Li Chengqian's face was calm, although he was also horrified in his heart. This was 300,000 yuan.

His annual salary and salary are worth eighty or ninety thousand yuan. How could this not surprise him?

However, as a prince, he still has the skills to nourish his energy, so he said without changing his expression:

"Lao Shi sees that his eldest brother is in poverty. This three hundred thousand yuan is enough for me to spend time in the East Palace for a while.

Pass on the order, don't let this matter be spread outside, I have to go to the palace. "

He could accept the money with peace of mind, but the matter still had to be reported to Li Shimin. It would be good for both brothers to do things in a fair and above-board manner.

And even if he doesn't retaliate, his father will still know about it, and it won't be good if he has a grudge against him.

When Li Chengqian came to Li Zheng Hall, Li Shimin was having a meal.

"My son has met Aye and his mother."

"Gao Ming is here, have you eaten? If not, we can have dinner together." Empress Changsun greeted warmly.

This eldest son is what worries him the most now, and what worries him the most is the younger son who is not his own.

"Thank you, mother." Li Chengqian didn't notice anyone else and sat down directly. He took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by the maid and started eating.

He learned this from Li Shen, and he has a thick skin that dominates the world.

"You came here for the three hundred thousand yuan, right?" Li Shimin took a sip of wine and said calmly.

Li Chengqian lowered his head to eat his food, his pupils shrank, and sure enough, his father knew about it as soon as it was delivered to his East Palace.

Then he raised his head and said respectfully:

"Yes, Aye."

"Three hundred thousand yuan? What three hundred thousand yuan? Gao Ming, did you get into trouble outside?" As a mother, when she heard such a huge sum of money, her first reaction was whether her son had gotten into trouble again.

"Back to mother, I didn't get into trouble. It was my tenth brother who just gave me 300,000 yuan." Li Chengqian explained helplessly.

This is really my mother, can't I just hope that he will do well?

"Shen'er gave you 300,000 guan?" Queen Changsun was very surprised. 300,000 guan was not a small amount.

Prince Ji's Mansion has also sent money to the East Palace before, but it was always tens of thousands. This time it was actually 300,000 yuan at a time.

"Aye, I think this money is too much, so I came to ask Aye if I should send it back to my tenth brother." Li Chengqian humbly expressed his thoughts.

"Haha, there is no reason to take back what King Ji sent out. I know what you are thinking.

Don't worry, I know why, so just keep the money to do what you should do, and don't mess around. "

Li Shimin chuckled and asked Li Chengqian to keep the money.

"But Aye, why did the tenth brother give so much money? Does the tenth brother have something for me to do?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, then picked up the glass and took another sip of wine, and said calmly:

"Why else? Let's divide the spoils."

"Divide the spoils?" Queen Changsun on the side was surprised. Why did she just say that her eldest son did not get into trouble, and how could he get a share of the spoils.

"Gao Ming, tell mother, have you done anything bad with Shen'er? Otherwise, why would he give you a huge sum of 300,000 yuan." Queen Changsun asked with some worry.

His son is about to become emperor, so he can't make any mistakes at this time.

"No, mother, my son handles government affairs every day and has never left the palace to see his tenth brother." Li Chengqian said unjustly.

"Okay, Maid Guanyin, you don't have to worry. Gao Ming is indeed not involved in this matter. You should also have heard about the increase in the price of raw silk and linen some time ago."

"Yes, I did hear about it, and there is a lot of raw silk and linen in the internal funds, which are the taxes paid by the emperor.

Originally, I thought of waiting until the price was high to sell it, but I didn’t know that no one would buy it after waiting for a long time.

I heard that the prices of raw silk and linen outside have plummeted, and no one cares about them at all.

I have been regretting it for a few days, so I might as well take action earlier. "Although Queen Changsun is a queen, her royal family also has property.

The royal industry supplemented the internal funds and was used for the emperor's personal expenses, so the grain and silk paid by the prince also had to be sold.

It's a pity that the sale was not successful this time.

"Humph, this Guanyin maid, you are going to find our God of Wealth. No one cares about the silk and linen cloth, they are all made by his handiwork.

If you have anything to lose, call him to the palace and ask for it. "Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Did Shen'er do these? I heard rumors from outside, didn't it say that Shen'er also collected millions of raw silk and linen from the south, and was eventually robbed of his business by a noble family?"

Empress Changsun was a little surprised. His son could actually make the goods rise at any time, and make the goods worthless even if they were not valuable. This must be a great skill.

In fact, Li Shimin is still a little proud in his heart. Isn't your family a great one? You still don’t marry my royal family, you look down on my royal family,

How is it now? My son easily manipulated me and played with me. I lost my wife and lost my army.

However, Li Shimin said with disdain:

"You robbed his business and you can't pay back your son? If he doesn't rob others, he is already worthy of my daily teachings.

Can he let others take his things?

He initially bought all the raw silk and linen on the market at low prices, until there were no more on the market.

Deliberately raising the price and continuing the bluff purchase, he finally used a trick to sell the low-priced goods he initially purchased to the family at a high price.

In our Tang Dynasty, only King Ji would do such a thing. "

Li Shimin said very simply, and Queen Changsun understood it very well, but she was still confused and asked:

"Erlang, it's such a simple deception, but why are so many people being deceived? I heard that many princes' families also stocked a lot of raw silk and linen, and now they can't sell it."

"Why, because of greed, human nature is greedy, and these people think they are smart and arrogant, thinking they can control the world,

Their arrogance is their undoing, and Lao Shi takes advantage of this—self-righteousness.

These princes should be grateful to Lao Shi. Lao Shi's target is not them, otherwise they would never think about Yuan Zheng.

They have not learned the lesson from the Shenzhu incident a few years ago and are ignorant and fearless. "

Li Shimin was very disappointed with these princes and nobles. Losing a little money was nothing, but he couldn't remember the lesson. How could he feel confident about entrusting him with important tasks?

Queen Changsun sighed after hearing this. She was not just one of them. If she didn't covet high prices and sold them directly, she would make more money than before.

But now I can’t sell it even if I want to.

"Erlang, Shen'er is too courageous. He understands human nature so well at such a young age and dares to play tricks on so many people.

It seems that we have to find Concubine Wei to educate this child. "

"Hahahaha, Guanyin, you are right. When educating him, don't forget to make up for the loss of his internal funds.

The internal funds of raw silk and linen must be more than 100,000 guan. "Li Shimin laughed heartily.
