Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

So what am I?

Are you being taken advantage of?

Li Er said with a smile: "It seems that this inkstone is still very useful. It saved a poor family, saved a businessman's business, and made a marriage. It's not in vain!"

Wei Zheng couldn't help standing up suddenly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I understand, this is what Your Majesty said, the wool comes from the dog, and a small inkstone has so many uses, and this wool, finally came from the dog. Lu Guogong."

Everyone suddenly realized!

This sentence is so apt.

But Cheng Yaojin was not happy anymore, he pondered for a long time before he figured out the meaning of this sentence, and immediately pointed at Wei Zheng and cursed: "Wei Zheng, who the hell are you calling a dog?"

Wei Zheng chuckled: "Whoever is stupid is a dog!"

"No reason!"

Cheng Yaojin rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight.

Li Er patted the table and said: "Okay, Zhi Jie, this matter is an experiment I did to prove this truth."

"Humph!"

Cheng Yaojin waved his fist at Wei Zheng, and sat down indignantly.

Only then did Li Er ask seriously: "My dear friends, you have also seen that the wool comes out of the dog, that is the same thing, but who of you can explain the reason behind it, I will tell you, I will tell you the truth." I heard it from other places, I thought about it for a few days, but I have no clue."

The more Li Er thought about this sentence, the more inscrutable he felt, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of the reason behind it, and he was too embarrassed to ask Chen Chu, so he summoned the important officials in the court and told everyone in person Demonstrate it once, thinking that someone can solve the puzzle.

But who knew, all the smart people present were stupefied.

Nobody has an answer.

As for Cheng Yaojin, who was involved twice, he still doesn't know what happened. He only knows that he lost tens of thousands of pennies and became a dog.

Li Erxin was very disappointed!

My minister of civil and military affairs is actually not as good as a countryman?

……

(Everyone, please recommend tickets!)

Chapter 12 Li Er: I'm Too Poor

Li Er returned to Yanjia Palace with a heavy heart.

He was thinking about the saying that wool comes from dogs all the way, and he was fascinated unconsciously.

Empress Changsun personally waited on him to bathe and change clothes.

Li Eryi turned his head and saw Empress Changsun wearing a long skirt with a few patches on her shoulders.

He was surprised and said: "Guanyin maidservant, you are the master of the harem, why do you wear patched clothes?"

Changsun Huang said helplessly: "Second brother, the money in the inner treasury is almost gone."

what?

Li Er was a little dumbfounded.

The internal treasury is Li Er's own small treasury.

Every year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocates a part of the money turned in from various places, which is used for the expenses of various activities of the royal family and the expenses of the harem.

Empress Changsun is the head of the harem and has always been in charge of the finances of the inner treasury.

In previous years, the internal treasury will also be short-lived, but it will not be until after October.

It's only May this year, and it's almost empty?

Li Er couldn't help being surprised.

Empress Changsun explained: "Did the second brother forget that since this year, you have used the money from the internal treasury to reward ministers, princes and princesses arbitrarily? A sum of money was used for disaster relief, even if there are ten internal treasuries, it is still not enough for you to squander!"

In the words, there is still a bit of sadness.

It's easy for me to be in charge of the internal library!

Li Er couldn't help frowning.

He waved his hand and said, "Guanyin maidservant, give me some time, and I will find a way to get some more money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

……

Two days passed.

Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, met Li Er in Ganlu Hall.

Dai Zhou said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already made a rough calculation. After converting the land and houses, etc., the rich and powerful families account for [-]% of the world's wealth, the imperial court accounts for [-]%, and the rest account for [-]%."

wow.

Hearing this, Li Er violently overturned everything on the table to the ground.

A crazy smile appeared on his face: "The aristocratic family accounts for [-]%, and the court only accounts for [-]%?"

Dai Zhou explained: "Your Majesty, time is short, this result may not be accurate, but it is generally not wrong."

Li Er suddenly thought of Chen Chu's mean face.

"What Chen Chu said is true. In the future, the poor will only get poorer and the rich will get richer!"

