The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

510,000 yuan, isn't this a joke?

Even if he skinned Duan Lun, cramped his muscles, and broke his bones into pieces inch by inch, he still wouldn't be able to find so much money.

Duan Lun was asked to spend 510,000 yuan, but Duan Lun still felt that he would just die.

Duan Lun rejected him so decisively, and Li Shimin's face twitched.

Didn't he mean that Duan Lun was asked to pay so much money alone, but this guy actually rejected him so simply?

"Duan Lun, you said that to me just now. I won't hold you accountable and ask you to pay two dollars. Are you so unwilling?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

Duan Lun's mouth twitched.

Is this two dollars?

"Your Majesty, minister..."

"Your Majesty, how much do these potatoes cost per pound? Why do they cost 510,000 yuan?" Fang Xuanling was afraid that Duan Lun would annoy the emperor again.

Quickly change the topic to the potatoes themselves.

Fang Xuanling calculated that half a million guan is 500 million yuan, and three million kilograms of potatoes. How much do these potatoes cost per kilogram?

One hundred and seventy cents per catty.

This is much more expensive than beef and mutton.

Even they can't afford such a high price.

Ordinary people would not even dare to take a look.

"The prime minister is right. Why do these three million kilograms of potatoes cost so much?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty was deceived by Duke Zhao?"

"Jun Gong Zhao has always been very clever. Maybe your Majesty has really been deceived by him."

"Isn't that right? Duke Zhao..."

"Your Majesty, what's going on? Three million kilograms of potatoes were sold for such a sky-high price." Fang Xuanling asked again.

No matter how you calculate it, the price of potatoes shouldn't be so expensive.

Li Shimin looked forward and saw all the ministers looking at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

"I once wanted to make Zhao Chenjin the Duke of the country..."

"Duke?"

"How old is he to be promoted to Duke in one year?"

"What is Zeng Xiang? Did he still refuse?"

Before the emperor finished speaking, he heard a noisy discussion among the ministers.

Grand Duke, apart from these few, how many Dukes are there standing here now?

And none of these princes climbed out of the dead.

Zhao Chen, a seventeen-year-old boy, the emperor actually wanted to make him the Duke of the country.

The key is, judging from the emperor's tone, Zhao Chen seems to have refused.

"That bastard Zhao Chen said he doesn't want the title of Duke, he only wants money!" Li Shimin stood on top and said with a faint expression.

"What?"

"You don't want the title of Duke, but you just want money?"

"Is he crazy?"

"The title of duke is something that many people would never dare to think about, but he doesn't even care about it and doesn't want it even if he says he doesn't want it?"

"This is really crazy and definitely not fake."

When the officials heard that the emperor said that Zhao Chen only wanted money and no title, they almost overturned the Tai Chi Palace with their exclamations.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong looked at each other and found that each other's eyes were full of shock.

If they had been in Zhao Chen's position, they would never have turned down the position of Duke.

Zhao Chen actually refused.

How could he endure such a huge temptation!

"But Your Majesty, you don't need so much money!" Fang Xuanling was amazed and thought of the 510,000 yuan.

510,000 yuan, how long will it take?

Doesn't the emperor want to take money from the treasury?

This is not okay.

The last time he built a cement road for Tubo, the emperor asked Zhao Chen to borrow 20 million guan, which almost made the court turn over.

If we take out the money again this time, I'm afraid the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs will collectively commit suicide.

The rest of the people were quiet at this moment, waiting for the emperor's answer.

If the emperor wanted to take money from the treasury, they would have to

Fight for the emperor.

"Three million kilograms of potatoes, a total of fifteen thousand pounds, and then there is a potato patent fee, which means that I can grow potatoes anywhere in the future."

"This patent fee is five hundred thousand yuan!" Li Shimin said quietly.

He felt uncomfortable too.

Five hundred thousand dollars in royalties.

Zhao Chen's money is coming in faster than the Mint of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is confused!"

"The world belongs to your Majesty. Where does your Majesty plant potatoes instead of planting them?"

"Can Zhao Chen still stop His Majesty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue will never be able to come up with 510,000 yuan."

"This is too much, Your Majesty. I will go to Duke Zhao and ask him to spit out the money."

The officials were all excited.

The entire Tang Dynasty belonged to the emperor.

Isn’t it the emperor who has the final say on what kind of potatoes are used?

Why should we look at Zhao Chen's face?

Royalties?

Never heard of this thing.

"I thought about it too, but Zhao Chen told me that there is nothing else he can plant, and the yield is even more than potatoes."

"If I don't pay the patent fee, he won't plant it!"

"What can I do?" Li Shimin said slowly, looking troubled.

…

In the Li Zheng Hall, Li Chengqian sat opposite Queen Changsun.

Looking at the child she had raised since childhood, Queen Changsun didn't know how she felt.

Now she just wants Li Chengqian to be safe in the rest of his life, and don't risk his own life.

"Why would Gan'er want to come to the Queen Mother today?" Queen Changsun said with a smile.

Her attitude towards Li Chengqian has not changed much.

In other words, I just felt a little guilty.

Thinking that the crown prince position that Li Chengqian longed for was not his in the end.

Queen Changsun felt that she was sorry for him.

If I was not mistaken at first.

With this prince's position, there will be no mistakes.

Now……

"I haven't come to visit my mother for a long time. Come here today to say hello to my mother." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"My mother is very happy that you have such a heart." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"Queen mother..." Li Chengqian suddenly paused.

He actually wanted to ask what the relationship between Zhao Chen and the Queen was.

But he also knew that if he asked this question, whether it was true or not, the queen would definitely be unhappy.

The queen was unhappy, which was of no benefit to him, Li Chengqian.

"What do you want to say, Qian'er?" Queen Changsun said with a faint smile.

"Yes, Queen Mother, since my uncle was reprimanded by the Emperor Father, I have no one around me to teach me recently. I have a loose temper and I am worried that if this continues, I will disappoint the Emperor Father and the Empress."

"So, I would like to ask my mother to talk to my father about whether my uncle can come back and teach me!" Li Chengqian said slowly.

Li Chengqian did not dare to ask about the relationship between the queen and Zhao Chen.

But asking Queen Changsun to help intercede with the emperor and let Changsun Wuji come back was the main purpose of his coming here today.

Empress Changsun does not interfere in government affairs.

Moreover, Changsun Wuji made a mistake and was reprimanded by the emperor to go home. What could she, a woman, say?

Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Li Chengqian cupping his hands and saying, "Mother, I just feel that there is no one around me who can speak my mind."

"In the past year, I have indeed made a lot of mistakes. My father is disappointed in me, and I know it in my heart."

"But I also want to change. My uncle is the person closest to me besides my father, the emperor, and my queen. Many times, I also want to express my inner feelings to others."

"Begging my mother to let my uncle come back!"

As Li Chengqian spoke, he knelt down in front of Queen Changsun.
