Gold!

A box of gold!

None of the people who can enter the horse farm are short of money. At the invitation of Cheng Yaojin, it can be said that most of the people in Chang'an City have come, and there are no ones who have lost money, but this is the first time most people have seen so much gold.

It's so beautiful! It's really beautiful!

What is the ray of rays and thousands of auspicious colors? Isn’t the brilliance reflected by the golden cake perfectly interpreting this sentence?

Wang Pu's eyes were pricked by the light, and shed tears. He quickly raised his hand to wipe it, but Li Mu said, "It's not that, isn't it just a loss? Isn't it just a 2,000 guan? Isn't it just a challenge to me and show off my power? What a big deal? As for crying? Alas, at such an old age, I'm still like a child, which is really embarrassing? Okay, I can cry a few times, why don't I give you some... three guan? Five guan is OK..."

The sound was heard through the amplification device, and everyone inside and outside the venue heard it. The people in the venue knew what was going on, but the people outside the venue didn't know it. They all thought that Wang Pu really lost because of a bet and started crying, and suddenly they coaxed.

In Chang'an City, most people in Guanzhong are. Guanzhong people are heroic and like heroes. It's a very normal thing to make a bet. A real man can afford to lose and cry when he loses. What is this? It's a shame.

Wang Pu quickly wiped away his tears and pointed at Li Mu and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't cry. I am, I am..." Wang Pu looked at the box of gold and was stuttering and couldn't speak. How to say it? Could it be that I was flashed by your gold? Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing!

Li Mu laughed and said, "Why don't you talk anymore? Wang Pu, a son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the younger brother of the prime minister Wang Gui, can easily take out two thousand guan to buy horses, how can he express so much?"

Wang Pu only felt his anger rushing upwards, his forehead was full of blue veins, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Whether you are so clumsy to express yourself, what does it have to do with you? Your gold is unknown. I want to go to the government to report you!"

Li Mu's expression gradually became colder and said, "Why did you report this marquis? I made a bet with you, 5,000 guan to buy this horse. Now I have taken out the money. Here is 500 taels of gold, worth 5,000 guan, right? You can't sue me just because you lost the bet."

Wang Pu said angrily: "You are not strong enough to win. You are talking about five thousand guan of money, but you are taking gold!"

"Isn't gold money?"

"Gold, gold..." Wang Pu was so choked that he couldn't speak. Is gold not money? Gold is indeed money, but it is not money in common sense. There is no place to spend gold in the east and west cities of Chang'an! This is just like someone in later generations who wanted to buy a toothpick and had to get a whole banknote of 100 yuan. It cannot be said that he was illegal, but if he did this, most people would think that this person had something wrong.

Wang Pu decided not to be entangled with Li Mu, and asked, "As the world knows, gold is a rare thing. Why can you have as much as 500 taels? I think your gold is unknown, so I have to report to the official position, isn't it possible?"

"Just! If you have five hundred taels of gold, you will be the right way. If you have five hundred taels of gold, you will be the unknown way? What's the reason!"

Wang Pu was so angry that he had smoked his orifices. He had forgotten his brother's instructions and the amplifier device beside him. He said angrily: "How do you compare with me? I am a child of the Wang family in Taiyuan. With the words "Taiyuan Wang family", people will believe that I have this money. What are you? The neighbors, if you are lucky enough to be favored, you will be arrogant! Do you also have five hundred taels of gold?"

"Hahaha!" Li Mu laughed three times. When Li Shimin heard this, he glared at Wang Gui with laughter and tears. Li Shimin was so familiar with these three laughs. After several imperial preludes, Li Mu would start attacking every time he finished these three laughs.

Sure enough, Li Mu said, "Everyone in the world said that the family of the world has five surnames and seven hopes. In my opinion, from today on, the Wang family in Taiyuan can be removed from the list!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was upset. Wang Pu was so angry that his voice trembled, and he pointed at Li Mu and said, "You, how dare you insult my Wang family in Taiyuan!"

"No, how can I say that I am insulting you, the Wang family in Taiyuan? It was you who insulted yourself!" After Li Mu said that, he did not give Wang Pu a chance to fight back, and said in a row: "I never expected that just five hundred taels of gold would make you so surprised, as the brother of the prime minister and Wang family in Taiyuan, who would still report to the official position? Be like a frog in the well!"

"You have a saying that I am right. My lord's border is not like your family background. However, there is a wise ruler in the world who knows people well and is good at responsibilities. With Your Majesty's trust, I have appointed me to serve in the Ministry of Works. Your Majesty's employment is unquestionable, so I can perform it. Therefore, there are horseshoes, printing techniques, Zhenguan plows. Making money is a small path. It is just that I am loyal to the country, seeking blessings for the people, and repaying Your Majesty's kindness, and doing it in my spare time is not enough to praise it. But since you want to know the source of the gold, I can't say anything about it."

"When I was a doctor at the Ministry of Works, I promoted the reform of the Ministry of Works. In addition to satisfying the national corvee service, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works can make money under the organization of the Ministry of Works. Some of the profits will be paid to the Ministry of Works to uniformly allocate them, and some of the craftsmen will be content with their own benefit. This move can improve the life of the craftsmen, and the second is to increase the cost of the Ministry of Works, and avoid applying for the treasury. Your Majesty appreciates it very much and orders me to promote it."

"A wealthy man from Longxi found my marquis and took out 1,000 taels of gold as a fee. He asked the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to build a building in Chongrenfang, and set up a tall building, called the Heaven and Earth. These golds are half of them. My marquis gave his own money to the craftsmen in exchange for these gold. Fortunately, you came from the Wang family of Taiyuan and had never seen only 500 taels of gold. Isn't it ridiculous to have such a shallow experience? In this way, compared with the rich man of Longxi who found my marquis, the highest level is immediately seen. Do you feel wronged by saying that you have brought shame on yourself?"

"Where did the wealthy people in Longxi come from? How dare they compare with my Taiyuan Wang family? Please ask him to come out!"

Li Mu sneered and said, "Shu Benhou said bluntly that this wealthy rich man in Longxi is not qualified to meet you. Even if you are the master of the Wang Valve, you must salute him first. Are you..." Li Mu looked up and down at Wang Pu, shook his head, and said contemptuously: "You are like a cattle and a horse in front of him, and you are worthy of mentioning the word "see"?"

Wang Pu was completely crazy and shouted hysterically: "Li Mu! You dare to insult me ​​like this in Taiyuan Wang family, compare me to a livestock, wait for me, and give me the rich man in Longxi..." Wang Pu wanted to say something again, suddenly his mouth was covered. Wang Pu turned his head to see that it was Wang Gui. Wang Pu struggled hard, but Wang Gui was not strong enough, and quickly shouted: "Come on, take this bastard away for me, locked up in the mansion, and you are not allowed to go out!"

"Marquis Zhulu, I apologize on behalf of my younger brother! I have spoken wildly and have lost all my face in Taiyuan Wang. I will criticize him greatly. Please don't be surprised by Zhulu."

When Li Mu saw Wang Gui, his mind moved for a moment and did not continue to sarcasm. As the prime minister, Wang Gui apologized in such a low manner, which was already enough face. Today, Wang Pu's face was lost, and he could no longer offend Wang Gui and make a mortal hatred.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Mr. Shizhong is indeed a famous official. This is the style of a noble family in my heart. I just called Ling's brother Niu and Horse, so please don't mind it. I am like a ox and horse. I am the ox of the common people, and your majesty's thousand-mile horse. I am the big ox and horse, and I am the little ox and horse. Everyone is a ox and horse, and the difference is not very big."
