The stubborn old man left Li Chengqian speechless. Why can’t I understand what good things are said?

After sighing, Comrade Xiao Li reorganized his thoughts: "Father, I know that some of my previous practices are absurd, but this time I am definitely not a mess. If you are still worried, then let's do this, Qian Erchen from the palace on the Dragon Shouyuan. You just need to return the money to Erchen within ten years. How about it?"

"There is this good thing? What the hell are you going to do?" His Majesty Li Er frowned suspiciously.

Longshouyuan was indeed building a palace, but it was planned to build it for Lao Liyuan a few years ago. Later, Lao Liyuan died of illness, and the matter of building the palace was repeatedly delayed, one because there was no money, but because there was no one.

The reason why I said I had no money was because the Tang Dynasty had been fighting in recent years, and the treasury money could not be moved at all. The construction of the palace was also involved in Li Er's private affairs. In the past, I could have repaired it in the name of the old man Li Yuan, but now the old man is dead, so Old Li is naturally embarrassed to transfer money from the treasury again.

As for the inner warehouse, I'm sorry, if Li Chengqian hadn't been plagued by Lao Li some time ago, he would have been able to starve the rat to death now.

Another point is that people recruited people and have always rejected the censors of the Tang Dynasty, believing that it was a repeat of the mistakes of the former Sui Dynasty. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er tried countless times but still could not convince those censors.

So when there is no money or anyone, the palace on Longshouyuan has been repaired intermittently. It is really not as fast as the "Lan Ruo Temple" of Li Chengqian.

His Majesty Li Er cursed a lot when there was no one, and he felt that he was a frustrated as an emperor.

Li Chengqian knew very well how much the old man hoped to repair the palace on the Dragon Head Origin as soon as possible. It was also a good choice to take advantage of the old man's weakness to make him loosen up the banking matter.

Therefore, the old man's doubts sounded like a natural sound to him, and he smiled and put his head in front of his father: "Don't be satisfied with your father, you are too rigid in your work. If you handed this to your son's minister earlier, you might have lived in the new palace now."

"Fart! Just do it as you want? Do you know how many times I have wiped my butt in the past few years? If I hadn't helped you, I'd be afraid that your head would be hung on the city gate building." Li Erzai's son's head was bounced hard and said with a hatred.

"Oh!" Li Chengqian felt that his head was chiseled by a siege hammer, and almost burst into tears. He hugged his head and said in a grievance: "Father, let's go with one code. I just talked about the palace on the Dragon Headland, and didn't say anything else."

"Other palaces are called Daming Palace, do you know? You are ignorant of things." Old Li glared at Li Chengqian.

As early as the day when the ground was broken on the Dragon Shou Yuan, Lao Li had already said that the palace in that place would be called "Da Ming Palace" in the future, but this guy Li Chengqian didn't know how to live or die, and the "palace" was endless. This is also the reason why Lao Li was angry.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's the Daming Palace." Li Chengqian nodded in a good manner, pretending to be enlightened.

"Tell me, how do you plan to build the Daming Palace?" After a long time of talk, His Majesty Li Er finally pulled the topic back and asked seriously as he looked at Li Chengqian.

"Simple, isn't this a matter of money and people? Erchen doesn't have anything else but a lot of money. Now, Erchen can provide you with ten years of interest-free loans. As long as you return the money to Erchen within ten years, you will be exempted from interest."

"There are also easy to deal with. There are people in the Western Regions, so I can get some back. Those people are about to starve to death in the Western Regions. When we get here, we only need to give stutters. If you perform well, you can give the Tang Dynasty household registration and give them land, so as to ensure that they will gather like wolves."

There was an inexplicable brilliance in Li Chengqian's eyes, and he unknowingly turned his head to the old man again. Seeing that Old Li's fingers began to itch again, he wanted to flick it.

Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er restrained the desire in his heart, twitched his fingers twice and finally did not flick down. He used a light cough to cover up: "Then have you ever thought about what consequences would be if you were found out after you touched the money?"

His Majesty Li Er’s question is very sharp. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to answer it.

But Li Chengqian is not an ordinary person. He smiled and said, "Father, Erchen hasn't finished it yet. I've given you an interest-free loan. You have to give Erchen some profit, right? How about I'll give this project to Erchen?"

"How? Boy, you're still far away from lying to me!" His Majesty Li Er curled his lips and leaned forward, almost with Li Chengqian: "If you also provide the project, wouldn't you let you take millions of guan from me without spending a penny?"

"Father, what do you say? Even if you are to submit the project to Erchen, you have to spend money on buying materials? You can't save money on hiring people. It's not enough to count as few millions of chunks a year." Li Chengqian stretched out five fingers and compared it back and forth a few times, indicating the old man's annual amount of money he had to spend.

"A hundred million guan? Do you really think I'm the sucker? It takes tens of millions of guan to build a Daming Palace? Why don't you rob it?" His Majesty Li Er wanted to tear people's heads again.

However, Li Chengqian did not seem to be afraid of the old man's anger, but instead said with striking remarks: "The construction progress of the second half is fast. If the progress is faster, the annual cost will naturally be higher. Moreover, the project progress is faster, and the construction period can be shortened. If the completion is completed within three years, the total construction cost can be controlled within tens of millions of qians."

"That's not OK. Tens of millions of guan. Don't I have to pay one million coins every year? Do you really think my money is blowing from the wind? Do you dare to ask for one million coins a year?" According to the total cost of the project, His Majesty Li Er easily concluded that he needed to pay one million coins a year.

"I only have one million guan, Father, think about it, what can one million guan do now? Building a railway to Luoyang is not enough. The number of weapons we sell every year is more than this. It's enough for you to just leak a little out of your fingers." Li Chengqian also fought for his first customer.

If the old man can do this business, he can let Lao Li know the benefits of the bank, and opening a bank will become a natural thing.

As for building a palace..., this is not a problem for Li Chengqian. The fleet floating on the seaside had nothing to do. Just let them go to the south to grab some precious wood and come back.

And things like masonry and stone are easy to say, when the steam engine starts, just press it directly.
