He looked horrified.
what!
His Highness's dividends will be handed over to the inner treasury for safekeeping.
Once it enters the internal treasury, the money will definitely not come back.
Never come back.
Then how do you do big things?
Huang Yuanxiang panicked immediately.
not good!
I'm afraid His Highness is still kept in the dark.
Oh, I must go and tell Your Highness.
Thinking, Huang Yuan rushed towards the coal washing area of the coal mine.
"Whoosh..."
"Hoo hoo, ha ha..."
"Your Highness, I finally found you!"
On a hill in the coal washing area, Huang Yuanxiang panted with his mouth wide open like a dog, and said to Li Tai.
Li Tai turned his head and said in surprise, "Master Huang, why are you acting like this?"
Huang Yuan said excitedly: "Your Highness, something is wrong. Just now, I met Chen Chu in the administrative building, and accidentally found out a big secret..."
Li Tai asked curiously, "What secret?"
Huang Yuanxiang said: "It's about the dividends. I heard Chen Chu personally say that tomorrow morning, His Highness's dividends will be sent to the palace and handed over to the inner treasury. I heard that this is His Majesty's order. Your Majesty will help you." Keep the dividends with the prince. Your Highness, this money cannot be handed over to the inner treasury. Once it is in the inner treasury, it will be difficult to get it back in the future. Besides, this money is also useful for us, and can be used to buy people's hearts. ...Your Highness, you should go to Chen Chu and make it clear, after tomorrow morning, it will be too late to regret it!"
He was anxious and excited.
Li Tai was indifferent.
"Oh, this king knows!"
Li Tai just said something lightly, and then he didn't continue.
Huang Yuanxiang was stunned.
what's going on.
Lost 15 coins, such a large sum of money, why does His Highness seem not nervous at all?
He asked: "Your Highness, you...don't you know that this money is very important to us?"
Li Tai waved his hand: "Master Huang, you are tired, go back and rest quickly, I still have important things to do, don't follow me, you are old, be careful not to fall..."
After all, Li Tai left without turning his head.
Huang Yuanxiang was stunned, and he stomped his feet angrily.
Little did he know that the mound under his feet was made of coal.
As soon as he stepped down, the mound loosened.
Crash.
The mound collapsed.
Huang Yuanxiang was buried in the coal, but fortunately the workers around saw him, and everyone came forward one after another to dig Huang Yuanxiang out.
But this guy is already in a coma.
When Li Tai heard the news, he ordered Huang Yuanxiang to be sent back to Chang'an for medical treatment.
……
late at night.
yard.
Li Tai sat at the table with a wine jar in front of him.
He was drinking alone.
creak.
The door was pushed open.
Chen Chu walked in.
Seeing Li Tai, a little kid, drinking by himself under the moonlight, he wanted to go up and slap him.
I was underage, so I started to drink alcohol.
Li Tai turned his head and waved at Chen Chu: "Chen Chu, come quickly, have a drink with me..."
Chen Chu stepped forward, sat down, frowned, and suddenly threw the wine jar on the table out of the yard.
Li Tai's eyes widened: "You...what are you doing?"
Chen Chu asked, "Because of the dividend?"
Li Tai thought for a while, nodded, and then shook his head again: "Yes, no... The 15 guan was taken away by the emperor. I should be very angry, but when I think that the emperor also took the prince's dividend After leaving, I feel very happy... Now, I just can't figure it out. Since I can remember, the people around me have said that I don't need to be inferior to the prince. When I grow up, they let me study, practice martial arts, and study. Govern the country, win people's hearts, let me compete with the prince, so that I can win the prince's position in the future... I used to think so, but now, I... I suddenly don't want to do this, but I, I don't know me, hiccup, I don't know what to do..."
……
Chapter 300
The current Li Tai is no longer the high and mighty King of Yue.
But a confused teenager.
Chen Chu looked at the young man in front of him, and asked, "You mean, actually, you don't want to participate in the fight for the crown prince?"
Li Tai smiled wryly: "I did think about it before, but since I came to Meishan, I suddenly discovered that there are more interesting things in this world than being a prince. What's so good about being a prince? I'm either in the East Palace or going to the Ganlu Palace all day long." Listening to my father's words, it's good to be in Meishan, free and easy, everyone respects me, because I took them to dig coal, those workers are grateful to me, after a long time, they no longer regard me as an unapproachable king of Yue, you You know, a few days ago, there was another worker who invited me to his house for a wedding. His child was born, and he gave birth to a fat man. Originally, the child wanted to recognize me as a godfather, but unfortunately Huang Yuan told him Mixed up..."
Chen Chu laughed, and said with a smile, "Since you've let go, why worry?"
Judging from Li Tai drinking alone, this kid is very sad.
Li Tai shook his head: "You don't understand, I don't want to compete for the crown prince, but someone wants to persuade me, let's not talk about it, just say Huang Yuanxiang, he is like a piece of cowhide, pestering me all day long, asking me to leave Coal Mountain..."
