ages, it is obviously to make them stigmatized for thousands of years, when the monument of merit and virtue is erected, who will not scold the street when they see it?

It must be recorded in the annals of history. Even if the Great Qin Dynasty is dead and the stele of meritorious deeds is destroyed, future generations will still know what happened back then. Recording, it is more uncomfortable than punishing their nine clans.

Li Wei ignored the discussion in the audience, and pointed directly at a hairless brush holder brought up by Xiaoliuzi, "This is donated by He Shengchang, a bald brush holder, and the starting price is one penny."

Others don't care, but Zhuang Yunxiao can't sit still. Since ancient times, wealthy merchants have been the fat sheep in the eyes of the rich and powerful. The banker is sitting on an incomparable wealth, but he can continue the family, relying on the family's good reputation.

Donating rice and porridge every year, building bridges and paving roads, the Zhuang family is a first-class kind family in the eyes of the people, and the name of goodness is also the Zhuang family's protective armor. The people's saliva can drown them if they pay the national debt for river governance that benefits the country and the people.

"Your Majesty! This is not a rag, but a writing brush used by my ancestors of the Zhuang family. This pen wrote down the store rules that I, Heshengchang, are still implementing, and also wrote my first transaction. The contract, as well as the signboard of the first Heshengchang bank, was also written with this pen. Although it is old and has long been out of use, this pen is of great significance to me, Heshengchang."

Hearing this, the audience immediately thought of a burst of applause. Zhuang Yunxiao was complacent in solving a public relations crisis for himself, when he found Li Wei looking at him with a smirk.

"It's because I'm blind. It turns out that this is an inheritance from He Shengchang, so the auction begins!"

"I'll pay 3 taels!"

Zhuang Yunxiao immediately bid.

Now no one is willing to sell Li Wei's face, let alone He Shengchang, once Zhuang Yunxiao's price is called out, no one bids at all.

Li Wei thought of this a long time ago, touched his nose, and Ding Xi immediately shouted: "5 taels!"

"8 taels!"
