I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1026 Extravagant reason

So she nodded,
"Since Xianggong has such a taste, let's play with you for a while!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Tian casually greeted him, and Wang Fu, who was accompanying him, immediately came over with an exquisite box.

This box was specially ordered by Li Tian.

On the surface, it is just a boxy box with no doorways.

But there are actually many organs hidden above.

I saw Li Tian lightly pressed on both sides, and the box split into two from the top.

Then, Li Tian gently pulled and pressed the unfolded cover, and the unfolded part became a flat and stable chessboard.

Finally, Li Tian pressed a few times on the lower part of the box, and took out several small boxes containing various chess pieces.

He picked one of them at random, and fell down on the chessboard with a clatter.

Those chess pieces are colorfully divided into several colors, but without exception, they are all very exquisitely crafted and the materials used are extremely particular. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are pieces of art.

The white is ivory, the green is agate, the yellow is amber, and the red is bloodstone.

Even the dice are carved from high-quality Hetian seed jade.

Li Tian spent no less time and energy on leisure and entertainment than on serious business.

Some people may say that he is playful and extravagant, but Li Tian doesn't care.

In his opinion, a good emperor is an emperor who can govern the world in a smooth and peaceful way while playing comfortably and happily.

He is exhausted, afraid to eat good food and drink good food, has never had a good night's sleep in his life, a model worker emperor like Chongzhen Yongzheng, Li Tian absolutely cannot do it.

If being the emperor is really such a hard job, he would rather not be the emperor.

The moment beautifully crafted chess pieces of various colors land on the board.

Not only the little girls who hadn't seen much of the world, but even Zhang Qinghuan, a lady from a family background, was also shocked.

"This...these things are too precious, and any one of them is priceless, but it is no problem for an ordinary person to live comfortably for decades.

Xianggong, don't you think it's too much to make such a luxury just for fun! "

Li Tian probably thought of it a long time ago, Zhang Qinghuan, a thrifty girl, would sigh so much when she saw these things.

He smiled faintly and started his own alternative sophistry.

"Qing Huan, you are wrong. It is because your husband and I are rich that we should use the best and most expensive things for all of us!"

Zhang Qinghuan gave him a supercilious look,
"Sir, you are talking nonsense. Qing Huanzhi has heard that the only way to make a family prosperous is to be diligent and thrifty. I have never heard of it. Extravagance can continue..."

Li Tian shook his head lightly and continued to argue,
"You don't know something about this. Listen to my husband and I will tell you."

"Indeed, thrifty housekeeping is indeed the only way to make the family prosperous.

But that refers to the small families.

They earn little, so naturally they have to be thrifty to allow their family fortune to accumulate continuously.

But for a rich man like you and me who can earn tens of millions of taels a year, being diligent and thrifty in housekeeping is not only not good for Daming, but also harmful. "

Zhang Qinghuan still didn't believe it.
"Nonsense, what's the point!"

Li Tian laughed,
"Don't worry, listen to my husband and let me speak slowly."

"Let me give you an example!"

As he spoke, he held up one of the priceless Hetian jade dice and said,
"This is a stone that was originally buried deep in the picture, but now it has become a treasure worth thousands of gold!

But have you ever thought that if no one buys this kind of thing at all, such a piece, which is neither suitable for eating nor drinking, is of any value. "

"This thing was bought by people like you and me with a lot of money.

In this way, the person who found the stone can get money, the person who bought the stone can also make money, the person who sold it to the capital, and the craftsman who polished it into its current shape can also make money. "

"Your husband and I only spent a small amount of money to buy a gadget for entertainment, but at the same time, dozens or hundreds of people made money.

When they have money, they can support more families. With more families and money, they can support more people to study and serve in the army...! "

"This is exactly a chessboard, but it only cost you and me 10 taels of silver.

But at least thousands of people have money to support their families and have better living conditions. "

"So, Qing Huan, tell me, are you doing a good deed or a bad deed!"

Li Tian's sophistry can be said to be impeccable, even Zhang Qinghuan, who has always been smart, can't find an excuse to refute, so he can only get angry on the sidelines.

Sun Ruowei on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly,
"Since Mr. Li is so rich, why don't you just give the money to the poor people? Wouldn't it be more convenient? Why do you have to go around in such a big circle."

This question is really wonderful, and it can be said to be the best of the best. It is not someone who has decades of experience in the game, and it is impossible to ask such a question.

If it was an ordinary person, Sun Ruowei might have really stopped him.

But what kind of person is Li Tian? In this day and age, he dares to be the number one, and no one dares to be the second. The ten years of posting in the past ten years were not for nothing.

He smiled and said unhurriedly,
"That can't be done, if everyone can get money without working, then in this world, will there be people who will farm the land and serve as soldiers.

Whether it is spending money or making money, they are all particular, and they get something for nothing, but this young master is the kind of person I hate the most. "

Sun Ruowei rolled his eyes at him, and he was completely out of temper by Li Tian.

"Okay, let's not talk about those boring topics. Now, my son will teach you how to play this exciting flying chess. After you learn it, you will not feel sleepy after playing it all night!"

Li Tian's words can be regarded as digging an extremely deep hole for himself.

Both Zhang Qinghuan and Sun Ruowei didn't go to the palace often, and they didn't know much about the fun things in Li Tian's entertainment room, and they didn't have much contact with them.

And things like board games are extremely addictive.

After the initial stage of unfamiliarity, no matter whether it was Zhang Qinghuan with a quiet personality, Sun Ruowei who was forthright with a charismatic spirit, or Sophia whose hands were itchy for a long time, all of them were as energetic as chicken blood.

Is there an exclamation in the cabin,
"It's six o'clock when I turn out, I can walk twice in a row, that's great, this treasure is mine!"

There were endless cheers like this.
