Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen is enjoying leisurely at home at the moment. The weather is hot and Li Shen is too lazy to move. He is enjoying a massage from the maid under the big tree in the garden and eating shaved ice with honey.

In the past three months, some legends have appeared on the market, and Wu Meiniang is reading aloud to Li Shen.

Li Shen is very comfortable now. Life should be like this, leisurely and contented, unconcerned with worldly affairs, and unrestrained.

There was already a long queue outside the palace. Although Wu Jinzhong was the first, he was not the last. Just as Li Shen said,

When King Ji borrows money, he thinks highly of you, and he doesn't accept everyone's money.

Everyone was scrambling, fearing that they would not be able to catch up. This was an eye-opener for Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance.

It turns out that there are really people in this world who are eager to borrow money.

Aren't they afraid that Li Shen won't pay it back, or is cheating them?

Carriages came in and out of the palace's treasury, and Wei Fugui arranged for someone to count and weigh them. The palace did not have the habit of counting copper coins.

Then a written receipt will be issued and the principal will be returned with interest upon the due date.

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin finished approving the last memorial and stood up to stretch his muscles.

At this time Li An came over,

"Your Majesty, Shitou, the head of the Marriage Affairs Office of Prince Ji's Mansion, is here. He said that His Highness Prince Ji has something to report."

"Let him in."

"Your Majesty, my servant." Shitou was brought in and greeted Li Shimin.

"What does your master have to report?" Li Shimin asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty if the curfew can be postponed for two hours." Shitou replied.

"Two hours later? Why?" Li Shimin frowned, wondering what trouble this son was going to make.

"Go back to Your Majesty, because there are still many businessmen outside the palace whose money has not yet been sent to the palace. Let them pull it back. They will have to pull it back tomorrow. The prince said it is too troublesome and unsafe.

So the prince asked if he could postpone the curfew for two hours and let businessmen outside the palace send money to the palace's treasury. Shitou said truthfully.

"Businessman giving money?" Li Shimin didn't react, but he quickly remembered about borrowing money.

"You mean, if you put up a notice in the morning, a businessman would give you money in the afternoon?"

Li Shimin couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, a businessman came to give money just after noon, but there were too many, and even weighing took a while.

So there are still many businessmen waiting outside. "

After hearing Shitou's answer, Li Shimin stroked his chin, thought for a while and said;

"I have issued a decree to inform the Jinwu Guards to send two thousand troops to cooperate with Prince Ji's Mansion in transporting the money. The Jinwu Guards who have transported the money will be responsible for returning it to their residence safely."

"Yes." Li An agreed and went out to do errands. Shitou also bowed and walked out.

"Wang De, do you think there are really people who are stupid enough to give money to others? The notices issued by Lao Shi are just like those of an uncle. If it were me, with his attitude, I would definitely not lend it to him, let alone deliver it to him personally. .”

This is what Li Shimin is puzzled about.

"Everyone, King Ji often does things unexpectedly and cannot be judged according to common sense. So many old slaves have discovered that any extraordinary thing King Ji does has his own purpose."

Wang De has known Li Shen for so many years, and Wang De doesn't find it strange when strange things happen to Li Shen.

"Well, you old slave still has some insights, so let's see how long it will take our King Ji to collect the 80 yuan." Li Shimin said with a smile.

~~~

"Bang" a ceramic tea cup fell to the ground and shattered.

"Is there something wrong with these people? Lao Shi makes announcements like uncles. Why are these people so obedient? Lao Shi is shameless. Are they also shameless?"

In Prince Wei's Mansion, Li Taitie said angrily with a green face.

Someone had already reported to him that Prince Ji's Mansion had been collecting money all afternoon, and he heard that the money had not been finished even after the curfew.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be angry. This matter has nothing to do with us in the first place, and it is not necessarily a good thing. King Ji responds to everything, what will your Majesty think?"

Du Chuke, a staff member of the Wei Palace, said.

"I'm just angry with these untouchables. Why do so many people come to give money to me if I just say a word? If I say this, do you think anyone will come to give money?"

Du Chuke looked at his master. In fact, Du Chuke knew in his heart that King Wei didn't have much hope for that position now.

A few years ago, there might have been a chance, but now the prince is involved in the army. This is His Majesty paving the way for the Prince.

"Your Highness, we'd better wait for the opportunity now. I found that King Jin has great ambitions. I heard that he may take the initiative to take charge of the country's water conservancy construction recently.

If King Jin can fight with the prince to the point of losing both sides, then this is our chance. "

Li Tai glanced at Du Chuke after listening to Du Chuke's words.

"I know what you mean. Judging from the current situation, it is true that I have no chance at all, but I feel that Lao Jiu has no chance either.

Now the eldest brother is as stable as a mountain. Unless Lao Jiubing makes a dangerous move and takes that step, he will be like me and be sent back to the fiefdom by Aye in a few years. "Actually, Li Tai is not stupid, but sometimes he is impulsive.

And because Li Shimin's pampering was a bit pampering.

He also knew very well that the emperor would clear the way for the prince in the last few years. They and Lao Jiu were direct children, so they would be sent back to the fiefdom.

And he doesn't think Lao Jiu can fight against Li Chengqian, or he doesn't care about you at all.

"Your Highness, everything is possible. Let's just wait and see what happens." Du Chuke smiled. In fact, he had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't reveal it to Li Tai because he was afraid that Li Tai would alert him.

Du Chuke was from the Du family, as famous as the Wei family, and his eldest brother was the famous Du Ruhui, so he got some gossip through channels.

At night, after a busy day, Wei Fugui finally registered the last payment and issued a receipt.

Then he took the account book to Li Shen's study.

"Fugui, come and sit down. It's all over. Please tell me how much money you brought today so that I can be happy." Li Shen saw Wei Fugui coming in and said quickly.

"Back to your lord, a total of 27 guan was delivered today," Wei Fugui handed the account book to Li Shen for inspection.

Li Shen took the account book and flipped through a few pages, then handed it back. No, it made my head hurt just to look at it.

"This speed is not good. We need to speed up tomorrow. Tomorrow you go notify Wang Hongfu and ask him to issue another notice.

The palace didn't have time to collect money, so they asked them to load one hundred guan into one car. They could only pack more and not less, and then come back after loading everything at home.

Starting tomorrow, there is no need to weigh anything when entering the warehouse, only one hundred guan per car. Just choose a car and weigh it. "

Li Shen said impatiently, is it just such a small amount of money? Weighing people back and forth is a waste of time.

Wei Fugui was also shocked after hearing this. How could Prince Ji be so shameless?