Dai Zhou asked curiously, "Your Majesty, who is Chen Chu?"

Li Er came to his senses, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Chen Chu? Did I say Chen Chu? You heard wrong, Dai Aiqing, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Seeing Li Er's smiling smile, Dai Zhou said with trepidation, "Please order, Your Majesty!"

Li Er said: "My internal treasury has already run out of money, and the harem will soon be unsustainable. I plan to transfer a sum of money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the internal treasury. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Dai Zhou's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not... At the end of each year, taxes from all over the country are transported to Chang'an, and courtiers allocate a sum of money and grain to the inner treasury according to the tax revenue. , Now, His Majesty wants to allocate money again in the middle of the year, I am afraid that it will attract opposition from the courtiers... Furthermore, the severe drought in Guanzhong at the beginning of the year, and now the floods in Henan and Hebei, the money and food from the Ministry of Civil Affairs have been spent like running water, and they can no longer hold on It's..."

Li Er looked depressed.

He wanted to fool Dai Zhou, but he didn't expect Dai Zhou to cry poor instead.

Li Er waved his hand a little angrily: "Go down first."

"Yes!"

Dai Zhou left with a heavy heart.

Sitting behind the table, Li Er sighed.

Datang is very rich!

And the emperor is poor!

So poor that the internal treasury is almost empty, and the harem is almost overwhelmed.

Even my queen is wearing patched clothes!

He doesn't blame Dai Zhou.

Because the imperial court was indeed poor.

But money is gathered in the hands of aristocratic families.

Kakaka.

His fist could not help but crackle.

Then, a soreness came.

Li Er was stunned: "Could it be that what Chen Chu said is correct, I am sick?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head again: "Impossible, my body is strong, why did I get sick?"

……

at the same time.

Under Qingfeng Village.

In the thatched cottage by the stream.

Candlelight flickered.

The king of the cottage, Li Changle, looked at Chen Chu with admiration.

"Honey, why are you so good at arithmetic?" Li Changle admired him sincerely.

A husband.

Natural and kind!

The sound is sweet!

Chen Chu's scalp was a little numb, and his whole body was soft and soft!

It turned out that Li Changle had been sorting out the accounts of the cottage these days, but found a mess without a clue.

So, with the mentality of giving it a try, she handed over the account book to Chen Chu.

Unexpectedly, it only took Chen Chu one afternoon to sort out the accounts.

Li Changle was shocked by Chen Chu's calculation!

No matter what the number was, Chen Chu could figure it out with a glance.

Li Changle's real identity is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. She studied poetry, etiquette, and arithmetic in the palace since she was a child.

She felt that even the masters of arithmetic in the palace would not be Chen Chu's opponent.

After a while, after Chen Chu finished the account book, Li Changle asked shyly, "Honey, can you teach me your arithmetic?"

Chen Chu curled her lips and said, "You can't learn it!"

Li Changle said unhappily: "There is no one in the world that this village master can't learn!"

She is a princess!

Smart since childhood!

Even the emperor praised her for being smarter than the present prince.

Little arithmetic, what's the big deal.

Chen Chu said solemnly: "Arithmetic is a subject that is easy to learn but difficult to advance. There is a saying in the industry that if you want to learn it well, you must sleep with the master first. Therefore, you are doomed not to learn it."

What?

Li Changle was taken aback for a moment.

Then his face flushed.

"Bah, Dengzizi!"

"My village master doesn't care to learn it!"

With that, she ran away.

Not long after, Chen Chu was about to blow out the candles and go to sleep when the door was pushed open again.

Li Changle is back!

She looked at Chen Chu pitifully, and said, "Honey, can you teach me your arithmetic?"

Damn!

Chen Chu had goose bumps all over his body.

Normally, in the cottage, Li Changle was a little devil.

If you don't agree with me, beat someone up!

Everyone is afraid of her.

Therefore, despite her young age, she manages the entire cottage in an orderly manner.

But at this moment, Li Changle showed the attitude of a child.

Chen Chu was still a little uncomfortable.

He scratched his head: "Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will reluctantly teach you, anyway, we are a family."
