Li Jiancheng and Li Er shook their heads secretly.
Li Yuanji smiled at the seven old men.
Why don't you ask around and see how many people His Majesty killed with melon seeds?
She even dared to take his melon seeds?
I'm going to die because of his melon seeds!
The ignorant were fearless!
However, the seven old men didn't know what had happened. Since the little Emperor had given them a handful of melon seeds and even asked them to eat them in front of them, they began to eat them carefully.
After eating the melon seeds, Li Tai blinked his bright eyes and looked at them. He said in a childish voice,
"Alright, we've eaten what we need to eat. Let's get down to business! You know why I called you here, right?”
Li Zhao quickly put away the melon seed skin and bowed."We know. We have already prepared everything for this trip.”
As they spoke, the seven old men took out the title deeds from their sleeves and handed them to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian took it and placed it on Li Tai's table.
Li Tai lowered his head to take a look.
There were a total of twenty-one land deeds for Daozheng Lane, Changle Lane, Xinchang Lane, and Pingkang Lane!
"What does that mean?" Li Tai asked curiously.”
Li Zhao said respectfully," These are 21 deeds of land in Chang 'an. Each of them is worth 1,000 strings of strings. The imperial court is in trouble now. It is our honor to offer our humble help."”
Title deed?
Li Jiancheng frowned.
Li Er narrowed his eyes.
Li Yuanji stared at them.
Li Tai smiled playfully. Twenty-one land deeds worth a thousand strings of strings were twenty-one thousand strings of strings.
The total amount of money was 800 copper coins. According to the future exchange rate, the seven old men had taken out 16.8 million yuan in total.
Was it a lot?
A lot!
But the prerequisite was that he had to take out real money!
But what did these seven old men take out?
The title deed!
There was something fishy about this!
Li Tai clicked his tongue a few times in his heart. As expected of an old fox. He could even think of such a method.
Li Tai raised his small hand and patted the title deed lightly."Good stuff!"
He believed that it was definitely something good.
But the question was whether it was worth it.
Before he transmigrated, Li Tai had been very interested in the housing prices in Chang 'an City. After looking through the information, he found that the housing prices in Chang' an City were about 600 strings of Guan, which was 480,000 wen. In some places, the housing prices were 1,000 strings of Guan, which was 800,000 wen per house.
If it was someone else's house, Li Tai believed that he would definitely be able to sell it for this amount of money.
However, these seven old men gave it to him. How could it be sold for this much money?
Impossible!
Li Tai firmly believed that as long as he accepted it and then sold it, no one would buy it!
Even if it was sold at a low price, those who wanted to buy it would not dare to buy it!
Why?
Because these houses belonged to the five surnames and seven Wangs!
In the end, the seven old men would probably buy it back, and the things would become theirs again.
But what about money? They agreed to donate 16.8 million wen.
The house could be sold for this much money?
If it was sold at a high price, no one would buy it. Now that the imperial court was facing an urgent need, they needed money. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and keep lowering the price. The right to speak returned to the hands of the seven old men!
When the house was sold, but it couldn't be sold at this price, they would go back and settle the score with the seven old men. The seven old men would have a reason to complain that they were wronged. We clearly donated 16.8 million wen. It was you who deliberately lowered the price. How could you blame us for not giving enough money!？
Tsk tsk tsk.
What a good scheme!
Li Tai looked at the seven old men with admiration. They were indeed foxes.
There are needles hidden in cotton.
Not easy to deal with!
At this moment, when the seven old men heard Li Tai gently pat the title deed and say that it was a good thing, the smiles on their faces widened.
It must be something good!
Otherwise, why would he take it out?
Didn't you want us to donate money? We will donate!
And it won't embarrass you!
Donating so much!
Was it enough?
If it's not enough, I'll give you a few more houses!
The seven family heads, who were over fifty years old, looked at Li Tai with a hint of mockery in their eyes.
Li Jiancheng suddenly said," Twenty-one title deeds. The seven family heads are indeed generous, but it's not easy to sell these items. How about this? I'll let you sell these title deeds and donate the money to the imperial court after selling them. What do the seven family heads think?”
The seven old men looked at Li Jiancheng solemnly.
As expected.
The little Emperor was easy to fool, but deposing the Crown Prince was not easy!
It seemed like he knew what was going on.
The seven old men did not panic. Li Zhao sighed and bowed slightly,"Your Highness, although we are strong in heart, we are not strong enough. Our families are all farmers and scholars, and we do not do business.”
"Oh?"
Li Er raised his head and asked,"
"Then I wonder how the seven of you managed to accumulate these 21 land deeds and the wealth of your families? This is not a small amount of money. If your family only produces farmers and scholars, and not businessmen, then when will you be able to accumulate so much money? I am very curious, and I think His Majesty is also very curious. The Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice, and the Imperial Censorate are all very curious.”
Li Zhao chuckled and said,"
"We are all good people. If Your Majesty wants to investigate, then do so. We have a clear conscience. In addition, Your Highness the King of Qin is right about one thing. The wealth of our seven families has indeed been accumulated over the years. The five surnames and seven Wangs did not appear out of thin air.”
As he spoke, Li Zhao's tone was neither servile nor overbearing.
The few old men behind him also had indifferent expressions. They looked as if they could just casually investigate. If they could find out, they would consider it their loss.
Li Jiancheng's expression darkened.
Li Er's expression was also ugly.
Li Yuanji didn't say anything, but it was obvious that his eldest brother and second brother couldn't do anything to these seven old men.
"Aiya, what are you doing?”
At this moment, a tender voice resounded through the Dew Palace.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Li Tai laughed and patted the 21 land deeds in his hand. He said in a childish voice,
"Didn't I say that this is good stuff? The seven of you have done a good job. I am very satisfied. Come, Shen Lian, give each of them a handful of melon seeds! I want all twenty-one of them!”
