Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 248

Huang Yuanxiang hurriedly said: "Your Highness is serious, it is my honor to be able to do things for His Highness...Your Highness, you said at the beginning that when the coal mine was just established, everything is inseparable from you, but now, the coal mine has been established for half a year... Everything is in order, and there must be no need for His Highness to stare at him, Your Highness, you can follow me back to Chang'an City."

As he spoke, he stared at Li Tai eagerly.

But Li Tai shook his head: "Master Huang, before this, I really thought so. I planned to help Chen Chu for a while before leaving the coal mine... But later, I felt more and more happy to stay in the coal mine." Infinity, you have not personally mined coal, you have not participated in coal washing, you have not seen the joy of those businessmen from other places, this king has seen it, so this king feels very happy."

"Previously, this king was the aloof Yue king. He was deeply favored by his father, his honor deepened, and he received countless rewards every year. However, this king felt unhappy. He always felt that he had a backbone in his heart and could not vent it."

"But it's different now. Master Huang, you often say that what this king is doing is the work of merchants. No, do you know that the coal from Meishan Coal Mine has been sold for half the Tang Dynasty? The common people are burning coal... Tell me, is this a great achievement?"

Li Tai felt refreshed, unprecedentedly happy.

Huang Yuanxiang was dumbfounded.

"Your Highness..."

But Li Tai waved his hand and turned away, "I still have to go to the coal washing area, Master Huang, you should have a good rest... If you have the opportunity to go to the coal mine more, don't stay in the house every day and read those strategies History books..."

Huang Yuanxiang looked at the "Warring States Policy" in front of him, and couldn't help but blush.

I was turned down by His Highness?

For a moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

……

Li Tai's changes are really too great.

From Huang Yuanxiang's point of view, Li Tai seemed to be a different person, he was no longer the Li Tai he was familiar with.

In the past, Li Tai had only one goal, and that was to compete for favor, to compete with Prince Li Chengqian.

But now Li Tai opened his mouth to common people and shut his mouth to coal. He had already forgotten about the competition for the crown prince.

Huang Yuanxiang stood by the table, thinking for a while.

He felt that the coal mine must have changed the king of Yue.

"No, I'm going to see why..."

Huang Yuanxiang planned to go to the coal mine to find out the reason for Li Tai's sudden temperament change.

Thinking about it, Huang Yuanxiang cleaned up and went out. He went to the administration building first.

Into a yard.

I saw all kinds of accountants in long gowns walking around, and everyone was in a hurry.

This is the place where he came to help with the accounting.

Since he was already an acquaintance, no one stopped him.

He walked into a room and saw an old man who was doing abacus with his head down, and asked, "This account has been calculated a few days ago, why is it suddenly busy again?"

The old man turned his head back and said respectfully: "Master Huang, you don't know something. The calculations in the past few days were accounts, but in the past two days, they were calculated as dividends. The boss sent a message that I must wait for the accounts of dividends to be distributed within today. The calculation is clear, and the dividend money will be sent to various places in Chang'an City early tomorrow morning... A lot of shares are involved, so the calculation is relatively cumbersome..."

Because there are many people participating in the shares of this coal mine, it is a little more troublesome to calculate.

Huang Yuanxiang was a little curious about how much money he could get in dividends.

So he picked up an account book next to him and flipped through it casually.

Soon, he found the name of Yue Wang Li Tai.

Li Tai holds [-]% of the shares.

The half-year dividend is...

Suddenly, Huang Yuanxiang's eyes widened.

Unbelievable face!

He confirmed again and again, seeing the number on it, it turned out to be 15 guan.

Half a year!

15 guan?

Oh my god!

This is the cost of King Yue for many years.

Although Li Tai was favored and often rewarded, the rewards from His Majesty Li Er were all gold and silver. They said it was gold and silver, but in fact it was copper coated with gold.

And Huang Yuanxiang has assisted Li Tai for many years, knowing that Li Tai has not established a family yet, so his annual income is only [-] to [-] guan.

Now, earning 15 guan in half a year?

Gee...

That's a lot of money!

For Huang Yuanxiang, who was born in poverty, this was a huge sum of money.

He looked at the number and suddenly fell into deep thought.

The more Huang Yuanxiang thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple.

correct!

Your Highness must not do this simply to make money.

It must be to make money and accumulate strength.

That's right!

That's it!

It turns out that His Highness has plans of his own.

You can earn 15 Guan in half a year.

Within two years, he would definitely be able to earn 50 guan.

If you have 50 guan, then you can easily arm a large army.

