Suddenly, the entire city of Chang'an was filled with mahjong addiction craze.
From morning to night, a group of noble ladies gathered on a table called the Eight Immortals Table and worked hard.
Seeing this scene, all the dandy boys who brought mahjong back to their house felt like crying without tears.
However, they cannot afford to offend everyone at the table.
So, I could only sigh helplessly, run out of the house, and buy mahjong again.
Fortunately, these mahjong games are not expensive either.
A pair of mahjong made of red sandalwood and inlaid with jade only has ten strings; if it is just made of wood blocks, a good block will have four or five strings, and a bad block will have one string.
When Li Xuan knew about this, it was still a month later.
Chu Suiliang, the chief historian, held the account book in his hand and reported to him the income of the palace.
"Mahjong is divided into ten thousand pieces?"
Li Xuan's face was full of surprise.
"Your Majesty, you don't know?"
Chu Suiliang was also in a daze.
"How do I know?" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who sent the mahjong share?"
"Back to your Majesty, it was sent by the steward of the Prince of Hejian County!"
Chu Suiliang replied quickly.
"Your Majesty, if there is anything wrong with this matter, I will send all these ten thousand dollars back after I return."
"It doesn't matter. Since you sent it, just keep it. After all, mahjong is also my game!" Li Xuan said.
"Is Mahjong also the work of the king?"
Hearing this, Chu Suiliang looked at Li Xuan with resentment on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xuan was a little puzzled.
"The king's talent is amazing, and the subordinates admire him. It's just this mahjong, alas..."
As he said that, Chu Suiliang couldn't help but sigh, with a look of helplessness on his face, "My wife and her concubines are in the room every day, just playing mahjong and not caring about anything else in the house! There seems to be a tendency for people to become obsessed, and even
Grandma, and several aunts, too!"
"I heard that the situation in the palace is also the same. Many ministers are very happy about the mahjong thing, but there are also many ministers who are restless in the back house because of it. They hate mahjong deeply and want to find out the culprit..."
"It seems that Chu Changshi also dislikes mahjong!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "However, I just made a set of this thing to relieve the old man's boredom. I just don't know why mahjong started to be sold in large quantities in Chang'an City!"
"Master, forgive me!"
Hearing this, the expressions of Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi on the side changed drastically.
"Um?"
Li Xuan was startled and turned his head to look at these people.
"Did you do this?"
"Master, when we first started, we just saw that my mother-in-law stayed in the house every day and was bored. So we ordered the craftsmen in the house to make a mahjong set for my mother-in-law to relieve her boredom.
Unexpectedly, A Niang only played for one day and became addicted to it. Seeing this, Aye directly asked the craftsmen in his house to make several pairs of mahjong and sell them in Chang'an City.
Unexpectedly, in just one month, all the noble merchants in Chang'an City have started playing mahjong every day. Even in the cities around Chang'an City, the style of mahjong has begun to prevail!"
Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi quickly explained.
"I see!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan's expression softened, and he said to Chu Suiliang on the side: "You see, I invented the mahjong thing. However, the people who were selling it in Chang'an City were a few of them, Aye, and
This king has nothing to do with it!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!"
Chu Suiliang's expression changed and he quickly raised his hands in response.
Now that that person is involved, no matter how much resentment he has about this matter, he can only hold it in.
No wonder, there are so many distinguished families in Chang'an City who are disturbed by mahjong and their families are restless. After checking the Chang'an City with angry faces for a while, they stopped playing and laying down their flags.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Li Xuan's expression changed again.
"Your Majesty put all the money from the sofa workshop and the glass shop in the Jin Palace?"
"Back to the king, the sofa workshop was divided into 52,000 guan, the glass shop was divided into 64,000 guan, the iron stove was divided into 10,000 guan, and the world library was divided into 20,000 guan, totaling 146,000 guan, all of which were placed in Shanxi
In the palace treasury!"
Chu Suiliang's expression changed slightly and he quickly raised his hands in response.
"It doesn't matter, just let it go!"
Li Xuan sighed softly, "It just so happens that Lijiazhuang can't store so much money! You can just send it to me when I need it!"
"Your Majesty, it has been more than a month since the renovation of Prince Jin's Mansion was completed. You have not seen any of the servants and stewards in the mansion. Until now, those servants and stewards do not know you.
And those guards and bodyguards, you are not allowed to come to Lijiazhuang and rest in Prince Jin's Mansion every day. If this continues, the censors in the court will really join in with you!"
The corners of Chu Suiliang's mouth trembled, and he quickly raised his hands and said.
There was still a hint of pleading in his eyes.
This was the first time since ancient times that he had heard of the prince acting like this.
When the palace was newly built, he did not go to live in the palace even once, and he did not even let the servants and guards of the palace come to visit and serve him!
"Is it really that serious?"
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with anger.
"This king has his own palace, and he can do whatever he wants. If there is any blind person who wants to meddle in other people's business, just come and tell me that I happen to be a little bored these days, go and talk to him about it!"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Chu Suiliang's expression changed drastically.
"Humph! Don't worry, Chu Changshi. I just want to live leisurely in my little house, and don't want to cause trouble. As long as those talkative people don't mess with me!" Li Xuan snorted, his tone a little dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Chu Suiliang looked helpless and very tired.
Suddenly thinking of Li Yuan on the side, he quickly turned his head with a pleading look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know what to do about this matter!"
"Xuanba, Prince Jin's Mansion is your mansion after all. It's been so long, and you, the master, should go and visit it! Even if you don't want to live there, you should take a break and let the servants and guards get to know you.
This King Jin can do it too!
Otherwise, everyone would think that something happened to you, the King of Jin, and you are afraid to see people all the time!"
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said to Li Xuan.
"What the old man said makes sense!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan thought for a moment and then said: "So, today, I will go and see what my palace looks like!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will make arrangements right away!"
Chu Suiliang's face was full of joy, he quickly got up and ran out.
"No need to go to such trouble, just take me and go to the palace for a tour!" Li Xuan called to Chu Suiliang.
"yes!"
Hearing this, Chu Suiliang quickly stopped.
"Old man, why don't you go with us?"
Li Xuan invited Li Yuan.
To be honest, Li Xuan really didn't know how to face those servants and guards for the first time as a prince.
"That's good, I haven't been in Chang'an City for a long time, wandering around!"
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Soon, a motorcade set off from Lijiazhuang and headed for Chang'an City.
Have a safe journey.
However, after entering Chang'an City, a group of ordinary-looking vendors at the city gate quickly put away their stalls and quickly ran into the crowd.
Li Xuan knew nothing about this.
After entering Chang'an City, Li Xuan opened the car curtain and looked out with curiosity.
