Chapter 700: Scattering Money

Li Chongjiu shouted, other people naturally knew what to do, Prince Cheng hurriedly let his grandson Li Bowen rush back first, to make preparations, now it is early in the morning, the people may not necessarily go out of the house, if Li Chongjiu enters the city, can not see the warmest welcome, who knows what this prince will think, maybe he will blame him, the prince of Taiyuan, did not educate the people of Taiyuan well, this black pot can not be carried.

Li Bowen listened to his grandfather's words, lowered his voice, and said with some embarrassment: "Grandfather, if the people only care about their own livelihood and refuse to come to the street to cheer, what should they do?" ”

The people are not soldiers, as long as the general gives an order, they will put down their work to welcome, the people also want to eat, the day is in the morning, the board will not put down the business, the land should also work in the field, Taiyuan City is not as many idlers as Chang'an, specifically to see the excitement for the pleasure of life.

Prince Cheng glared at his grandson, first scolded the stupid man in his heart, and then said: "Let people go into the city to shout, whoever comes to the city gate to greet them, each person will give ten copper coins, as long as the prince does not hear the shout, is it possible that he will investigate afterwards!" ”

"I'm afraid ten copper coins can't call many people!" Li Bowen only felt that this task was too arduous.

"That's twenty wen. Hmph, Hugh underestimates this little money, let alone give it to twenty wen, even if you sue them to buy something, it will be cheaper for two cents, or you only need an egg for a white-collar worker, believe it or not, the team that receives the egg will line up from the city gate to the gate of our palace! Prince Cheng waved his hand impatiently and sent Li Bowen to leave quickly, not to waste time.

Li Bowen had no choice but to fly into the city, and when he ran into the city gate with a group of palace guards, he shouted to the people on the street: "Our army has won a great victory, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the army back to the city, and returned triumphantly, who will welcome His Royal Highness the Prince." Twenty cents per person! ”

When the people on the street heard this, many people shouted, great, very good, the prince is heroic, but after shouting nonsense, what should he do, only a few people came around, it seems that the effect of rewarding twenty wen is really not good.

Li Bowen was very anxious, he wanted to add money. Just as he was about to shout, he suddenly heard a voice behind him say: "Little prince, if you want to gather people, it is enough to reward twenty wen, but the question is how to get these twenty wen, who came and who didn't, this is impossible to determine, and where to get the money, will you not get the money." What should the person who has received the money do if he comes to receive it again? Let's say someone has received money, but that person hasn't. Although twenty is not much, no matter who suffers this small loss, they will no longer trust you, little prince, in the future, and even the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be damaged! ”

The voice spoke extremely quickly. But the words were clear, Li Bowen looked back and saw that it was Li Mofeng. I don't know how this man got into his palace guards. But listening to Li Mofeng's words, this son of a little nobleman still seems to be very smart, and he can think things clearly in an instant.

"Are the people afraid that we will pay our debts, or are they afraid of trouble?" Li Bowen didn't figure this out.

Li Mofeng is not a mother-in-law, he has always been the most observant, and good at sycophancy, although he is a small nobleman, but he knows that Li Chongjiu will lose, and he will definitely not be able to beat Yang Ze, but last night he found that Yang Ze's army was vulnerable, so he quickly changed his strategy, and began to think about the prince Li Chongjiu, and also took the initiative to unite to Li Bowen's side, after all, it is much simpler to get close to Li Bowen than to get close to Li Chongjiu.

Li Mofeng didn't explain the debts or trouble, he just said: "As long as you tell the people, when His Royal Highness the Prince returns triumphantly, he will throw money at everyone to celebrate, then it is estimated that the people of the whole city will come." There is no need to talk about the numbers, the people may not necessarily grab money when they come, but if they can't grab it, they don't have the ability to rob it, and they won't grab much, we can not only save money, but also let more people come, please think about it. ”

Li Bowen's eyes lit up and said: "This is a good idea, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like it, what if he doesn't like to throw money at the people?" ”

"Then there is no need for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spill, naturally there are countless people who are willing to serve His Royal Highness the Prince, such as the little prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be angry because you throw money in his name." Li Mo sealed.

In fact, Li Mofeng looks down on Li Bowen and Li Bozhi, thinking that these two little princes are just a good fetus, if he was born in Prince Cheng's Mansion or Jingde County Palace, then he must be more effective than them, but it's a pity that his reincarnation skills are not so good.

