Man Tanghong

Chapter 771 Greed and Status Are Directly Proportional
Li Shimin finally agreed to let Changsun Wuji go to Jiaozhou because he had no choice.

Li Yuanji didn't stay in Yanxi Hall too long, even Wan Chun came up to him several times to talk to him, Li Yuanji didn't stay.

After returning to Wude Hall, Li Yuanji fulfilled his promise to Li Shimin, and asked Liu Jun to take a handwritten letter to the cell of Dali Temple, and gave Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, who had been imprisoned there for a year, to him. brought it up.

He sent the two of them back to the mansion, prepared their things, and sent them to Liangzhou and Jiaozhou to serve on the same day.

After doing all this, the deal with Li Shimin was completed.

Li Shimin is also a believer, and he is ready to resell the official rank as if he started to grind foreign labor.

Although there are still a few months before the first day, it is still difficult for Li Shimin, a person who has no status, to resell the official title, so some preparations must be made early.

When Li Shimin was busy preparing for the sale of the official title, Li Yuan was not idle.

Li Yuan personally sent someone to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Duji Province to learn about the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Martial Arts School in Duji Province, and also learned about the learning situation of Zhang Liang's son.

When he learned that Zhang Liang's son's knowledge level was still at the county school level, he secretly sent Pei Ji's youngest son to the martial arts school in Duji Province as an instructor without hesitation, and trained Zhang Liang hard. Son, the euphemistic name is to help him become a talent.

When Zhang Liang learned that Li Yuan personally sent someone to train his son in the martial arts school in Duji Province, and that his son was treated horribly, not only did he dare not fart, but he also personally prepared a generous bundle of repairs and rushed to Pei Ji's son. mansion, to reward others for helping his son grow up.

Right now, Li Yuan has let go of almost all of his authority. Apart from the eunuchs and maids in the palace, the only people who can be used in his hands are the Pei Ji lineage of the Pei family.

So everyone knows that the Pei Ji lineage of the Pei family is Li Yuan's horse boy.

Therefore, without Li Yuanji's backing, no one dared to stroke Li Yuan's beard. Not only that, but he had to respect him like a god, otherwise he would be asking for trouble.

Time flickered to Dongyue.

The climate inside and outside Chang'an City turned cold at an unbelievable speed. Many people put on yuan clothes and wrapped them in furs.

The ground fire dragon in Tai Chi Palace was also lit.

Li Yuanji was wearing unlined clothes, sitting in the depths of Wude Hall, sharing the spoils with Li Xiaogong and Su Dingfang.

Things about water transportation and sea transportation have been completely settled, and the money and food paid by each family to buy tickets have also been put into storage and storage, and everything has been settled.

It wasn't supposed to end so soon.

Because there are too many people who are thinking about the profits of water transportation and sea transportation.

Among them, there are many people who will shake their feet even if they stomp their feet up and down in the ruling and opposition parties.

While planning the tickets, these people saw that several older princesses were exhausted in the palace because of water transportation and sea transportation, so they temporarily suppressed their greed.

That's what brought the matter to a successful conclusion.

"Your Highness, Xiao's last batch of grain has arrived at the Yangzhou granary, and it is now in the warehouse. All the grain that each family promised us has been paid in full.

Some people did not have enough food, so they took money to offset their debts and received it.

Now it is on the way to Chang'an, and I believe it will be shipped to Chang'an in a short time. "

Holding a document in his hand, Su Dingfang made a final summary of the sale of tickets for water transport and sea transport.

Li Xiaogong sat on one side, while enjoying the biting coolness brought by the ice wine, he shouted happily: "We can say that we have gained a lot this time.

It earns more than we sell goods by water transport and sea transport..."

In the end, the smile on Li Xiaogong's face was even better, and there was no way to hide his pride, but he didn't say some things, but his meaning was obvious, that is, it was time to share the spoils.

Li Yuanji glanced at the jug in Li Xiaogong's hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Drinking ice wine in winter, and wine that has been chilled after being stored at low temperature for a long time, is definitely a brain problem.

But people like to find excitement, so he can't say much.

I just don't know if Lee Hyo-gong can continue to drink wine in the winter when the rheumatism on his legs is attacking.

"With so much food and so much money, these aristocratic families gathered together so quickly, it can be seen that these aristocratic families in my Tang Dynasty have a solid foundation."

Li Yuanji sighed casually, and Li Xiaogong immediately echoed, "That's right, just a little outflow from these aristocratic families is enough for us to eat for a lifetime."

Su Dingfang pursed his lips and said nothing.

Li Yuanji continued: "Since the food and money have been collected, let's talk about how to divide them."

Li Xiaogong immediately became excited.

Although Su Dingfang tried his best to restrain himself, the excitement in his eyes was still hard to hide.

