Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 165 Japanese Monk
At the Yue Prince's Mansion in Yankangfang, Li Chengqian was sitting in his study in a daze, his face pale, and he could not regain his consciousness for a long time.

Because of him, the few remaining [-] yuan in the prince's house disappeared. This was the money that the prince's house needed for more than three months!

This meant that the Prince's Mansion did not have any financial support for three months. Li Chengqian thought hard for a long time, but still could not find a clue that could bring in money.

On the father's side, once he asks for money, his father will definitely know that he is also involved in gambling. If a majestic prince of a country participates in such things, he will definitely be severely punished by his father.

Moreover, in the past few years, Li Chengqian has clearly felt his father's dissatisfaction with him and his love for the prince Li Tai.

There are rumors outside that the prince is immoral and will definitely need to be replaced in the future.

This is what Li Chengqian is most worried about. Once his father knows about losing money in gambling, he will definitely have a worse impression of him. He is very worried...

At this time, the guards of the mansion came to report that someone from the noble family was waiting outside the mansion.

Li Chengqian's eyelids twitched immediately, and he could probably guess what the people from the aristocratic family were here to do.

He must be selling his favor...

After hesitating for a moment, Li Chengqian sent someone to inform the people sent by the family.

The visitor was about the same age as Li Chengqian, and it was Lu Siqi, the representative of the Lu family.

Seeing Li Chengqian, Lu Siqi bowed his hands in greeting: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

There was no unnecessary expression on Li Chengqian's face, and he motioned for Lu Siqi to sit down and talk.

"I passed the house at night, what were you doing?"

Lu Siqi smiled and said: "During this period, we obtained the distribution rights of the Liuli business from Prince Consort Lin. The Lu family is now responsible for the Henan area."

Glass business?Is it Lin Heng’s extremely profitable colored glaze?

In the past, Li Chengqian might not have had any feelings, and would even sneer at such business affairs, but now that he has no money, he is inevitably in a dilemma.

If I had done a business with Lin Heng early and just received some dividends, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this.

Li Chengqian slowly said: "I have heard about this."

Lu Siqi immediately looked troubled and explained: "His Royal Highness does not know that the glass was transported from Chang'an to Henan for thousands of miles. Every time a card was passed through a city, some benefits would be withheld by local officials. I can't bear to wait."

"So we were thinking that if our Liuli business could have a big shot as a shareholder, those people would not dare to be arrogant, so we thought of you, the Crown Prince."

"So I came here today to request His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing, the family is willing to provide [-]% of the dividends from the glass business for free. This does not require His Highness the Crown Prince to pay anything. We only need to borrow a name..."

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How much revenue can your glass business make in a month?"

Lu Siqi chuckled and said: "Based on last month's figures, the total turnover in the north is more than [-] yuan. When the famine there recovers, this amount will double."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but breathe quickly. Even if it was 90% of [-] yuan, it would be [-] yuan, and it was divided according to the month. Wouldn't the Prince's Mansion no longer be short of money?
Moreover, the reason given by Lu Siqi was very clever. He was worried that someone would bully others and wanted to join in as Li Chengqian. I am afraid that there would be much less trouble like this.

But as the top strength of the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic family could challenge the royal family. The officials of the aristocratic family also held an important position in the court, not to mention the officials from various places.

Would such a force worry that someone would deprive them of their things?
To put it bluntly, the money is actually free.

I know that your prince is short of money, and he doesn't even have the few ten thousand guan left. Giving him money now would be a timely help.

Your prince will remember our kindness, and things will be much easier to handle in the future. When you come to Dabao, your future benefits will naturally be greater.Li Chengqian fell into hesitation.

Lin Heng had reminded him before that he should stay away from the aristocratic family, and he could guess some of the reasons at that time.

After all, the aristocratic family is too powerful, and if the royal family gets too close to it, it will make the aristocratic family even more powerful in the future.

But now, if there is no money, the Prince's Mansion will be disbanded, and his father will learn about this matter. Then the trouble will be even greater, and it is likely to leave a bad impression on his father.

In comparison, if you accept it yourself, it's actually justifiable in name, and that's nothing.

He only needs to survive for three months. At that time, his father will spend money and cancel the cooperation.
After receiving a positive answer, Lu Siqi smiled and immediately called his entourage. Soon, boxes of money were moved into the Prince's Mansion.

"There are a total of [-] yuan here, which is the share last month. There will be more at the end of this month..."

The next day, imperial notices were posted everywhere in Chang'an. Lin Heng's reward was finalized, his title was jumped two levels in a row, he was treated as a Duke of the same county, and there was also the unheard-of hereditary system of neglecting the family for hundreds of years.

That is to say, starting from the year when the reward was awarded, within a hundred years, any direct descendant of Lin Heng would be hereditary and replace Lin Heng's current title.

The impact this brings is much greater than any reward.

There was an uproar in Chang'an City. Although they were shocked, they gradually got used to it.

After all, it is not strange for the current Lin Consort to do anything he does. The common people are happy to see the rewards and listen, but in fact, that's it.

Outside the natural building, it was as lively as ever, with an endless stream of guests.

In front of the door, a meat-and-wine monk stopped. Seeing such a bustling natural building, he immediately called out the name of Amitabha.

He then looked at the plaque at the door. He was a guest in Tiantian, but he was a guest in heaven. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He picked up a local and asked in Tang dialect with a strong Japanese accent: "This donor, dare I ask why this couplet only has the upper couplet and not the lower couplet?"

"Japanese monk?"

Kukai made a Buddhist name: "The poor monk is a Japanese from the Japanese country."

The man didn't pay attention and said casually: "There is a tradition in Tianju. As long as you can match the couplets, you can eat for free. After matching the couplets on the outside, you can eat for free for seven days, and the one on the inside can eat for free for a year."

Kukai immediately became curious: "Is it possible that this place has been open for so long and no one is interested in it?"

"Do you know who wrote these two couplets? They were written by our Emperor's Consort in the Tang Dynasty. He is known as the most talented man in Chang'an..."

After hearing these words, Kukai looked at the couplet and thought for a moment, and it seemed that it was indeed difficult to accept.

Then Kukai walked into the store and saw the second couplet.

Smoke lock pond willow...

How to pick this up?
It seems that the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty is well-deserved. No wonder there is only an upper tier but not a lower tier. He is not interested in this, but comes to eat this dish.

Their mission has just arrived in Chang'an. He is the accompanying monk and plans to worship Buddhism in Chang'an. However, since he is going to worship Buddha, he naturally needs to eat first...

“Waiter, let’s have some of that stir-fried beef, braised carp, and a pot of shochu!”
