However, on the way to King Qin's Mansion, Pei Ji and the others had to stop and look ahead in confusion.
In front of them, the entire street was filled with carriages carrying goods!!
He couldn't see the end!
On each carriage was a heavy wooden box.
"This-"
" How many carriages?!"
Pei Ji was dumbstruck as he secretly clicked his tongue.
The dozens of officials behind him were equally shocked.
Someone counted the carriages and was shocked to find that there were more and more carriages!
Pei Ji came back to his senses and casually pulled a coachman over. He asked,"Where are you going?"
The coachman glanced at Pei Ji and saw that he was wearing a purple official robe. His heart jumped in shock. He was a third-grade official of the imperial court. He hurriedly smiled apologetically and said,"I am a servant of the Li family in Longxi. I am here on the orders of the head of the family to bring the 150,000 strings of money donated to the Imperial Court to King Qin's Mansion!”
Hearing this, the officials 'breathing quickened.
This donation speed was too fast!
How could they know that the five surnames and seven Wangs wished that they could donate the money faster so that the seven stone tablets could be moved away from Ming De Sect? Otherwise, they wouldn't even dare to step out of the mansion.
"Let's not delay any longer. Let's go to King Qin's residence!”
Pei Ji was so excited that his eyes were red. He turned around and looked at the officials, saying,"The Supreme Emperor said that he wants us to ask His Majesty for money. As for how much we want, it depends on what you say!”
"Understood!"
The officials also nodded excitedly. As for how they could ask for more money, they did not care.
If it was the Supreme Emperor, it might not be so easy, but if it was the eight-year-old Li Tai, wouldn't it be easy to get money?
She was just a child. She would give it to him with a few words of coaxing!
After all, every family had a child.
There were many ways for adults to deal with children!

Meanwhile, in King Qin's Residence.
When the carriages arrived at the mansion, Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji were shocked to see the contents of the wooden boxes.
The wooden box was filled with copper coins!
Li Tai placed his hands behind his back and stood on the high platform that hadn't been dismantled yet. He looked curiously at the wooden boxes that were constantly being moved into the courtyard. He heard from the coachmen that each wooden box contained 25 strings of money and weighed 100 pounds.
The 1.05 million strings of coins donated by the five surnames and the Seven Wangs would need 42000 boxes to store!
"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this.”
Li Er looked at the courtyard of King Qin's Mansion. The boxes were piled higher and higher, but they still could not accommodate more than 40,000 boxes. He frowned and said,"We have to make room for another place.”
A naive smile appeared on Li Tai's face as he said in a tender voice,""Wait a moment, there will be a way."
Li Eryi was stunned. What did that mean?
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the manor, followed by an old voice outside the door.
"I, Pei Ji, have led all the civil and military officials to request an audience with Your Majesty!!”
Li Er tilted his head and looked over. He said in confusion,"What are they doing here at this time?"
Money, of course!
Li Tai cursed in his heart. The five surnames and seven Wangs ordered people to drive the carriage and send boxes of money to King Qin's residence. How could the civil and military officials not see such a huge scene?
But why was Pei Ji here?
Didn't he go to the palace to report to Li Yuan?
Li Tai thought for a moment and quickly understood. A meaningful smile appeared on his face. Pei Ji had probably brought all the civil and military officials to King Qin's Mansion on the Supreme Emperor's orders.
Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to get money?
Money can fly?
Can't we do it tomorrow morning?
Perhaps after the news was brought to the palace by Pei Ji, Li Yuan had nowhere to vent his anger and all the limelight had been stolen. He was about to become a true Supreme Emperor and wanted to borrow money to regain his authority.
But the problem is, I was the one who got the money.
Isn't it too much for you to use my hard-earned money to restore your authority?!
After thinking it through, Li Tai shook his sleeves and took out some melon seeds. He took them in his hand and said in a childish voice,
"Come in."
Pei Ji led the officials into the courtyard and looked at Li Tai, who was watching them while munching on melon seeds. They hurriedly bowed and said loudly,"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Li Tai blinked and said," There's no need to be so formal. Get up. So many of you have come together. What's the matter?"”
Pei Ji hurriedly said,
"Your Majesty, this subject has received the Supreme Emperor's edict and brought all the civil and military officials here to request Your Majesty to allocate funds for the three provinces, six ministries, and twelve divisions. The Supreme Emperor's meaning is that the various departments of the Imperial Court are in urgent need of money. Since Your Majesty has already gathered more than a million strings of strings, then this money should be used for the Imperial Court!”
"Did Imperial Grandfather really say that?" Li Tai continued to blink.”
Pei Ji said solemnly,"This subject would never dare to lie. The Supreme Emperor really said so!"”
Li Tai walked in front of Pei Ji and laughed,"According to what you mean, Imperial Grandfather only asked you to come to me for money. As for how much you want me to give you, how much I give you, and how I give you, it's all up to me, right?”
"This-"
Pei Ji hesitated for a moment. He recalled the words that the Supreme Emperor had given him and nodded."Your Majesty is right."
"That's easy!"
Li Tai raised his chubby little hand and pointed at the courtyard that had so many wooden boxes that it could barely fit. He said in a tender voice,
"As you can see, there is money everywhere under your feet. How much you want depends on your own ability. I don't care where you come from in the three provinces, six departments, and twelve divisions. In short, if you want money, carry the boxes to the palace.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Prince Qin's residence fell silent.