Li Bowen listened to Li Mofeng's words, nodded again and again, and said, "This is very easy, come here!" ”

He called two palace guards and said, "Go back to the palace to get money, take ten baskets of money, and ask for that kind of new money, the brighter the better, and then carry it to the city gate openly, so that the people of the whole city can see it, go and do it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will soon enter the city!" ”

These two palace guards have been by Li Chongjiu's side just now, what Li Mofeng said, of course they both heard it, not only Li Chongjiu thought this idea was good, even they both thought it was a very good idea, and even they wanted to wait on the street to grab money, but now they have a better errand, which is to send money!

The two palace guards rode towards the palace, and one of the guards said, "When the money is scattered, let's stuff more into our pockets, and no one will know anyway." ”

"Phew, look at your little bit of talent, even if you put money in your pocket, how much can you hold, and you can still make a fortune, that's copper coins, not gold melon seeds." The other guard was very disdainful.

The previous guard sighed and said: "Then what do you say, scatter money, scatter it to the people, but you can't get much, I feel sorry for the little prince, it's better to give us more rewards!" ”

The other guard looked back, and he couldn't see Li Bowen for a long time, so he said: "Just carry a basket of money into our house, anyway, it's messy for a while, and no one will notice, at most I will tell the housekeeper that the more money, the better, is it possible that the housekeeper will really only prepare ten baskets, maybe there will be several more baskets!" ”

"It makes sense, or brother, you are smart!"

Li Bowen lightly clamped his mount, and he shouted on the street: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned triumphantly, loaded money in a basket, and scattered Taiyuan." How many can the old folks pick up, each with their own ability! ”

The palace guards behind him also dispersed, and the streets and alleys began to shout, and the people who heard the shouting were no longer indifferent, even if the people from well-off families heard this, they were also a little moved, and there was a good opportunity to pick up money, so if you don't miss it, of course, don't miss it.

As for the poor people who did not have overnight bread. It is even more joyful, there is a good thing to pick up money for nothing, this is unprecedented, if the prince Li Chongjiu can really throw money for the people to pick up, then shout him 10,000 long live the prince, it's nothing, anyway, shouting only takes saliva, but it can make money!

Huhulala, there is no need for the palace guards to run all over the street. And the people began to run to tell each other, and hundreds of them gathered together and hurried to the gate of the city.

Li Chongjiu looked at more and more people and was extremely surprised. He said to Li Mofeng: "You are really smart, well, Mo Fengxian's nephew, we will be closer and closer in the future." If you don't dislike it, you might as well go into the palace and do things! ”

After thinking about it, he felt that Li Mofeng should be allowed to enter the palace to do things. It's a bit overkill, he hurriedly added a sentence, and said: "It's up to someone to recommend you, let you enter the Left-behind Mansion, and work by the side of His Royal Highness the Prince, if it is developed in the future, we can take care of each other." ”

Li Mofeng was overjoyed, isn't this what he wants, I didn't expect Li Bowen to be really interesting, although he is a distant relative of Wufu, but with Li Bowen's willingness to recommend his cousin, this can be regarded as a real relative!

Li Mofeng thanked him repeatedly, and slapped Li Bowen wildly, Li Bowen was very happy to hear it, and he felt that Li Mofeng was a talent.

At this moment, the people on the street at the gate of the city have gathered at least thirty or forty thousand people, and there are still people rushing to this side, when a team of palace guards, driving several carriages over, the crowd directly erupted into earth-shaking cheers, because the people saw that each cart was loaded with two or three large baskets, and the baskets were full of copper coins, and the copper coins glowed golden in the sunlight.

Even some people wanted to squeeze in front of the cart, wanting to grab some copper coins in advance, but were driven away by the palace guards with horsewhips, the cart passed through the crowd, and slowly walked to the city gate, many people's eyes were red, so much money, it should be enough to pick up, as long as it can be squeezed to the front!

Let's say that Li Chongjiu returned with the army, and more than a hundred Jin Wu soldiers followed behind his horse, and then there were the big and small lords of Taiyuan, and finally the Taiyuan soldiers of the brigade.