With money, when the time comes, it can also be used to buy people's hearts.

Also, His Highness is the chief engineer of this coal mine. When the time comes, as long as the news is released, it will be said that His Highness made the coal.

Everyone in the world should be grateful to His Highness.

People, money!

As long as these two things are in place, why worry about a big event?

Huang Yuanxiang became more and more excited as he thought about it.

"Oh, it seems that I misunderstood Your Highness!"

"It turns out that His Highness has already been planning!"

"I also misunderstood Chen Chu!"

"Before, I thought it was Chen Chu who bewitched His Highness to dig coal. Now, it seems that Chen Chu has already joined His Highness. He did all this to help His Highness achieve great things!"

Huang Yuan could not stop murmuring in his mouth.

Snapped.

At this moment, a hand patted his shoulder.

Huang Yuanxiang said angrily: "Who dares to fight with me..."

He is Li Tai's counselor, he is also a teacher and friend with Li Tai, and he has an official status. Many people in the court are very polite to him.

But in this coal mine, it is unreasonable for someone to dare to shoot himself!

……

Chapter 299

Huang Yuanxiang was furious. When he turned his head, he saw that the person who patted his shoulder was Chen Chu.

Huang Yuanxiang, who was about to explode, immediately showed a smiling face.

"Oh, so it's Chen Concubine... It's been a long time since I saw you, and your complexion is getting better." Huang Yuanxiang warmly greeted Chen Chu.

Originally, he could not understand Chen Chu.

After all, he thought that Chen Chu was harming Li Tai.

But now that he figured out the key point, Huang Yuanxiang felt that Chen Chu was very cute.

Such a good boy.

In the blink of an eye, he helped His Royal Highness King Yue earn 15 Guan.

This kind of talent is rare in Datang.

He praised: "Chen Concubine, Your Highness got you, just like Liu Bang met Xiao He, and Liu Bei met Zhuge Kongming!"

"Chen Consort, you are a first-class talent!"

Chen Chu had goose bumps all over his body.

Looking at the guy in front of him curiously, he asked the person next to him, "Who is this guy?"

The old man said: "Boss, he was sent by His Highness the King of Yue to help me to calculate the accounts. Master Huang's arithmetic is still very good... During this time, he has helped us a lot!"

It turned out to be a reckoning.

Chen Chu was speechless for a moment.

An accountant, what are you getting close to me?

He straightened his face and said: "Then why are you still in a daze, hurry up and check the accounts... By the way, first calculate the [-]% shares of the prince and the king of Yue, and send someone to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Send it to the palace?

Huang Yuanxiang was taken aback.

No!

If it is sent to the palace, it will be exposed.

He shook his head and said: "Chen Concubine, no, absolutely no, now, His Royal Highness is sensitive, this money must not enter the palace, otherwise it will be impeached by someone with a heart, in my opinion, it is better to put the money first." In Meishan, it’s best to take care of it and take it out when it’s needed in the future, that’s the safest way!”

Huang Yuanxiang talked eloquently.

Looking back, he saw Chen Chu staring at him with wide eyes, feeling proud.

Even Chen Chu admired me!

Chen Chu was surprised: "Are you an idiot?"

What?

Huang Yuanxiang didn't understand, and asked, "Chen Concubine, you... are you complimenting me?"

Chen Chu couldn't bear it anymore, and said speechlessly: "Where did Qingque find such a crazy person, come here, drive him out, don't allow him to come in, you are so godly, your uncle, get out..."

Huang Yuanxiang understood this time: "Chen Concubine, you, how can you curse people, oh, don't touch me..."

Two guards stepped forward and dragged him away.

Only then did Chen Chu say to Cheng Chubi who was following him: "Chubi, tomorrow morning, you first transport the dividends of the crown prince and the king of Yue into the palace, and hand them over to the inner treasury..."

"Uncle, isn't this the dividend of the crown prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yue? How could it be handed over to the inner treasury?" Cheng Chubi was also a little confused.

Chen Chu said: "What do you know? Although the shares belong to the Crown Prince and the King of Yue, according to the order of the Emperor Father, it will be temporarily kept by the internal treasury..."

"Understood, Uncle, His Majesty wants to take over by force!"

"...That's it!"

It's not the first time Li Er has done this kind of thing by force.

He forcibly occupied Li Jiancheng's seat and Li Jiancheng's wife.

Then he took Li Yuan's seat again.

It's nothing to usurp the dividends of the two sons now.

……

But Huang Yuanxiang, who was hiding at the door, heard Chen Chu's words clearly.
