Chang'an City.

late at night.

In the palace.

Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, looked at Li Er curiously, "I wonder what happened to His Majesty Xuanchen entered the palace late at night?"

Li Er stared at Dai Zhou with a bright look and asked, "Dai Aiqing is from Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is rich. However, I have never heard of the power of the Jiangnan Dai family. What is the reason?"

Dai Zhou was so scared that his face was pale: "Your Majesty doesn't know that Dai is in Jiangnan and has few people, so he is not considered a big clan. I am loyal to Your Majesty and have no different intentions. I have been in the court for many years and have taken care of the people in Jiangnan, but I never dare to be favoritism and abuse the law and seek personal gain for the family. Please be aware of your Majesty!"

"Hahaha……"

Li Er suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Dai Aiqing, don't panic. I am not asking for punishment. But there is one thing that I can only rest assured if I leave it to you."

"I dare to ask your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Li Er said seriously: "Dai Aiqing, please calculate for me carefully, how much land, food, land, the rich and the poor are in this world. The faster the time, the better."

Dai Zhou was stunned, "Your Majesty, I will calculate it at least five days."

"Okay, I want to listen to the truth, do you understand? This matter must be kept confidential and you must not disclose the news." Li Er solemnly reminded.

Dai Zhou nodded seriously: "Please rest assured by your Majesty!"

He knew the severity of the matter.

...

The next day.

early morning.

Outside the Ganlu Hall.

Several people gathered.

Sikong Changsun Wuji.

Situ Wang Gui.

The Secretary of the Central Committee Fang Xuanling.

Wei Zheng, the minister and the chief censor.

Changsun Wuji asked curiously: "Today is a rest, why did Your Majesty summon us?"

Wei Zheng looked heavy: "Is something big happening?"

At this moment, the nearby servant Gao Chen walked out and invited everyone in.

Everyone entered the Ganlu Hall with great thoughts, and after entering, they were given seats one after another.

Before everyone could speak, Li Er took the lead and said, "My dear friends, today I have something interesting to you recently, I want you to see it."

Changsun Wuji asked, "I wonder who gave it to Your Majesty what he is?"

Li Er said with a smile: "It's not something, it's the same truth. It's called the wool coming from the dog."

Wool comes from dogs?

Everyone here looked at each other.

Wei Zheng was the first to say: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. As we all know, wool grows on sheep, and dogs can only grow dog hair!"

Wang Gui nodded, "Your Majesty, there must be someone who has ulterior motives and bewitches the emperor's heart. I beg your Majesty to pull him out and chop him up."

Li Er smiled and picked up a inkstone on the table.

This inkstone is Li Er's favorite, and it is said that it was used by the saint of calligraphy Wang Xizhi.

Li Er is a admirer of Wang Xizhi and has collected many works by Wang Xizhi.

Seeing this, everyone showed curiosity.

Li Er handed the inkstone to Gao Chen and said, "You send someone to give this inkstone to a poor family in Chang'an City, and find someone to keep a good eye on it."

"yes!"

Gao Chen turned around and walked out.

Changsun Wuji and others all stared at each other, not knowing what Li Er meant.

Li Er was confident and asked someone to make tea for everyone, and comforted him: "My dear friends, don't be impatient."

Everyone was itchy, but Li Er didn't reveal a word.

Everyone was in a panic.

Until dark.

A eunuch ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Lu is asking for a visit."

After a moment, Cheng Yaojin ran in with a laugh.

He was holding an inkstone in his hand.

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward, rubbed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty loves the things that the old man Wang Xizhi used the most. Today, Old Cheng bought an inkstone at a high price. It is said that it was used by Wang Xizhi. I have found someone to identify it. It is definitely the real thing. I specially presented it to Your Majesty."

Li Er asked someone to take it over, looked carefully, and smiled without saying a word.

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head.

Is this time something wrong?

The last time he presented the jade pendant, he didn't get any benefits. He was unwilling to accept it, so he searched his heart and decided to give it to his preferences, preparing to collect Wang Xizhi's works or used things to please Li Er, but now it seems that Li Er is not very moved.

Li Er turned around and ordered: "Let Gao Chen come in."

Not long after, Gao Chen walked in.

Li Er said: "Gao Chen, let me tell you about what you love today."

Gao Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin with a complicated expression and said, "Yes, Your Majesty... According to Your Majesty's instructions, I will send this inkstone to a family in the west of the city. After the male owner of the family got it, he took it to the pawnshop and served as a ten-minus cent. This ten-minus cent is enough for his family to live for several months... The shopkeeper of the pawnshop was a foreigner. The pawnshop could not be opened anymore. After getting the inkstone, he sold it to a young businessman. His pawnshop was considered to be preserved... The young businessman was originally in love with the daughter of a small official, but the official disagreed. The guy gave the inkstone to the official, and the official immediately agreed to the marriage... The official was aware of the goods and recognized that the inkstone was used by the saint of calligraphy Wang Xizhi. When he heard that Duke Lu was looking for purchases everywhere, he sent someone to marry him to Duke Lu's mansion for 20,000 yuan..."

Everyone understands the rest without Gao Chen’s introduction.

Cheng Yaojin hurried into the palace when he got the inkstone.

The people present were stunned.

Cheng Yaojin felt like he was struck by lightning.

It turns out that this inkstone belongs to Your Majesty!

Then what am I?

A sucker?

Li Er smiled and said, "It seems that this inkstone is of great use. It saves a poor family, saves a businessman's business, and creates a marriage. It's not in vain!"

Wei Zheng suddenly couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "Your Majesty, I understand. This is what Your Majesty said. The wool comes from the dog. A small inkstone has so many uses, and the wool comes from the Duke of Lu in the end."

Everyone suddenly realized!

This sentence is really appropriate.

But Cheng Yaojin was unhappy. He pondered for a while before he came up with the meaning of this sentence. He pointed at Wei Zheng and scolded: "Wei Zheng, who are you calling a dog?"

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Whoever is stupid is a dog!"

"It's outrageous!"

Cheng Yaojin rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight.

Li Er slammed the table and said, "Okay, know the truth. This matter is an experiment I have done to prove this truth."

"snort!"

Cheng Yaojin waved his fist to Wei Zheng and sat down angrily.

Li Er then asked seriously: "My dear friends, you have also seen that the wool comes from the dog. This is the case, but who can understand the truth behind it? I will hear it from other places. After thinking for a few days, I have no clue."

The more Li Er thought about this sentence, the more unfathomable he felt, but he couldn't figure out the truth behind it, and he was embarrassed to put down his figure and ask Chen Chu. So he summoned the important officials in the court and demonstrated it to everyone himself, thinking that someone could solve the puzzle.

But who knew that all the smart people present were confused.

No one has an answer.

The person involved in the two times, Cheng Yaojin, still doesn't know what the situation is. He only knows that he has lost tens of thousands of yuan and has become a dog.

Li Er was very disappointed in the letter!

My civil and military minister is not as good as a rural villager?
