He returned to the mansion first, put his things back, and then knocked on Du Ruhui's door.
As His Majesty's first few people to go to Zhaojiazhuang, Li should set an example.
"Lord Changsun."
"Master Du."
"I wonder why Mr. Changsun came to my house today?"
After looking at his eldest son, Sun Wuji, and then at the other palace personnel following him, Du Ruhui felt doubtful.
Seeing Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji didn't give any more explanation and just said what he said.
His Majesty sent himself to deliver blessings to all civil and military officials. After saying this, he took out two words of blessing and a pair of spring couplets and handed them to him.
Du Ruhui was confused again when he saw what was in front of him.
After Changsun Wuji's simple explanation, Du Ruhui understood what it meant.
It was strange to be able to celebrate the Chinese New Year like this, and then I said thank you to Your Majesty.
His Majesty can think of his ministers so much, write letters to each minister, and send people to send blessings. This is the greatest honor for all their ministers.
"In this case, I won't keep Lord Changsun here. I can't delay you from sending blessings to other ministers!"
"I said Master Du, have you forgotten something?"
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty personally wrote blessings and Spring Festival couplets for you.
It’s almost the Chinese New Year, don’t you have to give His Majesty money to polish his pen and reciprocate the courtesy?”
I ride a horse.
When Du Ruhui heard this, he immediately felt that the word "blessing" and the Spring Festival couplets were no longer popular.
"Master Du, if you don't want the Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu", that's fine. Your Majesty has sent these, of course you can refuse them!"
Do you have the right to say no?
"Master Zhangsun, please tell me how much this will cost?"
"Mr. Du, what do you mean by giving money? This is called your Majesty's writing fee, this is called courtesy. The reference price is ten taels of silver."
Well, ten taels of silver is not much, and it is worth it to receive His Majesty's blessing.
But looking at his eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui knew that this idea was definitely not his Majesty's. It must have been his eldest grandson Wuji's.
This is used to make money for His Majesty. Why is his eldest grandson Wuji such a thief?
After collecting the money and exchanging a few words before leaving, Changsun Wuji left Du Ruhui's residence, and then went to the residences of Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.
I sent blessings, received money, and was scolded a few times in my heart.
No matter where they are, no one dares to scold His Majesty. They can only scold Changsun Wuji angrily.
How could his eldest grandson Wuji not know what they were thinking, since he was smiling anyway.
After completing the task, he went to other ministers' homes.
In line with the principle of not forcing anything, if you want to receive His Majesty's blessing, you have to give money. The guide price is 10 taels of silver.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't answer.
Speaking of ministers who can attend court every day, how many of them are fools?
His eldest son, Sun Wuji, took the place of His Majesty, and now he has reached this point. He has even given out the price guide for the court, so he is asking you whether you want it or not?
It is necessary. Not only is it necessary, but these ten taels of silver are definitely not enough. Are 20 taels, 50 taels, or 100 taels enough?
As long as it can make His Majesty happy and enter His Majesty's eyes, everything is worth it.
Money, after all, is something external to oneself.
Children can be taught and have a bright future!
For two whole days, Li Er was in pain and happiness. He wrote more in these two days than he had written in the past half month.
But when I saw the tens of thousands of cars of silver placed below, I secretly sighed.
If you are educated, you can make a lot of money. It is a pity that I have written a lot these days.
There were more than 10 more copies than planned. If it didn't work, we had to post them in other places in the palace.
"Your Majesty, why don't you hand these over to Wei Chen and ask Wei Chen to go and deal with them.
Wei Chen can exchange the rest for some more money."
"Auxiliary machine, what can you do?"
Changsun Wuji told him the method. Li Er thought for a moment and shook his head softly.
"Isn't this not good?"
I just arranged the words "Fu" for other ministers in the court and collected some writing fees.
And his idea today is to put these couplets and the word "Fu" into the public and sell them among the people.
If this spreads out, how will the princes and ministers in the court view themselves?
And let me ask how the people of the Tang Dynasty viewed themselves?
"Your Majesty, the things you have done are blessings to all people. What your Majesty has done is a good thing.
We have done such a good thing, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are grateful before it is too late."
Li Er was moved again by what Changsun Wuji said, but this time, he changed the matter slightly. The two hit it off and arranged the matter.
On the morning of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, in the very center of Chang'an City, court officials arrived and told the story of His Majesty's blessing, which attracted everyone to rush over.
After two hours of warm-up, the auction officially started at noon.
Although the price of 10 copies of "Fu" was not much higher than the money given to those princes and ministers.
That was a full 5,000 taels of silver less. This operation caused a lot of discussion throughout Chang'an City.
It doesn’t matter who buys it, what a privilege it is to be able to buy His Majesty’s authentic work, bless it, and have His Majesty’s personal seal on it?
It will definitely provide some assistance for the further development of their family.
Some people are secretly unhappy. May I ask what your Majesty's status is?
He actually arranged for people in the court to sell calligraphy and paintings in public. How is this method any different from the merchants in Chang'an City?
It is simply an insult to the title of a sage.
However, before they could criticize the court, another word came from the court.
Your Majesty has been writing blessings and couplets these days, not only for the people of Chang'an City today.
All the princes and ministers in the court gave it to them.
All the money, a total of 15,000 taels of silver, was used by Your Majesty to buy food to help the victims of the Tang Dynasty.
Don’t you think that all the money obtained by His Majesty has become his own private money, put in his own Ministry of Internal Affairs, and used for his own food, drink and entertainment?
If this is true, you are really insulting Your Majesty. All these things His Majesty has done are for the people of the world.
With your Majesty's status, why should you insult your own status like this?
For a time, Li Er's dramatic reversal was directly raised to the highest level, and the people cheered, "Long live your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise, our Tang Dynasty has such a sage and sage king, why worry that our Tang Dynasty will not prosper?"
Now that the price of food is really stable, Li Er sent people to take advantage of his reputation and allocate tens of thousands of taels of money from the treasury to start buying on a large scale to cope with the disaster that will happen next year!
