Chapter 1123: Make money with you
Li Ke is really short of money.
In the Tang Dynasty, official salaries generally consisted of several parts: lumi, manpower, job land, monthly miscellaneous payments, regular in-kind benefits and special in-kind benefits, which were quite complicated. Not only that, there are other benefits, such as exemption from military service for relatives, housing, transportation, land ownership, and preferential treatment for children and grandchildren in schooling and official positions.
The prince is a first-class official, with an annual salary of 86 guan, 650 dan of rice, 240 guan of labor subsidy, and an output of 1,200 acres of farmland, which is about 1,200 dan... ...There are all kinds of them, and the names are complicated, but they add up to only more than 500 strings.
Of course, the bulk of the prince's income lies in the fief.
For example, the taxation of fiefs...
The Tang Dynasty was not like the Han Dynasty. It could appoint and dismiss officials as its own country within the fiefdom, and even raise taxes unscrupulously in spite of national laws. Moreover, after the taxes in the fiefdom were collected, most of them had to be turned over to the national treasury, and the rest was the income of the fiefdom owner. But as for This is still an enlarged number.
Therefore, the status of a prince or important minister can be seen from the wealth of the fiefdom.
Therefore, as long as a prince does not recruit troops and wants to rebel, under normal circumstances there will be no situation where he does not have enough money to spend...
Of course, if you want luxury and luxury, you can only rely on business...
However, Li Ke did not have any store transactions under his name.
He is different from other princes in that he has the blood of the former Sui royal family. This not only makes him almost lose hope when competing for the position of prince, but also makes him have to be cautious in his actions.
His Majesty Li Er is a generous king, but once he becomes cruel, he will kill everyone...
Li Ke had long been aware that some people in the court were full of ill will towards him, probably because his reputation and talent threatened the crown prince's status, or perhaps because if the crown prince fell, his presence would affect other people's ascension to the throne. ...Among them are several of the prince's uncles, Changsun Wuji.
The Guanlong Group was so powerful that it almost spread throughout the court after His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne. How could Li Ke not be careful and not leave the slightest clue or excuse to others?
To do business, you have to deal with people, but how many people in the world have nothing to do with the former Sui Dynasty? Just a few pulls could kill him. Therefore, Li Ke never did business, and even in the east and west cities, he did not have half of the property of Prince Wu.
It was good to be fashionable in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, the filial piety from subordinates was sent from time to time, which could not be refused. But when he returned to Chang'an, he had the title of prince but no real power, so his life was naturally tight.
When Princess Yang was seriously ill in the south of the Yangtze River, she relied on the palace to continuously send medicines and supplements. After returning to Chang'an, her illness began to recover, and the palace's rewards also decreased. Li Ke suddenly discovered that buying high-quality wild ginseng was also A huge expense...
My dear prince, how can I be so embarrassed?
After listening carefully to the reason, Fang Jun remained silent.
After a long while, he said: "Your Highness...are you being too cautious?"
Not doing business or accepting gifts is to draw a clear line with foreign ministers, so as to avoid being framed by innocent people and causing death. Fang Jun can't say that Li Ke did something wrong. No matter how Changsun Wuji's stance on establishing the heir apparent changes, his targets will still be among his direct relatives and nephews. Facing Li Ke, who is famous and talented, he will seize the opportunity. It is very possible to act harshly. In fact, even after Li Zhi ascended the throne and the world was settled, didn't Changsun Wuji still catch Fang Yiai and others in the rebellion case, drag Li Ke into it, and hang him in Chang'an Palace with a three-foot white silk silk?
No matter what you do, as long as you stand here, you are an obstacle in the eyes of others.
If I really want to get rid of you, why bother to impose a crime on me?
You can't hide...
Li Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Too cautious? Erlang, can't you still see clearly the situation in the DPRK? I am more than cautious? I just want to dig a hole, get in, and never come out again!"
Fang Jun's words had already shattered the longing and hope in Li Ke's heart for the Ninth Five Supreme Being. He realized that no matter what day, he would not be able to covet that position, and he had already given up in his heart. He only wanted to be a "The leisure king in the prosperous age".
But his noble birth has become a shackle for him. Even if he wants to be low-key, he can't. He will always be a threat in the eyes of others...
Fang Jun glanced at Li Ke and thought to himself, what's the use of being handsome? What is the use of a prince?
