    Chapter 356: [Collect money]

    "Who is it? What are you doing?" Li Chengqian asked the eunuch who was blocking the way.

    "Your Highness, Duke Lu is waiting for you at Ganlu Hall!" the eunuch said.

    "Hey, old man Cheng actually ran to Ganlu Hall.  It seems that he has no less thoughts than Li Chengqian.

    "Okay." Li Chengqian nodded and followed the eunuch to the Manlu Palace.

    When they arrived at Ganlu Hall, Mr. Cheng was talking to Lao Li. When he saw Li Chengqian coming, he quickly pulled Li Chengqian over and said, "Your Highness, all the money is here. Check it out."

    Li Chengqian took a look at his carriage. There were boxes on all four carriages. It looked like there was a lot of money!

    Li Chengqian is not an expert at counting money, so he needs to find an expert to count money.

    So he called Maitreya Buddha again.

    After Maitreya counted all the money and determined that it was four hundred guan, Li Chengqian wrote a receipt to Mr. Cheng in front of Lao Li.

    After asking the imperial guards to bring the money, Li Chengqian went to Hanliang Hall.

    When they arrived at Hanliang Hall, the queen came out and took one look at the four carriages, then narrowed her eyes and said, "This is the wrong amount of money!"

    "Hey, Queen Mother, this is what happened!" Li Chengqian told the Queen about the plan to share the spoils with Mr. Cheng, and then said with a bitter face: "The money I can get out of the East Palace now is only one hundred.  Duo Guan, if we take out these more than one hundred guan, wouldn¡¯t my East Palace have no money? Wouldn¡¯t the big East Palace be nothing? So I want to discuss this with my mother, can I say this verbally first?  The money has already come to you. After the bet is over, will you use it to divide the spoils?"

    The queen rolled her eyes at Li Chengqian, waved her sleeves, and walked inside.

    And a maid next to the queen waved the eunuchs to push these carriages to a warehouse.

    Li Chengqian followed the queen into the palace, and suddenly saw three strange maids in the palace, and they were doing very strange things.

    Li Chengqian took a closer look, hey, aren¡¯t these the three Tubo girls?

    They have now taken off their short-sleeved fur clothes and put on the clothes of the palace ladies of the Tang Dynasty.  Standing there in a row, holding a tea tray with tea cups on it.  They just stood there, looking straight in the eyes, motionless.

    If Li Chengqian hadn¡¯t seen the plateau red cheeks on their faces, he wouldn¡¯t have recognized them.

    The queen glanced at them lightly, and they immediately trembled. It seemed that they were very afraid of the queen, and they were afraid to a terrifying degree.

    "Stand up straight." The queen said calmly.

    They heard it.  Straighten your waist immediately.

    The queen walked in without looking at them.  Sitting on the couch.

    "Mother, what are you doing?" Li Chengqian pointed at them and asked.

    The queen rolled her eyes at him and asked: "What, which one do you like? The queen mother arranged for you?"

    "Don't!" Li Chengqian waved his hand.

    Afraid that the queen would continue to give him women, Li Chengqian hurriedly intervened and asked: "Queen mother, this money matter. Do you agree?"

    The Queen took a leisurely sip of tea before saying, "You can talk to Mr. Cheng to discuss sharing the bet. Why didn't you think of looking for the Queen Mother?"

    "Well?"

    "My mother is also a good bettor, let alone this bet with Tubo!" the queen said.  There was obvious dissatisfaction with Li Chengqian in his tone.

    Li Chengqian said embarrassedly: "I"

    "Okay, I know you are unintentional. It doesn't matter how much money you have to bet with someone who is the prime minister of a country. But now it's okay to ask your mother to share a share later!" said the Queen.

    Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this.

    "How much does the mother-in-law want?" Li Chengqian asked.

    The queen looked at Li Chengqian indifferently.

    Li Chengqian thought to himself.  This queen is really a good mother. She must have seen that the East Palace had no money and could only contribute 10%, so she wanted to cover the remaining 50%.  But I heard the queen say this!

    "One percent." said the queen.

    "Oh, I want to give you 10%, just as I thought." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

    "10% for me, 50% for you." The Queen smiled.

    "Huh?" Li Chengqian was stunned.

    When the queen saw the three Tibetan girls over there, she said dissatisfiedly: "This Orchid is just different from our Central Plains women. They are not easy to teach at all. They don't even understand the etiquette and don't even have the stamina. It's really annoying!"  "

    When the Tubo girl heard what the queen said, she was so frightened that her body trembled.??Stand up quickly.

    "Mother, let's talk about the 50% first. Did you make a mistake?" Li Chengqian said hopefully.

    The queen waved her hand and said: "I will only contribute 10%, and I won't let you default on the rest. Go and collect the money!"

    Li Chengqian was desperate.

    The Queen also added: "Don't take all the money from the East Palace, otherwise Xiaogu and Youhe will drink and eat."

    Then, wouldn¡¯t the money be even less?

    "Of course, if you can get other partners, that's fine." The queen reminded again.

    When Li Chengqian heard this, it seemed that this was the last possible solution.

    After leaving the Hanliang Palace, Li Chengqian first looked pitifully at the three Tibetan girls who were dragged to be trained by the Queen, but when he thought about it again, wasn't he also being dragged to be trained by the Queen?

    He hurried to the East Palace and discussed with Su Mi and Xiao Chen.

    Xiao Chen said: "Your Highness, can you go to the hospital to transfer some money for use first? The money there is all in reserve. Don't worry, it's okay to take out 500 yuan!"

    When Li Chengqian heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, you go to the hospital and move out."

    As he spoke, he also wrote a note and asked her to take it to Maitreya Buddha.

    Xiao Chen went away for a long time, and when he came back his face was a little pale. The first thing he said was: "The queen has given an order not to touch the hospital's money."

    Li Chengqian was stunned and said, "Why is this queen blocking my way out? What is her intention?"

    Su Mi thought for a while and said, "The Queen Mother probably wants to train Your Highness."

    Regardless of whether it is true or not, Li Chengqian must find a way to get the money together at this time.

    "Let's go and cover Chongwen Palace!" Li Chengqian said.

    He rushed to Chongwen Hall and went in to find Confucius.

    "Master, have you received the queen's order?" Li Chengqian asked first.

    Kong Yingda was stunned: "What did His Highness say? Did the Queen give me an order?"

    Li Chengqian was overjoyed and said: "There is no best, haha Master, I have something to ask you!"

    Kong Yingda put down what he was doing and asked, "What's the matter? Your Highness, please speak up!"

    Kong Yingda is a passionate and patriotic person. When he heard that Li Chengqian made a bet with the Prime Minister of Tibet to gain face for the country, he immediately expressed his support. When Li Chengqian proposed to embezzle public funds for printing dictionaries first, Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment.

    "Your Highness, a lot of money has been spent on this. The printing is about to start, and it also costs money. I have more than three hundred dollars left, and I can't spare much money for Your Highness. Seeing that Your Highness is so patriotic, I can only  I can draw a hundred strings for His Highness!" Kong Yingda said.

    "Isn't it more than three hundred? Then take three hundred strings first, in round numbers!" Li Chengqian raised three fingers.
