Chapter 39 – Punch Lucky!
“I'm so relieved that Ke'er contributed an amazing strategy, what gift do you want?” This matter was resolved by his son, and Li Shimin's mood was in good order.
Li Ke was about to open his mouth when he suddenly thought of Li Yin. Even though Li Yin said that she only wanted gifts, how could she, as an elder brother, take praise from her younger brother? Look down, "I want to report to my father, this plan has actually been thought up by my younger brother Li Yin, but Li Yin is unable to enter the court, she said, so my son and his minister discussed this plan before offering it!"
"Li Yin?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, “Is that so?”
“I dare not lie to my father. Yesterday, my son left to temporarily stay at Prince Liang's house. He remembered the trouble his father had left behind and said it casually. Who would have thought Li Yin immediately told her son this shocking method.”
Li Shimin was as calm as water, but there was a wave in his heart. He was half-doubtful and half-relieved. He was an emperor and also a father. Li Shimin has made progress, so he is of course happy.
“Because that's the case, I'll put this compliment on Li Min.”'s head Li Shimin looked at the officials, and saw a trace of strangeness on their faces, especially Li Chengqian and Li Tai, with complicated expressions. Among the princes, plus Li Ke, these three princes were always best known to the courtiers, but the fourth prince died young, and the prince after the seventh prince was too young. Now only Li You and Li Yin were left as officials in the court, and these two princes were also the most troublesome Li Shimin, one alongside street gangsters all day, and the rest are completely free.
The problem of standing water in Chang'an was solved. In the morning, Li Shimin discussed some government affairs with officials. After the trial, Li Shimin asked Huangmen's maid, Wang Gui, to go to Liang Wang's mansion to summon Li Yin to the palace.
Wang Gui's arrival slightly startled Li Yin, after asking, she found out what happened in the morning, and Li Yin had to accept the order to enter the palace.
"Have you come up with this idea?" In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin asked Li Yin who was standing next to him as she approved the warning.
Li Ke had already sold it, so Li Min had no choice but to admit, "Yes, father and son just talk casually!"
“Just say it casually? Is it a children's game for you to treat it as a big national event? Li Shimin put down a memorial, “Because you proposed this method, you will overcome the puddles in Chang'an. Tomorrow you will report to the Ministry of Industry and receive workers from the Ministry of Industry. Uiro's official position is dedicated to this issue.”
Li Shimin and Li Yin's tone was entirely the tone of a father who was disciplining his son. Although Li Yin had changed a little, it was difficult to change her long-term image. The trick is to let him do something.
“Dad, but my son still has a lot of treasures to take care of..” said Li Yin, he does not want to stay in the Ministry of Industry all day, he will be bored to death.
Li Shimin naturally understood that Li Yin was a master who could not keep quiet. Thinking that he still had an identity as a businessman, he said: "I just let you take responsibility for the construction of the underground pipeline, and you don't have to take care of other things."
Hearing this, Li Yin sighed in relief and said, “Yes, dad!”
Li Yin agreed with the matter, Li Shimin said: "Father once promised to reward those who settled the puddles in Chang'an, he said, now you and Wang Gui go to the palace treasury to choose the three things you like."
"Yes, dad!" Li Yin said happily, no matter what happens, he still makes money, does not count as a reward, and the member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, is also a fat job.
Leaving the Ganlu Hall, Li Yin followed Wang Gui around several small streets and stopped at a place called Shenlong Temple. This Shenlong Temple is located in an independent courtyard. They were all holding some precious items like corals and glass.
The space in the Dragon Hall was huge, thousands of square meters, and there were many wooden frames. This wooden frame is neatly arranged, and filled with various treasures, red corals, gems, wood carvings, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Li Yin was stunned. He turned around in the treasury and was almost blown away. On second thought, he finally chose a one meter tall red coral and a two night pearl the size of a fist. In Li Yin's opinion, it could reach twenty. Only things that could be exchanged for money in the first century were worth the money.
After choosing the gift and exiting the Dragon Palace, Li Yin bowed her hand to Wang Gui and was about to leave. At this moment, a strangely shaped stone was placed on the door, which attracted Li Yin's attention.
“Wang Shilang, this stone is very common, why is it placed here?” Li Yin asked casually.
Wang Gui laughed and said, “This stone was brought by the envoy of the Pyu Kingdom who was thousands of miles away as a tribute to His Majesty. His Majesty thought the stone was vulgar and ugly, and he did not want the envoy of the Pyu Kingdom to lose face. You can enter the imperial palace, but you are not allowed to enter the Dragon Palace, what kind of treasure can a small barbarian country like Pyu have!
“Country Pyu?” Isn't this Myanmar? Li Yin thought inwardly and said, "Could it be that the envoy of the Pyu Kingdom did not mention the special features of this stone?"
“I did speak a little, but the envoy of the Pyu Kingdom said that this stone looks like an ordinary stone, but the inside is a green stone, which is very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful, it is still a stone. , which is not worth mentioning.” Gu shook his head.
Wang Gui's explanation made Li Yin's heart beat fast. He walked quickly and walked around the big rock. At a high place at the base of the rock, he saw an emerald green open. True, this stone is actually a rough emerald.
By the time of the Tang Dynasty, jadeite had not been accepted by society at the time. It was natural for Li Shimin to not think of it as a treasure, but for Li Yin, it was truly priceless.
"Wang Shilang, please reinsert the pearl tonight into the treasury, and give me this stone!" said Li Yin.
Wang Gui asked strangely: "Your Majesty, why do you want this broken stone?"
Li Yin laughed and said, “I would rather collect this kind of stone, and I also asked Wang Shilang to send someone to transport this stone to my house.” After speaking, Li Yin stuffed another night pearl into Wang Gui's hands, "This is the transportation fee."
Wang Gui was surprised, "Your Majesty, how can this happen, I will send someone to send it."
“Wang Shilang need not refuse, how can I let you work without results!” Li Yin said straight words.
Leaving Tai Chi Palace, Li Yin's mouth twisted. He took such treasures without pay. Thinking of the high price of jade in the 20th century, Li Yin's eyes suddenly flew. To be honest, Li Yin had been saving up now. It's expensive, and I haven't bought any luxury items. If I were to sell a jade of that size, Li Yin's waist would be more upright.
Li Yin's bribe to Wang Gui was still useful. He entered the palace with his front legs, and a rough jade arrived at the back. Li Yin asked the palace servants to bring a three-meter-high coarse stone into the apse, and ordered that no one enter the place where the coarse jade was placed. Spaces.
As night fell, Li Yin entered the apse, inserted a rough emerald into the ring, and disappeared in the palace.
