However, Li You was satisfied, but Li Er was not!
Extremely dissatisfied!
In his opinion, what was the use of a water gall mine? It would be at most 10,000 yuan a year. It might even be a few hundred strings!
It was far from being comparable to the tens of millions of strings he had borrowed.
The difference in price could only be repaid by a favor.
His son's days after marriage…Even if Wei Yuechan was reasonable, what about Wei Ting? What about the rest of House Wei?
He had taken the other party's short hand and eaten the other party's soft hand!
He was the Son of Heaven of the Great Tang, the ruler of a country. How could he let his son suffer such humiliation? Where would he put his face?
"Pass on my second decree," Li Er said,"King Qi Li You is to be appointed as the president of the Great Tang Royal Bank, with a rank of three. King Qi was in charge of appointing all the officials needed for the establishment of the Great Tang Imperial Bank. The following five officials will inform the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the above five officials will report to me.”
Pausing for a moment, he looked at Fang Xuanling and said,"Minister Fang, do you think the Royal Bank of Tang is more important than the six ministries?”
Fang Xuanling was different from Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng was a big troll. He would scold anyone who saw something unreasonable.
Fang Xuanling had an extremely soft personality. He was afraid of his wife at home and Li Er in court. He would do whatever Li Er said.
Even if Li Er didn't say it out loud, he could guess what Li Er wanted to do.
As for being outspoken? What was that? Can it be eaten?
Fang Xuanling immediately understood that Li Er was asking Li You to do him a favor.
Yes, House Wei did pay.
However, Li You can let your Wei family become officials!
It's a mutual benefit. I don't owe House Wei much.
"Uh…I think that the Royal Bank of Tang and the Six Ministries are evenly matched!" Fang Xuanling bowed slightly.”
"Very good. King Qi could then set the number and rank of officials in the Great Tang Royal Bank according to the size of the Six Ministries. Soon after, King Qi submitted a memorial.”
"Thank you, Imperial Father!" Li You blurted out impatiently.
This was the president of the Royal Tang Bank!
After it developed, it would be more than tens of millions of strings. The amount of money he could use would probably exceed hundreds of millions of strings, or even billions of strings!
Money was like a god!
Humans died for wealth, birds died for food!
In the face of excessive wealth, the law was a joke. Human lives were just numbers. Even gods could be profaned!
With so much money, there were too many things that could be done. Especially Li You, who had financial experience in the future. He could simply decide the fate of the Great Tang!
Li You was very happy to have obtained the mining rights of the entire country's bile water mine. He was already overjoyed!
However, Li Er felt that it was not enough!
It was far from enough!
He coughed lightly and said," Pass on my third decree. Wei Ting has been the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for many years. He has worked hard and made great contributions. He will be bestowed the title of…Fuyang Marquis!"”
"Yes!"
All the ministers agreed in unison.
Normally, Li Er didn't ask for everyone's opinion on this matter, so the ministers didn't need to say "obey the decree".
However, making Wei Ting a marquis was too against the rules. Everyone had to express their support for Li Er's decision.
Wei Ting being the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel could only be said to be competent, he had done much more than him. Why was he conferred the title of Marquis?
To put it bluntly, this was compensation to House Wei.
So what if House Wei was rich?
Could a noble title in the imperial court be bought with money?
Don't think that the title of nobility was useless, but this was very useful.
For example, from the perspective of the law, the Eight Discussions were clearly stated. With this title, if Wei Ting accidentally committed a crime, his crime could be reduced by one grade.
Another example was that when Wei Ting was alive, he could live in a marquis-sized house. After Wei Ting died, he could hold a funeral according to the etiquette of a Marquis. In this day and age, even if you had money, you couldn't build a house or a grave as you wished. It had to be in accordance with the law.
Also, the title of nobility could be inherited. Even Wei Ting's descendants were considered to be taken care of.
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my father!”Wei Yuechan bowed deeply to Li Ershen, her voice choked with sobs.
Never before had Wei Yuechan felt so proud of marrying Li You.
She thought to herself that she would have to send people to discuss the Gall Water Ore one by one, but Li You had just said a few words and it was all in his pocket. He didn't need to spend a single cent! Moreover, this included the undiscovered Water Bile Ore! Once and for all!
Most importantly, his father had been conferred a title of nobility because of the incident with the Royal Bank of Tang.
A title that could be passed down to his descendants!
Even if she married the Crown Prince and became his concubine, even if she became the Empress, she couldn't give her father a title of nobility. If he was conferred a marquis without merit, he would definitely be opposed by the ministers in the court.
Now, before anything happened, his father had become a Marquis!
Not only men wanted to bring honor to their ancestors, but women also wanted to! However, how many women in the world could do this?
Wei Yuechan was extremely satisfied.
However, Li Er's reward was not over yet!
"My good daughter-in-law, what reward do you want?" he asked Wei Yuechan.”
"Your Majesty, by rewarding my father, you are rewarding me. I really don't want any rewards." Wei Yuechan hurriedly declined.
"Hmm? You don't want it?"
When Li Er heard this, he was a little unhappy.
You, Wei Yuechan, think that you can't be promoted for the sake of Consort Qi, and you're so rich that you don't care about my rewards?
The more you don't want it, the more I want it!
But then again, it seems like…you were right! You really don't lack anything!
Li Wanwan didn't expect that as the ruler of a country and rich in the four seas, there would be a day where he couldn't give out rewards. He was particularly conflicted.
Li You observed her expression and said,"Imperial Father, there's no need to reward Yue Chan with anything else. We are husband and wife. If you reward your son, it will be considered as rewarding Yue Chan. In fact, not only could the Water Gall Ore be used as medicinal herbs, but it also had other uses. It was really quite valuable. At that time, I'm afraid you'll regret giving your son too much and want to take back some.”
"What a joke. The king is not joking. How can I regret it? In front of so many important officials, this one will make a statement. Even if this gall water mine can buy everything in the world, this one will not take back half of it!”Li Er answered firmly.
He thought to himself,'It's just some green water. It can't turn into gold, right?' How much could it be worth? You 'er, you're saying this because you're giving me face. You're afraid that I'll be embarrassed.
However, it was impolite not to reciprocate.
If you give me face, I can't accept it.
Compensation!
He had to continue to compensate!
Moreover, it was a ruthless compensation!
