The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 252
"Aren't you crazy about money, kid?" But His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor's patience is always limited. Hearing Li Muyun's chatter, Li Shimin finally patted the table.

Li Muyun shrank his neck, showing a tangled expression: "Your Majesty, then I don't want to, but I have a debt of 80 yuan. If I don't have money, what can I do to pay it back?"

80 guan?After being reminded by Li Muyun, Li Shimin also remembered that this 'fart man' in front of him still owes him 80 coins, which is not a small amount. twenty times.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin smiled slightly, also showing a troubled expression: "Oh, this matter of yours is indeed a problem. Speaking of which, when do you plan to pay back the money?"

Hearing Li Shimin turn the topic back to money, Li Muyun's face was bitter: "Your Majesty, I don't want to owe money, but I really don't have any money at hand, and money is not easy to earn now."

"Well, what you said is true, but I can give you a chance to make money."

"What chance?" Li Muyun asked.

Although he knew that Li Shimin would not be so kind, but the emperor, you have to let him say what he wants to say, Li Muyun still has this common sense.

"Reduce the price of cement by half and build a city for me. As long as you can build it within a year, I can save half of your debt. How about it?" Li Shimin smiled happily, as if he was doing it for himself. wise and proud.

To his great surprise, Li Muyun shook his head like a wave drum: "No, I don't know how to build a city. The price can be done as you said, but you have to send someone else to build the city."

"Why? What's so difficult about such a simple thing as building a city." Li Shimin said sullenly with a slightly gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty, Cangjie can create characters, but can he write poems? I am the same. Although I can produce cement and know what cement can do, I can't build cities!"

Li Muyun said it confidently, as if "no" is a very honorable thing, Li Shimin was so angry that he stared at him but there was nothing he could do.

The most important thing is that this guy hasn't finished talking yet. After a pause, he continued: "And your majesty, it's wrong for you to do this. Why do you have to pay some advance payment for the project? It's the same thing that I owe you money , but if you don’t pay in advance, I can’t produce anything, even if I don’t need money, I need money for raw materials and workers’ wages.”

"So I shouldn't ask you for money, but should give you money instead?" Li Shimin asked angrily.

His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor found that it seemed that every time he talked with this 'fart man' named Li Muyun, he would be so angry that one Buddha would ascend to heaven, and two Buddhas would be born. I don't know where this kid's ability comes from. .

"Your Majesty, I don't mean that. What I mean is that I will definitely pay back the money, but you have to give me some money to make it back, right? I have nothing now. If this continues, let alone paying you 80 yuan in five years, it is I don't even have [-] Guan." Li Muyun spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face, as if he was so innocent.

Li Shimin was almost amused by Li Muyun's appearance, he smacked his lips and said, "Why do I feel that it's not you who owe me money now, but it's like I owe you money!"

"No, I do owe the money, but I don't have the ability to pay it back now."

"Then what on earth do you mean, and what exactly are you looking for today?" Li Shimin seemed to have just remembered that Li Muyun came to look for him, and asked in a deep voice while looking at him.

"Uh... well, Your Majesty, I'm actually planning to borrow some soldiers from you. It doesn't take much, just three thousand cavalry."

"What? Borrowing soldiers?" Li Shimin looked at Li Muyun with unbelievable eyes, as if looking at a lunatic.

This guy obviously still owes him 80 guan and hasn't paid it back. Oh, by the way, he also killed the Minister of the Ministry of Justice a few days ago. For this reason, he even lost his position as the founder of the country, and he was charged with being sent to the frontier.

In the end, this guy ran back to find trouble again, and even borrowed soldiers, not three thousand cavalry, is this a joke?Who gave him the courage? Is this kid really stupid or fake?
"That's right, didn't I discuss it with Xue Yantuo's Ba Bo? He exchanged his brother for [-] war horses, but what if those Xue Yantuo didn't keep their promises? So I thought about asking you to borrow some soldiers." Be bold, and also scare those Xue Yantuo people by the way. And your majesty, when these horses are exchanged, I can have some money in my hand, which can also be used to pay off the debt."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, somehow he had the urge to scold his mother.

Is it the uncle who dares to owe money?It was obvious that Li Muyun owed him the money, but in the end it was as if he owed him the money. He not only wanted to buy his things, but also borrowed soldiers to give him courage. What happened to this world?
But having said that, just now this kid seemed to say that the money he made was just used to pay off the debt. If so, it seems that this is also a good idea, as long as it is done properly...

