Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 408 This is money grabbing
"Hate!"

Yang Xiaoran suddenly punched him in the chest, with red eye circles, sniffed his nose, and said, "Where did you learn it? Now you're more and more good at rhetoric..."

After finishing speaking, he hammered on his chest again, "You are not allowed to say that, I, I feel uncomfortable..."

Tightly grasping his own man's hand, he said, "If I don't leave, you can't leave me either."

After a pause, he continued: "Even if I die someday, you have to live on, you know? For our children..."

Li Chengqian shook his head, "I'm going to be selfish about this..."

He laughed, "The life of being alone until today is actually not much fun. After I became a prince at the age of eight, I was no longer me. Until you appeared, like a mountain spirit flying in the dark... When I was a child I just hoped that you would come to the East Palace to find me to play, and I didn’t understand why I did this at the time. I just felt that as long as you came, this lifeless East Palace would become more popular and liven up a lot.”

"So I look forward to your coming every day..."

Having said that, his complexion became a little bad, "I only have this little bit of fun, but people from those aristocratic families still want to deprive me of it! So the day you left Chang'an, Gu swore that he would skin them to relieve their cramps in the future. hatred!"

"Okay, okay, it's over..."

Yang Xiaoran leaned in his arms, "We are all alive and well."

"But if that day comes, I just want to be selfish for a while."

Li Chengqian touched her face, with deep infatuation in his eyes, "I don't know what my world will be like without you. Before you were forced out of the capital by them, I felt that it was meaningless. Now I had a child with you, and when I got to that day, I didn't even dare to think about what I would do if you weren't here? So, let me die before you..."

With tears in his eyes, Yang Xiaoran wiped his eyes, and said to his chest, "What's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly mention this? It's so annoying, I don't want to listen. We all have to live well..."

Li Chengqian chuckled, and said, "Probably because in a blink of an eye, the three little guys have reached the age where we need to teach them, so they feel old?"

"puff!"

Yang Xiaoran smiled through tears, and said: "You are enough, they are still young, only three years old, you feel old? What about this in your stomach? Grandpa feels old, but he hasn't come out yet .”

Li Chengqian smiled, but a trace of worry flashed in his deep eyes.

It was about his mother's life and death, how could he not be worried as a son?
I just thought that my wife had been struggling alone for many years, so I didn't dare to mention it.

It's just that when his wife talked about it today, he couldn't control his emotions for a while.

There was a silent sigh in my heart.

Can this confusing future really be grasped?

Are you being too greedy?
How could it be so easy to change one's life against the sky?

It's not easy for me, and neither is my mother!
I can only do my best to obey the destiny!I should be content with myself!It was his greatest luck that God sent her to his side.If you demand too much, you will be cast aside by God.

Thinking of this, she put away all the chaotic thoughts, touched her swollen belly, and said, "Let's go to sleep. There are still many things to do tomorrow..."

Speaking of this, he sneered again, "In three days, Qizong Nongzan will enter the capital. If you want to marry my Tang princess, you have to think hard."

………………

………………

On the second day, the weather cleared up.After a night of rain, the air became extraordinarily fresh, and it seemed that even the heat had been reduced a bit.

Early in the morning, a group of courtiers entered the palace.It's not hot this morning, and everyone will suffer less, just do all the things that should be done, and go back early later to avoid the pain of the scorching sun.

The opening ceremony held yesterday was so unique, everyone has to discuss it today.The most important thing is how much the lottery profit will be, which is what the courtiers are most concerned about.

And I have to show His Majesty the game order as soon as possible.

It is the first time for Datang to hold such a grand event, so it is natural to pay more attention to it.

And the reason they value is also very simple: money!
These Tang scholar-bureaucrats are probably too poor.In the early years, the emperor's life was difficult, and their life was also very miserable.Regardless of personal honor or disgrace.It's just that the treasury is so empty that they can run horses every day, which makes them anxious.

Now that there are many honest reasons to cover up the income of the court, they naturally don't have to hide it.In fact, once you taste the sweetness of this kind of thing, even if you want to brake, you can't stop it.

No matter how high your moral standard is, the facts are in front of you.

The policy theory that the crown princess handed over to the emperor earlier has now been realized bit by bit, and the improvement of the living standards of ordinary people can be seen as long as they are not blind.What is this court for?Although these literati and bureaucrats don't know anything about democracy, they still understand that it is the responsibility of the imperial court to let the common people live a good life.

So everyone tacitly said, hehe, this matter can naturally be discussed in an open and aboveboard manner.

How much the lottery ticket was yesterday is the key to determining whether this job can be continued for a long time.

