In fact, Second Emperor Li's guess was right!
All of this was really arranged by Li Yun!
The triangular prism was made by him when he was playing with the glass.
In modern society, children no longer played with such things!
However, if it was in ancient times, it would definitely be a great killing weapon!
Being able to emit light and produce strange phenomena was a peerless treasure in this era where knowledge was scarce!
If he met a sucker, he might spend a lot of money to buy it, so Li Yun had been saving it up.
After making the decision to build the road, he suddenly thought of this matter and pondered carefully.
Drink up!
It would be a bit too much if the Emperor did not pay for the construction of roads and infrastructure for the Great Tang!!
So he began to calculate
Originally, the first partner he thought of was Old Li, but Old Li was a hardcore fan of Li Er and directly rejected his proposal.
Li Yun had no choice but to find someone from his village to put on a show.
In order to attract attention, he spent three days in Chang 'an to build up momentum.
It was to attract a lot of attention the moment the person presenting the treasure appeared!
This was because his tenant was different from Old Li. His status was lower.
If he didn't do this, there was an 80% chance that he wouldn't be able to see Li Er!
At the same time, he also arranged for people to secretly lead the way, just to use the fishing boat to force Li Er to give a generous reward!
The entire sinister plan was smooth and flawless!
Li Yun only had one goal, and that was to scam him, Li Er, of a few million!!
......
He returned to the royal study.
Wei Zheng was even more confused when he saw the three of them nod in unison.
"But why did the expert do this?”
" They're just trying to scam money from me." Emperor Li Er sighed." Didn't those people say that His Majesty would definitely give them several times the reward?”
"According to my understanding of this little bastard, the people who jeered were definitely deliberately arranged by him!”
Hearing this, Wei Zheng tried his best to control his twitching facial muscles.
This seemed a little different from the legendary reclusive experts!!
" Your Majesty," Fang Xuanling said with a bitter smile," Li Yun's move is too ruthless. He has sealed off almost all our escape routes."”
"I really can't think of any way to deal with it.”
Hearing this, Second Emperor Li was greatly disappointed. He turned to Du Ruhui and asked," Keming, what do you think?”
" I don't know what to do either," Du Ruhui said with a frown.
"If you don't want this glass treasure, then the people will probably suspect that Your Majesty doesn't value the fate of the country and doesn't care about the country.”
"But if you want this treasure, you really can't give too little reward. Everyone is watching!”
"The commoners are all thinking that the current Emperor will not watch his people go bankrupt!”
"So, Your Majesty, you should be prepared to pay a huge price this time!”
After Du Ruhui finished speaking, Second Emperor Li was completely in despair!
These two people had the same thoughts as him. The surprise he was looking forward to did not appear!
After a long while, Second Emperor Li gritted his teeth and said,
"In that case, give it to me!"
"I can still take out a few million strings!"
"Using it to build roads for the people of the Great Tang is not a waste!”
When he said this, his heart was bleeding.
That was millions of dollars, and the tax collection for the new year had yet to begin.
Including the money he had accumulated in the cabinet and the balance of the national treasury, he only had this little money left!!
It was tough for him to be the emperor!
The thought of the money being loaded into a carriage and transported to Li Yun's residence in Lantian County made Second Emperor Li feel a suffocating feeling in his chest!
Right now, he really wanted to kill his way over and give that little bastard a good beating!
Hit him on the ground and help him up!
Despicable!
Too despicable!
As he thought about it, Second Emperor Li remembered how he laughed when he heard that Li Yun was about to run out of money a few days ago!
Compared to the two, it felt a little bleak.
Just as he was still in a daze, Wei Zheng suddenly said,
"Your Majesty, Li Yun is really talented!”
"Fortunately, he is a citizen of our Great Tang!”
"If not for that, this subject really can't think of a way to deal with those even more vicious tricks he used on our Great Tang!”
After saying that, he even shook his head and praised,
"I'm far inferior to you in terms of intelligence and meticulous thinking!”
“......”
When Second Emperor Li saw this scene, his eyes widened and he pointed at Wei Zheng. He was speechless for a long time!
His breath was stuck, and he almost died!!
The old and the young were even starting to appreciate each other?!
Just because both of you like to talk back to the emperor?!
Fang Xuanling saw that Second Emperor Li was a little agitated and hurriedly advised,
"Your Majesty, it is still too early to make a decision.”
"Let's wait for a day and a half to see the reaction of the people.”
"If this matter doesn't spread as we expected, we'll reward them according to the usual rules!”
" Xuanling makes sense," Du Ruhui chimed in." Let's wait for a while and make a decision tomorrow!"”
Their words made a glimmer of hope rise in Li Er's heart again, and his anger also subsided a little.
However, at noon the next day.
Second Emperor Li realized that he had underestimated Li Yun's methods!
