The words of the inner courtyard caused Li Longji to temporarily give up the intention of continuing to let Zhang Xiaobao think about helping others build houses and roads, and stop the inner courtyard that he turned around to return.
"How much do they need?"
"My Majesty, I don’t know how much money is needed. The little princes and little ladies want to borrow three million guanxis. Adding all their things together, the normal valuation is about six million guanxi. Because of the added value of jewelry processing technology and treasures. There are uncertainties about the brand of Candy House, so it can loan up to half of the total value, 3 million guan."
The inner courtyard replied, as soon as he talked about Beckham and others, a doting smile appeared on the inner courtyard's face.
Li Longji waved his hand, and the inner courtyard retreated.
"Xiaobao, send a report and ask Xiaobei to see what they are going to do?" Li Longji came to be interested and urged.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head: "Don't ask, since they don't care about asking for money at home, it means that they want to do things on their own merits. It is normal for Datang Bank to reject their loan application. Let's see what else they can think of."
"If possible, I would like to give them three million pennies, just a little money. It seems that it is too difficult for Xiaobei and the others to use their own things as a mortgage."
Li Longji looked distressed. Three million words were so casually spoken from his mouth. Ten years ago, he was absolutely not so emboldened.
"Xiaobei and the others can't ask for our money. They finally go out once, and if they are free, if they want to do something, then let them try it. The big deal is to do a bad job and lose some money. For them, they can get the harvest of life. Is the most important."
While talking, Zhang Xiaobao had put red charcoal in the grill, and the outside was still misty and rainy. The contrast between the two compartments made it look very comfortable under the umbrella.
Li Longji smiled and shook his head, took the bamboo stick and cut the belly of a prawn that was still alive, took out the internal organs, put it on, and put it on the shelf, then put on the other one, and said, "In recent years , I have lived a relatively happy life. I used to have intrigue with the courtiers, and the palace was unstable.
There are also neighboring countries, the foreign ethnic groups in northern Hebei Province. The only thing that can be said to be better is the national treasury. It appears to be ample. If it weren’t for the lives of the people now and how you and Juanjuan would describe the future situation to me, then I thought it was big. The people of Tang are already very well.
Thanks to you and the cuckoo, you have your influence, I don’t have to worry about my courtiers being unruly, and forgiving them that they won’t be able to topple the sky, so life is enjoyment, not distress. It goes down to the people and up to me, the emperor. Who will pay? Nothing to worry about? Thinking about it all day, no longer alive. "
Zhang Xiaobao squeezed the handle of the brush and brushed the shrimp with salt water. The shrimp would be eaten like this. If Li Longji's mouth is not heavy, he would not even need to brush the salt water.
Listening to Li Longji's emotions, he kept moving his hands, and then said: "No one in power can solve all the troubles of the people under the rule, but at least they must not worry about survival and do this. Point, even if it is successful, it is difficult anyway."
"Yes, it's difficult, no matter how difficult it is, I have to do it, Xiaobao, where did I just say?" Li Longji nodded lightly, flipping the bamboo stick in his hand, and suddenly asked.
"Said that life is going well."
"Not this sentence, front."
"Give Beckham money."
"Ahead."
"Let me eat."
"Following."
"Give them money to Beckham."
"Let’s eat shrimp, I’ll cook it for you by myself. It’s best to show something when you eat it, right?"
"Yes, thank you Majesty, the minister is grateful."
"Be faithful."
"The minister's loyalty to Datang can be learned from the sun and the moon, and he is more willing to protect your majesty's stability."
"Next time you put me in the front, you won't talk about going through water and fire without hesitation?"
"After that, I'm going to build a house for someone else."
"Well, drinking, it's really the rain outside the umbrella, the water is gurgling, the grilled shrimps and the wine is dry. The pontoon bridge traffic is the world, and the people's livelihood is like the heart of the furnace." Li Longji toasted.
"Fuck!" Zhang Xiaobao raised his head and drank it, grabbed the bottle and poured a glass for Li Longji and himself, and then toasted: "Cake a glass, the geese flew south and returned, and another glass, the people do their own housework. The superior should do it. The superiors, who do you know about repairing bridges and repairing roads?"
"Heh! Have you talked to me about the great principles? You are a superior person and don't want to do small things. Who do you know? Tell me, who do you tell me to do?"
Li Longji looked at Zhang Xiaobao, took the shrimp Zhang Xiaobao handed over, took a bite, nodded, indicating that it tasted good, and toasted a glass of wine together, saying: "Change the rice wine, I see you and the cuckoo drink wine, not a cup of dry glass. , Now keep toasting, awkward."
Zhang Xiaobao turned his head and shouted "cooking wine" to the inner courtyard a dozen steps away. Turning around, he picked up a shrimp, took a small bite, chewed slowly, and said to Li Longji:
"We said some time ago that we must allow local wealthy families and squires to be qualified to participate in local administrative promotion, and then be selected at various levels, and finally come to the capital. Why not let them do it?"
"Yes, I have forgotten. When I finish eating, I will make an order immediately. It was difficult for you before. It is not easy for your family to buy and sell in the county. How can you pay attention to the household affairs in the village? Local affairs are done by the local authorities, and then Report it to the county and be reviewed by the county government. Only then can your family use it to help secretly verify it."
