Chapter 78 Li Chengqian's Bad Taste
Do you know what you are talking about?!
It is not like you who favor your son.
Perhaps Li Shimin's expression seemed a little distorted because of shock. Empress Changsun couldn't help but chuckled: "Erlang, it seems that you really don't understand Chengqian's child. Do you really think that he who could cheat money from you would be cheated by a few and a half-year-old boys?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not."
Empress Changsun smiled and told him about Li Chengqian's improvement of printing technology. After hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned: "What do you mean is that the brat not only didn't spend a penny, but instead made tens of thousands of coins from the five surnames Qiwang?"
Queen Changsun nodded: "If the money given to him by those families is included, it will be almost 12,000 yuan. However, people of the five surnames have done a bit too much during this period. Such blatant calculations clearly do not take us seriously."
Li Shimin, who was shocked by his son's money several times in just one month, nodded in a daze: "It's really a bit too much."
"Do you need me to hit them?"
"This kind of thing is not suitable to be put on the table and say, find some time to call the women from those families into the palace to warn them, don't make too much trouble."
Of course, Empress Changsun would not make things worse. After all, her son was still counting on cheating more money from the hands of the five surnames Qiwang. If they were scared back all at once, where would the money come from?
...
The conversation was divided, but after Li Chengqian returned to Xichiyuan, he first asked someone to prepare five thousand guan to send to the inner treasury, and then he shook the Zhu Pit note in his hand and went to Sinong Temple.
From the temple to the ministers and the lords, they all came outside to greet them.
Although Sinong Temple is ranked among the fifth supervisor of the Nine Temples, its status is not high. Just like the Ministry of Works among the Six Ministry, although it is one of the Six Ministry, it is basically regarded as a group of craftsmen, and most of the time it is not as good as a supervisor.
Most of the time, Sinong Temple is regarded as a group of farmers. There will basically be no one coming all year round. Even if everyone always claims to be farm-oriented, they still cannot correct the fact that it is not highly valued.
"I will meet with His Highness the Crown Prince."
His eyes swept over the twenty-two people of all ages, and Li Chengqian turned his mouth aside: "Are you all exempted? Luo Siqing and Sinong Temple all arrived?"
Luo Chengzu's face was filled with a smile: "Go back to the crown prince, everyone is already there. I wonder what instructions does your highness have?"
"Let's talk about it when you go in. This is not a place to talk." Li Chengqian waved his hand and walked in first.
The official office of Sinong Temple is actually not large, covering only two or three acres of land. There is a spacious courtyard in front. The other three directions of the courtyard are the office locations of officials at all levels. A stone road leads to the backyard, which is the warehouse and the place where information is stored. Generally, few people will pass by.
There is no Ministry of Revenue, the people coming and going from the Ministry of War, nor the magnificence of the Ministry of Rites. If you have to use four-character idioms to describe the interior of Sinong Temple, the only thing Li Chengqian could think of was poverty.
"Your Highness, all twenty-three officials from all over the Sinong Temple are here. What reprimands do you have?"
When he walked into Luo Chengzu's official office and sat on the main seat, the old Luo came up with a smile: "Since the old minister came back from His Majesty and told his colleagues about his teachings, his colleagues deeply felt their own shortcomings and were waiting for His Highness to solve our doubts."
I'm immortal, is this the one who wants to play with me?
The eyes swept over the officials of Sinong Temple with different expressions and ulterior motives.
Li Chengqian could understand their thoughts, after all, no one wanted to have an extra ancestor who was pointing fingers on his head.
But since they have come, they have to bear it whether they like it or not.
Xi Junmai, who stood behind him like a javelin, hooked his finger, took a chopstick from his hand, and said to Luo Chengzu with a smile: "Luo Siqing knows what this is, do you?"
Old Man Luo didn't know what Li Chengqian sold in the gourd, and hesitated and replied: "Uh... chopsticks?"
"No," Li Chengqian nodded, then folded the chopsticks into two pieces with a "click".
Luo Chengzu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Li Chengqian ignored the confused officials, all the officials, and took a bundle of chopsticks from Xi Junmai, and then folded them hard...
Click.
It was broken again.
Well, it's a mess!
The corners of the mouths of the Sinong Temple twitched, and they tried to hold back and didn't dare to laugh out loud.
Even if I read less, everyone guessed what Li Chengqian meant. One chopstick is easy to fold, but it is not easy to break ten chopsticks.
An old thorn.
But when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to perform, everyone will cooperate to watch it. I guess they will ask themselves what they have learned from it later.
Alas, I am still young after all. I just come out to show off when I hear an allusion. I am too careless.
But what should I say later? Should I give the prince some face, pretend that I didn’t see the chopsticks break, and then tell him that the unity is strong.
It's so entangled, it's so hard to bear laughter.
Everyone's face turned red, and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
At this moment, Li Chengqian threw the props prepared in advance to the ground and patted his hands gently: "Now, who can tell Gu, what have you realized?"
Here comes, it is indeed!
Everyone went to see Luo Chengzu, and the meaning was very obvious. Boss, come on, we can't stand this.
Luo Chengzu also endured the pain very much, bit his back teeth, tried to control his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister understands."
Li Chengqian looked at Luo Chengzu with great interest, "Oh? Tell me."
Old Man Luo nodded: "No, the old minister thinks that Your Highness means that no matter how powerful a person is, his strength is ultimately limited. When everyone is united, any difficulties can be overcome."
Standard answer, perfect.
After Old Man Luo finished speaking, he gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
However, to everyone's surprise, Li Chengqian did not show an awkward expression, but instead looked at everyone with a sarcastic face, and said four words lightly: "Be smart."
"Well……"
As if they were greatly insulted, officials from all over the Sinong Temple all showed dissatisfaction expressions, as if waiting for Li Chengqian to give them a satisfactory explanation.
Li Chengqian did not disappoint everyone, and smiled slightly: "Of course, this is not what Gu means. What you are talking about is an old allusion. How could Gu use it to show his ugly face?"
"What does Your Highness mean?"
Li Chengqian flicked his finger: "The meaning of Gu is actually very simple, that is: Even if you tie them together, you are still not Gu's opponents."
