Datang first village

The New Year's celebration belongs to the common people, and the happiest children are naturally the children, and of course the adults who are common people are equally happy.Who is the happiest person in the New Year?

I'm afraid no one will ever know, but in fact it is Li Yuanxing, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

The New Year's Eve palace banquet was at the third watch, that is, before twelve o'clock in the morning, and until about 11:30, Li Yuanxing was still studying the map in Li Er's study.

At twelve o'clock, the New Year's bell rang, and the sound of firecrackers in Chang'an City shook the sky.

Li Er wants to kowtow to the Supreme Emperor to pay New Year's greetings. This is a great etiquette, and this is probably the only time Li Er kowtows to a living person in a year.

After Li Er finished, it was Li Yuanxing's turn.Because of their special status, it is impossible to kowtow together with other people.So come alone.

After kowtowing, Li Yuanxing, the seven princesses and Wu Zhao all received red envelopes from Li Yuan.

Each person has ten Li Yuan's head portraits and one or two gold coins.

But in Li Yuanxing's hand, it was light and light.It was obviously not gold coins. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Li Yuanxing opened the red envelope. Inside was a piece of paper with the words: IOUs, one hundred pennies!Then there is Li Yuanxing's signature, and the date.

Well, it's like paying off the debt.

Li Yuanxing completely ignored the laughing royal family and Guowei, and sat back to his seat on his own.

Li Yuan was still distributing his Supreme Emperor's gold coins, it seemed that the eunuchs around him had already arranged it, and whoever had the coins had already made detailed calculations.For this one night alone, Li Yuan's actual expenditure was close to [-] guan. There is no way, he has many children, and the wives of his sons and grandsons also need gifts.

Li Yuanxing's rank is considered high. Li Yuanxing's family alone, Li Yuan gave [-] gold coins, but Wu Zhao was given a separate reward, the largest amount of all, a full [-] gold coins.

According to the current gold price in Chang'an, one Supreme Emperor gold coin is worth fifteen guan.

Li Yuan sent out more than 900 pieces, close to a thousand pieces.

"Uncle Wuhuang Happy New Year, I wish Uncle Wuhuang..." Li Chengqian led a large group of half-sized men, densely packed with hundreds of people, and rushed to Li Yuanxing, knelt down and kowtowed, as if he had been trained by the police, his voice It was very neat, and he said a new congratulatory message with [-] words.

trap!This is a trap!

Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Wulang, you didn't prepare any red envelopes."

Red envelopes, there are red envelopes there.Li Yuanxing has been busy fighting, occupying territory, robbing people, and robbing mountains.Then there is time to prepare red envelopes, not to mention that there seemed to be no such link last year.

Li Yuanxing stood up: "Nonsense, if you don't give New Year greetings to the Holy One first, how can you give me New Year's greetings first?"

"Goro, you weren't there at dinner, they have already paid their respects. I also gave out red envelopes to my brother, and my father delayed going to the arena because he was anxious to go to the arena, so they delayed the dinner. They were not rude. Goro, don't worry!"

Don't worry about it.

Obviously just to see myself make a fool of myself...

But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem right. During the Chinese New Year, we are all a family, so naturally we have to reward and give out red envelopes.This has become a custom in later generations. Even when the people in Chang'an were poor, they would give their children a copper coin. This is lucky money, which is very auspicious.

I didn't prepare in advance, but I forgot about it.

And the seven princesses of Qin are all children, the oldest is only 16 years old, they know what a fart.

Li Yuanxing silently took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, squinting his eyes and thinking, this is family affection, a very rare family affection.The children in the royal family dared to laugh loudly, and it was still in front of Li Er. Li Tang's royal family was no longer as cold-blooded as the royal family of later generations.

But I really didn't prepare for the New Year's money. No one in the world owed the New Year's money.

Even if there is no lucky money, you still have to give your child something to bring with you.

Right now, there are too many children kneeling in front of Li Yuanxing, so many that it is not enough to dismantle all the things in Li Yuanxing's body into parts.Li Yuanxing remembered that one of Li Yuan's children gave a gold coin, about two or three hundred, and the two little eunuchs were carrying a basket of red envelopes.

Li Yuanxing thought: "Come here, go to the Imperial Army's arsenal to get five hundred high-quality feathered arrows, and recruit two servants who know woodcarving."

The people who listened to the order didn't understand what it meant, but His Royal Highness Qin Wang gave the order, so naturally he had to prepare.

Only then did Li Yuanxing say to the children kneeling in front of him: "Continue to pay New Year's greetings, and come to Uncle Wuhuang to receive the New Year's money later, I promise to make you very happy New Year's money!"

His Royal Highness King Qin's reputation is still very good.

I just heard Li Yuanxing say that the lucky money he distributed was very special. The two little girls walked up to Li Yuanxing and followed: "Brother Wuhuang, will you give An Ding a share of the lucky money?" Princess Anding, who was about the same age as Ming Yue, stood timidly. Li Yuanxing asked in front of him.Li Yuanxing laughed: "Yes, only those who are not over 12 years old, as long as they belong to my royal family, they have them!"

Many children cheered.

