Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Wang's mansion.

"Has your Wang family elected a new patriarch?"

Su Chen and Wen Degu sat in the main seat of the Wang family's living room. Su Chen looked at a group of old men below and asked.

"I will temporarily take over the position of the Wang family's patriarch. If you have anything to say, please speak directly."

An old man with a goat beard below said with a bow.

"How much cash, grain, land and mines does your Wang family have now?"

"There are about 500 hectares of land and 7 iron mines. There are about 300,000 shi of grain in Chang'an, and about 12 million strings of silver."

The old man with a goat beard, Wang Kaishan, answered truthfully.

The Cui family has already disbanded, and they dare not have any dissatisfaction. If they are not careful, the Wang family may not be able to be saved.

Su Chen nodded, "Give half of the Wang family's land and mining contracts to Lord Wen and submit them to the government. I will take half of the money as compensation for me."

"Do you have any objections?"

Su Chen glanced at the Wang family members below and observed their facial expressions. If someone was dissatisfied or hostile, he would have to be ruthless in order to avoid trouble.

"It's all up to you, sir!"

Wang Kaishan had almost no hesitation. They couldn't afford to offend anyone now. In the future, the Wang family could only keep a low profile, otherwise they might not be able to keep their current family business.

"That's good!"

"By the way, have all the Wang family's deadpools been dismissed?"

Su Chen was very satisfied with his attitude and asked another question when he thought of something.

Wang Kaishan answered truthfully:

"The Wang family now only has servants and servants, and the remaining dead servants have all been dismissed."

Su Chen stood up and smiled at Wen Degu:

"Thank you, Lord Wen! I'll leave first, you can do the rest!"

After that, he strode away and stopped when he came to Wang Kaishan.

"I hope you, the Wang family, will take care of yourself in the future!"

Su Chen left the Wang family with a chic back.

...

There were more than 800 people when they came, including nearly 500 bandits and those dead servants. Now there are only more than 300 people going back.

Su Chen led everyone back to the manor along the same route. Just as he was about to leave Chang'an City, he realized that he had been so busy that he hadn't eaten lunch yet!

According to modern time, it should be 2 o'clock in the afternoon now.

"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, take a box of copper coins and bring a few brothers with you to buy more sheep or mutton or other meats, enough to feed more than 600 people in the farm."

"I've been busy since early morning and haven't eaten yet!"

Going to the restaurant is not an option, not to mention that there are dozens of carts and money boxes.

Su Chen also counted the 500 Jinwu guards. He planned to ask them where those people came from after returning to the farm.

Li Shimin bullied Su Chen for being "uneducated". According to the Tang Dynasty law, people of status and position such as Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin would not have so many guards with swords at home.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu moved a small box of copper coins and left with more than 20 servants. They still called Su Chen "sir".

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "Let's go back to the farm!"

...

Li Shimin and others returned to the Taiji Hall and the Imperial Study.

"That kid is really evil. He dared to confiscate half of the Wang family's property privately. Tell me, isn't that kid too bold?"

Li Shimin is still upset about this matter. He thinks that money belongs to him.

He was so angry that he returned to the imperial study and kept muttering.

At this time, the imperial study was almost full of people, six trusted ministers and Li Shimin's family of four.

They kept listening to Li Shimin muttering, and no one answered.

Everyone felt very uncomfortable. They kept dodging their eyes and pretending to drink tea, and they had to force themselves not to laugh out loud.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin teasingly, and she looked like she had lost millions.

"Huh? Do you think I feel sorry for the money of the Wang family?"

Li Shimin found that no one paid attention to him, and asked with a frown.

"Everyone, the money is a small matter. The key is that the boy is too lawless. He dared to openly confiscate the money that originally belonged to the national treasury and took it for himself. This is contempt for the national law. Don't you think so?"

Li Shimin finished speaking with emotion, and his eagle eyes swept across the crowd with a slightly threatening look.

The scene was silent for a while, and then everyone understood and shouted:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and drank a sip of tea.

Carefully asked:

"Tell me, how much money did that boy take from the Wang family?"

Everyone looked at each other. It's endless, right? Let's comfort him.

"Your Majesty, no matter how much money Su took from the Wang family, it's still your Majesty who benefited the most!"

Changsun Wuji comforted him earnestly.

"Oh? Fu Ji, what do you mean? Tell me in detail!"

Li Shimin thought: All the money was taken by that boyIf I take it away, will I still benefit the most?

"Your Majesty, the two most powerful families of the Seven Famous Families, Cui Wang and Wang, were so easily destroyed by Su Xiaozi. Will other families dare to show their fangs in the future? Just look at the ending of Cui Wang and Wang's families."

"I have to admire the means and strategies of the 'National Master'. He used public opinion to force Cui Wang and Wang's families to surrender."

"Even if Your Majesty does it himself, I think he can't do it like the 'National Master' to make these two thousand-year-old families hide and disperse without bloodshed."

Li Shimin listened carefully, nodding frequently while thinking.

Then he showed an intriguing smile on his face and looked at Empress Changsun.

"Queen, how much do you think I should take as a betrothal gift for that boy to get engaged to Changle?"

Everyone was embarrassed when they heard what Li Shimin said.

It's really embarrassing to be a minister under him. He's obsessed with money!

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue Dai wants to see Your Majesty!"

Wang Defa came from outside the door to report.

Seeing that there were ministers outside asking to see Your Majesty, Empress Changsun knew that she should leave, and stood up to look at Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, as for the amount of the betrothal gifts, I don't know, but Your Majesty, you should ask the craftsmen to make tables, chairs and benches as soon as possible. I will take my leave first."

Empress Changsun gave Li Shimin a slightly disdainful smile and left with a graceful step.

Li Shimin was slightly embarrassed, "Announce!"

"Your Majesty, this is the list of all the property of the Cui family, and this is the contract for the grain, land and minerals confiscated by the Wang family. Please take a look."

Dai Zhou brought the property that Wen Degu had recovered from the Wang family, as well as the list of property he had personally confiscated from the Cui family, and reported to Li Shimin.

"Okay, okay! This kid still has a conscience. He did not take all the property of the Wang family, hahaha!"

After laughing, he carefully checked the list.

"This thousand-year-old family really can't be underestimated. The Cui family actually has such a rich family background."

Li Shimin looked at the list of Cui family's property in his hand and was secretly shocked.

"Your Majesty, according to Lord Wen, the governor of Chang'an, Mr. Su only took 6.5 million strings of silver from the Wang family. He did not touch the other property at all and handed it all to Lord Wen to transfer to the national treasury."

Dai Zhou told Li Shimin what he knew from Wen Degu.

He went to the manor with Li Daoxuan last time and met Su Chen.

He also knew that the last snowflake salt incident increased the national treasury's revenue by more than 20 million strings, which was Su Chen's credit.

"Hahaha! Good, you are worthy of being my good son-in-law, hahaha..."

Everyone just wanted to say: Have shame? Su Chen knows you, the emperor?

"Lord Dai, please register and put it in the national treasury, without any mistakes!"

"Wang Defa, pass on my oral order, order the Ministry of Works to make tables, chairs and benches with all their strength, 100 sets of eight-immortal tables and 10 sets of round tables! Deliver them to the manor soon, without any mistakes!"

Then he looked at several ministers and said with a smile:

"Three days later, at the Royal Manor, my son-in-law's engagement banquet, you must be present."

"It's good to be present, it doesn't matter if it's polite or not!"

Li Shimin said with a wave of his hand, and his eyes swept over the people present one by one.

"I will definitely bring heavy gifts and attend!"
