The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 99 Nothing is more important than money

"Why did this little girl run away suddenly?" Looking at Cheng Chuhuan who fled, Li Chengqian scratched his head and said.

"I'm ashamed to say it, look at what you look like now. Can a girl with a yellow flower not run away when she sees you like this?" Su Wan poked her head out from under the quilt, and said to Li Chengqian with a teasing smile.

Only then did Li Chengqian remember that he was indeed a little unsightly now.So she hurriedly reached out to take the clothes and put them on neatly, and asked Xiao Rou Rong'er to take care of Su Wan.

……

"Why did your lord come here so early, don't you need to spend more time with the newcomer?" Cheng Chumo said to Li Chengqian with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, now that the king is married, it's time to do something serious. How are you doing with what the king told you?" Li Chengqian said to Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong.

"My lord, this is the property we have, and the money and food in the lord's private treasury." Chang Sun Chong said after handing over an account book to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian opened the account book and saw that all the numbers on it were Arabic numerals.It was recorded very clearly.

Li Chengqian nodded after reading it, and then said to Cheng Chumo: "How is the situation on your side?"

"According to your lord's instructions, the virtuous king's guards have been abolished. Now there are less than 500 people left." Cheng Chumo said.

"These 500 people have to go through screening, and finally remove the dross and keep the essence. Because only the best of the best are eligible to stay in the king's virtuous king's guard." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"My lord, you can rest assured, I have already asked Lu Yan to start building the camp for the virtuous king's guards according to the blueprint given by your lord."

"As soon as the construction of the camp is completed, I can take them to practice." Cheng Chumo said confidently.

Li Chengqian nodded, and then looked at his Cheng'en Hall.Now the Cheng'en Hall is Li Chengqian's office.

But no matter how he looked at it, Li Chengqian felt awkward.So he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that this place should also be redecorated. Otherwise, it will always look nondescript."

Then Li Chengqian told Changsun Chong: "Go and inform everyone that this king will hold a meeting in Cheng'en Hall at noon today. It is time to formulate a development direction for some things."

Chang Sun Chong nodded, then turned and left to inform everyone.But Cheng Chumo said to Li Chengqian with a smile on his face: "My lord, how are you going to arrange my sister?"

"Didn't your sister stay by my king's side as a maid? Why, don't you think that this king has treated your sister badly, just like your father?" Li Chengqian said with a playful face.

"Let her be your maidservant for the prince, I guarantee that one day the prince will cry. At that time, he will definitely return her to my father himself." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

"This king really doesn't believe it. She can go to heaven as a little girl." Li Chengqian said with a disdainful expression.

Before Cheng Chu could say anything silently, Xiaorou walked in and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, the concubine has already washed and dressed. Waiting for Your Highness to go together to greet the emperor and empress."

Li Chengqian nodded, and then said to Cheng Chumo: "Don't worry, someday my king will ask your sister to wash my feet, and I will let you come and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he laughed and left Cheng'en Hall with Xiao Rou.He left the surprised Cheng Chu silently there.

Looking at the back of Li Chengqian leaving, Cheng Chumo said to himself: "Just brag, you haven't seen how amazing that little girl is. When you know it, let's see if you dare to be so arrogant."

……

"My son (daughter-in-law) pays my respects to my father and mother." Li Chengqian brought Su Wan to the Ganlu Palace and said to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

"Get up quickly, my mother has something to ask you." Empress Changsun said as she stretched out her hand to pull Su Wan over.

But Li Shimin called Li Chengqian aside, and said to Li Chengqian: "Now that you are married, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course I'm on my honeymoon with my little Wanwan. Erchen is going to take her to travel around the world. Let her see our family's thousands of miles of country." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"Are you really planning to spend your whole life without accomplishing anything?" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian with a straight face.

"Father's words are wrong. This son is the father's son, so how can he do nothing."

"My son will definitely make the 21st century business flourish, and within ten years, my son will make the 21st century rich beyond rivals." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"You don't pay much attention to the great rivers and mountains, but you have a special liking for money. Don't you mean that you are not doing your job properly?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian with a gloomy face.

"Father, my son would like to ask Father. How can we prevent the power of the aristocratic family from being overwhelmed?" Li Chengqian asked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin frowned after hearing this, and then said to Li Chengqian: "It is not an easy task to restrict the aristocratic family. After all, the talents who govern the world are in their hands."

In fact, how could Li Shimin have no countermeasures against the aristocratic family.He said this for only one purpose, and that was to hear what Li Chengqian was going to do.

"I don't know what my father thinks. But I only know one thing, and that is that a clever woman can't cook without rice." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice? How can I explain this?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian in puzzlement.

"Father, for example, the Qinghe Cui family, the number one family in the world. What is their background?" Li Chengqian asked without answering.

"The Cui family of Qinghe has been passed down for thousands of years, and has intricate connections with other families. But the most important thing is the talents of the Cui family of Qinghe. There are countless people who have been enshrined as lords and ministers since ancient times." Li Shimin said.

"What Royal Father said is not accurate. These are all things on the surface. Even ordinary people can see it. If you want to start from this, I am afraid that Royal Father may not make a difference."

"It's like last year when my father re-edited the clan annals, although he demoted the Qinghe Cui family to the third place. But what effect did it have?" Li Chengqian said.

"Don't go around in circles with me anymore, just tell me what you think." Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Any family cannot do without the economic pillar, especially a huge family. If they don't have money, even if they have a great background, it won't help." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Li Shimin still wanted to continue asking what Li Chengqian was going to do.But Li Chengqian had already turned around and walked towards Empress Changsun, and he was not going to say anything to Li Shimin at all.

This couldn't help but make Li Shimin blow his beard and stare with anger, wishing he could drag Li Chengqian over and beat him up right now.
