The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Do you want Zhao Chen to talk to them about the problems faced by the emperor?

The officials were a little surprised.

They all turned their attention to Zhao Chen.

Many veterans saw the tiger skin coat on Zhao Chen again, and the corners of their mouths twitched subconsciously.

In this snowy day, Zhao Chen didn't want to stand here stupidly anymore.

That's it. Zhao Chen stood up and looked at Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of Household Affairs.

As you all know, this Eight-Niu Crossbow was developed by our Chang'an Academy. The Academy spent a lot of energy and money researching this thing.

The energy will come back after raising it, but the loss of money... Zhao Chen looked at Liu Zhenghui with a smile.

At this point, any fool knew that Zhao Chen was asking him for money.

Liu Zhenghui frowned.

He thought that the eight-oxen crossbow belonged to the emperor.

That's why the emperor was so excited to ask them to come together.

But now, it seems not.

The emperor called them here to buy the Eight Ox Crossbow from Zhao Chen?

This is somewhat unreasonable.

The whole world belongs to the emperor. Even if the Eight Ox Crossbow was researched by the academy, it should be presented to the emperor for free.

The benevolence of the emperor means giving some rewards.

But why was Zhao Chen the only one asking them for money?

The emperor also asked Zhao Chen to speak for himself, which means that the emperor agreed to this matter?

Jun Zhao, as a member of the Tang Dynasty, it is the honor of every citizen of the Tang Dynasty to be able to make suggestions for the country. How can you still ask for money from us? Liu Zhenghui tried to refuse Zhao Chen's request with a shameless attitude. .

Liu Zhenghui thought to himself that the money Zhao Chen earned in a year was more than the income of the Tang treasury.

If you are so rich, you still need to ask the court for money.

The layout is too small!

Does Liu Shangshu's family usually go to the East Market to buy vegetables? Zhao Chen smiled and asked Liu Zhenghui.

Liu Zhenghui frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and said, My servant went to the East Market to buy vegetables.

Then the servants in Liu Shangshu's house must be very domineering, and they don't even give money to buy vegetables?

I wonder if it was taught by Liu Shangshu?

Nonsense, when did I teach my servants not to give me money when buying groceries? Moreover, the servants at home will give me an extra penny or two every time they buy groceries.

Jun Zhao, false accusation is a serious crime. Liu Zhenghui was angry at that time.

As the Minister of Household Affairs, if he doesn't even give money to his servants to buy groceries, his reputation will be ruined.

If that's the case, then you don't need to pay for the things that are researched in my academy?

Or is Liu Shangshu actually implying that His Majesty never pays for anything he buys?

No, I don't want to slander anyone! Liu Zhenghui almost made Zhao Chen angry to death.

What do you mean?

He just wanted Zhao Chen not to pay for it, so he could save a lot of money.

Moreover, Zhao Chen's character must be that of a lion.

Liu Zhenghui was worried that he couldn't handle him.

Who would have thought that Zhao Chen would implicate the emperor as he talked?

Lao Li hugged the hand warmer, his face twitching twice.

He knew that Zhao Chen would not easily forget the incident of beating him yesterday, but he did not expect that this revenge would come so quickly.

Ahem, I always tell the people in the palace not to act carelessly. No one will do anything that violates the rules. The emperor waved his hand and said this with a guilty conscience.

There were so many people in the palace, how could he know if Zhao Chen had caught something?

Liu Aiqing, I think what Zhao Chen said makes sense. The Eight Ox Crossbow was researched by the academy and it took a lot of effort.

This money must be given.

As for how much, we can still discuss it. The emperor smiled.

The matter of giving money has finally been finalized.

Old Li Tou is also very cunning, and he wants to split the accounts with Zhao Chen.

This must not be helpful, Zhao Chen said

talk.

That's it, with Zhao Chen's character, they really can't get the design drawings of the Eight Ox Crossbow without getting money.

Liu Zhenghui frowned.

He knew that Zhao Chen was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he would be so difficult to deal with. ??

It only took a few words to get him into trouble.

This guy really shouldn't be underestimated.

Liu Zhenghui thought to himself.

The other officials listened carefully to what was going on here.

Zhao Chen asked Liu Zhenghui for money so openly, which surprised them.

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue is a stingy person. Even His Majesty can't do anything to him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen silenced him with just a few words.

That means giving money, but Liu Shangshu has the final say on how much to give?

You're right. Liu Shangshu values ​​money more than his life. Zhao Chen definitely won't be able to get much money out of it.

That's for sure, the stingy Minister is not just talking about it.

The officials were talking. Although the emperor agreed to give Zhao Chen a sum of money, they did not believe how much Zhao Chen could get from Liu Zhenghui.

After all, Liu Zhenghui is famous for being stingy.

Your Highness, Zhao Chen is really good at speaking. Liu Shangshu was forced to speak. Du He looked gloomy.

He didn't wish Zhao Chen well at all.

The more uncomfortable Zhao Chen feels, the happier he becomes.

Zhao Chen is not that easy to deal with, and haven't you noticed that my father is obviously speaking for Zhao Chen.

I'm afraid the two of them have some private deal. Li Tai said slowly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Is there a deal? Du He looked surprised.

…

Let's do this, Liu Shangshu, I don't want more from you, I just want 700,000 coins.

It's only 700,000 yuan. It shouldn't be too difficult for you! Zhao Chen said a number.

Liu Zhenghui almost fell to the ground on the spot.

Fortunately, someone was supporting me, otherwise this would

It always feels a little uneconomical to meet a noble person after a long time.

Seven hundred thousand strings?

Did I hear wrongly?

This is not asking for money, this is clearly stealing money!

I have lived for so many years and have never seen such a shameless person.

Good guy, I'm a good guy.

Not only the officials looked surprised, but also the emperor could barely hold the hand warmer in his hand.

The emperor originally thought that Zhao Chen would say that five hundred thousand guan each would be enough.

If this was what they had discussed before.

He can also get 200,000 yuan.

Now Zhao Chen is really a lion with a big mouth, and he will ask for 700,000 guan when he opens his mouth.

This is treating the Tang Dynasty's treasury as one's own treasury.

Take it if you want, take it if you want it?

Although he was not happy, the emperor still endured it.

After all, if Zhao Chen wants a lot, he, Old Li, will also get a lot.

700,000 guan, divided into 40%, that is 280,000 guan.

When the time comes, I can scare that kid with the emperor's majesty, and I can easily get three hundred thousand gold.

hey-hey!

Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.

Seven hundred thousand yuan, Duke Zhao, are you afraid that the lard has deceived you and you dare to speak like this? Liu Zhenghui shook off the official who was supporting him.

He was really angry, and his gray beard was shaking non-stop.

Li Jing stood aside and glanced to the side.

Now he wants to find a crack to get in.

This guy is too bold to say, 700,000 yuan. Even if Liu Zhenghui is killed, he will not come up with so much money.

Hey, old man, just speak properly. It's your fault if you start to curse.

If you don't want it, just say so. I won't force you, right?

Come here, please dismantle the eight-oxen crossbow for me. It's so cold. Take it home and use it as firewood to keep warm. Zhao Chen and the students from the academy shouted.