So this early in the morning, a group of ministers all entered the palace to attend the court meeting.

The officials of the Ministry of Finance all wore panda eyes and looked exhausted.But those eyeballs are all glowing, shining like big light bulbs, obviously very excited.

His Majesty has not yet arrived, so this group of people is still waiting outside the hall.

Seeing the appearance of the colleagues from the household department, a group of people became curious.

"How many lottery tickets were sold yesterday? There shouldn't be many people who have been flattened, right?"

"There shouldn't be a loss this time... The old man always feels that he can't make money from this matter, so it's not bad if he doesn't lose money."

"The old man sees that the lottery sites are full. It's a good thing there was no curfew yesterday, otherwise the first game will have a morning glory."

"Hehe, now a group of people wake up early, waiting for the game to come out later, and betting on it!"

"I don't think it will lose money. I have carefully studied the regulations of this lottery..."

"Hey, fellow colleagues, it's better not to guess. When His Majesty comes down later, the answer to the mystery will be revealed."

An official from the household department smiled mysteriously and frightenedly, which made a group of people have the urge to spit on his face.

Fortunately, Li Er came at this time, and the official was spared a "vomited" incident.

It was just waiting for the established ceremony to finish, and after asking about yesterday's lottery ticket income, all the little yellow men who went up to Li Er and went to serve in the hall were not well.

all crazy!
Li Er's voice was trembling, "You, how much did you say? Excluding all expenses and cash, yes, how much?!"

"Back, back to Your Majesty! The minister started work overnight and called dozens of accountants. After one night's calculation, it was indeed 370 taels..."

Li Er, who stood up excitedly, sat back at once, his eyes became hollow, lost focus, he opened his mouth wide, like a fish out of water, and his breathing became rapid, " One, one night, 6, [-] more?"

Don't blame Li Er for being ignorant, this statistic really shocked him!

Not only was he dumbfounded, even the officials in the palace were also dumbfounded.

That body was swaying around, like a leaf in the wind, like an epileptic fit, almost foaming at the mouth!

Crazy, crazy!

What the hell is the princess doing in her head?
I really want to dig it out and have a look!
Such a way to collect money can also be thought of, it's just crazy!

It's only two pennies to buy a lottery ticket, my God!There are less than a million people in Chang'an, only 70 million. Could it be that everyone ran out to buy lottery tickets yesterday? !
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The household minister also gritted his teeth with difficulty and said: "At first, I thought the calculation was wrong, and I counted it several times, and finally confirmed that it was 370 two strings, and there were [-] more than one string. A fraction of that... This is the ledger, please look over it, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin felt that his whole body was not well.

Such a profitable business, what did you do in the early years? !
It's just sports lottery!
Didn't that girl say that there are other blessings? !

Even if you have to give part of the money you get to the poor, but at this speed of making money, you have to give as much as you want!
Where is this still making money?
This is no different from stealing money!
It is even more profitable than that glass!
You should have known this to make money...

Not anymore!
My heart hurts so much!
It has been abandoned for many years, abandoned!

Li Shimin took a quick look at the account book from beginning to end, and calmed down slightly.

"This time the payout is less, and many people are buying to win or lose, and few people buy even."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "If the people don't benefit, will it become a bad government?"

Changsun Wuji came out and replied: "Your Majesty, I have also studied this. The common people only have the concept of winning or losing, but they don't have a deep concept of the tie. After yesterday, there will be many people who want to buy the tie in the future. As for It will take some time to observe whether it will become a bad government."

After a pause, he continued: "However, I secretly think that it is best for His Majesty to set up a stele, so that future generations cannot lift the restriction on lottery purchases, up to three times. In order to prevent the subjects from becoming addicted to this way in the future, a good government will turn into an evil government."

Well, even the sports lottery has to have a name.Otherwise, the imperial court would be just making money and gambling openly.

So although the money goes to the national treasury, part of it has to be used to subsidize Datang's sports business and some social charity activities.

That's why it worked out so well.

"My minister agrees!"

Wei Zheng insisted on the wat board and went out: "If your majesty erects a stone tablet, it will be made by our Tang imperial court, and future generations will not dare to violate it, so there will be no such thing as a coincidence. All future troubles will be avoided, and one-to-one compensation will be paid. It’s not huge, at most it can make three consecutive profits, and it won’t confuse people’s hearts.”

Li Shimin thought for a while, then nodded, "The two love ministers are old-fashioned in their plans for the country. I approve of this! This will be a monument, and my descendants of Li and Tang will not violate it! The opening of the lottery will never be mentioned!"

"My emperor is wise!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
