Chapter 218 Silla Envoys
"Small money?"
After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu staggered and almost fell down.
The old man in his family is a Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and he may not get a salary of ten taels of gold every year.
But when thinking about His Highness's method, it was just a simple plan that made him earn 20 million taels of gold, which was not something they could imagine.
"Go back with me first, you will naturally be indispensable to you. But I am curious. After giving you this money, can you really take it for yourself?"
Looking at the two of them, they looked full of strange looks. These silvers were nothing to him, but for other families, two million taels of gold was not a small amount.
And with Xiao Zhengtai’s understanding of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, after learning that these two boys had the money, they would definitely take it for themselves as soon as possible.
After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, the two people who were originally excited looked like they were lit with acupoints and stood foolishly.
Your Highness is right. Once the old guy knows this money, he will definitely not even leave any hair for them.
"Your Highness is right. I wonder what your trick is?"
Cheng Chumo licked his face and leaned over to Xiao Zhengtai and asked, "There are so many brothers and sisters in the family, and if you take back such a little money, there is probably not much left."
"I'm just a clever plan. Either put it here and wait for me to pay attention to it in the future. I'm investing in any business, or I'll give you the money in a while."
They are all brothers who have lived and died with them. He will not cheat them of money, but he doesn't want the hard money his brothers to get to slip away in their hands.
"Your Highness, I will leave it here for you. If you have the opportunity, you can invest in business. However, can you give us some money first? After all, we spent all our savings this time!"
Qin Huaiyu said a little embarrassedly, his old face turned red, and the total pocket money his family gave him every month was so much, so he didn't even have the money to ride a carriage.
"A small thing!"
After hearing this, Xiao Zhengta grinned. He could feel the brother's affection for him. He immediately gave the two of them one hundred taels of gold for pocket money.
Those merchants who have obtained the golden signboard have fully felt the benefits of this signboard during this period.
The merchants who were originally second-rate shops or duo shops would not have looked at them directly.
But now, even those family members will contact them enthusiastically, which is something they once dared not imagine.
Now, not only are they related to those high-ranking officials and nobles, but they are also rich in wealth. The power of the golden signboard is definitely not something that can be bragged about.
Those shops that did not get the golden sign were quite jealous of this, and there was no way for them to make their good cards go to pieces.
It was the reconstruction of Linde Hall that a large amount of steel was transported to Chang'an in Huanzhou, and the merchants in charge of the blacksmith business finally understood why they had never received the treatment.
People can die if they compare themselves, and goods can be thrown away. They finally realized that the best in their hands is incomparable to Huanzhou's smelting technology.
Seeing brand new steel, even if they were willing to fight for it, they could only leave in shame. The Changsun family took this opportunity to spread steelmaking technology throughout the Tang Dynasty again.
During this period, the coal mines in Huanzhou and the steel mills of the Changsun family finally got on the right track. The reason why Your Highness did not promise other blacksmith shops was now known that the Changsun family was decided by His Highness, but no one could say anything, because the Changsun family's smelting technology was definitely at the forefront of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Especially the steel shipped back in Huanzhou completely allowed other merchants to see the value of it, so that the Changsun family would visit each day, hoping to start a cooperative relationship with the Changsun family. This situation also made Lao Yinhuo feel happy.
After receiving the order from Xiao Zhengtai, Li Junxian was considered to have fulfilled his merits and handed over the work at hand to those who could trust him, and then returned to Chang'an.
When Li Junxian stood in front of Xiao Zhengtai again, Xiao Zhengtai's eyes almost flew out. Li Junxian's face, who was originally trained hard, was slightly darker than normal people, but now, he has been working in the coal mine for several months, and it seems to be the same as the color of the coal block.
"Your Highness, I am fortunate to be unfair and finally come back."
When Li Junxian came to Xiao Zhengtai, he grinned, revealing his little white eyes, and a hint of luster appeared under the sunlight.
"No... Guard Li, why did you become like this?"
Xiao Zhengtai was very confused. Didn’t he take people to work? How could he make himself look like this?
"Haha, I really feel sorry for watching the local villagers work, so I followed them to get started. After a long time, I became like this."
Li Junxian was a little embarrassed. He almost made a joke when he returned to the palace. If he hadn't had the gold medal, he would have really had to take some tricks to come back.
Moreover, he did not report to His Highness the private affairs of Huanzhou. Li Junxian is very popular among the people in the local area. Not only do he love those people, he also has no airs and is generous in his actions. He never deducts the hard money of the people.
Before he knew it, Li Junxian himself didn't know that some of the unmarried girls in the village were quite moved by him. After learning that he was leaving, many people were still secretly wiping their tears.
Li Er attached great importance to the changes in the Tang Dynasty during this period. After witnessing all this, he could also experience the changes in the Tang Dynasty. While feeling relieved, he also sighed that the people of the Tang Dynasty are finally coming to a good day.
It is simple to say that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, but at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he could not sleep peacefully for countless days and nights, for fear that he would not be able to do anything there and would cause the people to suffer.
This time it was all thanks to Xiao Zhengtai. Since he stood out, the entire Tang Dynasty's economy has risen sharply, which has added a lot of benefits to the treasury.
However, just when Li Er was showing off and was planning to discuss with the ministers whether to hold a celebration banquet, he suddenly heard that Silla's envoy came to visit.
After hearing this news, Li Er was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, and his beautiful mood disappeared in an instant.
Some time ago, he had already received help from Silla and Baekje, but this period was quite busy. Moreover, he also gave Goguryeo Wang Xiu a letter, which should be able to solve the problem of two effects.
But now, the envoy's visit made him wonder whether his letter would have any effect. He was grateful for this time or again asking him to send troops.
