Chapter 247 Li Er is jealous and wants half of the profit

Xu Jingzong returned to the Shaofu treasury and ordered the eunuchs to pack up the mountains of gold and silver and transport them to the Ganlu Hall.

Datang Xungui likes to use gold and silver when buying things, but Kaiyuan Tongbao rarely uses them!
Datang's Kaiyuan Tongbao has always been worth 65 catties.

It costs ten pennies to buy a piece of sulfur soap, 650 catties!

It is unrealistic to use Kaiyuan Tongbao to buy soap!
It is even more expensive to buy rose soap, which is a hundred sticks and weighs [-] catties!
Cheng Yaojin and the others tactfully went home after getting the sulfur soap.

As for those officials who were not eligible for Li Er's reward, they didn't dare to mess around in the Shaofu, so they had to return home.

This time, the Shaofu prepared a hundred carriages in order to hold [-] guan of gold and silver!

Each carriage contained at least 400 taels worth of gold and silver!
When a hundred horse-drawn carriages drove into the harem of Taiji Palace, they immediately attracted people's attention.

For the first time in the history of the Tang Dynasty, so much money was brought into the palace!
Half an hour later, a hundred carriages were neatly parked in Ganlu Hall!

Boxes containing gold and silver bricks were piled up in the Manna Hall.

The gold shone under the light, and the Ganlu Hall was instantly resplendent and magnificent, which was very shocking.

"Your Majesty, here is a total of [-] guan worth of gold and silver, and the other [-] guan have been put into Shaofu's warehouse!"

Xu Jingzong accompanied Wang Gonggong to complete the inventory, and only dared to report to Li Er when he was sure there were no problems.

Li Er stared at the mountain of gold in front of him, and sighed: "The soap invented by Yuchihuan is a profiteering product, so much so that I want to sell the rose soap in the Temple of Ganlu!"

"Your Majesty, this money was used by Yuchihuan to help the victims of the disaster in Zhongzhou!"

Empress Changsun was worried that Li Er would steal Yuchi Huan's money, so she had to remind Li Er!

Li Er shook his sleeves and said, "In the more than 400 prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, only one million guan is handed over to the imperial court every year. How can Zhongzhou use [-] guan to fight drought and disaster relief?"

"What Your Majesty said is true!"

Empress Changsun knew that Li Er was right, so she also felt that Yuchihuan didn't need so much money to help the victims of the disaster in Zhongzhou.

"Your Majesty, I have to leave!" Xu Jingzong saw that Li Er was thinking about the money and wanted to run away.

After all, Xu Jingzong is now a minister supported by Yu Chihuan, so he needs to avoid suspicion.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Xu Jingzong, you go!"

"Yes!" Xu Jingzong felt relieved and quickly fled the Ganlu Hall.

However, the carriages carrying gold and silver were still left at the gate of Ganlu Hall, under the control of eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, the proceeds from the sale of these soaps need to be handed over to Chang Shan!" Empress Changsun reminded Li Er again.

Li Er thought for a moment and said: "Queen, Chang Shan is young, let us take care of her money!"

"Your Majesty, don't you want to take all this money for yourself?" Empress Changsun said with a pale face, "Your Majesty, you can't stand without faith!"

"Queen, don't worry, I won't treat her badly!"

Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Wang Gonggong waited in Ganlu Hall with a sad face, and he was also waiting for Li Er's order!

Without Li Er's will, the prince would not dare to move the mountain of gold and silver in front of him.

Li Er is like a miser now, who dares to take a penny from him, he will do his best!

"According to my will, from today onwards, Shaofu will take [-]% of the profit from the sale of this soap, and Changle Palace will take [-]% of the profit!"

In the end, Li Er still did not dare to monopolize the soap profits.

However, Changle Palace is under the jurisdiction of Empress Changsun, so the [-]% of Changle Palace actually belongs to Li Er!
"Your Majesty is wise!" Empress Changsun also raised her hand in support of Li Er's will.

"Slave obeys the decree!" The prince immediately drew up the decree, and then ordered the eunuch to divide the [-] guan gold and silver into two and transport them to Yeting Palace and Changle Palace respectively!
The Shaofu was just the government office that helped Li Er manage shops and farms.

