Li Shimin

"Gao Ming, how much has my master spent to build the other courtyard?"

After Li Shimin and others left, Li Xuan asked.

"Returning to Master, not counting today's money, it took a total of [-] guan!"

Li Chengqian said quickly.

"Where did all the money in the master's side room go?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan was stunned.

He remembered that there were [-] to [-] coins hoarded in the room on the inner side of the courtyard. Why did he only have four boxes of money left when he went to watch yesterday?

"Returning to Master, you gave a reward to Xuanzhao's servant and Hejian County King, and you spent a box of money, about four hundred guan!"

"Master, you spent more than 1000 yuan to buy the land!"

"It took you more than 100 pieces to build the hog circle!"

"Chicken rings, more than 100 pieces!"

"Duck ring, more than 100 rounds!"

"Paddy field, more than 50 sticks!"

"..."

After listening to it, Li Xuan calculated carefully and found that it was only more than 2000 guan, so he couldn't help but frowned again.

"anything else?"

Li Chengqian:  …

Cheng Chusi...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Master, you went to Dengzhou and brought more than 400 guan!" Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he continued.

"That's too bad!"

Li Xuan still frowned.

On the side, Li Baoding seemed to think of something, and glanced at Li Xuan with some hesitation.

"Speak up!"

"Master, this matter seems to be related to the housekeeper!"

Li Baoding said cautiously.

"housekeeper?"

Li Xuan asked slowly.

"Exactly!"

Li Baoding nodded hurriedly, "I remember that a few days ago, the housekeeper seemed to bring the guards in the mansion to the other courtyard to carry the box containing money!"

"Go and call the butler!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. The whole house of money was the reason why he dared to spend so much every day.

"Yes!"

Li Baoding ran out quickly.

After a while, the butler Li Chang stood in front of Li Xuan.

"I don't know why the king called the villain?"

……

Chapter 240 Old Butler, You Are Flying Away!

"The money in the king's side room, but you brought someone to carry it away?"

Li Xuan asked slowly.

"Back to the king, it is the villain!"

Li Chang quickly replied.

"Where did the money go?"

Looking at Li Chang's extremely serious face, the anger in Li Xuan's heart suddenly became lighter.

"My lord, don't you remember?"

Li Chang looked puzzled.

"This king knows?"

Li Xuan was taken aback.

"My lord, the villain told you before that the villain put all the money from the king into Lu Jiansi!"

Li Chang said seriously.

"You voted for Lu Jiansi?"

Li Xuan looked strange, "But the road from Chang'an to Qingzhou!"

"Back to the king, it is that road!"

Li Chang had a guilty expression on his face, "I'm ashamed of you, I've invested a total of [-] guan in the Prince Jin's mansion, and didn't even take half of it!"

Li Xuan: "..."

He didn't expect that his housekeeper would do such a big thing without making a sound!

"You know, even the Taiyuan Wang family only invested [-] guan!"

"Your Majesty, the Wang Family is just a noble family in a county, and they are still the people under your rule, Your Majesty. How dare he surpass Jin Wangfu!"

Li Xuan was speechless for a moment, he actually saw a hint of arrogance from Li Chang's wrinkled and aged face.

Old housekeeper, you are floating!

Then, thinking of something, he stared.

"Housekeeper, how much money is left in the Palace?"

"Back to the king, the villain still keeps [-] guan, just in case!" Li Chang replied.

"There are still [-] guan, that's good!"

After listening, Li Xuan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I can continue to wave!

"But don't worry, Your Majesty, it will be the end of the month soon. According to the past practice, the palace will probably still get [-] coins!"

Li Chang added again.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan was finally relieved now.

There is countless money in the family, so you can spend it as much as you want.

"I don't know what else the king has to do?"

Li Chang asked again.

"It's fine for now!"

Li Xuan waved his hand.

"Since the king has nothing to do, the villain will leave first. Those little brats outside will build another courtyard for the king, and the villain will have to keep an eye on it from time to time!"

Li Chang said quickly.

"what ever!"

Li Xuan nodded, "But as the steward of the palace, you can leave these matters to the servants, why bother so much!"

"Leave it to others, the villain is not at ease!"

Li Chang replied firmly.

Li Xuan waved his hands helplessly, the old man was too stubborn, and he couldn't persuade him.

……

Today, while old man Li was returning to Chang'an, Li Xuanzheng rubbed Li Xiong with a relaxed expression.

Li Chang approached Li Xuan with sweat dripping down his face.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Balang and Cui Wulang ask to see you!"

"Why did the two of them come to see this king?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Go back to the king, the villain doesn't know!"

Li Chang replied honestly.

"Forget it, let the two of them come in!" Li Xuan said helplessly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang responded respectfully, and hurried out.

A moment later, beside the two familiar faces of Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde, they appeared in front of Li Xuan.

"The villain has seen the king!" "The villain has seen the king!"

"You two don't need to be polite!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"I don't know what the two of you are looking for this king?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I'm here to report the situation of the Cotton Clothes Workshop to Your Majesty in the past few months!"

With that said, Cui Hongmo took out an account book and handed it to Li Xuan with a respectful expression.

"Cotton clothes workshop?"

Li Xuan was full of doubts, but subconsciously took the ledger in his hand.

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde felt pain in their hearts.

"Your Majesty may have forgotten that the Cotton Clothes Workshop is a small workshop co-founded by Your Majesty and I. We use white folds to sew cotton padded clothes..."

"Don't worry, both of you, this king will remember this matter!"

Li Xuan sneered, and quickly asked: "Why is this account book so thick? Besides sewing cotton clothes, what other clothes are you sewing?"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were helpless, but they still explained.

"Your Majesty, the Cotton Clothes Workshop cooperates with His Majesty to obtain wool without the smell of sheep from the Shaofu Supervisor, and then weave the wool thread with a reeling machine, and then sell the wool thread to the Shaofu Supervisor!"

"Processing woolen thread for His Majesty, this king knows!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, recalling it thoroughly.

Open the ledger in your hand and open it.

"How much money has the cotton-padded clothes workshop made in the past few months?"

Hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help but burst into tears. The king finally knew how to care about the situation of the cotton-padded clothes workshop!

"Back to Dawang, the cotton-padded clothes workshop sold cotton-padded clothes before and earned more than 200 yuan. Not long ago, during spring plowing, ten old farmers were hired to plant more than 20 acres of land because of the need to sow white dippers. Go to twenty guan.

During this period of time, I made a total of [-] pennies by spinning wool thread for Shaofu Supervisor! "

"It means that apart from the money earned from selling cotton-padded clothes, the cotton-padded clothes workshop basically hasn't made any money in the past few months?" Li Xuan was taken aback.

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde said quickly.

"You are the sons of five surnames and seven families. The two run a small workshop together, but they can't make any money?"
