    Chapter 304: [Father and Son]

    Li Chengqian¡¯s father, mother-in-law and mother-in-law have tried so hard to get Lao Li to agree that he will not spend the activity funds on the East Palace.

    Old Li touched his ears and nodded to Li Chengqian: "That's a good thing."

    Kong Yingda's eyes lit up and he said: "His Royal Highness, what you said is wise. I am still worried that the East Palace does not have enough money. If the national treasury comes to provide this money, it should be enough!"

    Li Chengqian was speechless to this old man. This old man wanted knowledge without money. No matter how much money he spent, as long as he could buy knowledge.

    "By the way, do you know how much money the treasury has?" Li Chengqian asked the old man.

    "Well, I don't know if this old man is not in his position!" Kong Yingda said confused.

    Li Chengqian pinched his fingers and calculated: "There are more than two hundred words, one word is a thousand gold, and it requires two million guan. I'm afraid the money in the treasury is not that much. Even if it is enough, after taking so much money, the treasury will be empty."  If it¡¯s gone, there won¡¯t be any money to use elsewhere, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be good!¡±

    "Uh, uh, uh" Confucius was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by your highness?"

    Li Chengqian coughed and glanced at Old Li above. Seeing Old Li picking up tea and drinking tea leisurely, ignoring Li Chengqian talking to the old man, Li Chengqian knew that Old Li was letting Li Chengqian go to persuade Kong Yingda.

    So Li Chengqian continued to play, saying: "Actually, Master, what I mean is this. The word "qiangjin" is a beautiful thing, but our Pinyin dictionary is a great event that benefits the world and leaves history. How can such a beautiful thing be filled with the stench of copper?  It tastes bad, so I think we can hold an event for a thousand dollars, but we can¡¯t really disgrace the Pinyin dictionary and knowledge by handing out thousands of dollars!¡±

    "If you don't put money in, how can a thousand gold worth be called a thousand gold?" Kong Yingda asked strangely.

    "There are always things in this world that are worth a thousand pieces of gold and are not full of the stench of copper. For example, it will leave a name in history, and it will be recognized by Confucian masters like Confucius. Even Confucius cannot read the words, but the other party can  When you read it out, it¡¯s amazing!¡± Li Chengqian said.

    "oh?"

    "Yes, the first one is that the person who recognizes the calligraphy can get a certificate signed by the great father, as well as the signatures of the Master and several great scholars in Hongwen Hall. The second one is that the other party's  The name will be recorded in the Pinyin dictionary. He will have as many names as the Pinyin dictionary publishes. Everyone who has read the dictionary knows that there is such a great person who has contributed to this dictionary!" Li Chengqian laughed.  He said, "This is a matter of leaving a name in history. I'm afraid no one would be willing to exchange it for me even if I exchanged it for a thousand pieces of gold!"

    The more Kong Yingda listened, the happier he became, and his face turned red with excitement, "This is a good idea, it is more attractive than a thousand pieces of gold, and more knowledgeable people will learn to read!"

    Seeing how quickly he was convinced, Li Chengqian smiled.

    Then he turned around and said to Lao Li: "Father, after discussions between my wife and I, we no longer need so much money to host this event worth a thousand dollars, so I hope that my father can approve the funds for this event."  It comes from the treasury.¡±

    Kong Yingda objected: "Your Highness, didn't you say that a thousand pieces of gold is free of charge? Why do you ask the treasury to pay for it!?"

    Lao Li, who had been drinking tea leisurely just now, put down his tea cup and explained to Confucius: "Kong Aiqing is confused. This activity naturally requires expenses and money. Money is not only used to reward people who can read."  Sir. Okay, Kong Aiqing is tired too, so let¡¯s go down first and I¡¯ll discuss the details with Cheng Qian.¡±

    Li Chengqian nodded to Confucius, with the same intention as Lao Li, asking Confucius to go out.

    "Uh I'll take my leave, old minister." Confucius looked at the father and son resentfully, and then said goodbye.

    After he left, Lao Li snorted and scolded Li Chengqian: "Who told you to say you don't need money in front of Kong Aiqing?"

    "Huh?" Li Chengqian looked at Lao Li. Isn't this the right temper?

    He rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you mean, Father?"

    Lao Li coughed, then straightened his collar, and said seriously: "Actually, it's like this. Didn't I say in Changlepo last time that the polo match should be held again to let the Tubo people see it?  Isn't our polo team in the Tang Dynasty not inferior to that of Tubo? So I want our polo team to perform well, but you have been to so many polo matches, you should know what my Sa Zilu team is like.  Alright?"

    When Li Chengqian saw Lao Li talking about the polo team, he nodded and commented: "I know, father, don't be angry. The Sazilu team is just a word, bad. They are all trying to save your face and let other families  The team gave in and was unbeaten for a long time. However, even if Duobao team wanted to win against Sazilu team, Sazilu team could not.I just don't want to make progress, I just want to take advantage of others!  "

    The corners of Lao Li¡¯s eyes twitched.

    "Father, what's wrong with your eyes?"

    "No." Lao Li waved his hand, then coughed: "So, we can't let the Tubo people see the Sa Zilu team like this"

    "So don't let the Sa Zilu team participate in the competition!" Li Chengqian said to Lao Li.

    Lao Li¡¯s eyes turned white and he said, ¡°Shut up and listen to me.¡±

    Li Chengqian shut up.

    Lao Li took a breath and said: "The Sa Zi Lu team represents me. If I don't participate, how can I let the Tubo people see the glory of the Tang Dynasty? I'm afraid they will laugh. So the Sa Zi Lu team has to participate, and it has to be  Let the Tibetan people see you with your majestic appearance."

    ¡°¡­¡± Li Chengqian looked at Lao Li.

    Lao Li: "Just tell anyone."

    Li Chengqian was finally able to speak: "Then what does this have to do with the funds I want?"

    "Of course it has something to do with it, it's all about money." Lao Li felt that Li Chengqian was finally on his way.

    "money?"

    "Yes, I need money to equip the Sa Zi Lu team, give the Sa Zi Lu team better horses and better conditions, so that they can fight against me." Lao Li felt like he was giving guidance to the country for a while!

    "Father, isn't this Sa Zi Lu team the emperor's team? You still say that the equipment of this Sa Zi Lu team is not good? The conditions are not good? The horses are not good?" Li Chengqian's mouth twitched. Isn't this embarrassing for Lao Li?

    Lao Li waved to Li Chengqian and asked him to come closer. His voice was much lower and he said, "Of course the polo team I raise can meet the basic requirements, but it cannot be compared with the polo teams of other big families!"

    "Why?"

    "Without money, those families can do business privately and receive dividends every year, so they have a lot of money to support the polo team. But my money is all taken from the state, how can I have so much money to support it?"  Li complained softly.

    When Li Chengqian heard this, he understood that Lao Li wanted to raise a polo team. It should be a personal hobby, so he had to use his own money to support it, and naturally he could not use the state's money.  Therefore, compared with the polo team of a big family, it is no longer competitive.

    Lao Li now asked Li Chengqian to come closer and speak, and he spoke so quietly. Li Chengqian understood that he was afraid that he would be laughed at if he spoke too loudly.