Li Yuanxing looked around and said loudly: "Continue to be generous, and be generous to the end. I just want to be surnamed Li. Those who are here tonight are younger than this king. Everyone has a share, whether you are married or not. Those who are waiting to be married. There are all of them, and everyone has a share."

Li Yuan looked at Wu Zhao, he was a little confused.

Wu Zhao made a gesture of despising Li Yuanxing. Li Yuan understood that Princess Mingyue was despising Li Yuanxing, which proved that Li Yuanxing was a pit. The debt of three thousand strings is so small.

How big a trap it is to trap so many people at once.

Li Yuan looked at Li Er, and Li Er told Li Yuan with his eyes, trust Goro, Goro has a sense of propriety.

This time, it was Qilang Li Yuanchang's turn, and this guy picked up the basket and scattered a basket of silver coins, and then shouted: "There is fifth brother's lucky money, you little guys still miss me, you are too greedy gone."

Qilang, Balang, and Jiulang have all been appointed kings and established mansions. They have income, so they have to send money.Those who are younger than Li Chengqian are not needed.

Balang and Jiulang also followed Li Yuanchang's example and threw the silver coins directly.Next, although Li Xiaogong and others are older and belong to the royal family, their status is naturally inferior to that of Li Yuan's sons. When it was their turn, Li Xiaogong signaled his subordinates to also throw silver coins.

After a while, the silver coins piled up on the grass in the back garden into a hill. Hundreds of children didn't even put the silver coins in their pockets, and they all piled up in the garden.As for who to identify, they are not ordinary people after all, they are arranged by others for their basic necessities of life, and they still don't realize the importance of coins.

A few older ones, such as Li Chengqian, saw that their younger brothers and sisters were happy, and they also messed around with them.

The arrow was brought, and the little guys rushed to Li Yuanxing again excitedly.

The little ones are excited because they are looking forward to a very novel lucky money.The parents behind them don't think so, what does Li Yuanxing's arrow represent.

"One arrow, within [-] steps of where it falls, no matter what is dug up. Thirty percent will be handed over to the treasury, thirty percent will be handed over to the king, one percent will be given to the local garrison, and the last thirty percent will belong to you. Of course, if the arrows from several companies The place where it fell is very close, so it counts as two arrows, and we can cooperate to dig!"

"Brother Wuhuang, what can we dig there?" Princess Anding asked again.

Li Yuanxing hugged Princess Anding on his lap, motioned the eunuch to carve Anding's name on an arrow, and then said: "You can dig out many things, such as lead, tin, and zinc." Li Yuanxing said with a smile, Princess Anding pouted With a small mouth: "An Ding doesn't know what this is? Can I change it to a snack?"

Just because kids don't understand doesn't mean adults don't understand.

Some knowledgeable ones even know.

Generally speaking, the common mines of these three metals seem to be unheard of, but these three metals generally appear as associated mines in another metal mine area.

"Of course, you can also dig up silver and gold!" Li Yuanxing's tone was full of mischief.

"Then how much silver is there?" Princess Anding asked again.

"En!" Li Yuanxing pretended to be thinking, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "We can build a palace with silver for An Ding, and use gold as a bed for An Ding. Then we don't even need stones for the rockery in the garden." , all piled up with silver, so shiny and beautiful!"

Li Er understood.

Li Yuanxing was looking for free labor. Even if Li Yuanxing was exhausted, he would not be able to dig out the huge silver building with all the power of the Qin Palace, nor would he be able to dig out much silver.The reason is too simple, because there are too many.

Li Yuan didn't know this, so he asked Li Er sideways: "Is there such a place? Throw an arrow at random, and then dig out tens of thousands of taels of silver. Wu Lang is trying to make the kids happy!"

Hearing Li Yuan speak, Li Yuanxing didn't say any more.

Li Er said with a smile: "I don't know how many, Wulang only said a number. The walls of the new Chang'an City are made of silver for bricks, and the silver mountain can't be dug empty. Father, you really think Wulang is poor, Wulang has two hundred for a piece The fast boat loaded with gold came back. The boat was almost sunk by the gold, and finally threw away a lot of coal before barely entering the Grand Canal. Calculate the time, and you can reach the Jinghe Wharf on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.”

"Actually, I'm very poor!" As soon as Li Yuanxing opened his mouth, Li Yuan picked up his teacup and was about to hit him.

You, Li Yuanxing, are so shameless. Two hundred pieces of gold that the Clippers can't finish transporting, you think I'm stable and don't know how to count.

Li Yuanxing chuckled: "I'm going to order the construction of the double-gauge railway from Chang'an to Luoyang. This ship of gold is barely enough for [-]%, so I have to come again. But the silver mountain, I really don't like it. Wait a minute After the completion of Zhengzhou’s large industry, it’s nothing more than a mountain of silver! Let’s think of it as a gift for the royal children, whether it’s a wife or a marriage!”

Wu Zhao secretly gave Li Yuanxing a clever gesture.

Li Er also gave a thumbs up quietly.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty sang a double reed, and the result was unbelievable. However, if the two brothers talked about it, [-]% of the money would go to them, and it was pure profit. (To be continued.)