I feel more aggrieved than myself...
After all, we are close friends. I feel a little sorry to see the scenery like this. Please give me some guidance.
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Jun said: "I have to do a big deal recently. Since Your Highness is short of money, I will raise some money and count it as your share."
Li Ke smiled bitterly: "Since you know that I am short of money, how can you raise money?"
He naturally knew that this was Fang Jun's intention to send money to him, and it must be done in a reasonable and legal manner. Moreover, Fang Jun was known as the "God of Wealth", so if he could call it a big move, it would certainly be a big deal, and the profits would be astonishing. . The problem is that he is short of money now, where can he raise money? If you could just open your mouth and borrow it, you wouldn't have fallen into this situation...
Fang Jun stared at this and said, "Is it possible that His Highness still wants nothing? I really didn't realize that Your Highness is so shameless!"
Li Ke was speechless, I really have no money!
Before he could speak, he heard a delicate voice behind him: "The hero is short of breath, but it's just a temporary danger. Why does the prince-in-law slander the third brother like this?"
Li Ke and Fang Jun looked back, but it was Princess Changle who walked in from the door accompanied by a beauty in palace clothes, Pingping Tingting.
The beauty in palace attire has charming eyebrows and graceful figure. She is dressed in pink and white palace attire. Her head is full of pearls and her face is beautiful, but her beautiful cheeks are slightly thin and her face is a bit too fair.
The charm of a sick beauty flows out.
Fang Jun quickly stood up and saluted: "I have seen the princess."
It is Princess Wu Yang.
Yang returned the courtesy with her skirts gathered, and her voice was soft: "You don't have to be polite, Erlang. His Highness often talks about your great achievements in my ears. Now he is Gaoyang's consort. We are all one family, so don't let anyone see you outside."
Fang Jun's face darkened and he turned to glare at Li Ke.
Do you often talk about our great achievements?
Humph, I'm afraid it's true that our embarrassing things should be told as jokes from time to time...
This is clearly a bad reputation!
Li Ke was also a little embarrassed. Who in the couple's boudoir would promote other men's wisdom and prowess? Naturally, I pick up some interesting things to tell, and there are countless interesting things about Fang Jun. Most of the time, I laugh at him...
But when his wife said it at this time, the magnanimous gentleman Li Ke was naturally a little embarrassed. He laughed and said: "As Li Zhi said, although I am poor, how can I let you slander me like this? Apologize quickly, I am okay. Let the past be forgotten, otherwise you will be charged with contempt for the royal family!”
Fang Jun rolled his eyes, ignored him, turned to Princess Changle and said, "Your Highness is unfair. Your Highness, King Wu, wants to get benefits but doesn't pay for it. Why do you blame me?"
Staring at him with scorching eyes, Princess Changle felt a little guilty and her eyes wandered a little, but she didn't want to show her timidity in front of him. She bit her lips and said, "At worst, I have paid for third brother's capital for him. What else do you have?" What can I say?”
Li Ke quickly said: "Beauty, you must not..."
Princess Wu Yang also patted the back of Princess Changle's hand and said slightly angrily: "Why should we get involved in men's affairs?"
Jun Fangfang over there has already said: "Your Highness, Princess, if you have a deep brother-sister relationship and a strong sense of loyalty, then I would be disrespectful. In order to express your admiration in your heart, Your Highness only needs to spend a portion of your money to get 20% of the shares." ”
Princess Changle snorted and said, "You know what's going on!"
Fang Jun said with a shy face: "I always have good eyesight..."
Tangquanchizi...
Princess Changle's face was pink, her expression was slightly angry, her beautiful eyes were wide-eyed, and she glared at Fang Jun angrily.
Do you have good eyesight?
Once you see it, you can't forget it, right?
What a bastard...
Fang Jun's face was as dark as a flower. He raised his eyebrows when she looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
Princess Changle suddenly panicked, lowered her gaze, her eyelashes blinked, and her heart was pounding wildly.
Could this guy... just take the opportunity to have an interaction with me?
Then wouldn't he think that he was taking the initiative to approach him if he took out the money to buy shares on behalf of the third brother?
Misstep...
I wonder if this guy will push his limits?
For a moment, Princess Changle was in a state of confusion. (End of chapter)
