Chapter 304: [Father and Son]

Li Chengqian, who is a father and mother, has done so much, just to ask Mr. Li to agree that he will not put the funds for the event on the Eastern Palace.

Old Li touched his ear and nodded to Li Chengqian: "This is a good word."

Kong Yingda's eyes lit up and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are wise. The old minister is still afraid that the Eastern Palace will not have enough money. If the treasury comes to pay for the money, it should be enough!"

Li Chengqian was speechless to this old man. This old man wanted knowledge and didn’t have money. No matter how much money he spent, he could buy knowledge.

"By the way, do you know if the Master knows how much money this treasury has?" Li Chengqian asked the old man.

"Uh, I don't know if this husband is not in his position!" Kong Yingda said in confusion.

Li Chengqian pinched his finger and calculated, "These two hundred words, one word costs a thousand yuan, and it costs two million guan. I'm afraid the treasury is not so much. Even if it's enough, if so much money is taken away, the treasury will be empty, and other places will have no money to use, I'm afraid it's not good!"

"Uh, uh, uh..." Confucius was stunned and asked, "What does your highness mean?"

Li Chengqian coughed, looked at Lao Li on the top, watched Lao Li pick up the tea and drink the tea leisurely, ignoring Li Chengqian and talking to the old man. Li Chengqian knew that Lao Li was allowing Li Chengqian to persuade Kong Yingda.

So Li Chengqian continued to play and said, "Actually, Master, I mean this. This word is a good thing, but our Pinyin dictionary is a great thing that benefits the world and remains in history. How can such a beautiful thing be filled with the smell of money? So I think it is possible to hold an event of a word, but I cannot really distribute a word to humiliate the Pinyin dictionary and knowledge!"

"If you don't give up money, can a word of money be called a word of money?" Kong Yingda asked strangely.

"There are always things in this world that are valuable and not full of money. For example, this is famous in history, such as the Confucian scholars like Confucius, who have given up and recognized the words that even Confucius could not read, but the other party could read them. That was very amazing!" said Li Chengqian.

"oh?"

"Yes, this first one is that those who recognize the characters can get the certificate signed by the great father, as well as the signature certificates of the Master and several great scholars from Hongwenguan. The second one is that the other party's name will be recorded in the Pinyin dictionary. The number of names he has as many as the Pinyin dictionary is published. Everyone who has read the dictionary knows that such a powerful person has contributed to this dictionary!" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "This is a matter of leaving a name in history. I am afraid that even if you exchange it for a daughter and someone, no one is willing to exchange it!"

Kong Yingda became happier the more he heard it, and an excited red expression appeared on his face, "This is a good idea, it is more attractive than a daughter, and there will be more knowledgeable people to recognize words!"

Seeing that he was convinced so quickly, Li Chengqian smiled.

Then he turned around and said to Lao Li: "Father, after discussion with my Master and I, we no longer need so much money to organize this one-month event, so I hope my father can approve the treasury to pay the funds for this event."

Kong Yingda opposed: "Your Highness, didn't you say that a word of money is worth a thousand dollars? Why did you still let the treasury pay for it?"

Lao Li, who was drinking tea casually, put down the teacup and explained to Confucius: "Kong Aiqing is confused. This activity naturally requires cost. Money is not just rewarded to the gentleman who recognizes his words. Okay, Kong Aiqing is tired, so go down first. I will discuss the details of this with Chengqian."

Li Chengqian nodded to Confucius, and his meaning was the same as Lao Li, so he asked Confucius to go out.

"Uh... the old minister took his leave." Confucius looked at their father and son resentfully, and then offered to say goodbye.

After he left, Old Li snorted and blamed Li Chengqian: "Who told you to say you don't need money in front of Kong Aiqing?"

"Uh?" Li Chengqian looked at Lao Li. Is this bad temper?

His eyes rolled and he asked, "What does Father mean?"

Old Li coughed, then tidied up his collar and said seriously: "Actually, this is the case. Didn't I say that in Changlepo the last time I want to start the polo game again and let the Tubo people see that our Tang Dynasty polo is not inferior to Tubo? So I want our polo team to perform well, but you have seen so many polo games, you should know what my Sa Zilu team looks like?"

Seeing that Old Li talked about the polo team, Li Chengqian nodded and commented: "I know, don't be angry when I say goodbye. Sa Zi Lu team is just one word, bad. They all stick your face and let other teams give in and win forever. But even Duobao team can win the Sa Zi Lu team, but Sa Zi Lu team has never been enterprising and just wants to take advantage of others!"

Old Li's eyes twitched.

"Father, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"No." Old Li waved his hand and then coughed: "So, we can't let the Tubo people see the Sa Zi Dew Team look like this,..."

"So don't let the Sa Zi Lu team participate in the competition!" Li Chengqian gave Lao Li an idea.

Old Li's eyes turned pale and he said, "Shut up and listen to me."

Li Chengqian shut up.

Old Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This Sa Zi Lu team represents me. If you don't participate, you can let the Tubo people see the magnificence of our Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid they will joke. So the Sa Zi Lu team needs to participate, and you must also let the Tubo people see it with a mighty posture."

"..." Li Chengqian looked at Lao Li.

Lao Li: "If anyone else says it."

Li Chengqian was finally able to speak: "Then what does this have to do with the funds I want?"

"Of course this has something to do, it's all about money." Old Li felt that Li Chengqian had finally set off.

"money?"

"Yes, I need money to equip the Sa Zi Dew Team, give the Sa Zi Dew Team better horses and better conditions, so that they can beat my magnificence." Lao Li had a momentum of giving guidance to the country for a moment!

"Father, isn't this Sa Zi Lu team the Emperor's team? You also said that the equipment of this Sa Zi Lu team is not good? The conditions are not good? The horses are not good?" Li Chengqian's mouth twitched. Isn't it embarrassing to say that Old Li is not shameful?

Old Li waved to Li Chengqian and asked him to get closer, his voice dropped a lot, and said, "The polo team I raised can certainly meet the basic conditions, but this cannot be compared with the polo teams of other big families!"

"Why?"

"If there is no money, those families can do business privately and pay dividends every year, so there is a lot of money to support the polo team, but my money is taken from the country, so how can I get so much money to support it?" Old Li whispered.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he understood that it was his personal hobby to raise a polo team, so he had to use his own money to support it, so he naturally could not use the country's money. So when compared with the polo teams of a big family, he would be out of competitiveness.