Li Longji patted with both hands, looking very happy, fished out the live shrimp and continued processing.
Zhang Xiaobao curled his mouth, picked up the charcoal clip, and scraped the white charcoal ash on the charcoal surface. Knowing that if he didn't say a way, Li Longji would not stop harassing himself and accompany an emperor who was looking for troubles all day for dinner. Is it easy
"Little treasure, do you think it’s easy for me to have a meal with you? I have to work for you at the risk of the wind and chill, just to make you happy so that I can take a stroll with me. When we come back, Let’s go all over land, how about?"
Before Zhang Xiaobao could say his complaint, Li Longji complained first.
Zhang Xiaobao was so frightened by the meaning of Li Longji’s words that he couldn’t move his hands. Until he felt the temperature of the charcoal fire, he suddenly withdrew his hands. Turn Jiangnanxi Road to Luzhou once by land, and you will know what's going on when you walk around."
"Then try." Li Long said in a weak tone.
At this time, the inner courtyard has placed the red clay stove and the wine jar with a mud seal. The wine inside is naturally Shaoxing rice wine. It was not bought, but was given by the merchants who cooperated with Zhang Wang and his family. I have to send a lot every year.
Zhang Xiaobao prefers to drink wine. He almost drank yellow wine occasionally. Most of it was used for cooking. He poured it into the pot after he had stored it in a cellar.
Wine is just wine, pure wine, even if it is boiled, no other things are added. Like tea, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not used to adding ginger, sugar, and salt to them.
Li Longji watched Zhang Xiaobao fiddle with the small stove and wine, and suddenly said: "I knew I would eat shrimp, let you make drunk shrimp, now... it's too late."
Zhang Xiaobao nodded, boiled the wine, and said, "As soon as someone will catch two fish, we will set off quickly when the boat is gathered in the afternoon."
…
In the cabin, Wang Juan accompanied Concubine Wu Hui and the Queen to speak.
Concubine Wu Hui asked more about where the business shop in Wang Juan's house was, how to arrange the manpower, what happened in the process of perfecting the system, and she planned to develop in this direction.
Queen Wang was talking about children. She asked Xiaobei and others where they were recently and if there was any news about her son and daughter.
Wang Juan responded freely, saying that he could bring the children's affairs with him when he bought and sold his own house. The three of them had a very happy conversation.
Similarly, Wang Juan also received news from his home that Xiaobei and others went to the loan to be rejected.
"The management of Datang Bank is too hateful. Can Xiaobei still rely on them? Let Xiaobao take care of the people. Xiaobei's things don't say three million yuan, and the price is 30 million. How many people are rushing to buy it. "
Queen Wang was dissatisfied with the news and reported the injustice for Xiaobei and others.
Concubine Wu Hui very much agreed with the bank’s approach and said, “Sister, don’t blame the local bank for being in charge. She agreed to the loan from Beckham and the others today. Tomorrow other children stole things from the house and exchanged it for money. Will you give it to me?”
"Xiaobei and the others are different from other children, Juanjuan, what do you say Xiaobei and the others want money for?" Queen Wang suddenly thought of this question. Three million guanxi is not a small sum.
Wang Juan shook his head: "I don't know. Since the younger brothers and sisters don't care about asking for money in the family, they naturally have their own plans. Let them go. The family raises the children. When it is time to let go, let it go. If you do it right, the credit goes to the child, and you do it wrong. Now, it's the family's training expenses.
This is the difference between the children of the aristocracy and the children of ordinary people. The children of the aristocracy have enough resources for them to try. As long as they are not too stupid, they will often be far away from the children of ordinary people. "
Queen Wang and Concubine Wu Hui nodded, then immediately shook their heads at the same time.
Concubine Wu Hui said: "It depends on who you are compared with. Compared with you and Xiaobao, the children of the family will be overshadowed. You have learned too much."
"This is the power of education, and its purpose is to allow a small group of ordinary children to work hard to narrow the distance with the children of the family. Since there are not enough resources to gain experience through practical actions like the children of the family, then I learned it indirectly from books."
Wang Juan mentioned the importance of education.
"Isn't it? We should educate our children well. The children of Datang are better than those of other places. There are a few more Beckhams and others. In the future, which country will dare to refuse?"
The words of the Queen and Queen are still so aggressive.
"Little lady." The maid opened a little hatch from the outside, poked her head and whispered.
"What?" Wang Juan asked.
"The news is coming, Xiaobei and the others, they did not get the loan, so they immediately contacted the people in the branches of other large commercial banks in Xuzhou. Up to now, intelligence shows that they have reached an agreement with three large commercial banks. The firm agreed to support five million yuan in cash, and four other branches of the firm are requesting instructions from their owners by telegram."
The maid replied.
Wang Juan was stunned, and after a few breaths, he laughed again: "Five million coins? Or for now? It is worthy of being the younger brothers and sisters of Xiaobao and I. It seems that I have made a lot of preparations and have Xiaobao's demeanor. Did not lose fame."
