Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen didn't notice Wang Xuance rolling his eyes. He was thinking how great it would be to be able to bribe someone with the status of Changsun Wuji or Fang Xuanling.

The Japanese state would easily fall apart by then.

"Your Majesty, I know who is the king of Japan now. Di Renjie sent the news. The current king calls himself Emperor Xiaotoku, and his reign is Dahua. He only ascended the throne last year." Wang Hongfu said.

"Emperor Xiaotoku? That's bullshit. How dare you claim to be emperor in a place as big as your hand? Who gives him the courage to be as bold as I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

Xuance, write a memorial to me, Aye, and issue an imperial edict first and then scold me. "

Li Shen immediately yelled angrily after hearing Wang Hongfu's words.

All the small countries around the Tang Dynasty can only be kings, not emperors, and the new king's ascension must be reported to the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor decreed the canonization, so that it seemed legitimate, such as Silla and Baekje.

This is true for some small countries on the Silk Road that relied on the Tang Dynasty. They were called kings, and the country was also a kingdom.

The Tang Dynasty is called the Emperor, and the Tang Dynasty is called the Tang Empire.

Li Shen's regular meeting ended, and everyone went to do their own things, and Li Shen also had business to do.

He took Wang Hongfu to the treasury of Prince Ji's Mansion. Now there are two treasury in Prince Ji's Mansion.

The previous one was used specifically to store working capital, which was basically filled with copper coins.

The gold, silver, and various treasures acquired by Li Shen were transferred to another newly built treasury.

The treasure house he brought Wang Hongfu to was the previous treasure house. He wanted to see how many copper coins were in it.

Soon the 100,000 laborers from Yaoyi will return to Chang'an to collect their wages. Material fees can be owed without payment.

But the laborers’ money must be settled clearly, not a penny less.

Not long after Li Shen arrived at the door, Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang arrived. Only Lu Dingniang had the key to enter the vault, and no one else had it.

"Does Mr. Lang need money?" Lu Dingniang asked,

Her husband hasn't been a prodigal for a long time, so he won't do anything wrong this time.

"Madam, let me go in and take a look. The craftsmen from Chiling will be back soon, and their wages will be collected in Chang'an by then.

I'll go in and see if there's enough for distribution. If it's not enough, I can think of a solution in advance.

They have worked hard for a year and cannot afford to not get paid in the end. "

Li Shen explained his purpose of coming.

Lu Dingniang nodded and felt relieved, as long as the husband does not ruin the family, the palace has indeed been very difficult in the past two years.

Lu Dingniang took the key and opened the small door. Li Shen walked in. The lights were bright inside.

What came into view was a mountain of copper coins. This was Li Shen's habit and he would not let them put them in boxes.

Li Shen, a nouveau riche, likes to see money everywhere in his eyes.

He walked to a pile of copper coins and circled around them, and his mood immediately improved. If he hadn't been worried that the coins would collapse and crush him to death, he would have climbed up and laughed.

"How much is this pile?" Li Shen asked, pointing to the mountain of money in front of him.

"Back to your lord, there are five hundred thousand coins in this pile." Wu Meiniang, who was behind Lu Dingniang, replied.

"Five hundred thousand guan?" Li Shen walked around. There was a pile behind him, and Li Shen began to walk in.

There are a total of six piles of money here.

"Does that mean there are three million strings here?" Li Shen asked after turning around.

"More than 2.6 million guan, I don't have a specific number, it's just the weight." Wu Meiniang replied.

This is also what Li Shen said. Counting money is a waste of manpower and material resources. Li Shen was already doing well without estimating the heap.

"More than 2.6 million yuan..." Li Shen repeated, wondering whether it would be enough.

The material cost is six to seven hundred thousand guan, maybe a little more, and the labor wages of 1.5 million guan are almost enough.

"Yes, Yuan Zhengqian was able to give away all the money.

Lao Wang, you are personally responsible for paying workers’ wages. If something goes wrong and someone does not receive their money, you should know the result.

If you want to make money, make money from rich people. If you spend money from poor people, your life will be short. "

Li Shen reminded Wang Hongfu that he did not want to obey that sentence, save the people first and save the officials first.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if the villain pays for it himself, no one will be left without wages."

Wang Hongfu immediately expressed his loyalty. He had served King Ji for so many years and he knew King Ji very well.

Prince Ji could defraud noble families and feel complacent, but he never treated ordinary people badly.

You can tell that King Ji has a good heart. He is known as the leader of the bullies in Chang'an. The dandies in Chang'an City are all afraid of Li Shen.

The most classic sentence is that I don’t even pay for meals in Chang’an City, let alone you.

But call him evil, he has never bullied ordinary people and claimed that he has no sense of accomplishment.

Li Shen led everyone out of the vault. Lu Dingniang locked the small door with her own hands. Then Li Shen suddenly asked:

"By the way, how come there is so much money in the treasury? Didn't Yuan Zheng say that he lost more than two million yuan last year?

And haven’t I spent all the one million yuan I borrowed from Aye? "

"Back to the prince, there are more than one million guan here from the rent of the industrial park. The rest is the money from the palace's industry, of which glass accounts for most of it, as well as wine, soap, tea,

Others such as silk and porcelain have smaller profits. "Wu Meiniang replied.

"It seems that after the construction of the palace is completed, money has begun to return. Lao Wang, go and do your business."

Li Shen waved to Wang Hongfu and told him to go to work, then took Wu Meiniang's hand and walked towards the inner courtyard.

"Mei Niang, I am very interested in the source of the money. Why don't you go back and explain it to me in depth."

Lu Dingniang stood there blankly and looked up at the sun. It was daytime now.

~~~~Long time no see~~~~ (Free reading of Tomato novels)

At noon the next day, Shitou hurriedly came to report that the palace manager Wang De was here and was waiting in the front hall.

Li Shen got up reluctantly. He was exhausted. The battle between three heroes and Lu Bu that was performed last night was really exciting.

After getting up, Li Shen took a shower and changed clothes and went to the front hall. He yawned over and over again and said to Wang De:

"Ha~~Oh~~~Old Wang, what's the matter with coming so early?"

Wang De couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Is this still early? It's been a long time since the court meeting was over.

"Your Majesty, it's almost noon, is it still early? Your Majesty knows that Your Majesty gets up late, so he asked me to come to the palace at this hour. I didn't expect that Your Majesty hasn't gotten up yet.

The old slave has to remind the prince that some things should be done in moderation and his health is important. "

Wang De was also someone who had served Li Shimin for so long. Looking at Li Shen's face and tired look, he knew what was going on.

"Old Wang, what do you mean by moderation? I was busy with government affairs last night. I wanted to do more for the court and the people. I stayed up all night, so I was a little tired.

You and I, please don’t talk nonsense. "Li Shen shouted as if someone had stepped on him.

However, Wang De gave Li Shen a knowing look, which made Li Shen very angry.

"Come here, bring a jar of nine-year-old wine and a set of glass cups."
