Chapter 591 Miser - Three Fatty
Things that seem unfair actually have their inevitability in many cases, and favored officials and important officials did not only exist in the Zhenguan period.
Moreover, Li Er did not only favor Li Muyun. In fact, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and others were all favorite ministers. These people basically made big mistakes without making small mistakes, and they had the role of sharing the firepower behind Li Shimin.
Li Muyun was no exception. In the eyes of the ministers in the court, his popularity was almost surpassed by Changsun Wuji.
First of all, he snatched the daughter-in-law who originally belonged to Changsun Wuji, that is, Changle. Although it has not been confirmed yet, it is not certain that Li Shimin is swaying left and right, which means that this person's status is basically equivalent to that of the old Changsun.
In addition, naturally, when Li Muyun appeared in everyone's sight, the word "trouble" was engraved on his forehead. He first killed the Minister of Justice, then raised private soldiers, and then killed the guards of the Tubo envoys. Now he kidnapped the Japanese princess and blackmailed the ransom, one after another, which was outrageous.
But even so, Li Shimin still fought for him. Although Li Muyun's salary had been deducted for thirty years, it was not a big deal for him. After all, when he arrived at their position, few people would care about that little salary.
The above is nothing. After spending a long time in the court, basically everyone knows that what really makes them wonder is why the Japanese people stopped. Judging from the situation when they almost rang to beat the drum yesterday, it should not be so easy to calm down.
In Chang'an Inn, in the Japanese's private courtyard, the Sky-Eye Princess who had been resting overnight cheered up and called several of her close friends to her. Seeing their slightly dissatisfied appearance, she smiled and said, "The weapon matter has been resolved!"
"What?" Shanshan was slightly surprised and could hardly believe his ears.
"I have reached an agreement with Li Muyun. It won't be long before the first batch of weapons will be shipped to Dengzhou, so we must set off and return home as soon as possible." The tone of the Heavenly Eye Princess's tone was very relaxed, making people unsurprising.
"Your Highness, what's going on? Can you tell me?" A little old man twitched the corner of his mouth, similar to a mid-stage cerebral thrombosis patient. I don't know if he was excited or he was sick.
The princess of the Heavenly Eye smiled proudly and did not hide it anymore: "Everything yesterday was just used to cover up the eyes. After all, if we directly gave 50,000 taels of gold to Li Muyun, it would be very likely to attract the attention of those who were interested, but if we sent it in the name of ransom, it would be much better."
It's concealing? In other words, everything that happened yesterday was acting? The confidants of the Sky-Eyed Princess were all stunned and never expected that things would develop like this.
But when they thought about it again, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this. They successfully concealed it from everyone and avoided the dispute caused by publicly buying weapons from the Tang Dynasty. As for how Li Muyun would explain this to the Tang Dynasty or the emperor in the future, it was not their concern.
In the manor outside the city, the three fat men looked at the small pile of gold in front of them with some pain, muttering with words.
Yes, it is indeed a small pile. Ten thousand taels of gold sounds like a lot, but it is indeed not much piled together.
At this time, Mu Yu came out of the room and shouted to him from afar: "Three Brother, what are you nagging there! It's time for dinner."
"I'm not full!" The three fat man didn't reply, and responded casually without expressing his words, and then focused his attention on the small pile of gold. In the fat man's opinion, the yellow light was so tempting, but some people were so cowardly, and they even gave it to others 80% without even saying the price.
Li Muyun stood at the door holding the bowl, looking at the half-crazy fat man and shouted: "Fatty, if you are really not hungry, take out five thousand taels from it and send it to Changsun Wuji, telling him that they are all used to buy second-class knives and long arrows, and he will do the number."
The fat man jumped up from the ground like a cat with a trampled tail and shouted at the top of his voice: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I won't go! I finally got some gold back, so you're so generous that you'll give it to everyone at once."
Li Muyun looked at the fat man with a giggle and laughter. He really didn't understand why he became friends with such a wealthy person. Don't he know the reason why he has the fate to make money or not? Besides, even if the money is given to others, it is his own. What does it have to do with this fat man? He can still be so righteous.
Seeing that Li Muyun didn't say anything anymore, the three fat men stood at the door and looked at him. After hesitating for a moment, they ran to him and begged: "Muyun, I beg you, can we keep this money?"
"Okay!" Li Muyun nodded, took a bite of rice into his mouth, and muttered: "In that case, you will need to get 50,000 stag of copper coins to send to Changsun Wuji. The things you want to buy are still the same. Just send them to Dengzhou Prefecture when the goods are ready."
The fat man was very happy when he saw Li Muyun agreeing, but after hearing what he said later, he became depressed. He sat on the ground and said with a frown: "Why are you like this? Are you a prodigal? Why do you care about those Japanese people? Anyway, this money is the money used by the Japanese women to redeem themselves. Why do you really get her weapons and equipment?"
"Because you have to keep your promises, you must do what you promised." Li Muyun kicked the fat man on the butt and cursed: "Get up and work quickly. If things are delayed, be careful not to beat you."
"I won't go to beat me up. Your father told me to take good care of you back then. I just can't agree to you now being so spendthy." The fat man stubbornly, looking like he would rather die than surrender, and even brought up Li Muyun's dead man to tell me.
Li Muyun almost got angry by the fat man, but after thinking about it, he still gave up the idea of beating someone.
For this brother who has been playing with him since childhood, Li Muyun still has a lot of things to do in the future. It wouldn't be a big deal if this guy has been so greedy for money.
So Li Muyun sighed and sat next to the fat man, poked him with his elbow and said, "Do you still remember what happened when we were young?"
"Which one?" the fat man turned his head and asked.
"It's about making money." Li Muyun said.
The fat man twisted his butt: "Of course I remember that you want to live in a big house and live a life of having clothes and food, but your goal has been achieved now, what else do you want."
"What about yours?"
"My dream is to sleep in a room made of gold. When I open my eyes in the morning, my eyes are full of golden colors..." The fat man said in a daze, and finally sighed: "But there is nothing to say now. With your spendthrift personality, I guess there is no hope in this life."
