Li Er returned to Yanjia Palace with great worries.

He was thinking about the saying that wool came from the dog along the way, and he became fascinated without realizing it.

Empress Changsun personally served him to take a bath and change his clothes.

Li Er turned around and saw Empress Changsun wearing a long skirt with several patches on her shoulders.

He was surprised and said, "Guanyin Bi, you are the lord of the harem, why do you wear patched clothes?"

Emperor Changsun said helplessly: "Second brother, the money in the inner treasury is almost gone."

What?

Li Er was a little stunned.

The inner treasury is Li Er’s own small treasury.

Every year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocates a portion of the money paid by various places to spend on various royal activities and the expenses of the harem.

Empress Changsun was the lord of the harem and had always been in charge of the finances of the inner treasury.

In previous years, the internal warehouses would also be in deficit, but it will take October to go.

It's only May this year, and it's almost empty?

Li Er couldn't help but be surprised.

Empress Changsun explained: "Did you forget that since this year, you have used the money from the inner treasury to reward ministers, princesses, and princesses. A few months ago, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong and the Ministry of Civil Affairs cried poor. The second brother generously allocated a sum of money to relieve disasters. Even if there were ten inner treasurys, it would not be enough for you to squander!"

There is still a bit of grief in the words.

It’s easy for me to take charge of the internal warehouse!

Li Er couldn't help but frown.

He waved his hand and said, "Guanyin Bi, give me some time, and I will definitely find a way to ask for some more money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

...

Two days later.

Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, met Li Er in Ganlu Hall.

Dai Zhou said: "Your Majesty, I have made a rough calculation. If you convert land, houses, etc. into it, the wealth of the world is 70% of the aristocratic families, the imperial court accounts for 20%, and the rest accounts for 10%.

Crash.

Upon hearing this, Li Er suddenly overturned all the things on the table to the ground.

A crazy smile appeared on his face: "Aristocratic families account for 70%, and the imperial court accounts for 20%?"

Dai Zhou explained: "Your Majesty, time is in a hurry. This result may not be accurate, but it will probably not be wrong."

Li Er suddenly thought of Chen Chu's silly face.

"What Chen Chu said is right. In the future, the poorer the poorer the richer the richer the richer!"

Dai Zhou asked curiously: "Your Majesty, who is Chen Chu?"

Li Er came to his senses and waved his hand quickly, "Chen Chu? Did I say Chen Chu? You heard it wrong, Dai Aiqing, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Seeing Li Er's smiling smile, Dai Zhou was frightened and trepidated: "Please give me instructions!"

Li Er said: "My inner treasury is already in deficit, and the harem is about to be unsustainable. I plan to allocate some money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the inner treasury. What do you think?"

When Dai Zhou heard this, he suddenly widened his eyes and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you must not... At the end of each year, all localities will transport taxes to Chang'an. The court officials allocated a sum of money and grain to the inner treasury based on the tax revenue. This is a common practice. Now, Your Majesty wants to allocate money again in the middle of the year, which is probably to attract opposition from the court officials... Furthermore, at the beginning of the year, Guanzhong has a severe drought, and now it is flooded in Henan and Hebei. The money and grain of the Ministry of Civil Affairs have been spent like flowing water, and it can no longer hold on..."

Li Er looked depressed.

He wanted to fool Dai Zhou, but he didn't expect Dai Zhou to cry in reverse.

Li Er waved his hand angrily: "You go down first."

"yes!"

Dai Zhou left with great worries.

Li Er sat behind the table, but sighed.

The Tang Dynasty is very rich!

And the emperor is very poor!

The inner treasury is so poor that it is almost empty, and the harem is almost out of trouble.

Even my queen was wearing patched clothes!

He doesn't blame Dai Zhou.

Because the court is indeed poor.

But money is gathered in the hands of aristocratic families.

KAKAKAKA.

His fist couldn't help but squeeze.

Then, a feeling of soreness came.

Li Er was stunned: "Is that guy Chen Chu right? Is this sick?"

After saying that, he shook his head again: "Impossible, I am in good health, so where did I get sick?"

...

at the same time.

Under Qingfeng Village.

In the thatched hut by the stream.

The candlelight sways.

The King of the Crown, Li Changle, looked at Chen Chu with admiration.

"Husband, why is your arithmetic so powerful?" Li Changle sincerely admired.

A husband.

Natural and friendly!

The voice is coquettish!

Chen Chu's scalp was a little numb and his whole body was soft!

It turned out that Li Changle had been clearing the accounts of the copycat these days, but found a mess and had no clue.

So, with a try-and-see attitude, she handed the account book to Chen Chu.

But I knew that Chen Chu had only taken one afternoon to sort out the accounts.

Li Changle was shocked by Chen Chu’s arising!

No matter what the number is, Chen Chu can calculate it with a glance.

Li Changle's true identity is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. She has been studying poetry and etiquette in the palace since she was a child, and also learned miscellaneous studies such as arithmetic.

She felt that even the math masters in the palace would not be Chen Chu's opponent in total.

After a while, after Chen Chu finished the account book, Li Changle asked shyly: "Husband, can you teach me your arithmetic?"

Chen Chu curled his lips and said, "You can't learn it!"

Li Changle said unhappily: "There is no one in the world that the leader of our village cannot learn!"

She is a princess!

Since childhood, smart!

Even the emperor praised her for being smarter than the current crown prince.

A small arithmetic, what's so great about it?

Chen Chu said seriously: "Arithmetic is a knowledge that is easy to get started, but difficult to advance. There is a saying in the industry: If you want to learn it, sleep with your master first, so you are destined not to learn it."

What?

Li Changle was stunned at first.

Then his face turned red.

"Bah, I'm going to the disciple!"

"This village leader is not interested in learning!"

As she said that, she ran away.

Not long after, Chen Chu was about to blow out the candle and go to bed, but the door was pushed open again.

Li Changle is actually back!

She looked at Chen Chu pitifully and said, "Husband, can you teach me your arithmetic?"

oops!