Before he could cross the moat, he heard cheers erupt in the city, and Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "It seems that the people know about it, and they have all come to greet Gu!" ”

"Yes, the people like to win battles, especially the victories led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wu Youren hurriedly slapped a sycophant!

The two princes who followed behind, as well as those lords, nodded again and again, saying that if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lead the troops to fight, how could they have won such a big victory, and even the flag of the first fierce general under Yang Ze was obtained.

In fact, Li Chongjiu didn't participate in the battle at all, let alone command, when he heard that Du Da chin led the troops out to rob the camp, he almost didn't pee his pants in fright, he was scared stupid, but at this time, Li Bowen felt that this battle was commanded by himself, without him, there would be no victory, he was patted on the back, touted to the point that he even believed in it, this can be regarded as a spiritual victory method.

Stepping on the moat, suddenly there were cheers in the city again, and Li Chongjiu was even more happy, he saw Li Bowen coming out of the city gate.

Li Bowen approached and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it is better to be happy alone, it is better to be happy with everyone, the people of Taiyuan can be used, it is better to reward the people with some small money when rewarding the merits of the army!" ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay, then reward the people with some money!" "Anyway, the money is not from him, of course he is not distressed, how can the prince care about a little money.

Prince Cheng glanced at Li Bowen, nodded again and again, and thought: "My eldest grandson is still very good at doing things, better than his father." Well, it's time for my sons and grandchildren to call them back and do something for the family. ”

Prince Cheng thought of this, so he called the king of Jingdejun, and whispered his thoughts, the king of Jingde nodded again and again, he also had this idea, and also wanted his children and grandchildren to come back, he didn't dare to move such an idea before, because he was worried that Li Chongjiu would fail, and even if Li Chongjiu and Yang Ze were evenly matched, he was afraid that Li Chongjiu would let their children and grandchildren take the lead, wouldn't it be bad, but now that Yang Ze is found to be a paper tiger, there is nothing to be afraid of, maybe it won't be long before Yang Ze will be defeated, so as to do it, Let their children and grandchildren come back as soon as possible and stand in Li Chongjiu's team, so that they can reap the most benefits.

Both of them made up their minds that they would immediately let their children and grandchildren return to the family, and they couldn't delay any longer, lest they be too late and not be able to enter Li Chongjiu's core ministers.

As soon as Li Chongjiu entered the city with the Jin Wu Army, he saw countless people cheering at them on the side of the road, and its excitement was far greater than last time, Li Chongjiu was immediately drunk again, and he had a tendency to be addicted to the cheers of the people, especially when he liked the people to shout long live him.

Li Chongjiu saw those big cars, as well as the golden copper coins on the cars, and he thought to himself: "How is this money issued, is it for the people to come forward one by one to receive it, just like queuing up to buy things?" ”

In the past, he rarely left the manor of Chang'an, although he lived outside Chang'an City, but when he entered the city, he rarely entered the city, and occasionally entered the city, but also walked around the streets, and he had seen people buy things, such as queuing up when buying food, in his cognition, the same is true for money!

Who knows, Li Bowen looked at Li Mofeng, Li Mofeng immediately hit the horse to the side of the cart, scooped up a handful of copper coins from the big basket, and threw it to the surrounding people, shouting: "Thank Your Royal Highness Prince Xie for reward!" ”

The people slammed to the ground, squeezed forward together, desperately grabbing money, although it was only copper money, no matter how desperately they grabbed a few, but the people were still very enthusiastic, after all, this kind of good thing of throwing money can almost be said to be a hundred years old, finally they encountered it once, can they not rob it!

Li Chongjiu sighed, it turned out to be such a money-throwing method, this is really money-sprinkling, after the initial surprise, he was overjoyed, okay, this kind of money-throwing method is really too enjoyable, this is his own reward to the people, look at their excited looks, presumably their image in their hearts, and a higher circle!

Li Mofeng saw Li Chongjiu's excited expression, and knew that his sycophants were in place, but he woke up again, he was afraid that this idea he came up with would fall on Li Bowen's head, and Li Chongjiu would not have any deep impression of him, if he wanted to become Li Chongjiu's henchman and be reused, he had to come up with some fierce material, so that Li Chongjiu would remember himself at once.

He thought for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Long live the reward!" As he spoke, he scooped up another handful of copper coins and threw them out. (To be continued......)