Chen Chu chuckled: "Qingque, if you can leave Chang'an, will you be able to get rid of these difficult guys?"
Li Tai nodded, then shook his head again: "That's right, but it's very difficult. I dare not leave Chang'an without my father's order."
Snapped.
Chen Chu patted the table: "Since you are willing, then this matter will be easy to handle... I plan to establish a Western Datang Company, which will be responsible for buying cotton in Tubo area, and you are the most suitable candidate."
"What is cotton?" Li Tai was taken aback.
Chen Chu waved his hand: "I didn't bring a sample now, so you just said that you would like to do it? If this thing is done, not only can you make countless money, but it can also completely merge Tubo into the Tang Dynasty. Now, the credit has been given, how about it, aren't you excited?"
Li Tai's eyes widened: "As long as I agree to you, will my father allow me to leave Chang'an?"
"Pretty sure."
After all, Li Er knew all about the plan to destroy Tubo.
Li Tai patted the table, stood up, and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Chen Chu got up and said, "Since that's the case, you should rest well today, and come to Nanshan mansion to find me tomorrow morning..."
"it is good!"
Li Ke hastily agreed.
……
late at night.
Changsun Wuji drank alone in the study in the backyard of Duke Qi's mansion.
At this time, the butler came in and said, "Master, someone is visiting."
boom.
Changsun Wuji slammed the wine bottle down on the table, angrily said: "No see!"
The housekeeper added: "Master, it is Chen Chu who is here."
"Chen Chu?"
"Damn it, he dares to come to see the old man?"
"The old man can't wait to kill him!"
"If it wasn't for his nonsense plan, wouldn't the old man even dare to leave the gate now?"
"No reason!"
"Let him go quickly, otherwise, don't blame the old man for being rude to him!"
Changsun Wuji was very angry.
A voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Brother Changsun, this is not how you treat guests. I have already arrived at the door, and you still want to drive me away? We are also considered friends, and even more in-laws. This is how you treat the old man." Is it from a friend?"
Before the words finished, Chen Chu walked in.
Changsun Wuji stared, "Chen Chu, do you still have the face?"
"The old man's current predicament is all thanks to you!"
"Get out of here!"
Changsun Wuji scolded.
Chen Chu waved to the butler next to him.
The butler stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Chen Concubine, you can persuade our master, it has been a month, and he has locked himself in the study all day long to drink, it is not an option to continue like this..."
Chen Chu nodded.
The butler leaves.
Chen Chu turned around and closed the door of the study.
Changsun Wuji sneered and said, "If you still dare to close the door, aren't you afraid that the old man will chop you up?"
Chen Chu went to sit down opposite Changsun Wuji, and said indifferently, "You can't beat me, and ten more can't beat me..."
Changsun Wuji: "..."
He snorted angrily, "The old man knows you, what a disaster!"
Chen Chu smiled and said: "Brother Changsun, are you still worried about the peace negotiation? Let me tell you, those guys in the court are scolding you now because they are short-sighted. When the truth comes out in the future, the credit will be yours ..."
"Credit? Shit credit, I just pray that no one will scold me again." Changsun Wuji said angrily, "Tell me, are you here to laugh at this old man?"
Anyway, Changsun Wuji didn't like Chen Chu no matter what he thought of him now.
He hated Chen Chu in his heart.
Chen Chu shook his head: "No, I'm here to help you..."
"Help me? How?"
Chen Chu said: "Brother Changsun, do you still remember the cotton plan I told you at the beginning? Now, I have received a letter from Tubo Prime Minister Zuo Menduo, who told me that he has organized his tribe to buy a large amount of cotton in Tubo. Cotton, let me send someone to transport it as soon as possible, it is really impossible, he can also send someone to Chang'an, so it seems that the profit of this cotton is quite large."
Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows: "You still have the nerve to say, back then, the old man gave you thousands of acres of land, just for this news, and you still didn't say anything."
"Cough cough!"
Chen Chu was a little embarrassed.
Said: "At the beginning, it was for the sake of keeping secrets, but now I don't have such worries..."
Changsun Wuji wondered: "Accordingly, it's easy to let Mendo transport the cotton to Chang'an, why bother to transport it to Tubo?"
Chen Chu waved his hand: "Our purpose is not only to make money, but also to plan for the future. Naturally, Mendo cannot be allowed to take the initiative... I have already discussed this matter with the King of Yue. He is willing to go to the Western Regions to lead this matter. I plan to establish A West Datang company specializes in this cotton business, I wonder if you are interested?"
Changsun Wuji was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Can you make money?"
Chen Chu chuckled, took out a robe from behind, threw it to Changsun Wuji, and said, "Brother Changsun, let's take a look at the texture of this dress first?"
Changsun Wuji took it over, stroked it carefully, looked at it in front of his eyes, and even smelled it with his nose.
