Chapter 239 Where has all my money gone?

Li Xuan said he was just wandering around, which was really not an excuse.

His Lijiazhuang is all on track this time.

In ordinary times, his favorite chickens, ducks, pigs, fish, and various vegetables have all begun to be planted.

He also raised a cute dumpling, so when the old man is not around, he can masturbate in all kinds of ways!

He also has a large group of craftsmen and farmers to provide for his own work.

The only pity is that his own courtyard has not yet been built, and he does not have an aunt who belongs to him at home to share happiness and enjoy the beauty with him every day!

Now, his only motivation is to speed up as much as possible so that these craftsmen can build him a separate courtyard more quickly and effortlessly.

Every day, he would inspect the construction site, using his future perspective, to find where he could help, and then ask.

At first, some craftsmen and people were still frightened by Li Xuan's attitude.

After all, how could His Majesty the King of Jin do such a despicable thing?

However, after discovering that His Highness Prince Jin was more professional than them in some aspects, he was immediately filled with admiration, and gradually began to get used to Li Xuan's daily behavior of not doing his job properly.

After inspecting the entire Lijiazhuang, Li Xuan returned to the house.

Li Shimin dragged Li Chengqian and others to the open space outside the warehouse, and then found a big stone and then a long wooden stick as Li Xuan said.

However, there is no big bucket filled with concrete.

So Cheng Zhijie sat directly at the shorter end.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, was forced by Li Shimin to hold down the longest end, and then he exerted force, and saw Cheng Zhijie's whole body gradually leaving the ground with the stick!

"How can this be?"

Sitting in the air, Cheng Zhijie looked in disbelief.

However, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji on the side seemed to be thinking of something, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"Gao Ming, get down!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he shouted to Li Chengqian. After Li Chengqian got down, he pressed him up with one hand.

At the other end, Cheng Zhijie was lifted up again.

"Your Majesty, how similar is this object to the stone?"

At this moment, Fang Xuanling finally remembered and said to Li Shimin with a strange look on his face.

Forehead!

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie's expressions froze.

On the side, Li Xiaogong could not help but chuckle and said: "This thing is somewhat similar to a catapult!"

Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie: "..."

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling and others stopped talking.

After Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie came down, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others quickly went up and silently put the sticks and big stones back to their original places.

Afterwards, everyone returned to Li Xuan's cabin.

"Hey, why is Your Majesty looking like this?"

Seeing the unhappy look on Li Shimin's face, Li Xuan looked confused.

"Why didn't Xuan Ba ​​say that the principle of leverage is catapults and stone cranes?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin's face was full of resentment.

"Hey……"

Beside, Li Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but sneer.

This time, Li Shimin's face turned even darker.

Seeing this, Li Xuan was also startled, chuckled, and quickly changed the topic.

"Your Majesty, you came here today, but what do you want?"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned and said quickly: "I almost forgot about the business!"

"Xuanba, I have already started to officially sell refined salt in Chang'an City!"

"Your Majesty sells it yourself?"

Li Xuan was stunned and stared at Li Shimin to confirm.

"naturally!"

Li Shimin nodded matter-of-factly, "Since I can also cook such fine refined salt, I naturally want to sell it myself!"

"I wonder what your Majesty's price is?" Li Xuan asked.

"Ten cents per pound!" Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty has mercy!"

Li Xuan was full of praise.

Previously, the best Qinghai salt in the Tang Dynasty cost thirty cents per pound.

Um?

Suddenly, Li Xuan thought of something and looked at Li Shimin with a strange expression.

"Your Majesty, those Qinghai salts were sold by aristocratic families?"

"Most of it is owned by aristocratic families, and some salt is produced and sold by some salt people!" Li Shimin said.

"I see!"

After listening, Li Xuan completely understood.

"Xuanba, this refined salt is the formula you provided. You can get 10% of the money from the sale of the refined salt!"

As Li Shimin said this, his face could not help but feel slightly hot.

To be honest, Li Xuan's 50% share of the money earned from these refined salts would not be too much.

However, now the internal treasury is too short of money.

However, according to past experience, Li Xuan would definitely not accept more than 10%. Therefore, Li Shimin could only divide 10% as usual.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly and did not refuse.

Because, he found that during this period, he could not make as much money as he spent.

However, according to the method he provided, boiling a pound of refined salt can cost up to two pennies. If you add one more penny for shop fees and wages per pound of salt, you can still earn seven pennies.

Gee, selling salt is really a huge profit.

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Li Shimin and others did not know Li Xuan's thoughts.

He came to Lijiazhuang mainly to tell Li Xuan about this matter and see Li Xuan's reaction.

Since Li Xuan was very satisfied, Li Shimin was relieved.

Moreover, there was an unexpected gain, a kind of account book that he had never seen before, which was better than any kind of account book he had ever seen. In addition, there was also a sacred thing called a thousand catty crane that could easily lift a thousand catty weight.

Satisfied, he took Cheng Zhijie and others and hurriedly left.

After all, it was hard for all of them to face the indifferent old man.

"Gao Ming, how much money have I spent on building the other courtyard?"

After Li Shimin and others left, Li Xuan asked.

"To return to Master, not counting today's expenses, the total cost is twelve hundred guan!"

Li Chengqian said quickly.

"Where did all the money in the master's side room go?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan's face was startled.

He remembered that there were 50,000 to 60,000 guan of money stored in the inner room of the hospital. Why did he only have four boxes of money left when he went to see it yesterday?

"Back to Master, you gave rewards to the imperial eunuchs and the prince of Hejian County, and you spent a box of money, about four hundred guan!"

"Master, you spent more than a thousand dollars to buy the land!"

"You spent more than a hundred dollars to build the pig circle!"

"Chicken pen, more than a hundred chicken pens!"

"Duck pen, more than a hundred!"

"Paddy field, more than fifty strings!"

"..."

After listening, Li Xuan calculated carefully and found that it was only more than 2,000 yuan, and he couldn't help but frown again.

"anything else?"

Li Chengqian:......

Cheng Chusi...

Everyone was confused.

"Master, when you went to Dengzhou, you brought more than four hundred strings with you!" Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he continued.

"That's too bad!"

Li Xuan still frowned.

On the side, Li Baoding seemed to remember something and glanced at Li Xuan hesitantly.

“Speak up if you have something to say!”

"Master, this matter seems to have something to do with the housekeeper!"

Li Baoding said cautiously.

"housekeeper?"

Li Xuan asked slowly.

"Exactly!"

Li Baoding nodded hurriedly, "I remember that a few days ago, the housekeeper seemed to have brought the guards of the house to the other courtyard to carry away the box containing the money!"

"Go and summon the butler!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. The money in that room was the only reason he dared to waste it like this every day.

"yes!"

Li Baoding ran out quickly.

After a while, the housekeeper Li Chang stood in front of Li Xuan.

"I wonder why the king calls the villain?"
