I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

the next day,

Except for Lu Dingniang, the other three girls got up early and felt refreshed. Today was Yuan Zheng's first day and they needed to do a lot of things.

Li Shen, on the other hand, has sunken eye sockets, dull eyes, sallow complexion and thin skin. He is as skinny as a stick, and he has to hold on to the wall when walking.

Yesterday when his cow was plowing the land, it almost died of exhaustion in the field because there was so much land.

He really didn't expect that the life in the fields that he had been thinking about would end up almost dying in the fields.

Li Shen swore that he would copy Buddhist scriptures several times and read carefully the truth that the four elements are empty, emptiness is color, and color is emptiness.

Today is Yuanzheng. People in the Tang Dynasty have the custom of paying New Year greetings to their elders at home.

It's just that men have to kneel down and kowtow, but women don't have to kneel down and bow with their hands bent.

Li Shen is a prince, so when he gets up in the morning, even though Li Shen is very weak, he still has to sit in the courtyard with Lu Dingniang.

Received the New Year greetings from all the servants of the palace,

"May the prince and the princess be blessed with good fortune, longevity, prosperity, peace and prosperity in the coming year."

"May Prince Ji's palace be filled with wealth, prosperity, and wealth."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay, come and watch. Everyone, get up." Li Shen laughed.

He waved his hand to the stone on the side, and someone immediately came over carrying two boys.

Wei Fugui quickly organized people to line up to receive the reward, otherwise hundreds of people would make a scene.

"Behave yourself, divide into two rows, and come to the prince and princess to receive the rewards."

Everyone knew the rules and lined up.

Li Shen and Lu Dingniang personally distributed Yuan Zheng's rewards every time. Li Shen and Lu Dingniang each had a box, which was full of gold bars.

The servants each have two gold bars worth one tael, so they can take care of more things.

Servants can take gold bars to the steward in exchange for copper coins. One gold bar costs ten guan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

After giving out the money, Li Shen still needs to go to the palace to pay New Year greetings. This is all a rule.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty and your concubine are all living in Yajing." When Li Shen led people to the palace, a eunuch reported.

When we arrived at Yajingju, there were already many people inside, including Li Tai, Li Zhi and the prince.

However, the prince pretended to be ill and could only sit in his seat.

When we came to the second floor, there were Li Shimin, the first concubine and the fourth concubine, as well as some favored talents and beauties whom Li Shen didn't recognize.

Li Shen pulled Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang to Li Shimin. Li Shen knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shimin.

"My son, I wish you a long life and good health."

Then came the queen and Concubine Wei, who basically all said auspicious words.

"You're late today." Li Tai walked over and said.

"I've seen Fourth Brother, and I don't want to do it either. It's just that there are too many people in the house, and it took half an hour just to distribute the gold bar rewards.

Alas, it seems that I will have to arrange the rewards early next year. "Li Shen shook his head apologetically.

Li Taize couldn't say a word.

"Is your house now rewarded with gold bars?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Yes, the copper coins are too heavy. A single coin weighs six kilograms, and a twenty-guan coin weighs more than a hundred kilograms. How could they take it away.

There are more people in charge, hundreds of kilograms, and they can't take them away. It's easier to give them gold bars, just two or one tael of gold bars. "

Li Shen nodded.

"Old Shi, Fourth Brother will never play with you again. I can't afford it." Li Tai shook his head and returned to his seat.

Li Shimin also came over and sat with his sons.

"Brother, how is your injury?" Li Shen asked with worry on his face as he sat next to Li Chengqian.

"It's nothing serious. It will be fine after a while." Li Chengqian also comforted in a low voice.

"Hmph, you two still have the nerve to say that. Gao Ming, you really disappoint me. You can rest peacefully and recuperate.

You don’t have to worry about the court anymore. "Li Shimin looked at the two brothers and snorted coldly.

Others also looked here, Li Tai and Li Zhi also looked here in surprise.

They did not expect that Li Shimin would have such great resentment against Li Chengqian this time.

"Aye, I know I was wrong." Li Chengqian admitted his mistake.

"What about you?" Li Shimin asked Li Shen squarely.

"That...that Aye, I'm wrong, right. That's right, too." Li Shen looked at Li Shimin's face and felt scared.

This father's drama is too real. You won't take the opportunity to beat me up later.

"Tenth brother, I heard that your palace has started to purchase raw silk. Is this relevant?" Li Tai interrupted at this time.

It seemed that he was preparing to rescue Li Shen, but as expected, Li Shimin stopped pursuing him after hearing this.

"I have this plan, but I haven't decided yet. I don't know why there are rumors that I want to acquire raw silk.

Maybe someone in the palace accidentally revealed it. "Li Shen nodded.

"Then how much do you plan to buy it for?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Hmm...it must be seventy or eighty cents anyway. It can't be too little. Our Prince Ji's Mansion has always been a generous spender.

We never negotiate the price. If we give less, it will make people think that our Prince Ji's Mansion is being stingy. "Li Shen pretended to think for a while, and then answered seriously.

"How much?" Before anyone else could speak, Li Zhi sat up straight and asked loudly.

"Seventy or eighty yuan. Why, Brother Ninth thinks the offer is too high? Brother Ninth, we are the royal family, we can't be too dark-hearted.

We cannot let outsiders say that our royal family is stingy behind our backs. This is disgraceful to our royal family. Brother Ninth, tell me if this is the truth. "

Li Shen saw Li Zhi's reaction and began to teach Li Zhi a lesson.

Li Zhi looked at Li Shen, his eyes began to become bloodshot.

Did he mean that? He wanted to give him as much as possible, but you only gave him seventy or eighty cents, and it was raw silk.

Li Zhi now has a desire to die, and before leaving, he will take away this murderer of a thousand swords.

"You are so kind and righteous!"

"Thank you Aye for the compliment. It was Aye's teachings from childhood that made me so benevolent, loyal and filial. I am a good person." Li Shen saluted Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian stood aside and wanted to laugh but couldn't. He was feeling very uncomfortable, while Li Shimin's mind was filled with dark thoughts.

This son has been raised to waste. I really don’t know if he is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Can’t you hear good and bad words?

"Old Shi, the cost of raw silk in the outside world is now more than 280 Wen, and some even reach 300 Wen.

If you actually want to buy it for eighty cents, won’t these people lose everything? "Li Zhi couldn't help but asked expressionlessly.

He has 740,000 yuan worth of goods in hand. If he sells them at Li Shen's price, he will be able to sell more than 200,000 yuan.

"Two hundred and eighty cents? Is raw silk so expensive now? Didn't it only cost more than a hundred cents?" Li Shen opened his mouth and asked in surprise.

(At the age of forty, I am not free. In the blink of an eye, my body is full of worries. The dog still cannot stand under the eaves, running around for salt and oil.)
