Chapter 552 Li Xiang Enters the Capital (2)

"Everyone! The Supervisor of the Imperial Household Pei Feishu is outside seeking to see you!" Not long after Li Ke was taken away, an eunuch came to report.

Pei Feishu was the Supervisor of the Imperial Household of the Tang Dynasty, an official in charge of the skills of all kinds of craftsmen. Those who could hold such an official position were all very careful with money.

Pei Feishu was a very shrewd person and very good at business. He was a good money manager and he made a lot of money for Li Chengqian on weekdays.

"Why is he here?" Li Chengqian asked.

He had just finished talking with Li Ke about Li Jue's problem and he was still a little unhappy. Now he didn't want to see anyone.

"He said that he could increase the money of the court by 200,000 strings of cash every year, so he came to ask for your help," said the eunuch.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian understood what was going on. Pei Feishu was going to ask him for permission to sell horse dung.

As the protagonist who traveled from the future, how could Li Chengqian not know about the matter of Pei Feishu, the Supervisor of the Imperial Household, asking for permission to sell the horse dung in Yuyuan.

It is said that once, Pei Feishu, the Supervisor of the Imperial Household, saw that the horse dung in Yuyuan was piled up like a mountain, and he suddenly had an idea to make money by selling horse dung.

He immediately ran to Emperor Gaozong of Tang and told him about it. Emperor Gaozong was naturally very happy after hearing it, and he highly praised Pei Feishu's proposal.

Who knew that such a good thing would be ruined by Liu Rengui's hands.

I don't know if Emperor Gaozong of Tang was kicked in the head by a donkey. He actually went to Liu Rengui to talk about selling horse dung for no reason.

Liu Rengui naturally disagreed, but the old man didn't say it clearly. After all, he was afraid that Emperor Gaozong of Tang would be angry.

So he pretended to agree, and then changed the subject and talked about the emperor's face, saying that the emperor selling horse dung would damage the dignity of the royal family. It would be a disgrace to the emperor's family. How would future generations talk about you? They would say you are the horse dung emperor. How bad is your reputation?

After hearing this, Emperor Gaozong of Tang's face changed. After all, he was also an emperor. Even if he couldn't be famous for generations, he couldn't bear the reputation of a horse dung emperor.

He, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, was a man of face, so he stopped Pei Feishu, the Shaofu Supervisor, from selling horse dung.

In this way, the face was saved, but the money was gone!

Li Chengqian would not ask for something impractical like him.

Who doesn't love money these days, even the emperor is no exception.

"Let him in!" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" The eunuch took the order and left.

Pei Feishu walked into the Purple Palace and saluted to Li Chengqian on the throne, saying, "Your Majesty, I, the Supervisor of the Imperial Household, Pei Feishu, pay my respects to you!"

"No need for the formalities! Stand up!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei Feishu thanked him.

"I heard that you can increase the money of the court by 200,000 strings of cash every year. Is that true?" Li Chengqian asked, with his right palm on his right knee, his left palm supporting his chin, and his elbow on his thigh.

You know, one string of money is one thousand coins, and two hundred thousand strings of money is not a small amount.

Pei Feishu knew that it was time for him to show himself in front of the emperor. If he could make the emperor happy, his career would be bright.

"Yes! I can indeed bring your majesty two hundred thousand strings of money a year." Pei Feishu said.

"Oh! I want to hear how you get two hundred thousand strings of money for me." Li

Chengqian said. "Your Majesty! There are a lot of horse manure in the garden, piled up like a mountain. I come here to request to sell these horse manure, so that I can earn two hundred thousand strings of money a year." Pei Feishu said.

Sure enough, he really came to sell horse manure, Li Chengqian thought to himself.

"Well! Your suggestion is good! Then I will allow you to sell the horse manure in the Yu Garden and see if you can really earn 200,000 strings of cash a year." Li Chengqian said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! If you can't sell 200,000 strings of cash, I am willing to resign and retire, and never enter the court again." Pei Feishu said.

This time he was willing to risk his life. In order to gain the emperor's trust, he was willing to bet his career.

If he lost the bet, he would have nothing!

"Okay! I will give you the horse manure in the Yu Garden. If you can really bring the court an annual income of 200,000 strings of cash, I will not treat you unfairly, and the court will not treat you unfairly either." Li Chengqian said.

"I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Pei Feishu said happily.

"Okay! You can leave now!" Li Chengqian said.

"I'll take my leave!" Pei Feishu bowed and left.

Li Chengqian allowed Pei Feishu to sell the horse manure from Yuyuan just as an experiment. If he could really make so much money, then he

would not only sell the horse manure from Yuyuan, but also the horse manure from other places, especially the horse manure from Zhechong Mansion.

This was just the beginning. Li Chengqian also planned to open a fertilizer factory, focusing on the research of various fertilizers, and then sell them all over the world.

If you want to make a lot of money, don't limit yourself to one place. Only by making it international can you make a lot of money.

By then, the Tang Dynasty will be rich.

"Everyone! Prince Wei and his entourage should be in Chang'an soon! Do you think we should send someone to welcome them?" Wang Quan asked.

"What's going on with the Crown Prince?" Li Chengqian asked.

"After the Crown Prince returned to the Eastern Palace, he summoned his teacher Li Jingxuan and several officials of the Eastern Palace. These people are all the Crown Prince's confidants." Wang Quan said. "

You go out of the city in person to welcome Prince Wei and bring him directly to see me. Oh! By the way, if he comes to Chang'an alone this time without his family, bring him directly to see me."

"If Prince Wei brings his family to the capital, you can arrange for him to stay at the residence of the imperial envoys, and you don't have to bring him to see me." Li Chengqian said.

"I understand! I'll do it now!" Wang Quan said, turning around and leaving.

"Wait, send Tian Youyan to the Eastern Palace first, and then go to pick up Prince Wei." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

Wang Quan first took Tian Youyan to the East Palace and told the prince that this was the prince's groom newly recruited by the emperor.

After leaving the East Palace, Wang Quan went five miles out of the city to meet Li Xiang.

In the distance, on the horizon, a carriage was coming quickly.

It was a simple carriage, pulled by two tall horses, and there were two guards riding horses in front and behind the carriage.

"Call!" Everyone stopped in front of Wang Quan, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Li Xiang and a middle-aged man walked out from inside.

"Wang Jian, why are you here?" Li Xiang asked in surprise when he saw Wang Quan.

Wang Quan looked carefully and found that apart from Li Xiang and the middle-aged man beside him, there were only four guards, and no family members.

Through the raised curtain, Wang Quan saw everything in the carriage.

"Prince Wei, I am here to welcome you at the order of His Majesty. Your Majesty has given you an oral order." Wang Quan said with a smile.

Li Xiang and others knelt down hurriedly after hearing the four words "Your Majesty's oral order", and the four guards also got off their horses and knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty has given you an oral order, ordering Prince Wei to follow me into the palace to see the emperor!" Wang Quan said.

"Your servant, Li Xiang, obeys your order!" Li Xiang saluted.
