Happy Little Scholar

The monk was taken away by the guards, and he was afraid that he would not have a good end. Princess Hui was taken away by the Queen, and Concubine Cui followed. The broken pieces of colored glass on the ground were cleaned up, and the tense atmosphere in the hall was restored. People began to pay more attention to colored glassware.

The powerful people began to bid frantically for the few remaining colored glass, and the price soared. Some monks were smiling, and some were full of sorrow. Two of the few colored glass statues were broken. From today on, there are several more temples with colored glass statues. How should other temples deal with themselves, how to attract believers, and how to get incense?

The man surnamed Shen looked at Shen Su and said, "Susu, let's go over there. Your mother and aunt are over there."

Shen Su nodded and said, "Dad, you go first. I'll be there soon."

After his father left, Shen Su turned around, looked at the person behind him, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for what you did just now."

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's my duty."

Then, he said with some doubt, "Do you really not know Shen Shu?"

"That's my brother."

Shen Su nodded and turned away.

"I told you!" Li Xuan's face showed a look of realization.

"Miaoyu, the imperial physician is here. Let's go over there." Chen Chong glanced at Li Xuan and saw an imperial physician with a medical box hurried in from outside. He turned around and helped the third lady of the Chen family to walk forward.

……

……

Li Yi walked out of the back hall with a gloomy expression.

The old emperor's health is getting worse and worse. He is already out of breath after saying a few words. Coupled with his workaholic state, I am afraid he really can't survive even two or three years.

The plan must be made early. After finishing this big deal, start to really plan for the way out. Two-pronged approach, at least there will be one more choice at that time.

When everyone saw him coming out from the back of the hall, his face seemed a little ugly, and his mind was different.

General Xue came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "It's okay, it's just 20,000 or 30,000 silver. Don't tell me that your family is short of this money. It's light to be scolded by His Majesty. If it were me, I'm afraid your butt would be swollen. So much silver was thrown out so easily..."

"Yes, kid, just be happy. His Majesty just scolded you. If it were someone else, I'm afraid his head would be chopped off by now..." General Ma also came over and said.

Li Yi was stunned and said, "The two generals misunderstood. His Majesty didn't scold me just now..."

The old emperor really didn't scold him just now. The two had a detailed discussion on the distribution of the stolen goods. Li Yi finally failed to convince the old emperor not to collect taxes. He was originally a business with no capital. He got hundreds of thousands of taels for nothing. Then he paid 10% tax at 30%. So, almost 10,000 taels of silver were stolen by him...

"Haha, you said you didn't scold me, so I didn't scold you..." The two old generals smiled at each other. Young people are good at saving face. They understand that with His Majesty's stingy personality, he wasted 20,000 or 30,000 taels like this. It would be strange if he didn't scold me...

The head of the Wang family walked past Li Yi. The two looked at each other for a moment, and at the same time, a smile that only the other person could understand appeared on their faces.

General Xue touched his chin and asked in confusion: "You kid, when did you hook up with the Wang family? This is a great god of wealth..."

...

...

"Hmph, it seems that His Majesty has begun to be dissatisfied with him." On the other side, in the corner, someone looked over here and said coldly.

Another person responded: "He is arrogant because of his favor. It is all his own fault to have come to this point today."

"If so, we can add fuel to the fire behind the scenes. When he really loses the emperor's favor..." Someone's face showed an inexplicable smile, "At that time, neither the imperial concubine nor the Cui family and the Qin family will tolerate him."

Li Yi found a random excuse to prevaricate General Xue. When he passed through the hall, he paid a little attention. This time, he was afraid that at least 300,000 taels of silver would be received. No wonder the old emperor looked at him with green eyes just now.

Fortunately, this is an emperor with integrity and bottom line. If it were any other tyrant, I am afraid that he would kill people and rob money.

Walking outside the hall, I saw Li Mingzhu standing there alone.

Hearing the voice behind him, Li Mingzhu turned around, looked at him and said, "Father is not talking to you about the glass statue, right?"

"Princess, you have to work hard..."

Li Yi walked over, patted her shoulder, sighed, and turned away.

Li Mingzhu looked at his back, with a puzzled look on her face...

In the hall, the last glassware had been taken by a nobleman, so far, all the glassware has a new owner.

There are dozens of glassware, including Buddha statues and beads, which can only be used by Buddhists. The nobles can only get a little less than half. Most people just appreciate it today.

The monks did not return with great fun. Only a few temples got what they wanted. More monks began to worry about the incense problem of the temples in the future...

At this moment, the head of the Wang family came out and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. A few days ago, the Wang family just bought a batch of glazed ware from foreign merchants. I wanted to keep it, but saw that Your Majesty had to do it for the sake of the country. , for the sake of the common people, Wang felt deeply ashamed and decided to sell the colored glazes. Half of the proceeds from the sale would be donated to the national treasury. Wang has already asked His Majesty for instructions. Three days later, a ceremony will be held in the Furong Garden. When the glass charity sale comes, I hope everyone will appreciate it..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Although Fanbang is small and remote, it is rich in rare treasures. Everyone knows this.

The Wang family bought a large amount of colored glaze from foreign merchants, and it seemed that the quantity was quite large.

Just now, many people were depressed because they didn't buy glazed wares, but now there was a little hope in their hearts.

If there are still a large number of glazed wares, isn't the chance that I can get them high?

"May I ask Brother Wang, how much colored glaze does the Wang family have?" A middle-aged man stood up and asked.

The head of the Wang family smiled and said, "I will definitely satisfy everyone present."

This explains a lot.

A monk asked: "May I ask if there is a glazed Buddha statue?"

"That country is far overseas, it's a Buddhist country..." The head of the Wang family only said half of what he said.

The faces of countless monks were glowing.

What this sentence means is that there are not only Buddha statues, but also a lot of them...

All merchants in Kyoto know that Fanbang merchants are simply their gods of wealth. The things they bring are precious and the prices are not high. If they are resold, the profit can be ten or even dozens of times.

It's a pity that businessmen from foreign countries are hard to come by. County uncle Li met him once and gave the princess a statue. The Wang family also met them once. It seemed that the harvest was even greater. Although they had to donate half of it to the national treasury, I'm afraid they still have something to gain this time. earn……

They have also been searching for foreign merchants all over Kyoto these days. How come such good things have not happened to them?

Of course, even if it falls on them, they will not throw away hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in vain just to please His Majesty like the Wang family did...

I don’t know since when, a glazed wind blew in Kyoto. Everyone was talking about the fences and roofs, and in the streets and alleys. I heard that three of the thresholds of Hanshan Temple were trampled to pieces in a short period of time...

A temple without a glaze statue is an incomplete temple and cannot attract enough believers. A powerful person without a glassware is not a real powerful person. If you don’t have a few glassware at home, how dare you say you are a powerful person?

Where is the power and where is the value?

Liuli represents identity and luck, and everyone wants it...

Now, the opportunity has come.

The head of the Wang family instantly became the focus of the entire hall, with crowds from three levels inside and three outside surrounding him.

Meal Bureau.

The chef was almost crying: "County Uncle Li, Mr. Li, Dean Li, these dates were ordered by Concubine Cui to make date cake tomorrow!"

"Then leave half for you?" Li Yi thought for a while and said.

Zhang Shan shook his head fiercely: "Seventy percent, no more!"

"Sixty percent. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the eldest princess to ask."

"Come here, please weigh the dates to County Uncle Li quickly..."