The one who really controls the royal money is Yeting Palace!
And Empress Changsun is the master of Yeting Palace!
The Changle Palace, including Princess Changshan, is also under the jurisdiction of Empress Changsun!
Therefore, these gold and silver belong to Empress Changsun from now on.

Li Er then concentrated on monitoring the eunuch's distribution of gold and silver!Empress Changsun joined in the fun.

An hour later, all the gold and silver in the Ganlu Palace were transported away.

"Unexpectedly, I criticize my courtiers for not taking advantage of money every day, and I am also tricked!" Li Er didn't think about himself until the eunuch transported the gold and silver away!
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty now needs money to relieve disasters everywhere, and you are doing this to relieve the country's worries!" Empress Changsun immediately comforted Li Er.

"What the queen said is true. I have no selfish intentions. The gold and silver are ultimately used to help the victims of the disaster!"

Li Er smiled openly, and no longer blamed himself!
Empress Changsun then bid farewell to Li Er and returned to Yeting Palace!
Li Er also returned to the imperial study to correct the memorial.

……

Changle Palace!
When fifty carriages carrying [-] guan of gold and silver arrived at Changle Palace, Princess Changshan was shocked!
"Wow... so 800 yuan soap can be sold for so much money?"

Princess Changshan's eyes were shining, they were full of little stars, and she also got into Qian's eyes.

"Your Highness, this time the Shaofu sold a total of [-] guan, of which [-] guan were enriched in the Shaofu treasury, [-] guan were transported to the Yeting Palace, there are [-] guan here! "

The prince reported the details of the sale of soap to Princess Changshan in an orderly manner.

"The queen mother actually asked for half of Brother Huan's money?"

Princess Changshan was stunned, she never expected that Empress Changsun and Li Er would withhold her husband Yuchihuan's petty money!
"Your Highness, the Empress said that Zhongzhou does not need so much money for disaster relief!"

The prince is also ashamed for Li Er and his wife, but he is Li Er's servant, and it is necessary to protect the master!

"Okay, I won't pursue this matter anymore!" Princess Changshan accepted it as soon as she saw it, and didn't continue to chat with the prince.

"His Royal Highness, how much money do you plan to transport to the Zhongzhou Governor's Mansion?" the prince asked curiously about Princess Changshan.

Princess Changshan replied without hesitation: "Brother Huan needs a lot of money in Zhongzhou. Of course, I will do my best to support him. All the money will be shipped to Zhongzhou!"

"Your Highness, are you sure you don't want to leave some money in Changle Palace?"

The prince was dumbfounded, it was the first time he saw someone treat money like dung!
Even Li Er, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, couldn't do it!
"What's the matter? Could it be that this palace can't even be the master?"

Princess Changshan is still angry with Li Er and Empress Changsun. After all, Yuchihuan's money is also her small money!

"I don't dare!" The prince bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will ask Your Majesty for instructions!"

"Well, you can go and ask your father!" Princess Changshan immediately sent the prince away.

"Slave, please retire!" As if the prince had received the amnesty, he immediately hurriedly left Changle Palace.

Princess Changshan then ordered the eunuchs to move the gold and silver on the carriage into the silver treasury of Changle Palace.

Soon, Wang Gonggong returned to Ganlu Hall and told Li Er about Princess Changshan's main transport of [-] guan to Zhongzhou Dudu's Mansion!
Li Er was silent for a moment, because the money had already exceeded the annual tax paid by Zhongzhou to the imperial court by several times!
But Li Er is a wise gentleman, so naturally he wouldn't intentionally make things difficult for Yuchihuan!
"According to my will, tomorrow I will send the Imperial Forest Army to escort the [-] pieces of the Changle Palace to the Zhongzhou Dudu's Mansion!"

Li Er heaved a sigh of relief after speaking, he also needed a lot of determination to make this decision.

"Slave obeys the decree!" The prince rushed to Changle Palace non-stop to announce the decree.

When Princess Changshan learned that Li Er agreed with her idea, she immediately smiled and stopped complaining about Li Er.

The joy of children is so simple.

Wang Gonggong then went to inform Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun smiled sweetly after listening to the report of the prince, "Your Majesty has finally escaped from the eyes of money. This is the blessing of all people in the world!"

That night, the Imperial Forest Army went to Changle Palace to seize the money, and it was loaded and transported to Zhongzhou early tomorrow morning.