According to the secret investigation of the Hundred Horsemen, in just half a day, Lantian County, including Li Village, had dispatched thousands of people to Chang 'an!!
He told everyone about this!
Before the curfew, the citizens of Chang 'an knew about it!
Second Emperor Li sighed.
"Pass down the order. In two hours, outside the Taiji Palace, I will personally meet the merchant from Shu who presented the treasure!”
"The people of Chang 'an City can also come to watch the ceremony!”
He said the words " merchants in Shu " with extra force.
He couldn't escape!
Then he might as well make a big fuss and let the people see that the emperor loved his people like his own children!
This money must not be wasted!
......
Two hours later.
Second Emperor Li was wearing a black dragon robe with golden patterns. He stood at the top with his hands behind his back. His aura was powerful and steady, making people not dare to look at him directly.
The officials of the court stood on both sides of him, cupping their hands.
Outside the spacious Taiji Palace hall, there were at least a thousand people who were watching the show.
However, due to the emperor's majesty, no one dared to make a sound. The scene was very quiet.
"Your Majesty, the Sun family of Shu Zhong who presented the treasure is already waiting outside!”
"Bring him in!" Li Er said in a deep voice.
"Sun from Shu will enter the palace to meet the emperor!!”
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he was brought over!
This so-called Sun family in Shu was just an ordinary tenant farmer in Li Village.
Because his accent had a bit of Shu accent, he was arranged by Li to do this.
He had been farming in the countryside every day and had never seen such a scene before!
Thus, as soon as he entered, he was so scared that his legs went weak. He had to rely on someone to help him stand up.
"Sun shi, zhen heard that you obtained a treasure to offer to zhen?”
Second Emperor Li stared at him with an eagle-like gaze.
"No, that's right, Your Majesty!" Sun shi stuttered as she replied.
When His Majesty looked over just now, he almost collapsed!
This was the current Emperor!
Young Master had said that the Emperor was very foolish and easy to fool, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all!
He did not even dare to look at this aura!
However, when he thought of the help his young master had given him all these years, he gritted his teeth and endured it!
"Bring that treasure over for me to see.”Emperor Li Er said," By the way, explain to me the origin of this item.”
Minister of Civil Affairs Dai Zhou personally stepped forward and took the triangular prism.
Second Emperor Li fiddled with the prism in his hand.
From the material and the degree of clarity of this thing, it was obvious that it was made by that little bastard Li Yun!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this item is mine." Sun shi bit her tongue and began to explain.
As he spoke, Li Er would ask questions from time to time.
For example, how many people does your family have in Shu? Where do you live? How long have you been in business?
For example, what was the surname of the poor family and where did they live? What was the name of the Taoist priest who made the annotation on Mount Emei?
What surprised Second Emperor Li was that after he raised these questions, Sun shi did not panic at all!
He answered every single detail without any loopholes!
Sun shi answered fluently while secretly admiring her young master's foresight!
After he finished speaking, Second Emperor Li really had no other tricks up his sleeve this time.
He sighed helplessly and said,
"As a merchant, you actually have a sincere heart for the country.”
"Don't worry, We will never mistreat the good men of our Great Tang!”
These words were forced out of Second Emperor Li's mouth as if he had eaten a fly. His heart was extremely uncomfortable.
However, just as he was about to say the words 'bestow', he saw Sun shi suddenly stand up straight and loudly say,
"Your Majesty, I didn't hand this over for a reward!”
"As long as the Great Tang can prosper, my 3,847,605 strings of wealth are nothing!!”
After he finished speaking, Second Emperor Li's eyelids twitched violently!
What's worth mentioning?
Then why did you say these numbers with zeros and numbers?!
Why was that?
Second Emperor Li felt like he was about to go crazy. He took a deep breath and said,
"There's no need to say these words. We will not let the people of the Great Tang suffer!”
"I will give you double the money you spent!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the commoners outside Taiji Palace cheered loudly!
All of them shouted,"Your Majesty is wise!”、"Great Tang's Changshun!"
These people weren't hired by Li Yun. They were simply convinced by the current Emperor's dominance!
After saying that, Second Emperor Li did not want to stay any longer. He turned around and instructed Dai Zhou,
"Just do as I say and allocate money from the national treasury!”
Then, he quickly got up and strode away amidst the respectful greetings of the officials and commoners!
......
After returning to his bedchamber, Li Er went to the Administrative Hall immediately.
But this time, his purpose was different from the past. He was here to find his daughter.
Inside the room, Empress Zhangsun, Li Lizhi, and Little Si were sitting on the couch and chatting.
"Lizhi, tell Aye the truth. Did you know that Li Yun tricked me?”
Li Er asked directly.
Li Lizhi blinked at him and said hesitantly,
"Aye, which time are you talking about?”
P.S. Thank you for your support, brothers. I've recommended it, thank you on your knees!!
From now on, he would continue to write and upload as much as he could!
