Chapter 45 One Hundred Thousand Copper Coins, One Kang

All the ministers couldn't put it down and passed on looking at these two kang models.

Li Chengqian snorted softly, and then said without changing his expression: "Since your lords want to build a kang in your house, let me tell you the price!"

"The cost price of this right-angled kang is [-] guan copper coins, and this round table-shaped kang is [-] guan copper coins!"

"Hiss~".
"I didn't. Did you hear me wrong? It's so expensive?"

"It's better to buy two more animal skins!"

All of a sudden, the ministers hesitated, weighing the price difference.

If it is winter, if you wear more clothes and add two more charcoal braziers, it seems that you can survive this winter......

However, this heated kang is really too warm...Moreover, it is said that this heated kang uses very little coal......

If you use a charcoal brazier, you need someone to watch it, and you need to open the window to ventilate, otherwise it is easy to be poisoned...

Li Chengqian looked at the hesitant expressions of these people, and said lightly: "This heated kang can be used by up to ten people! That is to say, each person is only [-] kang on average!"

"" As far as I know, the fur coats you bought, even the most common fur coats, were sold for [-] copper coins! ~""

The ministers immediately fell into deep thought, and even secretly retracted their hands into their sleeves, and began to calculate how many fur coats a family should need... After careful calculation, this kang seems not expensive...

Li Chengqian continued: "This heated kang is warm in winter and cool in summer. There will never be any problems within five years! That's all for now, please think about it slowly!"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian turned to Li Er and said, "Report to Father, it is already noon!"

Li Er snorted lightly and said, "Huh! I'm not blind, so I know it's already noon!"

After finishing speaking, Li Er turned to the ministers and said, "Do you have anything else to play, my loves?"

All the civil and military officials shook their heads, because they knew that His Majesty was about to retreat... Just in time, after Li Er left, they were generous enough to ask some questions...

"Get up and go back to the palace!" With that said, Li Er sat on Long Tuo.

The civil and military officials hurriedly bowed and cupped their hands, and said in unison: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty!"_
They didn't stand up until Li Er's back completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

As for the officials below the sixth rank, they glanced at the heated kang model with a look of reluctance, then bowed to His Highness the Crown Prince, and then hurriedly left...

No way, who made them have low official positions, no background, and poor families!
The rest are all powerful ministers with backgrounds in their families, at least forty or fifty!
Li Chengqian shouted loudly: "My lords, if you can send the money to the Prince's Bieyuan in my palace, then I guarantee that you will be able to sleep on a warm kang tonight!"

After all, Li Chengqian turned around and returned to the house.

In fact, it is impossible to sleep on the heated kang just after it is built, because the mud inside is not dry yet, so it is okay to lie on it, and there will be no problems... If you stand in one position all the time, it is easy to fall off...

Four or five thousand craftsmen were waiting outside the gate of the Prince's Bieyuan, waiting for His Royal Highness' orders at any time.

Li Chengqian was silently counting the numbers in his heart through the window, and when he counted to five, some ministers walked in in twos and threes, bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness, the old minister will go back and get it." Money! Please, His Royal Highness, let the old minister sleep on the kang today!"

"En!" Li Chengqian hummed lightly, and the ministers hurried home.

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong walked in together, laughed loudly and said: "His Royal Highness, we both come to ask, can this kang be cheaper!"

When Li Chengqian saw these two people, he smiled lightly and said, "Two generals, please sit down!"

Naturally, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong didn't see each other, they sat directly on the kang, and they liked to move inside while sitting.

Ministers one after another came to explain the situation to the prince, or the family did not have enough money, or they said, go back to get the money now...

Most of the ministers who said they would go back to withdraw the money were from aristocratic families, and a small number of ministers who could withdraw the cash were from the former court... It seems that they must have made a lot of small tricks when they were in the previous court...

The last person to come in was Lu Junyi, Minister of the Household Department.

Li Chengqian was a little surprised, how could this Lu Junyi, as the Minister of the Household Department, the head of the Lu family, and the person in charge of money in the Tang Dynasty, be the last to come here...

Lu Junyi smiled and cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness! Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, the family background is weak! See if you can make it a little cheaper!"

Li Chengqian smiled faintly. If someone else said that, he would definitely believe it, but the head of the Lu family, one of the five surnames and seven Wangs, actually told me that the family background is weak?

I am afraid that if you sell you 20 guan, you will be able to come up with cash...

"I also ask Mr. Lu to give me a reason!" Li Chengqian said nonchalantly.

Lu Junyi was a little embarrassed and asked, "What reason does His Highness want?"

Li Chengqian glanced at him and said: "=Give me a reason to reduce or exempt copper coins!"

When Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong heard the prince's words, their hearts skipped a beat, they looked at each other, and then began to think about what reason to say.

Lu Junyi was a little embarrassed, obviously the prince didn't believe his family background was weak...

Immediately, he glanced at the two veterans sitting on the kang, walked a little closer and said indifferently: "If His Royal Highness can reduce the price a little, maybe you can get a chance to make friends with the family!"

"How does His Highness feel?"

Li Chengqian didn't speak, but just looked at him coldly.

Lu Junyi was very proud, and continued to speak: "If His Highness the Crown Prince can get the support of my family, wouldn't this kang be able to earn more copper coins by then! What do you think, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Chengqian said lukewarmly: "Master Lu, if you want my craftsmen to build a kang for your house, go back and get the copper coins! Otherwise, I can't guarantee that there are enough craftsmen!"

Lu Junyi said angrily: "Don't His Royal Highness understand the background of the family?"

"Oh! I don't have time to learn about the background of the aristocratic family!" After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian turned and walked towards Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

"Huh! Your Highness, don't regret it!" After finishing speaking, Lu Jun left the Prince's Garden with a sense of righteousness.

As for whether these ministers will personally send the copper coins, Li Chengqian is not worried at all, because these ministers will have a special place to save money in their homes...