"It's still the old rule, the imperial court gets [-]% and you share [-]%."

Li Yuanji spoke slowly.

Li Xiaogong's pupils shrank, and the excitement on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a kind of anger, "You are too greedy, aren't you? Eat [-]% in one go, let us share [-]%?"

Li Yuanji said calmly: "It's not that you two share [-]%, but you, Ding Fang, Shu Fang and others share [-]%."

Li Xiaogong stood up in a jerk, stared in disbelief, and shouted: "How can this be done? It was done by the two of us. Not only did they not participate, they didn't contribute, so why should they share with us? "

The excitement in Su Dingfang's eyes disappeared, but he didn't yell like Li Xiaogong, but just sat there quietly.

Li Yuanji ignored Li Xiaogong, but looked at Su Dingfang and asked, "You think so too?"

Su Dingfang hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Whatever your Highness says, I will do what I do. I believe that His Highness must have deep meaning in doing so."

"There is a deep meaning to fart!"

Li Xiaogong cursed and said contemptuously: "He just wants to eat alone!"

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong indifferently and said: "I want to eat alone, I am qualified to eat alone, but do you have it?"

Li Xiaogong shouted indignantly: "Why didn't I? You are the prince of Tang Dynasty, and I am the county king of Tang Dynasty. Although I am inferior to you, I can also eat a lot of food alone."

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "Really? You occupy a part of the border market. After all the border markets in various places are fully developed, the benefits you get from this part of the market may exceed one million.

If you are allowed to take a few more shares in water transport and sea transport, and share hundreds of millions of shi of grain, wouldn't you be rich like an enemy?
If you use this money and food to support some dead men, shouldn't my position be given to you? "

When Li Xiaogong heard this, he suddenly became sober, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

His eyes bewitched by Juli are real, but it doesn't mean that he has been bewitched by Juli to the point of death.

Although Li Yuanji had a lot to say, it can be summed up in one sentence.

You eat more and occupy more, and you have money and food, shouldn't it be time to rebel? !

The word rebellion is not something he should be contaminated with.

He also knows that in today's Tang Dynasty, if he gets infected with this word, he will die faster than anyone else.

He has the ability to occupy mountains and become king, and he also has the ability to split the soil and claim the country, but he is unable to deal with the talents of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the four fathers and sons of the direct line who are nested in the palace.

So he can't say anything about the word rebellion, and he can't take more of the border market, water transport, and sea transport.

Whether it is money or food, he likes them all, but there must be a limit to his liking, and this limit is decided by the four fathers and sons in the direct line.

And Li Yuanji is now the talker among the four fathers and sons in the direct line, and his words are his limit.

"Now you understand why I have to eat alone?"

Seeing that Li Xiaogong understood the stakes, Li Yuanji also calmed down, staring at Li Xiaogong and asking.

Li Xiaogong nodded with a stiff head.

Li Yuanji continued: "I eat alone because I can keep you in the border market, in the water transport, and in the sea transport, and I can also keep your life, and I can keep your glory and wealth.

You eat alone, what can you keep? "

Li Xiaogong pursed his lips and remained silent.

Li Yuanji went on to say: "If I hadn't supported you in the matter of selling qualifications for water transportation and sea transportation this time, and helped you block wave after wave of impeachments and calculations, you would really be able to sell water transportation. And the shipping qualifications for shipping can be sold smoothly?"

Li Xiaogong was embarrassed.

Li Yuanji snorted and said, "Just my four greedy elder sisters are enough for you to drink a pot."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji asked angrily, "Do you still think I'm eating alone?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head awkwardly.

He is the king of the county, but compared to the princesses of Changsha and Xiangyang, he is still a level behind.

So if the princesses of Changsha and Xiangyang really competed with him, he might not be able to handle it.

If the princesses of Changsha and Xiangyang invite Li Yuan to uphold justice, then he must give the princesses of Changsha and Xiangyang a share of the pie.

Although the country belongs to the Li family, as a member of the Li family, he is entitled to enjoy all the benefits of the Great Tang.

But the Li family is also in the direct line of the Li family. Even the children of the head of the direct line of the Li family can enjoy better treatment than his own, let alone the children of the head of the direct line of the Li family.

He is qualified to plunder everything from his concubine family.

So let alone Li Yuanji eating alone, even if he was not given a penny, in terms of clan rules, he couldn't complain.

"Since you don't feel that I'm eating alone, then divide it as I said. Don't even think about the food. You can exchange all the shares you get into silver and share the money directly."

Seeing that Li Xiaogong had nothing to say, Li Yuanji made a decisive decision.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

Su Dingfang immediately bowed his hands and thanked him.

Li Xiaogong hesitated for a moment before arching his hands.
