Chapter 2752 People’s Hearts Are Positive, Not Gloomy
"I'm here, I'm here, oh! Is our lovely little princess feeling better?"
Princess Yongmu got off the airship and jumped after landing. Seeing Lu Lin Luo Luo who was watching the fun, she spoke in a half-familiar local dialect.
The little girl's eyes were bright. She was attracted by the jewelry of the beautiful big sister in front of her.
Princess Yongmu wore a lot of decorations, crowns, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, and gems of various colors on the belt of her skirt.
Even her clothes were decorated with jewels. Her clothes were Su embroidery.
Xiaolan was dressed in a similar way. Her clothes were Shu brocade. Su embroidery was generally more elegant, while Shu brocade was generally more colorful.
The two people's jewelry matched their clothes and looked coordinated.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!" The little girl said directly.
"Our little princess is also beautiful. Come and see what good things my sister brought you?"
Princess Yongmu took the little girl's uninjured hand and walked into the house.
The female guards were responsible for protection around her. Xiaolan carried a large crocodile skin bag.
Entering the princess' room, the second prince and the little girl's mother were sorting out their daughter's things and putting the toys back to their original positions.
When he saw Princess Yongmu, he was slightly distracted, then reacted and greeted: "Princess Yongmu?"
"The second prince is well!" Princess Yongmu smiled and nodded, and Xiaolan also nodded.
"Come on, come on, let's see which one our little princess likes?"
After saying hello, Princess Yongmu took the little girl to the small place next to her. She brought gifts.
Xiaolan invited the little girl's mother: "Sister, come and see together."
The little girl's mother is beautiful, more beautiful than the second prince's wife.
"Let's go outside." Li Yi went over and took the second prince's arm. Don't join in the fun, other people's women are together.
"Are those two your women?" The second prince saw the female guard standing outside and was distracted again, and asked Li Yi in a low voice.
"It's a fiancée. The word woman has a derogatory meaning in the current context."
Li Yi knew that the status of men and women in the eyes of the second prince was not equal, unless the woman's family was powerful.
The bride price was considered to compensate for the loss of labor force in the woman's family. After compensation, the status of women was naturally low.
Because the woman had no dowry, she was bought out.
"Isn't that the princess' maid?" The second prince didn't understand why you cared so much about a maid, just because she was beautiful?
"Xiao Lan can be a princess. I can decide who will be the emperor, but I can't decide who will be the princess?"
Li Yi had thought about it long ago. He turned Xiao Lan into a princess before the wedding. Isn't that how all the princesses who married out of the Tang Dynasty were made!
"Yes!" The second prince was upset when he thought about this. He wanted to be the king.
"Is the person that the noble brought to threaten me today mine?"
Li Yi remembered something. The noble and his men were killed by other nobles.
A large group of former civilians and slaves went up to the pyramid. How to attribute their identities was a problem.
"It's yours. The noble who made the move must be willing to give the person to you, for fear that you won't treat them."
The second prince's tone was not very good. He felt that Li Yi was insulting people. Can't you think of this yourself?
"I will see anyone who is sick. If they fall down at my door, I will rescue them first. Those who have money will ask for money later, and those who don't have money will forget about it."
Li Yi doesn't lie. He can't bear to see others die in front of him, especially when he can save them.
In Li's manor, if someone carries a patient here, it is impossible for them to ask for money first. It's like eating. After eating, they pay the bill.
If there is money, they can't deny it. Why ask him for money if he doesn't have money?
"How many things do you have to go with it?" The second prince didn't believe it.
Look at the current situation. The line is so long that there is a special passage for people who are carried here to go in directly.
Or if you hold a poisonous snake in your hand and shout that you are bitten by the snake, you will be given priority.
"We use paper money there, and I am responsible for making paper money."
Li Yi explained, and by the way, he flipped through his pocket and took out a ten-string banknote.
He always carries money with him, no matter where he is, just in case he can promote it.
The second prince took it in his hand and looked at it. It was beautiful. How was it made?
"Do you want it? Do you want me to design it for you and then print it out, and use it to buy things."
Li Yi nodded sincerely, I can print it for you for free, without charging cost.
"Good idea, if I have this thing, I will print it as much as I can." The second prince was tempted.
"That's how the Tang Dynasty is. Print it out to buy things, and the people will buy from each other with it. It has more benefits than other direct exchanges, and it's best to go to far places. Let me tell you about this banknote..."
Li Yi took out another banknote and explained anti-counterfeiting to the second prince.
The second prince was shocked when he heard it, and compared it with the banknote. Indeed, how is the watermark made?
"Isn't it easy to print this?" The second prince found that he couldn't do it.
"You want me to print it for you, can you issue it? Just spend it to buy things? We in the Tang Dynasty require the people to accept it."
Li Yi began to question that your currency is useless if others don't want it.
"If, I mean if, my father and brother want to kill me, I don't want to be killed, can you help me?"
The second prince knew that it was impossible for him to issue currency, and he didn't understand that the currency of the Tang Dynasty was not printed and issued casually.
Issuing currency with national credit is a breakthrough, but Li Yi does not want this breakthrough.
How could the second prince know the consequences of unlimited printing of money? He saw an opportunity in it, an opportunity to collect money.
Even if he becomes the king, he still considers how to concentrate wealth. As for the people, he has food and troops in his hands. Who dares to rebel?
"How many people support you? How many people support them? How many troops can both sides mobilize? When they are controlled, who will take over the special position..."
Li Yi asked a lot of questions, including whether the small nobles will choose independence.
The second prince was stunned by the question. He didn't think so much: "This... that... I have to ask someone."
"Okay! You ask first, I will provide you with help at any time. My requirement is that you have to bring people to join the Tang Dynasty and become a king of the Tang Dynasty. You will join the Tang Dynasty in name, but the Tang Dynasty is too far away from you. It is impossible to control you."
Li Yi agreed. Let's not rush and make plans before we act.
"Okay!" The second prince agreed, and walked away with a heavy heart and returned to his room.
Guo Ziyi, who had been standing guard not far away, came over: "Master Li, are you tired?"
"Tired? I rested well, not tired." Li Yi shook his head.
"I ask you if you are tired of calculating people like this?" Guo Ziyi emphasized.
"Who did I plot against? They were short of banknotes, so I offered to help print them. They were worried about their safety, so I was willing to provide some protection.
You see how cute the little girl is, do you want her family to be in trouble?
You have a dark heart and think everything is dark? Even if you always wake up at night, there are still beautiful stars and moon!
The sea is so dark, doesn't it allow life to exist tenaciously?
Even if Tibet is covered with snow, you can still find blooming snow lotus."
Li Yi taught Guo Ziyi not to think that what you think is what it is. Your heart is in darkness, what you see is darkness, but the truth is... darker than you think.