Thinking of this, Li Shimin smiled slightly, looked at Li Muyun and said, "I can lend you soldiers, but how much do you plan to pay back?"

"How about [-] Guan?" Li Muyun stretched out a finger.

"Ten thousand guan? Li Muyun, where are you sending the beggar?" Li Shimin's face darkened slightly.

"Then, fifteen thousand?"

"One-buy price, [-], less than this figure, don't even think about it."

"Your Majesty, [-] is not enough. I can't sell these horses for [-]. Even if you kill me, I can't get that much money." Li Muyun looked at Li Shimin's five fingers and shook his head.

"Li Muyun, you think I can't be bullied, but I bought those horses for a hundred thousand coins."

"Your Majesty, although you spent a hundred thousand guan, you don't think I can handle such a big deal alone, do you? Do you think I can handle a business as big as ten thousand horses?"

Li Shimin sighed helplessly, of course he knew that it was impossible for Li Muyun to swallow the money alone, and someone from the court must have been involved in this matter.

But having said that, Li Shimin has already paid a price of [-] guan for these horses. If he cares about whose hands the money has gone to, it will appear a bit petty.

And more importantly, that kid Li Muyun was obviously full of bad things. Looking at his thief eyes, Li Shimin knew that this kid must have something to say.

All the previous incidents all showed that Li Muyun was different from those ministers in the court. This guy would often take a slanted sword and use some incomprehensible means to achieve certain goals.

But this time it was obvious that he still had something to say, which made Li Shimin very curious and wanted to know.

So His Majesty the Great Emperor graciously agreed to Li Muyun's proposal and agreed to lend him [-] cavalry, but some people had to pay [-] for this.

……

The wine is 'suffering donkey', the dishes are steamed bear paws, roasted deer preserved...

Li Muyun was sitting opposite Li Shimin, handling chopsticks like flying, these things are not something that a little killer like him can eat in future generations, it is a blessing to be able to eat one more bite.

Li Shimin couldn't imagine how Li Muyun, who was as thin as a monkey, could eat so much food, and seeing that his eating speed didn't slow down at all, it was obvious that this guy could continue to eat.

Finally, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't stand it anymore, knocked on the table and said, "Li Muyun, don't you have something to say, can you say it now?"

"Hmm..." Li Muyun, with a large piece of bear's paw stuffed in his mouth, swallowed it with difficulty, then lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, I heard that besides the treasury, there is another Neku, is this the case?"

"What? Are you still thinking about my idea?" Li Shimin neither admitted nor denied, but just stared at Li Muyun, as if waiting for him to continue talking.

"Your Majesty, from what you said, I'm just a 'fartman' now, how dare I get your ideas." Li Muyun smiled coyly, and quickly changed his face and said: "It's just that I have some ways to get rich. I wanted to find someone to work with, but I couldn’t find the right one.”

"So you took my idea?"

"How can it be? Isn't this money earned by everyone?" Li Muyun chuckled, and without waiting for Li Shimin to continue asking, he continued: "See if you can invest a little more money, not too much, 80 yuan, five years After that, I will pay you a total of 100 million yuan including the [-] yuan with interest, how about it?"

"One million guan?" Li Shimin blinked his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Your boy owes me 100 guan, don't you just say it, and I will give you another 80 guan?"

"Battle big with small things, I believe you are not very rich now, right? I looked at it when I came in, and it seems that this Tai Chi Palace has not been repaired for many years, and the floor tiles in many places are cracked. As long as you believe me, Within five years, I can renovate the entire Taiji Palace, and the one million guan is still yours."

Li Shimin took a sip of the wine in his glass, and said lightly: "Hehe, you are not big, and your tone is not small, and you are not afraid of the tongue flashing in the wind."

But Li Muyun didn't speak this time, just sat so quietly, as if waiting for Li Shimin's reply.

After a long time, Li Shimin seemed to have figured it out, put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Forget it, I will trust you once, but if I don't see the 100 million guan in five years, you can watch your head."

But Li Muyun didn't seem to be worried about his head, drained the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then put the glass on the table: "It's a deal!"

Li Shimin also drained the wine in one gulp, and said loudly, "Okay! Then I'll be waiting for your 100 million guan."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Li will do what he says." Seeing that the matter has been negotiated, Li Muyun said excitedly, and finally added a sentence that made Li Shimin dumbfounded: "However, can I pack these things and take them away?"
