Chapter 28 Where does the money come from?
The financial situation of Donggong has been poor in recent years, and Li Chengqian was not good at management and spent a lot of money at every turn, so he could only live by borrowing money.
Li Xiang had known for a long time that Li Chengqian's life was difficult, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big hole. Some of it belonged to banks in the capital, and some owed money to some private individuals. He didn't know how Li Chengqian lived before.
Redemption completed!
Hearing the sound of the system, Li Xiang knew that the exchange had been completed. Just now, Li Xiang used the gift he had sent before to exchange for five thousand coins.
The IOU here must be at least 10,000 yuan. Li Xiang cannot repay it all at once. If he repays it all at once, it will be difficult to deal with Li Chengqian if he asks for help in the future.
"Prince?"
Qian Ping came back with the brocade box.
Li Chengqian was already going to rest, but when he saw this brocade box, he felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that this guy sent it back to me intact again? I just bowed my head in front of so many people, why don't you help me solve some of my financial difficulties?
When he was at the gate of the East Palace just now, Li Chengqian saw several unfamiliar faces, and naturally knew that these were the people raised by his son. If you had no money, how did you raise these people?
"I said that little brat won't care about this. Prince, if you still don't believe me, I'd better write a letter and ask my father to help us. But my father has always helped us over the years, and this hole is not small. , I also dealt with Hou Er a few days ago. If my father is allowed to take money again, I'm afraid the prince himself..."
When Crown Princess Hou saw the box, she thought that Li Xiang had returned it intact, and she immediately straightened her back. Her natal family was rich, and they had helped the East Palace a lot over the years. If her natal family hadn't given her the money, Li Chengqian would have My life has long been unbearable.
After hearing what the Crown Princess said, Li Chengqian instinctively wanted to get angry, but he suppressed his work. Now except Hou Junji, I'm afraid he can't get money from anywhere else. It seems that he really wants to Bowed.
Just when Li Chengqian was about to give in, the door of the main hall opened. There were more than a dozen young eunuchs outside, carrying boxes one after another, filled with money.
Five thousand guan is not a small amount...
this…
The Crown Princess was also frightened by the situation in front of her. To say that the Crown Princess was from a noble family, seeing this little money was nothing, but the question was, taking it out of Li Xiang's hands, how did this kid earn money before?
Even if Hou Junji helped his daughter, it would only be from 500 to 1,000 guan each time, and he never took out 5,000 guan at once.
"Prince, His Highness said that because he has to cooperate with his uncle to make money recently, he has to leave part of the capital. The only way is to pay back this part first, and then get the rest in batches after the liquor goes on sale."
Qian Pingyuan was a neutral when he came here and would not take sides casually, but now he knows which way to lean his butt.
"well……"
Li Chengqian can no longer speak. He has never worried about money in the past. Anyway, when he runs out of money, he just asks someone to borrow it. With his name as the prince, he can get some money from someone's house, but now It's different. He already has hope of coming back. He can't break the pot, so these accounts must be cleared.
There was definitely no way he could survive on his own, so he thought about asking Li Xiang to help, but he didn't think about how much Li Xiang could come up with. A few hundred dollars would be enough, so he could get over the immediate trouble first. Go, but who knew that Li Xiang actually took out five thousand strings.
"Send a thousand coins to the Hou family. I won't be going there in the near future. You go tell Hou Junji and I will make my own arrangements for the remaining money."
After Li Chengqian stood up, he looked at the princess with some contempt.
Even if you are short of money, you will never owe your mother's family money. In the past, Li Chengqian wanted to win over Hou Junji. After all, among Li Shimin's old ministers, Hou Junji was the only one who stood in line. But now the more he looks at their family, The more unpleasant it is.
"Your Majesty, what's for dinner today?"
Just at this moment the little eunuch came in.
"Put it in Liu's house."
The prince Li Chengqian has always liked the new and dislikes the old when it comes to women. He eats by himself most of the time, and spends a few days with the princess. After all, he still has to take Hou Junji's opinion into consideration.
But now there is no need for acting. If there is a woman who needs to be currying favor with, it is Li Xiang's mother Liu, not you, the crown princess who is always looking for trouble.
Seeing Li Chengqian leave, the princess gritted her teeth.
She has always used her family's power and money to win over the prince, almost managing the entire East Palace like an iron bucket, but now Li Xiang has torn a hole in the most important place, including the eunuchs and guards of the East Palace. It felt like the Crown Princess was a little out of control of the situation.
"Hasn't there been any reply from father?"
After the prince left, the princess sat on the futon angrily.
"Replying to your Majesty, I sent someone to tell you that Li Xiang is currently in the limelight and it is not appropriate to take action."
The servant next to him also had a bitter look on his face. Although Hou Er had been dealt with, there were still many natal family members around the Crown Princess. This was something the Crown Princess managed to save. At that time, she used money to suppress Li Chengqian and let Li Chengqian give to Dali. The man from the temple said something.
But if a similar situation happens next time, I'm afraid Li Chengqian won't talk too much.
"Where's that bitch?"
Since she couldn't make a fuss about Li Xiang, the princess decided to focus on Liu.
"When we return to our parents' home, I sent someone to check it out. Liu's place has a few more guards. These people are bright-eyed and they are definitely not from our East Palace. It is difficult to find an opportunity to take action at the moment."
It is a very normal thing for several concubines to die in the palace. Similar things have happened in any palace, so the Crown Princess also wants to do this. As long as it is done properly, no one will find the evidence. , but now I don’t even have a chance to make a move.
"This little beast is really good at hiding things. For so many years, I haven't noticed at all how much money is needed to develop such a big power. Where does he get his money?"
The Crown Princess murmured to herself. She also knew that the people below could not answer. After all, even she was deceived, let alone these people below.
Li Xiang also knows that many people will doubt the source of the money, so at this moment Li Xiang is already intensifying his planning in his room...
